Second marriage itch

Chapter 298 Xu Yafei (8)

Xu Yafei and Yu Qian searched around the restaurant for a long time but found no one, so they asked passers-by and the owners of several nearby shops.

When it comes to the unkempt Chinese old man, they all have the impression that he has been in this area for a long time.Someone once cared about him and asked him, and they all knew that he was looking for his son.But he was a little mentally disturbed, he couldn't say his son's name, and he didn't know where his son was, but someone had seen the photo in his hand, which was a Chinese boy about ten years old.

I couldn't find anyone, so I had to give up.

Xu Yafei sent Yu Qian back to his residence. On the way, he was very silent.

"Do you know that old man?" She couldn't help asking.

After a while, Xu Yafei said, "I don't know."

But Yu Qian believed in her intuition. Xu Yafei's reaction after seeing the old man was unusual, at least not like a reaction to a stranger.Moreover, he was always warm-hearted, but his attitude towards the poor old man was abnormally indifferent today.

But what would he have to do with the old man?If there was a connection, why would he deny that he knew him?She doesn't know any of this.

After sending Yu Qian to her residence, Xu Yafei left.

Back at the apartment, Yu Qian had just taken a shower and lay down when she received a call from Xue Li.

"Sorry, I haven't had time to talk about work yet."

Before Xue Li could speak first, Yu Qian admitted her mistake.

She has always been serious about her work, and she never thinks that it makes any difference if her boss is her younger brother.

Unexpectedly, Xue Li said that he was not in a hurry, and asked her if she had seen Xu Yafei.

She said she saw it, and Xue Li laughed.

"That's good, don't worry, have fun first, have fun, and talk about work after you have had enough fun."

In fact, Yu Qian knew in her heart that Xue Li had other intentions in sending her here.But she has always clearly distinguished between public and private, and she is definitely calm and sensible enough in her work.

"Your sister is not such an unreliable person in handling things, don't worry, I will go and take care of this first tomorrow."

Xue Li said, "Sister, I hope you are happy, nothing is as important as your happiness."

Yu Qian was a little moved.

Xue Li rarely said such emotional words in front of her. Although she always knew that he cared about her sister, he never expressed it directly.

Now he knows how to express more and more, which shows that he has really grown up and understands the value of family affection.

The next morning, she took the materials she had prepared and went out, planning to negotiate the contract first.It was the first thing she did when she came to Los Angeles.

Passing by the flyover where she met the old man last night, she remembered the old man who was struggling to find her son, so she couldn't help but stop.

Under the overpass, there were two or three beggars in shabby clothes, but the old man was not there.

Where can he find his son?Given his mental state, when will he be able to find his son?

Withdrawing her gaze and turning her head, Yu Qian suddenly found that the old man was sitting on the steps of the overpass, staring eagerly at the people passing by one after another.

He was around fifty at most, but his eyes seemed to have been through vicissitudes of life, and they were as cloudy as an old man who was seven or eighty years old.

Yu Qian walked over, squatted in front of him, and asked him, "Old man, have you found your son?"

The old man just shook his head, rubbing his hands together, looking sad and helpless.

Yu Qian felt that he was really pitiful, and asked again, "Old man, do you remember me? We met last night."

The old man looked at Yu Qian with blank eyes, wondering whether he remembered or not.

"Old man, I heard that you have been looking for it for a long time. If you continue to search like this, when will you find it? Maybe your son is really not here anymore?"

Hearing what Yu Qian said, the old man shook his head even faster.

"No, my son is here, my son is promising, he is here."

Yu Qian knew that it was unreasonable to tell him, but she was worried that he would go on searching blindly like this alone. Given his current mental state, something might happen to him.

"Old man, I am a Chinese just like you. If you believe me, how about I help you find your son together in the future?"

The old man blinked twice, feeling a little excited.

"Really? You want to help me find my son?"

Yu Qian smiled and nodded, "Really, but this matter can't be rushed. I'll find a place to settle you down first, and we'll find it slowly, okay?"

The old man struggled for a while, and finally nodded and agreed.

Yu Qian took him back to the apartment. There was a single room next door to the apartment she lived in. She found the landlord and rented the house next door to the old man.

She bought some new clothes and daily necessities for the old man, and asked the old man to take a bath and put them on. Fortunately, the old man had no problem taking a bath by himself.

While the old man was taking a bath, Yu Qian started cooking.

After the old man took a bath and changed his clothes, Yu Qian's meal was ready.

She arranged the food and stared at the old man for a long time.

