Joey didn't expect this to be the case.
Before coming here, she had imagined that the relationship between Lu Lu's mother and her parents would not be good, but she didn't expect that the other party would close the door as soon as she heard her mention Lu Lu, and she didn't even know about it.
Joey knew that the sound insulation of this old house was not very good, and the words outside would definitely be heard inside.
So she said through the door: "Auntie, I don't know what your attitude is towards Lu Lu now, but Lu Lu needs your help very much. You are her only relative now."
"Since Lu Lu's father passed away, her stepmother has treated her very poorly and often abused her, do you know?"
"Now there are well-meaning people who want to adopt Lu Lu, but the stepmother holds the custody right and refuses to let go, so we need you to come forward to help regain the custody right."
"I know that you and uncle are getting old, and it is difficult to raise Lu Lu. This time, you just need to help us get Lu Lu's custody back. If you don't want to raise her, you can adopt her directly. That’s fine, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Joey said all the purpose of his trip, but there was no answer inside.
"Auntie, I guarantee that what I said is true, Lu Lu is only three years old, do you really have the heart to watch her being abused by her stepmother all the time?"
Joey tried to persuade Hu Fangli, but a man's voice came from inside.
The man shouted: "I told you that I don't know the person you mentioned. If you still don't leave, I will call the police!"
Upon hearing this, Joey and the assistant exchanged glances. She took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote down her phone number and name, and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.
"Uncle and aunt, this is my contact information. If you can figure it out, please call me. Lu Lu really needs the help of grandpa and grandma."
Joey looked into the door and sighed with a headache. Now she has no idea.
The two went downstairs, and the assistant asked, "Sister Joy, are we going back like this?"
After driving for more than two hours, I ended up being turned away without saying a word to the other party. This feeling is too uncomfortable.
Joey flipped through the information about the Jiang family on the phone.
In addition to the two elderly people in the Jiang family, there is also a son named Jiang Rui. Jiang Rui is six years younger than Jiang Mo and is Lu Lu's uncle.
Uncle is also a relative with Lu Lu's blood relationship, if he is willing to come forward, that's fine.
Lu Lu's uncle is 24 years old and works as a salesman in a real estate company.
Joey thought to himself that many old people would be more stubborn about some of the tangles that had happened, while young people were open-minded, and the two old people were unwilling to help. Maybe Jiang Rui, the uncle, was willing to help or come forward to persuade the two old people.
Since she came to Jindu City, she couldn't make a trip in vain, so Joey immediately went to the real estate sales department where Jiang Rui was.
The sales hall was full of suits and leather shoes. As soon as Qiao Ran stepped into the hall, several salesmen greeted him.
"Miss, do you want to buy a house?"
Qiao Ran waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for Jiang Rui, is he there?"
"Yes, but he's gone to the lounge. I'll call you for you."
"thanks."
The enthusiastic real estate consultant took a look at Joy, saw the car keys and Hermes in her hand, and hurried to the lounge to call for someone.
Jiang Rui, who had no customers, was about to go to the lounge to sit and rest for a while, but he didn't know that someone called his name as soon as his butt touched the sofa.
"Jiang Rui, Jiang Rui, hurry up." The other party's tone was very excited.
Jiang Rui asked impatiently: "What is it? Hurry up. I've been standing all morning. Let me sit down for a while." As soon as he thought of something, his butt bounced off the chair.
"Could it be that the manager is here!"
If the manager catches him slacking off in the break room, he's not far from being fired.
"No, no, there is a rich woman looking for you outside."
"Rich woman?"
"That's right, it's driving a Mercedes, and it's still wearing Hermes, so it looks like it has an unusual temperament."
"Isn't she looking for you to buy a house? Based on her conditions, she must buy the most expensive house type here. Jiang Rui, you can do it. If you don't bill for a few months, you will get a big one as soon as you bill."
Jiang Rui couldn't hold back the smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard his colleague's flattering words.
He hurried towards the "rich woman".
"Hello, I'm Jiang Rui, what do you need? Our house here..."
Before Jiang Rui finished speaking, Joey interrupted him.
"Jiang Rui, I'm sorry, I'm not here to buy a house. I'm looking for you for other things."
"Other things?" Jiang Rui looked at the strange woman in front of him, he was sure he didn't know her, "Then who are you?"
"My name is Joey, and I'm from the imperial capital."
Coming from the imperial capital, Jiang Rui was even more sure that he had no contact with the other party.
"Then what do you want from me?"
"Your sister Jiang Mo has a daughter named Lu Lu, you know."
When Jiang Rui heard the other party mention his sister and sister's daughter, his face changed slightly, showing a little impatience. But this is a work unit. Even if Joey doesn't buy a house, he is considered a potential customer. He can't be rude to customers.
He replied patiently: "I know, but my sister has severed ties with the family six years ago, and her affairs have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Mo severed ties with his family, which was the result that Joey had imagined before.
After all, Jiang Mo and his parents have not been in touch for so many years, and Lu Lu is so old that he only met his grandparents once.
How could this be the case if the mother-daughter relationship is good.
Joey said: "I am not here this time for your sister, but for your sister's only daughter, your nephew Lu Lu."
When Jiang Rui heard this, his face became even more ugly.
He already knew that both his sister Jiang Mo and her brother-in-law passed away due to accidents, and now Lu Lu is an orphan.
The well-dressed woman in front of me must be a lawyer, she wants them to raise Lu Lu.
This is not acceptable.
His family couldn't even get together enough money to buy him a house and get married, so how could he have spare money to raise a kid.
Lu Lu is only three years old, even if she is not provided for college, it will cost hundreds of thousands to raise her until she is eighteen.
