Chapter 256 Second Brother’s Good Friend
The two took a bus to a beach near a university. There were many reefs there, but there were fewer people and the scenery was beautiful.
The weather is cold at this time, the sea water is very blue, the smell of the sea water is very fresh, and the waves hitting the rocks are refreshing.
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the sea, breathing the fresh air, without saying a word, thinking about her sister.
Lin Rui didn't say anything either. He was also thinking about how to find Xiao Ya.
After standing on the beach for a while, the sea breeze was very strong, so they went back to the hotel.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui went to the restaurant where they had made an appointment with Ma Tianming.
The restaurant is not too big. It is a seafood restaurant run by a local. It serves local specialties and is not far from the hotel where they are staying.
When they arrived at the door, they met Lin Rui's classmate Chen Hui who had just arrived.
Lin Rui greeted Chen Hui with a fist bump, then introduced her to Chen Hui: "This is my younger sister, Lin Xiaoxia."
Chen Hui didn't have as much contact with Lin Rui as Ma Tianming, but when they were studying together, he had seen Lin Rui's photo album and knew that he only had one biological sister, who didn't look like this.
So he looked at Lin Rui in confusion: "How come you have a younger sister?"
Lin Rui said: "This is a long story, let's go in and sit down and talk."
Lin Xiaoxia also greeted Chen Hui.
After going in and asking for a private room, Lin Rui sat down and took off his coat. He then told Chen Hui about Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Mei.
Lin Xiaoxia poured them tea and sat beside them to listen.
Chen Hui kept exclaiming in amazement as he listened: "No, how could there be such a hateful person? Your two sisters have been cheated by this family."
Lin Rui also sighed: "Yes, if my sister hadn't been so capable, we wouldn't have discovered it. She might have been deceived by the Ai family her whole life."
Chen Hui looked at Lin Xiaoxia and said, "You are really smart. If it were me, I would probably be taught a fool by them."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "I was also controlled by them for many years. It wasn't until I nearly died that I woke up. Maybe God took pity on me and suddenly opened my mind."
While they were talking, another boy came in. His name was Wang Kai, the Kaizi mentioned by Ma Tianming before.
Lin Xiaoxia also noticed that the second brother really had no luck with women. When talking about Bincheng, he never mentioned a single girl, and they were all friends of the same sex.
After saying hello, Chen Hui told Wang Kai everything that Lin Rui had just said to him. He was so angry that telling others about it was also a way to vent his anger.
Wang Kai is a relatively social person. Although he is a doctor, he has a lot of social connections. He is a man of loyalty and he slammed the table in anger after hearing this.
Lin Xiaoxia looked at them and saw that they were even more excited than herself and Lin Rui. She felt that apart from anything else, making friends with these people was really worth it.
Until Ma Tianming came and saw that they had not ordered yet, he interrupted them and said that they should order first and talk while eating.
Lin Xiaoxia did not participate in ordering the dishes because she had no dietary restrictions and was not familiar with local seafood, so she let the locals order.
After ordering the food, they sat down and started talking about looking for Lin Mei.
Wang Kai said, "I have a lot of friends. How about this? Lao Lin, give me a photo of Xiaoya. I'll get it developed and then let my friends take it and ask around."
Lin Rui said: "I brought some photos. I'll give some to each of you. On the back of the photos are detailed information about the time when Xiao Ya went missing." As he said that, he took out the photos and missing person notice from his backpack and passed them to everyone.
Chen Hui took some photos and the missing person notice and said, "My second aunt drives a tram, and there's a lot of traffic there. I'll give it to my family and friends later and ask them to help find out."
Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui expressed their gratitude to everyone. This was a genuine thank you, because it is not necessary for others to help you, and the extent of the help really depends on the relationship. The three of them were really attentive and treated it as their own family business.
The dishes were served soon. These were all doctors and none of them had alcohol problems. After each of them had a glass, they started drinking beverages.
While eating, they talked about the past. Lin Xiaoxia listened while eating, which reminded her of her university in her previous life. It was a pity that she didn't have the chance to go to university properly in this life. However, she would start preparing for night school in May. She still wanted to get a university degree, which would make everything easier for her in the future.
After dinner, Lin Rui gave them Lin Xiaoxia's phone number and told them not to call his family to tell them about this, because his mother had been traumatized by this incident and could not bear it anymore.
They were all doctors, so they naturally understood this. They agreed that if there was anything, they would call Lin Rui's workplace or Lin Xiaoxia's home.
After Ma Tianming and the other two discussed it, they said that their phone numbers should also be included in the missing person notice so that no calls would be missed, especially since Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui were staying in a hotel, a temporary place, and they couldn't leave their phone numbers there for the past two days.
Lin Xiaoxia was really touched and grateful for their thoughtful idea. To be honest, if you don't think about these things from your perspective, you may not be able to think so thoughtfully.
Lin Xiaoxia remembered that the missing person notice stated that there was a paid purchase, so he took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui gave the money to his three friends and said, "If there is useful information, we must keep our promise and give a reward to the person who provided the clue. This person needs to contact you. Then you can take this money first. If it is not enough, I will transfer the money to you when I go back."
Ma Tianming quickly said, "What are you doing, Old Lin? We were almost sworn brothers back in the dorm. We really don't need this. You just found your sister, and you still have another one out there. We're friends, and we're happy to help you. Talking about money is awkward."
Lin Rui still kept the money and said, "I won't be polite with you about your expenses, but when you ask for help, don't you have to buy something for them, treat them to a meal, etc.? Can I still let you pay for this?"
Wang Kai said, "That's really not necessary. The fact that you can talk to us means you don't treat us as outsiders. Hurry and put the money away."
As he spoke, Ma Tianming had already stuffed the money back into Lin Rui's bag.
Lin Rui took it out again, and several people started tearing it apart.
Lin Xiaoxia thought about what she had said when she came here about doing the dried seafood business. It was actually a good business opportunity. If they wanted to do this, it would be best if someone here could deliver the goods to them. She had also thought about letting her second brother do some side job before. In that case, why not let them open a store together with a few friends. Bincheng would be responsible for the delivery, and Lin Rui would be in charge. She could give the three of them 10% of the shares each, which would bring them a lot of income in the future. The second brother would be the major shareholder, so he would have an industry in the future.
So Lin Xiaoxia said to Lin Rui, "Second brother, you can keep this money. When I came here, didn't I say I wanted to open a dried seafood store in Lingyuan City? This money will be considered as an investment by my three brothers. When the time comes, they will ship the goods and we will receive them. We don't have to run back and forth. This way, you all have a side job, isn't it better?"
