He Xiyan rubbed her temples and thought for a while but she was still not sure who could have sent her the gift.
“Forget it, please help me pack it away,” she said. She would send another present in return once she figured out who had sent her this present since it was such an expensive present that she did not like owing others a favor.
Menglin nodded and acknowledged her request. Then, she continued to pack the items away. There were just too many items that she would probably need at least one to two hours to sort through them all.
He Xiyan lay against her bed and continued to rest. She was still shaken up by the nightmare she had the night before and did not sleep well, so she was feeling a little sleepy. She was only waiting for the doctor’s examination that was scheduled this afternoon, then she would be discharged and could go home to rest comfortably. She did not know that the secret that she had worked so hard to keep was completely exposed.

Li Qin reacted like a madwoman after receiving the pictures from her son and kept muttering the same name over and over again. “Yuan Yuan… yes, this child was called Yuan Yuan.”
She was extremely excited and her face was so flushed that it looked like she had put on rouge.
Her movements became sharper and she could even walk steadily after throwing her cane aside.
She took out her phone and searched for the photographs that she had taken previously at the hospital and at the children’s playground. These were all photographs of Yuan Yuan and she had secretly snapped these photos because how much the child had resembled Yixuan.
She didn’t realize that that child was her grandson, her biological grandson. She finally had a grandchild to call her own.
Li Qin gaped like a fish in her excitement, as though she had experienced rain after a long drought and she felt both elated and thrilled.
“Wu Xiaomin… come here. Don’t you think that this child really looks like Mo Yixuan?” Li Qin was so delighted that she even proactively showed the photo to Wu Xiaomin, then to Lin Yanyan. The two girls nodded in surprise.
“Yes, they really do,” the two girls agreed in unison because they could indeed see the resemblance. Wu Xiaomin recognized the woman carrying the child as Sister He’s maid.
“This is my grandson. He Xiyan is his mother but I mistakenly thought that this girl was his mother,” Li Qin pointed at Qin Xiaoyu who had carried Yuan Yuan up the stage to collect his prize previously.
Wu Xiaomin shook her head and said, “Madame, I recognize this girl. She is a maid employed by Sister He.”
Li Qin replied, “Exactly. It was my fault for not noticing it earlier. I had a.s.sumed that this woman was the child’s mother.”
If she had noticed this earlier and dug deeper into it, she would have already known that she had a grandson.
He Xiyan was truly despicable. How could she keep this fact from both herself and Mo Yixuan? She even let the child be adopted under Ye Hao’s name. This child should take the Mo family name, so how could he be raised by the Ye family? His last name was Ye and his full name was Ye Ling. This name sounded horrible and uncouth, as though it was sloppily put together.
Li Qin clenched her fingers together and her eyes were bright and sharp. The dark clouds that had hung overhead recently had completely scattered now that she had found her grandson. She couldn’t wait to hold him and she remembered seeing him twice. He was a very beautiful child and looked exactly like Mo Yixuan as a child, all fair and rosy and exceptionally adorable.
She had always known that her grandson would be a good-looking child.
“Let’s go to the shopping mall. I want to buy some things,” Li Qin told the two maids.
Wu Xiaomin looked at her in confusion. She couldn’t understand why Li Qin suddenly wanted to go to the shopping mall since she couldn’t even walk steadily.
“Madame, why don’t you let us know what you’d like to purchase and Yanyan and myself will get it on your behalf.”
Li Qin shook her head stubbornly. “I want to be there to personally select presents for my grandson.” She would then pay her precious grandson a visit thereafter.
