Back at the Qin family home, Qin Zheng threw the silly girl into the yard and had Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia guard her.
He rushed into the house, picked up Xiao Chuqi in one arm, and leaned down to kiss Ye Yun on the cheek, laughing, "I missed you so much this morning!"
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
This guy was only gone for a morning, not a year or two, why is he so agitated?
As soon as Qin Zheng released her, she asked, "How did things go?"
Qin Zheng scoffed, "Don't worry, that kid won't dare to resist."
Where is your mother?
"Wife, you're confused again. Where did I get a mother? Weren't the villagers all out helping out just now?"
"..."
Okay, okay, you know how to talk.
Hearing Qin Zheng say those words, Ye Yun knew that his help to Li Xiuying had come to an end. She gently smoothed the short hair by his ear, turned her head and looked through the window at the silly girl who was sitting obediently on the stool in the yard.
As Li Xiuying said, her fair skin and delicate features made her seem unlike a girl from an ordinary family.
Mu Jingsheng and Ye Xia were trying to get information out of the silly girl.
It's nothing more than: "How old are you today? What's your father's name? Or, do you know your home phone number?"
The silly girl shook her head after hearing all this, and looked at the two of them with a grin.
Seeing her like this, Mu Jingsheng's initial kindness gradually faded, and he could no longer smile. He turned his pitying gaze to Ye Xia, who was standing beside him.
Ye Xia: "...?"
"Sigh." Mu Jingsheng sighed, patted Ye Xia's shoulder, and said with a heavy face, "Heaven still has eyes, at least it didn't let my lover fall to this state where she can't even speak."
Ye Xia: ? ? ?
Is it really that bad?
She was too slow to understand Mu Jingsheng's feelings at that moment, and felt goosebumps all over from his gaze. She subconsciously pushed the tearful Mu Jingsheng away a little.
Mu Jingsheng, who was pushed away, stammered, "Eh...Eh?"
After confirming the other party's identity, Qin Zheng went to Lü Guohua's house and made a phone call to the provincial capital.
He told Gu Jin about it.
Gu's father had been a regular in high society for many years and had seen the person in person. Qin Zheng and Gu Jin compared the characteristics of the silly girl and confirmed once again that she was the daughter of Director Liu.
Silly Girl has a mole on each of her left sides, just like Director Liu.
After asking Gu Jin to contact the silly girl's parents, Qin Zheng returned home and invited Aunt Tian to come over and cook some food.
Aunt Tian was overjoyed to be able to help Qin Zheng and Ye Yun. She specially sent the two children to their maternal grandparents' house and went to town to buy fresh ingredients, ready to show off her cooking skills.
It takes three hours to drive here from the provincial capital.
I heard that Director Liu is quite fond of this daughter in private, and he misses her dearly. He should be driving fast, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should arrive here around lunchtime.
At noon, as expected, another Shanghai-brand sedan arrived at the impoverished mountain village.
A stylish motorcycle was driving in front of the car. The motorcycle was parked at the bottom of the slope, and the car followed suit. The driver's side door opened, and a middle-aged man with an anxious expression got out.
The man was about forty years old, slightly overweight, with graying temples, but he had a receding hairline and a shiny bald head that reflected the sunlight.
As soon as he got out of the car, he confirmed with Gu Jin and then hurriedly went into the Qin family home.
Surprisingly, after he entered Lao Qin's house, the passenger door opened, and a young woman in her twenties reluctantly got out.
The woman, wearing high heels, looked up and glared disapprovingly at the Qin family's house on the slope.
Perhaps it was because her high heels weren't good for going uphill, or perhaps it was the poverty of the mountain village that displeased her. She stood at the door, reluctantly looking for several seconds, resisting going uphill, until the man who had already rushed into the Qin family's gate called out to her.
"Xiaoyun! What are you standing there for? Come quick, we've found your sister!"
The woman then came to her senses, glanced at the hurried Director Liu, reluctantly agreed, and stepped onto the slope in front of her in her high heels.
Director Liu has two daughters.
She is a talented woman who became a high school teacher at a young age.
A born idiot who has only ever drooled and giggled since childhood.
After the man called out "Xiaoyun," even Gu Jin, who was following behind, couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously glanced at the young woman again.
However, he quickly came to his senses and looked away, not caring much.
Her name seems to be Liu Xiaoyun.
It's quite a coincidence that her name shares the same pronunciation as Ye Yun's.
However, her temperament and the feeling she gave off could never compare to Ye Yun's.
Although Liu Xiaoyun was assigned to a high school as a teacher at a young age, she exuded an unapproachable arrogance, as if she had an innate sense of superiority, much like Cai Manni back in the day.
Gu Jin disliked dealing with this kind of person the most, so she immediately quickened her pace and left her behind.
In the courtyard, Director Liu spotted the simple-minded girl sitting on a stool, obediently eating wild oranges. His eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he staggered over to her, tightly grasping her hand.
“Yueyue…” His voice choked with emotion as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Silly Girl paused for a moment.
The warm sunlight shone on her fair face. She stared at the middle-aged man facing her with a puzzled look. After two seconds, she finally broke into a familiar, bright smile and called out in a clear voice, "Daddy—"
The man burst into tears.
"Hey, hey!" he responded several times, excitedly grabbing the silly girl's shoulder and patting her leg, his hoarse voice asking anxiously and with concern, "Are you hurt? Does anything hurt?"
Yueyue shook her head.
She remembered she still had some wild oranges in her hand, so she broke off a golden segment and handed it to the man, giggling, "Dad... Daddy, have some... sweets!"
The man didn't mind and reached out to take the food his youngest daughter offered.
The wild orange, when put into the mouth, tasted sour and astringent at first, but for the man who had just found his daughter, this segment of wild orange that his daughter had broken for him was sweeter than any carefully cultivated tangerine.
The sound of high heels came from behind, and the man immediately turned around.
"Xiaoyun, see, I told you your sister wasn't lost. As long as we search diligently, we'll find her!"
Liu Xiaoyun gave a faint "hmm".
His gaze swept over Yueyue, who looked completely dazed. His expression was calm, but a barely perceptible hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
What's the point of finding a sister like this?
The disappearance didn't completely erase her from her and her parents' lives; now, almost everyone knows she has a mentally challenged younger sister.
Liu Xiaoyun looked unwell, but she forced herself to look away despite her discomfort.
In a moment of inattention, her eyes met those of Ye Yun inside the window.
The moment she saw Ye Yun's silhouette, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she had seen something unbelievable...
