"Such a big thing! You guys kept it from me!" Lu Yan looked at the three boys in the living room, and said bitterly, "Idiot, three idiots! Big idiot!"
If it wasn't for her habit of going to bed late last night, she might have really let Shi Xuexian leave, and she would never have missed the clues of my sister-in-law in this life!
Lu Yan simply didn't know how to scold these three idiots. Lu Zhen said that she was afraid that she would lose her temper, but in fact he was the most impatient one!
Lu Zhen looked at Ye Jiaqi resentfully, and said with a snort, "Daughter is right! The false information obtained by some idiot made us almost miss the opportunity!"
Ye Jiaqi had nothing to say, but he still defended himself: "How do I know that Shi Rui actually bought two train tickets, that's too cunning."
Holding the back of his head in his hands, Liang Ting said leisurely: "During the Spring Festival travel season, there are many people, so it's normal to buy an extra shift just in case. The main reason is that some people have limited skills, so don't try to be brave."
Ye Jiaqi sneered: "I have limited skills, unlike some people, who only act after the fact and can't help anything."
Lu Zhen was used to the daily bickering between the two, so she rubbed her head troublesomely: "You two, why don't you go out and have a fight?"
Lu Yan seemed to think of something, and asked Lu Zhen: "So, Shen Kuo knew about this?"
"Um... "
"So, who said that?"
"Uh... "
Lu Zhen and Liang Ting looked at Ye Jiaqi at the same time, the corners of Ye Jiaqi's mouth twitched: "Yanyan, this is the main thing, I have to ask Shen Kuo for help..."
"what!!!"
Lu Yan rushed forward, grabbed Ye Jiaqi by the neck, and shook him vigorously: "I hate you! I hate you!!!"
"Yanyan, listen to my explanation, hey... let go, I can't breathe!"
There was a look of relief in Liang Ting's eyes, watching the excitement was no big deal, and said with a smile: "Lu Yan approached Chen Kuo to help Lu Zhen. Someone said this at least three times."
Lu Yan really wanted to kill Ye Jiaqi, and strangled him so hard that he almost rolled his eyes.
Lu Zhen quickly came over to hold his daughter back: "Calm down, even though this guy deserves death, it's not worth our tears for him, right?"
Lu Zhen pulled Lu Yan away from Ye Jiaqi, Ye Jiaqi straightened her collar, rubbed her neck, her cheeks flushed, "Little girl is getting more and more violent."
Lu Yan thought of Shen Kuo's loss of control two days ago, and finally figured it out. She looked at him angrily: "Why did you do this!"
Liang Ting looked at her and said in a deep voice, "You know why."
Lu Yan suddenly lost her voice, turned around sullenly, and ignored him.
"So you let Shen Kuo go." She asked Lu Zhen: "He is alone, what if he is in danger?"
"He... can handle it."
"You are too confident in him."
"He's Shen Kuo!"
Is there anything in this world that Shen Kuo cannot do? In just a few months, Shen Kuo led them to win the championship of the TXPC programming competition. With the desktop pet program they made, he joined AT Technology Company as a technology shareholder and began to participate in the company's daily design. dividend.
All of these are almost unimaginable achievements for several college students.
Shen Kuo led them to do it, anyway, there is nothing he can't do.
Lu Zhen always has a kind of fanciful confidence in Shen Kuo, but she firmly refuses to admit it in her daily admiration.
Lu Yan didn't have Lu Zhen's self-confidence. She was very worried about Shen Kuo, but she didn't dare to call him rashly, for fear of affecting him.
On the morning of the third day, Shen Kuo finally contacted Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen was rinsing his mouth when he received the call. When he saw Shen Kuo's name jumping on the phone screen, he almost choked to death on the toothpaste foam, so he hurriedly answered the phone: "how is the situation!"
Seeing that Lu Zhen went to the garden alone, Lu Yan rushed over, took Lu Zhen's hand, and listened to the phone with her ear—
"found it."
There was whistling wind and intermittent electric current on the other side of the phone, which could not be heard clearly, but Lu Zhen heard those three words.
Found it, he found her!
"My sister, is she still alive...?" His eyes were red with excitement.
"Alive, and in good condition." Shen Kuo said in a low voice, "She is at the farm here. I called the police, but the police said that they need to get in touch with your parents to confirm that she is really a girl from your family, otherwise they would not dare to act rashly. Send the police to the rescue."
"Okay... okay, I'll tell my parents."
Lu Zhen's eyes were red, and she turned her back to wipe her eyes.
