Mr Fu, I Really Love You-Chapter 1429 - : Mother Doesn’t Know Daughter
Chapter 1429: Mother Doesn’t Know Daughter
Seeing the slight disbelief in Ye Qinghan’s eyes—
Su Manman said slowly, “Sister Mingzhu has always been good at it. Moreover, thanks to the tea making skills you taught her, she was able to stand out in the auditions for ‘The World.’ A stunt double didn’t do all the tea brewing scenes in ‘The World’… It was Sister Mingzhu herself. Everyone was clear about Sister Mingzhu’s tea brewing skills. You can check yourself to see if I’m lying.”
Ye Qinghan looked surprised and embarrassed. “That’s not what I meant!”
Su Manman smiled and didn’t mind.
“Actually, Sister Mingzhu had been practicing all the things you taught her when she was alone. She just felt that your life was too mundane and wanted to add some spice to your life. She said that… letting you teach her is also one way…”
With another identity, Su Manman sat opposite Ye Qinghan and recounted her thoughts.
Ye Qinghan lowered her head and looked at the clear liquid in the cup. Her throat was choked up as she picked up the teacup to take a sip. The taste was especially good, but she felt terrible.
She had never known her daughter was so good at tea brewing that she could teach the skills to such a good disciple.
The mother and daughter duo…
Indeed, a mother who didn’t know much about her daughter, and a daughter who knew so little about her mother.
Ye Qinghan closed her eyes and finished the cup of tea.
She put down her teacup and looked at Su Manman before saying slowly, “Actually, I know that Meng Yuqiao isn’t Mingzhu’s good friend. She has always avoided talking about Mingzhu, saying that it is all for my sake… she’s afraid that I’ll be upset!”
Ye Qinghan picked up the teapot and poured herself some tea.
After putting down the teapot, Ye Qinghan sat there elegantly. She looked at Su Manman and said, “But I have to admit that she gave me a lot of comforts after Mingzhu passed away, calming my desire to go with her.”
Su Manman clenched her fists on her knees.
She knew that her death would bring a huge blow to Ye Qinghan, but she hadn’t expected that a strong woman like Ye Qinghan would think of committing suicide because of her.
The desire to tell Ye Qinghan that she was Jiang Mingzhu almost suppressed her rationality.
However, Su Manman still managed to control herself.
To tell Ye Qinghan such a fantasy…
Would Ye Qinghan believe it?
Perhaps… she would treat herself as a lunatic and never see her again.
This was definitely not what Su Manman wanted.
“During that time, I treated Meng Yuqiao like a Mingzhu, a different Mingzhu. I taught her everything, and she’s more obedient than Mingzhu!” Ye Qinghan smiled, and her gaze became distant. “She’s the daughter I had always imagined to have. Sometimes… I even call her ‘Mingzhu’!”
Su Manman pursed her lips and remained silent.
Ye Qinghan retracted her gaze and looked at Su Manman. She smiled and said, “Meng Yuqiao told me to treat her like Mingzhu. She came to take care of me on behalf of Mingzhu.”
“But she’s not Sister Mingzhu…” Su Manman couldn’t help but remind her.
Ye Qinghan nodded and laughed self-mockingly. “Perhaps… I’m too lonely!”
Every word of Ye Qinghan could easily shatter Su Manman’s heart.
Her back was tense. She knew that she had to display her public image in front of Ye Qinghan. She couldn’t break it!
She was afraid that Ye Qinghan wouldn’t trust her.
“When Mingzhu was determined to enter the entertainment industry, I threatened that I would cut off all ties with her. Ever since then, apart from celebrating my birthday with me and visiting me on New Year’s Eve, bearing gifts, we never contacted each other at all!”
Su Manman swallowed a lump in her throat. Yes, it was because she didn’t dare to contact Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan was a stubborn person. She had convinced herself that even if she went back, Ye Qinghan wouldn’t let her in!
Ye Qinghan would never pick up the call.
“After Mingzhu passed away, I’ve been wondering if I hadn’t stopped her from entering the entertainment industry back then… Or perhaps, if I had lowered my stance and taken the initiative to contact her back then. Could it be that… we wouldn’t be separated by life and death when we met again?”
Ye Qinghan could no longer hold back her tears.
Su Manman took out a tissue and handed it to Ye Qinghan, her throat hurting terribly.
“Thank you…” Ye Qinghan took the tissue. She smiled as she thanked her, but her tears were still flowing.
“Sister Mingzhu, she didn’t have the courage to contact you…” Su Manman said softly.
Ye Qinghan smiled and shook her head. “It’s not that she didn’t have the courage, it’s just that she didn’t want to. She’s my daughter. I know how stubborn she is! Because I said I would cut off ties with her, she would never yield unless I lowered my head first.”
Su Manman’s heart felt numb from the pain…
So, in her mother’s heart, she had such a personality.
So that was how the mother and daughter thought of each other!
Clearly… they were the two closest people in the world, yet they didn’t understand each other at all.
No wonder… her mother was lonely!
No wonder… she had suffered in her past life.
Now that she thought about it, the mother and daughter… had never had a good heart-to-heart talk.
Her mother was a single parent, so she had always wanted to act tough and brave in front of her daughter!
She would rather show her wound to outsiders than let her daughter see her fragile side and worry about her…
Jiang Mingzhu was the same!
Because her mother was the only one she had in this world, she didn’t want her mother to worry about her. She wanted to only show her strong side to her.
She couldn’t let her mother discover her wounds!
She couldn’t let her mother see the weakness in her heart!
This stubborn and obstinate personality caused the closest pair in the world to be separated solely because of the word “understanding”.
She recalled how she had picked up the phone countless times, wanting to call Ye Qinghan, only to put it down again countless times!
She remembered driving over to her mother’s house, only to drive away again after seeing her mother’s silhouette from afar…
Whenever she felt aggrieved, she had always gone to where her mother often took her to when she was young.
Not that she had been waiting for her mother to lower her head first, but she really hadn’t had the courage to contact her!
She regretted it!
Why hadn’t she mustered the courage to go in when she had already been in front of the door?
So what if her mother rejected her? They were still connected by blood… Would her mother really not want her anymore?
Why hadn’t she just made the call? So what if her mother hung up? She could have just called her again!
It shouldn’t have mattered if her mother hung up once, twice, thrice, or even four times. Would she keep hanging up forever?
If her mother really didn’t want to answer her call, she would have changed her phone number long ago!
The most tragic thing in the world was to find out the truth after death.
Fortunately, the gods still pitied her. They allowed her soul to remain in this world.
It gave her the chance to sit opposite her mother and to truly listen.
“How many times have I picked up my phone to call her? How many times… how many times have I walked to Mingzhu’s apartment but didn’t dare to meet her? I didn’t dare to go up and knock on her door!” Ye Qinghan covered her eyes with a tissue and didn’t see Su Manman’s sad expression. “I was afraid that she would ask me why I looked for her when I was the one who said I’d cut off ties with her.”
Su Manman choked up.
