"No. 508 Wenhua Road, No. 508 Ronghua Community, Building 3, ...... 801"

The next morning, Lu Chen took Shen Xuening to follow the address on an old kraft paper envelope and searched all the way to the destination.

"Xue'er, this is 508 Wenhua Road. ”

Lu Chen looked at the number displayed on the road sign against the address, and pointed to the community in front.

Shen Xue Ning looked in the direction Lu Chen pointed out, nodded silently, her peach blossom eyes were full of complexity, and she involuntarily clenched Lu Chen's hand.

"It's okay, let's go and see, no matter what the result is, I'm there for you. ”

Lu Chen looked at her and said seriously.

Shen Xuening looked at the firmness in the other party's eyes, smiled and nodded.

Wenhua Road belongs to the old city of Yunhai City, which belonged to the rich area in the 90s, but after 2000, Yunhai City as a whole developed to the east, and this piece is becoming more and more deserted, leaving more places of interest.

Ronghua community is built with the mountain, in front of the green road, both sides are planted with hundred-year-old banyan trees, intertwined, very spectacular, the rear is the cloud sea gourd mountain, one large and one small two mountains are connected, like a half-lying gourd.

Close to the community, the iron gate is closed, and there is no free access.

Lu Chen leaned on the door and looked in, and saw a security room on the right-hand side, the door was open, and the sound of opera was faintly heard in the room.

"Hello, may I ask anyone?"

Lu Chen raised his voice and shouted a few times towards the security room.

After waiting for a minute, there was still no movement, Lu Chen shouted and slammed the door again this time, knocking on the big iron door.

Shen Xuening saw Lu Chen's actions, and was so nervous that she grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes.

Sure enough, the rough point still worked, or heard the sound, and an old man came out of the security room, about 60 years old, with gray hair and a little hunchbacked.

"Who are you, and why are you slamming the door?"

With anger on his face, the old man yelled at Lu Chen from afar.

"Hello grandpa, we are here to find someone. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I used a little more to knock on the door just now, because no one answered the door after shouting for a long time, I'm really sorry." ”

After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, the anger on the old man's face eased slightly, and perhaps the other party also knew that his ears were not good, so he approached and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Chen took out a Chinese cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the other party, then took out a cowhide envelope and opened it and asked, "Let's find the person at this address, Guo Lijuan from Building 3 801." ”

The old man glanced at the cowhide envelope, took the cigarette behind his ear and said, "Then you can call the other party, and if the other party agrees, I will let you in." ”

"Uncle, let's not hide it, we don't have each other's contact information, this envelope is still many years ago. ”

Lu Chen held Shen Xuening beside him: "This is my girlfriend, and I am also Guo Lijuan's daughter, my mother and daughter were separated many years ago, and I have been looking for many years to find this, I hope you will be accommodating." ”

After speaking, Lu Chen took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed the whole pack into the security guard's hand: "Help." ”

The security guard refused politely, but Lu Chen pressed it tightly, and the security guard accepted it, and his attitude changed significantly, opened the door, and let Lu Chen in.

"Building 3 is over there, turn left and enter from this side. ”

Uncle helped Lu Chen guide the way.

Lu Chen and Shen Xue thanked the security guards and slowly walked towards Building 3.

The closer the distance, the thicker the thoughts, and the more nervous the mood became, although Shen Xuening didn't speak the whole time, Lu Chen could tell from her sweaty palm that the other party was very nervous.

The community is in disrepair, the green plants are withered, the grass is bare, and in less than 2 minutes, 3 buildings are in front of you, a 10-story building with a sense of age and yellowed walls.

"I... I'm afraid ......"

Shen Xue stared at Lu Chen, hesitated for a moment, and stopped.

"Xue'er, don't be afraid, I have everything with me. ”

Lu Chen gently brushed her hair and looked at her.

Although she was encouraged by Lu Chen, she still stood still, as if her feet had been filled with lead, which was extremely heavy.

"Well, I'll take a look, you're waiting for me here?"

Lu Chen looked at the other party and hesitated, he knew Shen Xuening's feelings, he wanted to see but was afraid to meet, after all, his biological mother had abandoned him for many years, and no one could say whether it would be joy or sadness to meet again.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Shen Xuening hesitated and nodded innocently.

Lu Chen kissed her on the forehead and told her to wait for her on a stone chair under the shade of green.

