Chapter 18: My Cousin

My cousin Lu Mingfei has been missing for a year, and this year, my parents spent a lot of money to find him.

At first, the family thought it was no big deal, but it was just a child's temper, but it had been almost a month, and he still hadn't come back.

Everyone panicked and reported the case to the police station several times, but to no avail, and then, Lu Mingfei's classmates found our house.

Her name is Su Xiaoqiao, what a nice name, I heard of her in junior high school, she is a famous beautiful girl in the grade, her father is also a representative of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, how could such a person find our family.

Su Xiaoqiao greeted my parents politely, and brought a bottle of red wine to my father, which was all in English, and I don't know what brand it was, but she brought it, at least it should be more than a thousand.

Dad's sad face during this time has been replaced by a short-lived smile, why is it short-lived? Oh, that's because she mentioned my cousin Lu Mingfei.

She will come to my house, and she also mentioned the missing Lu Mingfei, she should know that Lu Mingfei is missing, so she came to comfort our family, how kind she is.

I don't remember exactly what she said next, but I can vaguely remember that she seemed to say that her cousin might have been killed, and she saw a tall man wearing his cousin's clothes.

Dad lost control all of a sudden, he jumped up and roared at Su Xiaoqiao, and said in his mouth: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu!" How could my nephew be dead! Get out! Or I'll blast you out! Get out! Don't roll yet......

Mom stopped the crazy dad, she slapped the dad directly, and the dad fell back on the sofa in frustration, like a defeated rooster.

After Su Xiaoqiao told us about this, he bowed and apologized, and then left, closing the door politely.

After that, my father resolutely stopped using the money sent by my uncle, and repeatedly emphasized that if my mother touched the money, they would divorce.

This year, life began to be tight, after all, only my father had income in the family, and although my mother was dissatisfied, she didn't say much.

There was one less person in the house, and I found that the small room that I once thought was crowded was empty and even lonely, but now I can't be happy when I wanted to have a separate room.

Although there is one less person in the family, life has to go on. Over the course of a year, my father gradually came out of his sadness, and occasionally a smile appeared on his face.

And then...... Su Xiaoqiao visited our house again.

She brought the unweighed news: her cousin was alive and had recently returned to Fuzhou.

Dad confirmed repeatedly, and after getting the same answer, he was finally ecstatic, he wanted his cousin's contact information, but was told that Su Xiaoqiao himself didn't have it.

Su Xiaoqiao told us in the conversation that the current cousin has changed a little bit from the past, so don't doubt it if you see it. That's definitely Lu Mingfei.

When Dad asked for her cousin's address, she picked up her phone and dialed a call.

"Hey, is it Uncle Chu? I have something I want to ask you......"

She hung up the phone, told us my cousin's address, and after declining the invitation to dinner, got up and left.

Before leaving, her words are still fresh in my memory, "Uncle Lu, what I said is absolutely true, and there is absolutely no falsehood." But you also have to pay attention to the fact that Lu Mingfei has really changed a lot...... If you want to meet him, please be mentally prepared, please be mentally prepared to go again! ”

She repeatedly emphasized that we should be mentally prepared, which made us feel bottomless.

What did my cousin go through this year? How is he doing? How is he feeling right now? How should we deal with him?

One problem after another has become a big stone in the middle, and my father can't come up with a way to meditate.

I proposed to make the house warmer and bring my cousin home first. Mom and Dad don't have an opinion.

And just like that, the idea was hammered out.

We spent a day setting up our room, and then drove to the address given by Su Xiaoqiao.

In the car, I began to think about everything about my cousin.

What kind of person is cousin Lu Mingfei? I remember him always acting very ...... Apathy, he doesn't care about anything, whether it's grades or life. No matter how my mother called and drank, he had an expression and a ...... Hey, I can't remember. For some reason, the cousin's face in my memory gradually blurred.

I couldn't help but ask my father, who was driving: "Dad, what kind of person do you think Lu Mingfei used to be?" ”

Dad thought for a while, and then said: "Ming Fei is an introvert when he is young, but he is a clever child, he has a shy personality, and I don't see him have any intersection with others on weekdays." What does this do, you ask? ”

The co-pilot's mother couldn't help it: "He's a fart introvert, he's a coward!" From small to large, the whole person is declining. He can't do anything, he hasn't done it well! ”

If it was placed in the past year, my father would have to quarrel with her, but fortunately, Lu Mingfei was still alive, so my father didn't bother to quarrel with her, and just reminded her verbally: "Don't talk like this when you see Mingfei for a while, in case it stimulates him......"

"I know, I need to be reminded by you!"

I felt a little lost, the three people I had been with my cousin day and night, and who had been most familiar with him in the past, had different opinions about him. What is the real him?

With the navigation "Arrive at the destination", we got out of the car, and in front of us was a 20-story building, a newly built building, which exceeded the height of the city's tallest Jingli Hotel, and I heard that it had recently been bought.

