Chapter 1 Searching for Relatives
Yan Jiujiu put down the book in his hand, took a sip of the coffee handed over by Chu Qing, and immediately put it lightly on the plain crochet tablecloth, the taste of the coffee beans after careful grinding was fragrant between the lips and teeth, and a touch of pleasure flashed between the eyebrows of the woman with cloudy sideburns, she rubbed her tired eyes and took off the starry gemstone ring on her index finger, tilted her head and began to knead her stiff neck.

"Miss!"
I only heard the sound of porcelain and marble table top colliding, Chu Qing with an angry breath, the soles of his feet seemed to be windy.
"Miss! I've said it several times!" Chu Qing took off a pair of soft wattles that Yan Jiujiu pressed on the back of his neck, "I'll do these things, you can read your books, drink your coffee, and listen to your music...... If it's really uncomfortable, close your eyes and think about your costume design!"
"You, you!" Yan Jiujiu smiled and said helplessly: "I'm afraid that if I do what you say, I will have to become a three-year-old child who can't take care of myself in less than a month!"
"Miss....." Chu Qing was about to open her mouth to refute while groping for the acupuncture points.
"Eh!" Yan Jiujiu screamed in pain, and his compact little face suddenly relaxed in the next second, "This is it...... This is it...... For days, I always feel that my body is not good, and I probably guessed that it is the problem of this neck, but I am always not as accurate as you!"
Chu Qing smiled: "What can I say, serving you is my business, I have to fight with me for such an errand miss!"
"You, you!" Yan Jiujiu closed his eyes and was satisfied with the massage with just the right strength, but Chu Qing's words made her laugh and scold, so he opened his eyes and pointed at the person behind him, "You little mouth.... I don't think it's just the sparrows in the manor, I'm afraid that the birds and sparrows in the Golden Mansion are all raised by you!"
"Miss....." Speaking of the Jin Mansion, Chu Qing couldn't help but say: "Miss, now this Jin Mansion is only taken care of by me and Mother Chen, why don't we hire some maids and wives to come back?"
Yan Jiujiu shook her head, she came back to Los Angeles this time to quietly investigate the disappearance of her mother and brother, the so-called tree is a big move, she doesn't want to be too dazzling, and if this matter is explained to her father, it is inevitable that he will send a large group of people to accompany her, and when she thought that when she was packing her luggage and leaving, she saw her father packing a group of maids and servants to her, she was even more sure that she didn't tell him that it was right, in order to persuade her father to let her go to her alone, it was painstaking, and after all kinds of twists and turns, her father finally took Chu Qing and agreed that he would call the patrol house in Los Angeles to let him go on the condition of being popular, but he didn't expect to just settle down and set up a mansion, the overwhelming newspaper headlines crackled like hail, and caught her off guard.
Where is she quietly returning to China?
Thinking of this, she had a headache, and immediately lifted her forehead and nodded Chu Qing playfully with one hand, "You, you, what else do you want to come? Did you follow me and make you feel wronged? If so, now I will call the manor and send someone to pick you up!"
Chu Qing saw that Yan Jiujiu was really going to pick up the telephone receiver, hurriedly pressed her shoulder, and said hurriedly: "Miss! I mean there are only three of us in this huge mansion, how cold this person is! If there is another guest or something at home in the future, Mother Chen and I will be too busy!"
"Let's talk about it later!" Yan Jiujiu said as he propped his chin and meditated, and said, "It is estimated that there will be no guests in our mansion in the future, so you can rest assured! I am at least tired of the two of you, right?"
"Miss ....."
Chu Qing was still unwilling, and he wanted to persuade him a sentence or two as he spoke, but Yan Jiujiu waved his hand, and said again and again with a small mouth, "Okay, okay, okay......", so he had to give up.
Yan Jiujiu looked at the woman who retreated with a deflated mouth, and couldn't help but feel funny, but her heart was like watching the fire, Chu Qing, the child followed her and obeyed her, and the previous refusal must have been secretly instructed by his father after prevaricating all his arrangements, but after thinking about it, she just cared about her safety, she smiled and shook her head, the Jing family and the disappearance of her mother are inseparable, more is better than less, at first she didn't want to startle the snake, but now it seems that she has to send it to the door herself.
Thinking about her, she sighed, lazily leaned on the Western-style carved fabric yew chair behind her, and casually looked at the palatial decoration of this room, all of which were the same color as the yew chair behind her, with cluster rose wallpaper, white crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, plain densely woven water pattern curtains, comfortable and skin-friendly Ostu floral carpet under her feet, and a double-run straight staircase on the second floor on the left hand side......
The luxurious and precious crystal chandelier above her head shines in the overlapping light and shadow, which is just in harmony with the unique natural luster of this yew, and the crystal clear brilliance makes Yan Jiujiu's eyes dazzle, she closed her eyes uncomfortably, and her mind suddenly flashed to the courtyard where she grew up......
"Alas...," she sighed faintly, and stopped her memory, if it weren't for the fact that this newly built mansion was only one family away from Jing Shilang's house, and it was an excellent location to observe the Jing family's words and deeds, she probably would never have bought this palace-like Western European building. But a few **** servants who secretly followed the Jing family in and out of the house tried to get some news from their mouths several times, but to no avail, she could only temporarily retire for a while, so as not to be recognized by Jing Shilang's cold-faced and cold-hearted guy, if this is the case, the clues to find her mother after that are really cut off, and it is really not good for the safety of her mother's life, I don't know how my mother is now......
Thinking of the clueless clue, Yan Jiujiu only felt a pain in his brain, and was about to get up and go outside to stretch his waist, but the tip of his nose crossed a trace of light and elegant flowers.
"Miss, this is the lily lotus seed japonica rice dew that Chen's mother has just boiled to cool, you can taste it!" Chu Qing said and put a delicate blue and white porcelain bowl in front of Yan Jiujiu, "This lily heart is all picked and ground into powder and cooked together, which not only moistens the heart but also does not feel bitter!"
Yan Jiujiu took the spoon and stirred the warm and cool japonica rice dew absentmindedly, but he was in a trance, thinking about the countermeasures to find his mother in the future, while thinking about it, he intentionally or unintentionally sent the japonica rice dew to his mouth, the japonica rice and lily in the mouth were soft and glutinous and sweet, and the aroma of the japonica rice and lily blended together, and Yan Jiujiu had eaten most of the bowl unconsciously.
Xu is stomach has energy, Yan Jiujiu suddenly raised his head and asked, "Chu Qing, which newspaper in Los Angeles has a search notice?"
"What's missing?" Chu Qing asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hmm..... An old man...," she said slowly, taking the last sip of japonica rice dew in the bowl.
"Yes, the newspaper we ordered seems to have ......."
Yan Jiujiu nodded when he heard this, but he didn't say much, there is no impermeable wall in this world, although there was no progress in the hard search and questioning sent by Henry to her for days, it doesn't mean that no one in this Los Angeles really knows the news of her mother's relatives, except for the descendants of his Jing family, she can't do anything, but if she posts an anonymous notice and pays a price higher than what he gave, it will definitely attract those who pay the hush money.
