Chapter 70
Although this guess is bold, Meng Yinyin inexplicably feels that it is infinitely close to the truth. Otherwise, why would Mr. Dong and others investigate Lu Chen's parents?
No, we must remind Lu Chen of this as soon as possible so that he knows what is going on!
Because she seemed to have revealed the Dong family's shocking secret, when a group of people gathered together to eat, Meng Yinyin made a lot of small movements at the table. She would either secretly look at the Dong family members at the table, or glance at Lu Chen worriedly, or her eyebrows would be wrinkled while she was eating, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
The Dong family had been in the capital for so long, and everyone around them was smart, so Meng Yinyin's strange behavior was naturally discovered by them easily. But because it was their first meeting, they did not ask too many questions, for fear of being accused of crossing the line.
Just because they thought that this might be their grandson's wife, Mr. Dong and his friends couldn't help but ask worriedly at the end of the meal.
"Meng Zhiqing, are you in a bad mood or have you run into some trouble? If you have any difficulties, you can tell us and we can think of a solution together."
"We met each other by chance. If so many of us work together to find a solution, we should be able to solve the problem faster."
After saying this, everyone in the Dong family looked at Meng Yinyin with sincere expressions.
However, Meng Yinyin didn't dare to answer, and even couldn't help feeling a little guilty when they asked her.
"Ah, it's nothing actually. I just suddenly felt a little sleepy. It's really nothing!"
Just kidding, how could she dare to say that she was hiding something because of the Dong family's affairs? She could only make up an excuse and say that she didn't sleep well.
This reason was reasonable, and the Dong family members did not ask any more questions after seeing this. After dinner, they said that they planned to take care of themselves and did not need Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin to worry about them.
Lu Chen was planning to go to work in the afternoon, so he naturally didn't say anything, and Meng Yinyin had never thought about entertaining them, so the Dong family decided their own itinerary for the afternoon.
However, after Lu Chen washed and cleaned up the dishes, thinking of Meng Yinyin's abnormal behavior at the dinner table, Lu Chen frowned slightly and turned around and walked directly to Meng Yinyin's door.
There was a knock on the door. Meng Yinyin was startled and asked quickly who it was. After getting Lu Chen's answer, she quickly opened the door, pulled Lu Chen into the room, and then quickly closed the door again.
Her panicked look made Lu Chen realize something and he lowered his voice unconsciously.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Yinyin could no longer hold it in, and immediately told what she had accidentally heard from the old couple of the Dong family before dinner and her own guesses.
After saying that, he asked nervously: "Do you think I am overthinking it? But it is really strange that they do this..."
After listening to this, Lu Chen frowned and thought for a while before suddenly looking up at Meng Yinyin and speaking.
"You're not overthinking it."
What does it mean?
Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Lu Chen continue, "They should be a family."
When Dong Qingcheng left him, he was actually reluctant to do so. However, Lu Chen felt that he had nothing more to tell Dong Qingcheng at that time, so even if he was reluctant, it was useless.
But facts proved that Lu Chen underestimated the persistence of the Dong family.
They were not at all helpless, they even came here in person with their entire family.
Lu Chen felt irritated for a moment, but at the same time, some inexplicable strange emotions flashed through his heart unconsciously, as if he was cherished.
After all, he saw today that the old couple of the Dong family were both over 60 years old, but they still came here from the capital thousands of miles away just to find out about his parents and even his affairs.
So is it possible that their daughter was really kidnapped by accident, and they have never given up looking for her all these years?
After realizing this, Lu Chen fell silent again.
However, Meng Yinyin did not notice his thoughts and was still immersed in her discovery of the shocking secret of the Dong family. She then subconsciously asked Lu Chen.
"So what should we do? Should we pretend we don't know or confront them directly?"
Meng Yinyin looked at Lu Chen with sparkling eyes, her eyes full of eagerness.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's face was filled with helplessness, but when he noticed the word "we" that she had just blurted out, his heart softened instantly.
