Chapter 2423: Chapter 2423: Who Gave You This Photo?
Diwu Zexuan’s familiar face was sketched repeatedly in Meimei’s sketchbook; fingers almost wore the pages thin.
"Miss, the little miss is awake and looking for her mother," the butler approached respectfully, quietly reminding as he observed Ye Mingmei’s pale face.
"Awake?" Ye Mingmei’s eyes flickered. She stood up from the sofa, picked up the sketchbook and photographs from the table, and walked towards the room.
Inside the room, Meimei sat on the bed, her small hands made into fists rubbing her eyes. Seeing Ye Mingmei enter, she leaped into her arms, sweetly calling, "Mommy."
"Did you sleep well?" Ye Mingmei looked at her daughter’s delicate little face, using her fingers to tuck back the stray hairs on both sides of her cheeks.
"Yes!" Meimei snuggled in her arms, her face full of joy.
She saw her daddy yesterday, and that night she dreamed that daddy came back to pick her and mommy up!
Thinking of this, Meimei’s little face was all smiles.
"Meimei, Mommy wants to apologize to you. If Mommy looked at your things without your permission, can you forgive her?" Ye Mingmei pulled her daughter out of the covers and sat her on her lap.
She looked earnestly at Meimei.
Meimei met her gaze, looked for a while, seeming to hesitate. After a few seconds, she nodded, "Mommy cares about Meimei; Meimei won’t be angry."
"..."
Ye Mingmei’s throat tightened, as if something was stuck. Hearing such considerate words from her daughter made the question she was about to ask suddenly hard to voice.
"Mommy, is this Meimei’s sketchbook? How did it end up here?"
Meimei’s big, crystalline eyes blinked. Seeing the sketchbook and photographs in Ye Mingmei’s hand, her small body froze, confusedly looking at Ye Mingmei.
The next second, her whole demeanor became tense.
Carefully, she raised her head, as if afraid Ye Mingmei would be upset.
"Mommy wants to know, who gave you this photo? Do you know who the person in the photo is?" Ye Mingmei took the photo from the sketchbook and handed it to Meimei.
Meimei swallowed, staring at the photo, her lips tightly pressed together.
"Can’t you even tell mommy?"
Meimei suddenly looked up, "It was Mr. Diwu. I couldn’t finish my homework, so I told Mr. Diwu because I was unhappy, and he gave me the photo, saying it was daddy."
"Diwu Zexuan..."
Ye Mingmei’s eyes widened in shock. She never expected that it was Diwu Zexuan who gave Meimei the photo of Yu Xiuzhun.
In this world, the person the Ye Family owed the most was Diwu Zexuan.
Not to mention that Diwu Zexuan merely pitied Meimei and let her know the truth early. Even if he had done something excessive, Ye Mingmei could not bring herself to say anything reproachful.
"Did your Mr. Diwu tell you anything other than this is your daddy?" Ye Mingmei softly asked, caressing Meimei’s cheek.
Meimei lowered her head, not daring to look Ye Mingmei in the eye, her small hands tightly clenched together, "Mommy, Meimei has a daddy. Daddy is just sick and can’t come back to be with me, right?"
"Did Mr. Diwu tell you this as well?" Ye Mingmei’s eyes flickered with indescribable shock and surprise, her eyes immediately widening!
"Knock knock——"
The room was suddenly knocked on, and the butler’s voice sounded outside the door.
