Chapter 386 Across Time to Find You
Sioux City, Peninsula Cafe.

Bai Lu sat on the soft plush sofa.

In front of the table is a delicate white porcelain coffee cup trimmed with ornate gold rim.

Curly white mist curled up from the coffee cup.

The freshly ground coffee still exudes the fresh aroma of coffee beans.

The warm light flows quietly.

The low-key luxury cafe is empty.

A few men in black were wearing sunglasses, standing in the distance with their backs to her with serious faces.

Across from her sat a fashionable woman.

An off-white knitted sweater, with a delicate brooch pinned to her chest, and pearl earrings on both sides made her even more noble and elegant.

You can smell a refreshing perfume from her body from a distance.

She is about five or sixty years old, but she still has charm.

The softness and gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes make one can imagine how beautiful she was when she was young.

The woman picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Only a little rusty opening.

"Xiao Lu, how are you doing recently?"

"not bad!"

Bai Lu replied lightly.

Look out the window.

Outside the window is the vast and misty lake.

There are several antique buildings scattered in the distance.

The white walls and black tiles, the corners of the cornices are reflected on the surface of a clear lake.

When the breeze blows, the sparkling lake water is like a wrinkled gemstone.

It not only has the gracefulness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has the atmosphere of the vast mist of the Eastern Wu.

The elegant woman carefully looked at the girl's fair and delicate side face.

Wei Wei was dazzled for a while, then took out a document from her bag, and gently pushed it to the girl.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaolu, this is the admission certificate of Sioux City University. I have already completed the student status for you. In a few days, you will be able to transfer to their finance department."

She paused and said with concern.

"After all, you only went to a junior college in Yu Province. With your academic qualifications, even in your current company, it is very difficult to get further promotion. Besides, I also heard that the corporate atmosphere of your company has always been problematic. You often work overtime and stay up late, and your salary is low. It's still low, and even the high-level reputation is not very good."

"It's not an option for you to stay in such a company. It's better to go to school and graduate from Sioux City University. If you want, I can send you to study abroad."

Bai Lu retracted her gaze, casually flipped through the admission card sent by the other party.

His eyes slowly met the concerned eyes of the upper woman.

Smiling softly, "Thank you...Grandma."

Hearing the last two words uttered by the girl, the woman's body paused slightly.

Immediately, a look of unnaturalness appeared on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

He said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Xiaolu, we haven't met each other for a long time, and we are not familiar with each other. You should call me Mrs. Wen."

"Mrs. Wen," Bai Lu chewed on these three words, then smiled lightly, and agreed bluntly, "Okay, Mrs. Wen."

As she spoke, she leaned back, folded her arms around her chest, and stared straight at the delicate and elegant woman opposite.

The attitude cooled down.

Said in a businesslike tone.

"Mrs. Wen came to see me today, it's not as simple as just sending me the admission certificate."

The girl's ordinary eyes became lazy and deep, and the jewel-like black pupils revealed the indifference of a superior.

With the alienation of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Like a ruthless fairy overlooking all living beings.

The woman was amazed that the girl had changed so much before and after.

She felt that the other party's obsidian-like deep black eyes were shining with a cold light.

It seems to be able to see through people's hearts, making people feel ashamed involuntarily.

Such a girl made her feel very strange.

It was as if someone had suddenly changed before his eyes.

This feeling made her feel flustered.

But thinking of the reason for the change in the other party's attitude, the woman's eyes dimmed uncontrollably.

After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"Caiwei's condition is very bad. The doctor said that the blood bank is running out of blood. If there is no suitable blood type matching, she may not last long."

"So, you are so kind enough to let me enter Sioux City University in exchange for donating blood to your daughter."

Bai Lu opened her mouth coolly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

The woman's delicate face turned white, she didn't expect a girl to be so straightforward.

The fingers holding the cup trembled slightly.

Only then did he manage to pull out a smile.

"Xiaolu, didn't we discuss these things before?"

Bai Lu nodded slightly, and looked up at her.

"Yes, I promised you at the beginning, but you didn't keep your promise, didn't you? Besides, is Wen Caiwei just your own daughter? Why didn't his father show up from the beginning to the end? This is like the attitude you should have when asking someone to donate blood Is it? People who don’t know think I owe you the Wen family?”

Hearing the girl mention Wen's family, Bai Wanru's face lost all color, her beautiful eyes enlarged slightly, and her whole body trembled slightly.

