305 There seems to be a secret
Shen Jiaqi's thanks were formal and polite. Li Mubai nodded and accepted it with a proud and frivolous attitude.
Li Mubai didn't say anything more. His original worries were also swept away. He looked at Shen Jiaqi contemptuously and turned away without saying hello.
Shen Jiaqi's mind was puzzled. She wondered where Li Mubai got his sense of superiority. When he came out, he seemed to be humble and ask for something from him... Is it because the other party knows that he doesn't care about Lu Siqing's custody? Or is it because he is angry that he wants to go up the mountain to see his parents?
Not long after Li Mubai walked away, Lu Wanzhou pulled Lu Siqing down. By this time, it was completely dark.
"Uncle Shen, let's go to dinner."
Hearing his son call him uncle, Shen Jiaqi's little heart ached. He raised his eyes and saw that Lu Wanzhou wanted to stop talking. He had to respond generously and follow them out.
"They...father and son recognize each other?"
Lu Wanzhou nodded.
"Okay, this is probably the end that the senior sister hopes for. If you knew that Li Mubai would appear, you wouldn't go to me, would you?
This is indeed a fact, and Lu Wanzhou has no choice but to deny it.
"But... this seems to be very unfair to you. Obviously, Siqing is your son, but now you can only listen to him call you uncle."
Shen Jiaqi smiled and said, "There is no loss. After all, I didn't do anything for him. In the past, my senior sister was raising him, and in the future it will be Li Mubai. What does it have to do with me... except blood?"
Lu Wanzhou bowed his head and said nothing. No matter what she said, she could not change the fait accompli. Si Qing is still young. Let him know less about the obscene things of adults. Although it's really unfair to Shen Jiaqi.
Lu Siqing ran in front of the two in a good mood, and Shen Jiaqi looked at him enviously. If he knew his father at Lu Siqing's age, he would be so happy and uncontrollably excited, even if he couldn't confirm whether the other party was his biological father, even if his mother was dying.
After a simple dinner, Lu Wanzhou took him to the best hotel in the town. "This is the key. We won't go up. The luggage has been left in the room. If you need anything, just go directly to the boss. We all call him Uncle Wu."
Shen Jiaqi nodded, "Okay, you can also go to rest early."
Watching them leave, Shen Jiaqi suddenly remembered something and stopped Lu Wanzhou. "Li Mubai said that he would take me up the mountain tomorrow. How can we contact him?"
Lu Wanzhou curled his lips impatiently, "I'll give him your number."
After saying that, Lu Wanzhou did not mean to leave immediately. Shen Jiaqi smiled, "Are you worried about something? He won't push me down the mountain, will he?"
"That's not necessarily the same."
Lu Wanzhou shook his head after saying that, "I know you want to confirm the relationship between you. I still hope there is no relationship between you."
Shen Jiaqi also wanted to ask again. Lu Wanzhou turned around and pulled Lu Siqing away.
Lu Siqing politely turned around and waved to him, "Goodbye, Uncle Shen."
Shen Jiaqi also waved with a smile, "Goodbye." Son.
It was not until she could no longer see their backs that Shen Jiaqi stepped into the hotel. There was a middle-aged man with glasses at the front desk who was looking intently at the 11-inch small TV in front of him and did not notice that someone came in.
Shen Jiaqi looked down at the room number on the key, 308. Is it on the third floor? Unable to disturb the boss, he walked upstairs by himself.
"Hey, which room?"
Suddenly stopped, Shen Jiaqi was shocked and turned around with the key, "308."
Boss Uncle Wu pushed his glasses and walked out around the table, "Mu Bai? Li Mubai? I heard that you are back, but I still don't believe it. It's true. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. It's really... Yes... How do you say that word? Look at it with new eyes, yes, look at it with new eyes.
"You should look at each other with new eyes for three days."
Boss Uncle Wu nodded happily, "Yes, that's the word."
Shen Jiaqi smiled and explained, "I'm not Li Mubai. My name is Shen Jiaqi."
Uncle Wu took a cold breath and repeated, "Aren't you Li Mubai?"
"Well, it's not."
Uncle Wu took off his wig and touched the smooth top of his head and sighed, "It's not Li Mubai... so similar... How can it be so similar, is it..."
"Excuse me..."
"Oh, it's okay. I've got the wrong person. I won't delay you. Go up and have a rest early. There is hot water in the small room at the corner of the stairs. Just call it yourself."
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Jiaqi turned upstairs in front of him.
Uncle Wu looked at it and made sure that he went upstairs and hurried back to the counter to pick up the phone. At that time, Shen Jiaqi stepped down gently and hid on the stairs to listen to him on the phone.
"Hey, where's your father? Let your father answer the phone. What? I drank too much again. I woke up and told him that something had happened. Oh, leave it alone. Wake him up quickly. Be careful that I lock up Yingzi so that she won't see you.
Shen Jiaqi shook her head with a smile. Uncle Wu is really interesting. I just don't know what shocking "big event" he can hear.
