Chapter 367 Entrust for life?

"It's cold outside, you have to take care of yourself. My baby has worked hard during this period." The mother's gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Jiang Yao turned his head to look at her, a smile on his face, "It's not hard. I really like this kind of challenging thing."

Lan Qiuru reached out and touched her face, then suddenly asked, "Yaoyao, tell me the truth, is this business war with the Ovis Group related to me?"

When these words came out, Jiang Yao was startled.

She had clearly tried her best to hide this matter, so why did her mother know about it?

"Mom, why do you think so?" she asked tentatively.

"Don't hide it from me. I know what you've been investigating recently. Although I've lost my memories, I'm not a fool. Since I learned my identity, I've also tried to investigate the truth of the past and look for clues about your father."

Lan Qiuru said frankly, "You know I've made a lot of friends abroad over the years, and they've been helping me. I've also heard about how Ovis became the business giant it is today."

Jiang Yao was surprised.

It turns out that in a place unknown to me, my mother has also been trying hard to regain her memory.

She wanted to know the truth more than herself.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to hide it from you." Jiang Yao leaned his head on her shoulder. "I haven't investigated the matter clearly yet. I'm afraid it would be dangerous if you got involved, so..."

"I understand." Lan Qiuru patted the back of her hand soothingly, "Baby, I understand everything! But since I'm involved, I can no longer stay out of it."

She seemed to have made up her mind. Holding her daughter's hand, she said, "Yaoyao, can you accompany me back to our hometown in South City tomorrow? I think we might be able to find the truth in a familiar place."

Jiang Yao nodded without hesitation, "Of course I will accompany you."

…

The next morning.

When Lan Qiuru came out of the villa, she saw a Maybach parked at the door.

Two people walked out of the car, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting.

Lan Qiuru raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yao looked a little embarrassed, but he still stepped forward and took her arm to explain, "Mom, Bei Ting said he was worried about the two of us going back together, and wanted to accompany us so that we can have someone to look after us in a critical moment. What do you think?"

"Aunt, just treat me as a bodyguard and let me escort you all the way back!" Li Beiting's attitude was sincere.

"I'm naturally happy to be escorted by such a young and handsome bodyguard." A meaningful smile flashed in Lan Qiuru's eyes. "But let's make it clear in advance that no matter what, you have to put my daughter's safety first. Only then can I trust her to you."

"Mom, it's up to you whether you want to entrust me or not." Jiang Yao looked embarrassed.

"Isn't it a bodyguard's job to protect his employer?" Lan Qiuru looked at her teasingly. "Do you think I'm entrusting your life to him?"

Jiang Yao's face became hot and he didn't know how to defend himself for a moment.

At this time, it was Li Beiting who spoke up to help her out, "Aunt, don't worry, I swear to protect her with my life."

His words were sincere and his eyes were sincere.

Jiang Yao's heart trembled.

Lan Qiuru nodded with relief, "Okay, I believe you."

The three of them got in the car together and entered the South City two and a half hours later.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of her, Lan Qiuru slowly opened her eyes, as if she was lost in some memories, and her mood was inexplicably excited.

Especially when they drove towards a mountain road, the peach blossoms planted on both sides of the road were in full bloom.

When the spring breeze blows, petals fly and fall all over the sky, it is as beautiful as a fairyland.

"These peach trees are planted by our family, right?" she suddenly asked.

Jiang Yao was a little surprised, "What did you remember?"

"I remember that I loved peach blossoms very much. I would dream of flowers blooming all over the sky." Lan Qiuru's eyes were gentle, as if she was lost in some memories.

This made Jiang Yao feel a little excited.

It seems that bringing my mother back to South City was the right choice, as there are things here that can stimulate her memory.

Maybe she could really remember something.

The car drove through the peach forest and finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.

Lan Qiuru got out of the car.

Looking at the scene in front of her, her heart was shaken, and she walked into the house step by step to explore unknown memories.

Jiang Yao and Li Beiting looked at each other for a few seconds, then slowly followed her without disturbing her.

After entering the house, Lan Qiuru scanned the room bit by bit, describing the scenes and furnishings inside, and easily found a photo album on the table.

In the album, there are photos of Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang taken with her when they were young. The pictures are so warm and beautiful that they make people want to cry.

Lan Qiuru blinked and held back her tears, then went up the stairs. She walked past each room and identified them one by one.

Finally, driven by an extremely strong desire, she finally heard the sound outside a door.

Taking a deep breath, she gently pushed the door open and walked in.

The room decorations and furnishings that come into view are the same as they were more than 20 years ago.

Even many items, such as cosmetics and mirrors, have become old and yellowed, but the Jiang family has never thought of replacing them.

Because these are the traces of Lan Qiuru's past residence and use.

Although he thought his daughter had died and would never come back, everything was kept intact and the room was even spotless.

It can be seen that they often have people cleaning.

Lan Qiuru's eyes began to swell and ache again. Her eyes swept over a small and exquisite ornament in the corner of the wall. For some reason, she was touched and subconsciously reached out to touch it twice.

But the next second, there was a "boom" in the room, and a stone door slowly opened on the wall.

Not only Lan Qiuru was shocked, but even Jiang Yao and Li Beiting outside the door were surprised.

Jiang Yao had never been to this room since returning to the Jiang family, nor had he heard his family mention any secret room.

"Mom—" She rushed forward, "Did you know there's a trap here?"

Lan Qiuru shook her head and said, "I don't know, but I have a hunch that I might find the answer I want below."

Jiang Yao was startled by these words. She exchanged glances with Li Beiting again and made a decision, "Mom, since you have such a premonition, we will go down with you to check it out."

"I'll lead the way, you follow me." Li Beiting said as he turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked in first.

Jiang Yao and the other person followed him down.

Walk up the stairs one by one, while paying attention to the movements around you.

Fortunately, there were no traps inside and the ground was relatively flat.

When the scene in the secret room was fully revealed, all three people present were stunned.

There were several large boxes inside, all covered in dust and smelling musty.

It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
