"Aren't you going on a business trip for half a year?" Jiang Hanyan was very surprised.
He should have come back in April or May, but he came back so early.
"It's done in advance. There are still some unimportant tasks left, so I handed them over to my colleagues. Miss Jiang, I came here specially to thank you. This is a specialty I brought from the UK. It's not expensive, so you must accept it!"
Yu Lu looked rosy-cheeked, energetic and in good condition. The porcelain she sent was British, very exquisite and expensive.
"Thank you. Have you met your parents?"
Jiang Hanyan gladly accepted it. It looked like the family would be reunited.
Yu Lu nodded excitedly, "I met them yesterday. My parents insisted that I come to thank you in person. My mother is feeling much better now. She said that she would come to thank you in person when she is better."
She returned to China yesterday and went straight to her parents' home as soon as she got off the airport. They had talked on the phone countless times. Although it was the first time they met, they felt a special sense of intimacy. The three of them hugged each other and cried, tears of joy.
Her parents asked her about her life over the years and Lu Tianlang's situation. They asked about every detail. Compared with Yu Hongbing and his wife's indifference, Yu Lu felt the love and care of her parents at this time. Her heart felt as warm as if there was a little sun stationed in it.
"Don't worry, you need to take care of your mother's health slowly." Jiang Hanyan was also very happy for this family. Song Jinshu and his wife were both very good people, and finally their hard work paid off.
"Have you set a date for your wedding?"
Yu Lu blushed, glanced at Lu Tianlang, and nodded shyly, "Tianlang's mother went to calculate an auspicious date, and it's March 18th. My parents have no objection. The specific details will be discussed after they sit down and meet. In fact, Tianlang and I want to travel and get married, but they don't agree, saying that it must be a big wedding."
She wanted to go to XZ, she had always wanted to go, but she was in poor health before and could only think about it. Now that she is in good health, she wants to fulfill this dream, and Lu Tianlang also supports her.
It’s not that the parents on both sides object, they just want to have a grand wedding and after the wedding, they can go wherever they want.
"My mother is mainly afraid of losing money. She has made a lot of diversified investments in the past and plans to take it back this time." Lu Tianlang joked.
Yu Lu laughed, "My parents are just happy. They haven't had a wedding in a long time."
The Song family has almost no relatives in Shanghai. During the war, most of the Song family members went abroad, leaving only her father. No one knows how the Song family members overseas are doing, and they have not had any contact for decades.
There will probably be no more contact in the future, right? The couple didn't sit for too long. They left after giving each other gifts. When they got downstairs, they could hear Yu Lu's cheerful voice. The girl's personality has become more lively. When she was at Yu's house before, she was in poor health and had a dull personality. She is completely different from now.
Two days later, Jiang Hanyan received another call from Yu Lu.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something I would like to ask you for help with."
"What's up?"
"They are my parents' new neighbors. My parents bought a house in the current neighborhood. They get along well with the new neighbors, but something strange happened recently."
Yu Lu explained the strange incident in detail. In fact, a neighbor disappeared for no reason. No one saw him alive or dead, and no letters were left. However, there was a train ticket to another province. The train station checked and found that he had boarded the train, but there was no trace of the person.
"The missing old lady had a good relationship with my parents. She lived with her son, who had no job and lived on the old lady's pension. The old lady used to be a cadre with a high salary, but she had a weird temper and didn't like to talk to people or go out. She had difficulty walking and it was common for her not to go out for half a month. So no one in the community noticed she was missing. It was not until her daughter came to pay New Year's greetings that they discovered she was missing. The son didn't know anything about her and only said that she kept saying she wanted to go out for a walk and might have gone out for a trip."
Yu Lu talked about this matter. She also felt it was strange. How could an old lady with limited mobility suddenly disappear? "My daughter is very worried. The police have no explanation. My parents would like to ask you to help find her. The cost is no problem. The old lady's daughter is in good condition."
"Ten thousand dollars. If you agree, I'll come over."
Jiang Hanyan mentioned a price, ten thousand yuan was a friendly price.
"No problem. Aunt Liu said she'll pick you up."
"No need, just tell me the address and I'll come over now."
Yu Lu reported the address of the new residential complex. It was not in the city center, but it was also a prosperous area. In a few years, the housing prices would be around 100,000 yuan.
Lu Chen went out to do some work, and Jiang Hanyan took a taxi over. Yu Lu's family was waiting at the gate of the community, and there was also a middle-aged woman who looked anxious. Judging from her clothes, she should come from a wealthy family and would not be short of money.
"Miss Jiang, thank you for your help." The middle-aged woman said politely.
"You're welcome. I'll pay for it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Jiang Hanyan smiled and thought that it was only natural to take money to do the job.
As Liu Mei walked, she spoke indignantly about her mother's affairs. "My brother must have pissed off my mom. He was such a loser. He never did anything right. He didn't study hard in school, didn't get into college, and went to a vocational high school. My parents used their connections to find him a job at the power bureau, but he didn't work hard either. He quit within a year, and then he said he wanted to start a business. He asked my parents for hundreds of thousands of dollars to open a store, but all the money went down the drain. He didn't make a single cent back."
Jiang Hanyan listened quietly. Liu Mei's tone showed her extreme disappointment in her brother. She was so disappointed in him that her sibling relationship was almost gone.
"My dad used to be in good health, but he got angry at this beast. He died of lung cancer a few years ago. My dad didn't smoke or drink, but the doctor said it was all caused by anger. I advised my mom not to spoil my brother, and to let him learn to live independently. I kicked him out of the house and didn't give him money. Even if he had to beg for food, it would be better than living like a corpse at home. But my mom didn't agree. She just doted on her son and spent half of her retirement salary on my brother."
The more Liu Mei spoke, the angrier she became. It wasn't that she was stingy with the money. She was well off and had no shortage of money. She was just angry that her old mother had to raise a son who was not doing well for her.
But it was no use for her to get angry. Her mother didn't listen to her advice at all. She kept talking and the old lady got angry and said, "I'm not spending your money. I'm spending my own money on my son. Why are you so angry?"
This sentence completely chilled Liu Mei's heart. After that, she seldom came here. She only came to visit during the holidays, and at most called to ask about the family's whereabouts.
"I have been busy at work recently, so I haven't called for more than a month. Actually, I don't want to call. Every time I call, we always quarrel, so I just don't call. My mother is in good health. She has a physical examination every year, and all indicators are fine. In addition, my brother lives with her, so I'm not too worried. I just waited until the 30th to come over."
Liu Mei was very upset and blamed herself. If she had called earlier, the old lady might not have run away from home.