It took a long time before he calmed down, and said in a difficult tone.

"Xiaolu, I know, you hate me in your heart..."

"Stop!" Bai Lu stopped her words, looked up at her, and said very seriously, "You don't have to take responsibility for yourself. It's my dad who should hate you, and it has nothing to do with me."

"After all, of course you abandoned my father and not me. And I am just an orphan who was also abandoned by my parents. So, if I want to blame or hate, I also blame my own parents, and it's not your turn."

"After all, you still blame me..."

As the woman spoke, a mist quickly formed in her eyes.

She seemed to recall some past events, and she was a little emotional.

"I was too young back then, not as old as you, and I was really scared when I suddenly became pregnant. You don't know how strict the atmosphere was back then. It was so hard to open the college entrance examination. If someone found out, my life would be ruined. At that time Your great-grandmother didn't even dare to let me go to the hospital to have an abortion."

"She had no choice but to take me to the countryside. When I gave birth to your father, she immediately put him at the gate of the orphanage without even looking at me."

"Afterwards, I secretly watched him, and was scolded by your great-grandmother, saying that the more my children watched, the more they liked him. If I made up my mind not to want him, I would be so determined not to look at him more."

"But, I still can't help it, you don't know, your father is really cute, he is the most beautiful and whitest child in that orphanage, like a delicate porcelain doll, I have never seen such a beautiful one child."

Bai Wanru's eyes were misty, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up gently.

"He is still very sensible. He has been lying in the cradle without making any noise. Even if the children around him are crying, he still keeps his eyes open and looks at the world curiously."

She fell into the memory, her face softened unconsciously, revealing the brilliance of motherhood.

"Later, I was admitted to a university outside the province. I thought that I would take him out of the orphanage when I graduated and started working. But when I went home during the winter vacation, I didn't know that the orphanage had been demolished. The children were all assigned to different places."

Bai Lu listened silently, without interrupting her.

"I was very anxious at the time, and looked for him like crazy. I even knelt down and begged your great-grandmother, mobilized relatives and friends, and entrusted relationships and companionship in my hometown, but there was still no whereabouts of the child."

"It was only later that I learned that baby trafficking was rampant in some places in the countryside at that time, and even some small orphanages were in chaotic management.

Her tone paused, her voice choked up.

Only then did he speak again.

"Anyway, that child is nowhere to be found."

As he spoke, he raised his head, wiped the red corners of his eyes, and blinked his wet eyes.

"Perhaps as your great-grandmother said, the child not only came at the wrong time, but also destined not to belong to our family."

She wiped away the tears from her eyes and let out a soft breath.

Continue.

"Later, I graduated from university, joined the Wen's Group, became the secretary of the old man of the Wen family, met Wen Shouxing, and then joined the Wen family."

She looked at the girl's delicate eyebrows and eyes.

His eyes were gentle.

"I haven't stopped looking for your father all these years, but there was no Internet in those days, a lot of information was lost, and many records were hard to distinguish. Some of the children in that orphanage were transferred to other orphanages, and some were adopted. Some of them were stolen and sold secretly by the nurses at the time, and their whereabouts are still unknown..."

"Your father disappeared completely during that demolition, until now..."

She looked at the girl with a hint of love in her eyes.

"I found you."

The corners of Bai Lu's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

He said in a leisurely tone, "I lost my son for more than 40 years and couldn't find it. Instead, because my daughter's illness requires special blood, I turned out the granddaughter who was separated from the generation."

Indescribable irony.

"No," Bai Wanru said eagerly, "That's because your blood type matches Caiwei too much. It's all too coincidental. That's why I secretly did DNA and discovered our blood relationship."

"When I found you, you were already dead, so I picked you up to go to college in Sioux City."

"Not for your daughter?" she asked back.

A wounded emotion appeared on Bai Wanru's delicate face.

She pursed her pale lips slightly before opening her mouth slowly.

"Xiaolu, Caiwei is your little aunt after all."

Bai Lu nodded, "I don't deny that, we do have a blood relationship."

Before the expression of relief appeared on the woman's face, she continued to speak.

"However. Even if it is a stranger, as long as I show sincerity, I will not be indifferent."

With that said, she stood up and looked at her.

"Then it depends on your sincerity."

"It's still the same sentence, find my irresponsible father, and the old grievances will be wiped out. I will obediently save Wen Caiwei, otherwise..."

She pushed the stack of documents back in front of Bai Wanru.

"Even if it's Paradise University, I won't go."

