"Yunji, don't be afraid, your sister is alright now."
Meng Yunji burst into tears instantly. After so many days, he finally heard his sister's voice, and he could no longer control himself.
"Sister... I'm afraid something happened to you, I'm afraid I'll never see you again. Mom is dead, and you're gone too..."
After that, all that could be heard was Meng Yunji crying. He was holding the phone and finally crying like a child.
Meng Fuyan's eyes reddened, and she felt a pang of guilt, but she didn't regret it. It's better to end it sooner rather than later. If she could get rid of those people sooner, Yun Ji wouldn't have to live in such a tense environment anymore, and life would finally be a little easier.
“Yunji, don’t be afraid, your sister will be fine. Your brother Gu came to save me right away. Actually, I had only been gone for a short time when your brother Gu caught up with me and brought me back that night. Your sister is perfectly fine. If it weren’t for the special circumstances that prevented me from contacting the outside world these past few days, I would have called you long ago. At that time, you were still on the train and hadn’t even arrived at Uncle Lu’s house yet!”
"Your Brother Gu is so amazing! With him around, he'll protect my sister! Can I have Brother Gu say a few words to you?"
Meng Fuyan handed the phone to Gu Tingzhi, who took it and kept coaxing Meng Yunji. Meng Fuyan just watched and observed from the side.
Gu Tingzhi was very patient, and he really liked this little guy. In his previous life, he was unmarried and loved Meng Fuyan but didn't dare to delay her. Later, Meng Fuyan jumped off a cliff and died. He raised Meng Yunji as his son.
"Yunji, don't cry. Your sister is fine. I'm here, I won't let her be in any danger, don't worry!"
Meng Yun asked hopefully, "Brother Gu, then... can I go find my sister now?"
Gu Tingzhi thought for a moment and replied, "Don't rush for now. You stay with your Uncle Lu for a while. Your sister hasn't returned to Banqiao Brigade yet. Brother Gu has made a great contribution this time, and there might be a job transfer. I'll find a way to get your sister back to the city soon, and then you won't have to go to the countryside anymore."
"Besides, the police need to cooperate with the investigation into your sister's matter, which will take some time. So, would you like to stay there for now? Once we're done here, I'll bring your sister to pick you up!"
"Really?" Meng Yunji was pleasantly surprised. "You're coming too?"
"If Brother Gu has a holiday, he will definitely go."
"Okay, I'll wait here. You must come pick me up when you're done."
“Okay, I’ll definitely go. Changning City is where you grew up. Go and play with your old friends. When you come back, Brother Gu will take you horseback riding.”
...
Sure enough, Gu Tingzhi knew how to coax children. Meng Yunji was quickly cheered up by him, and the two chatted on the phone for a while. When he finally spoke to Meng Fuyan, his childlike nature came out.
Meng Fuyan was very happy. After hanging up the phone, she went back to dinner with Gu Tingzhi.
Meng Yunji was initially very worried, but when she hung up the phone, she was happy. Lu Jianjun was very pleased, "Are you relieved now? Your sister is fine. She can stay at Uncle Lu's house for a few days. It's just like your own home. If your sister hadn't not been away and there was no one to take care of you, you could have gone home to live."
Meng Yunji said happily, "Uncle Lu, my sister said she'll be here to pick me up soon, and Brother Gu even said he'd take me horseback riding."
When Gu Tingzhi was mentioned, Lu Jianjun was filled with emotion.
After several phone calls, he could naturally tell that Gu Tingzhi liked Meng Fuyan, and the two were most likely dating. How so?
Gu Tingzhi is indeed a very outstanding junior, but the Gu family has become too complicated with several changes in management. Moreover, he's currently feeling like a doting father, as if his precious little cabbage is about to be eaten by a pig. And to put it another way...
“What’s so special about riding a horse? Your older brother can take you too. I’ll have your brother Lu take you riding one.”
Meng Yunji's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
To prove that what he said was true, Lu Jianjun immediately notified his eldest son and asked him to take Yunji to ride a horse.
Lu Xingye was stunned when he received the call. "Dad, are you kidding me? This isn't the military base. Where am I supposed to find a horse for him to ride?"
Well……
Lu Jianjun was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
They live in the urban area of Changning City. The machinery factory area is quite large, and the people in the factory usually only move around in this area. There are really no big horses here.
"Aren't there any outside? Surely there are some at the zoo. Little boys are all very active, and they're going to go to waste if they stay at home all day. Take him out to play, see the animals, and teach him how to be naughty. I'll treat you to braised pork when you get back tonight."
Lu Xingye: "..."
How old is he? Why is his dad still bribing him with braised pork?
Does he look that easy to bribe?
It has to be said that braised pork is quite effective; Lu Xingye really took Meng Yunji out to play.
After running around wildly, he came back in the evening and asked his dad for braised pork.
Lu Jianjun kept his word. He took the meat coupons and bought meat. When he came back in the evening, he cooked a braised pork dish. He even asked someone to exchange the meat for a larger portion, filling a big plate, which looked very tempting.
Lu Xingye was delighted, "Dad, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Lu Jianjun raised his head and said, "That's right, Yunji. Come on, eat more meat and you'll grow taller!"
He picked up a few pieces of braised pork and put them into Meng Yunji's bowl. Just then, the lady of the house, Qin Qiongying, Lu Jianjun's wife, returned home and saw this scene as she entered.
Lu Jianjun was a little surprised to see her return. "You're back! I heard you were in a meeting with the leaders. I thought you had eaten in the cafeteria. Perfect timing, you just sat down. Wash your hands and eat!"
Qin Qiongying's gaze fell on Meng Yunji, and it felt somewhat cold!
She looked unwell, washed her hands, and sat down. Meng Yunji was somewhat afraid of her.
Qin Qiongying is a very strong person. She works very hard and is a complete career woman.
"Hoshino, I told you to go find that girl from the Lin family, did you go?"
Lu Xingye paused with his chopsticks and replied, "No."
Qin Qiongying frowned and slammed her chopsticks down. "Why didn't you go? Where have you been all day? Did you just stay at home the whole time?"
"Mom, I don't have feelings for her, so naturally I won't go looking for her. I took Yunji to the zoo today."
Lu Jianjun chimed in, "Although the Lin family girl is nice, she's too obedient. She's not suitable for the eldest son. If you don't like her, so be it. It would be better to find him someone more lively. He's the eldest son, and he's busy with work. It would be better to find someone who can talk a lot and handle things."
Qin Qiongying immediately became unhappy, "Can you answer back? How many young girls can answer back? Being well-behaved is what makes a good child."
Lu Jianjun disagreed, "Who said that? Yanyan isn't that old, but she's quite eloquent and has done a great job at work. That girl is just like her mother, lively and energetic..."
Qin Qiongying was furious and interrupted him, "Meng Fuyan was rejected by the Yuan family and her reputation is ruined. She is not good enough for our Xingye. Don't even think about marrying her into our family."
