Chapter 116 The stray kitten finally has a mother and a home again.
By this time, Yan Wenyu had recovered and made a sound, "Hmm."
Jiang Liwu lowered her head and carefully separated the fruit peel from the flesh, her focus intense. The apple she peeled was beautiful. Yan Wenyu watched her intently, his eyes glued to her, even though his eyes were sore and dry. He couldn't bear to close them, his eyes filled with greed and madness.
When Jiang Liwu handed him a piece of apple, his Adam's apple bobbed. After taking it, he finally mustered up his courage, looked into Jiang Liwu's eyes nervously, and said, "You might not believe it, but you are the reincarnation of my stepmother." Yan Wenyu's face was serious and earnest.
Jiang Liwu paused in her act of stuffing an apple into her mouth, then looked over in surprise. She chewed a large, juicy piece of apple, puffing it into her cheeks, her cheeks heaving.
Seeing her seemingly disbelieving look, Yan Wenyu immediately became anxious. "It's true, I'm not lying to you. My stepmother left me when I was six years old. Your name and hers only differ by one character, which is the 'Li' in 'dawn.' Apart from that, your appearance, age, birthday, voice, mannerisms, and even your eyes are exactly the same. I don't believe that anyone in this world can look so much like her. There's only one explanation: you are her, you are her reincarnation."
Jiang Liwu rested her chin on her hand and looked at him leisurely, "Since you're a reincarnation, aren't you afraid your soul will be different?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenyu was taken aback, then pursed his lips and affirmed, "It's the same, I can feel it."
Jiang Liwu blinked. "Aren't you afraid of mistaking someone for someone else?"
He hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's only my stepmother. I would never mistake her. I can tell at a glance whether she's real or fake." Yan Wenyu's eyes were gentle and affectionate.
Jiang Liwu's lips curled up to one side as she looked at Yan Wenyu's tense yet expectant and sincere appearance, and suddenly burst out laughing.
When Yan Wenyu saw that her two rows of pearly teeth were showing, she laughed so hard that she bent over, her whole body shaking. He blushed instantly. He felt embarrassed and flustered. Afraid that Jiang Liwu would laugh so hard that she would move off the stool, Yan Wenyu silently protected her with one hand.
Indeed, it sounds absurd for a man several years older than her to say that she is his stepmother or reincarnation. Moreover, the term "stepmother" has another meaning for many people, such as a father's concubine, a second wife, or a stepmother.
But he really didn't mean it that way. He called his stepmother because he loved and respected her from the bottom of his heart. He cherished her and was attached to her. With his stepmother there, he felt at home.
Yan Wenyu's eyes were soft and adorable, her thick, long eyelashes drooping slightly. She insisted, but murmured weakly, "It's true, I'm not joking. You really are my stepmother, even if you don't remember anything, you still are..."
"If you're not used to me calling you that, I can call you 'sister'..."
Jiang Liwu's eyes lit up, her interest piqued. She raised an eyebrow. "Really? You'll call me 'sister'?"
Yan Wenyu nodded shyly.
"Then call me 'sister' a few times and let me hear it," Jiang Liwu said with a smile.
"Sister, Sister Wuwu, Sister Wu, Little Sister Wu..." Yan Wenyu obediently called out, his pale and handsome face turning as red as if stained with rouge, and his ears burning hot and numb.
Jiang Liwu was satisfied with what she heard. She mischievously waved her phone and said, "Okay, I recorded it. I'll listen to it whenever I have time."
Yan Wenyu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and couldn't do anything to stop it, so he could only blush all over.
Especially when Jiang Liwu said, "Is it possible that I'm not some reincarnation, but your stepmother?" he opened his red eyes wide as if in a dream, looking soft and pitiful, completely like someone who had been bullied.
Jiang Liwu couldn't help but pinch his face, like pinching a plush toy. "Oh my, our little Yuyu has grown up to be so cute. Is it possible that I didn't lose my memory at all?" Not only did she not lose her memory, she was the one who still had all the memories. She had all the memories that her eldest son and Shang Tingyan didn't have. She carried all these memories on her own.
After being overwhelmed with shyness, Yan Wenyu was filled with boundless joy, and he was so excited that he was about to cry again, "Stepmother...you really remember everything?"
Jiang Liwu rubbed his head and said the same words she had said to Yan Wenyu twenty years ago, "Xiao Yu, be happy."
Yan Wenyu shuddered and trembled uncontrollably. He was completely certain that it was true. Tears streamed down his face. Yan Wenyu cried like a child, crying very softly and still being incredibly well-behaved.
"Stepmother."
"Yes, there's no such thing as reincarnation. Xiao Yu, I originally belonged to this world; I just came back." Jiang Liwu gently and carefully wiped away his tears.
"You're back. Will you never leave again?" Yan Wenyu reached out and grasped the snow-white wrist of the person in front of him, gradually tightening his grip.
"I won't leave. I live under the same sky as you."
"Xiao Yu, you're going to cry like a little kitten."
Jiang Liwu was standing, and Yan Wenyu buried his head in her arms, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. His voice was hoarse as he choked back sobs, "Stepmother, I'm crying because I'm happy, but I've broken my promise every single day for the past twenty years. I'm not happy at all. I hate myself, I hate this world, I hate everyone and everything in this world. I miss you so much, I really, really miss you. Twenty years ago was a nightmare, I was so scared. Now the nightmare is finally over. I promise you, from now on I will be happy every single day, really. I will live well, and I will like this world a little more each day." Because the stray, gray kitten finally had a mother again, a home.
Xiang Rui and Yan Wenyu were alone for a long time before coming in. Yan Wenyu had stopped crying, but her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyelashes were wet. It was obvious what had just happened. Xiang Rui stammered, "Yu, Brother Yu, the police have Tian Zhixia's address information. I've handed the video over to the police and reported it to the police. They're charging her with disturbing public order. This time, they should be able to detain her for a few more days. If she continues to escape, the punishment will be more severe, and she could stay in there even longer."
Xiang Rui is Yan Wenyu's personal assistant, and he should be informed about Yan Wenyu's relationship with Jiang Liwu.
When Xiang Rui learned that the two were family, she was surprised and couldn't help but say, "Sister Wu, so you really are my sister."
Yan Wenyu glanced at Xiang Rui but didn't say anything.
Xiang Rui calls her "sister," while he calls her "stepmother."
Yan Wenyu changed his profile picture to a bright, smiling face and changed his name to "Yu Wants to Be Happy Every Day," and even posted about it on his WeChat Moments.
This post on WeChat Moments was like some kind of tacitly encrypted message, instantly making Fu Siyue, Wei Xifeng, and Si Mocheng realize that he had not only met Jiang Liwu but also recognized her.
