Chapter 632: Old Story
Wu Mei saw that Chu Ning was listening and wiped her tears. "Actually, I made an agreement with her to keep this a secret, to not tell a third party about it. However, President Chu sponsored Wu Yi. It’s a kindness to our family. It’s best if we can help you."
Following Wu Mei’s narration, Chu Ning finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that Wu Mei’s original name was Xing Lin. She had had a good relationship with her sister, Xing Fei, since they were young. Later on, they even went to university together. Xing Fei married a government official, while Xing Lin married a soldier.
The two of them became pregnant one after the other. When Xing Lin went to visit her husband when she was three months pregnant, Xing Fei was worried. She felt that she should be safe as she was five months pregnant, so she went with Xing Lin.
However, on the way back, they met a group of hooligans. Seeing that the two women were easy to bully, they wanted get some money out of them. In the end, Xing Lin had already used all the money she had to buy things for her husband. Xing Fei had handed over all she had, but the hooligans still felt that it was not enough.
The hooligans hit Xing Fei with their sticks. Xing Fei blocked Xing Lin from the blows and lost her child. She could no longer get pregnant. Xing Lin was so frightened that she had to stay in the hospital for several months before she could keep her child.
During that period of time, Xing Fei’s mental state deteriorated greatly. She cried every day with the clothes that she had prepared for her child. She was about to go blind from crying. Until Xing Lin gave birth to a pair of twin boys.
When Xing Fei saw one of the children, she hugged it tightly and refused to let go. She told everyone that this was her child. When Xing Lin saw her sister breaking down, she almost drowned with guilt. Because her sister had suffered this disaster as a result of wanting to accompany her, she hardened her heart and gave the child to her sister. Then, she moved with the other child and changed her name to Wu Mei. She never returned to M City again.
