Chapter 175: He really looks just like the young lady!

'Madam, the young master doesn't want any, you try one.'

Wu Shuhui sighed and nodded, 'Thank you.'

With her husband sick, her daughter having run away, and her son just becoming an adult, she was lacking in more than a little human knowledge.

She had always thought she understood life, but at this moment she realised that apart from studying, she really knew nothing.

Books are really deceptive.

They will always tell you that if you work hard, you will succeed.

But they will never tell you that there are many people who will die without knowing what success is.

It's like she has been cheated all over the place and repeatedly hit a brick wall.

That's not all, her second and third children have been making things difficult for her on the pretext that she is a foreigner.

But the second and third sons? The second son is headstrong and thinks he can do everything well, but in fact he is a mess. Whenever something goes wrong, he will always look for the problem in others.

The third son, on the other hand, has no sense of responsibility. He can only see the small advantages in front of him, and is a typical profit seeker.

This is why Ji Guangsheng has always treated the two like gods, without giving them real power.

Wu Shuhui naturally knows that she cannot entrust her business to these two people. After much thought, she makes the difficult decision to let Ji Chu, who has excelled in both studies and character since childhood, enter society early.

People envy those born with a silver spoon, but they actually have no less, and often more, heartache and helplessness in their lives than ordinary people.

Jidou was young and knew nothing about the world when he first entered it. He was even more likely to be cheated than Wu Shuhui. Fortunately, thanks to the hard work of Uncle Guang, who helped him out along the way, Jidou was able to avoid being cheated.

Several times, Jidou almost made a mistake, but Uncle Guang discovered it in advance.

Otherwise, it would have been a loss after another.

Thinking about the hardships of the past few years, Wu Shuhui let out a sigh. It really is a cold world.

She looked out of the window with vacant eyes, and after a while she spoke softly before picking up a cherry and putting it in her mouth.

'Mmm?'

The moment the cherry entered her mouth, Wu Shuhui's dull eyes suddenly lit up.

The Ji family did not lack money, and they certainly did not lack fruit.

But this was the first time she had seen such a large, sweet cherry in her life.

This new variety is indeed different from the past ones. It has more juice and a stronger fruity flavour, and it really is delicious.

'It tastes good, buy more next time and keep them at home, Pien-lan loves cherries the most...'

Wu Shuhui said to herself.

Uncle Guang pursed his lips, but did not make a sound.

He knew that his wife was missing her daughter again.

Ever since Miss ran away from home three years ago, the Ji family has been getting worse and worse.

Not to mention business.

More than once, he has heard his wife and husband argue over Miss, and every time it ends with his wife sobbing and his husband sighing.

If they hadn't forced Miss to marry, this wouldn't have happened.

But it has happened, so what can anyone do?

'Oh yes, Madam, the young man who gave me the cherries today is the one who sold the young master the matsutake mushrooms last time. His name is Gu Chen.'

Uncle Guang spoke very quietly, for fear of disturbing the Master's rest.

Wu Shuhui nodded, 'You seemed to have already mentioned that.'

He had already mentioned it when he returned.

Hearing this, Uncle Guang couldn't help but lean in closer, his tone a little mysterious.

'Madam, please listen to me. This young man carried a child today, a little girl, he said she was under three years old, but the way she looked, she really looked a lot like Miss when she was little, especially those eyes. Only that she is a little thinner than Miss...'

After he finished, Uncle Guang swallowed.

He felt that it was still necessary to tell Madam about this matter.

Over the years, she and her husband had been looking for Miss everywhere.

But they never found her. If this really is Miss Wu, and if he doesn't tell her, he'll have wasted the opportunity.

Then he'll have committed a grave sin.

Even if it's not, at least he'll give her some hope.

Sure enough, Wu Shuhui's body trembled, and her hand holding the cherries shook slightly.

The faint sadness she had felt just now instantly disappeared, and she was replaced by a sense of excitement and nervousness.

'Are you sure?'

Her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

She was really afraid that Uncle Guang had misjudged the situation, or that she had made up such a kind lie just to cheer herself up.

Or maybe...

Could it be that the heavens had opened up and she was finally going to find her daughter?

Over the years, all she had worried about was whether Ji Pianran was doing well on her own. Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, her tears had unconsciously wet the pillow.

As a mother, no one doesn't worry about their children.

Every day she is away, her heart is wandering for a day.

Uncle Guang nodded seriously, 'Really, how dare I lie to you? Why don't you take some time to go and meet the child?'

Wu Shuhui squeezed the cherries in her hand, pursed her lips, and looked out the window again.

After a while, she seemed to have an idea, and then turned to look at Uncle Guang.

'Try to find out where they live, but don't alert them. I'll find time to go and see them.'

At the moment, there's no way of knowing whether the child is really Ji Pianran's.

Besides, it's not right for me to just turn up and demand to see someone's wife and child.

If it turns out that it's not hers, then it's fine, but it's just one more heartbreak.

If it really is hers, and if Pianran is still angry and knows that I'm looking for her, she'll just hide even more. I'm afraid I'll never find my daughter in this lifetime.

She knows her daughter better than anyone else. She already regretted running away from home when she first did it.

If she makes another mistake this time, her heart will really suffer.

Back then, it was Ji Guangsheng and I who were wrong.

But it was really out of our control.

I thought that over time, my daughter would come to accept it, but I never imagined that she would be so headstrong as to just run away.

Right now, the wisest choice is to find out where she is and go and have a quiet look.

If not, then she would quietly return, and in this way, no one would suffer.

Ji Guangsheng was still recovering from his illness, and just now his second child had caused another big scene, so he really couldn't afford any more shocks.

If it was the case, then she really had to thank the heavens for their blessings.

No matter what happened to her daughter, or who she met, as long as Ji Pianran still recognised her as her mother, that would be fine.

'Madam, don't worry, leave this to me, in less than three days, I will definitely let you see the child!'

As soon as it's morning, she'll give him a call to ask about the cordyceps, and take the opportunity to find out where Gu Chen lives. In that way, Gu Chen will never suspect her.

Even if she can't find out, she can send someone to follow him when he comes to deliver the goods, and that will tell her where he lives.

Uncle Guang is an old man in the Ji family, and he thinks of everything.
