My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 392

Chapter 392: Then Start Checking From T City

The grandmother took the amulet from Ning Qing and lifted her gaze to look at Ning Qing.

She had a small, palm-sized face and a pair of clear sparkling large eyes. Her small lips were cute and cherry-like… This girl was really beautiful.

The grandmother looked at Ning Qing in a daze. She suddenly thought, if her Little Dou Dou was still around, what would little Dou Dou look like when she grew up?

Little Dou Dou was 48 years old this year. Has she married and given birth to kids already?

Was little Dou Dou living well?

The tears in Grandma’s eyes trickled down immediately. Her health has declined over the past two years. Even though the doctor did not say anything, she knew that her end was coming soon because she was already unable to shed any more tears.

She cried for a whole 40 years, and her tears felt as if they had dried up already.

But she was crying now. She did not know why, but when she looked at the girl before her eyes right now, she only felt like tearing up.

Ning Qing noticed that the grandma was crying. She was immediately flustered. She stretched her small hand out to wipe the tears off the grandma, and comforted her with a gentle tone. “Grandma, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? The amulet is not dirty or spoiled. It is all fine; you don’t have to be sad and upset.”

The girl’s small hand caressed her face. She felt that it was soft and tiny. It made her feel comfortable, and the grandma held her tears. Her eyes were red as she looked benevolently at Ning Qing, “Young lady, you are right, the amulet is not dirty or spoiled. This proves that my Dou Dou is safe and blissful, even though she is not by my side, as long as she is living well, it is all good…”

“Dou Dou?” Ning Qing was curious. “Grandma, who is Dou Dou?”

The grandma held Ning Qing’s small hand, then said, “Dou Dou is Grandma’s precious daughter, but unfortunately, when she was eight years old, she went missing.”

“Ah?” Ning Qing felt deeply sympathetic, and she comforted the grandma saying, “Grandma, where did your daughter get lost? Did you not go and search for her throughout these years?”

“Our Dou Dou got lost in America. That day, she said that she was going shopping with a classmate. I asked someone to follow her, but… she just disappeared like that… These 40 years, I have almost overturned every stone in America, but I just cannot find her…” As she spoke, the grandma wept.

Ning Qing felt bad inside her heart. She took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the tears from the old lady’s face once again. “Grandma, is this the amulet that you prayed for your daughter Dou Dou with? The amulet is around, so she must be around. Dou Dou must be living very well right now.”

Grandma looked at the amulet in her hands, “I prayed for this amulet in the temple, one amulet is broken into two. Half is in my hands, and the other half is in Dou Dou’s hands. She always wore it on her neck. I don’t know if Dou Dou still has the amulet in her hands now, but this is an item that we can use to identify each other.”

Ning Qing looked at the amulet carefully before she said, ” Grandma, Dou Dou got lost in America. Were you looking for her only in America solely throughout these years? Didn’t you come back to the country to look for her? She might have been funneled by human traffickers into China.”

“This…” The grandma was completely shaken.

This girl had reminded her of a very important point. Because Dou Dou had disappeared in America, she had insisted that she would not leave America, and had always hoped that there would be a day when she would be able to find Dou Dou.

But, what if Dou Dou was trafficked back to the country?

Ning Qing noticed the old lady was in a daze. The senior in her 70s seemed not to have a clear state of mind. She looked at her surroundings, wanting to search for Grandma’s family members.

“Old Madam.” Two bodyguards ran over from a distance away.

Ning Qing had a look. They were probably the grandma’s bodyguards.

She wanted to say something, but at this moment, the sound of her phone rang out in the air. She answered the call. It was Xiao Zhou. There were some important matters for her to handle from the studio.

Ning Qing stood up. “Grandma, don’t cry anymore, for the sake of Dou Dou. Mothers and daughters are connected with their hearts. Grandma, you should also thank care of your health. Grandma, I have other matters to attend to. I have to go.”

The grandma looked at the bruised skin on Ning Qing’s thigh. “Young girl, don’t be in a hurry to leave, I will ask someone to bandage it up for you. Your thigh is bleeding.”

“There is no need for that, Grandma. It’s a minor injury; it doesn’t matter.”

“That won’t do, young girl. Why don’t you leave your phone number behind with me? Not only did you help me to pick the amulet up, you also got hurt because of me. I definitely have to give you compensation.”

Compensation?

Ning Qing would not want to accept compensation.

But, when she looked at the grandma’s behavior, it seemed that she would not let her leave if she did not leave her phone number behind. Ning Qing was at a loss. She could only take her pen out from her bag. She took out a piece of paper, wrote her own phone number, and sweetly said, “Grandma, this is my phone number. I don’t need compensation. I would get upset if you tried. But Grandma can give me a call when you have time. I am very happy to chat with Grandma.”

The grandma heard her words and immediately had a smile on her frail face. This girl was really a good child. It would be so great if she were her granddaughter.

The Grandma nodded her head and said, “Okay.”

Ning Qing stood up and waved her hand, then started to walk away.

The grandma did not move. She sat in the wheelchair as sent Ning Qing off with her gaze.

…

This entire scene was observed by Zhou Zhilei who stood at the doors of the main hall. She actually came to search for Grandma, and when she came out, she saw Grandma and Ning Qing chatting happily with one another.

When did Grandma meet Ning Qing?

Grandma actually smiled at Ning Qing.

Zhou Zhilei was jealous and full of hatred. Ever since she was born, Grandma has not smiled at her even once. Ever since she started to have a memory, Grandma never cried, and she did not smile once throughout these 40 years.

She thought that Grandma did not know how to smile, but Grandma was actually smiling at Ning Qing.

What magic power did Ning Qing possess, exactly?

Zhou Zhilei stewed with bitterness. At this moment, she saw Zhou Heng emerge from another door in her peripheral vision, and he walked towards Grandma.

Zhou Zhilei laughed coldly. Her grandfather really liked her grandma very deeply.

Her grandfather obviously could have more descendants.

When Dou Dou disappeared, Grandpa was only in his 40s. Grandma was unable to give birth anymore. Grandpa could have definitely looked for a young and beautiful woman to produce a bunch of kids, but sadly, Grandpa did not do so. He was loyal in his love, and for his entire life, he is eyes were on one woman.

Zhou Zhilei felt comfortable inside her heart. Grandma was on the brink of death. Once Grandma passed away, Grandpa’s days were numbered.

In the future, the entire Zhou family winery would belong to her.

Zhou Zhilei quickly came forward. She snatched Zhou Heng’s place before he reached the side of Grandma’s wheelchair. She took a wool blanket in her hands and covered it over grandma’s thighs. Softly and gently, she said, “Grandma you are here? Zhilei has not seen grandma for such a long time since I returned to T City. Zhilei misses Grandma.”

Grandma glanced at Zhou Zhilei, and her expression was cold as she did not say a single word.

As if she did not see her at all.

Zhou Zhilei was accustomed to this. This grandma of hers did not like her and her parents, and it was very apparent on her face.

At this moment, Zhou Heng walked over. He pushed the wheelchair and said, “Xiao Hui, the wind is fierce over here. Let’s go back home.”

Grandma nodded her head and said, “Sure, let’s go home then… Dou Dou’s father, just now I met a young girl. She looked extremely beautiful, Dou Dou’s amulet was blown away by the wind, and that young girl found it and gave it back to me.”

Zhou Zhilei followed behind Zhou Heng, and she naturally heard this conversation very clearly, and her heart tightened.

She was afraid that Ning Qing would really have some relations with the Zhou family, gaining Grandma and Grandpa’s favor.

She did not want to have new problems pop up unexpectedly.

