Chapter 45: Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots, I Belong to You

"You're just going to follow me?"

"Well, Mrs. Nan, even if you elope with me, I have all the money ready, and I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life."

"Who's going to elope with you?"

"Aren't we just eloping?"

"What about your company?"

Nan Xuyan was helpless, "Mrs. Nan, the absence of the president in the company will not affect any development of the company, besides, how important is the company to you?" ”

Mu Yuqing retorted in a low voice, "I'm just out to play, you don't need to come along." ”

"Everything about you, it's a big deal. Besides, my wife is so beautiful, what if someone else has a bad intention? I have to be by your side all the time to assert sovereignty. ”

Really, tease her every day, Nan Xuyan, you, the cold president, have collapsed.

"Aren't you afraid that if I find my parents, I won't go back?"

"The fallen leaves return to the roots, and I belong to you."

Mu Yuqing smiled lightly, this person is teasing her every word.

Nan Xuyan looked a little tired, there were faint dark circles under his deep black pupils, and he basically hadn't slept much in the past few days, and it was strange that he was not sleepy when he was arranging the company's big and small affairs. He leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, Mu Yuqing looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the window, and his mind didn't know where to fly.

Nan Xuyan slept very unsteadily, he opened his eyes and saw Mu Yuqing looking out the window sideways, the warm spring sun shining on her face, and the perfect side face was coated with a layer of soft light. "What are you looking at?" He had just woken up from sleep, and his voice was low and deep.

"Looking at you in the car window."

My goodness, she actually flirted with him?

"You're flirting with me? Well? ”

"No, it's a flirtat." Mu Yuqing raised his chin, what can you do!

The train was speeding away, and the rolling peaks and small rivers glowing with silver light came into view, which made Mu Yuqing, who had never been out of the imperial capital, excited. It turns out that the world outside the imperial capital is like this, with smoke curling, cattle and sheep munching grass leisurely, a harmonious and beautiful scene.

When the train arrived, Nan Xuyan got off the train with her suitcase. Mu Yuqing wanted to help him carry a suitcase but he refused, "Mrs. Nan, you are responsible for being beautiful as a flower, and I am responsible for serving tea, pouring water and carrying luggage." ”

Mu Yuqing let him go, and she looked at the big number plate at the train station - Lincheng. It turns out that her hometown is called Lincheng, which is a good name.

Lincheng is not as prosperous as the imperial capital, but it has the beauty of mountains and rivers. This is an ancient city, the building is simple and elegant, Mu Yuqing feels cordial for no reason, this is her mother's hometown.

"It's beautiful." She sighed as she walked through the bluestone alleys.

"You're more beautiful."

Mu Yuqing is wearing an amber retro dress today, and she is dignified and elegant on the bluestone slab with small steps. Her bright smile brightly compares the sun to the sun.

The two found an inn to stay, I don't know if the train was too tired after sitting for a long time Mu Yuqing quickly fell asleep, while Nan Xuyan sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her sleeping face stupidly. If the days were as warm as today, he never wanted much, just one of her.

The two of them inquired around for the next few days, but unfortunately found nothing. Mu Yuqing was discouraged, was she too anxious, it had been twenty-two years, and it was a fool's dream to find it all at once.

When they were tired of searching, they found a small restaurant to eat, and ordered local specialties. Mu Yuqing looked at the red chili peppers on the dishes and asked him worriedly, "Have you eaten the chili peppers?" It looks spicy. ”

"It's fine."

The two were eating elegantly, and Nan Xuyan keenly felt that a gaze had been searching for them, and he whispered, "Someone is watching us, in your direction at three o'clock." ”

There were only a few people eating in the small restaurant, and Mu Yuqing pretended to look up casually, it was a woman in her forties. If she was not mistaken, the woman looked at her with disbelief in her eyes, and when she met her gaze, she quickly lowered her head to eat. She retracted her gaze lightly, "It's a woman in her forties, and judging by her expression, I think we have gained something today." ”

The two of them walked slowly in the alley after eating, and with Nan Xuyan's excellent reconnaissance skills, he knew that the person was following them. He led Mu Yuqing to speed up his pace and disappeared at the fork. When the woman saw them quickening up, she hastened her pace, and when she came to the fork, she saw no two figures.

"Where did you go?" The woman was still distressed, but she heard a female voice behind her, "Auntie, what are you doing with us?" ”

The woman was startled and denied, "No, I didn't follow you." ”

"You've been staring at me in the restaurant, and now you're following me all the way, what are you going to do?"

The woman shook her head, "No, no. She slowly took a few steps back and ran.

Mu Yuqing wanted to chase her but was stopped by Nan Xuyan, "If you're in a hurry, let's go back first." ”

Mu Yuqing sat in front of the wooden window and meditated, "That aunt may know my mother, and I am seven points similar to my mother. She handed Nan Xuyan the photo that the dean gave her, and Nan Xuyan looked at it for a long time and was surprised, "Isn't this one on the left Yuan Menglin?" Did she know your mother? ”

"Who is Yuan Menglin?" It's not surprising that Mu Yuqing doesn't know her, after all, she is not a noble lady who has been in contact with the upper class since she was a child.

