Chapter 545 - 546: Traveling Together
Lou Xi accompanies Shen Youran on a walk through the campus, just like the most ordinary mother and daughter.
Today’s weather is particularly good, the sun is shining brightly, the temperature is just right, and it feels comfortable.
Shen Youran and Lou Xi walk in the middle of the group, with people protecting them from all sides but maintaining a certain distance, as if intentionally creating an opportunity for the two to walk together.
As they walk, Shen Youran reaches out to hold Lou Xi’s arm.
Bai Lu’s body briefly stiffens, but contrary to Shen Youran’s expectation that she might withdraw, Bai Lu does nothing and lets her hold on.
Shen Youran’s heart is relieved, realizing her daughter has actually accepted her.
"How’s the baby, is it healthy?" Shen Youran asks.
"Everything’s good, Mo Bai is very good at taking care of people."
"That’s wonderful, you’ve found a good man, you’ll definitely be happy."
Lou Xi does not ask Shen Youran if she found a bad man, one who abandoned his wife and daughter after she became pregnant, leaving Shen Youran completely hopeless.
"Xixi, I hope you’ll give me a chance to make amends. Now, I’m capable of ensuring you live without worry about food and clothing. I want to make up for the years of neglect," this is the reason Shen Youran returned.
Lou Xi thinks back to the call with Qin Mobai earlier, taking a deep breath.
"Are you going back to the Shen Family?"
Shen Youran seems surprised by Lou Xi’s question about the Shen Family, hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied: "I plan to."
"Then I’ll go back with you!"
Shen Youran is quite surprised, "Really?"
Lou Xi nods, "I’ve thought a lot during this period, I’ve resented and hated, but I know you were a victim too. I can’t keep blaming you. We finally meet again, and if I spend all the time blaming you, neither of our hearts will find peace. So...Mom, I think we can start anew."
Shen Youran’s eyes instantly redden.
She thought she would never again hear her daughter call her "Mom" in this lifetime, so when Lou Xi called her, she was extremely moved and surprised.
Unable to hold back, she immediately embraces Lou Xi.
Lou Xi returns Shen Youran’s embrace.
Among the delegation visiting the campus and the school’s leadership and students, aside from Ji Mushen and Bai Lu, no one else knows why Shen Youran suddenly hugs Lou Xi.
...
That day, Qin Sheng, the old lady, and Qin Ruiqian received an invitation to dine at Half Mountain Manor.
The invitation was white with gold trim, with calligraphy and floral script in both Chinese and English.
Qin Sheng only knew that a party was being hosted by diplomats and their spouses from Monaco, but didn’t expect that the diplomat’s wife was Shen Youran, who had been expelled from the Shen Family as the second miss, Shen Youran!
Even more unexpected for Qin Sheng was hearing his granddaughter-in-law call Shen Youran "Mom."
Today’s Half Mountain Manor is bustling with excitement.
Compared to the hustle and bustle downstairs, Lou Xi and Qin Mobai’s room upstairs seems much quieter.
The dinner is very formal, so Lou Xi has to change into a dress.
