635 Reuniting

Under the gazes of the three people, Chu Ning dialed the phone. “Auntie Wu Mei? I’ve already met your sister. She misses you very much and wants to see you now.”

Hearing the sobbing voice on the other end of the phone, Xing Fei covered her mouth and cried until she was out of breath.

Chu Ning hung up the phone and said, “I’ll take you there. It’s not easy to find that place.”

After a period of chaos, they finally arrived at Wu Mei’s house before it turned dark. Xing Fei knocked on the door with trembling hands. When she saw Wu Mei’s old face, she wiped her tears and sized her up several times. Then, she hugged her and wept, “Xiao Lin!”

Wu Mei was in Xing Fei’s arms. Tears welled up in her eyes and she carefully hugged Xing Fei back. When she spoke, her voice trembled uncontrollably. “Sister…”

Xing Fei’s husband rubbed his eyes. “Xiao Fei, Xiao Lin, let’s talk inside.”

Xing Fei wiped her face haphazardly and held Wu Mei’s hand as she walked into the house. As she entered, she saw the dilapidated appearance of the house and could not stop crying.

When they reached somewhere where they could sit down, the two sisters sat. Xing Fei gazed at her sister, not wanting to look away, but she didn’t know what to say.

Suddenly, Xing Fei thought of Niu Wen. “Niu Wen, come and kneel down.”

Minister Niu was considered influential in the outside world, but in front of these people, he knelt down as he was asked.

Xing Fei looked at Wu Mei. “Xiao Lin, look. This is your child.” Then, she said to Minister Niu, “Niu Wen, call ‘Mom’.”

Without waiting for Minister Niu to speak, Wu Mei smiled. “Sis, I’ve never raised him all these many years. You raised him. He’s your son.”

Faced with this family matter, Chu Ning also knew that it was not good for her to be present, so she quietly left.

After waiting for about an hour, Minister Niu walked out of the house. His eyes were red, probably from crying.

He walked to Chu Ning’s side and wiped his eyes, slightly emotional. “Chu Ning, we must really thank you for this.” Then, he suddenly laughed and said, “I won’t hide it from you. After I became a minister, many people wanted to make an issue out of this missing person notice. They hoped that they could get favors from me, but they all failed.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Ning. “Who would have thought that a young lady like you would have found her. It seems that it’s not just luck that enabled you to occupy a piece of land in M City in such a short time.”

Chu Ning also smiled. “Minister Niu is making too much of it.”

Minister Niu patted her on the shoulder. “I thought you helped my mother with something that’s been on her mind. I didn’t expect you to also help me find my biological mother. You can ask for anything in return for this favor. When I’m done here, let’s meet and talk about it in detail. Just tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I’ll try my best.”

Chu Ning was delighted. She had been waiting for this sentence. Now that she was confident about obtaining the land, Chu Ning felt relieved. “Minister Niu, you’re too kind. I won’t disturb your family reunion. I’ll take my leave first.”

Minister Niu didn’t ask her to stay. That day’s impact on him was too great; he needed some time to digest it.

It was too late to go back to M City. Chu Ning found a hotel and stayed in bed with nothing to do. After thinking about it, she took out her phone and called Yan Shen.

The call went through very quickly. It was as if the person on the other end had been waiting by the phone almost all day. There was no hint of sleepiness in Yan Shen clear voice. “Hello? What’s up?”

Chu Ning felt relaxed the moment she heard Yan Shen’s voice. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Yan Shen was silent for a moment. He seemed a little surprised and a little depressed. “You called me so late at night to ask me why I haven’t slept?”

Chu Ning burst out laughing. Yan Shen’s tone was really a little cute. He was no longer the aloof school hunk from back then. “How could it be? Boss Yan is so busy, I definitely have to talk about something deeper. Let me think, what should I talk about?”

Yan Shen surprisingly said, “Bone broth.”

Chu Ning was stunned, “What?”

“We’re talking about bone broth. It’s deep.” Yan Shen repeated himself.

Chu Ning was silent for a moment, holding back her laughter as her voice shook. “Yan Shen, you know how to tell cold jokes too.”

Yan Shen heard her trembling voice and sighed helplessly.

The two of them listened to each other’s breathing and then said in unison, “Good night. Hope you have sweet dreams.”
