Chapter 405 Going to Beijing
Chapter 405 Going to Beijing
As dawn broke, Jiang Zhouzhou asked for a long leave in the fan group and explained the situation in the animal husbandry group.
[Nanfeng: Do you need me to come with you?]
[Jiang Zhouzhou: No, I'll be back soon]
[Dian: Don't worry, I'll be here with you.]
Millet Porridge: It's all because of you
[Ye Zi: My maternal grandfather knows many medical experts in Beijing. I can help you contact them if needed.]
[Jiang Zhouzhou: Okay, thank you]
[Rice: Hug my wife, Zhouzhou]
[Sexy Female Cockroach: No matter what happens, we're here for you]
[Zhouzhou's Dog Bro: +1]
Everyone could tell that Jiang Zhouzhou was in low spirits, so they didn't say much in the group chat.
After entrusting Tangyuan to Gu Nanfeng's care, Jiang Zhouzhou packed her luggage and bought adjacent tickets with Xiao Dian, catching the next flight back to Beijing together.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhouzhou, Sheng Jingyao realized how bad her mental state was.
Yesterday, she wore a bright and cheerful smile that was so dazzling that it was impossible to look away. Today, however, she has withered and died, and her once bright eyes are now empty and lifeless.
A flicker of heartache crossed Sheng Jingyao's eyes as he took her hand: "Get some rest on the plane later. I've already arranged for someone to pick us up at the airport."
Jiang Zhouzhou forced a smile: "Thank you, Xiao Dian."
The little kid can be mischievous when he needs to be, but he's also incredibly reliable when it's time for him to be sensible.
The incident happened so suddenly that Jiang Zhouzhou didn't ask anyone else to take her.
After boarding the plane, Xiao Dian asked the flight attendant for a blanket, which was carefully covered up for her.
He carefully observed Jiang Zhouzhou's expression, thinking about what words to say to comfort her.
But the girl next to him suddenly said, "Actually, I'm not sad, I'm just... surprised to hear this news. Does that sound cold-hearted?"
She lowered her head, concealing her expression, and her indifferent tone revealed no emotion.
Sheng Jingyao looked at her and said seriously, "No, they treated you badly back then, and now that they're about to die, they're only thinking of you. It's already a great act of kindness that you went back to see them."
"And hearing that you weren't sad actually made me feel relieved, because I hope my sister can always be happy."
When she's sad, he'll be sad too.
The girl next to her stopped talking. She shifted her body, found a comfortable position, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes.
Children who lack love from a young age are actually very good at finding sweetness in broken glass.
Because it's so bitter, you'll cling tightly to that tiny bit of sweetness and savor it repeatedly.
Even though the flavor fades over time, it is still treasured and kept deep in my heart, regarded as a precious gem.
Grandma wasn't very nice to her, but Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
I heard that two children in the neighboring village had been kidnapped by human traffickers, and the villagers nearby began to panic.
Other children are picked up by their parents after school, and Zhouzhou leaves with them, but gradually she is left alone on the road.
Night fell, and the dark road seemed to stretch on forever.
She quickened her pace, and eventually started running.
A bright light suddenly flashed ahead, and a familiar voice came from behind it, the old face blurry: "Why are you running so fast?"
That night, his rough hands led her home.
Jiang Zhouzhou loves to eat at banquets. The banquets in the countryside are very lavish, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and braised pork hocks. They are even better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year.
But because she had to go to school, there were a few times she couldn't go.
Back then, the little old lady would sit on a stool and say when the dishes were served, "Don't touch it yet, my granddaughter didn't come to school today, let me put a chicken leg on her plate first."
She pulled a crumpled plastic bag from her pocket, put the chicken leg inside, along with some cold beef and lamb salad, and the fish she had specially chosen—the tenderest part of the belly—to take back to her.
The old lady had no income at home and relied entirely on her two sons for a little living allowance. Sometimes she would sell some piles of junk and use the crumpled coins to buy some candy for her grandchildren.
When there was only one lollipop left, no matter how much her cousin made a fuss, her grandmother handed it to her.
"This belongs to my older sister, you can't take it."
Seeing her cousin crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, Jiang Zhouzhou felt that she should be sensible and give him the candy.
But she didn't want to.
This was one of the few times her grandmother showed her special favor, and she didn't want to give it to anyone else.
As they were about to disembark, Jiang Zhouzhou opened her eyes.
Even though her mind was filled with thoughts of how good her grandmother had been to her, she couldn't feel happy at all.
It's like eating an expired piece of candy; you want to spit it out, but you can't bear to.
The old housekeeper who came to pick people up at the airport met Jiang Zhouzhou in person for the first time.
The girl who made the young master fall head over heels in love had delicate and beautiful features, but a hint of weariness lingered in her eyes. She looked like a fragile little white flower, easily evoking feelings of pity.
The unruly young master treated her with utmost gentleness in every movement, as if she were some fragile object.
Jiang Zhouzhou sent the address to Xiao Dian: "Let's go here first!"
She has already spoken with the Jiang family and will go there today.
Jiang Zhouzhou was actually very familiar with this address.
Grandma once told her, "Your father has a big villa in the capital, right here. He'll bring you there sooner or later."
Jiang Zhouzhou asked her at that time, "Is Grandma going too?"
Grandma said disdainfully, "No, the big city is nowhere near as carefree as the countryside."
After several years of no contact, the old lady still moved into this place.
Beijing is a very large city with winding and circuitous traffic.
The villa at the address is not located in a prime area of Beijing.
As they approached their destination, Jiang Zhouzhou said, "Let's get off here!"
Sheng Jingyao frowned: "What's wrong?"
The old butler understood her meaning and explained, "Miss Jiang probably doesn't want anyone to see her getting out of this car."
To save face for the young master, the old butler specially chose the most luxurious car today, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
"Yes, if the Jiang family sees this, they might have some thoughts."
Jiang Zhouzhou opened the car door and said to Xiao Dian, "Thank you for today, Xiao Dian. You can go home now!"
Sheng Jingyao looked at her longingly and said reluctantly, "Okay, then you must call me if you need anything, and I will appear in front of you immediately."
Seeing how worthless his young master looked, the old butler's lips twitched.
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled and agreed, "Okay."
After parting ways with Xiao Dian, she pulled her suitcase to the front of the villa.
The large villa that only existed in her memory is now old and dilapidated, and is not even as big as her villa in Haishi.
Raise your hand.
Press the doorbell.
