That's right, the old man Mo Yurou mentioned was her grandfather, Yu Shikang, an eighty-five-year-old man.
However, due to the complicated relationship between the Yu family and the early death of Mo Yurou's mother, Mo Yurou rarely returned to Luo County in recent years. She basically only called the old man during holidays.
A few years ago, when Mo Yurou was not married, her grandfather would come to Luo City to visit her every year. However, as the old man got older in the past few years, the frequency of his visits became less and less.
Mo Yurou remembered that the last time they met was at her father's funeral. Later she went to England. It was said that after the old man learned about Mo Yurou's accident, he went to the hospital because of excessive worry. It was not until Mo Yurou woke up that her body gradually recovered.
Get better.
Here, when Xiao Zichen heard what Mo Yurou said, he stood up from the chair and prepared to walk to the door, speaking as he walked.
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Zichen had met Mo Yurou's grandfather before. In his impression, he was a kind-hearted little old man who spent his whole life teaching and educating people. He had an elegant literati temperament in his heart. At that time, when there was a deep misunderstanding between the Xiao and Mo families, he was considered a young man.
There are some people that Xiao Zichen likes.
Although Mo Yurou rarely mentioned this grandfather to him, Xiao Zichen also knew that Mo Yurou cared about his grandfather very much. However, the relationship with her family was complicated, so she rarely went back.
When Mo Yurou heard this, she immediately refused.
"No, I don't know what the situation is over there. I'll take a look at it when I go back. And some people over there, forget it, let's not talk about it for now. By the way, is there any news about Jiang Moyao?"
Although Mo Yurou was worried about her grandfather, she still asked about Jiang Moyao's situation.
"Not yet, Yu Jingzhou has increased manpower to search for it, so be careful yourself, call me when you get there, and be careful on the road."
"Well, I'll hang up first."
After that, Mo Yurou hung up the phone.
In Jiang Moyao's apartment, Jiang Lan had been staying in the apartment. She didn't seem to be as nervous about her daughter's disappearance as expected. At noon, she was actually in the mood to order takeout for lunch.
When Yu Jingzhou arrived, he saw Jiang Lan sitting quietly in the restaurant. There were five or six dishes on the table. Jiang Lan was watching TV in boredom while eating. When she saw Yu Jingzhou coming over, she just asked indifferently.
Finished sentence.
"Is there any news about Mo Yao?"
When Yu Jingzhou heard these indifferent words, he frowned slightly, feeling aggrieved for Jiang Moyao from the bottom of his heart. His daughter was missing, but the mother was not nervous at all and was still in the mood to have lunch.
However, Yu Jingzhou had become accustomed to Jiang Lan's indifference during this period, and after Jiang Lan asked, he only replied lightly.
"Still searching. I'll come over to see if Mo Yao has taken anything. Maybe I can find some clues."
Unexpectedly, after Yu Jingzhou finished speaking, Jiang Lan only responded faintly.
"oh!"
Then, Jiang Lan continued to eat her lunch, without even thinking of asking Yu Jingzhou if he had eaten.
After that, Yu Jingzhou went to Jiang Moyao's room. In fact, he had been here once in the morning. When he saw that Jiang Moyao's passport and ID were there, he left without even taking his wallet.
No, after searching for several hours, there was still no news about Jiang Moyao. He didn't give up, so he planned to come over to check again.
Less than ten minutes after Yu Jingzhou entered the room, Jiang Moyao actually came back, but she looked different from when she showed up at the hotel. She was wearing a knitted sweater, a ponytail, and even shoes.
I also changed into a pair of flat leather shoes.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Lan just poked her head in. When she saw that it was her daughter who had returned, the first words out of her mouth were not words of concern, but scoldings.
"Jiang Moyao, where did you go? You were making such a fuss early in the morning, can you calm down a little bit?"
"What evil have I done? Why did I give birth to a restless daughter like you? Don't you know that she is sick? You are still running around. Do you think I am not tired enough?"
Yu Jingzhou, who was rummaging around in the room, rushed out of the room when he heard the scolding. He saw Jiang Moyao standing at the door with a pale face and hurriedly walked over.
But before he got close, Jiang Moyao suddenly roared at Jiang Lan.
"Yes, I am sick, but don't forget, I inherited this disease from you. You are my mother. I have been out for so long, and when I came back, you didn't even say a word of concern. All you did was curse.
Just tell me, am I your daughter?"
"Mo Yao, don't get excited."
Seeing Jiang Moyao suddenly losing control of his emotions, Yu Jingzhou hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to hold Jiang Moyao, but Jiang Moyao rushed towards Jiang Lan instead.
"Tell me, what do you think of me? Now that I'm sick, I broke up with Zi Chen, and I have no job, do you think I can't provide you with a good life, so you think I'm a burden? Jiang
Lan, don’t forget that what you live in, use, eat, and wear is all given to you by me. Even if I am sick, you can’t do this to me.”
Jiang Moyao didn't know what happened, and suddenly his mood collapsed.
