Shi Yihan said: "Your brother went out this morning."
"What are you going to do?" Su Mi's eyebrows moved and she guessed something.
Zong Lu rarely runs out early in the morning.
He must have learned that Aunt Shao was missing.
"I didn't say... What's wrong? Do you have anything to do with your brother?" Liu Tingzhen asked while teasing Xiao Subao.
Su Mi regained her composure: "It's okay." Then she said:
"Grandma, Mom, I want to take Little Subao back to Tancheng first."
Shi Yihan was the first to change his expression: "What? You live well, why do you want to go back?"
Liu Tingzhen also sat up straight: "Did someone in your family treat you poorly?"
Su Mi comforted the two of them: "Mom, grandma, I just went back to deal with some things there. After all, I have been in Jingzhou for a long time. It's not like I won't see you anymore."
Only then did the two of them look more relaxed.
But Shi Yihan still couldn't bear to part with it: "...can't we just leave?"
Liu Tingzhen advised her daughter-in-law: "After all, Mimi has a family and a career in Tancheng, so it's impossible to let her go. Yihan, when the children are grown, they will have their own lives. You can't trap her at home for a lifetime and never let her go."
Let her go out."
Su Mi said softly: "Mom, I have discussed with the second master and we will pick you up before the wedding. Then you and grandma can stay in Tancheng for a while. The second master said that he will arrange a place for you in Tancheng.
, you can come whenever and wherever you want. We can still meet often."
Little Subao also clapped her hands: "Then let daddy buy my grandma and grandma's house next to Huayuan!"
Shi Yihan and her mother-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
…
Zong Lu came back only in the evening.
As soon as I came back, I heard from Uncle Chao that Su Mi was going back to Tancheng tomorrow.
In the living room, Su Mi was thinking about leaving tomorrow night and was chatting with her grandma and mother when she saw Zong Lu walking towards her:
"You want to go back to Tancheng?"
Su Mi looked at the man with a dusty appearance and nodded: "Yes, brother."
"...Why? Why so suddenly?"
Shi Yihan answered on behalf of Su Mi: "Mimi has to go back and deal with her own affairs. Also, Xiao Subao has been on leave for a long time and has to go to school."
Zong Lu frowned: "Mimi's job is not limited to the location, even if you live in Jingzhou. As for Xiao Subao, he doesn't have to go to school in Tancheng. Jingzhou's educational resources are also very good. I can give him a new job."
Arrange for kindergarten.”
Liu Tingzhen glanced at her grandson inexplicably: "Why are you more reluctant to leave Mimi than your mother? Your mother and I finally comforted ourselves, but why are you here too?"
Zong Lu's eyes flashed: "Mimi just came back, of course I don't want her to leave."
Shi Yihan also figured it out, and turned around to comfort his son: "We are still reluctant to let go, but after all, there are still Mimi's relatives and friends in Tancheng. After Mimi and Er Ye get married, they will have to live there, so they can't always stay in Beijing.
Zhou. It’s okay, we can just fly in both directions from now on.”
Su Mi also looked at Zong Lu: "Brother, mom is right, we are just going back to Tancheng, it's not like we won't see each other again."
Zong Lu finally said nothing.
After dinner, Su Mi saw that Zong Lu was silent and wanted to go upstairs. She walked over and shouted:
"elder brother."
Zonglu stopped walking and turned around.
"You seem to be very tired today. I heard grandma said you went out early in the morning...is everything okay?"
Zonglu's eyelashes twitched: "It's okay. Some business needs to be handled."
Su Mi held her breath.
I have been back to the Zong family for so long, and I have never seen him running the family business.
The Zong family's business has obviously been left to others to take care of.
It's obviously a lie.
But he didn’t expose it, he only said seriously:
"Brother, you have worked so hard to take good care of your mother and grandma after I left, especially my mother. Her illness has just stabilized, so I leave it to you. Of course, I will also video chat with her every day."
Zong Lu's thin lips moved almost imperceptibly: "I know."
"Brother, these years, the Zong family has relied on you. If it weren't for you, our house might have collapsed, and my mother wouldn't be able to survive. In fact, I have always wanted to say, thank you." Su Mi looked at it sincerely.
Hold him.
These words are sincere.
No matter who is in his core, at least, for so long, the Zong family has relied on him.
Zong Lu lightly curled his lips: "I don't have to be so polite."
The two exchanged a few words, and Su Mi had to clean up her luggage and went up first.
Zong Lu watched her disappear and returned to his room.
Close the door, walk to the window, take out your phone, and make a call.
In an instant, his voice changed from gentle to deep and gloomy:
"How's it going? You haven't found Aunt Shao yet? Who are you looking for? You can see a patient and you can't see her overnight!"
The voice that sounded over there was the voice of the young man who took away Aunt Shao last night:
"Not yet, but I asked carefully and the family of three said that last night it was because the village chief said that a wealthy businessman who was traveling by car suddenly came to the village and paid the villagers to clean up the mountain road. The family of three were so obsessed with money that they all went up the mountain.
I left Aunt Shao alone at home. When I came back, I found that Aunt Shao was missing. It always felt a little weird. Those three people must have been deliberately lured away."
"Rich businessman?" Zong Lu frowned: "Have you asked who he is?"
The young man was obviously very reliable in his work: "The family of three didn't see the wealthy businessman, so I spent some money and asked the village chief, who gave a rough description..."
Zong Lu's face darkened little by little as he listened to his subordinate's description of the wealthy businessman.
In the end, I heard that the rich businessman was accompanied by a beautiful woman, and I already knew most of it.
"knew."
After hanging up the phone, a little chill filled his chest.
The cell phone he was holding fell to the carpet with a dull sound.
But he just looked out the window at the thick night, his pupils locked tightly.
It seems.
She knew all his secrets.
No wonder she left suddenly.
Is she afraid of herself?
*
Because Su Mi and Xiao Su Bao were leaving in the evening, Liu Tingzhen got up early the next morning and took Xiao Su Bao out, intending to play with her great-grandson for another day before he left.
Su Mi continued to accompany her mother at home while packing her luggage.
At noon, mother and daughter had something to eat.
Su Mi had just taken medicine with Shi Yihan when she heard the sound of a car outside.
"Hey, didn't your grandma say she would play with Xiao Subao until the afternoon? Why so soon..." Shi Yihan was surprised.
At this time, the commotion outside was getting louder and louder.
It was actually accompanied by Liu Tingzhen's crying and shouting.
When Shi Yihan and Su Mi heard this, their hearts tightened and they ran out in a hurry.
Just then, Liu Tingzhen was seen getting out of the car with the help of the driver and a maid.
But no one saw Xiao Subao.
Su Mi felt her heart almost beating out of her chest:
