Chapter: 5510

As she spoke, she quickly opened the big door.

Du Haiqing initially didn't understand why Auntie had come to see her, but soon realized that Auntie's purpose should have nothing to do with her, and combined with what Ye Chen had previously instructed her on, she immediately concluded that Auntie had come here to look for a clue related to Ye Chen."

Auntie and An Chongqiu thanked Du Haiqing and followed her inside. At this moment, Su Zhify was just coming out from the inner gate and saw an old person and a middle-aged person entering the courtyard, feeling somewhat puzzled.

At that time, Du Haiqing quickly introduced them to the two people, saying: "Let me introduce you, this is my daughter Su Zhify, Zhify, this is Mrs. An from America, and Uncle An."

"Mrs. An......" Su Zhify spoke unintentionally: "Isn't that Ye..."

She originally wanted to say that wasn't Mrs. Ye, grandmother-in-law of Mr. Ye, but her words were stuck in her mouth as she suddenly felt startled, realizing she was about to reveal Ye Chen's secret. So she quickly said without leaving a trace: "Isn't that Mr. Ye's mother-in-law?"

Mrs. An asked curiously: "Miss Su also knows Longqing?"

Su Zhiyu quickly waved her hand: "Mrs. An, you're misunderstanding me. I don't know Mr. Ye, it's just what someone told me before and my mom mentioned some things after she moved here."

"It turns out this way..." Mrs. An nodded lightly, with no further suspicion. After all, she had looked into Du Haiqing's past with Longqing before coming, and knew that Du Haiqing had been obsessed with Longqing for so many years, even risking his life.

However, being a guest in Du Haiqing's home felt awkward to some extent. The woman standing in front of her, who was both gentle and intelligent, was actually an emotional rival of her daughter's, and she had lost to her daughter's hands.

In reality, Du Haiqing was also very awkward inside.

She had loved Longqing for so many years, without thinking that one day, Longqing's mother would come knocking on the door.

To ease the strange atmosphere, she told Su Zhiyu: "Zhiyu, aren't you supposed to go to school? It's not too early. Go quickly."

Su Zhiyu nodded and politely said to Mrs. An and An Chongqiu: "Mrs. An, Uncle An, you two can chat with my mom slowly. I have something to attend to, so I'll excuse myself first."

The two naturally exchanged polite phrases, waiting for Su Zhiyu to leave before entering the inner gate of this old mansion under Du Haiqing's invitation.

As she entered the room, Mrs. Du Haiqing saw that the interior decoration style was similar to what it had been 20 years ago, reminding her of her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren who used to live here. Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions as tears began to stream down her face unintentionally.

She quickly turned away to wipe away her tears with her sleeve, then smiled at Du Haiqing and said, "Du Haiqing, please don't mind me saying this, but it's been my first time coming here in many years. Thank you for taking care of this place so well!"

Du Haiqing hurriedly said, "Auntie, just call me Haiqing, okay?"

Mrs. Du Haiqing nodded slightly and asked Haiqing, "Haiqing, I'm bold to disturb you, but I want to ask you something."

Haiqing knew what Mrs. Du Haiqing wanted to ask, but still pretended not to understand, saying, "Auntie, what do you want to know?"

Mrs. Du Haiqing sighed and whispered, "After Chongqiu and Su Zhiyu's disappearance, their son has been missing for many years. We've almost searched the entire world, but we never found any leads related to him. I wonder if since you moved in here, you've seen anything suspicious - a young man around 27-28 years old, wandering around this area?"

Haiqing could only lie and said, "Auntie, honestly, I haven't paid attention to that. This is the old city district of Jinling, with a high population density, and the people living here are very diverse. With so many people coming and going every day, it's hard for me to notice anything suspicious."

Mrs. Du Haiqing looked disappointed and said, "That child, Chun'er, has always been emotional since he was young. He's very filial towards his parents... If he were still alive all these years, he would definitely come back to visit..."

Seeing Mrs. Du Haiqing's low spirits, Du Haiqing consoled her with some remorse: "Auntie, I've only been here for a short time myself, and before I moved in, many years have passed since Ye Chongqiu's disappearance. So, you don't need to be too pessimistic."

Mrs. Du Haiqing nodded slightly and sighed: "I don't doubt that Chong'er is still alive; it's just that the clues related to him are too few and far between... Each clue broken off means one less..." JrNovels.com
