"How did you comprehend [Charm]? Could it be that at the age of eighteen, you have already learned how to bewitch others and continued to keep on bewitching others every day? " Xu Taiping asked.
"My instructor said I was born with seductive bones. I didn't learn much, so I naturally know. This is a kind of innate talent … However, if I say that I often go to seduce people, would you be jealous? " Jiufang Nian Lan looked at Xu Taiping and asked curiously.
"Nope." Xu Taiping shook his head and said, "A strong man doesn't know what it means to be jealous. Being jealous is a lack of confidence in one's own ability."
"That's good. This is my job. You know that I need to charm others and get information from them. This is my greatest value." Jiufang Nian Lan said.
"Un, I understand!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"But in the future, I will pay more attention to the measure." Jiufang Nian Lan said.
Xu Taiping smiled, but didn't say anything.
The car slowly drove into an old residential area.
The iron gate of the residential area had been broken for a long time, but no one had built it. There was not a single plant in the middle of the flowerbed, it was all dried up plants and gray soil.
A group of children were playing games around the flower beds, as if they didn't care about the hot sun in the sky at all.
Xu Taiping parked the car in a shady corner, then got out with Jiufang Nian Lan.
"According to the information, your parents live in that building!" Xu Taiping pointed to an eight-storey building more than ten meters away.
The building looked very old and run-down. One could tell that it had been through many years.
"They live on the fourth floor." Jiufang Nian Lan said.
"Let's go!" Xu Taiping took Fang Nian Lan's hand. He wanted to move forward, but he found that Fang Nian Lan was standing right where he was, not moving at all.
"What's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I suddenly feel a little afraid … I don't have any impression of them, or maybe they don't have any impression of me either. When the time comes, we'll be strangers. Jiufang Nian Lan asked.
"Blood is thicker than water, do you understand? Even if the two of you do not have any impression of each other, but your bloodlines are the same, don't you still have questions to ask them? If we don't go up, how do we ask? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Give me a moment … Do you have cigarettes? " Jiufang Nian Lan asked.
"En!" Xu Taiping took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, passed one to Jiufang Indigo, and also took out a lighter to Jiufang Indigo.
Jiufang Nian Lan lit a cigarette, took two deep breaths, and then let out a long breath.
"Alright, that's enough!" Jiufang Nian Lan extinguished his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. Then, he walked towards the building in front of him.
"No matter what happens, you have me by your side. Rest assured." Xu Taiping held onto Jiufang Nian Lan's hand and said seriously.
"En!"
Jiufang Nian Lan nodded.
Together they went to the fourth floor.
There was a long corridor on the fourth floor, with doors on either side. It looked similar to the dormitory in college.
Xu Taiping arrived at the front of the 404 sects according to the information.
Beneath the sign was an old metal door. Behind the door was a wooden door.
At this moment, the wooden door was open and the iron door was shut. Standing outside the door, he could see what was happening inside the house.
The room was a mess, and there were random things placed on the floor. Two middle-aged men in their thirties were lying on an old sofa, watching television. The TV was a very old LCD TV, and it was also very small.
Several children were lying on the ground, taking a nap.
Xu Taiping knocked on the door.
"Who?" A middle-aged man stood up and looked outside.
"Excuse me, is this Jiufang Chaoyang's home?" Xu Taiping asked.
The nine suns were the names of his father.
"Who are you? What are you looking for my dad for?! " The middle-aged man who asked the question stood up from the sofa and frowned as he walked towards the door.
"Are you Jiufang Wenqiang, the second son of Jiufang Zhaoyang?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
"You know me? "You are my dad's friend?!" The other party asked in surprise.
"Of course I know. Can you open the door and let us in? We have something to talk to Jiufang Zhaoyang about. Is he here? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Is he … You must be my dad's friends who came to see him, right? Is this how you come to see a patient? " Jiufang Wenqiang frowned and asked.
Patient?
Xu Taiping froze for a moment, then said, "Your father is sick?"
"Don't you know? "Forget it, come in." As Jiufang Wenqiang spoke, he opened the metal door.
Xu Taiping brought Jiufang Nian Lan into this place that could be considered Jiufang Nian Lan's home.
It was a very ordinary suite, covering an area of about 100 square meters. There was a living room, and then there were three rooms.
The 100 square meters house was quite large, but it looked very crowded because there were too many things inside. There was a shoe cabinet in front of each room, with a carpet, and then there were also a lot of junk placed against the wall. These things made this 100 square meters house look like it wasn't even 50 square meters yet.
