Chapter 213 The Truth Hidden in the Fog!
The woman appeared to be in her early fifties.
Round face.
She has big eyes, fair skin, and a black mole under the corner of her right eye. She wears heavy makeup and is dressed in designer brands. Although she is carrying a bag worth more than 20,000 yuan, she gives off a cheap feeling. She looks just like a coal mine owner who has become rich overnight but hasn't caught up yet.
Most importantly, seeing her was like seeing Sister Mei stepping out of the photo for Jiang Ning.
Mei Jie is alive.
Correct.
It's Anita Mui!
Although Anita Mui's photo was a bit blurry, her facial features were still clearly visible.
Although she was shocked, Jiang Ning did not show it. She remained calm and handed the items to the middle-aged woman as if nothing had happened.
The middle-aged woman took the items and said with a smile, "Thank you, young lady."
"You're welcome."
The middle-aged woman didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Jiang Ning watched her retreating figure, a deep look in his eyes.
The middle-aged woman had just dropped something on the ground, including a plane ticket.
Jiang Ning hadn't paid attention to the information on the ticket until she saw the other person's face, at which point she took a closer look.
The ticket showed that the middle-aged woman's name was Rong Xiaoju.
Destination country: P.
Then.
Is Rong Xiaoju the same person as Sister Mei who has been missing for many years?
Was her disappearance related to her parents' accident?
Jiang Ning really wanted to rush up to Rong Xiaoju and ask her all her questions, but she knew she couldn't alert her yet.
She had to endure it.
We have to pretend we know nothing.
Only in this way can the truth come to light.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, took out her phone, and typed three words in the memo app.
Rong Xiaoju.
ten minutes later.
Jiang Ning boarded the plane.
The flight time is two hours in total.
To surprise her grandfather, Jiang Ning did not inform the old man in advance. After getting off the plane, Jiang Ning immediately called Madam Shi to let her know that she had arrived safely.
Afterwards, I took a taxi back to Wancheng Villa.
Although Grandpa Jiang is now the owner of a property management company, he still wears a green vest and picks up trash in the community in his spare time, just like before.
Apart from long-time employees, almost no one knew his true identity.
As soon as Jiang Ning returned to the community, she saw Grandpa Jiang picking up trash by the roadside.
"grandfather."
Jiang Ning spoke with a smile.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Grandpa Jiang thought he was hallucinating.
He must have misheard. His granddaughter is currently far away in Beijing, and he has made an agreement with Jiang Ning that she will only come back during holidays or festivals.
Now that it's not a holiday, my granddaughter definitely won't come back.
He must be missing his granddaughter so much that he's having auditory hallucinations.
It wasn't until Jiang Ning called out "Grandpa" again that Old Master Jiang's expression changed, and he looked up in their direction.
Upon seeing this, Grandpa Jiang's eyes even turned slightly red.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Ning Ning!"
He... he really didn't see wrong?
My granddaughter has come back!
Perhaps no one can understand Grandpa Jiang's feelings at this moment.
He was very happy, extremely happy.
I'm even happier than if I won five million in the lottery.
"Grandpa!" Jiang Ning ran over and hugged Grandpa Jiang.
"Ningning," Grandpa Jiang hugged Jiang Ning, "Why are you back?"
“I came back to see you,” Jiang Ning said, looking at Grandpa Jiang. “Grandpa, do you not want me to come back?”
"Of course not! Grandpa is so happy to see you back." Grandpa Jiang wiped away his tears and took the suitcase from Jiang Ning's hand: "Come on, let's go home. Grandpa will cook your favorite hand-pulled noodles for you."
“Okay,” Jiang Ning nodded slightly, “I’ve been wanting to eat Grandpa’s hand-pulled noodles for a long time.”
The grandmother and grandson chatted and laughed as they went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Grandpa Jiang took off his vest, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen to make hand-pulled noodles for his granddaughter.
Jiang Ning then went inside to chat with the old man.
Although the grandmother and grandson video chat almost every day, they still have so much to talk about when they meet in person.
An hour later, Grandpa Jiang had prepared two large bowls of fragrant hand-pulled noodles.
Jiang Ning was also hungry, so she couldn't wait to take a bite.
Grandpa Jiang immediately asked, "Ningning, is it delicious? Has Grandpa's cooking improved?"
"Delicious, so delicious!" Jiang Ning said with a smile, "Grandpa, your hand-pulled noodles are the best in the world!"
Although Jiang Ning always praised Grandpa Jiang in this way, Grandpa Jiang was always very happy to be praised.
Grandpa Jiang put the peeled eggs into his granddaughter's bowl. "Ningning, if you like them, eat more. There are more in the pot if you're not full."
"Ok."
Grandpa Jiang continued, "By the way, Ningning, while you were away, Sanyue often came to visit me. That child is a good friend, remember to get along well with her."
Jiang Ning was also very surprised, and felt a warm feeling in her heart: "She never told me about this."
She and Yue Qianlan kept in touch every day and talked about everything, but Yue Qianlan never mentioned that she had come to see Grandpa Jiang.