As he was about to leave, Bai Wanru hurriedly stood up and grabbed her arm.

The tone is fast.

"Your father has been missing for so long, and it won't be possible to find him in a short while, but Caiwei's illness can't delay it."

Seeing that the girl insisted on leaving, she became a little anxious.

Tears welled up for a while.

"Xiaolu, I know, everything is my fault. I abandoned your father since I was a child, which made him so irresponsible. You can blame me and hate me, but don't implicate Caiwei, she is innocent .”

Bai Lu looked at the woman with tears in her eyes, and looked at herself expectantly.

She glanced at the hand that fell on her arm, and spoke lightly.

"Please remember your identity, Mrs. Wen."

At this time, the man in black in the distance seemed to have noticed the movement here, and looked over.

The madam's hand holding the girl's arm froze slightly.

The well-maintained arm loosened unconsciously.

The girl's jade-like eyes looked at her lightly.

reminded.

"Also, my dad raised me at least until I was over a year old before sending me to the orphanage, and you were pregnant for ten months, and you spent less than a year with him."

She smiled softly.

"So, he is so irresponsible. I really don't blame you for not raising him."

As she spoke, she turned around and left, halfway there, stopped.

"Also, let's talk about Wen Caiwei next time, let the Wen family tell me in person. With so many men in the Wen family, can we only rely on you as a woman?"

After speaking, he left directly.

Bai Wanru stayed there like a long root under his feet, slightly lost in thought.

At this time, several men in black approached.

She wiped away the tears on her face without any trace, and regained her dignified and elegant demeanor.

Looking at the back of the Daoist leaving swiftly, several people hesitated for a moment.

"Ma'am, do we want to chase?"

Looking at the disappearing figure, Bai Wanru sighed, "Let her calm down for a few days first."

Walking out of the coffee shop, the little toad protruding from the top of Bai Lu's head withdrew her consciousness, and suddenly said.

"Boss, that grandma of yours may need to use force."

There was no surprise on Bai Lu's face, and she spoke lightly.

"Her daughter is dying. I don't want to. What can she do without coercion?"

"Besides, the Wen family's ability to endure until now and not attack me is already a credit to her vigorous efforts."

"Then why don't you let the Wen family come over?" It blinked its small eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Are you trying to lure the snake out of the hole? When they make a move, teach them a lesson."

"A bunch of insignificant people are not worth my trouble."

The girl said indifferently.

After a pause, she acted as if nothing had happened.

"I have to see if all the Wen family members are hopeless before I consider whether to save Wen Caiwei, right?"

"Ah," cried the little toad, "you really want to save that woman named Wen Caiwei. Did you stop them from finding your parents?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu sighed slightly.

"I want to look for it too, but just now, I used the bloodline to pull, and I calculated the karma wheel, and I couldn't find my direct bloodline on the earth. Do you know what this means?"

"Your parents are dead?" Little Toad tentatively asked.

The girl was silent for a few breaths before she spoke.

"Did the ashes disappear after death?"

At this time, two uniformed police officers came to her.

"Is it Miss Bai? About Liu Dahai, I need you to come with us."

The girl's long eyelashes blinked.

Isn't Liu Dahai the name of their director?
Wait until Bai Lu followed the two to the police station.

Suddenly, a fat aunt with a bucket waist and a figure no worse than Director Liu appeared.

He rushed up to grab her face.

But he was stopped by two or three policemen with sharp eyes and quick hands.

At this time, Bai Lu realized that Yao Mimi was sitting on the ground with a haggard face, with a blank expression.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, her half-pull face was red and swollen, and there were a few obvious nail marks.

One of the red high-heeled shoes fell off.

Obviously just been through some devastation.

"You vixens will seduce my husband and cause him to be hospitalized."

The fat lady struggled desperately, but was held back by several police officers.

She has already succeeded once, and the police officers have learned to be good, so how can they tolerate her making troubles in the police station one after another?

But the woman's body was too fat, and her trembling fat was trembling, almost throwing a thin policeman into the air.

In the end, there was an old police officer who couldn't see it.

She fell directly over the shoulder and captured her to the ground in a way to subdue the gangster.

The white fat was lying on the ground trembling wildly, the whole scene was like a pig slaughtering scene, the scene was extremely tragic.

In the chaos, the woman panicked, swung her fat arm, and threw the bag in her hand at the girl.

Unexpectedly, the powder and lipstick inside spilled all over her face.

