Chapter 257 Appears Again
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and finally asked something useful.
She patiently said to the old woman, "Old lady, my last name is Su, not Li, so I am not your daughter. You have recognized the wrong person. This is not your home. You have come to the wrong place. Please think carefully. Where is your home? Is it the Li family in Linzhou Prefecture? I will send someone to notify your family and take you back!"
She didn't know much about Linzhou Prefecture and really didn't know how many Li families there were in Linzhou Prefecture. She needed to send more people to inquire.
Just as she was thinking about the plan, the old woman suddenly burst into tears.
"You...you don't want me anymore? You even changed your last name just to get rid of me. You...you are such a traitor!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the old woman crying so aggrievedly and was at a loss for a moment.
"Old man, please don't cry!"
"You don't want me anymore, how can I not cry!"
"No, no, no, I don't want you!"
The old woman raised her head and asked expectantly, "So you admit that you are my daughter?"
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Yes, yes, I admit, I was just joking with you!"
Seeing this, the old woman stopped crying.
Su Xiaoxiao wiped away the tears from the corners of the old woman's eyes with a handkerchief.
She sighed in her heart.
I can't get anything out of asking directly, so I can only pretend to be the old woman's daughter and see if I can get some useful information.
"Do you remember what color I like?"
"Of course I remember. You like white. You said white can be transformed into a thousand colors and is the root of all colors. And you also like cleanliness."
When the old woman talked about her daughter's hobbies, her cloudy eyes were filled with light.
It feels like being in a white ocean.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask: "Then am I married? Do I have children?"
"Yes, you married Gu Gaoxuan and gave birth to a lovely daughter. It's a pity..."
The old woman thought of the sad thing, and her bright eyes dimmed again.
"what happened?"
"Not long after you gave birth to your daughter, you died of illness!"
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao felt even more sympathetic towards the old woman.
No wonder the old woman mistook her for her daughter. It turned out that the old woman’s daughter had died of illness many years ago.
The two spent the whole morning together and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
It was almost time for lunch when Su Xiaoxiao asked the old woman.
"What would you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it?"
The old woman looked at Su Xiaoxiao in a daze for a moment and did not answer.
Su Xiaoxiao asked again tentatively: "Old man?"
The old woman came to her senses.
"Oh, I remember now, I remember now, thank you, little girl!"
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Is the old man no longer confused?
The old woman smiled and stood up, saying, "This is an old problem of mine. I'm really sorry to bother you so much."
Seeing the old woman was about to leave, Su Xiaoxiao also stood up.
"Old man, do you remember where you live? Shall I send someone to take you back?"
"No, no, I may be confused sometimes, but I'm still pretty strong. You don't need to send me off! I'll be going home first."
After the old woman finished speaking, she left Youlan Garden.
After making sure that no one was following her, the old woman came to an alley.
There was a sedan chair parked in the alley.
When Nanny Shen saw Madam Du Meidu coming over, she hurried forward to greet her.
"How is the old lady?"
"This child looks like my Manhui no matter how you look at her."
As they were talking, the two came to the sedan chair. Nanny Shen lifted the curtain and Du Mei sat in it.
She just pretended to be a confused old lady just to test Su Xiaoxiao.
As she expected, Su Xiaoxiao is a kind-hearted child.
Not only does she look like her daughter Li Manhui, but some of her behaviors and expressions are also similar.
During her interactions with Su Xiaoxiao, she became dazed many times, as if the woman in front of her was her daughter who had died many years ago.
How nice it would be if my daughter were still alive!
It is also impossible to give birth to only one Gu Feiyao.
After returning to her residence, Du Mei was still in a bad mood.
For some reason, she wanted to go see Su Xiaoxiao again.
The next day, she appeared at the door of Youlan Garden again, carrying a food box.
The doorman recognized Du Mei as the old lady from yesterday. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here again today? Did you get the wrong place again?"
Du Mei raised the corners of her mouth and looked calm.
"I'm not confused today. I'm very clear. I came here specifically to thank your master. May I ask if your master is here?"
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, old man. I will report it right away!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran were just about to go out when they heard the doorman report and they looked at each other.
"Why does this old lady come to you again?"
Su Xiaoxiao shrugged. "I don't know either! But he should be either rich or noble. We don't want to offend him. If we can get to know him, maybe it will be helpful to our business in the future!"
Xiao Ran nodded. As long as the old lady was not in danger, nothing else mattered.
"My wife is thinking about the long term. If that's the case, then you should stay and accompany the old lady. I'm going to the shop first!"
"Okay, go ahead!"
Du Mei waited at the door for a while and saw the doorman come back.
"My master invites you, old man, please follow me."
Du Mei nodded slightly, and the doorman helped carry the food box and walked in front to lead the way for Du Mei.
When we arrived at the flower hall, Su Xiaoxiao greeted us with a smile.
"Old man, why are you here?"
The doorman put down the food box, bowed to Su Xiaoxiao, and left.
Du Mei stepped forward, shook Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and thanked her, "I came here today to thank you!"
"What's there to thank me for? It's just a trivial matter!"
"No, no, no, you treated me to delicious food yesterday, so I naturally have to return the favor today. I also brought you some food."
"Really?"
"Of course, open it and take a look. I wonder if you like it?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and opened the lunch box directly.
The food box is filled with various beautifully shaped pastries.
"These pastries are my daughter's favorite. I haven't made them for many years, so I made some myself today. Do you want to try them? How do they taste?"
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little honored.
"Oh, how could I deserve to let the old man make cakes by himself!"
"What's the big deal? If you like it, I'll make it for you later!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
"You're welcome, eat!"
Su Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up.
"Yeah, delicious, so delicious!"
"like?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, I like it!"
"That's good!"
Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's satisfied face, just like Li Manhui back then, Du Mei suddenly became dazed.
She subconsciously reached out to touch Su Xiaoxiao's face.
Su Xiaoxiao instinctively dodged back a bit, but when she saw Du Mei's eyes shaking with tears, she moved her face closer.
She knew that the old man missed his daughter.
When Du Mei touched Su Xiaoxiao's real face, the moisture in her eyes instantly filled up and rolled down her aging face.
