Chapter 1349: 1349

It was secretly snapped? What sort of photo would require Ou Ming to have to snap a shot of it secretly?

Yu Lili looked down instinctively at the screen on Ou Ming’s phone . The person displayed on it could very possibly be her mother .

This was the mother who had left her in the care of another woman . This was the mother who had been willing to spend a huge amount of money to hire a surrogate but had disappeared without a trace when she was born .

Ou Ming’s finger made a few swipes on the screen and immediately picked out the photograph . From the color, one could tell that the photo had been taken from a bygone era and was probably a few decades old . Because the photo had been secretly taken, it was a little blurry . However, the general outlines were still visible .

Yu Lili was in shock when she saw the photograph . She looked at Ou Ming in disbelief . “You suspect that it’s her? How is that even possible?”

It was the old photograph that had been hidden in the deepest compartment of Wen Fenglin’s wallet . It was Xian’er .

Ou Ming pinched her hand as a signal for her to calm down . He positioned the phone screen in front of the woman as he asked, “Is this her?”

The middle-aged lady looked at the photograph and was visibly astonished . She quickly replied, “It should be…”

“Is it or isn’t it? Please be a little more definite,” Ou Ming said .

“It is,” the woman declared . “It should be her . ”

“Should?” Ou Ming’s brows creased together . He began to feel that this woman wasn’t exactly reliable .

“It’s her . It’s definitely her, Mom . I remember this lady too . She frequently brought candy for us when she came . All of us siblings liked her very much . I’m very sure it is this lady . There is no mistake,” the young man at the side announced confidently .

With her son’s encouragement, the woman confidently nodded her head and agreed . “Yes . It’s definitely her . I remember that it was her . This is your mother!”

Yu Lili’s heartbeat sped up in that moment . She looked at them and began to find the situation hilarious . “You aren’t sure at all! You’re just spouting nonsense!”

“Why would I?” the woman asked . “I gain nothing from doing something like that, Child! This is your mother . It was she who came to me looking for a surrogate . ”

“Then, tell me this . What was her name?” Yu Lili’s tone was extremely discourteous . She clearly didn’t believe this woman . “I’ll believe you if you’re able to tell me her name . ”

The expression on the woman’s face turned dark, but she tried to recall, nonetheless . She replied, “She never mentioned her name, and she never told me what it was . She only wrote it on the contract, but I’m illiterate . I couldn’t tell what she wrote . ”

“Where’s the contract?” Yu Lili questioned .

“It was ruined by the children long ago, and thrown away…”

Yu Lili burst out laughing when she heard that .

The woman began to panic when she saw Yu Lili’s reaction and said, “Although I don’t know what her name was, I know her family name was Chi! It’s spelled C-H-I!

Her family name was Chi . Yu Lili pursed her lips . Her expression was thunderous . Individuals with the family name of Chi were indeed not many . To investigate and find them was just as difficult .

“Didn’t you say that you were illiterate? How would you know it was spelled C-H-I?” Yu Lili asked .

The woman began to get agitated when she saw how she was being doubted . She threw courtesy to the wind and retorted, “That’s because she told me so! When she introduced herself, she said, ‘I’m Miss Chi . It’s spelled C-H-I!’”

Yu Lili looked at Ou Ming and asked, “Do you know what her family name was?”

Ou Ming hadn’t said a word since the beginning . His eyes were meaningful and shining unusually bright . He looked deeply into Yu Lili’s eyes and said gently, “Her name was Chi Xian . ”

That name bombarded straight into Yu Lili’s heart . Her mind went blank .
