30.Chapter 30 A dull blow
Don’t people say that God will always open a window for you when he closes that door? But where is her window?
Li Ruman gently stroked Danko's fingers, and her voice was unique, "I have seen you several times when you were a child. When you were a child, you will change your age, and I can't recognize you."
"Have you ever met my mom after she left Evergreen, or... have you contacted her?"
Li Ruman asked, "You have been looking for her?"
"Yes," Zhao Zhao sighed softly and said quietly, "Since I became sensible, I have been looking for her, especially in the past two years, my grandmother's health has become worse and worse. My mother should go back and see her."
"Since she has been away for so long, it means she doesn't want to go back. And after so many years, how do you know if she is still alive?"
"I don't know...but she is my mother. I should know her whereabouts no matter what. I want to see people alive... die... see corpses, right?"
"Xu Jingbai gave birth to a good daughter, I am so envious." Li Ruman sipped the coffee and said slowly, "But... although the incident has been so long, the police are still wanting her. If the whereabouts are revealed, aren't you worried that she will be in danger?"
Zhaozhao's face changed slightly, she sat for a while, and stood up politely, "If the aunt doesn't know her whereabouts, then I'll leave first. Thank you very much for agreeing to meet me today."
"Wait!" Li Ruman stopped her, looked at Zhao's face thoughtfully, and took out a business card from her handbag, "This is the address of a cheongsam store in Yanagawa District. You go find the owner of this store and ask him if he knows where your mother is. I saw her there last year, and she likes to go to this store to customize cheongsams."
"Chema shop?"
"Yes, your mother has always liked cheongsams, right?" Li Ruman curled up a corner of her mouth and smiled. Zhao Zhao didn't know why, but she actually felt that this expression seemed familiar. "By the way, Xu Jingbai changed his name and was called Bai Qiu."
"Thank you." Zhao Zhao took the business card handed over by Li Ruman, and her heart was surging for a moment. She didn't know what she was feeling when she got the business card. She was excited? Numbness? Sentimental?
There is more in my heart, but it seems like I am completing a task, and I am extremely determined to make myself feel at ease.
After leaving the cafe, she headed straight to Liuchuan District. Liuchuan was north of Yucheng. She took the bus for two hours. Not familiar with the terrain, she asked several passers-by again. When she found the cheongsam shop, it was already dusk.
The store is located in a place similar to the entrance of an air-raid hole, next to it is the park. There is a large area of green ivy planted at the entrance, lingering around, and it is very elegant.
The owner is an uncle over fifty years old, wearing thick glasses, a double-breasted shirt, and shaking a folding fan.
Seeing her come in, she smiled kindly, "Little girl, come in and sit."
"Boss, can I ask you for personal information?"
The boss said, "Looking at your dusty look, I know you are not here to make cheongsams. Why are you asking whom?"
"Bai Qiu, a woman in her forties, often comes to you to make cheongsams, do you remember?"
The boss put away the folding fan, "Of course I remember, Bai Qiu! I died a few years ago, and I was in a car accident, that way... it was really miserable!"
"Dead?!" Zhaozhao felt that her chest was being stuffy and she looked unsteady and took a step back.
