Chapter 143 Is He My Long Lost Cousin?

"My name is Li Haocheng and I'm nine years old!" the boy replied.

"Haohao, come here and don't disturb your sister's study." The boy's mother sitting opposite shouted. The boy's mother was about forty years old and looked very wealthy. She was also dressed in casual sportswear and had a gold ring on her hand.

"Come here quickly, we're getting in the car." Dad, who was sitting next to Mom, greeted him with a smile. Su Jiaojiao said quickly, "It's okay, let him watch here for a while!"

"Dad, I want to read English books here with my sister." Li Haocheng snuggled up to Su Jiaojiao and refused to leave. The boy's mother laughed and said, "This child is not shy."

"Tell your sister, where are you from?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him carefully. The more she looked, the more similar they looked. She reached out and touched his hand. His hands were white and tender. She seemed to see what he looked like when he was a child, but she didn't dare to say anything else. There was no such thing as DNA testing in those days. If she alerted him, she would never see him again.

"I'm from here!" Li Haocheng answered in a childish voice, "I'm going to visit my grandma's house with my parents. My grandma's house is in Southern Jiangsu Province, which is quite far away."

"So good!" Su Jiaojiao touched his hair and asked him, "Which elementary school do you go to?"

"I'm in the second grade at Tianqiao Primary School," Li Haocheng answered. Su Jiaojiao said, "Oh." Tianqiao Primary School is the one across from the Shunfa Leather Factory. It's good to know the school. It will be easier to find out about it later. She hurriedly rummaged through her schoolbag and took out a handful of candy for him. "Haohao, here's some candy."

"Thank you, sister. I don't want it. My mother said I can't take other people's things." Li Haocheng waved his hand. His mother came over and took Li Haocheng back. "Come back and sit down. We are getting in the car."

"Auntie, Haohao is very cute, please let him take it!" Su Jiaojiao handed the candy over again. Li Haocheng's mother looked at Su Jiaojiao warily and took the candy reluctantly, "Thank you!"

"Ticket checking, let's go!" Li Haocheng's father didn't seem to care about this little episode. He stood up with his bags on his back and walked towards the ticket gate. Li Haocheng waved to Su Jiaojiao, "Goodbye, sister!"

"Goodbye..." Su Jiaojiao stood up and watched the family of three walking further and further away. She suddenly had the urge to rush up. She wanted to ask about Li Haocheng's life experience. She wanted to tell the couple that Li Haocheng's biological mother missed him so much that she was bedridden for many years and was in great pain.

But her reason told her that she couldn't do that.

She needs to calm down, calm down again!

Besides, Li Haocheng just looks like Chen Juan, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she is the same. There are people in the world who look alike.

When they were almost at the ticket gate, Su Jiaojiao saw Li Haocheng's mother throw the candy she had given her into the trash can. Only Li Haocheng, who was unaware of the situation, was still waving at her. Su Jiaojiao didn't sit down until the family of three disappeared in the crowd and could no longer be seen. She couldn't calm down for a long time.

Chen Juan is nineteen years old this year, ten years older than Li Haocheng.

In terms of age, Li Haocheng is the right age.

Judging from his appearance, it was correct, but she knew that even if Li Haocheng was her cousin who was lost eight years ago, she could not bring him back today. As for what to do about this matter, she had to think about it carefully. Only when she had sufficient evidence could she find him.

Su Jiaojiao was still thinking about this matter until she got on the train.

Li Haocheng's family background seemed to be very good, and his parents were very good to him. They didn't need to rescue him, which made her very relieved.

Su Jiaojiao originally wanted to buy a sleeper berth, but she didn't get one. Not to mention a sleeper berth, she couldn't even buy a hard seat. So she just sat in the gap between the two carriages with her two bags of goods, watching the night pass by outside the window, the flashing lights passing by her sight from time to time, and the sound of the train clicking in her ears.

People got off the bus from time to time along the way, but Su Jiaojiao was not sleepy at all.

It wasn't until the sky turned white that she breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived at the station. It had been many years since she had taken a train like this. It was really a time to recall the good and the bad.

Qingyuan City is a prefecture-level city in Sudong Province, and Jiao County is under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan. In more than 20 years, Jiao County will become a district of Qingyuan City. By then, there will be a subway, and transportation will be convenient, and it will only take one hour to get there.

But in those days, there were only long-distance buses. The straight-line distance from Qingyuan City to Jiao County was about 50 kilometers, but it took more than two hours to get there. In order to pick up passengers, the bus had to go around most of the city before finally arriving in Jiao County.

After getting off the train, Su Jiaojiao found a deliveryman to deliver her goods to the bus stop at the exit.

The transportation in Qingyuan City is much more convenient than that in Jiao County. There is a bus directly to the long-distance bus station at the exit.

Su Jiaojiao stood at the bus stop, carefully looking at the bus stops on the sign. She was unfamiliar with the vehicle information here and didn't know how many buses went to the long-distance bus station. As she was looking, a voice came from behind her: "Su Jiaojiao, is that you?"

Looking back, it was Lu Jingyou.

"Mr. Lu!" Su Jiaojiao was very surprised.

"You get in first. We can't stop at the bus stop." Lu Jingyou got out of the car and put her bags into the trunk without saying anything. Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to get in. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Then I asked him, "Why are you here so early?"

"I was sending a friend to the train station and happened to run into you. We could go back together." Lu Jingyou smiled when he saw her still sitting in the back seat. He looked at her in the rearview mirror. Her face was pale, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept well the previous night. He asked her gently, "Have you eaten?"

He knew she was starting a business, and he also knew she was stubbornly determined to reach her original heights.

He understood her character. She would walk forward with peace of mind only if she had made her own way. She had her own pride and she would never hide under a man's wings and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He could only watch her from afar and cautiously give her a little insignificant convenience.

If he said that he had just got off the plane and came to pick her up.

Then she wouldn't get in his car.

Maybe we won’t even be able to be ordinary friends in the future.

"No, but I'm not hungry." Su Jiaojiao hadn't slept all night and had no appetite. She said truthfully, "I'm just a little sleepy."

If she said she was hungry, he might take her out to eat.

But she didn't want to go.

"Eat some of this first." Lu Jingyou handed her a box of chocolates. "If you feel sleepy, lie down for a while."

"Thank you!" Su Jiaojiao took it, but she didn't open it. She put it in the back pocket of the front seat and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. The more she looked, the sleepier she became. Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Lu Jingyou turned around and saw that she had fallen asleep leaning on the seat.

Her little face is rosy, hidden among her messy long hair, which gives her a unique charm.

He slowed down the car, turned down the music, and enjoyed the time alone with her. Even if they just stayed together quietly, he was satisfied. Whether she was there or not, he would stay with her until the day she was willing to open her heart to him.

He believed that this day would come.