Lu Yan opened her mouth dumbly, this was the first time in her life... seeing her father cry.
She tiptoed and wiped away his tears with soft fingertips: "Don't cry."
Lu Zhen clutched the phone tightly, gasped and said, "Thank you, Shen Kuo, thank you."
"Thank you when you come back." Shen Kuo said: "People in the village are very sensitive to outsiders. I pretended to be a vendor selling small commodities to gain their trust. Now I am guarding here. The police will take action within two days. , you will report all the expenses back to me."
"Report, report, report, I will report to you, Shen Kuo, from now on, what I earn is yours, and I can give myself to you!"
"What do I want you to do."
Lu Zhen was so excited that he licked Lu Yan's head and put it under the armpit: "I will give you my most precious girl."
Shen Kuo smiled lightly: "The deal is over."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan and Lu Zhen split up, one contacted Meng Zhining, the other contacted Lu Jian, and forced them into the private room of the coffee shop.
When Meng Zhining saw Lu Jian, a doggy man, he thought that Lu Zhen was going to match them up again, so he turned around and was about to leave. Lu Yan blocked the door and said, "Grandma, I really have something to tell you about Lu Xiaoyan."
The little aunt's name was Lu Xiaoyan. Back then, Lu Zhen named her daughter Lu Yan in memory of her.
Meng Zhining thought that Lu Yan was ill again, so he frowned and said, "Yanyan, what are you talking about?"
Lu Yan looked at Lu Zhen: "Dad, tell me."
Lu Zhen nodded, and explained the cause and effect of the matter carefully and clearly.
Meng Zhining and Lu Jian were confused by what they heard, they didn't believe it at all, they were no longer young people, and they were not as quick to accept these strange things as young people.
They still think that Lu Yan and Lu Zhen are working together to make up stories to deceive them.
Lu Zhen knew that his parents would not believe it, so he deliberately took out a photo secretly taken by Shen Kuo and handed it to his parents: "Recognize her, is she Lu Xiaoyan?"
In the photo, a girl with pigtails is standing on the edge of the field, holding a white kid in her hand, her eyes are a little confused.
Meng Zhining grabbed her phone, and her eyes turned red the first time she saw the photo.
Lu Jian looked at the photo, and then at Lu Yan, who looked like the person in the photo, she was a little dumbfounded.
"This... this is Xiaoyan! But... how could this happen? Isn't Yanyan here? Then who is this person?"
Lu Zhen hugged Lu Yan's shoulders: "I told you, she is my daughter."
Meng Zhining and Lu Jian looked at Lu Zhen as if they were insane, but they didn't believe their stories.
"You said, she is your future daughter." Lu Jian said: "You make up these stories of the Arabian Nights, you... do you think I'm an old fool?"
Lu Yan said to Meng Zhining: "Grandpa and grandma, if you don't believe me, Lu Zhen and I can do a paternity test, and the test report will tell you the whole truth. These things that you think are fantasies really happened. , but there is really no time now!"
"Yes!" Lu Zhen said excitedly: "There is no time! We must get in touch with the police over there to prove that this girl is Xiaoyan, so they can dispatch the police to help rescue her! When we rescue her, save her! Let’s talk about something else, okay!”
Meng Zhining stared at the photo for a long time, and seemed a little shaken.
"She, how did she get lost?"
"Xiaoyan is not lost at all!" Lu Zhen looked at Lu Jian and said, "It's... Aunt Shi, she sold Xiaoyan."
Meng Zhining's hand clenched the coffee cup tightly: "It's her!"
Lu Jian couldn't believe it, and asked repeatedly: "Lu Zhen, do you have evidence for what you said?"
"Dad, when the police bring him back, you will have all the evidence you want."
Meng Zhining looked at the photos on the phone, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to try to trust them: "Lu Zhen, what do we need to do?"
"We need to get in touch with the police over there, provide information, and cooperate with their rescue plan."
"Okay, we will fully cooperate."
Lu Zhen and Lu Yan looked at each other, and Lu Zhen immediately got up and went out to reply to Shen Kuo's letter.
Throughout the afternoon, Meng Zhining and Lu Jian canceled all the arrangements in their respective companies, and sat nervously in the living room at home, watching the phone, keeping in touch with the police anytime and anywhere.
Restless.
After four or five hours of waiting, finally at eight o'clock in the evening, news came from the police that the girl had been successfully rescued and the suspects, including the girl's adoptive parents, were all under control.
