rticularly strange to me. From a close distance, I could tell that this woman was older. Even though she was wearing makeup, there was still a lot of makeup on her forehead. The wrinkles and some vicissitudes of appearance cannot be covered up. She was probably in her forties. I asked, “Hello, we don’t know each other.”
She smiled and said, “My surname is Zhang. It’s true that you don’t know me. But I know you. Or to be more precise. “Say, I know your mother.”
I was startled and even frowned involuntarily. She continued: “Your mother and I met when we were in Guangdong and have always been good friends. We have also had business contacts in the past few years. She returned to Hong Kong from Shanghai a few years ago, and when we had dinner together, she gave me I’ve seen your photo, so I recognized you.”
“Oh, what a coincidence,” I replied expressionlessly.
“I heard that there are some conflicts between you and your mother. I haven’t contacted your mother for a long time.”
