"I'm sorry, Mrs. Yamamoto." Chen Yang said with a little apology.

Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's all over..."

"By the way, Mr. Chen, you haven't told me yet, what is your mother's name?"

Chen Yang hesitated for a while, and said awkwardly: "Mrs. Yamamoto, it's really not my intention to hide it."

"My family situation is rather special. I don't know my mother's maiden name."

"Well, even my father doesn't know..."

"Ah?" Kuroda Yusuke and Li Xianshu were both stunned.

Is there any son in the world who doesn’t know his mother’s name?

What a joke...

Chen Yang sighed and said, "You may not believe it, but this is indeed the fact."

"My father had a tragic fate. He lost his father when he was young, and when he was only a teenager, he followed the caravan in a small sampan to do business with foreigners in the open sea..."

"Once, when I was trading porcelain in the open sea, I ran into a ship transporting pigs..."

"Pig flower?" This word left the two confused.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "In the past, foreign compradors took advantage of the chaos to kidnap people and load them onto cargo ships, then sold them to Southeast Asia to work."

"The male is called Piglet, and the female is called Pigflower."

Li Xianshu was shocked when she heard this and nodded to show her understanding.

Chen Yang continued, "At that time, my mother was being whipped by the foreman, and my father felt sorry for her, so he bought her back for 20 yuan."

"My mother was unlucky. She lived with my father for less than three years and died during childbirth..."

“I grew up with my father.”

"Mr. Chen's situation is really sympathetic." Li Xianshu sighed and said, "Do you really know nothing about your mother?"

"I really don't have any impression." Chen Yang touched his nose and said, "My father said that my mother couldn't tell where she came from or where she was from. She has been wandering since she can remember."

"She only remembered her nickname was Lanlan, but she didn't remember her surname or her full name."

"By the way, Mrs. Yamamoto, why are you asking this?"

Li Xianshu sighed and said, "To be honest, I have a younger sister. We were separated 35 years ago due to some changes in our family."

"I have been looking for her in China for more than 20 years, but I have never found any clues until Kuroda-kun said he found a Chinese youth who looks exactly like Ryosuke."

"I didn't believe there were such coincidences in the world until I saw you."

"I have reason to believe that you should be my sister's son."

What? Chen Yang was shocked.

Before he could speak, Li Xianshu smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, don't panic. I know it's hard for you to accept it all at once."

"We can give each other some time and let everyone try to get along."

Looking at Li Shuxian's gentle smile, Chen Yang's heart was beating fast.

What are they playing at?

Chen Yang thought about his recent actions, and there didn't seem to be any clues.

If something happened on Yoshikawa's side, there would be no need to use a consul to set up a trap and trick himself.

The position of consul is not something that ordinary people can achieve. Yoshikawa is not that capable of convincing the consul to test him.

Besides, Mrs. Yamamoto is not an ordinary person.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Chen Yang vaguely felt that Kuroda Yusuke’s attitude towards Mrs. Yamamoto was somewhat humble, like a subordinate treating his superior.

This feeling is incredible. A consul actually maintains a subordinate attitude towards an old lady who does not hold any position. What is going on?

"Mrs. Yamamoto, I don't know how to describe my current mood." Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "I am working alone outside, and I don't know how to interact with my relatives."

"I hope you don't mind..."

"Of course. In fact, this news is also unexpected to me," Li Xianshu said softly, "Mr. Chen, don't feel too much psychological burden."

"You just need to know that you still have someone you can rely on in this world."

"Come, come, eat some food,"

Li Xianshu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hurriedly invited Chen Yang to eat.

The meal lasted more than an hour. During the whole process, Li Shuxian spoke very little and kept her eyes on Chen Yang.

It was always Kuroda Yusuke who found topics to talk about, asking Chen Yang about his life, career and other daily matters.

Chen Yang answered in a disjointed manner...

After finishing their meal, the two men got up, walked Chen Yang to the door, and watched him leave.

Until the figure gradually disappeared, the smile on Li Xianshu's face, which had originally looked kind, slowly disappeared.

"Kuroda-kun, what kind of person do you think Chen Yang is..."

Kuroda Yusuke smiled and said, "Very honest and straightforward, just like Ryosuke, he is a rare good kid."

"Really?" Li Shuxian raised the corner of her mouth slightly and sneered, "Ryosuke can't compare to him."

"Do you know that when he talks to you, ten out of ten sentences are false..."

Kuroda Yusuke was stunned and said in a lost voice: "No way, I see that his eyes and tone are very sincere, how could he be lying?"

"People's eyes and expressions can't lie." Li Xianshu said slowly: "I have observed him for a long time. When he talks to you, his eyes will unconsciously turn upwards."

"This is because the memory in his mind is unfamiliar with this image and needs to conceive a detailed image to respond to the question you gave him."

"In simple terms, it means telling lies..."

“Also, although his expression remained smiling throughout, it was always on the upper half of his face, with the lower half sometimes showing a slightly pulled expression.”

"Do you know what this means?"

Kuroda Yusuke was slightly stunned and asked, "What does it mean?"

"It means he doesn't agree with what you said and thinks your question is a bit stupid..."

"Ah," Kuroda Yusuke suddenly smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, Kuroda-kun, this is good," Li Xianshu smiled, "This child is very smart."

"It's a pity that he was born ten years late. If I had met him ten years ago, I could have trained him to be Ryosuke's successor."

"The president doesn't have to work so hard every day..."

Kuroda Yusuke was startled and said, "Mrs. Yamamoto, he is Chinese..."

"What's wrong with being Chinese?" Li Xianshu frowned and said, "Isn't Deputy Prime Minister Wang also Chinese?"

"He is determined to cooperate with the Empire. Do you think Chen Yang can compare with him?"

"Besides, I am also Chinese. What? Kuroda-kun is also questioning my loyalty to the Empire?"

Kuroda Yusuke marched forward and bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yamamoto."

This topic seemed a bit heavy and the two fell silent for a while.

After a while, Kuroda Yusuke asked cautiously: "By the way, Mrs. Yamamoto, Miss Rieko has left the mountain city smoothly."

"Have you decided who to take over her job this time? Vice Prime Minister Wang is still a little wavering in his attitude towards the empire. We must make him make up his mind as soon as possible."

Li Xianshu said calmly: "I have already arranged this matter. At the beginning of next month, Miss Yunzi will arrive in Shanghai on the supply ship. By then, you will arrange for her to take over Miss Li Huizi's job..."
