"It's really unlucky to meet you today. You even wasted my meal time." After saying that, Xia Jin pulled Gu Jingmo out of the crowd. The people around watched the person leave and left to do their own things.
Old Mrs. Xia wanted to call out to Xia Jin. She had finally caught her, so how could she let her go so easily? However, before she could call out Xia Jin's name, she was frightened by Gu Jingmo and dared not move.
As Gu Jingmo was being dragged away by Xia Jin, he turned back to Old Lady Xia, made a fist with his free hand, and silently said, "Watch out for my fist."
After being disturbed by them, Xia Jin felt embarrassed to go back to the stir-fry restaurant to eat. After all, it was right in front of someone else's door and everyone saw what happened. If she went in to eat again, everyone would definitely look at her, and Xia Jin felt embarrassed.
Xia Jin and Gu Jingmo went to another street to eat some wontons, and then took the bus back home. Gu Jingmo saw that Xia Jin was in a bad mood all the way, and there was still no smile on her face when she returned home.
Gu Jingmo pulled Xia Jin and said, "If you're unhappy, I'll find someone to teach the Xia family a lesson. Aren't they very proud of having three workers in the family? How about I ask the factory to lay them off? Or I'll find someone to beat up your stepfather."
Xia Jin shook her head and said, "No, that would only backfire. Once they lose their jobs, they'll definitely blame me for everything."
"I'm going to take revenge on them myself. I want them to climb to the top and then slowly fall down. It's more satisfying to take revenge on someone yourself. And doesn't Xia Qingqing want to marry into the Luo family? I'll help her when necessary. The Luo family isn't a good place to be. Everyone in the family is a snob. Marrying into the Luo family would be the beginning of her suffering."
Gu Jingmo lowered his head and kissed Xia Jin's forehead lovingly, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say. If there's any problem you can't solve, be sure to tell me and I'll help you solve it."
Xia Jin said, "I know that with you behind me, I have the courage to move forward. With you, I have saved myself a lot of trouble."
Gu Jingmo said: "I am my baby's strongest support."
Xia Jin suddenly thought of his father, so he looked up at Gu Jingmo and said, "Brother, can you help me find my father's information? I have tried hard to recall it these days, but I can't remember it."
Gu Jingmo comforted Xia Jin: "You were so young back then, what could you possibly remember? Liu Xiu didn't tell you about your father in all these years, so it's only natural that you didn't know. Don't blame yourself."
"Let me ask the police station to check it out."
Xia Jin said, "My mother was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and my father is from the same village she went to. It should be easier to find him."
"Okay, leave it to me. Go to your room and take a nap. When you wake up, I'll bring you the news."
Xia Jin nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."
In order to prevent Gu Jingmo from asking for a reward, Xia Jin ran to her room and closed the door, cutting off all possibilities for Gu Jingmo. Gu Jingmo smiled as he watched Xia Jin run back to the room, thinking he would deal with her when he got back, so he pushed the car out and went to the police station to investigate Xia Jin's father.
Gu Jingmo sat on a chair outside, listening to the sound of the police rummaging through the archives. Because the office had moved, some of the paper materials were lost, and they were not sure whether Liu Xiu's file was lost.
Just when Gu Jingmo's patience was about to run out, he wondered whether he should call the capital and ask them to investigate Liu Xiu's life trajectory, or go directly to Liu Xiu and use some special means to pry open her mouth and find out the situation of Xia Jin's father from her.
He was torn between the two methods, wondering which one to use. There was no doubt that Liu Xiu's method was the fastest. Just as he was about to make a decision, the young police officer called out, "Mr. Gu, come and see if this is the person."
Gu Jingmo stood up and walked into the archive room. He took the file handed to him by the young policeman and looked at the photo on it. Although the woman he met in the morning was a little older than the one in the photo, and the person he met at noon had traces of hard work on her face, which was a little different from the photo, Gu Jingmo still recognized her at a glance, mainly because the person above looked too similar to Xia Jin.
Gu Jingmo took the file and searched carefully, and suddenly his eyes stopped at the last column where it said the location of going to the countryside: Xiajiadianzi Village, Niutougou Town, Ping County, Yangshi City, Liao Province.
Gu Jingmo wrote down the list of place names, thanked the police officer at the police station, and rushed home with the note in his pocket.
When Gu Jingmo returned home, Xia Jin was making milk tea. When Xia Jin was in a bad mood, she liked to drink sweet things or eat a lot. When Gu Jingmo entered the room, Xia Jin's milk tea was just right.
Xia Jin took two cups from the cabinet and carefully poured the milk tea that had been filtered out of the tea leaves into the quilt. This time, she made a lot, so there was still half a pot left in the pot after pouring two cups. Xia Jin found the glass cold water kettle she bought at home and poured the milk tea into it, so that it would be convenient to pour it out again after drinking it.
After Xia Jin rinsed the pot and put it away, she sat next to Gu Jingmo and asked him expectantly, "Any news?"
Gu Jingmo took out a small piece of paper with the address written on it from his pocket and handed it to Xia Jin, saying, "This is the address your mother had when she went to the countryside. Take a look."
Xia Jin opened the note and read it while looking at the end and said, "Xiajiadianzi Village, does it mean that my father's surname is also Xia? I didn't change my surname to Xia because my mother married Xia Jianguo."
Gu Jingmo said, "It's very likely that your father's last name is Xia. Now that you have the address, do you want to go and take a look?"
Xia Jin said, "I'm a little scared. What do you think he has become? Is his back bent? Has he married and had a new child? Am I not important to him anymore? Has he looked for me in all these years?"
Gu Jingmo hugged Xia Jin and said, "Then let's go and ask around first, okay? If you're scared, we can just watch him from a distance. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side."
"Ajin, I hope you can be bolder and go if you want to. Don't leave yourself with any regrets. If he has a new family, that's fine. Ajin, you can treat my parents as your own."
Xia Jin said, "Actually, I don't blame him for having a new family. He's had a hard time living alone for over a decade. His daughter passed away and he had no news of her. It's only natural for him to look for her again."
Gu Jingmo said gently: "Then what do you want, can you tell me?"
"Brother, please go back with me tomorrow. I want to go back and see him. Even if we don't recognize each other, I still want to go back and see him again. I don't want to leave any regrets for myself."
