Chapter 5 — Happy Home

6 On the other end of the line was a young girl's voice, carrying some timidity. “Excuse me… are you the lady of the Ky family?” “It's me, may I ask?” "My name is La Dao Dao, I'm... aunt Vuong's niece." Aunt Vuong? The nanny I fired? My heart was immediately alert. “Is something wrong?” “Lady Ky, please don't misunderstand, I have no malicious intentions.” La Dao Dao's voice sounded like she was about to cry, "My aunt... after being dismissed by her wife, she was always very sad and her health was not good." “I know she may have done some wrong things in the past that made her unhappy.” “But she really misses the little master.” "Look, ma'am, maybe... can I take you to see the young master from afar for once?" “Just this once, we promise not to disturb everyone's lives.” I frowned slightly. My impression of Aunt Vuong is very bad. In the surveillance camera footage, although she did not abuse Ky Tu Vien, that suffocating control made me very uncomfortable. I don't want Tu Vien to see her again. “Sorry, I find this unnecessary.” “Lady Ky!” La Dao Dao's voice was hurried, "I beg you, ma'am, my aunt really... really misses the little young master." “Furthermore, in her hand… there are also some things related to the young master's biological mother, I think, maybe you will be interested.” “Relating to Tu Vien's biological mother?” "Yes." La Dao Dao's voice lowered, "Relating to... the young master's biological mother." My heart trembled slightly. Ky Tu Vien's biological mother has always been a taboo subject in the Ky family. Ky Vi An never proactively mentioned it. All I know is that she passed away from illness not long after giving birth to Tu Vien. Aunt Vuong is the Ky family's long-time nanny, so it's not surprising that she knows a little about the inside story. I hesitated. “Where do you want to meet?” "Even the coffee shop near your house is fine, is that okay? We won't take up too much of your time." "Okay." After hanging up the phone, I still felt uneasy. This girl named La Dao Dao, appeared so suddenly. Furthermore, her words sounded like a trap everywhere. But I still decided to go see. I want to know what she really wants. Also want to know the secret about Ky Tu Vien's biological mother. In the afternoon, I arranged for Tu Vien to stay at home and play with the housekeeper. Then go alone to the appointed cafe. La Dao Dao has arrived. She looked to be in her early twenties, had a delicate face, wore a white dress, and looked obedient and harmless. Seeing me, she immediately stood up and smiled shyly. “Lady Ky, you're here.” I nodded and sat down across from her. “Where is what you said?” She took out an envelope from her pocket and pushed it in front of me. “Lady Ky, please look at this first.” I opened the envelope, inside were a few photos. In the photo is a very beautiful woman, holding a baby wrapped in diapers. The woman smiled gently, her facial features somewhat similar to Tu Vien's. “This is…” “This is the young master's biological mother, Miss To Tinh.” La Dao Dao said, "My aunt told me that that year Miss To and Mr. To loved each other very much, but only regretted that their beauty was destined to fail." "These photos are relics left by Ms. To, always kept by my aunt." I looked at the photos and felt a bit complicated. “What do you mean by showing me these things?” La Dao Dao bit her lip, her eyes turning red. “Lady Ky, I know what I am about to say may be a bit offensive.” “But, my aunt is real I'm very worried about the little young master." "The aunt said that although the lady treats the young master very well, she is not his biological mother after all." "The young master is still young and doesn't understand things. When he grows up, knowing his true identity, will he...will he resent her?" "She's afraid that Madam... will replace Miss To's position in the young master's heart." I laughed coldly. “Is that so? So what do you want to say? “I want…” La Dao Dao took a deep breath, as if gathering all her courage, “I want to beg you, ma'am, can I… leave the Ky family?” I felt like I heard the biggest joke in the world. “What did you say?” "Lady Ky, you and sir are just getting married for business, there is no love." La Dao Dao's voice began urgently, "Madam needs money, the Ky family can give it, give a lot of money, enough for the lady and her family to live comfortably for the rest of their lives." “Just… ma'am give up her position to Lady Ky.” "Cede? Yield to whom?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at her calmly, "For you?" Her face turned pale, but she quickly regained composure. “I… I just feel sorry for you and the young master.” "Sir, it's too hard to be alone, young master also needs a mother who truly loves him." "And I, since I was a child, have heard my aunt tell stories about Mr. and Ms. To. I admire him very much, and... also like young master very much." “If I can take care of them, I will definitely treat the young master as my own son.” It's over. After going around for a while, it turns out it's because of this. What aunt misses the young master, what is her biological mother's relics. It's all just an excuse to approach the Ky family, to climb higher. It's true... a discreet mind. I picked up the coffee cup on the table and slowly took a sip. “Miss La, have you read too many novels?” “Do you think you're the pregnant heroine running away, or the story's replacement, White Moon Light?” “Just relying on you, do you still want to marry into the Ky family?”
