Knowing that the people who came on the yacht were distinguished guests from London, and they were Ruthia's mother and son, Chu Lei led the housekeeper and the others to greet them in person at the gate of the mansion.
An Yina got out of the carriage, gave Chu Lei a European-style meeting ceremony, and respectfully said, "Please, sir."
Chu Lei replied with a European-style gentleman's courtesy, "It's an honor to meet the princess here, please come in."
The people in the carriage came down one after another, and followed An Yina into the Lord's mansion slowly...
Gu Xinyan walked at the end, she hugged Andy, with a kind smile on her face, "Di'er really doesn't know Auntie?"
Andy shook his head, "I don't know you anymore, aunt, have you ever hugged me before?"
This question made Gu Xinyan's face turn red. She thought for a while and said, "I hugged you before, but you didn't like us to hug you. Back then you liked to beat people."
"Did I beat Brother Xingxing?"
"Yeah, you just like Little Sister Pickled Cabbage."
Only then did Andy nod his head, "Then I won't blame my aunt."
Gu Xinyan couldn't help laughing, "Why do you want to blame me?"
"You don't like me, just like grandpa, you want to send me to Heisen's daddy."
Gu Xinyan felt guilty and kissed his face, "I'm sorry, at that time my aunt should have objected to my grandfather sending you so far away, but my aunt and your father have worked hard and wanted to bring you back as soon as possible."
"Where's my daddy?" As soon as Gu Haoran was mentioned, Andy's attention became concentrated.
Gu Xinyan's eyes dodged, and when she didn't know how to answer him, Ruthia, who was walking in front, stopped, turned her head and called Andy, "Dier, come down and walk by yourself, aunt is tired."
"Okay." Andy shifted his attention.
After letting him get off the ground, Gu Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances with Rusia, and nodded to her, "Sisi, accompany your mommy, I'll go to the kitchen."
Andy ran to the front, took Rusia's hand and left.
For lunch, the Duke's Mansion entertained guests from afar with a lot of food and wine, but the host and guests who had their own thoughts didn't eat much, and during the dinner, no one mentioned Gu Haoran at all.
After the meal, Andy yelled at Ruthia again, "Mum, take me to find Papa, I want to see Papa."
I was always uneasy, so after I came to Jiangshan Island to see my mother, little Andy's desire to see his papa became stronger.
It seemed that only when he saw Papa could he feel at ease.
Rusia nodded slightly to the people present, then took his little hand out of the restaurant, sat on the corridor, Rusia said: "Dier, Mommy told you that Papa has gone to a far away city now, He's helping grandpa with his business."
"Mummy," Andy blinked his big eyes, "do you want to tell me that Papa went to Africa?"
"...Yes, that's the place Papa has been to before."
"But Dier dreamed that Baba was being chased by a big fish in the sea."
Ruthia's heart tightened, and she stared at him blankly...
Andy took a breath and said again: "Grandma said, Baba was not eaten by the big fish, he killed the big fish, and later, Dier dreamed that Baba left in a big boat, grandma said, Baba came to the river by boat Shandao is gone, but why isn't he here?"
Ruthia hugged him, her eyes were red, "He came, but left again."
It turned out that mother came to Jiangshan Island for a reason, not only to see herself, but also because Andy kept clamoring to see Papa and Mommy.
Andy's small face was pressed against her chest, with a sad expression, "Mommy, don't lie to me."
Ruthia's voice choked slightly, "I won't lie to you, Papa will definitely come back after finishing her work."
...
"Brother!" Ling Moxue called Ling Qiyang to the study room alone as soon as he came home from school that day, with a serious expression, "Tell Mommy, who gave permission for you to publish some photos of Uncle Haoran on the Internet?"
Ling Qiyang looked at her calmly, "I decided on my own."
"Why are you doing this?"
"I suspect that something happened to my uncle, and everyone couldn't find him."
Ling Moxue was startled, and then she immediately closed the door of the study room, and patted his arm resentfully, "How can you publish a missing person notice on your own initiative? If you do this, everyone in the world will know that your uncle is missing." Already!"
"No, I just organized an activity to find the best celebrity face on the Internet, uploaded a photo of my uncle, and asked netizens to find someone who looks like him, and see who looks the most like him.
Mommy, you have also seen that my post not only has a photo of my uncle, but also photos of three other male celebrities. Netizens are interested in participating in the activity of finding the celebrity's face, and they will not suspect what happened to my uncle.
I want to use this method to let netizens all over the world help us find my uncle. This will greatly increase the chances and save a lot of manpower and material resources. Mommy, please support me. "
After Ling Qiyang finished speaking, he grabbed his mother's hand with earnest eyes, "Grandma passed out that day, and I knew it was because of my uncle. Also, I overheard grandma calling grandpa, and Daddy suddenly flew back from Africa directly , I must have gone to find my uncle."
Ling Moxue frowned slightly, worried, "Are you sure that uncle is missing?"
"Mommy, don't you still doubt it?"
Ling Moxue shook her head, "I have the same guess as you, Uncle Haoran may have had an accident at sea."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Moxue's eyes turned red and she felt extremely sad.
Ling Qiyang hurriedly helped her sit down, and handed her a glass of water, "Mummy, you are pregnant, don't be sad, and, for grandma, you have to pretend to be happy every day, only in this way, grandma will believe Uncle is fine, and don't let her go online."
"Your grandma didn't like surfing the Internet."
"But I'm afraid that she will miss her uncle and will go online to find some news."
"Okay, I'll look after grandma." Ling Moxue smiled at him and cast a trusting gaze, "Baby, if you find any reliable information, you must report it to Mommy, and we will confirm it after confirmation." Report to your grandpa."
"okay!"
five days have passed...
"Chairman, Qiangzi sent a message saying that Mrs. An Yina took Young Master Andy to Jiangshan Island." On this day, Huang Cheng entered the chairman's office to report the situation to Gu Jincheng.
"Going to Jiangshan Island?" Gu Jincheng was surprised, "Why didn't Sophia Castle discuss with us in advance?"
This An Yina is too bold, too powerful, right? Do things vigorously and resolutely.
It's just, how hard it is to take a child along this journey.
"Yes, and also, the CEO and his fleet have been searching at sea for five days, and they have slowly approached Jiangshan Island, but...the second young master has not been found." Huang Cheng said in a low tone, looking at Gu Jincheng carefully.
In the past week, his chairman has lost a lot of weight. He even forgot to shave the beard on his chin today. While he is busy with the daily work of the group, he is concerned about his second son. He is really exhausted physically and mentally.
After hearing this, Gu Jincheng was heartbroken and his brain was convulsed. He lowered his head, propped his right hand on his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tell Qiangzi, the fleet can go to Jiangshan Island to provide supplies, but the stay does not need to be too long. If it’s less than the second young master, then...then go back."
The last four words were choked up almost inaudible.
It can be seen how painful the chairman is, and he gave up searching, which shows that he has accepted the fact that his second son "died".
Huang Cheng looked at him sadly, then slowly turned and walked out of the chairman's office.
When the door closed with a "de", tears from the corners of Gu Jincheng's eyes fell on the table with a "plop" sound...
Haoran, my son!
His heart seemed to be grasped and pulled out of his chest by an invisible hand. When Gu Jincheng was turning pale from the pain, the phone on the table suddenly dinged.
He slowly opened his eyes and put down his hands. His blurred eyes saw the headshot of his grandson Ling Qiyang flashing on the phone screen...
