Originally, he did have some feelings, but after she pointed it out, the romantic feelings in his heart were shattered. Zhou Mubai laughed and shook his head: "Mr. Ximo, please don't make fun of me. I am an unknown editor, how can I be worthy of you? You are now a big celebrity in our Jingjing Newspaper."
The two of them looked at each other for a while, couldn't help but smile at each other, and sat down together.
Zhou Mubai said excitedly: "Mr. Ximo, you don't know how popular your book is now! Go to any restaurant or hotel in the county, and everyone will be discussing "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"! This novel is so wonderful! I simply can't describe the wonderfulness of this novel with my limited language, it's amazing!"
Su Luo smiled and handed him a book cover. "This is the manuscript from the past two weeks. I wrote it all for you. You can take it to typeset it."
"Hey!" Zhou Mubai's eyes lit up and he took the file bag reverently.
Su Luo added: "Actually, I came here today because I want to ask you for help with something."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Mubai asked.
Su Luo: "It's like this, I want to ask about a... um... woman named Hu Fang."
This was the woman who had helped her sell the child, so she couldn't just say that she was a human trafficker.
In previous years, the human traffickers would come to the village around October, after the busy farming season was over.
She didn't want to wait that long.
What happened to Gu Xiaoer made her feel a little scared. She was afraid that the third child would be treated harshly in a strange family. It was too dangerous for her as a little girl.
The description of the third sister in the original work is the most clear. The third sister is a girl who looks very similar to Su Luo. When she grew up, she caused a lot of trouble because of her outstanding appearance. It was because of these troubles that she completely turned into a villain and became a purebred little black lotus.
However, the book does not clearly state when these troubles occurred.
It’s best to arrive in time.
Zhou Mubai frowned and asked, "Just the name and no other information? This might be difficult to find. The name Hu Fang is also very common."
Su Luo tried to look through the original owner's memory and said uncertainly, "Probably a tall and fat woman..."
She couldn't think of anything more specific. The original owner's memory was very vague, and the transaction took place at night, so she couldn't see it clearly.
She added, "Editor Zhou, it would be great if you could find a way to help me find someone named Hu Fang. With the list and address, I can check them one by one myself."
Zhou Mubai thought for a moment, then said, "Can you tell me what it is? If it's something serious, I can ask my connections to help you go to the police station to check, but I need to know why. Otherwise... you know, I wouldn't dare to take you to check on someone rashly."
Su Luo looked at him, not knowing whether she should trust this man.
Just talking about Zhou Mubai as a person, Su Luo could see that he was a good person.
A person who has an immense passion and persistence for literature, whose eyes are pious and warm, straightforward and clean, cannot be a bad person with a dirty mind.
Zhou Mubai saw her hesitation and suddenly said, "Mr. Ximo, I hope you can trust me. No matter what difficulties you encounter, as long as it does not violate morality, I will help you. This is entirely out of my respect for literature."
Su Luo thought about it for a while and decided to confess to him.
But it was impossible for her to admit the mistakes she had made in the past, so she changed to a more euphemistic way of saying it.
"It's like this. I made a mistake when I was young and had three children. I couldn't afford to raise them, so I sold them. But now I have money, so I want to find all the children. A few days ago, I found one, and there is still a daughter. I don't know where the traffickers sold her. The person I confronted at the time was Hu Fang, so I want to find her."
After Zhou Mubai heard what she said, his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
He only knew that such a young girl had a child, but he didn't expect that she had done such a shocking thing.
So shocking!
So unique!
Zhou Mubai felt his heart burning: "Mr. Ximo, you are really..."
Su Luo looked at him.
Zhou Mubai's eyes were burning: "It's so special!"
Su Luo: “…”
Please be normal, I'm talking to you about serious matters.
Zhou Mubai became more and more enthusiastic: "No wonder! No wonder you can write such a magnificent and heroic novel. You are an unyielding and proud person in your bones! I'm sorry, please forgive me for being unreasonable. Pride is definitely not a derogatory word for you. You are so special, like a rose in a cage trying to break free. You are really so special."
Su Luo: “…”
Seeing her dark face, Zhou Mubai realized that his behavior was too abrupt and quickly restrained himself.
He said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my family has a lot of rules, and I have been suppressed for too long. Anything that breaks through the secular conventions is beautiful and dangerous, charming and desirable to me. So... please don't be offended."
Su Luo laughed at his awkward look and nodded: "I see, I understand your thoughts. Don't be too polite to me, we look about the same age, and you don't have to call me "you", it sounds weird."
Zhou Mubai felt shy but also moved when he saw that she quickly accepted his embarrassing behavior.
The emotions that had been suppressed due to the loss of composure began to stir again.
How many women would be able to accept and respect his views so calmly after hearing what he just said?
Never before!
Su Luo brought the topic back to the main topic: "Can you help me find someone?"
Zhou Mubai nodded and said, "Okay."
He said without hesitation: "But it will take some time to find people. How about this, come back at this time next week, and I will sort out the list for you. If you are not busy, I will go with you to find those people."
Su Luo did not refuse: "Thank you very much."
Zhou Mubai sent her out of the newspaper office.
Su Luo did not go home immediately, as she received many looks along the way.
She was still wearing her old, baggy clothes; they were too big for her, so she had to buy some new ones.
The original body was extremely beautiful, with a smart and clear appearance, a standard beauty face, very bright, and suitable for both light and heavy makeup.
But in the countryside, dressing too flashily can easily get you into trouble.
So she picked out two popular white tops and a plaid knee-length skirt with suspenders, which are the styles that students love to wear nowadays.
She is only 23, but looks as delicate as if she were 17 or 18 years old, and is well nurtured by the spiritual spring.
Although it is low-key, there is no need to make yourself look too ugly.
