Chapter 445: Chapter 445 She Has a Common Face

Pei Ling looked at Lin Qian, lightly biting her lip, with something flickering in her eyes.

"Sister, you look like someone I know."

Someone she knows?

Lin Qian paused for a moment, turned to look at Pei Ling, and smiled, "Really? I guess I have a common face!"

"No, you really look a lot like her! If you two stood together, people might think you’re mother and daughter."

Pei Ling looked at Lin Qian seriously.

Lin Qian’s heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably thought of something.

"Really? Then what’s her name? Is it Chen Xiaoman?"

Could it be that Pei Ling knows her mother, Chen Xiaoman?

"No, she’s not called Chen Xiaoman."

Pei Ling shook her head and lowered her gaze slightly.

Disappointment flashed through Lin Qian’s eyes.

So it’s not her mother?

Well, there are plenty of people in the world who look similar, she was just too sensitive.

"Oh, okay, what’s your relationship with her?"

Feeling a bit idle, Lin Qian casually asked.

Pei Ling’s big almond eyes flickered, a trace of conflict appearing on her collagen-rich face.

"She’s the woman my dad keeps outside."

Lin Qian: "..."

What a relationship!

So, that woman who resembles Lin Qian is Pei Ling’s dad’s mistress?

Lin Qian smiled awkwardly, "Well, you must really dislike her, right?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Ling bit her lip and said softly, "Yes, I shouldn’t like her, but she is really nice. She’s not the type of woman who schemingly tries to steal men; she lives freely and can do anything. She speaks several languages, can seduce, does design work, and knows music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She’s the most elegant and talented woman I’ve ever seen, no wonder my dad is attracted to her, even though she’s nearly ten years older than him."

Lin Qian: "..."

An older woman with a younger man!

She sounded like a very sophisticated woman.

Lin Qian felt an inexplicable curiosity, unsure of where it came from.

Perhaps because Pei Ling said she resembles her?

"Because of her, my dad refused to marry my mom, even though my mom was pregnant with me, he wouldn’t marry her. My dad is really stubborn, after my mom gave birth to me, he only acknowledged me but not my mom."

Pei Ling continued talking, surprising Lin Qian.

"Why? Just because of that woman?"

"Not entirely."

Pei Ling shook her head, "My mom was just the daughter of my dad’s housekeeper, and I was conceived because my mom schemed while my dad was drunk. So my dad has always been cold towards my mom."

So that’s how it is.

Pei Ling’s dad seems to be a man who understands life well.

Prefer to be selective and not settle for anything less in marriage.

Rather be alone than live against his will.

Such a man is both deeply passionate and emotionally detached.

"My dad has always been cold to my mom, and my mom gradually became mentally unstable. She blamed all her grievances on that woman and later found a chance to have her sold off."

Perhaps finding someone to confide in, Pei Ling spoke again, a slight mocking smile at her lips.

"Maybe it’s karma, look, my mom probably didn’t expect that karma would fall upon her daughter; I was also kidnapped."

Sold off?

Lin Qian was stunned, unable to describe her feelings.

There was some sympathy and pity for the woman she had never met.

"And then? That woman never appeared again?"

"No, my dad went to great lengths to find her back, then he sent my mom abroad and severed their mother-daughter relationship. I grew up with that woman."

Pei Ling pursed her lips and looked at Lin Qian, "Sister, do you think I should hate her?"

Should she hate her?

Lin Qian somewhat understood Pei Ling’s feelings.

That woman caused the separation between her and her real mother, she shouldn’t really be close to her.

But she also admires that woman deeply, and over the years perhaps became more attached to her than her biological mother.

Such conflicting emotions are indeed hard for a young girl to navigate.

"Actually, you have the answer in your heart, right?"

Pei Ling’s eyes were very clear.

She believes the young girl is not without discernment.

It sounds like that woman wasn’t at fault.

She didn’t destroy anyone’s family.

"I don’t know, sister."

Pei Ling sighed, sat on a small stool nearby, rested her chin on her hand, and said, "That woman saved my dad’s life and treated me very well since childhood. I love asking her questions, and she always answers fully and frankly. But she is not my biological mother. A few days ago, my mom secretly contacted me, asking me to meet her, but I’m afraid my dad wouldn’t agree, so I asked her to plead for me. She refused, so in a fit of anger, I ran out, and unexpectedly..."

Unexpectedly fell into the hands of human traffickers.

She should hate that woman, but she.....

Listening to Pei Ling’s murmuring, Lin Qian smiled gently.

"Lingling, I know you’re a kind, discerning good girl, just follow your heart."

Pei Ling glanced at her, thoughtful.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, with Lin Qian being closer, she opened it casually.

"Ladies, you can go have something to eat."

At the door was the middle-aged woman who brought them here, smiling as she invited them to eat.

"Okay, thank you, ma’am."

Lin Qian thanked her with a smile, signaling the others in the room to go eat.

They happily left the room.

Ran into a man.

"Well, Captain Chen, we’re going to eat, have you eaten?"

This was the man who rescued them from the kidnappers’ hands, Lin Qian smiled and said politely.

Chen Yi initially didn’t pay much attention until he saw Lin Qian’s face, his expression changed slightly.

"You look..."

Before, Lin Qian’s face was covered in dust, making it hard to see.

But now, after she cleaned up, she looked eerily similar to someone he knew!

No wonder he felt a strange familiarity just seeing her.

Because there’s a pair of eyes just as clear and calm!

Lin Qian blinked, seeing Chen Yi’s stunned expression, she joked casually, "Don’t tell me, I look like someone you know!"

"Yes, you look a lot like her!"

Lin Qian almost stumbled, nearly falling.

She couldn’t help but laugh, feeling a bit of inexplicable anticipation.

She signaled Pei Ling and the others to go ahead to eat, while she paused.

"Captain Chen, who do I look like? Is her name Chen Xiaoman?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi shook his head, "No, she said her name was Xiu."

Xiu?

Such a casual name.

It didn’t even have a last name!

Still not her mother!

Lin Qian was already calm, not feeling the disappointment she felt earlier.

After all, she does have a common face.

"Sounds like Captain Chen has a story!"

Lin Qian looked at Chen Yi in a daze, blinking as she teased.

Chen Yi coughed lightly, eyes moving away from Lin Qian’s face, instead landing on the scarf on his chest, his mind wandering.
