Lure, Fungus

Chapter 225 Meeting Jiang Mingzheng

The early morning sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and shines into a corner of the room.

Mrs. Katie sat quietly by the bed, gazing at the scenery outside the window, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

She did not tell Gu Shengye that she had arrived in China because she felt that the time was not right.

This time when I returned to China, some dusty past events came to my mind.

She hadn't been back to Qingchuan Town, the once familiar place, for a long time.

The next morning, Mrs. Katie called Luo Hei and asked him to take her to Qingchuan Town.

"Luo Hei, I haven't been back for a long time." There was a hint of melancholy in Mrs. Katie's voice, as if she was recalling the past.

She looked through the car window into the distance, her face revealing a sense of regret for the passage of time.

When Luo Hei heard what Mrs. Katie said, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

He remembered that he had gone to England with Miss Ye Ni since he was a child, and he had not returned to this land for a long time.

"Madam, if Miss Ye Ni knew that you could come back, she would be very happy." Luo Hei said with a kind tone.

Mrs. Katie turned her head and glanced at him, and while Luo He was concentrating on driving and not paying attention, a fierce look flashed across her eyes.

Of course she knew that this was Luo Hei's special feeling for Ye Ni.

However, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

She thought of Ye Ni, the woman who had once appeared in her life.

They clearly live in the same place, but their destinies are so different.

When Ye Ni was a child, she could easily leave this place, travel across the ocean to the UK, and start a new life.

And what about her?

But he can only be trapped in the small space of Qingchuan Town, living a life without any change day after day.

What exactly is this for?

Is it simply because they have different family backgrounds or other unspeakable reasons?

Mrs. Katie was secretly struggling in her heart. She didn't understand why Ye Ni had been dead for so long, but all the people still remembered her and kept her in their hearts.

She looked out the window again, and the unwillingness in her heart gradually surged up.

Suddenly, she felt much better.

What if I remember?

Not dead yet.

The car sped along the road, and the scenery outside the window unfolded slowly like a beautiful painting.

The town of Qingchuan is located at the foot of the mountain and is surrounded by lush mountains.

The mountains rise and fall like a winding dragon.

The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of mystery and tranquility.

Entering Qingchuan Town, the narrow and quaint streets are lined with rows of neatly arranged houses.

Most of these houses are of old architectural style.

The roof is covered with green tiles and the walls are white, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

The streets are lined with green trees and flowers.

The breeze blows and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The car slowly drove across an ancient stone bridge.

There is a clear stream under the bridge.

The brook gurgles, making a pleasant sound.

Mrs. Katie got out of the car and walked towards the familiar yet strange town with heavy steps.

Nothing has changed here.

It's just that she has changed.

Her eyes swept across the shops and crowds on both sides of the street, as if looking for something.

Luo Hei followed her silently, watching everything around him vigilantly.

On the streets of Qingchuan Town, Mrs. Katie's thoughts gradually drifted away.

She recalled every little detail of the past, the laughter and tears.

But now, everything has changed.

Katie walked forward slowly, each step seeming a little heavy.

Her eyes were fixed on the house not far ahead, and as it got closer, Katie's heartbeat began to speed up.

Finally, she stopped in front of the familiar house.

She stood there quietly, gazing at the house that once brought her countless memories.

A breeze blew by, ruffling her hair and evoking thoughts deep in her heart.

Katie took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.

She gently stroked the faded paint on the door frame, feeling the traces left by time.

The rust on the door handle seems to tell stories of the past, while the dust on the windows covers up the warm sunshine that once existed.

"Su Qing?"

A familiar voice suddenly interrupted Mrs. Katie's thoughts.

It has been a long time since anyone called her by that name in all these years.

The sun shines on the streets of Qingchuan Town, reflecting a sense of tranquility and warmth.

When Mrs. Katie turned around, her eyes inadvertently met Jiang Mingzheng's.

She couldn't help but feel a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

I sighed in my heart, what a joke of fate!

Since Ye Ni's death, she had almost never met Jiang Mingwen in the UK, but she didn't expect to meet him in Qingchuan Town today.

Jiang Mingzheng simply greeted Mrs. Katie, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness.

He looked quietly at the house in front of him, as if he could see his past self through time.

Mrs. Katie's eyes also rested on the house, and both of their thoughts were drawn back to the past.

Jiang Mingzheng remembered that when he first got married to Xiao Ni, they lived in Qingchuan Town for a period of time.

Xiao Ni also mentioned Mrs. Katie, saying that she also grew up in Qingchuan Town.

"I don't think I've ever seen you leave England." Jiang Mingzheng spoke slowly, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Mrs. Katie was a little flustered, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look Jiang Mingzheng in the eye.

She forced a smile and said, "I've been missing Ye Ni a lot these days, so I came here. However, I didn't want to alert too many people this time, so not many people know about it."

She clenched her hands unconsciously, as if trying to hide her inner anxiety.

Jiang Mingzheng frowned slightly. He could feel that Mrs. Katie's answer was a bit far-fetched.

He stared at Mrs. Carty, trying to read her expression.

However, there was only a forced smile on Mrs. Katie's face.

Jiang Mingzheng felt helpless, as he knew some things could not be changed.

He sighed deeply, turned and walked towards the house.

Jiang Mingzheng stood quietly in front of the window, gazing into the distance.

He thought to himself that when Xiao Ni left, her daughter's whereabouts were unknown and Mrs. Katie cried so sadly.

Recalling that scene, a trace of pain flashed in Jiang Mingzheng's eyes.

His hands clenched unconsciously, as if trying to grasp the past.

At this moment, he was feeling very conflicted.

He knew very well that Mrs. Katie missed her daughter Xiaoni, and wondered whether to tell her the news that her daughter had been found.

However, Ze Xiao didn't let him reveal it.

Jiang Mingzheng frowned slightly and pursed his lips, looking a little helpless.

He sighed secretly in his heart, and finally decided not to say it.

He turned around silently, his back looking a little lonely.

Perhaps, this is to protect his daughter and to abide by the agreement with Ze Xiao.