After receiving the news, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
The police connected to the computer video, Meng Zhining and Lu Jian squeezed in front of the LCD screen, watching the little girl who looked like Lu Yan in the video, surrounded by the strong woman Meng Zhining, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Xiao Yan, I am mother, I am mother."
Lu Xiaoyan stared at the computer screen for a long time, her eyes turned red suddenly, she covered her mouth and began to cry, feeling very emotional.
As a result, even Lu Jian couldn't help it, her eyes were red.
"Xiao Yan, I'm Dad, do you remember Dad?"
"Dad... Mom."
"Hey, yes, we are parents, Xiaoyan, we will take you home, tomorrow, not now, we will take you home now."
Lu Yan and Lu Zhen stood behind, and Lu Zhen hugged her shoulders vigorously, also very excited.
In the video, Lu Xiaoyan slowly stretched out her hand, pointing at Lu Yan: "Who is she?"
Lu Jian and Meng Zhining turned their heads, looked at Lu Yan, and were suddenly stunned.
"She...she is..."
Although they believed their words, they still couldn't accept the fantasy that Lu Yan came from the future.
Lu Zhen knew that it would take time for his parents to digest these things, so he walked over and said to Lu Xiaoyan, "Sister, I am the eldest brother."
"Brother..."
"do you remember me?"
"I... I remember."
Lu Yan looked into Lu Xiaoyan's eyes, a little surprised.
Although she was wiping tears, her eyes were very clear, consciously clear.
The police explained the situation to Lu Jian and Meng Zhining. Lu Xiaoyan was sent to this family surnamed Zhou in the deep mountains three years ago to be the daughter of the family and help the family do some farm work.
Because of Lu Xiaoyan's special background, the family didn't dare to be too demanding on her, let alone beat and scold her lightly, treating her like a kitten in the family.
Anyway, the money the other party gave them was enough to raise a hundred kittens, let alone one kitten.
But the other party has only one request, and that is to keep an eye on this little girl and never let her run away.
When Lu Xiaoyan first came here, she was crying every day, but after a long time, she accepted the reality.
Lu Yan always thought that Lu Xiaoyan was congenitally mentally handicapped, but she was not. Meng Zhining said that she broke her brain when she was a child. After experiencing the stimulation of this kidnapping incident, Lu Xiaoyan's mind became clear instead, and she was no longer as demented as before.
Two days later, the Lu family picked up Lu Xiaoyan at the train station.
Lu Xiaoyan is two years younger than Lu Yan. Because of the wind and sun these past few years, her skin has also become dark. She is small, only a little over 1.5 meters. It's not too good to wear.
After receiving her from the exit, Meng Zhining's eyes were filled with tears, and she could hardly stand up. Fortunately, Lu Jian supported her and comforted her: "Don't do this, don't cry, it will make my daughter feel even more sad."
"Don't cry, I won't cry." Meng Zhining wiped away tears.
Lu Yan was also very excited, but when she saw Chen Kuo leading Lu Xiaoyan out of the passage, she wanted to hold Chen Kuo's hand, but Chen Kuo inadvertently put his hand behind her back.
The little girl followed closely behind the boy, looking at the people around him defensively.
The smile on Lu Yan's mouth gradually faded...
Lu Jian supported Meng Zhining, and the two went up to meet and hugged Lu Xiaoyan.
Meng Zhining still couldn't hold back the tears, but Lu Xiaoyan's reaction was not that strong. Compared to her emotionally agitated parents, she acted calmly.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"It's good to come back, everything will be fine in the future."
Looking at the reunion of the family of three, Lu Yan felt that she seemed a little out of place.
Although she was also very happy that her sister-in-law could come back, she and her sister-in-law had never met each other after all, so the emotional fluctuations were naturally not as strong as theirs.
Lu Yan looked at Shen Kuo who was beside her, and Shen Kuo was naturally staring at her, with a slight smile in his dark eyes.
Lu Yan walked up to him and asked unnaturally, "Hey, are you injured?"
"Have."
Lu Yan immediately became nervous: "Where?"
Shen Kuo took her hand and placed it on his heart: "Here."
Lu Yan: ...
I didn't realize it before, but in fact, people of that era seemed to have a bit of Qiong Yao's romance, to put it bluntly, it was disgusting.
For example, her father, when it comes to love, he really has the aura of "there is no edge between the mountains and the heaven and the earth, but you dare to break with the king".
Lu Yan withdrew her hand, wanted to laugh, but tried her best to hold back: "Crazy."
Shen Kuo put his hands on her thin shoulders and hugged her tightly.
Lu Yan knocked her head on his hard chest, half pushed and half hugged him on the spot.
