《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 195: Reborn
Advertisement
Wu Mei signaled for Li Nanchen to leave first, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.
She got up and poured a cup of warm water for Mother Wu. She then carried a stool over and sat by the bed. She tried her best to speak in a relaxed tone, "I'm your daughter."
Mother Wu was so shocked that she choked. When she saw her aged appearance reflected in the full-length mirror, she caressed her face in disbelief.
"How can that be? I don't remember..."
Wu Mei held her hands and smiled comfortingly as she said softly, "When you were young, you met someone you loved and quickly married him and had a daughter with him. But no one expected him to be a scumbag. Your life after you got married wasn't good."
"Fortunately, you gave birth to a daughter, me."
"Previously, you fell ill and slept for a few days. Perhaps you subconsciously didn't want to recall that painful experience, so you don't remember."
"But everything is fine now. Don't worry, I'll take care of you."
Wu Mei briefly described what had happened. Mother Wu's eyes gradually became clear. She looked at the girl in front of her who looked somewhat like her when she was young. Her initial suspicion turned to trust before she slowly accepted reality.
When Mother Wu regained consciousness, she felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart the moment she saw Wu Mei.
Perhaps this is the attraction of blood relations?
The cup of water in Mother Wu's hand emitted a warm temperature and she felt her heart warm up.
After waiting for a while, just when Wu Mei thought that Mother Wu still couldn't accept it, Mother Wu raised her hand and tucked a stray hair behind Wu Mei's ear. Her eyes were filled with heartache as she asked, "Have you suffered a lot all these years?"

"Based on what you said, he should be terrible to you as well."
Mother Wu lowered her eyes guiltily. She couldn't remember who her husband was at all, nor could she remember any of the past. "If it weren't for me, you might have been able to live a better life without having to carry a burden all the time."
"I'm the one who caused you trouble..."
Wu Mei leaned her head against Mother Wu's chest and wrapped her arms around Mother Wu's body as she said softly, "Mom, don't say that."
"You're the one who gave me life and brought me into this world. How can you be considered troublesome? It's sweet and blissful to have Mom by my side."
Wu Mei's brows knitted together as memories of the past flashed across her mind. The familial warmth filled the empty space in her heart. She sighed lightly and felt at ease.
At the door, Li Nanchen wanted to eavesdrop on the situation in the room, but there was no sound. Nervously and worriedly, he pushed open a small crack in the door to check. However, he happened to meet Mother Wu's gaze. He could only straighten his clothes and nod as he said, "Hello."
"Who are you?"
Mother Wu's eyes wandered between him and Wu Mei. Li Nanchen cleared his throat awkwardly and replied respectfully and seriously, "I'm Wu Mei's husband. This place is..."
"It's ex-husband," Wu Mei sternly corrected Li Nanchen. Hearing her reminder, Li Nanchen stared at her unhappily.
Is she trying to cut ties with me in front of Mother Wu?
Countless questions surged in Li Nanchen's heart. He wanted nothing more than to bring Wu Mei into the room and ask her about it. Mother Wu sensed the complicated relationship between both of them, so she pursed her red lips and stopped asking.
Wu Mei's phone suddenly rang. When she saw the screen, she stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call, "What's the matter? You're that anxious?"
Wu Pang could not hold in his excitement as he urged, "Has the hypnotist already treated her?"
"When will the ceremony of handing over the Wu Corporation to me take place?"

Foreshadow
It's was already over 200 years since the last Supernatural War. Due to the use of technology against humanity, it created a psychological trauma that leads to the slow advancement of technology. Throughout the years, the world was unbelievably silent and in peace. Many believed that the pact signed by humanity and Supernatural Species kept the two opposing forces on watch. Some thought that both sides are brewing something and kept their cards hidden. Even the rumors told that the peace wouldn't last long and the war would break out in a few years. Who would know the future and things it would tell. Maybe the war would break out of nowhere or the world would remain at ease.---Note:First, I don't own the picture and credits to its rightful owner. Second, English isn't my native language. So before hand, sorry for the wrong grammar, misspelled words and the redundancies. Last, enjoy! --- Hiatus for the meantime while I'm retyping/reediting the first ARC. Thank YOU!
