It was secretly snapped? What sort of photo would require Ou Ming to have to snap a shot of it secretly?

Yu Lili looked down instinctively at the screen on Ou Ming’s phone. The person displayed on it could very possibly be her mother.

This was the mother who had left her in the care of another woman. This was the mother who had been willing to spend a huge amount of money to hire a surrogate but had disappeared without a trace when she was born.

Ou Ming’s finger made a few swipes on the screen and immediately picked out the photograph. From the color, one could tell that the photo had been taken from a bygone era and was probably a few decades old. Because the photo had been secretly taken, it was a little blurry. However, the general outlines were still visible.

Yu Lili was in shock when she saw the photograph. She looked at Ou Ming in disbelief. “You suspect that it’s her? How is that even possible?”

It was the old photograph that had been hidden in the deepest compartment of Wen Fenglin’s wallet. It was Xian’er.

Ou Ming pinched her hand as a signal for her to calm down. He positioned the phone screen in front of the woman as he asked, “Is this her?”

The middle-aged lady looked at the photograph and was visibly astonished. She quickly replied, “It should be...”

“Is it or isn’t it? Please be a little more definite,” Ou Ming said.

“It is,” the woman declared. “It should be her.”

“Should?” Ou Ming’s brows creased together. He began to feel that this woman wasn’t exactly reliable.

“It’s her. It’s definitely her, Mom. I remember this lady too. She frequently brought candy for us when she came. All of us siblings liked her very much. I’m very sure it is this lady. There is no mistake,” the young man at the side announced confidently.

With her son’s encouragement, the woman confidently nodded her head and agreed. “Yes. It’s definitely her. I remember that it was her. This is your mother!”

Yu Lili’s heartbeat sped up in that moment. She looked at them and began to find the situation hilarious. “You aren’t sure at all! You’re just spouting nonsense!”

“Why would I?” the woman asked. “I gain nothing from doing something like that, Child! This is your mother. It was she who came to me looking for a surrogate.”

“Then, tell me this. What was her name?” Yu Lili’s tone was extremely discourteous. She clearly didn’t believe this woman. “I’ll believe you if you’re able to tell me her name.”

The expression on the woman’s face turned dark, but she tried to recall, nonetheless. She replied, “She never mentioned her name, and she never told me what it was. She only wrote it on the contract, but I’m illiterate. I couldn’t tell what she wrote.”

“Where’s the contract?” Yu Lili questioned.

“It was ruined by the children long ago, and thrown away...”

Yu Lili burst out laughing when she heard that.

The woman began to panic when she saw Yu Lili’s reaction and said, “Although I don’t know what her name was, I know her family name was Chi! It’s spelled C-H-I!

Her family name was Chi. Yu Lili pursed her lips. Her expression was thunderous. Individuals with the family name of Chi were indeed not many. To investigate and find them was just as difficult.

“Didn’t you say that you were illiterate? How would you know it was spelled C-H-I?” Yu Lili asked.

The woman began to get agitated when she saw how she was being doubted. She threw courtesy to the wind and retorted, “That’s because she told me so! When she introduced herself, she said, ‘I’m Miss Chi. It’s spelled C-H-I!’”

Yu Lili looked at Ou Ming and asked, “Do you know what her family name was?”

Ou Ming hadn’t said a word since the beginning. His eyes were meaningful and shining unusually bright. He looked deeply into Yu Lili’s eyes and said gently, “Her name was Chi Xian.”

That name bombarded straight into Yu Lili’s heart. Her mind went blank.
