Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 633 - 611 Lu Zhizhou’s Mother_1

Lu Zhizhou went silent, looking at Mrs. Yang without speaking. Indeed, she did not recall knowing anyone with the surname Yang, nor did Lu Mojing ever mention it.

"Father has never brought it up."

After what felt like forever, Lu Zhizhou responded, her tone as gentle as always.

"And your mother?"

Mrs. Yang probed, her gaze full of anticipation as she looked at Lu Zhizhou.

"My mother died due to birthing complications when giving birth to me."

Lu Zhizhou’s voice was calm and steady as always.

That’s what Lu Mojing explained, and so did Lu Mohai.

"She’s... dead."

Mrs. Yang looked at Lu Zhizhou in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Zhizhou nodded, "Yes."

"Your father told you this?"

Mrs. Yang took a sip of water, her hand trembling around the glass. Her expression seemed off.

Lu Zhizhou nodded again.

Suddenly, Mrs. Yang fell silent.

"If there’s nothing else, I really need to get back to work."

Lu Zhizhou glanced at her bustling employees and spoke slowly.

She had time to spare and she could help out, easing their workload a little.

When she first opened her business, she never expected it to be this prosperous. She operated calmly and without the pressure of making a profit.

Mrs. Yang: "I have something to say."

Lu Zhizhou: "Go ahead."

"Shouldn’t the young lady of the Lu family live a life of luxury? Look at you, so busy and toilsome."

Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Zhizhou remorsefully.

Lu Zhizhou: "???"

She looked at Mrs. Yang puzzled, her eyes calm.

How she lived her life was none of a stranger’s business, was it?

"Here’s my card. If life as the young lady of the Lu family becomes too hard, you can live as the young lady of the Ye family."

Mrs. Yang pulled out a business card from her bag and handed it to Lu Zhizhou.

On the card, the name Ye Yunsan struck out.

"This is my husband."

Mrs. Yang explained the relation between the man on the card and her.

A famous foreign corporation—the company of Ye Yunsan. Lu Zhizhou had heard of its name while studying abroad. It was very well known.

"I find you curious. No matter how unsatisfactory my life as the Lu young lady may be, I don’t think it has anything to do with you."

Lu Zhizhou softly furrowed her brows as she said this to Mrs. Yang.

What Mrs. Yang said was odd, and Mrs. Yang herself was a bit strange.

Even if her life was dire and troubled, it should not concern this stranger woman, right?

Lu Zhizhou looked at Mrs. Yang indifferently, then got up to leave.

"I only want for you to live well, nothing more."

Mrs. Yang immediately stood up, voicing her urgency.

No ulterior motive, just hoping that Lu Zhizhou could live well, not get too tired, and be a peaceful rich young lady.

Shopping, beauty treatments, hairdressing, flower arranging, and flower planting...

All those leisure activities that could pass the time.

"I believe... we do not know each other."

Lu Zhizhou’s expression was indifferent as she eyed Mrs. Yang baffled.

"I am your biological mother."

Mrs. Yang took a deep breath and looked into Lu Zhizhou’s eyes as she said this, her voice slightly trembling.

Lu Zhizhou was beautiful and gentle.

My mother?

Biologically related?

Lu Zhizhou looked at Mrs. Yang in surprise, as if hearing an impossible fable, "This joke is not funny."

Although she spoke thus, her heart was in turmoil—normally, nobody jokes about such things.

"Zhizhou, I’m not joking. I’m serious. I’m truly your mother."

Mrs. Yang spoke earnestly, reaching out for Lu Zhizhou’s hand, only to be avoided.

"After giving birth to you, I divorced your father and have been living well. I am sorry that I have not been there to see you grow up."

Mrs. Yang looked into Lu Zhizhou’s eyes with utter seriousness, her own eyes brimming with sincerity.

"I am sorry, but my mother has passed away."

Lu Zhizhou didn’t look at Mrs. Yang but turned to walk away, her footsteps subtly trembling.

Instead of helping out, she walked directly into the staff room, failing to regain her composure for a long time.

She realized that Mrs. Yang probably was not jesting about this, as such a jest could be easily debunked.

So, she really was her mother.

Lu Zhizhou took out her phone, called Lu Mojing, and hurried to catch a cab.

Watching Lu Zhizhou leave, Mrs. Yang clenched and then quickly unclenched her fists.

Her daughter had grown up into a beautiful young lady.

"Hey, I wanted to ask, how is your boss doing?"

Mrs. Yang latched onto one of the employees, speaking gently.

Her mannerisms and behavior actually bore some similarity to Lu Zhizhou, and there was a faint resemblance in their looks.

"I’m not sure I can say, I should get back to work."

The junior staff member avoided answering Mrs. Yang as it wasn’t her place to discuss Zhangzhou’s affairs.

Whether Lu Zhizhou was doing well or not, they as employees knew, but they wouldn’t disclose their boss’s personal matters.

Mrs. Yang continued asking others but received no answer.

——

At the Lu mansion.

Lu Mohai and Lu Mojing were playing a game of chess. Lu Zhizhou walked in, her gaze on Lu Mojing.

"Dad, did my biological mother really die in childbirth?"

She asked as soon as she stepped into the room, having only confirmed Lu Mojing’s location during their phone call without mentioning anything about her day.

"What’s with you, child, you seem flustered."

Looking at Lu Zhizhou, Lu Mojing felt slightly confused.

"Tell me the truth."

Lu Zhizhou repeated her request.

Lu Mohai held his chess piece, deep in thought without making the next move.

"Yes, haven’t you always known this? Why are you asking now?"

Lu Mojing still didn’t sense anything amiss and responded nonchalantly.

They’ve always told Lu Zhizhou the same story, the entire Lu family included. And Lu Zhizhou had always believed it since childhood.

"Take a look at this."

Lu Zhizhou pulled out a business card, the one Mrs. Yang had given her.

Upon seeing the card, Lu Mojing’s face changed, turning slightly dark, "Where did you get this?"

He looked up at Lu Zhizhou, tears the business card apart right in front of her. His expression grew stern.

"A woman named Yang gave it to me."

Lu Zhizhou replied.