The iron doors on the first floor of the 3 buildings are open, and you can enter directly by pushing the door.

There is no elevator in the small building, you need to walk up, Lu Chen is out of breath when he climbs up, fortunately there are only two households on each floor, it is not difficult to find.

Lu Chen looked at the house number of 801 and gently rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang "Ding Dong Ding Dong", but no one answered the door.

"Did you move?"

Lu Chen muttered in his heart.

Just as Lu Chen was about to ring the doorbell for the second time, there was a bang, and the iron door opened.

"Who are you looking for?"

A middle-aged woman in her 40s looked at Lu Chen in surprise and asked.

The woman was wearing a home nightdress, with short shoulder-length hair, her eyebrows were somewhat similar to Shen Xuening, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled that did not match her age, Lu Chen guessed that this person should be Guo Lijuan.

"Hello, are you Aunt Guo Lijuan?"

Lu Chen asked politely.

"Hello, I'm Guo Lijuan, who are you?"

Guo Lijuan looked at Lu Chen unexpectedly and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"Hello Auntie. ”

Lu Chen bowed down and said hello and replied, "I'm Xue Ning's boyfriend, Lu Chen." ”

"Snow... Xue Ning?"

The woman's mouth opened wide in surprise, her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she looked at Lu Chen's complicated expression.

The other party's performance made Lu Chen very satisfied, at least it proved that the other party still had feelings for Shen Xuening.

"Snow... Is Xue Ning okay?"

Guo Lijuan asked weakly, to Lu Chen's surprise, she didn't seem to have any other surprises or thoughts of inviting herself into the door.

With questions, Lu Chen nodded slightly: "Well, she is quite good, very motivated, she has just entered Yunhai University, and she is downstairs at the moment." ”

"What? downstairs?"

Guo Lijuan's face changed greatly, and then she opened the door and wanted to go out.

"Mom's ......"

At this moment, a boy about five years old in the house called out to her, Guo Lijuan paused when she heard the sound, turned around and hugged the child.

Lu Chen probably understood that the other party had remarried and had a new child, but this didn't seem to be a reason for her to ignore Shen Xuening for so many years.

"Cher is downstairs, aren't you going to meet each other?"

Lu Chen stared at the other party and asked.

"See... Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes. ”

Guo Lijuan hesitated, replied to Lu Chen, and then entered the house.

Lu Chen stood in the corridor, idle and bored and smoked.

Five minutes later, Guo Lijuan changed her clothes, ordinary T-shirt and uniform pants, and explained that the boy wanted to lock the iron door after a few sounds.

However, at the moment of locking the door, the door at the entrance of the stairway opened, and out came a middle-aged man with a full beard and a decadent face, covered in alcohol and with a hangover in a daze.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as the middle-aged man saw Guo Lijuan, he asked coldly.

"Who is he?"

The middle-aged man noticed Lu Chen, and his face became even more gloomy: "You slut, don't tell me, you're having a private meeting with a wild man?"

Hearing the other party's words, Guo Lijuan shuddered in fright, and Lu Chen's face instantly turned cold.

Just as Lu Chen was about to reply, Guo Lijuan hurriedly responded: "What nonsense are you talking about? How old is this kid? People are just looking for the wrong door." ”

Then, Guo Lijuan said to Lu Chen: "Young man, this is 3 buildings, and 4 buildings are in the back." ”

After speaking, she kept giving Lu Chen a look, with pleading in her eyes.

Lu Chen understood what was going on even if he was stupid, he kept his voice silent, stared at Guo Lijuan for a while, and turned around to leave without saying a word.

"Hey, why are you drinking like this again?"

Guo Lijuan ignored Lu Chen and hurriedly went over to help the middle-aged man.

"If you don't take care of it, if I hadn't married your broom star, I would have been like this?"

The man swept away Guo Lijuan's hand with disgust, and walked in crookedly holding on to the wall: "Go and release the water, I want to take a bath and sleep." ”

"Okay, okay, be careful, be careful of falling. ”

Guo Lijuan was scolded by the other party, not only was she not angry, but continued to nod and serve.

With the iron door closed, Lu Chen basically guessed the situation of this house, and his heart was panicked, and he felt distressed when he thought that Shen Baobao was still waiting downstairs.

He smoked another cigarette in the hallway and decided to keep it a secret for the time being, that hope is better than despair.
