Chapter 97 Finding Someone is Important

"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you by calling so late. I'm a colleague from Chen Meizhu's company. Is she with you right now?"

"Oh, so it's her colleague. No, she's not here. She recently went to another colleague's house to do confinement care. She probably won't be back for a few months."

"Have you contacted her today?"

"Yes, I just contacted you this morning! What happened?"

"Here's what's going on. The colleague I hired as my confinement nanny said she's not home anymore and doesn't have her phone with her. She's missing in the middle of the night and I'm worried something might have happened to her. My employer is pregnant and it's not convenient for her to go out and look for her, so they asked me to notify you. What should I do?"

"It's okay. She's run away from home without a word before. Maybe one of her sisters is in trouble and she needs to rush over to comfort them. Maybe she'll be back tomorrow. Tell her pregnant colleagues not to worry. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."

“Hello, hello, hello, hello…” Before Li Yu could finish her words, the man on the computer who showed up as her husband Chen Zhiqiang hung up the phone impatiently, as if he would die if he talked to him for another minute.

Li Yu: "How can there be such a husband in this world? He's so calm even though his wife is missing?"

Li Yu called Junlan and said, "Hey, Junlan, I found Meizhu's bastard husband. Meizhu isn't with him either. I told him his wife is missing, but he didn't react. It's so late now. If we go out to look for her, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. If she doesn't come back tomorrow, let's call the police and find her!"

Jun Lan couldn't think of any good idea for a moment. The wall clock just rang twelve times, and she could only say, "Hmm!" and hung up the phone.

Yang Ning: "Let's go to sleep first, maybe Meizhu will come back by herself later."

Jun Lan was really sleepy. She looked at the wall clock and said, "I hope so!" Then she went back to the room with Yang Ning.

While sleeping soundly, Junlan seemed to dream that Meizhu had returned.

Junlan: "Meizhu, you're back? Where have you been?"

Mijoo: “I went to a very deep and cold place.”

Jun Lan: "Then how did you come back?"

Mizhu: "I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you."

Jun Lan: "You won't scare me. Don't run away without saying a word next time, okay?"

Mijoo: “There won’t be a next time.”

She stared at Junlan's belly for a long time before she sighed and said, "I really want to see your child being born, but unfortunately I don't have time."

Jun Lan felt strange: "Why don't you have time? Do you have something to go back for? Why don't you spend more time with me and the children?"

Mi-joo: "My life is so miserable!"

Jun Lan: "Can you be more miserable than me?"

Mizhu: "There's a little sweater I knitted for your child in the house, and there's also a little hat I haven't finished. Don't lose it. Ask someone to collect the yarn for you so your child can use it."

Jun Lan: "Why are you telling me this? Why don't you just help me?"

Mizhu: "I don't have time. The only thing I'm worried about is my son. His father is an unreliable father. It would be pitiful for my son to live with him. I'll leave my son to you."

Jun Lan: "Why are you so weird today? You keep talking nonsense to me!"

Mizhu: "I'm leaving now, take care of yourselves."

Junlan: "Meizhu, Meizhu, Meizhu..."

"Junlan, Junlan..." Junlan heard Yang Ning calling her. She opened her eyes and said to Yang Ning, "Is Meizhu back?"

"No, I just went to the bathroom and she didn't come back. I heard you calling her, so I woke you up."

"I just dreamed that Mizhu came back, and she said a lot of strange things to me."

"You must be thinking about her during the day and dreaming about her at night. You miss her so much that you dream about her. Why don't you take a rest?"

"I can't sleep. Come with me to the hospital and call the police!"

"You should stay at home! Let Li Yu and I go."

"No, I'm scared to stay home alone. You should take me with you."

"What if Mijoo comes back at that time?"

"If she comes back, she will definitely call me, so you can take me with you."

"Well, if you want to go, just come with me. I really have no choice."

After they came to the police station to report the case, the police also took it seriously. After they went to Junlan to investigate and collect evidence, they also took away Meizhu's mobile phone.

Police: "We'll let you know when we have news."

Yang Ning: "Thank you for your hard work, police comrades."

Li Yu helped Junlan into the villa and sat down and asked, "Now that Meizhu is not at home, what are you two going to do?"

Jun Lan: "Foreman, please take care of me!"

Li Yu: "My child, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I've never been married and have had children, so I have no experience at all. If something really happens, your husband will be so overwhelmed that he won't know whether to help you or me."

Jun Lan: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Li Yu looked at Yang Ning: "Alas, Meizhu is not with her, and I am worried about leaving her alone in the villa. How about this, we move back to your new home and let your parents-in-law come to take care of you."

Junlan: "Do you mind?"

Yang Ning: "It can't be helped. You and the child are more important. Let's get through these few months first!"

Li Yu: "At least you speak human language."

Yang Ning: "Foreman, when did I stop speaking human language?"

Li Yu: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. You sometimes have the same bad temper as your older brother."

Junlan walked into Meizhu's room with a heavy belly.

Yang Ning: "She hasn't come back yet. It wouldn't be a good idea for us to go through her things while she's away."

Li Yu: "If there's anything wrong, you all have to move out tomorrow. I'll help you clean up her things while I'm free, so you don't have to be too busy tomorrow."

Junlan found two small sweaters and a small hat with knitting needles stuck in it at the head of her bed.

Junlan's tears flowed down.

"Hey, I just made a few sweaters and hats for your child. Are you so touched? Are you missing your child or her?"

Jun Lan: "I dreamed last night that she said she was coming back. She told me not to throw away her sweater and hat, and she entrusted her son to me. Do you think something happened to her and she will never come back?"

Li Yu: "Oh, don't think too much about it. How can you take things in dreams seriously? It's just your mind."

Yang Ning: "Ever since she got pregnant, she's become sentimental and tearful. Her nervousness is almost driving me crazy."

Li Yu: "Just say less!"

She patted Junlan on the back and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, Meizhu will be fine. Don't think too much. We will move out tomorrow and leave here so that you won't be an eyesore." Only then did Junlan stop crying.

After Junlan and Yang Ning moved back to the city, Lao Lin and his wife soon moved in. One of them was responsible for taking care of Junlan's daily life and diet, and the other was responsible for cleaning. Everyone got along quite well.
