Chapter 10 Mom!
Li Xia held a rice ball in his hand, his expression peculiar. Her opening had a strong sense of ancient Yan country online literature.
Seeing his unusual expression, this was also within Kirigiri Shimizu's expectations. She pulled out a stack of documents from her personal file bag, gently placed them on the dining table, and continued:
"My enemies attacked me when I was weak. Although my teammates fought back desperately, outnumbered, I could only escape from Jinsha First Hospital with my newborn baby. In the chase, to protect my child, I placed him in the roadside bushes."
Here, her tone remained icy, but her speech slowed down a lot, her eyes fixed on Li Xia: "When I managed to escape by luck and went back to that thicket, I couldn't find it no matter what."
"No... wait!" Li Xia quickly put down the rice ball in his hand. She didn't need to continue this vulgar story; everyone knew what happened next.
Moreover, she just mentioned that she lost her child in Jinsha, but she's from Japan. So, he waves his hand: "Even if you dress mature, you're probably only 20 years old, and you're from Tokyo. Why did you go to Yan country to have a child? Besides, I'm not from Jinsha at all. This is too far-fetched."
Li Xia's gaze suddenly stopped at Kirigiri Shimizu's chest. There is no doubt that she is a genuine beauty, but her chest is rather ordinary. If she had given birth, there would have been milk, and it would not have the shape of a young girl like this.
He looked at Kirigiri Shimizu. If it was a lie, her words had too many loopholes. He wanted to see how she would explain it.
"...," Kirigiri Shimizu clearly did not expect him to focus on this point. Her expression froze for a moment, but quickly recovered. She took out an old photograph from the file and handed it over. "Because your father is from the Yan Kingdom."
"This...," Li Xia put down his rice ball and reached out to take the photo. It was a typical hospital bed, with a weak-looking woman lying on it, exactly like the current Kirigiri Shimizu.
Beside her, there was a baby the size of a palm. Kirigiri Shimizu tilted her head and looked at the baby on the pillow with an affectionate gaze, her eyes filled with emotion.
Standing next to her was a handsome young man. His appearance, just like Li Xia, didn't require any confirmation of their blood relationship. He also looked at the baby with surprise on his face.
"Did anything come to mind?" Kirigiri Shimizu looked at Li Xia. "This was taken at the First Hospital in Chang County, Yan Kingdom. It's simple to check the hospital records now."
Li Xia looked at the photo, then looked up at Kirigiri Shimizu and pointed at the photo. "Is this person dead?"
If the woman in front of him was trying to impersonate his mother, then this man couldn't possibly exist. Death would be the best reason.
However, Kirigiri Shimizu shook her head and whispered, "He's living in Yan Kingdom. It won't be long before you can meet him."
Li Xia was dumbfounded. Meeting him? This was different from what he had expected.
"Do you want a video call?" Kirigiri Shimizu took out her phone. "I've told him about you, and he really wants to meet you. Of course, if you're not ready, we can give you some time to calm down. These eighteen years, we believed that you were still alive, so we never gave up on finding you. We just didn't expect..."
She paused for a moment. "We didn't expect that you were taken to Japan."
She didn't reveal everything she knew because if what she said was true, then Li Xia was likely picked up and taken away by someone, someone who chose to hide the child instead of reporting it. This was deeply unsettling.
"Wait... wait, let me calm down," Li Xia wasn't in the mood to eat the rice ball at this moment. He covered his forehead with one hand. Kirigiri Shimizu's chain of evidence was extremely solid. From a logical standpoint, it was impossible to deceive him anymore. Because everything she said could be easily verified, there was no possibility of deception.
Moreover, according to her words, the parents who raised her, aren't they...
Seeing his ever-changing expression, Kirigiri Shimizu didn't rush him. Everything was within her plan.
Of course, the photo was fake. As a person with real power in the Special Affairs Department, faking a photo was a simple matter. As for the baby in the photo, human babies all look similar, so it was impossible to identify. When standing next to a man who bore an eight-point resemblance to him, naturally, a subconscious suggestion would arise that this is his true identity.
The seemingly complete chain of evidence followed the same logic. Naturally, she couldn't tamper with the official data of the Yan Nation, but that wasn't important.
Because the mission was to make Li Xia believe within a month that she was his biological mother, intentionally separating the place of birth was also for this reason. The purpose was simply to prevent him from proving it false within a short period of time.
The second purpose was to make him doubt his own identity. In moments of psychological confusion, it would be easier for her to gain his trust.
The false father figure, unable to return within a month, was also reasonable.
The asymmetry of information between the two destined Kirigiri Shimizu to have a significant advantage, and she believed so.
Kirigiri Shimizu reached out, grasping Li Xia's hand, her voice gentle: "Don't dwell on the past. I'm grateful to them for raising you. I believe they've given you the best they could. I don't require you to sever ties with anyone. They're your parents, and we are too. Once I sort out my work next month, we'll go together to Yan Nation. We'll get along well."
Feeling his hand being held, Li Xia sensed a hint of warmth in Kirigiri Shimizu's icy expression.
At that moment, he almost believed, but calling a woman his age "mom" was still something he couldn't do.
Seeing the atmosphere soften, Kirigiri Shimizu took out a black card from her pocket and handed it to Li Xia: "There's ten million in here, your allowance from Mom. You've suffered these years. Buy whatever you want."
"Mom!" Li Xia's eyes brimmed with emotion as he called out, his voice filled with feelings.
"..." Kirigiri Shimizu was startled by his sudden change of heart, not knowing how he had suddenly figured it out, but quickly adjusted her emotions and nodded at him.
She handed over the rice ball: "This is the first bento my mother made for you. I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
"I..." Li Xia's voice choked, reaching out to take the rice ball, trembling as he put it in his mouth, his eyes were open red, as if desperately trying to hold back tears.
Kirigiri Shimizu saw his reaction, looked down at her watch, the system time was just about right, everything was going according to plan, she didn't expect to lose.
