Apocalypse Rebirth: Commander, Don’t Move!

Want to Know the Truth

“It's in a red glass box!” It's no wonder grandma can find it if it changes color.

“Yes, so it's with you.” Li Dongmei touched the ring with a soft smile on her lips, “Qiqi said you might find it, and sure enough…” 

“Grandma, did mother tell you about the origin of this ring?” Sure enough, her mother must have something to hide from her.

Li Dongmei sighed and shook her head, “Your mother didn't say anything that day.”

The room fell silent, only the little meatball was in Bai Ling's arms, and her fleshy little hands were pulling the zipper on her sportswear bag, playing vigorously.

“Then, grandma, can you tell me what kind of work my mother did, and in which city did she do it? Or, tell me about my mother's past, okay?” Bai Ling wanted to know the origin of this ring, because her mother took it too seriously and had a close relationship with the Celestial Sword, she said she knew, what should she know?

Li Dongmei looked embarrassed, and explained, “This…
Lingling, you know, grandma and grandpa were really poor at that time, and they couldn't afford to send your mother to study.
Later, some educational institution came to the village to inspect.
Yes, the village organized a few children to study temporarily.
Your mother has been smart since she was a child, so she learned the fastest.
She would have dealt with that leader, but she didn’t expect that leader to come instead.
Exam papers, let the children including your mother take the exam together.”

Speaking of this, Li Dongmei was a little happy, as if recalling the past, “Your mother only studied for a month, but she got full marks in the exam.” Looking at Bai Ling, she frowned.

“Grandma? Isn't it good that my mother got a perfect score in the exam?”

“No…it's good, let your grandpa and I know that children must study, but we were poor at that time.” Li Dongmei's eyes were full of helplessness and a trace of guilt, “In order to allow your mother to get better learning opportunities, we listened to the village chief and sent her to that person.
I heard that it was a professor, and he promised again and again that he would treat the child well.
Your mother is also very sensible, and every time she comes back, she secretly brings us things, and even…gives us money, but how dare your grandfather and I ask for it!”

Speaking of this, Li Dongmei smiled again, “Although I have missed a lot of opportunities to get along with your mother, but seeing your mother come out graceful, and know so much, your grandfather and I don't regret it.” 

In that family at that time, she must not have learned much before getting married and repeating their poor life.

Her clever mind was completely buried.

Then she shook her head again, “Later, although your mother was filial, she didn't mention work every time she came back, she just said everything was fine, so we didn't ask much.” After all, they didn't understand much.

“Grandma, do you still remember that professor's name?” Bai Ling narrowed her eyes, and touched the tail ring unconsciously.

“I don't know his full name, and your mother never called him by his name in front of us.
We only know that he is called Professor Zhuge.” 

“Zhuge? This surname is rarely heard nowadays!” Bai Ling murmured.

Regarding Bai Ling's sudden desire to inquire about her mother, Li Dongmei did not ask after all.

She knew that Bai Ling saw her mother's death with her own eyes and her father's ruthlessness, this scar would never heal.
