Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 2091 - 2095: Great Minds Think Alike

"Did Senior Master Lin and Senior Madame Lin really stop Mengmeng’s parents from searching for her, and they just didn’t look for her?" Ye Xingbei asked in disbelief.

"At first, they indeed didn’t search," Gu Junzhu said. "They probably thought Ho Yumeng was just upset and hiding at a classmate’s place, and would return once she calmed down. But as time went by without any news, they started to panic and sent people to look for her everywhere. Unfortunately, by then, Ho Yumeng had already hidden away in a small place and changed her identity. They probably never imagined that she would keep her name as Yumeng, making her impossible to find."

"Should I call them confused, or just cold-hearted?" Ye Xingbei sighed. "A fifteen-year-old girl running away from home—how dangerous is that? Under normal circumstances, her parents would be worried sick, but Mengmeng’s parents really kept their composure."

"It’s not composure; it’s cowardice," Gu Junzhu smirked. "Both of them are simple people. Ho Yumeng was their only daughter, and after her disappearance, their life wasn’t easy. They never stopped looking for her all these years."

"Oh..." Ye Xingbei hesitated. "Then, in that case, Mengmeng’s parents are quite pitiful... but also quite detestable..."

"Exactly," Qiao Zui snapped his fingers. "Now for that saying..."

Ye Xingbei: "People to be pitied often have something detestable about them!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Qiao Zui pointed at her. "Aunt-in-law, great minds think alike!"

Gu Junzhu glanced at him.

He touched his nose and raised his hands, "I didn’t say anything!"

Ye Xingbei playfully nudged Gu Junzhu. "That’s enough, stop scaring Ah Zui. You’re so used to scaring him that when Ah Zui’s son is born, seeing you always bully his dad, he definitely won’t be fond of you."

"It’s fine," Gu Junzhu said. "As long as my son is fond of me."

Ye Xingbei: "...Speaking of which, I just remembered, Ah Zui’s son will have to call you granduncle... Wow, such a young granduncle!"

"Same goes for you," Gu Junzhu affectionately rubbed the back of her head, smiling at her, "such a young grandaunt!"

Ye Xingbei: "...Let’s change the topic!"

"Yes, let’s change the topic," Qiao Zui said, stroking his chin. "Uncle, according to what you said, even if Ho Yumeng is a daughter of the Lin Family, she left and has been gone for so many years. The Lin Family practically has nothing to do with her anymore."

"There is still a connection," Gu Junzhu said. "Ho Yumeng is her parents’ only daughter, and even now, her parents haven’t given up looking for her. Previously, they couldn’t find her because she wasn’t in Beijing. Now that she’s back in Beijing and working with Yue Yaer at Xiao Shumiao’s school, considering the Lin Family’s influence, how much longer do you think she can hide?"

Qiao Zui rubbed his chin with his fingers and chuckled, "Actually, subconsciously, she also wants to come home, right?"

"I think so," Ye Xingbei said. "Her mother did make some mistakes, but it’s been so many years; even the deepest grievances should have faded. Since her parents have been looking for her for so many years, they must really love her. Mengmeng probably misses her parents too, and that’s why she decided to return to Beijing."

"Right," Qiao Zui concurred. "That’s what I think as well."

"All these are Ho Yumeng’s own matters, and we need not concern ourselves with them," Gu Junzhu said. "In the end, whether or not to return to the Lin Family is entirely Ho Yumeng’s choice."