"I liked you first, Lu Yan."
Shen Kuo whispered in her ear, with a very low voice: "No matter what purpose you know me, it has nothing to do with me. I like you first. I don't regret it now, and I won't regret it in the future."
The corners of Lu Yan's mouth slightly pursed, and she turned her face to the side, only to see Lu Xiaoyan's dark eyes passing through the crowd, staring at her expressionlessly.
As soon as Lu Xiaoyan was picked up, Lu Jian and Meng Zhining took the little girl to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, including physical and psychological.
Apart from being a little malnourished, Lu Xiaoyan had no health problems, and Meng Zhining breathed a sigh of relief.
As for her brain, the neurologist concluded after examination that Lu Xiaoyan's mind had fully recovered, and she now had the ability to think independently like a normal person.
This made Lu Jian and Meng Zhining very happy. If their daughter could live like a normal person from now on, it would be really... really happy!
Shi Xuexian and Shi Ruicai have been handed over to the police in Beicheng. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable, and they are subject to legal sanctions.
Shi Xuexian cried in the prison and wanted to see Lu Jian, but Lu Jian didn't go to see her, he didn't even want to look at this vicious woman again.
Lu Xiaoyan's adoptive parents, the villagers surnamed Zhou, are also under criminal detention, awaiting legal sanctions.
During that time, Meng Zhining had been living in the Lu residence, and accompanied Lu Xiaoyan with Lu Jian.
Sometimes Lu Xiaoyan would tell them about her life in the village. From her clear conversation, Meng Zhining could see that Lu Xiaoyan did not leave any shadow behind. Although her life in the village was difficult, she was not bullied.
This is really... luck among misfortunes. After so many girls were trafficked into the village, God knows what kind of bad luck greeted them.
As for the matter of Lu Xiaoyan's return and the issue of Lu Yan's identity, the whole family was tight-lipped, and no one said anything.
This is to protect Lu Yan.
It would definitely not be a good thing if the news of her rebirth spread, so she only said that she had taken in a goddaughter.
Lu Jian and Meng Zhining also slowly accepted Lu Yan's identity, especially when they saw how caring and loving Lu Zhen was to this girl, they thought it was inconceivable that he really wanted to be a father.
But it's a good thing anyway, not only is the daughter back, but they have become grandparents at such a young age, which is really a happy event.
Therefore, Lu Jian and Meng Zhining's care for Lu Yan was inexplicably accompanied by the love of the previous generation, and became more and more kind.
Lu Yan could also feel Lu Xiaoyan's growing dissatisfaction and hostility towards her.
On the night when Lu Xiaoyan came back, Lu Yan offered to give up her room to Lu Xiaoyan, because this was her room in the first place, and letting her move back to the original room would help her adapt faster.
Of course, Lu Jian and Meng Zhining didn't have any objections. Anyway, there are a lot of rooms in the house, and they are all good rooms.
But Lu Zhen is different from them. In this world, no one can compare to his daughter's status in his heart.
So after closing the door, Lu Zhen said to Lu Yan worriedly: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to move, I'll go and talk to Xiao Yan."
Lu Yan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that Lu Zhen, who had thick nerves, would be the first in the family to notice some unusual embarrassment between her and Lu Xiaoyan.
"I'm too lazy to climb the stairs." Lu Yan shrugged and said casually: "The north-south orientation is very good. It turns out that the room faces west. In the afternoon, the sun shines in, and it's too hot."
Lu Zhen took a deep breath, put his hand on her shoulder, pressed it hard, and said, "Girl, you can tell me about any grievances or unhappiness."
"Oh, what are you thinking of? There is no grievance. I am also very happy that my sister-in-law is back!"
Lu Zhen looked at her worriedly: "Anyway, in this world, you and your mother are the people I care about most, you know."
Lu Yan was very moved in her heart, and pretended to be nonchalant: "I know, the best dad in the world, let's go."
"Of course I'm the best dad in the world!" Lu Zhen smiled and rubbed her head.
They didn't notice that beside the stairs not far away, Lu Xiaoyan was standing at the corner with a blank expression on her face, her hands clenched tightly on the corner of her clothes.
Throughout the afternoon, Lu Zhen helped Lu Yan move things and tidy up the room.
Lu Yan is a rich second-generation delicate girl who likes to buy, buy and buy. This is a habit brought by her previous life, so she has a lot of things in her room.
There are four full wardrobes for clothes, skirts and shoes, not to mention the bottles of skin care products on the table.