After dinner, Jiang Ning accompanied Grandpa Jiang for a walk in the park.
The temperature in City A is about 10 degrees Celsius higher than in Beijing.
Now you only need to wear a single layer of clothing.
Jiang Ning was wearing a pink sweater. The pink color was delicate and complemented her skin tone. Jiang Ning already looked much younger than her actual age, and at this moment she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old.
Along the way, Grandpa Jiang encountered many acquaintances, and he proudly said, "Yes, yes, this is my granddaughter!"
Jiang Ning also greeted Grandpa Jiang's friends very politely.
"Old Jiang, how old is your granddaughter this year?"
“20 years old,” Grandpa Jiang replied.
"20?" The other person's eyes lit up. "Tsk, I really didn't realize you were such a pretty girl. How about I introduce you to someone?"
The person speaking is named Li Cuiping. She met Grandpa Jiang while practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Before Grandpa Jiang could speak, Li Cuiping continued, "My grandson is 29 years old this year, a tall man of 1.63 meters, and extremely handsome. He's only 6 years older than your granddaughter, has a master's degree, and now works in a state-owned enterprise. He's even a leader in his company!"
As she said this, Li Cuiping's face was full of pride.
Her grandson is not only highly educated and has a good job, but he is also tall and handsome. He is sought after wherever he goes. However, because he is too good, he is too picky. Over the years, he has dated many girls, but none of them have caught his eye. Li Cuiping is eager to have her great-grandson. As soon as she saw Jiang Ning, she knew that her grandson would definitely like this type.
In Li Cuiping's view, Jiang Ning would definitely take a liking to her grandson, after all, her grandson's conditions are so outstanding, one in a million.
So all we have to do now is wait for Jiang Ning to nod in agreement.
Li Cuiping took out her phone and said, "Young lady, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll give you my grandson's WeChat ID; you can add him directly."
In blind dates, it is usually the man who takes the initiative to add the woman as a contact.
But since her grandson is so well-off, she definitely can't take the initiative to add Jiang Ning on WeChat. So, she has to get Jiang Ning to add her grandson on WeChat.
Otherwise, wouldn't her grandson be paying for her?
"No, no, thank you for your kindness, Sister Li," Grandpa Jiang quickly declined, "but my granddaughter is still in school, so there's no rush to find her a partner."
Upon hearing this, Li Cuiping's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Her grandson has such good qualities, how could he be rejected?
Are you okay?
Is Old Man Jiang alright?
Li Cuiping continued, "Old Jiang, did you not hear me clearly? My grandson is a master's student! And he's a high-ranking leader in a state-owned enterprise. Are you sure you don't want your granddaughter to add my grandson on WeChat?"
"Do you know that some young girls can't even add my grandson on WeChat?"
She took the initiative to give Grandpa Jiang face today, but to her surprise, he didn't accept it.
What is he doing?
Do they look down on their own grandson?
Although Jiang Ning is quite pretty, her other qualities are just average. She should be grateful if she can meet a man as good as her grandson!
But she's really something!
He actually didn't appreciate it.
The more Li Cuiping thought about it, the more resentful she felt.
Grandpa Jiang maintained his smiling demeanor and politely declined, saying, "I know your grandson is a good catch, but my granddaughter is too young and doesn't want to date right now."
Is 20 years old still too young?
She's clearly just using her good looks to try and marry someone better!
Pooh!
Shameless gold digger.
Do you really think marrying into a wealthy family is so easy?
Li Cuiping despises those who don't know how to work hard and only want to climb the social ladder.
Li Cuiping sneered inwardly and said sarcastically, "Alright, Old Jiang, I was just saying that, don't take it to heart. Actually, my grandson might not even be interested in a girl like your granddaughter!"
With her grandson being so eligible, what kind of girl couldn't he find?
Someone like Jiang Ning could marry ten or twenty women without any problem, let alone one.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jiang instantly became furious. He turned to look at Li Cuiping and said, "Li Cuiping! Your grandson isn't even as tall as my granddaughter when he jumps. He's not even qualified to carry my granddaughter's bag when we go out! How dare you say such a thing!"
After saying that, Grandpa Jiang took Jiang Ning's hand and said, "Ningning, let's go. Don't pay attention to such rude people."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded slightly, followed in Grandpa Jiang's footsteps, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I didn't expect your combat power to be so high!"
In her memory, Grandpa Jiang had always been a very good-tempered person who never got angry with anyone.
Available today.
Jiang Ning saw a different side of Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Grandpa didn't scare you just now, did he?"
"No." Jiang Ning shook her head.
Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

Beijing.
Inside the hospital.
Xu Ruoying opened her eyes with some difficulty.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Mrs. Xu immediately went over and asked with concern, "Ruoying, are you alright?"
“It’s okay,” Xu Ruoying said, gripping Mrs. Xu’s hand tightly. “Mom, I think I had a really scary nightmare! In the dream, I was bitten by a mountain beetle, which not only disfigured me but also blinded me. Waaah, that dream was so terrifying!”
