632 Old Story
Wu Mei saw that Chu Ning was listening and wiped her tears. “Actually, I made an agreement with her to keep this a secret, to not tell a third party about it. However, President Chu sponsored Wu Yi. It’s a kindness to our family. It’s best if we can help you.”

Following Wu Mei’s narration, Chu Ning finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that Wu Mei’s original name was Xing Lin. She had had a good relationship with her sister, Xing Fei, since they were young. Later on, they even went to university together. Xing Fei married a government official, while Xing Lin married a soldier.

The two of them became pregnant one after the other. When Xing Lin went to visit her husband when she was three months pregnant, Xing Fei was worried. She felt that she should be safe as she was five months pregnant, so she went with Xing Lin.

However, on the way back, they met a group of hooligans. Seeing that the two women were easy to bully, they wanted get some money out of them. In the end, Xing Lin had already used all the money she had to buy things for her husband. Xing Fei had handed over all she had, but the hooligans still felt that it was not enough.

The hooligans hit Xing Fei with their sticks. Xing Fei blocked Xing Lin from the blows and lost her child. She could no longer get pregnant. Xing Lin was so frightened that she had to stay in the hospital for several months before she could keep her child.

During that period of time, Xing Fei’s mental state deteriorated greatly. She cried every day with the clothes that she had prepared for her child. She was about to go blind from crying. Until Xing Lin gave birth to a pair of twin boys.

When Xing Fei saw one of the children, she hugged it tightly and refused to let go. She told everyone that this was her child. When Xing Lin saw her sister breaking down, she almost drowned with guilt. Because her sister had suffered this disaster as a result of wanting to accompany her, she hardened her heart and gave the child to her sister. Then, she moved with the other child and changed her name to Wu Mei. She never returned to M City again.

Chu Ning was suddenly enlightened. “Now that you know that your sister has been searching so long for you, do you want to go back?”

Wu Mei choked and shook her head. “What’s the use of returning? I don’t know if she has recovered from her illness. It will be bad if I appear and agitate her again.”

Chu Ning looked at her. “But she’s been looking for you for almost forty years. I heard that this matter has become a sore point for her.”

Wu Mei wavered. The guilt in her heart had been tormenting her all these years. Moreover, she had lost her husband in her middle age and her son in her later years. The child that she had given away at birth had become a knot in her heart. She wanted to see this child so much.

Seeing Wu Mei’s hesitation, Chu Ning suggested, “How about this? I can help you ask your sister. If she misses you and wants to see you, I’ll call you.”

Wu Mei wanted to say something but held back. Chu Ning continued, “If she doesn’t want to see you, the sponsorship will still not end. I will sponsor Wu Yi until she goes to university and then let her work in my company. Is that okay?”

Wu Mei thought that her tears had long dried up, but she could not stop them that night. She kept bowing to Chu Ning. “Thank you, thank you, President Chu. I’m really grateful.”

Wu Yi supported her grandmother at the side, tears streaming down her face.

After that, Chu Ning left. After all, Wu Yi hadn’t yet done her homework, so she didn’t want to disturb her.
After leaving, she returned to the hotel. At the hotel lobby, Chu Ning looked at Yan Shen. “Thank you for being willing to accompany me.”

Yan Shen had not uttered a single word the entire night. He returned her gaze. “You’re welcome. Are you going back to M City?”

Chu Ning touched her face, embarrassed. “Yes, I thought it would take a few more days. I didn’t expect everything to go so smoothly and so quickly.”

“Isn’t it good that it went smoothly?” Yan Shen smiled.

Chu Ning looked at him worriedly. “It’s good, but won’t I be leaving you alone when I return to M City?”

Yan Shen shook his head. “I’ll go back to M City with you. It’s not much fun here anyway.”

“I’m sorry, Yan Shen. I originally said I’d accompany you, but in the end…” Chu Ning felt even worse.

Yan Shen interrupted her. “It’s fine. It’s good enough that you can accompany me. As for coming out to have fun, there will still be opportunities in the future.” He was silently thinking to himself, “I hope there will be other chances in future.”

Chu Ning didn’t say anything else after hearing his words. She entered the hotel helplessly. When she returned to her room, Chu Ning was anxious to return to M City. However, when she thought of Yan Shen, she felt as if there was a weight pressing down on her.

She shook her head and shook all the nonsense from her mind. She thought about how to tell Minister Niu about this when she returned to M City.
