Futuristic Chef Transmigrated As Mother Chapter 366 – 366 Mother and Daughter's Place

366 Mother and Daughter's Place

In order to stimulate her willpower, Xiaoguo said a lot. Unknowingly, she had revealed a lot of information. Yu Ling, who had secretly followed her, looked like she had lost her soul. She was in a daze and subconsciously wanted to step forward and ask for clarifications.

But reason held her back, telling her not to be so impulsive.

How was she going to accept the news that her mother was about to pass away?

At this moment, Yu Ling covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound that would scare the other two persons. Then, she staggered out of the place before anyone else did.

For some reason, she didn't want to face this issue directly, nor did she want to break the smile on her mother's face at this moment. Therefore, before her mind could accept the news, her body had already given her the answer.

She should have known. She should have known…

Her mother's abnormal expression, her cough, her pale face, and her increasingly waning figure…

She really should have noticed it earlier.

Yu Ling slapped herself remorsefully and cried as she did so. As she cried, she continued slapping herself. She only stopped reluctantly when she heard a voice coming from outside.

Knowing that she was not in the right state of mind to appear in front of her mother at this moment, Yu Ling forced herself to remain calm and sneaked out through the window.

After Xiaoguo and Zhao Yuyan separated, the latter quietly put down the shovel and entered the house as if nothing had happened. She called out to Yu Ling with a smile, but she couldn't find the girl. She couldn't help but wonder if Yu Ling had gone to get water again.

After running out, Yu Ling wanted to ask Xiaoguo what was going on, but just as she was about to catch up with her, she suddenly stopped herself.

Her mother had kept it from her because she didn't want her to know. Did she have to expose her?

But what if she heard wrongly?

At the thought of this, Yu Ling was a little hesitant. She had mixed feelings about whether she should clarify things. In the end, she decided to do so. If the matter had become an irreversible fact, she could not be muddle-headed and keep avoiding it.

“Madam!”

Yu Ling wiped her tears firmly and ran forward, calling out to Xiaoguo.

Hearing Yu Ling's voice, Xiaoguo stopped in her tracks and turned around to realize that it was really her. “Yu Ling?”

Yu Ling ran over, panting. The bangs on her head were wet and sticking to her forehead.

Seeing her like this, Xiaoguo subconsciously thought that she had come out to look for Zhao Yuyan and had gotten anxious because she couldn't find her. She quickly said, “Your mother has already gone back.”

In order to make things sound better, Xiaoguo even carefully made up an excuse. “I bumped into her on the way just now. It was your supervisor who summoned her to work. But don't worry. I've already asked your mother to go back. You should hurry back too.”

When Yu Ling heard this, her eyes started welling with tears again.

“What's wrong, Yu Ling?”

“Madam, tell me the truth. I know everything.”

“What do you know?”

Xiaoguo's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended not to understand her words.

“I followed you to the back of the mountains. I heard everything…”

Xiaoguo frowned when she heard that. She tried to recall how much she had said. “You know everything?”

Yu Ling nodded tearfully. “I know, I know everything.”

With that, she burst into tears.

Xiaoguo patted her helplessly and comforted her. “Yu Ling, your mother is really great. I admire her very much.”

Yu Ling cried and nodded. She sobbed and agreed, “That's right. My mother is a very great person in my heart!”

“But… but I don't want her to leave me. Why is she leaving me? How nice it will be if she can stay with me forever.”

“Yu Ling, no one in this world can stay by our sides forever. Everyone will reach their end one day. Moreover, death is not really a parting. Forgetting is. As long as your mother is still in your heart, she will always be by your side. It doesn't matter if you cannot see her in person.”

Yu Ling slowly stopped crying and looked at her with teary eyes. “Is that true?”

“Of course!” Xiaoguo nodded heavily and wiped her tears. She continued, “Your mother is just going to leave a little sooner. She will go to the next world to set up a new home for you.”

“Will I still be her child in my next life?”

“Of course!!”

Death was not a loss of life. It was just a passing of time. The living were passers-by, and the dead were returnees.

If being born into this world is a definite journey, then death is just setting off for a new one.

“Therefore, don't be afraid and don't be sad. Those who leave this world didn't leave their deceased relatives and friends. They had only taken on a super cool invisibility power to protect their loved ones.”

When Yu Ling heard this, she stopped feeling conflicted. She wiped the tears off her face and said firmly, “Madam, thank you!”

Xiaoguo rubbed her head and said gently, “It's okay. Go back and spend more time with your mother. If the butler asks you to work again, just ignore him. I'll handle it.”

“Also, rest well. In a few days, you and your mother will leave this island with me and live a new life outside.”

“Yes, yes!”

Yu Ling smiled and nodded. She waved goodbye and suddenly ran back. “Madam, don't tell my mother that I know about this. I don't want her to worry.”

Xiaoguo was stunned when she heard that. Then, she smiled and nodded. “Got it. I won't tell her!”

As she spoke, she made a mouth-sealing gesture.

When Yu Ling saw this, she blushed and smiled. After reminding her, she ran home in relief. Madam was right. She should cherish the present.

Xiaoguo was frightened by her reckless running. When she saw that she had run far away safely, she smiled to herself.

The daughter and mother were indeed carved from the same mold.

Zhao Yuyan told her not to tell Yu Ling about her illness, and Yu Ling asked her not to tell Zhao Yuyan that she already knew. They were keeping secrets from each other. In fact, their love for each other was deeper than the other.

As the weight in her heart had been lifted, Xiaoguo was feeling exceptionally happy. Although Jiang Danhe was happy for her, he did not forget to remind her.

Jiang Danhe turned over and lay on his side while looking at Xiaoguo. “Are you very happy?”

“I'm so happy!”

Xiaoguo put her hands behind her head and smiled so widely that her cheeks were almost reaching her forehead.

“But someone seemed to have forgotten something.”

“Who are you referring to?”

Xiaoguo wasn't really paying attention. Then she realized that he was referring to her. Her interest was piqued. She sat up and asked him, “Me? What did I forget?”

“My dear wife, what are you going to do with Zhao Yuyan and her daughter? Where do you intend to settle them?”

“Sigh… I naturally have a plan. Do you think I'm hot-blooded and have no regard for the consequences?”

Xiaoguo didn't know that he was referring to this. It was only a small matter. She had already thought about it. Since Zhao Yuyan had entrusted Yu Ling to her, she will plan for her future.

Her cows were going to produce milk soon. She was thinking of renting a shop to sell plain milk, milk tea, and milk desserts. It would be hard for her to handle everything alone. If Yu Ling was willing, she could come work with her.

Zhao Yuyan's body was in bad shape, so she wouldn't be able to hold on for long. When the time came, she would help Yu Ling to settle Zhao Yuyan's funeral.

A long time ago, she had thought of being a remote boss and leaving the job to Su Changsheng. She would provide the milk and recipes for him and he would manage the rest.

However, this was a partnership after all. Small conflicts were inevitable. It was better to set up a stall herself. In any case, she had nothing to do. It was better to keep herself busy.

Moreover, she could still collaborate with Su Changsheng. She didn't have a big appetite. She could just open a small shop in Yonghai County. Not only could she help Zhuang Zhuang with his studies, she would also have something to keep her preoccupied.

If Su Changsheng was agreeable, she could still provide him with the recipes and milk so that he could develop his business elsewhere.
