Chapter 258
Lu Huaizhi listened to her explanation, understood, and politely replied, "If that's the case, then I won't force you to do anything. I came to you today because I have a question that I want to ask you."
"you say!"
Lu Huaizhi was silent for a while, and seemed to be unable to speak.
Jin Chaochao was not in a hurry and waited for him to speak.
"The children I sponsored before were actually pretty good, smart and good at studying. I was happy to get along with them and even treated them as my own family. But after this incident, I don't want to keep them around. I want to ask you, can you send them to an orphanage? I am willing to donate more money to the orphanage to ensure that they will have enough food and clothing in the future."
Jin Chaochao smiled, "Why not? You take care of them and love them sincerely. Now that you can't take care of them anymore, the orphanage is the best place for them."
Lu Huaizhi looked solemn, lowered his head, and said with a melancholy face: "Originally they could have lived a wealthy life with me!"
He even thought about raising these children and not getting married or having children in the future.
Jin Chaochao smiled and said, "If they are really motivated, even if they can't live a wealthy life in the future, they can still become better and better. On the contrary, if they don't strive for progress, even if they have wealthy conditions, they will just be parasites attached to others over time. Do good things when you can do them. When you don't have the ability, you can withdraw at any time."
Lu Huaizhi felt a little better after hearing this.
These children were reluctant to leave him, but he knew in his heart that it would be a mistake to keep them around.
This incident is also a wake-up call.
When the children grow up, the environment in which they get along will become more complicated.
He also doesn't have time to deal with these complicated relationships.
"Thank you. This matter has troubled me for a long time." Lu Huaizhi put down the teacup and relaxed his brows.
Jin Chaochao poured him another cup of tea.
Lu Huaizhi trusted her, and the two chatted for a long time.
…
The next morning, Jin Chaochao got up early and left the capital with Yan Ma.
Lin'an City is very large, and Jin Chaochao had to ask around for a long time before she found out the location of the Qiao family's ancestral home.
She took Yan's mother and wandered around, and finally found the Qiao family.
The ancient house is very large in area. Over the years, Qiao's family has become a local tourist attraction.
No one among the descendants of the Qiao family knows where he is.
Jin Chaochao tried to search for it using her own blood, but because so many generations had passed, the connections in her blood were too few to support any magic.
Standing in front of the Qiao family compound, Yan Ma fanned Jin Chaochao with a fan, "There are hundreds of thousands of people with the surname Qiao in the whole Lin'an. How do we start looking for them?"
Jin Chaochao sighed helplessly, "Grandma asked me to come here, it must be fate. Why don't we go to the nearby hospitals and have a look. If we are lucky, we might meet him."
The two went to a large hospital in the city and asked the director about the name of a man named Qiao who had been ill for many years.
She actually found someone who matched her needs.
Qiao Enshu, 29 years old, has been receiving medical treatment all year round and spends several months in the hospital every year. He often feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, dizziness and weakness, cannot do heavy work, and even gets out of breath after walking too much.
The Qiao family is a single-line family, and their ancestors have many houses in the city.
After the urban reform, a large number of houses were demolished and Qiao Enshu suddenly had hundreds of billions in savings.
But he has been in poor health since he was a child. When his parents were still alive, they took good care of him.
Later, when his parents passed away, he was taken care of by a housekeeper and an old woman.
People around him said that Qiao Enshu had a disease of affluence, because he could not bear so much wealth in his life, so he was inexplicably plagued by the disease and no treatment could get better.
…
Once you know who the person is, it's much easier to find him.
Qiao Enshu lives in the most prosperous villa area in the city center. Jin Chaochao went there to look for her, but the security guard wouldn't let her in.
Fortunately, Jonshu's car happened to pass by the security room.
The security guard in the booth immediately stepped forward and called him, "Mr. Qiao, someone claims to be your relative and wants to see you. See if you know him."
After all, there are many people who want to meet Qiao Enshu under the guise of being relatives.
Jin Chaochao walked up first without waiting for the people in the car to stick their heads out.
When the car window opened, Jin Chaochao saw a man with a face as pale as paper and a weak breath.
At the same time, Qiao Enshu was also looking at Jin Chaochao.
"I don't know you!" His tone was gentle and soft, but it was filled with extreme indifference and alienation.
Jin Chaochao smiled, "Your great grandfather Qiao Zhizhen is my great grandfather's biological brother. I came to see you because the elders asked me to treat you."
Qiao Enshu frowned, this relationship was too old.
The same great grandfather?
The security guard almost laughed out loud, "Little girl, relatives are three generations apart, how many generations are you related to? You are simply not related at all. If you are rich, you can meet anyone."
Jin Chaochao didn't care about the bodyguard's words, she just looked at Qiao Enshu gently, "I know I am disturbing you and it does seem like I am trying to curry favor with you. I am here to treat you, you have to think it through."
The Qiao family used to be a noble family. Even though they fell into decline, they must have left a lot of wealth, including knowledge, to their descendants.
Qiao Enshu looked at Jin Chaochao.
The clothes she wore were not very complicated, even simple and elegant, but the materials used were top-grade brocade. She did not wear many jewelries, just a ring inlaid with emerald. But you can tell at a glance that the gem is worth a lot of money.
Especially her temperament. She seems gentle, but her eyes are sharp. Her every move reveals her nobility. Her voice is neither hurried nor slow, and she combines both strength and softness.
A woman like this is already rich, so why would she need to cling to someone else?
"Come with me!" Qiao Enshu asked the driver to open the car door.
Jin Chaochao took Yan's mother into his car.
The security guard stood there dumbfounded.
Can you still recognize your relatives like this?
Soon we arrived at Jonshu's home.
As soon as she entered the house, Yan's mother pointed at the glass cover in the exhibition hall and said in surprise, "Miss, isn't this bracelet yours? How come it's here with him?"
She remembered that Jin Chaochao had worn it on her wrist some time ago.
She couldn't remember the exact day she disappeared.
Jin Chaochao did not respond to Yan Ma's words.
Qiao Enshu said to Yan's mother, "This is a family heirloom left by my ancestors. My great-grandfather gave it to my grandfather, and my grandfather passed it to my father. Before my father died, he said that this bracelet could save my life."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Jin Chaochao with a complicated expression, "Is this bracelet really yours?"
Jin Chaochao nodded, "The bracelet is indeed mine, but I owe it to your great grandfather. This bracelet belongs to you now."
Qiao Enshu didn't understand what Jin Chaochao meant.
He invited her to sit on the sofa and asked the nanny to bring tea.
At the same time, the nanny also brought the boiled Chinese medicine.
The black medicine had a suffocating bitter smell that could be smelled even from a distance.
Qiao Enshu took the bowl of medicine as usual, tested the temperature, then drank it in one gulp with a frown.
