Chapter 18

The three of them flipped through a page of information yesterday. Except for Cui Mingzhi's own records, other people's records only said that this was a poor and destitute village.

The three of them had no choice but to discuss and decide to go to this place together to inspect and see if they could find something useful. Lu Mingfeng and Yan Min went out early in the morning to prepare things.

Jiang He received a note that said "I am your grandmother's old friend", and the guard only told him that it was sent by a child. After hearing this, he raised his mouth and said, "Is the fish already impatient to take the bait?"

"I want to know, why did Director Lin come to see me?" Jiang He looked at a group of waiters in western-style suits, who were busy shuttling back and forth between the tables. A girl in a western dress was playing the violin slowly, and the beautiful sound of the violin made her stop her eating utensils for a moment and listen.

Jiang He retracted his gaze and turned to Director Lin who was sitting opposite him. Compared to the way he avoided him before, this time the other party looked at him with a very different look.

She perfectly captured the expression of a person who is excited but dares not recognize the son of an old friend. If she changes her career to make movies, she might even win a Hollywood Best Actress award.

"When I met you that time, I didn't realize you were Sister Qian's son. I didn't expect you were still alive..." Lin Mei looked at the young man in front of her who had the same face as Cui Mingzhi, and her memory drifted away.

"Comrade Cui, I like you. Can we be friends?" The girl in a ruffled skirt is a younger version of Lin Mei. The boy who is looking at her with a sunny smile is Cui Mingzhi, and her eyes are full of anticipation.

"Well, Comrade Lin, I already have a girlfriend, and we will get married after graduation. You are so beautiful, there will definitely be someone more suitable for you in the future." Cui Mingzhi looked at her with a smile. He was a very serious person. Since he already had someone he wanted to protect, he had to cut off any signs of impossibility.

The girl looked sad when she heard the news, "I don't mind, I..." She was about to say something when Cui Mingzhi interrupted her, "Comrade Lin, I hope you don't say this again in front of me, otherwise there is no need for us to meet again, and I have always regarded you as a junior schoolmate who wants to learn knowledge, nothing else." After saying that, she left, and a woman appeared in her blurred sight. The two of them were talking and laughing, and there was no chance for her to intervene.

"Oh?" Jiang He stirred the coffee in the cup, "Director Lin, everyone who has seen me says that I look alike to my father, except for my mother's eyes. It seems that my father, as a guardian, is not that important in your eyes." His voice was low and his eyes were full of sarcasm when he looked at Lin Mei, making Lin Mei dare not look him in the eye.

Lin Mei's pupils shrank, and she swallowed subconsciously, forcing an awkward smile on her face. "Maybe I didn't quite believe it at the time, so I didn't dare to recognize you. Besides, you and your grandparents have very different personalities, which makes it easy for people to think that you two are just somewhat similar." Her expression became very nervous, and she almost dropped the water cup in her hand. Fortunately, she reacted in time and stabilized the things in her hands.

Jiang He seemed to have not heard the other party's explanation. "It's inevitable that I have a bit of an extreme personality since I was an orphan and I know they died with regrets when I grew up. You shouldn't mind, right?"