No no no, absolutely not.
Children are vampires, and this vampire cannot be allowed to come to their house and suck their blood.
He refused with a firm attitude: "Can't you understand? Jiang Mo has severed ties with us, so her daughter has nothing to do with us, and I don't have this nephew either."
Joey did not expect that Jiang Rui's reaction would be stronger than that of Hu Fangli, and it was difficult to understand why he would be so resistant and cruel to relatives with blood ties.
Even if the relationship between Jiang Mo and his family is not good, must the grievances of the previous generation involve a three-year-old girl
Does it have to be so cruel
Joey tried to persuade Jiang Rui: "I know you have a bad relationship, so I don't mean to ask you to raise Lu Lu."
After hearing the words "no request to raise Lu Lu", Jiang Rui's attitude softened significantly.
He said, "Then what do you mean?"
Joey has seen countless people in the entertainment circle, so how could he fail to see through the reason for Jiang Rui's strong reaction? It was not because he was afraid that there would be another oil bottle in the family.
So Joey repeated what he said to Hu Fangli outside the door, and emphasized: "Don't worry, someone is willing to adopt Lu Lu. Lu Lu will never drag down your life."
Jiang Rui looked at the woman in front of him. She looked about 30 years old and was well-dressed. Judging from her conversation, temperament, and the luxury car she drove, she knew that she must be a rich person.
He asked, "Then who are you from Lu Lu? A lawyer?"
"No, I'm a friend of the adopter. I was entrusted by him to ask you to come forward to help. The adopter has a great relationship with Lu Lu and really likes this little girl, so I implore you to help."
"This matter is not troublesome. You just need to spend a day, travel to the imperial capital, and appear in court at a critical time. We will take care of the rest."
Hearing this, Jiang Rui looked Joey up again.
Since Joey is so rich, since she is a friend of the adopter, it means that the adopter's family is also very well off.
Jiang Rui suddenly had an idea in his heart.
He changed his previous attitude and said, "That's it, can I go home and discuss it with my parents? After all, my sister broke the relationship with the family so unfeelingly back then, which broke our family's heart, otherwise It is impossible for our family to ignore Lu Lu."
Joey looked at Jiang Rui coldly. The contrast between Jiang Rui's attitude was too obvious. It's not hard to guess what he was thinking.
As long as the other party's demands are not too excessive, she and Song Heran can satisfy each other.
She said: "Well, you can discuss it with your parents as soon as possible. Can you give me an answer today?"
Jiang Rui rolled his eyes and replied: "Not today, I'm working here, so I can only go home to discuss such a big matter at night, how about this, I will give you an answer within three days."
"Okay, leave me a phone number, I will go to the imperial capital today, please give me a call when you have made up your mind."
"No problem, Miss Joy."
Hearing this name, Joy was extremely disgusted, but she still kept a smile on her face, left her contact information and turned away.
*****
In the evening, after Jiang Rui got home, he immediately mentioned this matter to his parents.
"What, that woman went to the company to look for you?"
"correct."
"Let's ignore this person. Who knows if anyone has adopted that little girl. What if we win the lawsuit and the custody rights are in our hands, and no one else takes her? Let's raise her for the rest of my life. Just dream." Hu Fangli said.
His father, Jiang Bin, echoed from the side: "That's right, you can't have this oil bottle. Back then when your sister married that surnamed Lu, we asked for a gift money of 500,000 yuan, but the one surnamed Lu didn't give it. Severing the relationship has prevented you from buying a new house until now, and now that everyone is dead, you still want the little one to come and harm us, I really can't think of it."
When mentioning the past, Hu Fangli became angry.
They worked hard to raise Jiang Mo so that she could make more money to subsidize the family. After all, there is a younger brother in the family.
As a result, Jiang Mo was about to get married two years after graduating from university. If she wanted to get married, she could find a rich man, and she would support her natal family more in the future.
But I didn't expect that this dishonorable guy would not even be able to afford the bride price when he found Lu Yuanzhou, an orphan without father and mother.
They resolutely opposed it at the time, but they didn't expect Jiang Mo, who had always been obedient and obedient, to marry that man, cut off blood relations with them, and never contacted them again.
Later they heard that Lu Yuanzhou's job had improved and he had bought a house in the imperial capital, so they went to Jiang Mo again, hoping to borrow some money from Jiang Mo to buy a house for his younger brother.
Unexpectedly, after only a few words, Jiang Mo drove them out, saying that she had just given birth and had no money to borrow.
Oh, how much Jiang Mo hated her for doing it back then, her biological parents could abandon her, and now she still wants them to raise her daughter, which is a beautiful idea.
Hearing what his parents said, Jiang Rui quickly expressed his thoughts.
"Mom and Dad, don't get excited, listen to me."
"What? You don't want to raise Rarity, do you? You can't be kind at a time like this."
"No, I think that woman is quite rich. I checked the car she drives. It's a Mercedes-Benz worth more than 600,000 yuan, and the clothes she wears are at least six figures."
Hearing these figures, Hu Fangli's eyes became straight, "This woman is so rich."
"That's right, a rich person like her doesn't need to lie to us for a child."
"So someone really wants to adopt Lu Lu?"
"Yes, still a rich man."
There was a bit of cunning in Jiang Rui's eyes, and Hu Fangli immediately understood what he meant.
Jiang Rui continued: "I heard from that woman that she likes Lu Lu very much, so we can ask them for an adoption fee."
"Isn't this the same as selling a child? It's against the law," Jiang Bin said.
"Dad, why are you so stubborn? How can you sell your child? This is a 'thank you fee' for helping you win custody."