She found that after the old man washed his face and put on clean clothes, he completely changed himself.He is actually an old man with good features. He should have been handsome when he was young.

She served rice for the old man, and while watching the old man eating, she asked, "Old man, do you remember what your son looks like?"

Mentioning his son, the old man stopped eating, and his eyes and expression softened a lot.

"My son, he's good-looking, so tall, with such big eyes, and he smiles like this."

The old man put down his chopsticks and gestured while talking.

After hearing this, Yu Qian was still confused. She still didn't know what his son looked like, so she could only smile awkwardly.

"I see. You should eat first. Only when you are full will we have the strength to look for it."

After the old man finished eating, she washed the dishes, and then planned to take out the pile of clothes that the old man had changed, because it was too worn out and dirty, and it was no longer worth washing.

She let the old man take a nap for a while, and then went out with the clothes in her hands. Before she could go out the door, something suddenly fell out of the clothes in her hands.

She looked down and saw a photo.

She picked it up in surprise, looked carefully, and was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the photo of the old man's son had been in his clothes all the time, and he hadn't lost it, but the old man was mentally disturbed, probably forgot where he put himself, and became anxious when he couldn't find it, and there was the scene they saw last night.

Looking at the old man again, he didn't listen to her and lay down on the bed to sleep, but stood by the window and looked outside, his eyes showed the longing, longing, and sadness again.

The family love that blood is thicker than water is rooted in his soul, so even though he is insane and forgets a lot of things, he never forgets the concern for his son.

She did not return the photo to the old man, but temporarily put it away.

Putting down the clothes in her hands again, she made the old man's bed and let him go to bed for a while.

She didn't know how long he had been sleeping in the open. According to other people, he had been looking for his son for a long time, so many people around here knew him.He must have had a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed for a long time.

Seeing the old man close her eyes, Yu Qian left the room, picked up the contract again and went out.

Go to the company that wants to discuss cooperation, find the person in charge of the company, and she negotiated the contract smoothly.

After coming out of the company, she stood by the side of the road and called Xu Yafei.

When she told him that she had taken in the old man, there was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked him.

"It's nothing, I just think you are too kind." Xu Yafei's tone was flat.

Yu Qian said that she was very happy that the contract was negotiated today, and she was going to buy some vegetables to cook a sumptuous dinner to celebrate, and invited him to come with her.

She was afraid that he would refuse, but luckily he only thought about it briefly, so he agreed.

After buying vegetables in the supermarket, Xu Yafei had been waiting for her outside the supermarket for a while.

They walked all the way back to the apartment. After Yu Qian put down the dishes, she led Xu Yafei to the old man's room.

The old man had already woken up. He was sitting on the head of the bed with dull eyes, probably thinking about his son again.

The old man who has cleaned up is very different from yesterday.

Yu Qian had already walked in, but Xu Yafei stopped at the door, staring at the old man on the bed for a long time.

Yu Qian took the old man into her apartment, let him sit on the sofa, and then prepared to cook.

Halfway through cooking, she took out a bag of apples bought in the supermarket and handed Xu Yafei a small knife to peel the apples for the old man to eat.

Xu Yafei stood with the knife for a long time before sitting down and took out an apple to peel.

After Yu Qian washed the dishes, she put the soup ingredients into the pot, walked to the kitchen door and took a look,
In the living room, the old man was sitting silently, and Xu Yafei was sitting not far away, peeling an apple silently. The two of them seemed to have no communication.

When eating, the old man looked at the dishes on the table, and he didn't gobble it up like he did last night.

He didn't rush to move his chopsticks, but looked at the fish soup on the table, the corners of his lips raised.

"My son loves fish the most."

At this moment, his face exudes the soft light of fatherly love, and even his son remembers eating fish the most. At this moment, he does not look like an old man who is insane.

Yu Qian looked at Xu Yafei, his extended chopsticks froze in the air, as if touched.

But the old man became sad again in a blink of an eye.

"Son, my son, where are you?"

Yu Qian sighed, took some food for the old man, and persuaded, "Don't worry, I promised to help you find your son. Trust me, I will help you find your son."

It was originally a table of sumptuous food, full of color, fragrance and taste, but for some reason, it was very unpleasant to eat.

After eating, Yu Qian washed the dishes and took the old man back to his room to settle down.

It was already dark, Xu Yafei said he was going to leave.

She obviously wanted to say a lot, but at this moment, Yu Qian felt her throat was stuck by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

Hearing his footsteps getting farther and farther away, and the sound of the elevator opening and closing, Yu Qian hesitated for a few seconds and chased him out.
