Chapter 1171 - 372: You’re Not My Mother
Having confirmed that Liyu was Si Nier, no matter how distressed Lixiu felt inside, she resolutely could not bring herself to claim another’s daughter as her own. Setting aside the myriad feelings of reluctance in her heart, she began to think about Liyu, "With Xiaoyu in her current state, I don’t know if she’s willing to return to the Wu family. Should I tell her about this first, to give her some psychological preparation?"
Mo Yan nodded, "Of course, it’s necessary. However, Aunt Li, you should be the one to tell her, and try your best to soothe her, so she doesn’t hurt herself."
Liyu’s mind and body had suffered greatly. She was merely wary of unfamiliar people and not fond of speaking; it wasn’t that her mind was impaired. She wasn’t an oblivious child either. The things she needed to be aware of still had to be told to her.
Lixiu nodded silently, then suddenly looked at Mo Yan, a deep plea in her eyes, "Yanyan, if, if Xiaoyu returns to the Wu family, could you please beg Sister Wu on my behalf, to let me be Xiaoyu’s godmother?"
It was hard to refuse such a humble request, and Mo Yan sighed deeply and agreed. Aunt Wu wasn’t narrow-minded. The more people who adored her daughter, the happier she would be. Since Aunt Li had cared for Si Nier for so long and also guided San Ni’s needlework, with these connections in mind, she would be even less likely to refuse.
"Yanyan, thank you, thank you," Lixiu’s lips curled into a smile that seemed both joyous and sorrowful, as she staggered out of Mo Yan’s house.
Watching Lixiu’s frail figure, Mo Yan sighed deeply. After a long while, she left the house to visit the Wu family, telling them about Liyu being Si Nier.
The Wu’s had previously considered adopting Liyu, but since Liyu was inseparable from Lixiu, they gave up on the idea. However, Wu’s treated Liyu as if she were indeed Si Nier, making several sets of clothes and socks for her, and often sending over delicious food.