And Lu Xiaoyan watched Lu Zhen take out Lu Yan's new and beautiful skirts one by one, and Lu Yan directed him from the side: "Be careful, hey, don't be so rough, it's even crumpled for me... .”
"Ah, Lu Zhen is deformed! How can you wear it if you knead and deform it for me!"
"Just buy it for you."
"whispering sound."
Lu Xiaoyan pursed her lips tightly and looked at them without saying a word.
Why, she took over her identity, took over her territory, and took over her brother and parents for so many years, while she was living a poor life in that impoverished mountain village where no birds could lay eggs.
why...
Lu Yan noticed that Lu Xiaoyan's expression was not in a good mood, she quickly pushed Lu Zhen downstairs, and smiled at her, Lu Xiaoyan also smiled, but the smile was very stiff, giving off a gloomy feeling.
In the past few days, Lu Yan always avoids Lu Xiaoyan and tries not to have conflicts with her.
Lu Yan could feel that Lu Xiaoyan had a grudge against her, but it was not a serious matter, anyway, after the Chinese New Year, she should be going to school soon.
If you don't like it, just don't contact her. Anyway, she has parents and Shen Kuo now, and her life is already very beautiful.
As for the others, she didn't need to worry too much about it.
…
One night at dinner, Meng Zhining and Lu Jian talked about Lu Xiaoyan's abduction and trafficking. As for Shi Xuexian, Meng Zhining said that she would definitely investigate to the end.
As for the adoptive parents who accepted Lu Xiaoyan, they were also accomplices in the kidnapping. After all, Lu Xiaoyan had been imprisoned for so many years, so there was no need for them to worry about it. The law would give them the most severe punishment.
Lu Xiaoyan hesitated for a while, then suddenly said: "Mom and Dad, actually, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou have treated me very well. If possible, I hope that they will not be held legally responsible."
As soon as this remark came out, the whole family was stunned.
I didn't expect Lu Xiaoyan to say such a thing, after all... Even if they treated her well, what they did was sinful and illegal. They worked together with Shi Xuexian and her brother to imprison Lu Xiaoyan for several years!
"Xiao Yan, are you, are you serious?"
"Yes, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are not evil people."
"Whether they are villains or not, the police will have a conclusion." Lu Yan said casually, straight-hearted: "They took advantage of Shi Xuexian, this is not as simple as child abduction, strictly speaking, they should be accomplices in the kidnapping case. "
Lu Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks and said excitedly: "Why do you say that! You don't know anything at all, all of this... is all your fault!"
Lu Yan is not a bun. Although Lu Xiaoyan is pitiful, she has done nothing wrong. Why should she say this, as if her tragedy was caused by her.
During this time, she really couldn't stand Lu Xiaoyan's gloomy look at her from time to time...
"All I know is that they treat you well because they are afraid that something will happen to you and they will take responsibility for it."
"You are the liar! You are a scammer!" Lu Xiaoyan became emotional and shouted, "You stole everything from me, my parents! It's all your fault!"
In some respects, Lu Yan is very strong. As the only child who was spoiled and raised by Lu Zhen, she never swallowed her anger, not to mention, she has endured enough these days.
"It's absurd that you're pleading for real criminals and blaming me for everything."
"It was originally, it was you!"
"Even if you think people surnamed Zhou are good people, the law will not let criminals go because of 'you think' or 'you think'."
"Liar! Liar liar liar!"
Lu Xiaoyan's sudden outburst took the whole family by surprise.
"Xiao, Xiaoyan, you shouldn't talk to Yanyan like that." Meng Zhining said softly, "She is, she should be yours...uh."
She didn't know what to say, Lu Yan was Lu Xiaoyan's niece
Kind of absurd.
Lu Zhen still had to say this: "Lu Xiaoyan, Lu Yan is my daughter, and you are her elder, uh...we are all one family, I hope you don't blame her indiscriminately."
Lu Xiaoyan's eyes were red with anger: "She snatched you all away! She's a devil! She's a monster!"
"Xiao Yan, don't think so!" Lu Jian said quickly, "We are still your parents, and they love you very much!"
"But brother, brother... doesn't like me anymore."
Lu Xiaoyan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at Lu Yan angrily: "My brother only likes her! I...I hate her! Let her go! Let her go quickly."
Lu Jian and Meng Zhining immediately winked at Lu Zhen and asked him to say a few words to appease his sister.
Lu Zhen looked at her red-eyed sister, then at her silent daughter, and said after a moment of silence, "She won't go anywhere, this is my home, and my home is her home,"
