My intuition tells me that Cheng Yu’s wealth must not be a coincidence.
I immediately decided, "I'm going to talk to Cheng Yu. Maybe he knows what happened back then."
I was about to leave when Lu Zhiyuan stopped me: "I'll go with you."
"No need, I can go by myself. You just stay here and have tea with Uncle Feng." I didn't want Lu Zhiyuan to intervene, it would only make me feel like I owed him a favor.
But Lu Zhiyuan stood up and insisted on staying with me.
"I'm still not sure what kind of person this Cheng Yu is. It would be safer if I go with you."
He insisted, and I had no choice but to agree.
After a while, we found a farmers' supermarket in the town.
The supermarket is not big, but it has a wide range of products, including vegetables, fruits and meat.
I pretended to buy some fruit, and when I went to pay, I casually asked the cashier, "Hey, where's your boss Cheng? Does he come to the store regularly?"
The cashier was stunned for a moment and asked me cautiously, "Are you looking for Cheng Yu?"
I nodded. "Yes, we are friends of your boss, but he changed his number and we can't contact him for the time being. Could you please help us contact him? I want to meet him."
The cashier handed me the fruit and looked at Lu Zhiyuan and me. "Are you from the city?"
"Yeah." I answered with a smile and waited for the cashier to help us make the call.
The next second, the cashier snorted coldly: "Cheng Yu doesn't have any friends from the city at all. I think you have the wrong person."
I was stunned for a moment, but didn't panic. Instead, I continued to cover up: "How could you know so much about your boss's affairs?"
"Of course I know, because I am Cheng Yu."
I was surprised by what the cashier said.
Cheng Xi is a few years older than Mingsi, and I subconsciously think that Cheng Xi's younger brother should also be an uncle.
But the man in front of him had good skin and didn't look like a man in his forties at all.
I was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Yu looked at us for a moment, then walked out from the cashier counter and frowned, saying, "Come with me."
He took us to the rest room inside the supermarket.
He is thin and frail, and walks with a slight limp.
After sitting down, Cheng Yu got straight to the point: "Tell me, who are you and what do you want to do?"
All my previous lies were exposed, and I had to smile and explain, "My mother and your sister Cheng Xi are old friends. I'm here to visit you on my mother's behalf."
When Cheng Yu heard the name "Cheng Xi", his body trembled slightly. Although it returned to normal in an instant, I still saw it.
He is Cheng Xi's younger brother. Why does he become so nervous and uneasy when he hears his sister's name?
There must be something strange about this.
Cheng Yu had regained his composure. He sneered and exposed my lie again: "My sister has passed away many years ago. Since you are the daughter of her old friend, why did you come to visit her after all these years?"
Seeing that I couldn't hide it anymore, I planned to ask directly, but just as I was about to open my mouth, Lu Zhiyuan held my shoulder.
Lu Zhiyuan spoke before me, introducing himself: "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I am her husband. My wife's name is Lan Shan, the daughter of the Lan family. You should know her. The Lan family used to live in Qinglin Town."
When he heard the word "Lan family", Cheng Yu's brows tightened again, and the hand hidden under the table involuntarily grasped the corner of his clothes.
This made me more suspicious.
