Gao Qiaolan came out of the house with a frown on her face.
"What happened?"
She looked past the expressionless Lu Bingchuan and saw the young girl kneeling in the middle of the yard, and she was stunned.
This face looks familiar.
Jiang Haitang wiped her tears and raised her head.
When their eyes met, both of them remembered something.
Gao Qiaolan quickly reacted and said calmly, "Little girl, who are you?"
"I'm here to find my sister." Jiang Haitang introduced herself and asked tentatively.
"I think I've seen you somewhere before. Have you ever been to Tuanjie Village?"
Gao Qiaolan nodded, "Do you remember me?"
"I once saved a man from a flood. He looked a lot like you."
Jiang Haitang dug her nails into her palms, forcing herself to calm down, but inside she was extremely ecstatic.
She said hurriedly, "That person also gave me a jade pendant. I had kept it very well, but unfortunately it was taken away by my sister."
"Take" sounds nice, but actually it means "grab".
She had only secretly delivered dinner to Duan Ze a few times, but Jiang Ningyan went crazy and ran to her room to rummage around.
The jade pendant was the only valuable item, so naturally she took it away.
Gao Qiaolan didn't answer her, but gestured for Lu Bingchuan to follow her to the side.
"Bingchuan, what do you think about this matter?"
This girl is short-sighted and doesn't look smart, so you can tell at a glance that she is not lying.
Lu Bingchuan's expression was his usual coldness. "She can't stay in the Lu family."
This "she" naturally refers to Jiang Haitang who was sobbing non-stop.
"It seems you already knew it." Gao Qiaolan sighed helplessly.
"Then I'll go and explain it to her. No matter what she wants in return, our Lu family will agree to it."
After taking a few steps, Gao Qiaolan turned back and said.
"I'll pretend I don't know about this, and don't tell Ningyan about it."
Ningyan might have been a little spoiled in the past, but she is not a bad person at heart.
Since he is already a member of the Lu family, she will of course protect him to the end.
"Auntie Lan, I don't want anything."
After hearing Gao Qiaolan's words, Jiang Haitang shook her head sensibly, "No matter who is in the water, I will save them. I never think about asking for anything in return."
Gao Qiaolan smiled and handed the warm water to her.
"Haitang, are you coming to Jing City to seek refuge with your relatives?"
Jiang Haitang blushed in embarrassment, but she couldn't lie with Lu Bingchuan present.
"I came to my husband, but he... wanted to divorce me and wouldn't even let me into the house."
Gao Qiaolan didn't expect that she was already married at such a young age, and comforted her.
"Don't worry, tell me your husband's identity and work, and I will help you solve this problem."
After all, the topic comes back to the question of "staying or leaving".
Jiang Haitang saw that the Lu family rejected her, so she spoke first.
"Auntie Lan, can you let me stay at the Lu family? I don't want anything, I just ask you for this one thing."
She has a gentle and pretty appearance, but when she stands next to Jiang Ningyan, she pales in comparison and looks ordinary no matter how you look at her.
But when I walk alone in the village, I still attract the attention of many young men.
Now that she is crying, it is even more irresistible.
"I really have nowhere else to go. I can be a nanny and work for you. I don't want any wages, as long as I have a place to live..."
Gao Qiaolan was a little embarrassed and suggested arranging a house for her, but she refused to agree.
No matter what, we still have to stay for dinner.
It was almost time for lunch, but Jiang Ningyan, who said she would cook herself, didn't come back.
Lu Bingchuan didn't know which road she took, so he waited at several nearby intersections for a while, but there was no sign of her.
Aunt Liu first cooked a few dishes, brought them to the table, and advised.
"Everyone, eat your fill first. Ningyan might be here soon."
Jiang Haitang had hardly eaten anything all day. When she saw the fragrant stewed meat and the white rice, she immediately picked up her chopsticks to eat.
It’s so much more delicious than the rough steamed bread and pickled mustard greens at home!
When she came to her senses, she found that Gao Qiaolan had not picked up her chopsticks at all, and Lu Bingchuan was standing in front of the window with a gloomy face, with no intention of eating at all.
Jiang Haitang blushed, wiped her mouth, and quietly put down the chopsticks in her hand.
Aunt Liu looked at her and frowned unhappily.
My sister has disappeared, but my sister is not only not worried, but she is starving and starving at the food. This is really...
Night falls.
The Lu family mobilized all their manpower through their network of connections and turned every street and alley in Beijing upside down.
The result was still nothing.
The last person to see Jiang Ningyan was her neighbor Aunt Wu.
She went shopping and when she was returning home, she saw Jiang Ningyan entering an alley and sticking her head out to look in the direction of the Lu family.
Although she felt a little strange, she didn't care.
Lu Bingchuan's fingertips trembled, and he slowly clenched his fists. "What time?"
Aunt Wu thought for a moment and said, "About ten o'clock."
Ten o'clock is exactly the time when Jiang Haitang arrives at the Lu family.
Lu Bingchuan thanked Aunt Wu, but the coldness on her body made her shrink back.
Zhou Linzheng had been listening nearby, frowning as he speculated, "Could it be that Jiang Ningyan saw her sister and realized that her pretense of being her savior was about to be exposed?"
"You were so scared that you ran away?"
Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be so scared.
But this person is Lu Bingchuan. His cold face is scary enough at ordinary times, but once he gets angry, no one can withstand his anger.
The more Zhou Linzheng thought about it, the more it made sense.
