Chapter 286 Elegant lady
The overall feeling was a luxurious French style, but it had a refined feeling to it amidst the solemnity.
"Is it Xiaoxiao?" The calm and soothing voice slowly spoke, but within the majesty, there was a hint of happiness.
With a smile on his face, he looked in the direction of the voice, seeing a middle-aged woman sitting on a white chair.
The woman had a oval face, delicate facial features, and cherry lips as she outlined her exquisite makeup.
The woman did not look young, but she was well-kept, her skin smooth and shiny.
The woman wore a modified qipao dress that was obviously luxurious and extraordinary. It was embroidered from the bottom of her body. She had a crystal clear jade phoenix with a bun on her head and black fur draped over her shoulders.
A round wrist was revealed under the Chinese wide sleeves, a jade gong hung loosely, and the elegance of the body was as if it had come from a painting of the seventieth century.
Yun Hanxiao was not used to being called so intimately, and only nodded at her slightly.
"Hello!"
The lady slowly stood up, her well-proportioned, tall figure silhouetted against the tight suit.
She smiled and nodded towards Yun Hanxiao, then extended out her hand.
Yun Hanxiao respectfully extended his hand out to shake with her, but he could clearly feel her hand tremble.
Yun Hanxiao looked at the noble lady in front of him curiously, and realised that she was looking at him with a strange gaze.
Yun Hanxiao felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze.
The identity of this woman made her feel very flustered, and her palms were full of sweat.
Yun Hanxiao looked at her, frowned as she stared at him, and then raised her head to look at him.
She did not speak, but quickly regained her composure and slowly sat down.
"Don't worry, I invited you here just to chat with you." The noble lady was a little nervous. She raised her hands to cover her head. "I have yet to ask you. Would you be willing to talk to a lonely woman like me?"
"Oh, okay." Yun Hanxiao stood up, and a servant stood beside her and pulled up a chair for her.
The two of them slowly walked out of the living room and into a large sunroom filled with flowers and plants. The room was brightly lit with lights on all four sides of the room.
"I heard you like flowers and plants." "This garden is a greenhouse, even if there are many rare varieties of flowers blooming in the winter." She reached out and fiddled with an orchid.
"Hur hur, I'm just playing around when I'm bored." Yun Hanxiao felt that she must have something to say to her.
But this woman had a very good temperament, she did not speak up for a long time, which made Yun Hanxiao a little worried.
The middle aged lady pointed at a carved wooden chair and asked her to sit down. She raised her eyes and looked at Yun Hanxiao quietly, with a voice that was so gentle that it made one want to get drunk, and did not get up.
"Sit." My surname is Lan, and everyone likes to call me Mrs. Lan?! "
The woman introduced herself.
Yun Hanxiao nodded, she could not make a sound, and could only continue to stand there with her cold smile on her face.
Mrs. Lan was very humble: "I think you have a lot of things to do today, so I took the liberty to invite you here. My friend is not young anymore, and has the temperament of a child. I don't know how Di Chajie provoked her, but he actually did something that is close to kidnapping her. With regards to my disrespect, please forgive me! "
Yun Hanxiao smiled obediently and shook her head, showing that she did not mind.
"Ugh ??" He had never known that gentleness could have such a strong aura, that it could make people feel deeply impressed.
A bitter smile appeared on the beautiful face of the middle-aged woman as she continued.
"Shall we get down to business? I had a daughter, but I was separated from her when I was very young.
I wanted to find her. I wanted to see her, I wanted to know how she was doing, I wanted to get her back.
But I had to use a lot of manpower and resources to find her.
Every year, on her birthday, I feel so sad. Why didn't I fulfill my duty? A mother who lost her child, no matter what, can't be justified. "
"All these years, I've been living a tough life. People think that I'm living a good life and I'm very happy. But as a mother, only then do you know that the saddest thing in the world is the separation of the flesh and blood. "
Mrs. Lan's expression was a little sad, she looked around and immediately said, "Does Miss Yun think that I'm talking too much?"
Yun Hanxiao shook her head.
Although he had a lot of questions, he didn't know where to start asking.
The Mrs. Lan was really capable at timing it so accurately. He brought her here without any bloodshed.
The power behind them could only be described as powerful.
And from the looks of this Mrs. Lan, she was clearly a noble woman.
Listening to her bland tone as she narrated the story, Yun Hanxiao was unable to guess whether she was talking about him, so she could only mutter under her breath, "No way."
Mrs. Lan nodded and did not reply.
On the other hand, she gently held Yun Hanxiao's hand, indicating that she should follow him.
Yun Hanxiao felt that holding her hand was extremely delicate, but luckily, other than holding hands, she did not do anything to make Yun Hanxiao feel uneasy.
They walked out of the greenhouse and into the yard.
The yard was not a normal one, with transparent glass at the top.
Yun Hanxiao sighed, she did not care that this place was not cold at all.
It was surrounded by trees. Because there was no longer any cold air, the trees were not verdant and lush, but they were very good.
Dispersing the dense lanterns, the salty courtyard deep.
Mrs. Lan walked to a small courtyard and listened, "The scenery here is not bad, if you like it, you can come over to play often."
Still holding her hand, he walked along the jade paved path into the depths of the courtyard.