He couldn't help but reached out and gently rubbed Meng Yinyin's hair, then said calmly: "It doesn't matter, let's see what they want to do. As long as it doesn't affect our lives, let's just pretend we don't know."
Meng Yinyin thought so too. After all, the Dong family members did not come directly to find Lu Chen or reveal their identities. Maybe they had other things to do. So it would be better to wait until they had found out what they wanted to know and the truth they wanted to investigate before making a decision.
Maybe when the truth comes out, Lu Chen will be able to get out of his predicament better.
So just like that, Lu Chen and Meng Yinyin unanimously decided to pretend that they didn't know about the relationship between the Dong family and Dong Qingcheng, and wait and see what happened.
…
In the afternoon, I went to work as soon as the landing time came. The sound of closing the door was still very quiet, but it woke up several people.
One of them is naturally the Dong family.
After all, it was their first time to come to the Nanjiao Brigade, and they were so close to their suspected relatives, so the Dong family members didn't sleep much. When they heard the door closing outside, they opened their eyes and looked at the sunlight outside. They couldn't help but sigh, and they only felt that Lu Chen was indeed a hardworking and good child.
In addition to the Dong family members who noticed Lu Chen's departure, there was another group of people, naturally Lu Dashan and his wife, who had been waiting next door for the entire afternoon.
Because they were worried about missing the opportunity, the couple didn't even dare to take a nap. They stayed in the yard and pricked up their ears just to hear the sound of Lu Chen leaving.
Thank God, Lu Chen finally left when it was almost time to go to work.
Here, Lu Dashan hurriedly gave instructions to Jiang Guihua.
"Go to work quickly, and ask the captain for leave for me. I'm going to talk to the guy next door this afternoon!"
After Lu Chen left, they really needed to seize the opportunity to talk to the Dong family from the neighboring capital, but why was it Lu Dashan who stayed to curry favor with them, and not Jiang Guihua?
Jiang Guihua was naturally unconvinced in her heart, and she muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but was successfully yelled at by Lu Dashan.
"You want to go? With your status, what qualifications do you have to go? You can't even speak or read. If you go, will the big shots look at you?"
After being scolded so harshly by Lu Dashan, Jiang Guihua could only accept the arrangement angrily and go to work.
Lu Dashan waited for a while again, and after making sure that everyone who was supposed to go to work had left, he prepared to pack up and knock on Lu Chen's door.
Although it was possible that Meng Yinyin was at home, what was she to him since she hadn't married Lu Chen yet? He wouldn't even take her seriously!
After changing into appropriate clothes, Lu Dashan walked to the next door excitedly and knocked on the door of Lu Chen's house.
In the yard, the four people of the Dong family were actually preparing to go out, but suddenly they heard a knock on the door. They looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked towards the room where Meng Yinyin lived.
Now that Lu Chen is out, Meng Yinyin is the only one left as the head of the entire Lu family.
Since the host is already at home, it would be inappropriate for the guests to just open the door.
But after they looked at Meng Yinyin's door for a long time, they found to their regret that Meng Yinyin had no intention of coming out, and there was no sound in the room, so she was probably still taking a nap.
The four of them were helpless and could only let Deng Tao open the door first, and then explain to the people outside that the owner of Lu Chen's house was not at home. If there was anything, they could come back later, or go to the work site to find Lu Chen.
Deng Tao quickly came to the door and opened it when Lu Dashan was about to knock on it again.
As a result, when the door opened, they saw a strange middle-aged man looking at them with an extremely brilliant smile on his face.
Lu Dashan's smile was so brilliant, even to the point of flattery, that Deng Tao naturally became defensive in his heart, and then asked calmly.
"Comrade, who are you looking for..."
As a result, before he could finish his words, Lu Dashan excitedly introduced himself.
"Hello, comrade. I'm Lu Dashan, Lu Chen's uncle. I live next door!"
What?
Is he Lu Dashan?
Deng Tao at the door and the rest of the Dong family in the yard were stunned when they heard this name.
