Hearing that, Yu Lili held her breath and looked at Ou Ming in disbelief. “You found her?”

Twenty-five years ago, the surroundings of the orphanage weren’t installed with close-circuit monitoring devices the way the now were.

It would have been really hard to find the identity of the person who abandoned a baby, especially if the baby had been abandoned without any eyewitnesses around.

The difficulty of such an undertaking was indescribable. Yet, Ou Ming had managed to do it.

“Yeah. I found her.” Ou Ming reached out and gently stroked her cheek, “She’s getting along very well.”

“Is she the woman who gave birth to me?” Yu Lili asked.

In other words, was it her mother? Was that her mommy?

The word “mommy” and the idea of a “mom” had always been beyond reach for Yu Lili. Throughout her entire life, she had never uttered those words. She had thought that that person was long dead. Now, Ou Ming had managed to find her.

He could obviously tell the emotional effect the news had on Yu Lili. He stroked her head gently with his huge hand and said, “Yes. However, she is not your mother.”

“How can that be? Since she gave birth to me, if she isn’t my mother? Who is she?” Yu Lili was a little emotional, so her voice rose.

“Shhh.” Ou Ming pointed toward the taxi driver. “Don’t get worked up. Let me explain it to you.”

“Go ahead!” Although that’s what Yu Lili said, it was clear that she wasn’t calm at all. She held on tightly to Ou Ming hand with both hands, revealing how nervous she was really feeling.

“She was the woman who gave birth to you, but she isn’t your biological mother. She has no blood relation to you whatsoever,” Ou Ming said.

“What do you mean?” Yu Lili couldn’t comprehend the situation. “How was is that possible...”

“She was a surrogate mother. Years ago, she gave birth to you on behalf of someone else. In other words, she had only lent her womb to your biological mother and was helping your mother give birth to you,” Ou Ming said.

“Surrogacy? Isn’t that illegal?” Yu Lili asked.

“It wasn’t back then.” Ou Ming tapped her on her forehead. “As for the details of what exactly happened, that woman refused to say. She wants you to meet her personally.”

“She wants me to meet her? Where is she now?” Yu Lili asked.

“In F County. She is now the mother of two children who are both older than you. You were her last child. Years back, after giving birth to you, your biological mother didn’t come for you. Given the woman’s situation then, she couldn’t afford to care for a newborn baby who wasn’t even a month old.” Ou Ming combed through her hair with his hand. “Winter was very cold that year. Furthermore, F County was only a small village. There were originally three children, but one froze to death.”

So, that was why she had been abandoned? In the year that she had been born, it had indeed been a very harsh winter.

Yu Lili had survived the heaviest snowfall that the village had seen in many years.

“What about my biological father? Where are they?” Yu Lili could identify the emotions that were coursing through her. She felt pain, sadness, and a little hope.

What was she hoping for? It had been so many years. Throughout all these years, her biological parents had never appeared, brought her up, or fed her a sip of milk.

She had grown up all on her own. What difference did it now make whether or not they showed up?

Yet, here she was, still hoping for them. She hoped for parents. She hoped to be like others and have parents who could spoil her, love her, and give her a family. She didn’t want to remain so pitiful.