"Lao Qiu, wake up, the child is back, and the second child is back. Yes, the second son of the Lang family lives in my store now. The room number is... The third floor. He lives on the third floor. Yes, yes, yes, come here quickly. Let's discuss it. Okay, okay, I'll wait for you."
After saying that, Uncle Wu hung up the phone and turned his head to look at the stairs.
Shen Jiaqi quickly dodged and walked upstairs.
As soon as I turned on the light in the room and sat down, someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, it was really Uncle Wu.
"Child, is this your first time here? Come on, I got you a pot of hot water."
Shen Jiaqi quickly took the thermos and let Uncle Wu in. "Your service is so thoughtful. I just wanted to say that I would pack my bags and go to fend water for drinking. I didn't expect you to bring it up so soon."
Uncle Wu smiled and said nothing more, but his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on him, and he didn't let go of anything like a detector.
"Do you... have something else to do?"
"Oh, it's okay."
He said it was okay, but Uncle Wu didn't mean to leave. Shen Jiaqi couldn't make a sound to drive him away, so she had to open the suitcase and take out her pajamas in front of him, looking like she was about to take a shower.
"Well, then I'll go out first. You can call me if you need anything."
"Okay, take your time."
Send Uncle Wu away, Shen Jiaqi's "big" word lying on **, staring at the quaint yellow light bulb in a daze.
"The second brother is back, the second brother of the Lang family." Are you talking about him? So, is Li Mubai really his brother? Are the two old people buried on the mountain really the adoptive parents of Li Mubai? Then who are he, their biological parents, and why hasn't had any information at all for more than 30 years? How could he be in Lanshan City thousands of miles away?
If there is no news from his parents because he is in Lanshan City, what about Li Mubai? How can there be no trace found in the same small town?
If that's the case, how cruel will their biological parents be?
The more she thought about it, the more confused her mind became, and her body became hotter. Shen Jiaqi pushed open the window and wanted to calm down.
It happened that the sound of "jumping" came from far to near. An agricultural tricycle was parked at the door of the hotel, and a thin old man came down from behind. Uncle Wu patted his thigh to welcome him in, and then the agricultural tricycle drove away again.
Shen Jiaqi knew that this was the "Lao Qiu" who answered the phone just now. What will they say? Where will they say it?
After thinking about it, Shen Jiaqi took out a ticket from her wallet and went downstairs. She happened to meet Uncle Wu and Lao Qiu upstairs.
Seeing him, Lao Qiu was also stunned and couldn't help whispering, "It's really like."
Then Uncle Wu asked nervously, "Son, where are you going so late?"
Shen Jiaqi smiled shyly, "I came in a hurry and forgot to buy cigarettes. Where can I buy them around here?"
Uncle Wu pointed his finger and didn't make a sound. Lao Qiu said to him, "Go and buy it for him. I've already told you to set up a cigarette stall at the door."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll buy it, I'll go."
Uncle Wu turned around and left. Shen Jiaqi stopped him, "I'll give you the money."
"Hey--"
Uncle Wu answered and took it.
Immediately, Lao Qiu took Shen Jiaqi to chat on the stairs.
"This old Wu, he didn't listen to what he said several times, and he didn't have any business mind at all. If it hadn't been for everyone's face, he wouldn't have been able to open this store."
Shen Jiaqi smiled silently.
Lao Qiu's smell of wine is very strong, his face is not very good, and his eye bags are big. Obviously, it is a long-term excessive amount of alcohol.
"Where are you from?"
Shen Jiaqi squeezed her lips and smiled. Lao Qiu was really impatient. "Blue Mountain, I came here by plane."
"Oh, you have to take trains and buses, right? Our town is relatively remote. It's not easy to come here. Young people also have no return. I think in a few years, there will be only us old guys left in the town.
Uncle Wu quickly ran back and said, "I forgot to ask, what kind of cigarette do you want to smoke?"
Shen Jiaqi just wanted to find a reason. He didn't want to smoke, but now Uncle Wu asked, he also had to give a clear answer: "What kind of cigarettes do you have here? Give me two more boxes and give it to my friends when I go back.
"Good--"
Uncle Wu dragged the long voice and ran away again.
Lao Qiu didn't seem to like him very much and rolled his eyes unabashedly. "This old Wu is always confused in every way."
"Uncle Wu is very honest."
"Well, it's true, or I wouldn't let my son of a bitch be with his daughter - by the way, what's your name again?"
" Shen Jiaqi."
Shen Jiaqi's eyes are full of smiles, and these two old people are really cute.
" Shen Jiaqi... Who else is there at home?"
"I...my wife, my daughter, my mother-in-law."
Lao Qiu nodded, "Where are your parents? Where are they from?
"They... I don't know. I grew up in an orphanage."
After getting the answer he wanted, Lao Qiu closed his mouth and stopped talking, and his eyes also shone on Shen Jiaqi like a searchlight.
After a while, Uncle Wu came up with two packs of cigarettes, "Son, give you cigarettes. This is the money."
Shen Jiaqi took it with a smile. When she lowered her head and nodded the money, she secretly raised her eyes and saw the two exchanging glances.
