Chapter 21 A Petri Dish of Rich Emotions
Haicheng.

Back in the city, the bustle of feasting and feasting instantly replaced the discomfort caused by the remote mountains and forests. Within two days, the memory of the night spent in the hospital seemed to have rough edges, began to become blurred, and was left behind.

Zhuang Jie and the others played day and night. Ling Jiangyu was so busy with work that he couldn't even go home, so he could only find time to ask about Ling Jiangyue's physical condition.

The infrasound incident this time irritated Zhuang Mei. She did not allow her newly found daughter to get into trouble again. She did not allow her to join the program group again. She kept her at home like a kitten and inquired about her every day. A preference and habit.

For example, knowing that she likes to eat ice cream, the nanny asked the nanny to stock up on a box of ice cream the next day. For that box of ice cream, he even bought a very girly, high-end luxury brand mini-refrigerator just for her to use.

On the contrary, the client, Ling Jiangyue, ate and slept at home like a normal person, and did not easily move around downstairs.Ling Jiangyu went home five or six times, and only once saw her chewing nut chocolate at the kitchen door.

It seemed that she was not the one who was frightened by the infrasound damage before.

Today was a little different, she just disappeared.

Zhuang Mei got up early and asked her to have dinner, but she didn't see anyone. She looked around but no one answered, and no one answered her phone calls. She was so frightened that she shouted louder, ran downstairs in panic, and almost fell down.

"Jiang Yue is gone! She's not in the room! Did she leave again..." She wanted to say if she got lost again, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible.

This is no longer how the daughter got lost when she was a child. It could only be that she walked away on her own.

Zhuang Mei grabbed Ling Zhicheng's hand, her voice trembling: "Does she hate us for not finding her? Does she hate us for bringing Jiang Nian back to raise her? But that's what Jiang Yu really can't bear..."

During this period of time, she saw that her daughter was not close to her, and this thought played out repeatedly in her mind.

Ling Zhicheng supported her and comforted her: "Don't think too much. What if she is waiting for breakfast in the kitchen or in other small rooms and doesn't hear you calling her."

The home was very large, with three long corridors on the first floor alone. The kitchen and nanny's room were at the back, far away from the living room. Normally, the nanny would make a phone call to notify them when the meal was ready. She couldn't hear them just by shouting.

After hearing this, Zhuang Mei asked the nanny again, and the answer was not at all.

Ling Zhicheng reassured: "She should just go out for a walk. Maybe she has a habit of morning exercise?"

Zhuang Mei choked up: "Impossible, she has been back for so long, she has never done morning exercises, and she never leaves in the morning. She likes to sleep."

Ling Jiangyu was sleeping at home last night. He heard her voice upstairs and hurried downstairs without even putting on his shirt.

"What's wrong, Mom? What's wrong with Jiang Yue?"

Zhuang Mei's well-maintained face showed a hint of fatigue: "Jiang Yue is not at home. She didn't say hello to anyone. I don't know where she went."

He frowned, but said slowly on his face: "It's okay, I'll go find her, she might just be strolling around."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of unlocking and opening the door. All three people looked back, startling the person who was about to enter.

"Mom?" It's Ling Jiangnian.

She deliberately chose this time to come back so that she didn't have to face Ling Jiangyue.But the situation at home made her a little uneasy.

"Brother, what's wrong?" She subconsciously leaned towards Ling Jiangyu.

"I don't know where Jiang Yue went," Ling Jiangyu calmed down, raised his neck slightly, quickly buttoned his shirt, and then said, "I'll go out and look for him."

"I'll come with you, brother." She couldn't sit here and remain indifferent.

Zhuang Mei was reluctant, thinking that Jiang Yue might not be happy to see her, but after all, this was her daughter that she had raised for ten years. She knew that she had no other thoughts and really wanted to help, so she found a compromise and she followed suit. go together.

At the end of the discussion, the whole family went out, including the nanny and Uncle Fu.

Because they didn't know where Ling Jiangyue had gone, whether it was near or far away, they could only watch the surveillance camera first, and then ask around one by one.When I saw the surveillance camera at the gate of the villa area, I noticed her figure. She was walking eastward, and she didn't look like she was running away from home.Ling Jiangyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked east. Ten minutes later, Ling Jiangnian was the first to see someone in the queue at a breakfast restaurant.

It's still a bit cold at eight o'clock in the morning this season. As soon as the steamer in the breakfast shop was taken out, the steaming heat expanded outside. The steam blurred the faces of the people in the front row, but the yawning movements and lazily talking voices were still very clear. Clear.

In the team were employees from nearby companies, students in fine school uniforms, and some old people carrying vegetable baskets, turning their heads in twos and threes and talking.Ling Jiangyue was mixed in, counting the money with his head down, looking up to see how long it would be until he arrived, and from time to time he would listen to the conversations of the people in front and behind him.

When she lowered her head, her chin was buried in the collar of the hooded sweatshirt, and her profile looked clean and beautiful.Ling Jiangyu was so soft that he couldn't say anything accusatory.

He only felt that the blood all over his body was flowing back again at this time, as if he had just stopped after running 2000 meters. His breath conveyed the heat, evaporating the emotions that had surged when he saw his sister in the hospital a few days ago.

It seemed as if every step I took to find her today was making up for the past.

It's just that the surge of emotions was too exaggerated, and subconsciously he felt something was wrong, which made his brows jump.

However, when he saw the people in the team, he put aside these thoughts and walked over to call out to Ling Jiangyue who was slowly moving forward.

"Jiang Yue."

In fact, Ling Jiangyue had noticed them a long time ago, but he didn't respond. He just let them look at them. When he heard the sound, he turned around and looked over, his eyes showing surprise.

Two minutes later, she walked up to them holding the mochi fried dough sticks she bought and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Because I'm looking for you," the person who spoke was Ling Zhicheng. He followed him for half an hour. His tone was not good and his expression was serious. "Why don't you tell someone when you go out? Do you know that we are worried about you? Call me. I didn’t know how to answer it, so the whole family came out to look for you.”

They are so used to being pampered that they have to have their chopsticks at hand before eating. They come out early in the morning to look for people, and their clothes are messed up when they run around, making people laugh in vain.

Ling Jiangyu deliberately stopped him and said, "Dad."

However, the corners of Ling Jiangyue's mouth were already suppressed.

"I didn't tell you because you didn't get up. I didn't answer the phone because it was muted. I don't need to report everything in the orphanage..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Zhicheng kept talking: "This is not a welfare home! Just be polite when you come back. If you want something to eat, can't you ask the driver to buy it? You are not a wild child!"

"dad!"

"Don't say a word!"

Ling Jiang Yuhui and Zhuang Mei raised their voices to suppress his words.

"Needless to say," Ling Jiangyue chuckled and laughed at himself, "I'm just a wild child. Look, mochi fried dough sticks, I've never eaten such delicious food, and I didn't know there was such a long line at a breakfast restaurant. people."

Ling Zhicheng's expression stiffened, and his anger gradually turned into guilt.

The atmosphere is like a hole-in-the-wall wooden house in winter, so cold that one is frozen in place and speechless.

She took a bite of the fried dough sticks and looked at them with hidden eyes.

Four people, each of them has different emotions, guilt, worry, hesitation, embarrassment, rich and changeable.

Especially the flash of anger. She had been separated from this strong emotion for a long time.

　I really wanted to publish it together with the next chapter, so that it felt complete and perfect, but after looking at the limited inventory, my left hand cruelly held down my right hand.
