Hearing the noise outside, Sister Yu ran out quickly and saw Lu Ming and Liu Qiwen standing at the door talking to Yu Yan.
Instinctively, she quickly pulled the child to her side, looked at Lu Ming carefully, and suddenly recognized him: "This? Oh, isn't this Mr. Lu? You are finally here."
"Hello, are you Sister Yu? I am Lu Ming, a friend of Du Juan. This is my secretary, Miss Liu Qiwen." After Lu Ming introduced himself, he introduced Liu Qiwen.
"Oh, I knew you would come, and I have been waiting for you. By the way, where is Sister Dujuan now? Is there any news about her? Jiuer talks about her godmother at home every day, always asking me when she can see her.
Come to your godmother." Sister Yu had an anxious look on her face.
Lu Ming shook his head silently, and then said with some bitterness: "Sister Yu, I want to see Du Juan's room, is that okay?"
"Of course, please come in. Miss Liu, please come in too." Sister Yu patted Jiu'er's clothes and said in a panic.
Sister Yu doesn't know Lu Ming's true identity either. She only knows that he is a rich man, a very rich young man, but he is very kind. It was he who redeemed Du Juan from Chang San Shu Apartment and introduced her to work in the Sheng family.
Achieved the position of manager.
Sister Yu could recognize Lu Ming because there were only photos of Lu Ming in Du Juan's room, not even a photo of herself.
Lu Ming climbed the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor and entered Du Juan's simple room.
There is only one room, one bed, one dressing table and one chair, that's basically all.
There is an old-fashioned wardrobe against the wall. The patent leather is almost peeled off, and it looks like it is at least fifty years old.
Looking at the bedding on the bed, Lu Ming could even smell the unique fragrance of cuckoos, and his eyes were a little moist.
Liu Qiwen also came up, curiously looking at the simple furnishings in the house, somewhat unbelievable that this was where Du Juan lived.
Ordinarily, Du Juan was not short of money and could definitely live in a better room. The factory also offered to rent or even buy an apartment for her, but she refused.
Liu Qiwen looked left and right, but she couldn't see any magic power in this room that allowed Du Juan to live there for so many years.
Yu Yan also followed them upstairs, looked at Lu Ming timidly and curiously, and asked, "You are my godmother's friend, so do you know when my godmother will come back? I miss her."
Lu Ming suppressed the pain in his heart and said with a smile: "Your godmother has gone to a very far away place, and it will take several years to come back."
"Then she doesn't want me, doesn't she want me?" Yu Yan suddenly started crying.
"Silly boy, your godmother loves you the most. How could she not want you? Your godmother has gone to work far away. She will come back in a few years and will live here again." Sister Yu said as she spoke.
, while secretly wiping away tears.
"Xiaoyan, your godmother said that she misses you too, and wants you to listen to your mother at home and wait for her to come back." Lu Ming gently stroked Jiu'er's head with his hand.
Liu Qiwen turned her face away. She couldn't help but shed tears, but she didn't want others to see it.
"Sister Yu, does Sheng pay the rent on time every month?" Lu Ming asked.
Lu Ming specifically called to tell Ziyuan about this matter, and reminded Ziyuan to handle it in person, and to pay Du Juan's rent to the landlord on time every month, and to keep the room where Du Juan lives.
Lu Ming's request was that nothing in the room should change, and that Du Juan should feel that nothing had changed when she came back, just like when she left.
"They delivered it on time every month, and they paid double rent. It's actually not that much. I've always been very dissatisfied. We are really lucky to meet people like you." Sister Yu said.
"Then I'm relieved. Sister Yu, you're welcome. Du Juan lives here, so you have to worry about it." Lu Ming sighed.
"Is it time for Xiaoyan to go to school?" Lu Ming asked, looking at Yu Yan who was nestling in Sister Yu's arms.
"He has reached school age, and the school is a bit far away, so I asked him to study with a teacher at a nearby private school with a few other children," Sister Yu said.
"It's better to go to a regular school. I'll arrange it. This is what Du Juan means." Lu Ming said.
When Du Juan was with Lu Ming, every time she told him about the godson she recognized, she would be extremely happy and her face would light up.
Lu Ming was willing to see Du Juan like this, she would be happy, and Lu Ming would feel at ease.
Lu Ming knew that Du Juan pinned all the things that he could not achieve in his childhood on this child.
She planned a good prospect for her godson. She wanted him to go to the best elementary school, the best middle school, and then go to university. It would be best to study abroad and become a person like Lu Ming.
Unfortunately, something happened to Du Juan, so Sister Yu did not send her child to an expensive school. Instead, she sent him to a private school with several other children.
