Hearing this, Yu Lili's breathing stagnated and she looked at Ou Ming in disbelief.
"found it?"
Twenty-five years ago, there were not so many closed-circuit cars around the orphanage like there are now.
It is difficult to find an abandoned baby without anyone seeing it.
It goes without saying how difficult this is.
But Ou Ming actually found it!
"Yes, I found it." Ou Ming reached out and gently stroked her cheek, "She is doing well."
"Is it... the woman who gave birth to me?"
In other words, her mother.
Is it her mother
The word "mother" is too far away from Yu Lili.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never called out these two words.
She thought that such a person should have died long ago.
Unexpectedly, Ou Ming found it now.
Ou Ming clearly sensed Yu Lili's emotional fluctuations. He stroked her head soothingly and said, "Yes, but she is not your mother."
“How could that be? Since she gave birth to me, who else could it be but my mother?” Yu Lili became a little emotional and yelled.
"Hush," Ou Ming pointed at the driver in front and said, "Don't get excited. Let me explain it to you slowly."
“You say!” Although Yu Lili said this, she was not stable at all.
She held Ou Ming's hands tightly with both of hers, which undoubtedly revealed her nervousness.
"She is the woman who gave birth to you, but she is not your biological mother. You have no blood relationship with her at all."
“What do you mean?” Yu Lili felt a little overwhelmed. “How is it possible…”
"She was a surrogate mother. She gave birth to you for someone else. In other words, she gave birth to you for your biological mother, and she just lent your mother a belly."
"Surrogacy? Isn't this illegal?"
"It wasn't illegal back then," Ou Ming tapped her forehead. "The woman wouldn't tell you the details. She wants you to meet her in person."
"Let me go see her in person? Where is she now?"
"In F County, she is now a mother of two children, both of whom are older than you. You are her last child. After giving birth to you, your biological mother did not come to find you. With her living conditions, it was not enough to feed a premature baby like you." Ou Ming combed her hair and continued, "The cold wave was very severe back then, and F County was just a small village at the time. There were three children, and one of them froze to death."
So, was she thrown away
The year she was born, the cold wave really frightened many people.
She survived this once-in-a-century heavy snowfall.
"What about my biological parents? Where are they?" Yu Lili couldn't tell what she was feeling. At this moment, she felt uncomfortable, sad, and even... expectant.
What to look forward to
So many years have passed, and her biological parents have never appeared. They have never raised her for a single day or fed her a sip of milk.
Now that she has survived all this time on her own, what does it matter whether they show up or not
And now she is still looking forward to them.
I look forward to her parents, looking forward to having a father and a mother like others, who can love her, give her a home, and make her look less pitiful...
