At the Mo mansion, Wu Xiaomin and Lin Yanyan were busy packing Yuan Yuanâs belongings and categorized them into big bags that were then moved to the living room.
They couldnât bear to part with Yuan Yuan since they had watched him grow up and had lavished a lot of attention on him. Now that the child was about to leave, everyone in the Mo mansion felt reluctant to part with him, especially his nanny Wang Juan who was holed up in her room sobbing to herself.
Yuan Yuan sat on his fatherâs lap. Now that he was five years old, he hardly asked to be held.
âDadâ¦â Yuan Yuan said as he reached out and gently wiped his fatherâs tears away.
His dad said that he would be going to live with his mother and his younger sister Xi Xi at the castle.
Mo Yixuan gently cupped his sonâs face as he said, âYuan Yuan, do you still remember what Iâve told you?â
âI do. Dad, donât worry. Iâll work hard to make mom come back to live together with us,â he said sweetly.
He wanted his parents to live together just as the parents of his classmates did.
Mo Yixuan laughed wryly and kissed his sonâs cheeks. This was his precious son and he was reluctant to part with him but he wasnât left with much of a choice. He couldnât hurt Yan Yan a second time and he guessed that she wouldnât be able to live through a second round of anguish.
He Xiyan had already arrived downstairs. She brought Qin Xiaoyu along with her and they had come to take Yuan Yuan away.
He Xiyan immediately noticed the large bags of belongings the moment she arrived and guessed that they must be Yuan Yuanâs belongings.
She entered the house and quickly saw the house that she had once been extremely familiar with. This was also the house she had lived in for three years. The house had been renovated and most of the furniture had changed. The furnishings she had purchased in the past were all gone.
She thought that this was how it felt like when things still remain but they were no longer the same.
She took a few steps forward and arrived at the living room where she immediately noticed two portraits of the deceased. The first was Mo Yixuanâs father Mo Xuming while the second photograph was of his mother Li Qin. These portraits that only showed the top half of their bodies were exceptionally eye-catching.
He Xiyan stared at these two photographs and noticed that the people in these photographs were very different from how they were in real life, especially Li Qin who smiled so brightly that she looked almost matronly, a vast departure from the woman who always stared at her with contempt and displeasure.
Matronly? He Xiyan would have never imagined that Li Qin would have this side to her.
She guessed that Li Qin must have disliked or even hated her and this was why she treated her so badly. However, she had been extremely kind to Yuan Yuan and even her ex-daughter-in-law Xia Yuwei.
He Xiyan still remembered what it had been like when she had first arrived at the Mo family home 10 years ago. Mo Yixuanâs parents had both been alive then and there had been an old steward and two maids employed at the house.
The house was completely different now and these old people were no longer amongst the living.
She heaved a long sigh and guessed that Mo Yixuan must feel extremely sad. She could empathize with the pain of losing two parents.
âMs. He, weâve already packed all of Yuan Yuanâs belongings,â someone said.
He Xiyan turned to see the two maids who had been hired by her, Wu Xiaomin and Lin Yanyan. These twin girls seemed to have changed as well and they seemed more mature than before.