Although education has been gradually formalized since the Republic of China, private schools still exist in large numbers. Many families believe that as long as their children can read and write, private schools can do the job. There is no need to follow the trend and spend unjust money to send their children to regular schools.
.
This is mainly due to financial considerations. After all, private schools are cheaper, while regular schools charge higher fees.
When Du Juan lived here, she had been subsidizing Sister Yu's living expenses. If something happened to Du Juan, Sister Yu would of course have to hold on to the money in her hand. The days are long and the water must flow slowly.
"Mr. Lu, there's no need. It's really not necessary. It's fine for the child to go to private school first." Sister Yu quickly declined.
"Sister Yu, you don't have to be polite. It's Du Juan's wish to send your child to a regular school. I'm just following it. Someone will come to arrange the child's schooling in the next two days. You don't have to worry about the fees and the transportation of the child to school.
.”
After saying that, Lu Ming went straight downstairs. He felt a little suffocated and could not stay in this room any longer.
Liu Qiwen couldn't say a word. She finally understood why Lu Ming was so interested in Du Juan. This girl was really a unique person.
It was the unique temperament of Du Juan that attracted Lu Ming. Of course, beauty was also a very important factor.
Although Liu Qiwen and Du Juan didn't have much contact and didn't know each other very well, now Liu Qiwen knew that she couldn't replace Du Juan's position in Lu Ming's heart.
The two of them went downstairs and said goodbye to Sister Yu and Jiu'er. Liu Qiwen's Xiaokun bag happened to contain a few imported fruit candies, so she took them out and stuffed them into Jiu'er's hands.
Jiu'er hesitated and refused, so Lu Ming knelt down and nodded to Jiu'er with a smile.
Sister Yu then said to her son, "Take it. This aunt is also a good friend of your godmother."
Jiuer smiled shyly and happily accepted the candy.
After the two said goodbye, they left the alley and got into the car. Only then did they feel like they were breathing again.
"Sir, why are you doing this? Miss Du Juan is doing well. You act like this as if you are executing her will." Liu Qiwen said with a bitter smile.
Lu Ming didn't answer. When he came here today, he suddenly thought of what Du Juan said about sending Yu Yan to school. He took care of it for Du Juan and felt better.
Can the cuckoo come back?
Lu Ming felt really unsure.
Although he also believed that the hijacker's intention was not with Du Juan, but with him. As long as he was fine, Du Juan would be fine, but would that really be the case?
It may be like this for a month or two, and it may be like this for a year and a half. So if things drag on for three or two years, will the cuckoo still be safe and sound?
When Lu Ming thought of this, he became upset and felt uncomfortable all over.
Liu Qiwen looked at Lu Ming with some jealousy, and suddenly said: "Sir, if one day I am taken away, will you be so sad?"
Lu Ming turned to look at her and said with a wry smile: "Why are you saying such unlucky words? Who dares to arrest you? Your status is different from Du Juan. You are a public official of the Republic of China government and a soldier."
"I'm just saying that if. Of course, maybe I won't be taken away, because my relationship with you is not that close, and I am not significant enough to threaten you." Liu Qiwen said with some sadness.
"What are you doing? You think I'm not sad enough or sad enough, so you have to make up for it?" Lu Ming said with some resentment.
"I didn't... didn't mean that, I... just lost my mind." Liu Qiwen also knew that what she said was a bit too much, but she came out on impulse.
In fact, Liu Qiwen already understood just now that the cuckoo is unique. This uniqueness is formed naturally and is not man-made.
Lu Ming met Du Juan in the front, and his colleague Liu Qiwen in the back. This was God's arrangement.
Lu Ming definitely has feelings for Du Juan. This kind of feeling is between the love between a man and a woman and the love between a family. Some people don't believe that there is friendship between opposite sexes. You can't say it wrong or right.
Because this boundary is too blurry, it is actually just one step away, but this step may not be crossed in a lifetime.
"Du Juan is my best friend, and you are the same, although we are still colleagues. If one day you really suffer from misfortune, I will be even more sad than today."
Lu Ming felt that his tone just now was a bit harsh, so he deliberately softened his tone and said.
"Thank you." Liu Qiwen said with a tearful voice.
"Silly girl, I don't know what's going on in your little head all day long." Lu Ming sighed.
"Of course you know, you are pretending to be stupid." Liu Qiwen wiped away her tears and said.
"How would I know? I'm so stupid." Lu Ming continued to sigh.
"Because like Miss Du Juan, all I think about is you." Liu Qiwen said and laughed again.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. These days, Lu Ming has been depressed because of Du Juan's incident.
Liu Qiwen has also restrained herself a lot and no longer teases him often. Now the little flames are flying upwards as soon as she slaps the fan, and she can't help but fall back to her old ways.
