Chapter 1504 - 1521: How Could It Be Such a Coincidence
Lan Jinqin nodded.
Suddenly, she looked up again and grabbed the officer’s hand abruptly.
"Officer Huang, did you make a mistake? Check again, it must be an error! How could this be so coincidental?"
"Madam, I am also very sorry about this, but... this is indeed factual, and according to the investigation by the airport staff, Xia Xiaonuan’s name is definitely on the documents..."
"What did you say? She... what’s her name?"
"Xia Xiaonuan..."
Lan Jinqin instantly gaped in disbelief.
Xia Xiaonuan...
How could there be such a coincidence?
She couldn’t help but suddenly laugh out loud.
Her daughter had the same name as her daughter-in-law.
How pitiful, it’s been so many years, and she hadn’t known...
But how could that woman, Xia Xiaonuan, be compared to her daughter?
She was in no way worthy of that name!
Lan Jinqin thought secretly.
"Madam, are you... really alright?"
"No... I’m fine..."
Lan Jinqin stood up: "I have some matters to attend to, I’ll be going now... let’s get in touch later..."
"Okay... Madam, let me see you out..."
"No need." Lan Jinqin quickly waved her hand and walked out of the café somewhat disoriented.
She walked alone on the street, with a bustling crowd bumping into her from side to side, occasionally drawing glances from passersby; however, they left with puzzled looks.
Her demeanor was noble, dressed in luxurious and elegant clothing, with a single blue handbag costing over three hundred thousand, yet her gaze was always lost and hopeless, as if searching for something, or perhaps pleading for something, like a beggar longing for a stranger’s charity.
Her face was colorless, her well-maintained features suddenly looking several years older. She walked, swayed, with the officer’s words echoing endlessly in her mind.
She might already be dead...
Her mind felt like a village ravaged by a flood, revealing a reality of grim devastation only when the waters receded under the sunlight.
She barely managed to get out of the crowd, with the blazing sun beating down on her face. For years, every day was glorious, standing in the spotlight, like a dignified queen.
Yet no one knew that her heart had never been completely at ease or truly carefree.
She had tried to forget the flesh and blood she once abandoned, but every night in dreams, she seemed to hear the cries of a baby, knowing it was her child.
She had always missed her child.
But now... when she finally mustered the courage, and fate finally showed mercy to help her find her.
However, reality again gave her a resounding slap.
Lan Jinqin looked ashen, at the moment she heard Officer Huang state this fact, she felt her hands and feet go cold, even her entire body felt corpse-like cold.
She struggled to suppress her emotions, like a spring held down, all these years, pressing, pressing. She was tormented by her conscience and longing, tortured by inner pain.
Yet at this moment, she suddenly felt that spring snap with a "bang!"
She looked up at the sun, the dazzling light striking her face, causing her eyes to darken, seeing stars, she looked ahead and saw a big tree, instinctively reaching out her hand to lean towards it.
