"She abandoned us and betrayed her beliefs at a time when we were in desperate need of researchers."
"Later, she had a difficult childbirth and died on the land she had come to. Do you think she deserved it?"
She took a sip of water, her expression extremely indifferent, as if she was just talking to Ye Yun about an insignificant stranger.
Ye Yun pursed her lips and made no comment.
Tang Shu continued, "My father is a workaholic. He didn't seem too sad after losing his wife, and he didn't have much time to take care of me. After notifying my uncle, he devoted himself to his work again."
“My uncle brought me back to this land.”
"In order to protect me, he didn't dare to say that I was the daughter of a traitor. He said that my mother was heartbroken because of my father's departure, so she quit her job and returned to her hometown, where I was born."
At this point, Tang Shu's eyes brightened with smiles. She looked at Ye Yun and said self-deprecatingly, "So when I grew up, many people laughed at me, saying that I was a country bumpkin."
Ye Yun twitched the corner of her mouth.
Sis, could you please not say it in such a casual tone and sound so sad on purpose?
This is weird.
Ye Yun recalled that this was exactly what Gu's mother had said when she first described Tang Shu. The original words were: She is pretty and sensible, but her background is not good. Her biological mother is Uncle Tang's sister, and she died of complications during childbirth, so she was adopted by Uncle Tang since she was young.
She is very sensible and much more pleasing to the eye than Uncle Tang’s biological daughter.
Having said that.
Uncle Tang’s biological daughter has not shown up yet. When she heard that the person had been found, she was afraid that Uncle Tang would ask her to marry someone off, so she would rather die than go home and is hiding at her relative’s house.
"Ye Yun, you are my friend, you can't tell these things to others."
Tang Shu smiled widely.
Ye Yun nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry."
"Well, these things have been piling up in my heart for many years. After I said them out, I feel relaxed." Tang Shu felt relieved and let out a long breath.
The glass of water gradually became empty.
She slowly put down the cup and looked towards the yard again, but Angus was no longer there.
I guess he knew it was difficult and gave up.
"Let's go upstairs and rest."
"good."
The two said goodnight to each other at the staircase, parted ways, and went into their respective rooms.
Little did she know that a pair of gray-blue pupils in the back garden were always staring at the window of Tang Shu's room, with an extremely persistent light flashing in their eyes.
"Don, I won't give up."
…
The next day, Ye Yun got up early before dawn.
She first went to take a look at Xiao Chuqi's room.
Xiao Chuqi and Tian Xiaohui were still sleeping soundly, but the nanny was suddenly awakened and reflexively hugged Xiao Chuqi. After seeing that it was her, she looked obviously relieved.
"Sister, it's you..." The nanny rubbed her eyes, looking sleepy.
Ye Yun hummed, "I just came to take a look. You can sleep for a while. I will call you when we leave."
"good……"
Looking after children during the day is very exhausting. The nanny was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting each other. She hugged little Chuqi and fell asleep again.
Ye Yun tiptoed out of the room.
Uncle Tang also got up.
Perhaps he was going to send Tang Shu off to get married. Feeling sad, Uncle Tang sat on the sofa in the living room smoking a cigarette. His back looked lonely and filled with forlornness.
He took Tang Shu to his side and raised her since she was a child. She is also his younger sister's orphan.
Not biological children, but better than biological children.
Ye Yun did not disturb Uncle Tang. She walked quietly to Tang Shu's door and knocked gently.
There was no response from inside.
Ye Yun thought that Tang Shu had not yet gotten up, so she called out softly, "Tang Shu?"
“…”
Still no response.
"Are you still not up?"
Uncle Tang downstairs was disturbed by the knock on the door. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and got up and went upstairs.
He knocked on the door. "Xiao Shu?"
There was no response from inside.
"Eh..." Uncle Tang couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in confusion, "This kid is always very sensible, why is he sleeping in on such a happy day?"
He knocked on the door again.
"Xiaoshu? Xiaoshu?"
After knocking on the door several times, the sound gradually became louder, even Tian Xiaohui was awakened, but there was no movement in Tang Shu's room.
Something is wrong...Ye Yun couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart.
“Uncle Tang, do you have other keys?”
"have."
Seeing that Ye Yun's face looked strange, Tang Yueguang also realized the danger. His face tightened and he quickly turned around to look for the key in the warehouse.
Soon the spare key was brought.
As soon as the door opened, Ye Yun rushed in hurriedly, but what caught her eyes was a dead and empty scene!
It happened...
Tang Shu is missing.
