The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 97

"Dad, mom..."

Mango called out softly, but Nathaniel clenched her fists again. He whispered, "Think clear, if you tell them your identity now, maybe you can stop them from going abroad and those people who try to take advantage of your parents won't succeed. If you need, I will prove it to them at the earliest moment that you are their daughter."

There was a hint of expectation in Nathaniel's eyes.

No one in the world expected Mango to admit her identity more than he did, because once she admitted it, she would be the Young Madam of Ye Family, and she would be the wife of Nathaniel, who had been officially married to him!

Feeling Nathaniel's eager and expectant eyes, Mango really wanted to admit it for a moment. She didn't know if it was because of Nathaniel, but just by looking at how old her parents had become in front of her, she had already burst into tears.

Five years later, the hair on her parents' temples turned completely grey, and her mother's face was covered by wrinkles, her charm back then had been long gone.

Although she didn't know what kind of life they had lived for the past five years, it was obviously that they were not doing very well.

Nathaniel was right. As long as she revealed her identity, her parents probably would not be manipulated by others, but she could not tell them now.

Mango's heart was being torn violently. The pain was a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't even stand up. She could only maintain her balance by leaning on Nathaniel.

"Let me lean on your shoulder a bit."

This was the first time that Mango had been friendly with Nathaniel since she returned to China. She kind of needed Nathaniel.

Nathaniel distressedly put his arm around her shoulder, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

He knew Mango as if he knew himself. From Mango's eyes, he had already found the answer.

Mango didn't want to admit her identity!

This made Nathaniel very puzzled, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Mango said in low voice, "I want to go back to the car and get something. Help me to stop them first."

"Do you need my help?"

Nathaniel was a little worried that Mango was going back to the car alone. Her face at the moment looked as if she would pass out at any time.

Mango shook her head and said, "No, I can do it myself."

After saying that, she let go of Nathaniel and quickly turned around, afraid that her parents would feel suspicious by seeing her tears.

Looking at her staggering back, Nathaniel felt a twinge of pain in his eyes.

He didn't know what Mango was going to do, but since she wanted to do something, he just let her do it.

Seeing Mango walking in the direction of the car, Nathaniel did not waste any time and he quickly walked toward the parents of the the Shen family.

"Dad, mom, where are you going?"

Since five years ago, Nathaniel had been taking care of the old couple of the the Shen family as his own parents.

At the beginning, Mr. Shen got angry when he saw Nathaniel, little did he care that he was a big shot in Ocean City. When he saw Nathaniel, he would beat him. No matter what he saw, he would grab it and throw it toward Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel never hid or resisted. He just let Mr. Shen vent his anger. Even when Mr. Shen had a heart problem and got hospitalized in the middle of the night, he took care of Mr. Shen by his bed for more than a week as if he was his own son, leaving all of his family business behind.

Later, Mrs. Shen also got over it. Her daughter had died, she didn't even leave a child for Ye Family or the Shen Family. There was only one son-in-law left, a man whom her daughter was desperate to marry at any cost. What was the point of continuing to make things difficult for him?

Mrs. Shen finally let go and began to treat Nathaniel as her son-in-law. Gradually, Mr. Shen's attitude also changed a little.

Five years later, the old couple had treated Nathaniel as their own son.

Seeing Nathaniel rushing over, Mrs. Shen excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Nathan, we have news about Mango. They said that she is still alive!"

"They? Who are they?"

Nathaniel keenly caught hold of this word.

Although Mr. Shen was more calm than Mrs. Shen, he also showed some excitement.

"Nathan, I don't know who they are, but your mother and I received a photo of her. It's a photo of Mango. It's been five years, we thought this girl was no longer alive, but unexpectedly, she is still alive and doing fine. But the person said that five years ago, due to the damage from that fire, Mango's head had been hit, and she had lost her memory. Your mother and I want to go over there and see her. Maybe we can remind her of something. We're both old, and she is the only daughter we have. Back then, we pushed her out for some self-esteem and dignity of our family. Had we known she would go through this, I would never want to lose this daughter even if all the people in Ocean City were condemning us!"

Mr. Shen's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Mango came back unnoticed. When she heard what Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen had said, the tears came out again. But she quickly wiped it off. She was also very curious. Who would send a letter to her parents and tell them the truth that she was still alive?

And what would she look like in the photo?

The appearance on her face now?

Mango suddenly felt a little expectant. Although she had been telling herself that she could not admit her identity, at least for now, she was still excited when she heard that her parents already had her photo.

As long as her parents recognized her, she would have to reunite with them regardless of anything else.