"Do you remember Qin Cardamom's birthday party? Yuan Menglin is her mother. ”

Mu Yuqing suddenly realized, she finally knew why she felt that Yuan Menglin was familiar, and the person in this photo was clearly her. Despite the passage of time, you can still see what she was like when she was younger. Looking at the two people who were very intimate in the photo, Mu Yuqing thought, then, will she know her story?

Li Huijuan hurriedly ran into the house, locked the courtyard door, and gasped for breath. Her husband Yang always frowned when he saw her as if he had seen a ghost, "What are you doing here?" What do you do when you lock the courtyard door in broad daylight? ”

Li Huijuan poured a glass of water and was still panting, "Do you know who I saw today?" ”

"Who? Look scares you. ”

"I'm excited, our Junrou's daughter is back."

"What did you say?!" Mr. Yang bounced up from the rocking chair all of a sudden, he couldn't believe his ears, his Junrou's daughter was back? Her daughter didn't die?

Li Huijuan told President Yang about meeting Mu Yuqing in the restaurant, "Will you admit your mistake?" You haven't seen Junrou's daughter either. ”

"Absolutely not, our Junrou's appearance and charm are first-class, and now I see that the girl and Junrou are simply printed in the same mold, but the water is smart."

Mr. Yang pondered for a moment, "In this way, you can take me to see it tomorrow, if it is really Junrou's daughter, we will have to take care of it." ”

"But, now that they've found out, I'm not sure what they're doing here."

"Okay, I'll go investigate tomorrow, don't make a mess."

Mu Yuqing and the others did not give up asking, and after asking more than a dozen people, an old lady looked at her for a long time and called out a name: "Junrou? Then he shook his head and muttered to himself: "How can it be Junrou?" Junrou has been gone for more than 20 years. ”

Mu Yuqing didn't hear what she said behind her, but Nan Xuyan did. He stopped the old lady with a big heart: "Auntie, do you know the person in the photo?" ”

The old lady took the photo in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "Who are you?" Without waiting for them to reply, they hurried away.

Mu Yuqing clenched the photo in his hand, what happened? Why do you shy away from seeing this photo?

Nan Xuyan wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and her loneliness hurt in his eyes, "It's okay, let's continue to look for it." ”

Mr. Yang couldn't sit still when he heard that someone was looking for someone with a photo, and he was 80% sure that the person who came was Junrou's daughter, so he hurried over. When he saw a man and a woman holding photos and asking one by one, his eyes were red, that female baby really looked like Junrou, that was Junrou's heart that Junrou talked about all day long.

He stood there without moving, and Mu Yuqing finally asked him, "Uncle, do you know the person in this photo?" ”

He didn't reply, he just looked at Mu Yuqing fixedly, it's really like. Mu Yuqing smiled apologetically when he didn't respond, "Excuse me." ”

"I know her."

What the? Does he know her? Mu Yuqing was overjoyed, "Then do you know where she is now?" ”

"Yes."

"Great, can you take us to her?"

Mr. Yang nodded, "You come with me." ”

Nan Xuyan led her to follow President Yang, he felt that Mu Yuqing's palms were sweating, and she was nervous. Yes, I haven't seen my mother for more than 20 years, who is not excited?

Mr. Yang pushed open the courtyard door, and Li Huijuan was busy when she heard the movement and shouted in the house: "Old Yang, have you seen it?" Isn't it like? ”

Mr. Yang didn't say anything and invited Mu Yuqing into the house. Li Huijuan looked back, she was so shocked that she almost threw down the vegetable basket in her hand, she put the vegetable basket down casually, and wiped her hand on the apron. Now she looks like a guest, and she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"Come, sit, sit."

Nan Xuyan sat down with Mu Yuqing and greeted Li Huijuan politely: "Hello, we met yesterday." ”

"Well, yes, yes."

When Mu Yuqing was about to speak, Li Huijuan cried, "My poor baby, I'm finally back, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day?" ”

"What are you crying about? Don't go and make some tea soup yet. Mr. Yang whispered.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Could this be her mother? It doesn't look like a photo.

"Kid, show me the picture again."

Mu Yuqing handed him the photo according to his words, and his rough fingers rubbed the photo and couldn't help but feel sad. His eyes were red for a long time before he spoke: "This is my sister's ......"

Mu Yuqing sat in the back mountain for an afternoon, she never thought that the mother she was looking for had already died twenty-two years ago.

"I've thought about a thousand reasons why she didn't come to me over the years, but I didn't expect her to be dead long ago. I haven't even met her once, what a stunning woman she must be. Nan Xuyan, you say, is my mother-daughter relationship with her very shallow? Otherwise, how could I have parted with her as soon as I was born, and never seen me until she died? ”

Nan Xuyan hugged her silently, he couldn't comfort her, who would have thought that this would be the result.

The mountain breeze blew on them, Mu Yuqing looked lonely, she traveled thousands of miles to her hometown to look forward to seeing her mother, but the truth hit her hard.

"She should be happy now, I'm back looking for her."