Yun Hanxiao felt like she was in a dream, and the wariness in her heart slowly disappeared.
He followed her into another courtyard and heard her say, "Here it is."
She gasped as the lantern flared.
It was actually an endless orchid.
The lights on both sides were like a string of beads on a beauty's body.
He leisurely walked over.
It was winter here, and the orchids were blooming above the lake. It was amazing.
The orchids were crowded together on the surface of the lake, and there was a thin layer of mist rising from the surface of the lake.
It was simply the appearance of someone in a fairyland.
Upon closer inspection, each and every one of them looked like they were on top of the lake's surface.
It turned out that underneath the flower, there was a transparent jade bowl floating in the lake.
The glazed stem should have contained sand for nourishment.
However, there was nothing inside. One could vaguely see the transparent roots of the orchids shaking within the stalks.
This scene was like a dream or illusion, leaving her in a daze.
The Mrs. Lan smiled, "Does it look good? "The spring water is here, so it's a beautiful sight to see in winter."
Yun Hanxiao smiled slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she had been staring at something.
After a while, she said softly, "Yes."
The Mrs. Lan seemed to be happy that Yun Hanxiao liked it here.
She smiled gently and paused. "If you like, you can stay here for a few days."
Stay?
Yun Hanxiao stared blankly at her, surprised by her straightforward expression.
The fragrance of the orchids was faintly discernible, and the faint smoke of water lingered in the pond. Everything seemed to be an illusion.
After walking around leisurely, Yun Hanxiao had been here for a while, it was just that this place was too beautiful, as though time had passed slowly.
Since others were unwilling to expose her, then she was the only one who could become the villain.
She lowered her head. "I'm afraid that Madam didn't bring me here just to enjoy the scenery."
The Mrs. Lan muttered, "I... No harm done. "
Yun Hanxiao looked up at Mrs. Lan only to see a cold wind blowing under the light. The strands of hair around her neck fluttered, making her appear even more lithe.
Yun Hanxiao could not help but wish that she was really her mother.
That should be...
Mrs. Lan was silent. After a while, she smiled and said, "I want to ask you something."
Yun Hanxiao's voice was just as gentle and thick as before, "Madam, please ask."
"If you were the girl in the story, would you forgive this careless mother?"
Yun Hanxiao's heart wavered a little.
The lights in the pool flickered past his line of sight, like shooting stars that had disappeared in a flash.
Just like life, passing by in a hurry ??
Yun Hanxiao nodded, her voice was so calm it sounded like she was not speaking at all, "It's good enough that we can be together, what's there to be concerned about about in the past ??"
Even though he said that, how could he quickly make up for all the years of estrangement?
He didn't hate her anymore. On the contrary, he didn't love her anymore.
Hearing Yun Hanxiao's words, the Mrs. Lan's eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
"The only mistake in my life is to lose my daughter.
As a mother, I just want to find her and make it up to her.
You, come with me, I want to give you something. "
Yun Hanxiao shook her head, feeling that she would be rejected.
But Mrs. Lan did not give her the chance.
Yun Hanxiao had originally thought that the road would be very long. She was already heavy, and after walking for a while, she was already a little tired.
He didn't expect the mansion's layout to be so tight.
Not long after, Yun Hanxiao arrived at the place and followed him to a bedroom on the second floor.
At the end of the corridor, the white orchids were beautiful.
They were all placed in the same flower rack. One could only see that the flowers bloomed in a mess amidst the pure white.
The lights on the top of the flower reflected a faint gold, as if the flower had become a sprinkle of gold foil, exceptionally beautiful.
When he walked into the room, he found it to be a very proper Chinese style of decoration.
Pear wood furniture, purple Su-embroidery bedding curtains, silver thread embroidery of large flowers of orchids, it looks elegant and refined.
In the middle of the room, there was a screen made of precious Pear Blossom Wood.
The screen was carved with blooming orchids, the color of wood was extremely good ??
Yun Hanxiao saw the orchids a few times in the house, so it could be seen that the Mrs. Lan really liked the flowers.
The little girl beside him turned on the light.
The light from the floor lamp was not dazzling, but it made the room look yellow through the screen.
The girl turned on the light, then closed the door and left.
In the room, there were only Yun Hanxiao and Mrs. Lan.
The house was very large, and when it was quiet, it became even quieter.
Yun Hanxiao heard the ancient clock ticking away, the sound was very quiet ??
Drop by drop, it caused chills to run down one's spine.
The Mrs. Lan first smiled at Yun Hanxiao, then walked over to the cupboard in front of the bed and retrieved the items.
It was a sealed leather file.
She passed the thing to Yun Hanxiao, "Open it up and take a look."
He gently tore it open. Inside was a picture.
The color of the photo was no longer bright, but the content was still clear.
The woman in the cheongsam was holding a swaddled baby.
The female dressed in the qipao was very young, from a certain point of view, she looked very similar to Yun Hanxiao.
Yun Hanxiao listened quietly, only hearing her say, "This is the only photo my daughter and I have together."
Yun Hanxiao looked up at her. In reality, this kind of noble woman could not imagine how she could be similar to Yun Hanxiao. However, in that old picture, the girl who looked down and looked at her beloved child gently, was indeed similar to Yun Hanxiao in terms of temperament.
