Chapter 1041: Chapter 1035 Recognizing Relatives
"You, who are you?" Li Changlin looked at Fu Mandie bewilderedly and found her to be a kind noblewoman. He felt that she was very amicable and seemed familiar, as if he had met her somewhere before.
He shook his head forcefully. Li Changlin, no matter how hard he thought, had no recollection, but he knew his feelings wouldn’t deceive him. He must have met this woman somewhere; perhaps the memory had faded due to the passage of time.
"My name is Fu Mandie, and I am your mother," she said gently, looking at her son, her whole body trembling with excitement.
It had been twenty years, a full twenty years. Twenty years ago, she had been in repentance due to the disappearance of her second son and had turned to Buddhism shortly after, never expecting that twenty years later, she would see her son again.
At this moment, Fu Mandie was extremely excited.
Huang Yingjie, who was standing next to Li Changlin, was already stunned.
He naturally recognized Fu Mandie, and he had even once met Li Xiaoya.
She was a very beautiful girl but couldn’t practice martial arts due to her physical constitution, which was often ridiculed in the circle of the Ancient Martial Family to which she belonged.
Their Huang Family had been a vassal of the Li Family for nearly a hundred years.
However, due to the accidental death of Li Changning, the eldest grandson of the main house of the Li Family three years before, the Huang Family had begun to harbor thoughts of betrayal.
Even his older brother, Huang Yinghao, under the secret support of the high-ranking family members, had already begun to approach Cheng Hui of the Cheng Family, making it quite clear they chose the Cheng Family as their backup.
Regarding this matter, Huang Yingjie had always been worried.
Unlike those short-sighted members of his family, he knew that the Li Family, a first-class family, surely had other outstanding descendants even without the eldest grandson of the main house.
Now, hearing Li Xiaoya calling Li Changlin her second brother and Fu Mandie calling Li Changlin her son, Huang Yingjie suddenly realized how much Li Changlin indeed resembled Li Changning!
"Madam, you might have mistaken someone else for your own, my name is Li Changlin, that’s correct. However, my mother is Jiang Yiyun," Li Changlin felt really odd. Who were these people exactly, claiming that he was their son and her second brother? Why didn’t he feel repelled, but rather found it warm and familiar?
Li Changlin was full of doubts. Truly, anyone else in his shoes would probably feel similar to his current state of mind.
Anyone walking down the street would surely find it bizarre if someone suddenly approached them claiming to be their parent, just like how baffled Li Changlin felt right then!
However, Li Changlin was not an ordinary person. Though he was shocked, he eventually did not panic.
"I am not mistaken, you are my child. Twenty years ago, your father and I were in Nanfu Province for work. That day, I took you to the shopping mall to buy living essentials, but I accidentally lost you," Fu Mandie said, still feeling sad about the past. Just then, Li Changlin had pushed Li Xiaoya away, but the girl seemed to cling to him, wrapping her arms tightly around his, as if fearing that with a stretch of her hand, Li Changlin would fly away.
Actually, at that moment, Li Changlin truly harbored a thought of flying away.
Just then, suddenly a beeping noise from the System echoed in his mind, followed by Ling’er’s sweet voice,"Initiate new mission: Become the head of the Li Family. This mission is mandatory, cannot be rejected or deleted, successful completion will grant unexpected rewards!"
"Become the head of the Li Family?" Li Changlin paused slightly, wondering if the other party could be from the Capital Li Family, so he turned to look at Huang Yingjie.
Seemingly aware of what Li Changlin was thinking, Huang Yingjie quickly said softly, "Brother Changlin, they are from the Capital Li Family. The one walking over is the next Family Head of the Li Family, Li Chengde. He has a son named Li Changning who looks very much like you!"
"Li Changning?" Li Changlin paused again and then looked up at Li Chengde.
By this time, Li Chengde had walked up to Fu Mandie’s side. Sensing Li Changlin’s gaze, he looked up and said, "I am Li Chengde. If you are truly my son who has been missing for many years, then I am your father."
"Uh, aren’t you being a bit presumptive?" Li Changlin was somewhat speechless, but the situation was too bizarre. Even if he had accepted the System task, he still needed to ask his mother what exactly was going on.
"This is not a matter of being presumptive, but of speaking with facts." Li Chengde had come prepared. He stretched out his hand, and Li Ming immediately opened the document bag he was holding, took out a stack of photos, and respectfully handed them to Li Changlin.
Li Changlin received them with curiosity and looked down.
The people in these photos bore a strong resemblance to Li Changlin. He could tell at a glance that the photos were not edited, meaning they were all genuine.
He did not remember having taken any similar photos. Thus, the main character in these photos must be Li Changning, as Huang Yingjie had described.
If what Li Chengde and his people said was true, then this person in the photos could possibly be his elder brother.
Still, Li Changlin found it a bit hard to accept, though he was not resistant to becoming a member of the Li Family.
"Let me make a phone call first." Knowing he could only ask his mother about this matter, Li Changlin took out his cellphone and dialed Jiang Yiyun’s number.
Soon, the call connected. In fact, Li Changlin almost called his mother every week to ensure his safety and to inquire about his younger sister’s studies.
Jiang Yiyun, aside from Li Changlin, also had an adopted daughter named Qiu Yingying.
Qiu Yingying was said to be a doctor’s daughter. At that time, she had just been born not long ago, and Jiang Yiyun, who had just graduated from college, was employed by the Qiu Family as a nurse to take care of Yingying.
However, life is uncertain, and misfortune can strike at any moment. One day, Dr. Qiu and his wife went to the hospital for a check-up and were involved in a car accident on their way back. Both were seriously injured and eventually succumbed to their injuries.
Before his death, Dr. Qiu had requested Jiang Yiyun to look after his daughter and gave all his savings to Jiang Yiyun as a reward.
Li Changlin had heard about this from his mother when he was very young. Later, Jiang Yiyun used that money to pay for Li Changlin’s music academy fees, and she had seriously advised him that if he ever made it big, he must not forget his sister’s kindness, as everything he had was given by his sister.
The call connected, and a warm and familiar laugh came through, "Changlin, how are you adjusting to life in Shanghai City? Mom watched your show, you sang wonderfully, it was very pleasant to listen to. But Yingying said your cross-dressing made you look like a girl, even prettier than her!"
