Chapter 30: Hug
Madam Ruan nodded quickly, "Yes, yes there is."
Old Lady Ruan abruptly looked at her, flustered and exasperated, "What do you mean? Could it be that you'd rather believe this girl of unknown origin than your own mother? Why would I bring a fake one to impersonate Erya?"
Madam Ruan shuddered. Shu Yu stood in front of her and sneered at the obviously diffident Old Lady Ruan, "Why are you so nervous? Didn't you say it yourself? A mother will definitely know whether or not Erya is real. Oh right, you must have been so flustered when you stole Erya that you probably didn't notice anything else. You only knew that she had two moles on her arm. "
"I, I..." Old Lady Ruan was speechless.
She really didn't know what kind of birthmarks Erya had on her body. At that time, she didn't even have time to run. After handing the baby over, she took the money and quickly hid.
After all, the other party wanted a boy. She had cheated the buyer.
Under such circumstances, she did not even have the time to open Erya's swaddle.
Old Lady Ruan wanted to refute, but Shuyu did not give her the chance.
She turned to look at Madam Ruan, "Tell me, what other birthmarks can prove that I'm really Erya?"
Madam Ruan calmed down. Perhaps it was because she saw Shu Yu's calm appearance that she could not help but feel at ease.
She took a deep breath and said, "Can I take a look at the back of your necks? Erya has a birthmark the size of a rice grain on her nape."
The Lu family had never told anyone about this.
Moreover, there were so many people in the courtyard, as well as outside, so it wasn't appropriate to talk about other body parts either.
Old Lady Ruan and the young lady looked at each other and wanted to make a scene.
However, Shu Yu had already brushed her hair to one side and calmly let Madam Ruan see her nape.
She couldn't see the back of her neck, so she didn't know if there was such a birthmark. But she knew that the Dongqing Temple master's investigation couldn't be wrong.
With just one look, Madam Ruan's tears flowed out uncontrollably.
If she had only believed it 80 to 90% just now, after seeing the birthmark on the back of Shu Yu's neck, Madam Ruan was sure that she was Erya.
"It's you. You're Erya, my daughter," Madam Ruan started crying and hugged Shu Yu, "Erya, I've missed you so much. I almost thought that I would never see you again in my life. Erya, you're finally back. Sob..."
Shu Yu was taken aback by her hug. How many years had it been since she had been hugged by someone with such strong emotions?
In her previous life, her parents died early, and she had been bent on revenge. To climb up the societal ladder, she sometimes even resorted to unscrupulous means. She had rarely made any close friends, trusted anyone, and even rejected relationships that made her feel restrained.
No one had ever hugged her. As such, even though she had climbed higher and higher in her previous life, she had always been alone. She was always alone on the road leading to the future.
Now, in the face of Madam Ruan's crying, Shu Yu didn't know where to put her hands and was at a loss for a reaction.
After a long time, she raised her hand slightly and patted Madam Ruan's back awkwardly and stiffly. She said in a low voice, "Don't cry."
"Yes, I'll stop crying. It's a happy thing that you're home. How can I cry?" Madam Ruan finally let go of Shu Yu reluctantly. She wiped her tears and looked up at the latter carefully, from her forehead to her nose to her mouth. It was as if she didn't want to let go of a single hair.
Shu Yu felt uncomfortable being stared at. She was about to say something to divert her attention when she heard a scream of horror.