After a careful search around this building, we did not find the Huanyu Group written on the address.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "Huanyu Group won't be in this building!" ”

Dad lowered his head and pondered, and then suddenly realized: "It may be that Su Xiaoqiao has an insider in his family, and he knows that it was someone from Huanyu Group who bought this mansion." Not a single window was opened, and it looked like the company hadn't moved in yet. It is possible that Ming Fei secretly lived in it. ”

My mother looked at this building and couldn't help but sigh: "How rich is this Huanyu Group when you buy such a tall building!" ”

"You don't necessarily buy the whole building, it may just be a few floors. No, the girl didn't say a few floors, maybe she really bought them all...... No matter, it's important to find Ming Fei now. Dad walked straight to the building.

Walking into the front desk on the first floor, there was no one, only the word 'Huanyu' printed on the marble wall, and a strange sign.

It seems that it was really said by my father.

But there are so many layers, do you have to look for them layer by layer?

Just thinking this, the elevator door on the first floor opened, and a tall woman walked out.

She had an unlit cigarette in her mouth and was about to light it. Then she seemed to see us, put away the lighter, and stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

As she got closer, I realized that she was a foreigner, with waist-length black hair and a slightly Western face.

"Maybe it's a mixed race?" , I thought so.

Probably because we entered the building without permission, we were a little uncertain, and we planned to wait for her to explain.

What I didn't expect was that she spoke extremely fluent and standard Mandarin, "Now the company is not in business, and it will not accept outsiders for the time being, please go back." ”

Dad rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and smiled all over his face: "I'm sorry for entering your company without permission, we are here to find my nephew, and a classmate told us that my missing nephew lives here now, so ......"

The woman looked us up and down and asked, "What's your nephew's name?" He shouldn't be here, there are no homeless people living in this building now. ”

Dad hurriedly replied: "My nephew's name is Lu Mingfei, we won't mess with things, please give us a while and let us go to him by ourselves, thank you very much!" ”

The woman didn't seem to hear clearly, and confirmed: "Your nephew's name is Lu Mingfei?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Follow me." She turned around and led us into the elevator and pressed the button on the sixteenth floor.

In the elevator, my father couldn't help but ask, "This... Ma'am, do you know my nephew? ”

The woman fiddled with her phone boredly and didn't reply. Dad was a little embarrassed for a while.

The sixteenth floor arrived.

She ushered us into a living room and called a man.

"They say they're relatives of the 'boss', you can confirm it, I'm going to go downstairs for dinner." With that, the woman turned her head and left.

The new man gave us a strange look and reconfirmed: "You guys are really ...... Lu Mingfei's relatives? ”

My mother was a little annoyed by the question, and replied directly: "We are his family!" Did he get caught with you or what? ”

The man's face changed greatly: "How dare you!" To tell the truth, our boss is also called Lu Mingfei. “

Boss, I'm sure I heard you right. What do they mean is that my cousin is the boss here?

The man seemed to remember something and asked, "Did you get the address from a little girl named Su Xiaoqiao?" ”

"Yes!" , Dad nodded vigorously.

He dialed the phone in front of us, "The second master, there are some people in the world, it seems to be... The boss's relatives, waiting here, when will the boss arrive... It's already here, okay, okay, I'll take them there. ”

The man hung up the phone and said with a smile: "Please come with me, the boss is already coming, let's go to the rooftop and wait for him." ”

I couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but say, "Could the boss you are talking about have the same name as my cousin, who is just an underage student." ”

"The boss seems to be underage, since it was Miss Su who told you, then you didn't admit your mistake." He led us up the stairs on the rooftop.

My cousin dropped out of school for a year, and when he returned, he was the owner of a company and had enough capital to buy the building. No wonder Su Xiaoqiao asked us to be mentally prepared, what kind of urban cool plot is this.

Mom and Dad wanted to say and stopped, but in the end they didn't say anything.

The cousin in my memory also unconsciously changed from 'indifferent' to 'cold'.

When I came to the rooftop, my father was curious: "Why did you come to the rooftop to pick up... Your boss? ”

The man was also a little strange, "Maybe it's a helicopter, I don't know, the boss didn't drive away." ”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, as if to blow us away.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a fighter plane had collided with me, but when I looked closely, there was nothing in front of me.

"The boss has arrived." The man said to us, just that his expression was a little strange.

As if a layer had been erased, a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Its wings spread slightly, and the strong air currents made me unable to open my eyes, and the solemn aura of Ogu made my legs tremble.

That's a dragon! A dragon that only exists in fantasy!

But no matter how terrifying the dragon's breath was, my eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the figure on the dragon's back, compared to the hundred-meter-long dragon, his body seemed so small, but the sense of presence was stronger than the dragon, as if it filled the whole world.

That's God!

I thought so.
