CHAPTER 270: CHAPTER 269: I ALREADY HAVE A FIANCÉ (9)

Gu Ningyi nodded faintly, "Suit yourself."

Lady Wei put down the champagne in her hand, turned gracefully, and headed toward the restroom, but her steps were already somewhat unsteady. Dong Xin Yan watched Lady Wei leave, feeling anxious, and without thinking, said to Gu Ningyi, "Gu... Ning Yi, I’m going to the restroom too."

Gu Ningyi slightly raised an eyebrow, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he curved his lips, "Go ahead."

Saying this, he reached out to take the champagne from Dong Xin Yan’s hand. Dong Xin Yan was stunned for a second, softly said thank you, and handed the champagne to him before quickly turning to follow in the direction Lady Wei had gone.

Dong Xin Yan caught up with Lady Wei in the hallway. She stood a few steps behind her, looking at her elegant and beautiful back. Her hands hanging by her side clenched slightly, she bit her lower lip lightly, and spoke in a low voice, "Lady... Lady Wei."

Though the voice was low, it still reached Lady Wei’s ears clearly. Lady Wei’s body trembled slightly, something flashed quickly in her eyes, she closed her eyes, and a few seconds later, opened them, stopped, and turned around.

All the panic had disappeared, Lady Wei looked at her calmly and indifferently, her voice carrying a sense of distance, even a bit of coldness, "Miss Dong, is there something you need?"

Dong Xin Yan’s heart twisted heavily, she pressed her lips together, looked at her, and spoke seriously, word by word, "Lady Wei, my name is Dong Xin Yan, my nickname is Xinxin, the Xinxin that means hearts connected. This is the name my mother helped me... ."

Before Dong Xin Yan could finish her words, Lady Wei interrupted her directly, her voice gentle and kind, but what she said was incredibly cruel, "Miss Dong, I’m sorry, I’m... not interested in your name or your family. If there’s nothing else, I’ll excuse myself, sorry."

Dong Xin Yan’s remaining words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

She had imagined countless times what it would be like when she met her again.

Back then, she abandoned her father and her, who was so young, ignoring her cries and pleas, resolutely left. She sat in the car, and she ran crying behind it.

It rained very heavily that day, with thunder and lightning, she was very scared, but she was more afraid of her leaving.

No matter how hard she ran, how many times she fell, still she struggled to get up and keep chasing, but she still couldn’t catch up with that speeding car, could only watch helplessly as it disappeared into the rain curtain.

She didn’t understand why the mother who once loved her so much could be so cruel to abandon her, to leave her father.

She asked her father, but he was unwilling to say anything and wouldn’t let her mention her, so she could only think and guess for herself.

All these years, she had always missed her, always wanted to find her, to ask her why, to ask if she ever missed her.

But she never expected that standing before her, listening to her name, she was so indifferent, as if truly a stranger.

Dong Xin Yan’s eyes immediately filled with a layer of moisture, gradually turning red.

Even if she couldn’t recognize her grown-up self, she wouldn’t forget her daughter’s name, right? Or maybe she remembered, but simply didn’t care.

After finishing those words, Lady Wei slightly nodded at Dong Xin Yan, then turned and continued walking toward the restroom.