Zhou Heng smiled warmly while he said, “Oh, is that right? Where did that young girl come from? She has made you happy. If you like her, I can invite her to come and accompany you.”

“I don’t want to. Asking a young girl to accompany an old lady like me, it would be extremely boring.” As she spoke, Grandma waved the paper in her hand. “This is the young girl’s phone number. I can give her a call.”

“Okay.” Zhou Heng nodded his head. “If there is anything you want, just let me know.”

He was the world famous king of wineries, no matter what he wanted, it was a piece of cake to attain.

Zhou Zhilei looked at the strand of numbers. A sinister glow flashed in her eyes.

“Oh right, Dou Dou’s father, I suddenly thought of something. Dou Dou might have possibly been trafficked into the country. Send someone immediately to investigate. Check all the entry records of the past 40 years, and sift out the suspicious ones immediately.”

Zhou Heng froze and used one hand to pat her shoulder. “Xiao Hui, 40 years have passed. I am afraid that we cannot find Dou Dou anymore, furthermore, China is so big, where are we going to start looking? Your health is not good. Just don’t…”

Grandma heard his words, and her expressions changed immediately. “Dou Dou’s father, what do you mean by this? As long as I live another day, I will not give up looking for Dou Dou. Dou Dou is your only daughter. She is your flesh and blood! How can you allow her to be missing?”

Grandma was emotionally affected, and she started to cough.

Zhou Heng stopped immediately and patted her back for her. He conceded and said, “Okay okay, don’t be angry. I will listen to you. We will look for Dou Dou in the country, but Xiao Hui, where do you plan to start looking?”

Grandma stopped coughing. She pointed to the ground beneath her, “Since we have arrived in T City, we should start investigating from T City then.”

Zhou Zhilei looked at the two seniors with a cold expression. Let the both of two blindly torture themselves, then, she thought to herself.

They’ve searched for 40 years and still could not find her. They could find her in T City just like that.

“Xiao Hui, your face is too pale now. After we go back, I will make a call to Dayuan. I will ask him to do a body checkup for you.”

“Okay, talking about this child Dayuan, I have not seen him for such a long time. Dayuan has not even come home these past few years. It makes my heart ache so much. I don’t know how those two have sinned. Their hearts are so cold. They don’t even want such a good child.”

Zhou Zhilei listened on and felt it was hilarious. Grandma looked down on her, looked down on her parents, but Grandma liked her older brother Zhou Dayuan very much. She treated Zhou Dayuan just like her own grandson.

She also heard Grandma say emotionally and very frequently, Dayuan was an outlier. He did not like to brew wine…

Zhou Zhilei clearly understood what Grandma was trying to convey. Grandma was trying to say that Grandma wanted the successor of the winery to be Zhou Dayuan, and in the future, she would feel at ease to hand the Zhou family over to Zhou Dayuan!

It was only a pity that Zhou Dayuan only liked to study medicine.

Zhou Zhilei held her fists tight. Just wait, everything in the Zhou family would belong to her.

Nobody could snatch it away.

…

Ning Qing returned to the car. She got on her phone to handle a few matters involving the studio. She lifted her hand to look at her watch. It was nearing noon, she started the car and set off.

She went to Guang Qing.

After coming to the door of the president’s office in Guang Qing, Zhu Rui helped her open the door of the office. Ning Qing shushed him for a moment, meaning — Don’t.

Zhu Rui left, and Ning Qing stood at the side of the door.

The door of the office was not closed tight. He has left a gap in the door. She looked through the gap. Lu Shaoming was sitting on the sofa. He wore a black shirt, matched with a pair of black trousers. His firm, handsome face was just like a piece of jade.

His long legs were crossed elegantly over one another. His muscular arms were spread out. That small, soft bundle was sitting obediently after getting chided by his daddy. There was a beautiful woman with a delicate aura holding onto an exquisite porcelain spoon, and she used the spoon to feed him fruit.

He ate fruit before a meal; this was Daddy’s rule.
