Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Have You Forgotten Mom?

Liu Ge hadn’t expected He Xiuyu to be so stubborn, "Xiuyu, everyone knows that Rongrong’s father simply doesn’t have the time to look after her, and as her biological mother, I have the right to have her by my side. No one can stop that, not even you."

"Of course, I can."

"On what grounds? Do you think just because Rongrong has lived with you for so long, she no longer needs me, her mother?"

Liu Ge became somewhat distraught, standing up swiftly as tears streamed down her face, "Xiuyu, I know you all hate me, but I was helpless at the time, I truly had no choice, I never thought of abandoning her, I always wanted to come back for her, and now that I’ve finally returned, what reason or right do you have to prevent me from doing so?"

"I certainly have a reason." He Xiuyu pointed at Wu Hong, "Even if you didn’t have contact with his father, Wu Xiujie, you’re still his son, and Wu Xiujie currently has too many issues. With my special status, even if I agreed, the Organization would not approve of you taking He Xuerong away, do you understand?"

Liu Ge’s face turned ashen, clearly aware of the trouble Wu Xiujie had stirred up in China. Wu Hong looked awkward, seemingly upset, and said, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I didn’t realize it would be so complicated."

"Mr. Wu Hong, I hope you can understand," said He Xiuyu calmly.

Liu Ge had prepared a myriad of excuses, even brought a lawyer’s letter, but what was the use now? According to He Xiuyu, she truly couldn’t take He Xuerong away.

Liu Ge was grinding her teeth in anger, "He Xiuyu, I didn’t expect you to be such a heartless and ungrateful person."

He Xiuyu laughed silently, raising his eyebrows as he looked at Liu Ge. He truly didn’t understand how this woman had the audacity to say such things.

His laugh was cold, with a tinge of mockery, changing Liu Ge’s complexion from pale to flushed and back again.

Wu Hong watched Liu Ge with a pained expression, whispering, "I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect my situation to cause such trouble."

Liu Ge, choking back tears, said, "Don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault, it’s all my fault."

"It’s not your fault; it’s mine. I’m sorry."

He Xiuyu suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

And yet, these two remained oblivious.

He Xiuyu cleared his throat gently, a reminder to these two people apologizing and blurring their eyes with tears.

"I have other matters to attend to, and this isn’t a place for you to stay long."

Tears blurred Liu Ge’s vision as she looked at He Xiuyu, "Xiuyu, I want to see Rongrong."

He Xiuyu frowned, according to his own wishes, he wouldn’t let He Xuerong meet Liu Ge, according to his wishes, it would be best if she never saw this woman in her lifetime.

But regardless, Rongrong was Liu Ge’s biological daughter, and the bond of blood was mysterious, sometimes beyond reason.

Just like Wu Xiucai and Wu Qianyun, even if they hadn’t met for half a century, the affection between father and daughter was now very deep.

The words Liu Ge had just spoken were also true; he indeed didn’t have the qualification or right to prevent He Xuerong from seeing Liu Ge.

If after seeing Liu Ge, He Xuerong decided to leave with her mother, then he would have no choice but to accept it.

Then, he couldn’t help but admit, no matter how well Qiao Qingyu treats Rongrong, could she ever truly replace the position of a mother?

He Xiuyu nodded, "Wait here, I’ll bring Rongrong over."

Liu Ge breathed a sigh of relief. She was pleased just to be allowed to see her; she had thought He Xiuyu to be so heartless as to not even permit a meeting.

She was Rongrong’s biological mother. The natural bond between mother and daughter is something that no one can sever, not even Liu Ge. Despite her love, she couldn’t abandon the maternal bond.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hong stopped He Xiuyu. He moved swiftly to open the leather bag he was carrying and took out a box. Opening the box, inside was a brilliant green jade bracelet.

Wu Hong’s voice carried a plea and a deep sense of guilt, "I’m sorry, I am not an open-hearted person. I have my own selfish reasons for accompanying Liu Ge on this trip. The name engraved on this jade bracelet belongs to my cousin. I don’t know how my father came to possess this bracelet, but he gave it to my mother, who then passed it on to me.

When I found out that my uncle had located my cousin, I also learned my cousin’s name is Wu Qianyun and then I retrieved this jade bracelet. I didn’t dare to meet my uncle."

At this point, Wu Hong let out a bitter laugh, "Although Wu Xiujie is my biological father, we have no relationship. Naturally, my uncle looks down on me, he may not even be aware of my existence. So, I wanted to meet Qiao Qingyu and return this jade bracelet to her personally."

He Xiuyu looked deeply at Wu Hong, then reached out to take the box, lifted the jade bracelet, and looked inside at the engraving. Indeed, three characters were etched there: Wu Qianyun.

However, they were in seal script, which could be mistaken for three decorative patterns if one wasn’t paying attention.

He Xiuyu thought for a moment, then nodded, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to my place."

Liu Ge and Wu Hong’s eyes flashed with surprise; they hadn’t expected He Xiuyu to agree so readily.

He Xiuyu handed the box back to Wu Hong, who carefully put it back into the leather bag.

As if he feared that a careless mistake might shatter it.

He Xiuyu’s gaze flickered slightly, but he said nothing and led the two of them towards the base’s family compound. At this time, Qiao Qingyu would be at home.

Rongrong happened to be outside the front gate, running around and playing with Li Mingguang, Dashun, and Daji.

The little girl’s eyes sparkled brightly, her cheeks rosy, wearing a fuzzy hat and a scarf of the same color, with red gloves matching her hat, and dressed in white lambskin boots, she looked just like a little princess.

Liu Ge was frozen for a moment, then staggered over. Reaching He Xuerong, she knelt down to look her daughter in the eyes. Her lips quivered, her vision blurred with tears, then she enveloped a shocked He Xuerong in her arms, bursting into loud sobs.

Her crying startled the nearby children. Li Mingguang was the first to rush forward, grabbing Liu Ge’s arm, frowning and shouting, "Who are you, let go of Rongrong, you’re scaring her!"

Daji also charged forward, trying hard to push Liu Ge away.

He Xuerong seemed petrified, motionless, just staring at the face that was both strange and familiar to her.

Have you forgotten your mother?

No!

She has photos of her mother. She remembered everything when her mother left her. It’s only been two years; she couldn’t have truly forgotten her.

But she rarely, very rarely, thought of her father, let alone this mother.
