At this time, Liu Ying on the side grabbed the microphone.
"Ayuan, you asked earlier. I thought it would be difficult to talk too much over the phone, so I would tell you when you come back. I didn't expect that you were thinking about this and called me again. Alas... I will tell you the truth.
Right. Ah Hu was deceived into marriage."
Ah?! Marriage fraud?!
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and asked, "What's going on? He and Lili are already married, and they have invited us to the banquet. How can we say that they were deceived into marriage? Did they get a marriage certificate?"
"No." Liu Ying sighed and whispered: "I heard Ahu Niang crying and saying that Lili refused to get the certificate from Ahu, saying it was just a treat. After the New Year, Ahu urged her to apply for the certificate, but she refused.
Then he said...she wouldn't get the certificate from him. Ahu even gave her family a house and transferred it to his brother-in-law. He gave so much as a bride price...it turns out they were all here to deceive her into getting married!"
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Did Ahu say it himself? That Lili was a liar?"
"She refuses to get a certificate from him. Isn't this a fraudulent marriage?" Liu Ying asked back: "If you really want to live with him, wouldn't it be better to have more legal protection? But she has packed up her things and returned to her parents' home, so why not?"
What a life with Ahu!"
Cheng Tianyuan felt a little unbelievable and glanced at Xue Ling, who looked anxious.
"Mom, please go over and stay with Aunt Ahu, take good care of her, and give her more advice. If you feel uncomfortable, please send her to the hospital as soon as possible."
"Hey!" Liu Ying agreed.
Cheng Tianyuan added: "We are thousands of miles away now, and we don't know the details. When we get back, we can help you think of a solution."
"You guys take care of yourselves and Xiao Ranran." Liu Ying whispered: "This is a family matter after all. Ahu and Lili seem to have such a good relationship... If he doesn't come back, he probably went to chase Lili. If he
If he asks us for help, he will ask for help. It is probably because we can't help him, so he doesn't ask for help. This is not a glorious thing, right?"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't know what to say and hung up the phone.
Xue Ling looked at him and couldn't help but said, "Could it be that... we all made a mistake?"
They didn't have much contact with Mo Lili, but during the ten days or so when Cheng Tianfang was hospitalized, they had the impression that she was a warm and cheerful good girl, sincere and enthusiastic towards her friends.
Moreover, the deep affection in her and Ahu's eyes was so obvious that no one could be deceived.
How could such a person do such a thing as cheating on marriage!
Cheng Tianyuan smiled bitterly and explained: "The so-called knowing people but not knowing their hearts, maybe we were all deceived by her appearance. We have never had a close relationship with her, nor have we really understood her. We don't know the inside story of this matter, so we can't tell.
The right and wrong come straight."
Xue Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, "Wait and see! How about you find a way to contact Chen Min. He is inseparable from Ahu and should be the person who knows his situation best."
Cheng Tianyuan was embarrassed to explain: "But Chen Min's house doesn't have a phone!"
"He knows our phone number here." Xue Ling remembered it clearly and said, "Let's wait and see, maybe he will take the initiative to call."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and said: "I know his home address. I will go to the post office to send him an urgent message first, and then send him the phone number here one more time."
"Okay! Go quickly!" Xue Ling knew that he was worried about Ahu's situation. She was also worried, so she had better contact Chen Min first.
…
Cheng Tianyuan returned soon after sending an urgent telegram.
"Let's wait here. If the post office staff delivers it, it will probably be late in the evening. I hope he is at home and can quickly find a phone number to call us."
Xue Ling nodded.
After a while, Xue's father and Xue's mother came back with Xiao Ranran.
The little guy nestled in his grandpa's arms and slept very sweetly.
Mother Xue said with a smile: "He was very curious. He would look at this and that for a while, and he was very excited. When we wanted to bring him back, he still refused!"
Father Xue said warmly: "He fell asleep when I was holding him halfway. He must have been tired from playing."
Cheng Tianyuan hugged his son and smiled: "How nice it is to have grandparents take him out to play!"
Xue's father and mother sat down, turned on the TV, and drank tea while eating melon seeds.
"It's four o'clock, and the sunshine outside is gone. As soon as the sun goes out, the cold wind blows, and it's going to be cold again."
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Have you bought the food at home? Is it okay to eat jelly tonight?"
Xue's mother said: "Ayuan went shopping early in the morning. There are enough things at home that you can't finish. There are also two large bundles of jelly, which is enough for you to eat."
Dad Xue looked out the window and asked: "While the weather is still sunny, I will take you to see the newly purchased apartment and land. Do you want to?"
Cheng Tianyuan gave an embarrassed smile and whispered: "Dad, why don't you go tomorrow? I'm waiting for a call from a friend."
"No problem." Dad Xue said warmly: "Then go tomorrow. Take Xiao Ranran with you, and then have a big meal outside at noon. Bring a thermos, diapers, and a small blanket, and take the little guy out too.
.You can tell at a glance that he is a little man who is not afraid of life!"
Mother Xue nodded hurriedly and said: "They are all newly purchased properties for the family. You all have to go and identify them and take a look."
"Okay." Xue Ling agreed readily.
At this time, the phone rang!
Xue Ling went to pick him up—unexpectedly, he was looking for Xue’s father.
"I'm going out." Xue's father explained: "An old friend of mine invited me to a restaurant, so you don't have to keep my share of the dinner."
Mother Xue went into the house and took out a brand new large wallet.
"It must be windy outside again. Wear something thick so you don't catch a cold."
Dad Xue put it on obediently, put on his shoes, and hurried downstairs.
As night fell, Cheng Tianyuan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Xue Ling fed her son milk powder.
"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone in the living room rang.
Xue's mother went to pick her up. She said "oh oh" several times and quickly shouted: "Ayuan! Your friend is looking for me!"
Then, she got into the kitchen.
"I'll just come, you go answer the phone!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly washed his hands and ran out to pick up the phone.
"Hello? Ah Min? I'm waiting for you to call me! What happened over there at Ah Hu? We can't hear clearly here, so we're all worried."
The two chatted for a long time before Cheng Tianyuan hung up the phone with a sullen face.
Xue Ling hugged her son and walked over quickly, asking anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened to Ahu and Lili?"
Cheng Tianyuan sighed softly and lowered his voice: "Lili is missing, and Ahu is looking for her. Amin doesn't know the whereabouts of the two of them, so he is very worried."
"Missing?" Xue Ling frowned upon hearing this and asked, "How did it happen? What about cheating for marriage?"
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head and whispered: "Amin said that Lili refused to go with Ahu to get the certificate and kept pushing away. Later, Lili even threatened that she did not want to marry him and would never go with him to get the certificate. Then, Lili
I packed my things and went back to my parents' house. Ahu looked for me but couldn't find anyone. Mo Qianqian said some unpleasant words and was beaten by Ahu."
"So yesterday... Mo Qianqian found someone to take revenge?" Xue Ling asked.
Cheng Tianyuan replied: "Yes, Mo Qianqian found a few gangsters and had a fight with Ahu. Ahu was slightly injured, so he turned around and borrowed two hundred yuan from Amin's house, and hurriedly went to find Lili, but then he disappeared.
Got the news.”
Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, a strong sense of foreboding welling up in her heart.
What should I do? I can’t help, and I’m still thousands of miles away?!
"Brother Yuan, how about... let's go to the airport tomorrow and ask if we can advance the ticket to the day after tomorrow?"
