"Oh, oh." Zhao Guohui and Yu Meiru followed Zhou Yuanyuan's instructions. One grabbed her wallet, the other picked up Zhao Xia, and they rushed out with Zhou Yuanyuan. Neither of them asked Zhou Yuanyuan how she could find Zhao Yu's whereabouts with just her eyes closed. In this critical moment, they chose trust over suspicion.
Several people rushed out of the alley and waited for a taxi on the roadside. At this moment, Yu Meiru hated herself very much. Why was she afraid of being seen as the one who came out and didn't dare to buy a car?
These days, private cars are rare. If a family owns a sedan, their neighbors will look at them with envy and a touch of scrutiny. Those who own cars are typically officials in government agencies. Yu Meiru and her friends, while making a fortune, have always been discreet, keeping their wealth under wraps. Now, even in a hurry, they'll still hail a taxi to the airport.
The car sped all the way to the airport. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't dare to relax and kept "monitoring" Zhao Yu's movements.
Zhao Yu was no longer running around in the VIP lounge. At this moment, he was holding Zhou Yuanyuan's paper pigeon in his hand, and was obediently held in the hands of the elegant man as they walked towards the boarding gate.
Just now when Zhou Yuanyuan was arranging everyone to act separately, the paper pigeon smelled Zhao Yu's scent and landed on Zhao Yu's hand.
When the paper pigeon stopped, it automatically avoided the gaze of the elegant man and the middle-aged man with a large black mole. When the two men saw it, they thought it was a child who had accidentally dropped it and Zhao Yu had found it. Seeing that the paper of the paper pigeon was as smooth as new and there was no dirt on it, the two men let Zhao Yu play with it in his hands.
The paper pigeon had the scent of both Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhao Yu, making Zhao Yu feel very close to it. After Zhao Yu got the paper pigeon, he kept holding it tightly and was reluctant to let go.
In the airport waiting hall, the boarding reminder sounded. It was a flight from Kyoto to Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong Island? Zhou Yuanyuan frowned. She remembered that her aunt Yu Meiru's father was from Hong Kong Island. Back then, Yu Meiru had run away with Zhao Guohui to avoid her father's demands that she immigrate to Hong Kong Island. So many years had passed, and Yu Xiaohan still hadn't found Yu Meiru's whereabouts, and Yu Meiru had never sent any news to Hong Kong Island.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the elegant man carefully. The familiarity between his eyebrows and eyes, which was similar to Yu Meiru, made Zhou Yuanyuan have a bold guess in her mind.
In the next second, Zhao Yu's words cleared up Zhou Yuanyuan's doubts.
"Grandpa, Xiaoyu wants to take a plane to find mom and dad." Zhao Yu pulled the elegant man's collar and said with her little face raised.
"Be good, Xiaoyu! Grandpa will take you home soon and find your mother," the elegant man coaxed Zhao Yu. This elegant man was none other than Yu Xiaohan. Yu Meiru had been away from home for over six years, and Yu Xiaohan had been searching for her. His men had searched N City and several surrounding cities, but hadn't found any news of her.
Yu Xiaohan guessed that Yu Meiru might have gone into hiding in the north. China was too vast, and it hadn't been open to the outside world in the past few years, so Yu Xiaohan's people couldn't go north to look for her. This was why Yu Meiru had been hiding for so many years.
"Aunt, your father is in Kyoto?" Zhou Yuanyuan turned her head and asked Yu Meiru.
"Yeah! How did you know?" Yu Meiru was stunned. She hadn't even told Zhao Guohui about Yu Xiaohan's visit to Kyoto over half a month ago. It had been so long, so he must have returned to Hong Kong Island long ago. Yuanyuan was like a charlatan. Could she really tell fortunes with her fingers? Yu Meiru's thoughts were swirling.
Over the years, Yu Meiru's resentment towards Xiao Han has faded considerably. Especially after becoming a mother, Yu Meiru finally understood the difficulties parents face in raising children. Yu Xiaohan was indeed at fault, but her mother's death couldn't be entirely attributed to him. After all, Yu Xiaohan had smuggled himself out of the country to ensure a better life for his family. It was only fate that caused a harmonious family to fall apart in an instant.
"Xiaoru, is your father-in-law in Kyoto? Why haven't I seen him at home?" Zhao Guohui, overhearing the conversation between Zhou Yuanyuan and Yu Meiru, became a little restless. Zhao Guohui knew Yu Xiaohan's legend, and having such a successful father-in-law was a great inspiration to Zhao Guohui. Zhao Guohui was constantly striving to improve himself, fearing that one day Yu Xiaohan would stand before him and berate him for not being worthy of Yu Meiru.
"That old man, he never says anything nice, I scolded him and left." Yu Meiru pouted childishly, not wanting to talk about something that upset her. As Zhao Guohui had expected, Yu Xiaohan had a very bad impression of Zhao Guohui and was completely unwilling to acknowledge him as his son-in-law. Yu Meiru was stubborn, remembering how she had managed to seduce Zhao Guohui and escape Yu Xiaohan's control. Over the years, Zhao Guohui had been very kind to her, so kind that she began to believe that true love still existed in the world.
Yu Meiru was a fiery-tempered woman, even in front of Yu Xiaohan when she was upset. Without explaining her intentions to him, Yu Meiru simply dismissed him for speaking disdainfully of Zhao Guohui. She wasn't the young woman she'd been a decade or so ago, relying on Yu Xiaohan for survival. For all those years, Yu Xiaohan's position in Yu Meiru's heart had been essentially irrelevant.
"Aunt, the man who kidnapped Xiaoyu seems to be your father." Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but guess the identity of the elegant man at the airport. But wasn't Yu Xiaohan's actions too outrageous? Just because his daughter didn't want to see him, he kidnapped his grandson? This was the first time Zhou Yuanyuan had ever encountered such a strange person.
"What? This damn old man always does things for his own pleasure..." Yu Meiru couldn't curse any more. No matter what, Yu Xiaohan was her father and Zhao Yu's grandfather.
When Yu Meiru rushed to the airport, Yu Xiaohan and Lao Hu had already been detained by airport security personnel.
Seeing Yu Meiru panting, Yu Xiaohan turned his eyes away guiltily.
"Dad, why are you like this? I didn't agree to Xiaoyu and Xiaoxia going to Hong Kong Island with you, so you took them away secretly. Do you know that? I was almost scared to death!" When Yu Meiru saw Yu Xiaohan, she rushed up like a little hedgehog with sharp spines all over her body, and started scolding Yu Xiaohan.
After Zhao Yu disappeared, Yu Meiru once wondered if Yu Xiaohan was up to something. After all, more than half a month ago, Yu Xiaohan asked Yu Meiru to go back to Hong Kong Island with him. After Yu Meiru refused, Yu Xiaohan also proposed to let a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, go to Hong Kong Island to live with him.
How could Yu Meiru agree to Yu Xiaohan's outrageous request? The result was that the father and daughter parted ways unhappily. Yu Meiru knew that Yu Xiaohan was very busy and thought he had returned to Hong Kong Island long ago. She didn't expect him to hide in Kyoto and secretly do such a thing.
