A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 10 The Old Woman with Amnesia

He had heard that there were many womanizers outside, and his daughter Jiaojiao was so beautiful that it wouldn't be easy for those unscrupulous womanizers to target her.

The old man didn't look at Yun's father, but stared at Yun Jiao.

"My sweet girl, Mommy bought you your favorite hair tie. Come here and Mommy will tie it up for you and make your hair into the prettiest braids."

Yun's father scratched his head, feeling that something was off about the old lady.
Yun Jiao tugged at her father's hand: "Father, this old woman is hungry."

Yun's father looked at the bun that was only half full in his daughter's hand, and then at the one in the old woman's hand.

Although it hurt to part with the money, it was also quite pitiful to see that the old lady seemed to have forgotten things.

But how could she mistake his daughter for Jiaojiao? She's so old!

"Grandma, eat something."

The old man smiled kindly as he listened to the little girl's soft, sweet voice, his eyes filled with affection.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat."

“But my dear, why are you calling me Grandma? You should call me Mother.”

This is clearly a sign of mental instability.

Yun's father scratched his head, looked around and asked around, but no one recognized the old woman.

"What's going on?"

He knew a little about the old woman's situation; there used to be elderly people like that in their village, who couldn't recognize people or remember things.

Later, it got lost and went to the beach, where it was swept away by the sea.

"Come here, my sweet girl, let me braid your hair."

Yun Jiao glanced at her father.

Yun's father nodded to her: "Go ahead, let's wait here and see if her family comes looking for us."

If they don't come, then we'll have to send them to the police station.

Yun Jiao and the old woman sat down on the stone steps not far from the steamed bun shop.

Yun's father even asked the bun seller for two pieces of waste newspaper to spread on the ground before letting them sit down.

Uncle Yun brought over another bowl of water: "Here, Auntie, have some water."

"thanks, thanks."

After eating half a steamed bun and drinking some water, she even took a piece of paper from her pocket and wiped her hands clean.

Then she carefully combed Yun Jiao's hair, using her hands instead of a comb.

Yun Jiao has very good hair quality; it's black, thick, and incredibly smooth.

At only three years old, she has long hair that reaches her back, which is perfect for her grandmother to style.

Her movements were very gentle, and she even hummed an old children's song.

After hearing her sing it once, Yun Jiao started humming along while munching on her steamed bun.

Her humming was even more beautiful, innocent and clear. Father Yun thought his daughter's humming was really lovely.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the elderly person's parents were getting anxious and stressed because they couldn't find anyone.

"County Magistrate, the County Magistrate has been found..."

When the others arrived, the county magistrate, who was in his thirties, heard his mother humming a familiar children's song and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Mom, Mom, what are you doing here? I almost couldn't find you."

The middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit hugged the old man tightly.

The old man looked up, his cloudy eyes meeting his: "Who are you?"

"It's me, Jianlin."

Yun Jiao also opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at the newcomer with curiosity.

The old man, his wrinkled, rough hands stroking his son's face, his voice trembling.

"Jianlin, you look so old. Your sister is still so young."

As she spoke, she grabbed Yun Jiao's small hand: "Look, I've found your sister! The little girl has been found, she's back."

Wang Jianlin glanced at Yun Jiao, and felt a deep sorrow in his heart as he listened to his mother's words.

His younger sister disappeared when she was three years old; she was abducted by kidnappers.

"Okay, we've found my sister."

He glanced apologetically at Yun Jiao and her father, then tried to comfort the old man.

"Shall we go home? Let's go home first." The old man stood up and straightened his clothes. "Okay, let's go home."

Wang Jianlin first handed the person over to his secretary, then turned to Yun Jiao and her father.

"Thank you both for taking care of my mother. She has amnesia and can't remember many things. Thank you for your help."

Father Yun quickly waved his hand: "No trouble at all. We didn't take care of him much, we just gave him a steamed bun."

Wang Jianlin was thinking of having his secretary find out their home address so he could visit them another day to express his gratitude. Right now, the most important thing was to take his elderly mother back home.

But after he had only taken a few steps with his elderly mother in his hand, the old woman turned back to look for Yun Jiao.

"My dear girl, my dear girl, come home with your mother and brother."

"Jianlin, quickly bring your sweet girl home."

Father Yun hugged Yun Jiao tightly. No, you can't take someone else's daughter away!

Wang Jianlin: …………

"Why don't you two come to my house for a visit?"

Wang Jianlin is clearly a filial son and simply cannot bear to refuse any request from his elderly mother.

"No, no, I have to wait for my son."

"Oh? Where is your son?"

Father Yun rubbed his hands together, a very simple smile on his face.

“My two sons want to join the army, so they went for their physical examinations. Since their families can't come with them, I brought my daughter to buy some food.”

Wang Jianlin hesitated for two seconds and said, "How about this, I'll have my... friend go and find out what your two sons' names are, and once they're out, he'll bring them directly to you."

Father Yun: "My sons are named Yun Chendong and Yun Chenxi."

The secretary remembered the two names, and in the end, Yun's father and Yun Jiao still went to Wang Jianlin's house.

Once they arrived, Yun's father belatedly realized how nervous and awkward he had become.

This...this little villa looks so grand.

He was a fisherman living in a small fishing village; he had never seen such a magnificent house before.

Yun's father hesitated as he held his daughter.

"Maybe we shouldn't go in."

Wang Jianlin smiled and said, "Since you're already here, have some food before you leave. I don't know how to thank you enough for taking care of my mother."

Yun's father waved his hand, looking honest and simple: "I didn't take care of him, I didn't take care of him."

He followed them into the small villa in a daze. The members of Wang Jianlin's family were quite simple.

Soon a well-dressed woman appeared, looking shrewd and capable.

"So, has Mom been found?"

Wang Jianlin nodded: "Found her. Thanks to this brother and his daughter for taking care of her, our mother didn't run away."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yun's father looked at the decorations inside the house and regretted coming in even more.

How did he end up coming along?
Yun Jiao held her father's hand, tilting her head in confusion: "Father, are you afraid?"

There's nothing that can eat people here, right?

Yun Jiao didn't have any emotional reaction to this house, which was much better than her own.

Having been a mermaid in her past life, the vastness and richness of the underwater world broadened her horizons. Could anything here compare to the splendor of the underwater world?
Wang Jianlin's wife brought over some fruit, and Yun Jiao's eyes lit up.

The old lady still held Yun Jiao's other hand affectionately and talked to her, rambling on and on, and many of her words were incoherent.

Yun Jiao held some food in her hand and listened patiently to what she was saying, but she didn't understand anything. She just nodded from time to time, pretending to understand.

In the kitchen, Wang Jianlin's wife, Liu Yun, said, "That young girl is really patient. If it were our son, he'd probably be sitting still with thorns growing on his bottom by now. He'd just be thinking about going out to play basketball with his friends."

Wang Jianlin nodded, then sighed as he looked at his elderly mother's happy expression.

"You know, when I was little, my sister got lost. My mom went to the market and promised to buy her a hair tie, but when she came back, she was gone. Our family searched for her for a long time."

My mom cried every day back then, almost went blind from crying. Now she doesn't remember things clearly and mistakes the little girl for my sister. That hair tie... I never imagined she'd still keep it all this time.

Wang Jianlin's eyes reddened when he talked about these things.

Liu Yun comforted him, "Let's find a nanny to take care of Mom. I've wanted to say this for a long time, but Auntie can't take good care of Mom at all."

Thinking about how his mother almost got lost this time, Wang Jianlin nodded: "I'll talk to my aunt about it later."

But the other party might not be so easy to deal with.
