The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 99

Mrs. Shen subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but she was stopped by Mango.

"Auntie, let me do it."

Mango's eyes were a little serious.

Mrs. Shen suddenly felt this kind of look so familiar. It made her shiver all over, and a bold idea flashed through her mind.

However, she did not change her expression and just pulled back her hand gently.

Mango didn't pay too much attention to Mrs. Shen's action. All her thoughts were all taken away by the phone in front of her.

Who was calling?

Could it be the man who wanted to trick his parents to go abroad?

Mango answered the phone with a serious look. "Who is it?"

Mango's voice was cold and clear. That person seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then quickly hung up the phone.

With the busy tone came from the phone, Mango's heart sank.

If it was a wrong call or from an acquaintance, it was impossible for that person to just hang up the phone without saying a word, unless that person didn't want her to recognize his voice, or for some other reasons. But no matter what the reason was, Mango was a little alert.

"What's wrong? Who's calling?"

Mrs. Shen had been observing Mango for a long time. Suddenly, she found there was a lot in common between her and her daughter.

Mango said with some concern, "Auntie, I think someone may want to cheat and control you by pretending they knew Mango. Although I don't know what that person wants to do, if you believe me, no matter what kind of letter or phone call you have received, please tell me. I don't want Mango to worry about you two."

If it had been before, Mrs. Shen might not have listened to her. But now, the more she looked at Mango, the more she felt familiar. She trembled and took Mango's hand and said, "I will listen to whatever you say. You should be careful yourself, okay?"

Mango became all excited, but she had to suppress it, so she could only nod.

Mrs. Shen said to her, "Since you are a good friend of Mango, go to her room to rest for a while. I can see that you are very tired. When the dinner is ready, I will call you."

Mango was indeed a little tired, but she was reluctant to use this time to rest. Mrs. Shen insisted, so she had to go back to her own room.

It looked exactly the same as before she got married. It was even all tidy and clean without a speckle of dust. It was so obvious that her parents had missed her so much. Without Mrs. Shen by her side, Mango could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

She stroked the photo on the bedside table. It was taken when she was still at home. She looked so youthful and glamorous, but she felt so strange at this moment.

Five years had passed, and the plastic surgery had almost made her forget her original look. Now seeing this photo, memories flashed through her mind. Thinking of her parents' care for her, and coupled with the fact that her parents had grown old, Mango sat at the bedside, sobbing silently.

Her shoulders were twitching.

Mrs. Shen didn't close the door in the first place. After she heard the sound in the room, she gently opened the door and saw Mango holding the photo and crying.

Mango put down the photo and seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, she got up and went to the bottom of the bed, she crawled under the bed and found a box.

She carefully took out the box.

Since no one knew the existence of this small box, so it was covered with a layer of dust.

Mango gently wiped the dust away and then opened it.

Inside the box, were all the birthday gifts from her parents over the years since she was young, it was filled with jewelry.

There was even a family picture of the three of them. Mango covered her mouth and cried again.

Mrs. Shen's body trembled, and she simply couldn't wait to go inside and ask her about it, but she finally held it back.

She gently closed the door and walked to Mr. Shen's side.

Looking at his wife's teary eyes, Mr. Shen thought that she was missing her daughter while chatting with Mango, so he had to comfort her. "Isn't there news about Mango? We will see her sooner or later. Don't worry. Compared with her previous death, it's the best news for us to know that she is still alive, isn't it?"

Mrs. Shen closed the door of the study, grabbed Mr. Shen's hand and said, "darling, I suspect that Katherine is our daughter, Mango."

"What are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? Although Katherine is beautiful, she is no match to our Mango."

Mr. Shen at once thought that Mrs. Shen was out of her mind.

But Mrs. Shen shook her head and said, "No, I just sent her to Mango's bedroom and let her rest there, but I didn't close the door. Through the crack of the door, I saw that she was very familiar with the Mango's room. She even found the things that Mango secretly hid. Moreover, she kept crying since she entered the room. She told us that Mango's appearance had been damaged from that big fire five years ago, and that she looked different from what we used to know when we meet again. I took a closer look at her and found out that her face features with her eyes in particular, looked very similar to Mango. Do you still remember? Mango's eyes look like you."

After listening to his wife's words, Mr. Shen was also a little stunned.

"But if she is really Mango, why doesn't she reunite with us? And Nathan, why did he also help her to hide it from us?"

"There may be some difficulties between them. I can tell that Nathan treats her really nicely, but she is just very cold to Nathan. We don't know what is going on between them. Since the children don't want to tell us, we don't need to ask. As long as she comes back."

Mrs. Shen said as she wiped her tears.

Mr. Shen pondered for a moment and said, "I'll tell them to cook a few of Mango's favorite dishes in the kitchen, and also a few things that she doesn't like to eat. Don't talk during the meal. Let's observe her more. After all, it's a big thing."

"Well, it's up to you! But since she doesn't want us to go abroad, then we won't go out. I always feel strange about this matter. At first, I was only happy when I learned the news about Mango. But now think about it, it has been five years, and there hasn't been any news about Mango at all. Why did someone suddenly find us and tell us that they knew where she was?"
