Chapter 190 Poor Man
Half an hour later, after finishing their dumplings, Nian Luochen showed no sign of leaving. Fu Shangbei looked around the increasingly bustling store and said to Nian Luochen, "Why don't you move to the car and give your seat to the newcomer."
Nian Luochen saw that many people were squatting outside eating with their bowls because they had no seats, so he nodded and agreed. Fu Shangbei took a tissue to wipe his mouth and then scanned the code to pay.
"Come often." said the boss enthusiastically.
Some people teased him, "You see he's rich, so you want to curry favor with him?"
The boss sneered, "You're being short-sighted. He and my dad are old acquaintances. I heard that he always liked to bring his daughter to eat dumplings in our shop when he was little. Then, when I was very young, Grandpa Nian also came here. I remember him. We are old acquaintances!"
"Oh my god, you know such a rich grandfather. He's a very secretive guy."
"We're all old customers. Whenever he comes, I always treat him warmly. I can't forget him. Alas, he's finally back. The last time I saw him was over 40 years ago. His daughter got lost, and he came here. I don't know if he found his daughter yet."
"He turned out to be a poor man."
Amidst all the noisy discussions, the Maybach had already driven out of the winding alley and stopped by the side of the road.
Nian Luochen didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "You might not believe it, but I have some doubts. Your daughter-in-law's mother is my daughter. Because my daughter looked like this when she was a child, and she also had a jade pendant with the word 'Min' on it. Qingyi and I gave her a nice name, Sumin."
"My mother-in-law is called Yu Sumin, Su means Suwen and Min means Congmin." Fu Shangbei raised his hand and held Nian Luochen's trembling wrist, and then felt a cold liquid dripping on the palm of his hand. He raised his eyes and met a pair of old tearful eyes.
"Is there any other evidence?" He was afraid, afraid of being disappointed, and did not dare to believe any evidence easily.
Back then, when his daughter went missing, he couldn't count how many business competitors took advantage of this to disrupt his and Qingyi's mood, and he couldn't count how many times he was deceived.
So this time, he didn't dare tell Qingyi about this incident until he got a definite answer.
"Wait a minute, I'll get the photo album from the trunk." Fu Shangbei said, pushed open the car door, got out, took the photo album, and also took a pack of tissues and stuffed them into Nian Luochen's hand.
Nian Luochen wiped his tears hastily, then carefully held the photo album with trembling hands, flipping through it. This was Yan Nuo's photo album that he had brought back from Yinwan Mansion to Yunding Mansion to use for the missing relatives notice. He had left it in the study, and Fu Shangbei took it out. Seeing the old man's excited and happy expression, he felt that this photo album was brought back at the perfect time.
The album was very thick, and Nian Luochen was slow to read through it. It was impossible for him to finish flipping through it all at once. He suppressed this desire, raised his eyes, and said seriously: "Is there any other evidence? What's the matter with the jade pendant?"
"According to the nanny who had been taking care of my mother-in-law, she had always worn a jade pendant around her neck, but she didn't know what it looked like. Later, my mother-in-law suddenly stopped wearing the jade pendant. We all speculated that Zhang Xiuli had stolen it."
"Zhang? Last name Zhang?" Nian Luochen's heart tightened.
"It's her." Fu Shangbei took out two photos, one of Zhang Xiuli's current appearance, and the other was taken ten years ago.
Nian Luochen pointed to the photo taken ten years ago and said excitedly, "That's Ms. Zhang. She said she was Su Min's best friend. Before she died, Su Min gave her the jade pendant and said they were best friends in this life."
Fu Shangbei sneered: "Zhang Xiuli is really arrogant. She is old, and according to seniority, I have to call this woman aunt. She and my mother-in-law are sisters-in-law."
"Sister-in-law?!" Nian Luochen was shocked. "She never mentioned this identity before... Damn it, it seems I was really deceived by this woman. Why did she lie to us? Since she is a sister-in-law, it will only benefit Su Min if she recognizes us."