The bag was easily caught by the girl, who flipped through it back and forth.

He glanced at her slantingly, "Yo, it's still a big brand, thank you."

As he said that, he put the bag under his buttocks and sat on it.

The fat aunt was stunned.

She is lying on the ground.

The white and yellow powder cake spilled all over his face, making him look like a fat-faced Rakshasa.

She doesn't understand.

She obviously hit the other party, so why did a gust of wind blow her face and covered her face?
And my vanity box was clearly placed well, why did it all fall out.

The woman really couldn't figure it out, she was angry and anxious and felt extremely wronged for a while.

As soon as the body was relaxed, he began to play tricks on the ground.

"Oh my god, is there any reason? These days, Xiaosan is so arrogant."

Her head buzzed from the shock of her pig-killing voice.

Even the earwax came out.

Bai Lu picked out her ears and said helplessly.

"I said, auntie, are you a little bit self-aware? As for Liu Dahai in your family, he even thinks he is oily, and someone wants to seduce him? What are you trying to figure out? Figure him out in the Mediterranean Sea, high blood pressure, or urinary incontinence? Don't worry, you and her are a perfect match, no one can separate you."

The girl's mouth was so bad that the woman was taken aback when she heard it, and then burst into tears.

"Liu Dahai, you have no conscience, what kind of little vixen did you recruit?"

Bai Lu shook her head.

At this time, the police officers in the room saw that the woman was not messing around, so they gradually relaxed their grip on her.

Someone adjusted the uniform, and then came to the table and said to the girl.

"Miss Bai, you are like this. Liu Dahai's family members call the police. We invite you to make a record."

"The police have been called." Bai Lu glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "How is Liu Dahai? He won't die."

"Uh, that's not true," the police officer was taken aback, and then said, "According to the hospital examination, Mr. Liu Dahai suffered from multiple complications such as high blood pressure, high blood fat, dizziness, cystitis, myocardial infarction, and other complications, which led to paralysis of body functions. Slanted mouth, dizziness, visual impairment and other symptoms..."

"It's just a stroke," Bai Lu said bluntly, then glanced at him, "It's not my fault."

The policeman couldn't help but cry, "Of course I can't blame Ms. Bai. Mr. Liu Dahai has exceeded the three high standards for many years, and has a mild myocardial infarction. His family also has a history of bladder cancer. These diseases in his body are not surprising at all, the only thing that is strange." What happened was that these diseases broke out together, directly causing a stroke..."

"Then he will lie on the bed forever?" Bai Lu asked enthusiastically.

Seeing the girl's bright eyes, the little police officer wiped off his sweat and said, "I don't know, it needs to be checked by the hospital. We invited Miss Bai here just to find out about the situation."

As he spoke, he took another look at Bai Lu, "After all, when Liu Dahai fell ill, you were the only one there, Miss Bai. We want to know what happened at that time."

Bai Lu understood his eyes, raised her hands and said, "We don't have physical contact."

The police officer smiled, "It's true that Liu Dahai doesn't have your hair and sweat on his body..."

The howling woman was taken aback for a moment, then stared blankly at the girl, then glared fiercely at Yao Mimi.

The police officer continued.

"We just want to know why Mr. Liu Dahai asked you to go to the office? What happened during that time?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu took out an invitation card from her bag and said.

"It's nothing. He invited me to the company's high-level party. Maybe he got sick because he was too excited."

Look at that gorgeous and luxurious black invitation card.

The little policeman said in surprise, "The Huo family's invitation card at the Royal Court Hotel."

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows. It seems that the big boss of her company is quite respectable, even the police know about it.

And the one who reacted the most was Liu Dahai's wife.

She jumped up from the ground almost all at once, and rushed to the table like a hungry tiger, trying to grab the invitation.

But he was stopped by the police next to him.

"Why is this invitation with you?" The woman howled crazily, even ten times more excited than beating the mistress just now.

Bai Lu picked up the black invitation card and shook it, knowingly asked, "Of course Director Liu gave me this invitation card, don't you have it?"

The fat woman froze, and let out a scream.

Beating his chest, he said, "Liu Dahai. You have no heart. My mother has been with you for so long and raised children for you, but she is not as good as the little vixen outside. Why are you doing this to me?"

At this moment, Yao Mimi, with disheveled hair, raised her eyelids, seeing the woman's distraught appearance, a hint of sarcasm emerged from the corner of her damaged mouth.

