Chapter 546: 125: Mother-Daughter_1

So alike!

It’s really uncanny.

At that moment, Fang Youling was completely dumbfounded.

She couldn’t even react properly.

Looking at this child, the similarities with her Qiushui were striking.

Though excited, Fang Youling tried to calm herself in absence of a paternity test, and mustered a slight smile.

Grandma Lu cheerfully said, "Not late at all, we’re the ones who arrived early."

As she finished speaking, Grandma Lu continued, "Guixiang, let me introduce you, this is my old friend Fang Youling, just call her Aunt Fang."

Upon seeing Fang Youling, Lin Guixiang was also stunned.

It was her first time meeting this elderly woman.

Yet she inexplicably felt familiarity.

A very strange feeling.

As if they had met somewhere before.

And furthermore.

Even though it was her first time hearing the name Fang Youling, the name swiftly flitted through Lin Guixiang’s mind.

Quickly gathering her thoughts, Lin Guixiang took the initiative to shake hands with Fang Youling, "Aunt Fang, hello, I’m Lin Guixiang."

Lin Guixiang?

Fang Youling narrowed her eyes and then asked, "Is it ’Lin’ as in the double wood character ’lin’?"

"Yes," Lin Guixiang nodded in confirmation.

Fang Youling asked again, "Your hometown... is it Lin City Town?"

At those words, Lin Guixiang replied in surprise, "How did you know?"

In that instant.

The hopeful look in Fang Youling’s eyes vanished in a flash.

She thought.

She knew why Lin Guixiang felt familiar.

Because.

Eighteen years ago, she had seen Lin Guixiang once in Qing City.

At that time.

She was overwhelmed with excitement, convinced that the girl in front of her was her long-lost daughter.

Even without the birthmark on Lin Guixiang’s arm, she didn’t harbor any doubts.

She wanted so badly to immediately take Lin Guixiang home to raise.

But the results of the paternity test later dashed her hopes.

Their biological relationship comparison was zero.

Upon seeing the paternity test result, Fang Youling felt as if the sky had fallen; she cried bitterly, and, not giving up, she took a second paternity test with Lin Guixiang, but the result was the same.

She wasn’t her Qiushui.

Left with no choice, Fang Youling broached the idea of adopting Lin Guixiang with her family.

Because she looked so much like her daughter!

So similar that they could be mistaken for each other.

It was a very strange feeling!

On her journey to find her child, Fang Youling had met many people.

Naturally, among them were some who resembled her daughter.

But never had there been someone who made Fang Youling feel such a strong desire to take them as a goddaughter.

It just so happened that Lin Guixiang had also lost her parents.

The adoption was close to being a done deal.

However, a remark by Fang Hongyu abruptly brought Fang Youling back to reality.

Fang Hongyu had said that if she were Tang Qiushui and came back to find that her mother had raised someone else in her place, she would have preferred her mother never found her!

Since then, Fang Youling never again entertained the idea of taking a goddaughter or adopting a daughter.

Fang Youling swiftly pulled her thoughts back from the past and looked at Lin Guixiang with a smile, saying, "I have relatives from Lin City Town, and when I heard your accent, it sounded like Lin City’s, so I just casually asked. I didn’t expect it to be true."

Hearing this, Grandma Lu was taken aback; she didn’t know that Fang Youling had relatives from Lin City.

Lin Guixiang nodded, "Oh, I see."

"Yes."

Grandma Lu passed the menu to Lin Guixiang, "Guixiang, order whatever you fancy! By the way, why didn’t Xiao Wu come today?"

"Xiao Wu was a bit busy today," Lin Guixiang replied.

Grandma Lu said with a laugh, "I was actually hoping to introduce Xiao Wu to my old friend today!"

As she spoke, Grandma Lu seemed to remember something, turned to look at Lin Guixiang, and continued, "Guixiang, you don’t mind that I brought an extra person today, do you?"

"Not at all," Lin Guixiang said in a very gentle voice, her smile brimming, "In fact, the moment I saw Aunt Fang, I felt this indescribable sense of kinship."

"Really?" Grandma Lu asked in surprise.

They say there’s a special bond between mother and daughter...

Could Lin Guixiang truly be Tang Qiushui?

Is her old friend about to fulfill her years-long wish?

It was at this moment, Grandma Lu suddenly recalled the fortune she and Fang Youling had drawn together at the temple.

The slip had said that finding Fang Youling’s daughter was simple.

She just lacked a benefactor.

Could she be that benefactor?

Upon this realization, Grandma Lu was immensely excited.

Lin Guixiang nodded, "Yes, truly."

Even though she felt that bond with Grandma Lu as well, it wasn’t as strong as when she saw Fang Youling.

Grandma Lu, smiling, said, "Then you two really are fated! Guixiang, quickly see what desserts you’d like. The pastries here are made fresh daily, and they’re really good!"
