“Lord Leng, welcome back! Let’s go inside now,” said Leng Changzhi with excitement and happiness. He had the same feeling as Master Leng and also felt happy when Yunyao came back.
“Sure,” said Leng Shaoting, then walked inside, followed by Leng Changzhi.
The second he entered the living room, his sight fell on Yunyao and met her eyes. His body shook a little and his heart began to pound fast from the strong familiarity he felt. However, he wasn’t surprised, because he knew that she would be here.
Leng Shaoting didn’t know that Jing Yunyao lost her memories, but cultivators had a strong feeling towards blood connection, so he was sure that she was his mother as soon as he saw her. He felt like crying and tears welled up in his eyes, but he controlled himself.
Yunyao, however, burst into tears the moment she saw Leng Shaoting, but she covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out loud.
Jing Yunyao stood still, and Leng Shaoting walked to her step by step.
Master Leng thought that Leng Shaoting hadn’t seen Yunyao for 15 years, and he was only 11 years old when Yunyao left him, so Master Leng wanted to introduce Yunyao to him. However, before he could do that, Leng Shaoting opened his mouth first and called with difficulty, “Mom.”
He hadn’t called that for 15 years, so he wasn’t familiar with it right now, but he couldn’t help saying that aloud because of their blood connection.
Master Leng and the others were surprised when Leng Shaoting easily called Jing Yunyao his mom. They hadn’t seen each other in 15 years after all, and they thought that Leng Shaoting would refuse to accept Yunyao when they met again. To their astonishment, Leng Shaoting looked quite calm, as if he already knew that Yunyao wasn’t dead.
In fact, Leng Shaoting was indeed mentally-prepared for it, and he was very used to controlling his emotions, so he didn’t have a strong reaction.
Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi, on the other hand, were totally shocked. They couldn’t believe that this stranger turned out to be Leng Shaoting’s mother.They thought that their Aunt Yunyao had already pa.s.sed away 15 years ago. However, it seemed that they were wrong.
Since Leng Shaoting just called the woman his mom, it must be true, but it was still quite unbelievable in their eyes.
Jing Yunyao subconsciously answered Leng Shaoting’s call, then cried again.
Although she didn’t have memories, she felt the strong blood connection, and when Leng Shaoting called her mom it aroused the maternal love she had forgotten.
Leng Shaoting didn’t know what to do when Jing Yunyao cried. He walked ahead at once and laid his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t cry.” However, when Leng Shaoting said that to comfort her, Jing Yunyao lost control of herself and cried louder. Leng Shaoting honestly didn’t know what to do at this moment.
Even though Gu Ning was Leng Shaoting’s girlfriend, she was still an outsider and it was their family affair, so she said nothing.
Master Leng and the others also felt touched by the scene. Even Leng Yuanqian who didn’t want Yunyao to come back was affected. After all, he wasn’t a cold-blooded man, and he was simply gotten the better of by his jealousy.
He was jealous of Leng Yuanhan because Master Leng cared more about Leng Yuanhan than him, then he was jealous of Leng Shaoting because he believed that his son wasn’t worse than Leng Shaoting. Leng Shaoming actually also had a bright future in politics.
No one interrupted Jing Yunyao when she cried. Nevertheless, Jing Yunyao soon realized what she was doing and felt embarra.s.sed. She did her best to control herself and gradually stopped crying.
“Sorry, I lost my manners.” Jing Yunyao apologized to them.
“It’s fine. We understand,” said Master Leng. “Come on, have a seat now!”
Afterwards, everyone was seated, and Leng Shaoting sat with Jing Yunyao.
Leng Shaoting felt a little uneasy, because he had never stayed so close to any women except for Gu Ning during these years. Although Jing Yunyao was his mother, they hadn’t seen each other for 15 years after all.
“Shaoting, why didn’t you look shocked when you saw your mother?” asked Master Leng with curiosity.
“Well, Jinchen received a call from his mother on our way back here. He told me that his mother ran into a woman who closely resembles my mom and that she was with Ningning, so I already knew it before I came here,” said Leng Shaoting.
“How come you knew that she’s your mother? Don’t you have doubt?” asked Master Leng again, because it seemed too easy for Leng Shaoting to accept it.
“I trust Ningning,” said Leng Shaoting. “In addition, we’re connected by blood, and I trust my feelings.”
Actually, it was more because he was a cultivator, but Leng Shaoting wouldn’t tell them that. He became a cultivator, then found out that his mother was also a cultivator. It wasn’t easy for a cultivator to die, so he was mentally-prepared for the fact that his mother might still be alive.
Master Leng felt that something wasn’t right, but he didn’t ask further about it. Since Yunyao’s ident.i.ty was already confirmed, there was nothing he needed to be worried about.
When it was 11:10 am, Leng Yuanjin’s family came, and the housekeeper welcomed them at once.
Even though they already knew that Yunyao was back, they were still amazed when they finally saw her. They even forgot to greet Master Leng and kept staring at Jing Yunyao. “Yunyao!”
“You must be Yuanjin, and this is your husband, Wenxuan, right?” Jing Yunyao stood up to greet them.
Jing Yunyao could recognize Leng Yuanjin and Song Wenxuan not because she remembered something, but because Master Leng just mentioned them.
