Chapter 53 My name is Jian Bing, and I am your mother’s assistant

This short question shocked Jin Yu.

She looked at the woman in surprise.

When she spoke, it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing her lungs.

"You, how do you know?"

Hearing her ask this, Jian Bing already had the answer in her heart. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and slowly introduced herself.

"My name is Jian Bing, and I'm your mother's assistant."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu's eyes suddenly widened.

Her mother's assistant?

However, although the woman introduced herself like this, Jin Yu still had doubts about her words. Ever since she became involved with the Meng family, she would be more cautious no matter what happened.

"How can you prove it?"

Knowing that she didn't believe him, Jian Bing quickly reached for the phone in his pocket and said, "Here are some photos of me and your mother."

As she unlocked the screen and searched for a while, Jin Yu saw a face in her memory on the screen. The woman was wearing a light blue cheongsam, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and when she looked at the camera, there was a gentle smile on the corners of her mouth. Next to her, the person in the photo was Jian Bing. The photo should have been taken many years ago, when they were still very young.

Seeing Jin Yu staring at the photo in a daze, Jian Bing hurriedly said, "Now you believe it, right? I really know your mother. I have been working beside her since this teahouse was first built."

When Jin Yu came back to her senses from the photo, her eyes were already red. She looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her with mixed feelings.

"you……"

Two minutes later, Jin Yu followed her to her office. After entering the office, Jian Bing poured her a glass of water first.

After the two of them sat down, Jian Bing couldn't wait to ask, "Where has your mother been all these years? I sent her so many emails and called her so many times, why didn't she reply?"

Hearing this, Jin Yu was stunned.

She opened her lips, but stopped herself from speaking.

Finally, he spoke.

"My mother died six years ago, didn't you know?"

"What...what?" Jian Bing blinked a little slowly, and her heart seemed to stop beating at this moment.

Passed away?

She murmured, "How could it be..."

She had been looking for her for six years.

The word "death" plunged both of them into a sad mood.

But soon, Jian Bing pulled away, "How did your mother die? Why didn't her family or lawyer come to me in the past six years? Did you know about the existence of this teahouse?"

Jin Yu shook her head. "Our whole family didn't know about the existence of this teahouse. My mother died in a car accident. After she passed away, my mother and Jin Yu...all the assets under my father's name were handled by my uncle."

"Your uncle?" Jian Bing was puzzled, then she thought of something and suddenly said, "It seems that your whole family really doesn't know the existence of the teahouse. If your uncle knew, then he should have taken the dividends that Ah Hua deserved in the past six years. But until now, the money in your mother's account has only been transferred in, and has never been transferred out."

There were too many things that he didn't understand, so Jin Yu couldn't wait to ask:

"What is going on? Why did my mother open a teahouse like this? This teahouse is so mysterious. Do you know what my mother's original intention was?"

Jian Bing sighed and said slowly, "Your mother didn't open a teahouse on a whim, and it wasn't for profit. Later, when I spent more time with her, she told me that she opened a teahouse to find someone. She said she had made an appointment with someone, and the teahouse was their secret code. She was waiting for that person to find her."

Hearing this, Jin Yu's grip on the cup tightened a little, and she didn't dare to breathe, "Do you know who she is waiting for?"

Jian Bing thought for a few seconds.

Then he said, "Maybe it's a lover."

Then he felt that it was inappropriate to say, "Your father?"

The word "lover" made Jin Yu's panicked heart beat even more chaotically. She licked her dry lips and said, "When my mother had the accident, my father was in the car, and he also passed away."

Maybe it was because she said this that Jian Bing looked at her with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought the person Ah Hua was looking for was your father..."

"It doesn't matter. Maybe the person my mother is waiting for is my biological father." At this point, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what characteristics the person my mother is waiting for has?"

Jian Bing shook her head in embarrassment, "No."

Immediately, Jin Yu lowered his head in disappointment.

After finally finding out the original intention of her mother to open this teahouse, the clue to finding her biological father was cut off again. However, she did not give up and continued to ask, "The original intention of opening this teahouse was to find someone, so how did my mother find him? According to what I know, this teahouse only entertains dignitaries and even the invitations are only given to powerful people. Ordinary people can't get in at all. If the person my mother is looking for is just an ordinary person, then he won't even have a chance to enter this door."

Just like a week ago, she was blocked outside by staff.

Seeing that she had finished the water in her cup, Jian Bing poured her another cup. "No, I am sure that the person Ah Hua is looking for is of a special status. At least, not someone that ordinary people can approach. She opened this teahouse to make friends with those extremely rich and powerful people and get information. But to be honest, I still don't know who she is looking for."

Having said that, Jian Bing suddenly remembered another important thing.

Thinking of that, her expression became solemn.

"Your mother worked hard to run this teahouse. It was her hard work and the only signal she used to find someone. But now, a shareholder with great influence in the teahouse wants to sell her shares. Once she sells her shares, she will indirectly sell the teahouse. From what I understand, once this teahouse is sold, its future business will not be auctioning. More seriously, the appearance of this teahouse is likely to change significantly."

Jin Yu knew that she definitely didn't just want to tell him about this, so he asked, "What can I do?"

Jian Bing: "You are your mother's heir. Now that she has passed away, her shares in the teahouse should be inherited by you. I hope you can manage the teahouse."

“But I don’t understand anything.”

Jian Bing patted her hands and said, "I will help you."

When she said this, Jin Yu clearly saw the sincerity and determination in her eyes.

Later, because the staff came to see Jian Bing for important matters, the two had to hastily add each other on WeChat and said they would find time to talk next time.

After Jin Yu left her office, she immediately received a message from Lu Chenzhou, "Ah Yu, I haven't finished my work here yet. I'll meet you and Xiao Qi next time."

When she saw the word "Xiao Qi", she couldn't control her emotions, she stopped in her tracks, and in an instant, tears blurred her vision.

He didn't know that Jin Qi had been in a coma for six years.

But she didn't tell him about this. She simply said "OK" and hung up her phone.

After learning from Jian Bing about her mother's original intention of opening a teahouse, she now feels like she's on a roller coaster. At first she thought things would turn out well, but she never expected that the teahouse would be sold by the second largest shareholder. Once that person's shares were sold, the buyer would buy some shares from other employees of the teahouse at a high price. Then the person with the most say in the teahouse would change.

If they don't have the right to speak, then the reputation that her mother has worked hard for more than ten years to build will be destroyed in an instant.

In this way, her biological father could never be found again.

Thinking of the upcoming difficulties, she thought of Meng Jinyan first. Coincidentally, just when she wanted to ask him for help, he sent her a message first.

[Meng Jinyan]: Let me tell you about your mother.
