29.Triple mistaken identities, coincidence?

Ellen was also confused. Her demeanor completely changed once she saw the woman dazed staring at her children.

 Her body straightened and her aura turned chilly and frightening. Her playful and carefree look instantly vanished.

 A hint of darkness flashed across her frosty eyes. They were completely dark and seemed to bury all of the light. The room was suddenly chilly despite the working air conditioner.

 When it came to any threat towards her children, she completely transformed into a fierce tiger ready to devour without any mercy.

 They were her bottom line. Touching a strand of their hair was akin to awakening a sleeping dragon.

 Old Hua was frightened by Ellen's terrifying look. He knew she was so protective of her two kids.

 He was also confused by Mrs Li's weird behavior. He scratched the back of his head wondering how to ease the tension.

 " Erm... Mrs Li..."

His voice snapped Mrs Li back to reality. Her eyes were glistening and she lost her composure. Her elegance and gracefulness were lost. She turned to old Hua and spoke in a trembling voice.

 " W... what did you call her ? " She then pointed at Ellen with her shaking index finger, " who are you ?! "

 The corner of Ellen's mouth twitched.

 ' The tall thing at the reception gave me a ' you're a thief' look and now this woman seems like she has seen a walking corpse, the world is indeed going crazy. '

 Before Ellen could answer, Mrs Li continued still pointing at her.

 " Your surname is Lee ? Are you Lee Y... Yuyan ? " She stammered in a low voice.

 Ellen frowned at the unfamiliar name.

 " No, my name is Eleanor. " She said in a firm voice with a blank expression.

 " What ? You're not Lee Yuyan? Who do this children belong to?

Where do you live? Do you not recognize me? " Mrs Li was still in disbelief.

 Ellen was taken aback by her outburst. Old Hua decided to take it from there. He handed her some tissues from the tissue box on the table.

 " Mrs Li, you must have mistook her for a wrong person. She was formerly called Lee Xue but changed to Eleanor.

 This is her first day here in the capital, she came back from abroad. She was born and raised in a different city far from here before she moved to London 5 years ago. She only came back yesterday. "

 Mrs Li was stunned when she heard him. Although she managed to calm down a little, she still stared at Ellen in disbelief.

 Ellen's lips twitched when she saw her look.

 ' Stubborn woman. '

Mrs Li composed herself and forced her mind to believe them.

 ' Maybe it's just a similar face, the surname must also be a coincidence. Little Yuyan... is already dead...'

 She sighed and excused herself to the bathroom after eyeing Ellen and the children for the last time.

 The tension in the room finally subsided. Ellen glanced at Mrs Li's disappearing back with a complicated gaze. In her belief of life, nothing was too coincidental. She knew there must be more to it but shrugged it at the back of her mind. She'd look into it later. For now she was very, very hungry.