This time the fat woman seemed to be heartbroken, she sat there crying, sobbing, and didn't have time to pay attention to other people.

Amidst this chaos, transcripts sit quickly.

In the end, Bai Lu didn't forget to take the invitation.

"You can't take the invitation away." The fat woman wanted to stop it.

But the girl sent her back indifferently.

"This invitation was handed over to me by Director Liu Haihai personally. It is an internal invitation of a subsidiary company of Mingyuan Group. If you want to get it back, please ask Director Liu to take it back in person."

With that said, he put the invitation in his bag and walked out of the police station.

By the time we got out of the police station, it was already past five o'clock.

Bai Lu didn't go back to the company, but took the subway directly to her rental house.

The rental house is located in the outskirts of the city, and it is an abandoned family home for employees of state-owned enterprises.

Most of the residents have moved out and rented out to some migrant workers.

Everyone lives here without a meal, and they will be demolished at some point.

When Bai Lu stepped out of the subway, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Leaving the brightly lit main road, one enters a quiet and dark world.

Due to disrepair for a long time, the street lamps in the family courtyard have long been broken.

The old family buildings are like huge mountains in the dark.

The windows were dark, and occasionally a few were lit.

The cement road under my feet has long been weathered, and it is full of potholes like walking over hills, with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There are still some painted iron bars on the playground next to the road, reflecting cold light.

From time to time, two or three figures can be found squatting in the corner smoking.

I can't see their faces clearly, only the red sparks of cigarette butts are flickering in the black.

This is where Bai Lu came to Sioux City from her hometown to settle down.

Like a forgotten corner of the city.

Although desolate, but cheap.

She walked into one of the family buildings.

The old building was still as dark and quiet as ever.

As for room [-] on the third floor, there was a ray of light coming through the crack in the door.

Warm, soft.

A faint smell of food came from inside.

Before Bai Lu took out the key, the heavy door in front of her swung open.

Warm yellow lights poured out.

A tall figure appeared.

He hugged the girl, his voice hoarse and excited.

"Lulu, you are finally back, I miss you so much."

The man is very tall, a full 1.9 meters five, and the girl's head only reaches his chest.

She was hugged tightly by the man, with her face pressed against his chest, and the sweater on the tip of her nose seemed to carry the breath of time.

His chin rested lightly on the top of his head, his handsome face was hazy under the warm yellow light.

In a soft voice, "Lulu, let's never separate, okay?"

Looking at those eyes that were as clear as a transparent lake, Bai Lu's expression was slightly dazed.

Then he gently pushed him away and walked into the room.

"Come in and talk about something."

A faint voice came.

There was a smile on the man's face.

Close the door, turn around and walk in.

At this time, Bai Lu looked at him carefully.

This is a tall and sunny boy with a handsome appearance and a temperament between an adult and a student.

Wearing an off-white sweater and standing under the warm yellow light, her clean eyes seemed to be full of warmth, staring at herself with a smile.

An apron was tied around his waist, giving him a breath of life.

I haven't seen him in this world for several months, and he doesn't seem to have changed.

At this time, her eyes fell on the dining table, four dishes and one soup, still the same as a few months ago.

Looking at the girl's gaze, the boy smiled.

"Hungry, I made your favorite steamed sea bass, scrambled eggs with fungus, boiled shrimp, cold cucumber, and winter melon soup with egg drop."

While helping the girl to open the chair, he introduced it as if offering a treasure.

At the same time, he skillfully served her half of the rice.

"Try it and see if my skills have improved."

Under the man's gaze, the girl took a bite of vegetables and rice, and the familiar taste bloomed in her taste buds.

Seeing the girl eating seriously, a satisfied smile appeared on the boy's face.

At this moment, the phone in hand rang, Bai Lu glanced at the caller ID, and then at him.

The man followed his gaze and smiled.

"It's the dean calling, you go and pick it up."

Bai Lu walked into the room silently.

Close the door.

There was only the man himself in the room.

He looked at the girl's room, his clear eyes suddenly became deep.

A flaming portal of light appeared out of nowhere from behind him.

A figure stepped out of it.

Respectfully said to him, "Master, we found a monster of fate that does not belong to this time and space."

in the room.

Leaning her back against the door, Bai Lu let out a hard breath.

Before I knew it, I was already drenched in cold sweat.

Muttering to himself, "The breath of the long river of time..."

 Ask for a monthly pass!

  Friends who have a monthly pass vote for the monthly pass.