"Who's here?!" another middle-aged man who was lying on the sofa asked.
"A friend of Dad's." Jiufang Wenqiang said.
"You are Jiufang Wuqiang, right?" Xu Taiping looked at the middle-aged man on the sofa and asked with a smile.
"It's me, who are you?" the man asked.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Long, and this is my wife, Cheng Yuxin. We came from the Lower Sea City to find Jiufang Zhaoyang, your father." Xu Taiping said.
Just as Xu Taiping finished speaking, the door of a nearby room opened, and an old woman walked out. When she saw Xu Taiping, she was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who is this?"
"They came to look for dad. Mom, do you not know them?" Jiufang Wenqiang asked.
"I don't know him. Why are you looking for our old man? "Who are you?" The old woman asked doubtfully.
"This is a long story. You should be Jiufang Zhaoyang's wife, Lin Qiu Ling, right?" Xu Taiping smiled as he asked. He had memorized the names of all the family members in the Jiufang Chaoyang family, so upon seeing them, he immediately recognized who they were.
"You know my old man? He was ill, and it was difficult to see anyone in the room. What do you guys have to tell me? " The old woman called Lin Qiu Ling said as she walked in front of Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping could feel that when Jiufang Nian Lan saw this woman, his body trembled.
"Sick? What disease? Is it serious? " Xu Taiping asked.
"It's alright. If you have anything to say, just say it. I still have something to do." Lin Qiu Ling said impatiently.
"Alright, then I'll go straight to the point!" Xu Taiping smiled, pointed at Jiufang Nian Lan and said, "This is my wife, Cheng Yu Xin."
"Oh, and then?" Lin Qiu Ling asked.
"I say, you might be a little unfamiliar with her, but my wife has another surname, and that surname is also Jiufang like yours." Xu Taiping said.
"You're also surnamed Jiufang?!" After all, the surname 'Jiufang' was rarely seen in China. In total, there were only twenty thousand people.
"Yes." Jiufang Nian Lan nodded.
The main reason she has two surnames is because her current surname was given to her by her adoptive parents. Her original surname came from your family, and from Mister Jiufang. Xu Taiping said.
Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Lin Qiu Ling's expression changed slightly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Did you have a girl more than thirty years ago?" Xu Taiping asked.
"No, that's not it!" Lin Qiu Ling shook her head.
Auntie Lin, you don't have to be afraid, we actually don't have any other thoughts, it's just that my wife purely wants to come over to see you, we're not looking for anything from you, we can even provide as much help as we can if you need, we just want to find the root of my wife, that's all! Xu Taiping said seriously.
"I finally understand!" At the side, Jiufang Wenqiang said in realization, "Are you here to find a wife?" You mean, your wife was actually born to my mother? "
"Don't say anything, shut up!" Lin Qiu Ling glared at Jiufang Wenqiang and said.
"That's what you mean!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded, sincerely saying, "We searched for a long time, and finally found this place. Auntie Lin, in order to be able to see you, my wife suffered a lot, and paid a lot, she didn't resent you for throwing her away when she was young, and now that she has found you, she doesn't want you to do anything, she just simply wants to marry her, that's all."
Lin Qiu Ling looked at Jiufang Nian Lan and frowned.
Jiufang Nian Lan also looked at Lin Qiu Ling, not saying a word.
Xu Taiping thought that his family meeting scene would be very touching, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"I've never had a daughter before. I only have two sons in my entire life. This woman has nothing to do with me. You can leave." Lin Qiu Ling suddenly waved her hand and said.
"I checked. Thirty-two years ago, you gave birth to me at the county hospital." Jiufang Nian Lan said.
"No, no. Why are you so weird? Do I not know if I have children or not?" "If I say there's no more, then there's no more. You two better hurry up and leave, we don't welcome you at home!" Lin Qiu Ling said loudly.
"Auntie Lin, don't be angry. Yu Xin just wants to find her biological parents. She doesn't have any other requests, really!" Xu Taiping said.
"Are you all bored? If that happens, I'll call the police! " Lin Qiu Ling said as she took out her cell phone.
"Auntie Lin, don't …" Xu Taiping was about to stop Lin Qiu Ling from making a phone call, but at that moment, a trembling figure walked out from a nearby room.
"Are you really my daughter?" That trembling figure looked at Jiufang Nian Lan and asked weakly.
"Yes." Jiufang Nian Lan looked at his opponent and earnestly nodded his head.
