Chapter 381: Missing his daughter, he will be dismissed and go home
"My daughter, Sisi, has a birthmark shaped like a flame under her left armpit."
Even though Qiao Jian'er had already anticipated this, at this moment she felt that the thunderclap was so clear and specific that it made her mind freeze.
The appearance, age, and birthmark all match, what else is there to say?
"Yes, there is a birthmark under my left armpit." Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "I'll tell Wei Chi about this when he comes back."
"Ms. Gao, please don't worry about it. You already have a lot of work to do, and now you have to find people for us. It's too tiring."
"Wei Chi is tired too."
"He's different, he's my nephew—" Then she felt that she shouldn't say that, so Madam Chu changed her words and said, "He's a man, after all, he can endure more hardships."
"After all, I feel sorry for you."
Gao Shuying said firmly, "Aunt, when looking for a girl, you still need to ask about her characteristics. A boy is not suitable. Now that I have found her, please let me finish my search and show my love for her."
The two elders thought about it and agreed, so they didn't say anything more.
Miss Gao is able to do this simply because she loves them so much.
Wei Chi is such a lucky kid.
"Of course, after all, so many years have passed, and things are changing. You should also be mentally prepared." Gao Shuying added.
How could the two elders not understand what she meant? Maybe their daughter died in the cold weather from the beginning. You know, it was winter when Sisi was taken away.
"The portrait is there, and the birthmark is also remembered. We know that if we can't find it, then it's really gone. We will completely let it go and live a good life."
Although Master Chu said this, his face was full of anticipation.
I wonder how sad he would be if the final result was not satisfactory.
When it was time to say goodbye, Old Madam Chu shouted.
"Sickle girl, come here."
Qiao Jianer came up to Old Madam Chu and asked, "Grandma Chu, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Now facing the two old people, her mood is different.
These were her dearest grandparents. She should have been enjoying the company of them, but Qiao Yunni's miserable life had separated them from each other.
But blood is thicker than water after all. Although she had never met them before, they were right in front of her now, with their kind faces, and she felt her heart was moved.
"The lucky bag you sent is very nice. It's impolite not to reciprocate. And since this is our first meeting, I want to give you a welcome gift as well."
As Old Madam Chu spoke, she took off the jade bracelet on her hand, then groped for Qiao Lian'er's hand and put the bracelet on her hand.
"This bracelet has been with me for many years. It was a dowry given to me by my parents. Although I can't see well, I feel that you are a destined person and are inexplicably kind to me."
Qiao Lian'er looked at the bracelet. It was made of high icy stone with floating flowers and shimmering water light. After being touched day after day, it became even smoother and more translucent.
It's worth at least two thousand taels.
"Grandma Chu, this thing is too valuable. I can't accept it." After seeing it clearly, Qiao Jianer was about to take it off.
Old Master Chu's career has not been going well in recent years and his official position has been demoted. It would be great if he had something valuable to keep with him, but he wants to give it to her.
But Madam Chu held her hand and said, "Girl, don't be polite to me. I gave this to you after careful consideration. I have only one wish, and I hope you can fulfill it."
Qiao Jianer's eyes were a little moist: "Grandma Chu, please tell me."
"Grandma hopes that when you have time, you can come and visit us. I have never loved a child so sincerely before."
"Your home is in Qingshui Town, Ning County, hundreds of miles away from here. My request is a bit embarrassing for you, and I don't ask you to come often. Once a year is also good, or two or three years."
As she spoke, Madam Chu lowered her voice.
"Grandma, I'll come."
Qiao Jianer shook her hand back: "Sure."
Gao Shuying smiled and said, "Aunt, if Jian'er doesn't want to come, I'll tie her up and bring her here."
Madam Chu pretended to be angry: "She's just such a little girl, and you're already saying you want to tie her up. Don't scare her."
Gao Shuying blinked: "Uncle and aunt, you are the ones who taught me this. Who said that you wanted to kidnap Wei Chi and marry me?"
The two elders were amused and laughed. Old Master Chu stroked his beard and the hall was filled with a happy atmosphere.
The butler standing by also looked pleased. He had never seen the old man and the old lady so happy in all these years.
How I wish they could be happy every day.
Walking out of the alley, I met Wei Chi coming towards me.
He was not surprised to see Gao Shuying, but he did not expect that Qiao Lianer was also in Yuezhou.
I originally wanted to tell him that he didn't need to go, but thinking that the two elders wanted to take a look at the portrait, Gao Shuying didn't mention the birthmark.
Gao Shuying seemed to be angry. She looked up at the sky and didn't even want to say hello.
"Hello, Brother Wei." Qiao Jian'er noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and spoke.
"Miss Qiao, you've also come to Yuezhou."
"Well, I'm here to buy a shop, and by the way, I'll go see Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu with Sister Gao."
"Thank you for coming. I'll treat you to lunch."
He's talking about you.
Although Gao Shuying acted arrogantly, he did not resist, so Qiao Lianer readily agreed.
"Then I won't be polite. I'll let Brother Wei spend the money."
"Miss Qiao, please feel free to do as you please." Wei Chi said generously.
This girl saved his life, and he would feel guilty if he didn't repay her properly.
When passing by, Wei Chi's hand seemed to touch Gao Shuying's hand accidentally.
Gao Shuying's eyes and eyebrows showed some throbbing emotions.
Soon she wanted to roll her eyes again. Why flirt if not marrying him?
"Come on, Jian'er, I'll take you to the biggest and best restaurant. Let's order the dishes and eat first. It doesn't matter whether he eats or not. We just need to settle the bill." Gao Shuying took Qiao Jian'er and left.
Wei Chi paused for a moment and then continued walking into the town.
There is a river running through Yuezhou City. A row of willow trees are planted along the river. Now the branches are bare, with small bright red lanterns hanging on them.
Gao Shuying chose a good seat facing the river, waved for the waiter to come over, ordered the best dishes, and also ordered a jar of daughter's red wine.
Qiao Lian'er took a look at the rather large jar. Gao Shuying couldn't finish it all by herself, and she even said that she didn't care whether Wei Chi ate it or not.
She is now full of worries and is too lazy to care about the emotional entanglement between Gao Shuying and Wei Chi.
Qiao Yunni is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chu. They miss their daughter so much that they become sick. What should she do?
At lunchtime, tables began to fill up and the restaurant was bustling with people.
In the next room, people were drinking and discussing.
"Chu Gongshi, you said your daughter has been missing for so many years. Whether she was eaten by a wolf or adopted by someone, it's impossible for her to return to the Chu family. Yet you're still obsessed with finding her. This has distracted you and delayed your official duties. The governor has run out of patience now. Seeing that he's old and weak, he wants to dismiss him and send him home."
