Chapter 229 Recognition
"You haven’t been taking care of yourself..." Shen Xun said softly, his hand gripping hers even more tightly, "you’ve gotten so thin..."
Su Lu smiled, "Then you have to ask Mom, I’ve always been naturally unable to gain weight."
Hearing her words, Shen Xun, with red-rimmed eyes, couldn’t help but smile.
It was Zhao Ying at the side, who stared blankly, watching her son and daughter.
Her lips trembling slightly, she asked, "What did you just call me..."
Shen Xun and Su Lu both looked over at her. Zhao Ying covered her mouth with her hand, her large eyes brimming with a watery glisten on the verge of collapse. Upon a closer look, Su Lu’s eyes resembled hers, except Su Lu rarely cried, which made it likely she resembled her in that aspect too.
Zhao Ying also possessed strong resilience, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to raise her son alone after the divorce, search for her daughter, and manage a company, becoming a capable businesswoman in her own right.
She quickly turned away, wiping her eyes vigorously with her hand, and then turned back with the gleam in her eyes gone, leaving only the redness around them.
Zhao Ying forced a smile, "It’s okay... it’s okay..."
It was unclear whether she was trying to comfort Su Lu or herself.
Su Lu remained silent, watching her for a while, then clearly enunciated two words, "Mom."
