Chapter 41: Land and the Sunken Boat
Because he saw that familiar figure, Jin Yu was still a little uneasy until he got out of the elevator.
Then she turned around and thought it shouldn't be him.
After all, he had been abroad for six years.
Those who are engaged in medical research have already signed confidentiality agreements with foreign countries and will probably not come back so soon.
What's more, given their relationship, even if he comes back, he will definitely tell her first.
She breathed a sigh of relief and thought, it must have been just an accident.
-
At noon, Jinyu treated Wen Chuyue to lobster.
The two men were of similar age and got along well, so they spent more than two hours eating a meal of lobster.
After eating, the two took the subway directly to Jinggu Teahouse.
Looking at the ancient teahouse in front of her, Jin Yu was filled with mixed feelings. This teahouse was the only way for her to go to school. She came and went every day, but she had never paid attention to it.
I never thought that this teahouse was actually opened by my mother.
Wen Chuyue saw the person next to her staring at the teahouse opposite without moving, and knew that Jin Yu must be missing her mother. Her mother passed away when she was very young. She understood the feeling of missing her, so she quickly hugged her arm affectionately.
He asked quietly, "Ah Jin, shall we go there now?"
Jin Yu put away the sadness in his eyes and nodded slightly.
But just after they got to the other side, they were told by the staff at the door that they were not eligible to enter without an invitation.
Hearing this, Jin Yu was very surprised.
It could even be called a shock.
Even if this teahouse is exclusively for high-ranking officials to come and auction, isn't the entry requirement a bit too harsh?
Wen Chuyue, who was standing next to her, heard it but didn't feel much. She just muttered softly, "I didn't expect the rumor to be true."
Jin Yu tilted his head, puzzled and asked, "What rumor?"
The sun was too bright, so Wen Chuyue pulled her to the shade and explained in a low voice, "It's not really a rumor. The old lady wanted to bid for a necklace to give to an old friend, but she didn't want to go out, so she asked Aunt Gui to come instead. Later, because Aunt Gui forgot to bring the invitation, the staff at the door refused to let her in. Even if she called back to the manor, the staff only recognized the invitation. As for who is behind you, they don't care. In short, this teahouse has a lot of rules."
Originally, Jin Yu just wanted to go in and see what the situation was like in the teahouse, but now, she didn't even have the qualifications to enter, which made her feel a little regretful.
"Then how can we get the invitation to enter?"
At this moment, at two or three o'clock, the sun was shining brightly. Wen Chuyue saw that Jinyu's hair was wet with sweat. While pulling her hand and walking back, she said, "Those who can be invited in are all dignitaries and important people. This teahouse always holds large-scale auctions, and usually idle people are not allowed in."
When the two of them entered a coffee shop across from the teahouse, Wen Chuyue continued, "I just took a closer look, and the electronic banner said that they have an auction at 3 pm."
Jin Yu stared at the teahouse opposite and pursed her lips in bewilderment. "Will all people enter through this door?"
"Probably. I've never heard of any other side doors."
But at this point, Wen Chuyue couldn't help but become curious, "Ah Jin, isn't it said that this teahouse was opened by your mother? After she passed away, you were her first heir. Logically, there should be a lawyer looking for you, why has no one come to you in the past six years?"
Jin Yu held the glass, staring at the clear patterns on it, feeling as if his head was tangled into a ball of wool.
She sighed, "I don't know either."
If Meng Jinyan hadn't helped her get her mother's dowry back, she wouldn't even know the existence of this teahouse. But now that she knows about it, she doesn't even have the qualifications to enter.
She wanted to find her biological father, but now she was like a headless fly and had no idea which direction to take.
She retracted her gaze, raised her eyes and looked out the window again. Just as Wen Chuyue said, at this moment, some luxury cars had already appeared, and many men in suits went in after being greeted by the welcoming staff. Of course, there were also some wealthy ladies among them.
Just by looking at them, they can tell that they are either rich or noble.
The distance between her and them was not something she could change just because she wanted to.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Her mother had passed away six years ago, and the teahouse was still doing well during these six years. Who was the manager now? Could the car accident that happened to her mother and Jin's father be related to this teahouse?
Because of these doubts, she felt that no matter what, if she wanted to solve these mysteries, she had to find a way to enter the teahouse.
She has no power or influence, but even if she doesn't have it, the Meng family does. After all, Chu Yue just said that grandma had received an invitation letter before.
Thinking of this, she looked at Wen Chuyue opposite her.
"Chu Yue, if grandma receives an invitation and asks us to auction on her behalf, we are allowed in, right?"
Wen Chuyue recalled the scene when Aunt Gui came to auction on behalf of the old lady, and nodded gently, "This is possible, but it requires an extra procedure. Aunt Gui participated on behalf of the old lady, and I remember she wrote a letter of guarantee and signed and stamped it."
Jin Yu was surprised. "Is it that troublesome?"
"Well, it seems that the teahouse is afraid that the news of the auction items will be leaked, because they have their own media team to release information."
"Is it that complicated?"
"Um."
This was something Jin Yu had never expected, that this seemingly ancient teahouse, in addition to hosting all the large-scale auctions, actually had its own media team.
The so-called teahouse is not a place to drink tea, but rather a place to serve dignitaries.
Jin Yu propped up his chin nonchalantly, not understanding what his mother's purpose was in opening this teahouse. Moreover, where did his mother get the resources to open a teahouse in this location?
The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
After thinking about it, she decided to take it slow.
After rubbing her temples tiredly, she picked up her cell phone and sent a message to Huang Chengzi.
She had no idea about the teahouse for the time being, but she needed to plan ahead for the follow-up work when she returned to the studio.
A while ago, she talked to Huang Chengzi about the renovation of the entire building of CS Company and asked her to take charge of it first. She doesn't know what the progress is now.
The other party received her message and replied that he would come to see her immediately.
After putting away her phone, Jin Yu looked out the window again. This time, she saw a very familiar figure, exactly the same one she saw in the hospital elevator.
Moreover, when someone called him halfway, he turned his head in her direction, and a familiar face came into view. It was the same face in Jin Yu's memory. She didn't expect that it was really him!
Seeing him about to enter the teahouse, Jin Yu could only stare blankly at his tall figure. The next second, she murmured his name almost unconsciously.
"Brother Chen Zhou."
Wen Chuyue was originally playing Happy Candy Crush when she suddenly heard the person opposite her shouting out a name with a choked voice. She had a hunch that something was up, so she gave up the game immediately, her big eyes blinking.
Very curious, he asked, "Brother Chen Zhou?"
Seeing that the other party had already entered the teahouse, Jin Yu picked up his phone and replied casually, "He is a very good brother of mine. He has been abroad for many years."
After saying that, she found Lu Chenzhou's phone number.
