Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 174 I am here

On the way home from school, Shen Sinian, who had heard the gossip and rumors, asked Xu Chuning seriously, "Ningning, don't you like me anymore?"

Xu Chuning: "Don't believe in gossip and rumors."

Shen Sinian blinked and glanced at Shen Yubai who was silent beside him, "So everything you said in the classroom was false?"

Xu Chu Ning thought for a moment and said, "Half and half."

"Ah?" Shen Sinian was shocked. "Then which half is fake, him or me?"

This "he" naturally refers to Shen Yubai.

Xu Chu Ning was helpless and said with a smile, "No one."

Shen Sinian: “Ah?”

Xu Chuning: "I just don't want to discuss this topic with them any more, so I don't want to choose anyone."

Shen Yubai glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Just like that?"

"...What else could it be?" Xu Chuning glanced at him.

Shen Yubai: "..."

He thought that she really didn't want to choose him.

Seeing Shen Yubai's inner thoughts, Xu Chu Ning was slightly speechless, "It's not what you think."

Shen Sinian: "It's OK if it's not."

At this point, he remembered the question on the forum, "Who will you deliver water to during the three-kilometer run next week?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

She glanced at Shen Sinian unhappily, "I can't not send both of us off?"

"No."

The two said in unison.

Xu Chu Ning: "...Then I'll send both of them off, is that okay?"

Shen Yubai: "...Okay."

Shen Sinian: "I think so too."

He chuckled, "I knew Ningning wouldn't forget me."

Shen Yubai glanced at him.

Shen Sinian is not afraid of him. He has Xu Chuning to protect him and does not take Shen Yubai seriously at all.

Xu Chuning was unaware of the conflict between the father and son. She was quickening her pace towards the shop, hoping to get there early to help You Shuzhen.

However, what surprised Xu Chu Ning a little was that there were more people in the shop today than usual.

When Xu Chuning saw Shen Xingyan, Xu Yiming and Sang Menglan were all there, he looked around and asked, "Where's my mom?"

Sang Menglan: "In the back, your two mothers are over there."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, his body stiffened slightly, "Did something happen?"

"I found her." Xu Yiming told her, "Your sister."

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? Did she bring it back?"

Shen Xingyan shook his head, "No."

Xu Chu Ning frowned, "Why? Where is she now?"

Seeing her excitement, Shen Yubai raised his hand and patted her shoulder, whispering: "Don't be nervous yet, they will tell."

Shen Yubai looked at Shen Xingyan: "Dad, she shouldn't be in the orphanage now, right?"

"She's not here." Shen Xingyan told him, and said softly, "Just as you guessed, she was adopted. Her name is Li Xiaonan now."

Based on some clues given by Shen Sinian, they searched for Li Xiaonan across the country.

Compare and verify one by one.

Finally, Li Xiaonan was found.

Li Xiaonan is now living in a small mountain village that is more remote than Pingning Town. It is reported that she was sold there.

Shen Xingyan and his team have not yet fully understood the specific situation.

The family that adopted her was specialized in this kind of business. They picked out good-looking girls from the orphanage and adopted them, raising them for a few years before selling them to remote mountain villages.

In places where information is blocked, it is difficult for some sons to get married and have children.

Therefore, some people came up with this idea.

……

After listening to what Shen Xingyan said, Xu Chu Ning felt horrified and got goose bumps.

She knew that this society was in chaos and that such things happened in places where information was blocked. She had seen them on TV and on the Internet, but she never imagined that such a thing would happen to her.

Shen Yubai raised his hand, helped her sit down aside, and whispered, "Calm down, Aunt You needs you."

Xu Chu Ning raised her eyes, her eyes reddened, "I——"

"If they find it, they will bring the person back soon." Shen Yubai comforted her, "You have to believe them."

They were referring to Xu Yiming and Shen Xingyan.

"Ningning, don't worry." Xu Yiming said, "Your uncle Shen, the police and I will leave for that place later and arrive tomorrow. We will bring your sister back safely."

Xu Chu Ning nodded heavily, "Will it be dangerous?"

Sang Menglan spoke up in time, "What's the danger? They will bring the police."

At worst, Shen Xingyan will bring bodyguards.

"I want to go too." After hearing their conversation, You Shuzhen, who had already adjusted her mood, walked out from the back and looked at them, "I'll go with you."

Hearing this, Shen Xingyan and Xu Yiming looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

In fact, it would be dangerous to go there.

The villagers in some villages are unreasonable. When Li Xiaonan was sold there, they would naturally think that Li Xiaonan was from that place, and Shen Xingyan and his men were just robbing her when they went there to get her.

Knowing what they were thinking, You Shuzhen said, "I won't hold you back."

She said softly, "I just want to go over and take a look. If it's inconvenient for me to show up at the place, I can wait for you at the hotel."

She just wanted to see her daughter earlier.

Xu Yiming hesitated, "Ningning you——"

"Let my mother go." Xu Chu Ning said softly: "She misses my sister."

She won't feel at ease if You Shuzhen is not allowed to go.

What's more, Xu Chuning believed that You Shuzhen was sober and rational, and she would not hold him back.

After hearing what Xu Chuning said, Shen Xingyan and Xu Yiming were silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's go to the police station first, and then we can ask the driver to pick you up when we leave."

Xu Yiming looked at You Shuzhen: "Don't worry too much, if we find her, we will definitely be able to bring her back."

Ye Qiongfang and Sang Menglan also nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, we are all waiting for you to come back home."

You Shuzhen wiped her tears and said, "Thank you."

"We are a family, why should we say thank you?" Ye Qiongfang disagreed with her words, "Ningning, cook something for your mother first. She will definitely have no appetite when she gets on the bus."

Xu Chu Ning responded: "Okay."

She raised her hand and hugged You Shuzhen, saying softly, "I'll be waiting for you and your sister to come back home. Everything will be fine, don't worry."

Shen Sinian in the future said that Li Xiaonan later came to Jiangcheng to work, so she must be alive and safe now.

As long as you are alive, there is still a chance to save everything.

You Shuzhen responded solemnly: "Mom knows."

Xu Chuning cooked a bowl of dumplings for You Shuzhen.

She didn't really taste anything, but she ate it anyway.

At eight o'clock, Xu Yiming arranged for a driver to pick up You Shuzhen. Xu Chuning went home with You Shuzhen, packed two sets of clothes as luggage, and sent her to the car.

Watching the car go away, Xu Chu Ning felt a little uneasy.

"Shen Yubai." She called his name subconsciously.

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes, held her hand, and told her in a deep voice, "I'm here."
