Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 156 - 153: Have You Made a Mistake?

"""

Thinking of this, she shook her head and gave a bitter smile. How could it be possible? He was a man among men, while she was at best a divorced, infertile woman.

Long Wu noticed her mood but couldn’t figure out where to have the conversation. Finally, he pulled over on a quiet roadside. "Let’s talk here!"

"Alright!" Xia Yu reined in her wild thoughts, as though waiting for a final judgment with devout earnestness.

She knew she had never been physically strong; every time it was overcast or raining, her whole body ached. Perhaps, long ago, there were signs indicating her poor health, but she’d never had the time or resources to get checked due to the demands of life.

Taking a deep breath, Long Wu controlled his volume and said, "Meng Meng! How much longer are you going to pretend?"

Xia Yu looked at him as though he were a monster. Meng Meng? Pretending? Pretending what?

"What are you saying?"

"Meng Meng, I’ve got the test results. Your blood type is the rare Panda blood. Are you still going to act like you don’t know me?" Long Wu couldn’t hold back; he pulled out a piece of paper with the test results, clearly stating her blood type as RH-negative A-type.

Xia Yu took the report, confusion written all over her face. "My name is Xia Yu! Are you sure you aren’t mistaken?"

"Still pretending? Meng Meng, I just want to know—what have you been doing all these years? Do you know your father passed away five years ago because he worried about you constantly?" Long Wu had so much he wanted to say but could only manage this line.

Xia Yu felt a strange sensation rising in her chest. "Boss, I really am not the Meng Meng you speak of! I want to head back to the shop now. President Li is still waiting for me!"

All she wanted now was to escape from this man whose eyes held something she couldn’t decipher. No matter who he was, what connection could he possibly have to her?

Maybe she just bore a resemblance to someone else. A coincidence, even the same rare blood type. What did these things matter? She knew with certainty that she was a divorced woman. Even if she had no memory of her past, it was impossible that there was any entanglement with him.

"Today, we’re not leaving until everything has been made clear!" Long Wu shouted, agitated. "Do you know how we’ve all been living these years? How can you be so selfish? Fine, if your father’s passing doesn’t move you, I’ll take you to see your mother. Surely that counts for something?"

With that, he turned the steering wheel and drove forward.

Panicked, Xia Yu searched for a way to open the car door, but this high-end vehicle was locked, only able to be released from the driver’s seat. She shouted angrily, "Let me out! Let me out!"

Ignoring her protests, Long Wu drove at breakneck speed, weaving through traffic like a race car driver. Finally, Xia Yu stopped yelling and sat quietly, clutching the handle tightly while watching the rapidly receding scenery, lost in thought.

Just then, a fleeting image crossed her mind—something similar had been said—but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall it clearly.

The car stopped in front of a nursing home. Long Wu roughly pulled Xia Yu out of the car and strode toward a small two-story building. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Look, this is where your mother lives now!"

Long Wu’s eyes were fierce. Xia Yu was so frightened she trembled and instinctively backed away. She was terrified of his gaze; it felt like he wanted to devour her.

A nurse, following his instructions, opened a hospital room. Inside was a white bed and a white desk. An elderly woman with short hair sat clutching a doll, muttering softly to herself.

Long Wu pulled Xia Yu over and shoved her toward the old woman’s bed. "Look! See what your mother has become!"

Terror filled Xia Yu’s eyes as she scanned the surroundings. This place—a mental institution, perhaps? What was Long Wu trying to do? Why had he brought her here? She wanted to call Li Si for help.

The elderly woman finally raised her head, deep wrinkles creasing her brow, her skin dry and eyes alight with an unnerving intensity, as if she had just discovered something incredible.

She dropped the doll and instantly grabbed Xia Yu’s hand. "Meng Meng! You’re Meng Meng!"

"I’m not!" Xia Yu struggled, but the woman’s grip was strong. Desperate, she tried to explain herself, hoping they would listen.

"No! You are! Meng Meng! My precious child, where have you been? Mommy missed you so much! Boo hoo..." The elderly woman cried as she lamented.

Xia Yu felt her heartache like needles pricking, and tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes.

Long Wu stood stiffly to the side, his neck rigid. He had always known—she was Meng Meng! Meng Meng had returned!

The old woman and Xia Yu wept bitterly, their anguish almost tangible. Even the nurse couldn’t help but wipe her eyes quietly as she said, "Mr. Long, the auntie’s current condition is precarious. She needs close care from her loved ones, or her illness will deteriorate further. Perhaps she might eventually forget everything someday!"

Long Wu nodded, "I know. You can leave now."

"Alright!" The nurse left the room.

Xia Yu hugged the frail old woman, sobbing until she could hardly catch her breath. She didn’t know why she had so many tears, but she couldn’t stop them from flowing.

Long Wu stood silently to the side, watching them. His eyes were misty. As long as she had returned, that was enough. He wouldn’t push her further now. Just being alive was all that mattered.

His phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw it was Li Si. She must be calling to ask for Xia Yu.

"Hello?"

Li Si’s voice came through on the other end. "Brother Wu, where are you? It’s so late, and you still haven’t sent Xia Yu back to me!"

"Are you with Leng Er?"

"Yeah! Stop changing the subject! What’s going on here? Even Mochen refused to tell me anything! Where is Xia Yu?"

"Alright. Let Leng Er take you to my place. I’m bringing them back now. See you shortly!" With that, he hung up.

Li Si stared at her phone, puzzled. "What’s with this ’them’? Who else? Could it be that Long Wu has three thousand beauties in his harem, and today’s the gathering?"

Leng Er, who was walking beside her, nearly tripped over himself hearing her comment. Her imagination truly knew no bounds.

When Li Si and Leng Mochen drove to Long Wu’s house, they happened to arrive just moments before his car pulled in.

Long Wu got out, Xia Yu cautiously helping the elderly woman out behind him. At the sight of Li Si approaching, Xia Yu felt more at ease, knowing at least she wouldn’t harm her.

"What’s going on here?" Li Si asked while glancing at the group. This scene was far removed from what she had envisioned.

Long Wu, his face lit with joy, said, "Come on inside; let’s talk!" He led Xia Yu and the old woman toward the house. Li Si and Leng Mochen exchanged a look, their mutual confusion evident.

Once inside the living room with its upholstered sofa, Li Si looked closely at the old woman, noticing her vacant eyes and apparent mental instability.

Pouring himself a glass of water, Long Wu downed it in one gulp. He turned around and asked, "Want some?"

They all shook their heads in unison as Li Si broke the silence. "Brother Wu, what on earth is going on?" In just half a day, so much had happened that she couldn’t keep up.

Long Wu glanced at Leng Mochen. "Leng Er, you’re suffering from amnesia, so you wouldn’t remember. Xia Yu is clearly Su Meng, who disappeared years ago. This elderly lady is her mother!"

"What?" Li Si found this hard to believe. She distinctly remembered Xia Yu had an ex-husband! However, as she studied the older and younger women’s faces, the similarities—nose and mouth, especially—were unmistakable.