When Yu Jingzhou heard this, he remained silent. He knew that Jiang Moyao felt aggrieved. He also saw Jiang Lan's complaints and impatience during this period. It was him who couldn't stand Jiang Lan's indifference.
When Jiang Lan heard her daughter's question, she stood up, pointed at Jiang Moyao and cursed.
"Damn girl, what are you talking about? Why don't I care about you anymore? Who has been serving you with delicious food and drinks during this period. Look at what you look like now. No wonder you were dumped by Xiao Zichen. That man likes you.
For such an emotionally disturbed woman, if I hadn’t worked so hard to bring you up over the years, where would you have had the opportunity to meet a man like Xiao Zichen? Why, shouldn’t I spend some money on you now?”
"Hahaha... You worked so hard to bring me up, Jiang Lan, ask yourself, does all the money I spent studying in school belong to you? That was the alimony left to me by my father when you divorced, and...
Have you ever given me a penny since I went to college? You had the nerve to say that you gave me the opportunity to meet Zi Chen, but what about you, didn’t you get any benefits from being with Zi Chen? Where did your house in Weicheng come from?
Yeah, don’t think I don’t know, over the years, have you regarded me as your daughter or as a tool for you to make money.”
When Jiang Moyao said this, he suddenly started crying loudly.
Yu Jingzhou couldn't stand it anymore and hugged Jiang Moyao.
Just when Jiang Lan was about to retort, Yu Jingzhou's face turned cold and a cold light swept over him.
"Ms. Jiang, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to say a word now. I'm not Xiao Zichen."
It was full of warning, and Yu Jingzhou's meaning was very clear. He was not as soft-hearted as Xiao Zichen.
Jiang Lan also learned some of Yu Jingzhou's methods during this period. After hearing these words, although he was unwilling to do so, he did not say anything.
Yu Jingzhou hugged Jiang Moyao, held her tightly in his arms, and said softly.
"Mo Yao, calm down, you and I, let's go to the living room and sit for a while."
Saying that, Yu Jingzhou lowered his head and prepared to pick up Jiang Moyao.
At this time, Yu Jingzhou's peripheral vision glanced at the back of Jiang Moyao's neck, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
There was a deep mark on Jiang Moyao's neck. It was obvious that it was a bite mark, but what kind of person could bite such a place?
Yu Jingzhou glanced at Jiang Moyao and saw that she looked tired and distracted. After thinking about it for a while, he finally didn't express the questions in his heart.
Without Jiang Lan's quarrel, Jiang Moyao's mood gradually stabilized. Afterwards, Yu Jingzhou accompanied her to eat something, and then asked the family doctor to check Jiang Moyao. After Jiang Moyao fell asleep,
Just left the apartment.
Luo County is a county-level city below Luo City. It is more than two hours away from Mo Yurou's company. When Mo Yurou arrived in Luo County, it was already around one o'clock in the afternoon.
Mo Yurou's grandfather is also a celebrity in the local area. The Yu family is a scholarly family. The most famous private school in Luo County is run by the Yu family. Apart from this private school, the Yu family is most famous for its training institution.
Made a fortune in the education industry.
The Yu family's old house is located in an old community in the center of Luo County. Most of the people living here are well-known people. The Yu family's house was purchased by Mo Yurou's grandfather more than 40 years ago.
for many years.
Although this community is old, it is not old. The environment of the community is very good and it will be renovated every few years. Therefore, when you drive into this community, it does not feel old at all, but it has a kind of precipitation of time.
Looking at the tall sycamore trees on both sides of the road, Mo Yurou seemed to have returned to her childhood. She vaguely remembered that she accompanied her mother to stay at her grandfather's house, and her favorite thing was playing in the mud under the sycamore trees.
Later, her mother passed away. In the first few years, her grandfather would bring her back every summer. At that time, she always liked to move a small wicker chair to enjoy the cool air under the plane tree and listen to the cicadas chirping on the tree.
Unexpectedly, time passed by and she was already twenty-six years old, and those memories gradually became blurred. When she returned here again, she felt a little strange.
After a while, the car stopped at the door of a three-story bungalow. This was a relatively large bungalow in this community, covering an area of more than 200 square meters and a private garden of almost 300 square meters.
Mo Yurou sat in the car and looked at the closed courtyard door. It was quiet inside the villa.
"Dr. Mo, we're here, do you want to knock on the door?"
Seeing Mo Yurou sitting in the car in a daze, the driver asked.
Mo Yurou finally came to her senses, shook her head, then got out of the car and said to the driver as she closed the door.
"You wait here."
After that, Mo Yurou rang the doorbell next to the courtyard door. After a while, a woman in her forties came out of the villa. When she saw Mo Yurou, she asked with a wary look on her face.
"Who are you looking for?"
When Mo Yurou saw the person coming, she recognized that she was a nanny from the Yu family. She had seen her when she came to visit Mr. Yu many years ago, but she didn't expect that this woman didn't recognize her.
