Chapter 94 Let Bygones Be Bygones
"My girl, I am your mother!" Angie Gong, holding Lola"s face in both hands, was excited to introduce herself.
Joseph pulled the dumbfounded Lola and whispered a reminder, "Say something!"
Lola looked at Angie Gong and gently let out a sound, "Mother."
Angie hugged Lola tightly in her arms, "My dear daughter, I finally find you!"
Lola looked at the aged Landon Li and called out, "Grandfather!" Landon Li nodded with joy!
Facing Harold Li, Lola hesitated and called out, "Father!" Harold Li responded at once. This was his own daughter, whom he used to hold in his arms when she was a little baby!
The family reunited and everyone was very excited and happy.
Lola stood up from the sofa, for there was something she had to let them know. "I have divorced... and I"m six months... pregnant... If you mind..."
"Not at all! That is my great-grandson! Who would dare to mind?" Landon Li was the first to show his att.i.tude.
"Silly girl, Mom and Dad cannot be happier. We don"t mind at all." Angie held Lola"s hand, unwilling to let her go.
"Right, you are my sister. If anyone dares to mind that, I will kick his a.s.s!" At last, Joseph realized that another reason why Lola was so familiar to him was that she looked like his big brother!
"What about your foster parents?" Harold Li hoped he could pay them a visit and express his grat.i.tude.
"... I... My mother pa.s.sed away when I was eight years old, and my father disappeared after a calamity. So, I was alone since then!" She didn"t know how her father was now! She was so worried about him!
Hearing the misfortune of Lola"s foster family, everyone was silent. "You don"t have to worry about it. No news is the best news. I will send someone to D City to look for him." Looking at the sad expression of Lola, Jordan figured that her foster parents must have been very good to her!
Before the plane took off, Lola took a selfie and posted it on her Weibo, with the words: "Let bygones be bygones."
Lola deleted Weibo from her cell phone and sent a message to Wendy saying that they might see each other soon. After she settled in A Country, she would make Jordan take responsibility for Wendy. She looked forward to being her sister-in-law.
And she sent a message to Zoe: "My dear friend, thank you for helping me and taking care of me for so long. I"m leaving now. See you."
Gazing at the message from Lola, Zoe lowered his head, tears flowing from his eyes.
As she left the country, he would leave as well!
It was already evening when Lola arrived in A Country. By the light of the street lamp, Lola saw a number of ancient villas within a large manor.
Angie told Lola that there were eight villas, all of which were properties of the Li Family.
In that night, to bond with her daughter, Angie asked Harold to sleep in another room and shared the bed with Lola.
"Lola, how are you these years?" Angie put the pillow behind Lola for her to lean back on.
"Well, my father loved me very much. After he was framed by a good friend, my grandmother was so mad that she had a heart attack and pa.s.sed away. After my father disappeared... I was set up by my ex-boyfriend, and I... got married with my ex-husband. He... was very good to me and tolerant of my bad temper..." At that moment, tears welled up in Lola"s eyes. He was really nice to her.
Angie wiped tears for his daughter with a wet tissue. "Don"t be sad. Why did you divorce then?"
"Cuz his ex-girlfriend was a cunning woman. She set me up several times. Once, when I was pregnant, which I was unaware of, she pushed me down the stairs. The child was gone. I don"t know how she made my... ex-husband believe that I did the abortion on purpose..." Lola"s heart ached when she recalled the love-hate relationship in the past.
"By the way, mother, we haven"t done a paternity test, why are you so sure that I am your daughter?" They didn"t ask for a paternity test, which made Lola quite curious.
"Silly girl, you see, you and your elder brother look alike. When you were newborn babies, you two looked almost the same. And, do you have an old pocket watch?" Rubbing Lola"s silky long hair, Angie determined to make it up to her daughter.
Lola nodded, but she had never taken it out!
"Your old pocket watch was a family heirloom from your grandmother. You were the only girl in your generation, so your grandma gave it to you!" After Lola was taken away, there had been no news whatsoever about her for a few years. The couple decided to give birth to another girl to ease the pain. Who knows, a boy was born again...
Lola chatted with Angie till late at night. She felt a sense of relief when she spoke out her thoughts. In the past, she had too much on her mind, which suffocated her sometimes.
Angie touched Lola"s pregnant belly and said, "Don"t be sad. Now that you are back, we will protect you and won"t let you get hurt."
"Thanks, mother..."
In Royal 6 Club of D City.
In the upscale private room, the smoke was lingering and the wine was pungent.
Four men scattered in the private room. Eason Bo, who was usually mysterious at his whereabouts, looked at his good friend Harry Si with a frown. He wondered why Harry became a different person as they hadn"t met each other for such a long time.
Four bottles of Baijiu had already been emptied and numerous packs of cigarette had already been consumed.
"Samuel, haven"t you always gone to his company? What happened to him? Did the company go bankrupt?" Eason, holding the wine gla.s.s, turned his head to look at the indifferent Samuel.
"The company went bankrupt? His company is doing well. It won"t go bankrupt even if it earns no money in the next few years." Samuel and Chuck clinked gla.s.ses and poured half a gla.s.s of wine down their throats.
"So what"s wrong with him? Isn"t he just engaged? Shouldn"t he be in high spirits for such happy event?" Eason s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine gla.s.s from Harry"s hand.
Samuel read Lola"s latest Weibo post, which had been pushed to the hot list. Comments kept popping up but no one had responded. It seemed that Lola had deleted Weibo.
"His ex-wife disappeared." Yes, there"s no other reason.
"His ex-wife? How come someone that he is so infatuated with becomes his ex-wife?" This guy was so mean. He didn"t tell his good friends anything about his flash marriage and flash divorce!
"He is with Yolanda now!" Chuck opened his tacit mouth. That b.i.t.c.h! Harry was perhaps the only muddlehead!
"... Doesn"t he love the actress very much?" Eason couldn"t understand who he really loved? Both? Having a wife and a mistress? He was capable indeed, but he was not that kind of person!
Eason"s words were followed by a long silence.
