Zhou Muqing was trying to contact Pippi all the way, but he couldn't reach her. He suddenly thought of something about Pippi's family.
Her parents went abroad after she returned from her vacation because her aunt had an accident abroad.
Zhou Muqing immediately asked someone to check the location of Aunt Pippi's company, and it turned out that she was in the same city as Pippi who was investigated by the secretary.
She may have gone to find her aunt and family, but why did she turn off the phone, why couldn't she get in touch.
After wandering around all afternoon, Zhou Muqing arrived at the city where Pippi was.
According to the information given by the secretary, he found the hotel where Pippi lived before.
This hotel is very average, it's an affordable one, it's not like a hotel that Pippi would stay in, but Zhou Muqing confirmed that Pippi had indeed stayed in it when he checked the check-in information.
He pointed to Pippi's name, "When did this person leave and where did he go?"
The staff refused to say anything, Zhou Muqing took out his ID card, and then gave it to the consumer before speaking.
The hotel staff said that Pippi checked out the room last night, and they didn't know where he went, and they had no right to ask the customer's whereabouts.
He is now sure that Pippi is in this city, but where to find her...
In desperation, Zhou Muqing contacted Pippi's family.
Fortunately, Pippi's mother answered the phone.
"Auntie, did Pippi come to see you? I just went abroad, I know her news, and I want to see her."
Pippi's mother hesitated on the phone for a long time before she spoke, "She is with me, if you want to see her, I will send you her address."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
After a few minutes, Zhou Muqing received the address.
When he arrived, he saw an old western-style building, a separate one, and they were on the ninth floor.
Zhou Muqing reached the ninth floor and rang the doorbell. It was Pipi's mother who opened the door, "You're here, come in quickly."
"Auntie, where's Pippi?"
Zhou Muqing looked around, but did not find Pippi.
Pippi's mother smiled softly, but after seeing her for only a few months, she seemed to be ten years older, only the smile remained unchanged, still full of kindness.
"Pippi knows you're coming, there's nothing at home, so I'm going to buy food."
"Um."
At this moment, Zhou Muqing clearly felt that something was wrong with Pipi's family, but he was too embarrassed to ask Pipi's mother directly, everything would be discussed after Pipi came back, it also depended on her condition.
In short, now that he has found Pippi, he can feel a little more at ease.
More than half an hour later, Pippi entered the house excitedly carrying the vegetables and fruits bought from the supermarket.
"Uncle, I have learned several dishes recently, and I will cook them for you later."
The way she spoke didn't change, but she didn't look at Zhou Muqing when she spoke, and walked into the kitchen while talking.
Zhou Muqing suggested to help but was stopped by Pippi's mother, "You are a guest, so let me go."
He didn't insist, maybe Pippi's mother had something to say to Pippi, and it's not good for him to insist.
Pippi and her mother were preparing dinner in the kitchen, and when it was ready, the three of them sat at the dining table together.
"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
There was almost no surprise in Pippi's words, but a bit of worry.
Zhou Muqing replied with a relaxed look, "I just happened to be abroad for business."
"Then how did you find me?"
Zhou Muqing didn't say anything about Pippi's absence from class, he just said he wanted to see Pippi, and asked his secretary to check if he couldn't get in touch.
