The boss sighed distressedly and pushed his face towards her, "Eat quickly, the noodles will be lumpy in a while."

Jiang Lan wiped her tears and forced a smile.

She picked up the chopsticks, held the noodles, and stuffed them into her mouth in big gulps.

To the boss, it looked like she hadn't eaten in several days.

As she stuffed the noodles into her mouth, she couldn't control her tears. Large pieces fell down and fell into the bowl, where they were mixed with the noodles and eaten by her.

The store is opened by a middle-aged couple, in their forties. They had a child when they were young, but they died in a car accident.

They have been guarding this noodle shop, trying their best to help those who cannot afford food, and doing good deeds for their dead children.

Jiang Lan sat in their shop all afternoon and didn't leave even after dark.

The landlady was a little worried and discussed with her husband, "This child looks very pitiful. Doesn't she have somewhere to go?"

"She can't speak, so she's probably looking for a job here."

After all the guests had left in the evening, the landlady came to Jiang Lan and said, "Little girl, where is your home?"

Jiang Lan shook his head.

She has no home. She has been without a home since she was five years old.

The landlady sighed, "If you have nowhere to go, why not stay here and help us work? There is a utility room there, you can sleep in it, and you can just wash dishes and clean up during the day."

"

Jiang Lan was stunned and looked at the landlady in surprise.

The landlady smiled and said: "But our store doesn't make much money, and we don't have any salary to give you."

Jiang Lan nodded and agreed. Even though the landlady couldn't understand, she still said thank you.

The landlady looked at her in a daze, as if she could see farther away through her, "If my daughter were still alive, she would probably be as old as you."

Jiang Lan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The landlady had tidied up the utility room, and there was an iron bed in it, where they sometimes slept when they were too busy.

Jiang Lan slept in this small utility room at night. Although it was not as luxurious as Lu Jingchi's big villa, she felt inexplicably peaceful.

She touched her belly and thought to herself, if Lu Jingchi didn't look for her, it would be great if she could always live here and wait for the baby to be born.

When Lu Jingchi went back at night, there was no one in the villa.

He lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock, and the little mute hadn't come back yet.

Lu Jingchi went to the kitchen and then to the bedroom upstairs, but there was nothing there.

As he searched, he didn't open a door, and his face became gloomy.

Not knowing what he thought of, he strode to the cloakroom and opened the door. Jiang Lan's clothes were still there.

His expression softened a little.

Lu Jingchi returned to the living room, took out his mobile phone and called his assistant, "Look for where Jiang Lan is."

"Is the lady missing?"

Lu Jingchi lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He was not only angry but also smiling, "I've become more capable."

The assistant felt that his tone was wrong, so he hurriedly agreed and hung up the phone.

It's not difficult to find her. If you pull up the surveillance outside Shengyou, you can see where she went.

She got off the bus at the terminal and went to the old town, where Jiang Lan was.

The assistant peeked at his expression. He had been staring at the monitor on the computer with no expression.

The assistant asked tentatively, "Do you want to bring Madam back?"

"No, freeze all her cards." Lu Jingchi turned off the surveillance camera, with a cold expression on his lips, "After enough hardship, he will come back."
