When she gave birth to Xiao Bao and Little Star, she felt like she finally found the reason to live. Her heart that had long remained cold and unfeeling was overwhelmed with unconditional love for her children.
It didn't matter who fathered her child because the moment her eyes set on the pair of twins, Tang Moyu knew she could never love someone or anyone as fiercely as she loved them.
But how come her mother looks at her and treats her like a stranger? No. Tang Moyu corrected herself. They treated strangers better than her; their own flesh and blood.
She escorted her grandfather inside and they were welcomed by the homey and inviting atmosphere the interior offered. It was the kind of place one would like for comfort.
It seemed like everyone was already here as she saw children playing near the grand piano, with the adults crowding the living area while her uncles were in the garden roasting meat on the grill.
If she didn't know this was a family meeting, Tang Moyu would have thought that they were throwing a house party right now. More of her relatives whose names she'd forgotten arrived.
The lunch started without preamble and while her relatives conversed on how to save the company, Tang Moyu remained silent. She excused herself after finishing her meal and went to the garden to clear her mind.
Her aunts and uncles, as well as her cousins, arrived today only to be informed of the grave situation the company was. She recalled some of them needed their share of the profits to maintain the lifestyle they were accustomed to. There's no doubt that they wouldn't be happy with the news they received today.
"Sister Moyu? What are you doing here?"
Tang Moyu turned around and saw her cousin, Lu Tianxin walking towards her with a young boy clinging on her skirt.
"Tianxin," she gave her cousin a curt nod. "How have you been?"
Lu Tianxin, her cousin who was at least three years younger than her, had classic beautiful features compared to Tang Moyu's cold beauty. She could have been a popular model with that kind of face if it wasn't for her smaller stature at 158 centimeters, which could barely reach Tang Moyu's shoulder who was obviously taller at 176 centimeters.
Lu Tianxin had a smile that reminded Tang Moyu of a Cheshire cat. When they were younger, Tianxin was always caught up with mischief with Li Meili and it was Moyu who had to clean after their mess.
"Darling, why don't you play with your cousins first?
Mommy need to talk to Auntie Moyu for a bit." Lu Tianxin told her child.
