C995 Discover Deceived
It was surrounded by mountains. Compared to the prosperity of a big city, this place was extremely desolate.
The two assistants suspected that they had taken the wrong path. However, Ji Yueze firmly believed that as long as they continued forward, they would be able to get closer to Bai Yiyan.
After walking for another hour and a half, the assistant got out of the car and asked around. They had actually reached their destination.
This was a small town. It was not bustling nor isolated from the world. There were not many people here, but it gave people a very comfortable feeling.
The assistant asked for directions while driving and arrived in front of a small building on the outskirts of a small town.
This small building was quite eye-catching in this town. It was two stories high and had the layout of a villa. There was a large garden in front of the door and it was surrounded by walls. There was a wall of climbing tigers on the wall. It did not look like it was newly built. However, the flowers and plants here were especially lively in the spring.
"Boss, do you need me to go down and knock on the door? I think this is it!" The assistant quickly asked, only to find that Ji Yueze had already opened the door before he could finish listening to him. He then held his breath and knocked on the door.
"Come on," the assistant said. An old lady's voice came.
Immediately after, the door opened with a sound. A thin old lady in good spirits stood in front of the door. She wore a pair of reading glasses and held a long beanhorn in her hand. It seemed like she was cooking.
"Aren't you... Xiao Yan's boyfriend?" The old lady suddenly saw Ji Yueze and pointed at his face. Then, she struggled to figure out who he was in her mind.
"Hello, Grandma. I am Ji Yueze. I am Xiao Yan's boyfriend. Is she here?" Ji Yueze quickly introduced himself and then asked Bai Yiyan about her whereabouts.
"She? She didn't come back. You didn't come with her?" The old lady looked surprised. Then, she stuck her head out and looked outside in disbelief. "She said she wanted to bring you back to play?"
Ji Yueze froze at the door like a statue. The old lady did not look like she was lying.
In other words, Bai Yiyan did not go back to her hometown. Was Bai Wanqing lying to him?
"Grandma, do you want a phone?" Ji Yueze suddenly wanted to confirm something. He had always thought that Bai Yiyan's grandmother was old to the point where she could not walk, but this energetic old lady in front of him made him understand.
"I don't have a phone, but the landline is installed. Young man, did you come alone? What is going on? Where is Xiao Yan?" The old lady asked him anxiously, her eyes full of worry.
Ji Yueze did not know how to explain. He looked at the assistant beside him. One of the assistant quickly went back to the car and carried a pile of gifts and fruits. He had bought them on the road. "Old man, my boss passed by here because of work. He wants to meet you. This is a small gift from my boss. You must accept it." The assistant carried the gifts and walked to the living room.
"Oh, it's like this. Didn't Xiao Yan come with you?" After hearing the assistant's explanation, the old lady finally believed it.
Ji Yueze's stiff expression eased up and he said in a low voice, "She didn't come with us," he said. Grandma, do you live alone?"
"Yes, I live alone. My old man has been gone for many years!" The old lady quickly made way. "Look at me. Come in and have a seat. Let's have lunch here."
Ji Yueze stepped into the garden and found that the plants inside were not expensive flowers or trees. They were all kinds of vegetables. It was spring and had just been planted. There was the fragrance of fresh soil in the yard.
Ji Yueze had never experienced the feeling of a small village before. He was in a daze for a moment.
"Come, you are Ji Yueze. Then I will call you Xiao Ze. You are so handsome. My Xiao Yan is blessed!" The old lady gave him a cup of tea. Ji Yueze held the cup and blushed.
"Thank you, Grandma!" Ji Yueze said gratefully.
The old lady stood next to him and looked at him. She looked at him. He was tall and well-mannered. He looked very likable. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she was.
Ji Yueze felt a little embarrassed being stared at by the old lady. He could only "Did Xiao Yan grow up here in the past?"
"Yes. She has lived here for many years. In the past, when she lived here, the vegetables in the yard were planted by her. After she went to school in a big city, I did it myself. I really suspect that she helped me here." The old lady said with emotion.
Ji Yueze stared at the vegetable garden as if he could imagine Bai Yiyan running around here and there when she was young.
"Xiao Ze, when you came here just now, you asked Xiao Yan if she was here. Are you looking for her?" The old lady was not confused and immediately reacted.
Ji Yueze nodded. "Yes, I am looking for her. We had a bit of a fight. Do you know where she usually goes?"
"I don't know. My phone has been broken recently. She called me not long ago on my neighbor's phone. She told me that she was doing well there and sent me a lot of things. She is a filial child!" The old lady could not understand Ji Yueze's anxiety at the moment. She was only thinking about how much she missed her granddaughter.0
After Ji Yueze finished the cup of tea, he suddenly decided to leave. Because Bai Yiyan was not here, he still had to find her somewhere else. She felt that Bai Wanqing was hiding something from him.
"Grandma, I still need to hurry. Next time when I come to eat with Xiao Yan, I have to go first!" After Ji Yueze finished speaking, he reached into his pocket and took his wallet. He wanted to give the old lady a card, but he felt that it was inappropriate to take the card, so he immediately walked out of the door.
"How much cash do you have?" Xiao Yan asked. Ji Yueze asked directly.
"I have five thousand..."
"I have six thousand!"
Ji Yueze took out the cash from his wallet and put it together. There were more than ten thousand.
"I am in such a hurry. It is not easy for me to come here. I will just have a meal before I leave."
"Grandma, I'm really in a hurry this time. I'll definitely come again next time!" After Ji Yueze said that, he put the money on the table next to him. "Grandma, don't give it to me. Take care of yourself. I am leaving now."
The old lady did not realize that he had put the money on the table for a while. When she saw Ji Yueze into the car, she came back and found that there was a pile of cash there. She rushed out and saw that Ji Yueze's car had gone far away.
Ji Yueze took out his phone and pulled out the phone for Pei Ying.
"Give me auntie's phone number!" Ji Yueze did not save Bai Wanqing's number, so he needed to ask Pei Ying.
He did not have Pei Ying's phone number, but with two assistants here, it was easy to find the company staff number.
"Boss, is this your number?" Pei Ying asked in surprise.
"Send her number over!" Ji Yueze had lost his patience.
Pei Ying quickly replied and was hung up by Ji Yueze.
