Chapter 149 Chen Laosi: I picked her up!
Jinghai.
"Master, go to Jinghai Medical University."
On the way, Li Chunfang stopped a taxi, told the address, and sat in the back seat listening to the driver talking on the phone intermittently.
"Oh, I haven't been back for years. If it weren't for the money, who would want to come back... Yes, money from other places is not as easy to make as in Jinghai. Take this sports car for example, there is a huge demand for it in Jinghai, so I don't have to worry about having no business..."
"Okay, we haven't seen each other for over ten years. When can you come back, let's have a drink and chat... As for me, I've probably been in Beijing these past few years. It's the capital, a place where you can make a lot of money... I'm telling you, if you really can't make it, just come back and drive a car with me. I spent 80,000 or 90,000 yuan to buy this taxi a few years ago, and I've earned back the money a long time ago. Now I'm saving money for my retirement..."
"We don't have any children, so if we don't save some money now, we won't have money for drinking later!"
The driver was chatting excitedly while driving, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Li Chunfang was sitting in the back seat and sounded strangely familiar.
It seems like I've heard this voice somewhere before.
She glanced at the other person's back but couldn't see the front.
She looked at the driver's information sign on the car again.
The photo in the message is blurry, full of creases, and can't be seen clearly.
The name reads Chen Dafu.
Chen Dafu?
Li Chunfang thought about it and didn't seem to remember this name.
Suddenly she looked at the photo of the driver again, and heard the driver's laughter talking to her ears. A scene in her memory suddenly emerged in her mind.
She almost blurted out, "Chen Laosi?"
The driver paused in his conversation and subconsciously turned around. "You called me?"
When their eyes met, Li Chunfang's eyes widened in surprise, "Chen Laosi! It really is you!"
The other party was stunned for a few seconds and obviously did not recognize Li Chunfang.
Li Chunfang leaned over to the driver's seat with both hands on the backrest of the front seat and said excitedly, "Twenty-three years ago! Xiyuan Village! Three thousand yuan!"
Suddenly, the tires rubbed against the ground and there was a sharp braking sound.
The car stopped and the driver was shocked, "Anjia?!"
"You are indeed Chen Laosi!"
Li Chunfang was extremely excited. "We've been looking for you for years. Where have you been? My daughter has been looking for you everywhere, but I finally met you today!"
Li Chunfang never thought that she would meet Chen Laosi again in Jinghai, the man who once sold An Ning to her and An Tianhua!
"Why are you looking for me?" Chen Laosi was also panicking. "Didn't we agree to keep the matter to ourselves? I've never told anyone in all these years that your daughter was bought. Why are you looking for me now?"
"Chen Laosi, when you sold my daughter to us, you said her parents didn't want her anymore and that she had a high fever and couldn't remember anything. You said her origins were clear, and we took her because we felt sorry for her." Li Chunfang excitedly grabbed Chen Laosi's clothes. "But now my daughter wants to know who her biological parents are. Tell me honestly, where did she come from?"
"It's been over twenty years, why are you still asking this?" Chen Laosi pulled back his clothes. "The deal we made back then was consensual and that's over. You're still asking about it now. Aren't you sending me to jail?"
"But my daughter wants to know who her parents are right now!" Li Chunfang persisted. "Just tell me where she came from, and I will definitely keep this child trafficking a secret!"
An Ning has been looking for her biological parents. Four years ago, she broke up with Xiao Lu because Li Chunfang promised to give her information about her biological parents, but in these four years, she has found nothing.
Li Chunfang always felt guilty and sorry for her.
Although she had her own selfish desires, wanting An Ning to remain her daughter, she only realized how tiring An Ning's life had been when she saw her scarred wrists and the bottles of antidepressants.
If she could find her biological parents now, maybe it would make her happy.
It can be considered as my compensation to her.
"Don't even think about it!" Chen Laosi said with a serious expression, "I've already forgotten what happened over 20 years ago! Who knows where she came from?"
After saying that, he sternly said, "Get out of the car right now! I'm not taking this order from you. Let's just pretend we haven't met today!"
"I don't care! You have to tell me today!" Li Chunfang sat in the car, refusing to get out, using both soft and hard tactics. "Chen Laosi, today I just want to know where my daughter came from. Even if her parents didn't want her back then, I'm going to find out who her parents are for her! Just tell me clearly, and I promise not to tell anyone. After all, it won't benefit either you or me if this gets out, don't you?"
Seeing that she was determined not to leave, Chen Laosi simply opened the car door and got out himself. Just as he was about to run away, he was suddenly grabbed by Li Chunfang.
"Are you crazy?" Chen Laosi saw that she was not giving in and growled, "If you keep doing this, we'll all go to jail!"
Li Chunfang grabbed his clothes to stop him from running away, lowering her voice and threatening, "What are we doing? Child trafficking? It's a crime! If you don't tell me today, I'll call the police right now. I guarantee you won't be able to escape Jinghai! Let's go to jail together. I don't believe you won't tell the truth in the police station!"
"You old bitch, I'm really sick!" Chen Laosi didn't expect her to go all out. He hesitated for a moment with a sullen face and asked in a low voice, "Can you promise that as long as I tell you, this matter will be completely over?"
"I promise! I just want to find my daughter's biological parents. I promise not to tell anyone about you. I'll pretend I haven't seen you today." Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, Li Chunfang added, "Your name is Chen Dafu now, right? I'll say that Chen Laosi died a long time ago, and no matter how we investigate, it won't be your fault."
"I'm so fucking lucky to have you here today!" Chen Laosi's face turned pale as he whispered, "I brought your daughter from Dianhai!"
"Dianhai?" Li Chunfang asked hurriedly, "Who are her parents? Where do they live? Why don't they want her anymore?"
"I have no idea!"
As soon as Chen Laosi finished speaking, Li Chunfang grabbed his clothes even tighter, "What do you mean by 'I don't know'? Didn't you say her parents don't want her?"
"I've never met her parents!" At this point, Chen Laosi simply told the truth, "I picked her up on the street!"
He then quickly declared, "I really found her, I didn't steal her! I found her on a rainy day, she was lying on the road with a high fever. I picked her up because she was pretty, but I couldn't support her, so I thought of a way to make money. I could sell her to a family in need of a child, and I could make some money."
"Jinghai is a big city, and there are many people who want children, and the price is high, so I brought her to Jinghai. I happened to hear that your family didn't have any children, so I sold her to you!"
When Chen Laosi talked about what happened twenty-three years ago, Li Chunfang still remembered it vividly.
When An Ning first came to their house, she was about four or five years old. She was fair and pretty, but her body was extremely dirty, as if she had been fished out of the mud.
She had a high fever, so Li Chunfang and An Tianhua took her to the hospital to get medicine. They were relieved only after confirming that it was just a cold and fever and no other illness.
Li Chunfang was originally thinking about how to tell the child that she would live with them in the future after she woke up, but who knew that once the child woke up, she forgot everything and remembered nothing.
This is a great blessing for them.
She and An Tianhua even felt that this little girl was a gift from God to their family.
So they named her An Ning, which means a peaceful and healthy life in the future.
Li Chunfang told her, "Your name is An Ning, this is your home, and we are your mom and dad."
This lie was not exposed until seventeen years ago.
