Chapter 142 Dawn

Liu Rui was stunned.

At this moment, her left hand was held tightly by Jiang Qi, and her right hand was held tightly by Sister Hu. Both of them were holding on tightly, as if she was a thief who had been caught stealing, and they were afraid that she would run away.

In Liu Rui's memory, encountering similar situations is usually not a good thing.

Her hearing was severely damaged due to a high fever, and cochlear implants were so expensive that the orphanage could not afford them. The orphanage also couldn't afford to send her to a special school and had to send her to a regular school.

It took her almost two years to slowly learn to read lips. Because she couldn't hear, she couldn't keep up with the learning progress in school and stopped reading after junior high school.

Because she couldn't hear she didn't have any friends.

Because she couldn't hear, she was often misunderstood as having an eccentric personality, being rude and unkind to others.

Because she couldn't hear, she always ran into a lot of unnecessary trouble. She was often misunderstood by others, often confused about the situation, and was always disliked for speaking too loudly.

Over the past nine years, she has long been accustomed to this basically silent world, but it seems that this world will never get used to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Although Liu Rui didn't understand what was going on, she still apologized loudly out of habit.

Sister Hong was still yelling at the other end of the phone: "Old Wang, don't you know where Old Man Chen lives? Just go over and drag him over! His granddaughter is back, his granddaughter is back!"

"What's going on? I don't know what's going on. Xiao Jiang said that his granddaughter is back and is in my store now. I have caught her. Go over and drag old man Chen over, don't worry about him. I was so excited that a happy event turned into a bad thing.”

After hanging up the phone, Sister Hu had time to say to the slightly panicked Liu Rui, "Chenchen, don't get excited, your grandpa will be here soon."

Sister Hu said this to Liu Rui, and Liu Rui said doubtfully: "Chenchen."

Jiang Qi, who had already organized his speech, quickly explained: "Sister Hu, her name is Liu Rui now. She was probably abandoned by traffickers because of illness and adopted by an orphanage. Her hearing was severely damaged due to high fever, and most of her previous memories were lost. Lost, so she doesn’t remember her name, but she just has a little impression of our place.”

"She always thought she was abandoned by her parents and came here after reading the news."

Sister Hu was so shocked that she was speechless.

"My dear." Sister Hu looked at Liu Rui and said slowly, word by word, "Chenchen, your name is not Liu Rui, your name is Chen Zichen, and you have a twin brother named Chen Ziyang. Both you and your brother are You were born in the morning, so one is the morning sun and the other is the morning sun. When your parents gave you this name, we sighed that you are indeed a cultured person, and they are so particular about naming their children."

"Your father's name is Chen Si, your mother's name is Liu Xinhong, and your grandfather's name is Chen Baibai. Your parents were both high school teachers in our city, one taught physics and the other taught chemistry."

"You were not thrown away by your parents. You and your brother were abducted by those traffickers who killed thousands of people."

Liu Rui, no, it should be Chen Zichen who opened his eyes in disbelief.

Soon, the news that Old Man Chen's abducted granddaughter had been found by herself spread throughout the alley as if she had wings.

Nine years have passed since the incident. Many people like Sister Hong and Boss Wang who were less affected by the abduction of the twins in the Chen family have long forgotten what Chen Zichen looked like back then. However, there are also store owners who were deeply impressed by Chen Zichen. Remember.

For example, the owner of the canteen almost rushed to the noodle shop after hearing the news. The moment he saw Chen Zichen's face, he slapped his thigh and said with annoyance: "I'm really blind. Old Man Chen's granddaughter was in my house last night." It's been in front of me for so long, but I didn't recognize it."

Chen Zichen was almost 9 years old when she was abducted. Even after 9 years, as long as you are willing to identify, you can still recognize whether it is the same child back then. After all, the general outline of the facial features has not changed, it has just grown longer.

Soon, the door of the noodle shop was surrounded by people.

Chen Zichen couldn't hear everyone's surprise comments, nor could she hear people outside talking about anyone who had Liu Xinhong's phone number, so she quickly called Liu Xinhong to come back and recognize her daughter.

She just sat in the noodle shop with a little fear, holding Sister Hu's hand tightly.

Jiang Qi and Sister Hu had already let go of their hands, but now Chen Zichen was unwilling to let go.

She looked at Jiang Qi, the one who caused all this, as if asking for help: "Boss Jiang, are you making a mistake?"

"I...I'm not even sure...what if I make a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong." Sister Hu comforted, "Everyone recognized it. It can't be wrong, and the time is right."

While waiting in panic, Boss Wang arrived with Old Man Chen on his arm.

Old man Chen was wearing a white Tai Chi training uniform and was helped in by Boss Wang tremblingly.

He is actually in very good health. He never staggers or shakes when he walks on weekdays. It can be said that he walks as fast as flying. But today, he walked in tremblingly like an old man in his nineties who had to use crutches to walk. If it weren't for Boss Wang's support, he might have fallen down in the next second.

Seeing Old Man Chen coming, the crowd gathered at the door of the noodle shop dispersed.

When family members meet again after a long separation, they will not stay at the door to create a warm atmosphere.

Old Chen walked tremblingly to Chen Zichen and looked at her face.

Chen Zichen also looked at him, feeling that the gray-haired old man in front of him was both strange and familiar, as if he had seen him in a dream before.

"Chenchen has grown up." Old Chen forced out a smile and grabbed Chen Zichen's hand, as if to confirm whether this was a real person. "It's great. She is now a big girl. She is so beautiful."

Chen Zichen looked at the person in front of her, feeling neither happy nor sad, but her eyes were covered with tears and she could not see clearly the person in front of her.

She really wanted to see clearly, so she blinked, and big tears fell directly from her eyes, one drop after another, soaking her thin black pants.

Between clarity and blur, she looked through the old man in front of her and saw a man with black hair and a similar face, but not as old and without so many wrinkles. He held her hand and said to herself.

"Chenchen scored 100 points in the exam today. It's great. Grandpa went back to buy you popsicles to eat. Yangyang scored 95 points in the exam, which is also great. You can also have popsicles to eat."

"Grandpa, I want to eat popsicles." Chen Zichen whispered.

Jiang Qi, Sister Hu and Boss Wang quietly left the noodle shop.

Boss Wang and Sister Hu both wiped the tears from their eyes, and smiled while wiping away the tears. They couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

"Xiaojiang, thank you. If you hadn't asked so enthusiastically, Chenchen would have failed to find it. The same goes for old man Chen. He couldn't decide when to close the store, but he had to close the store a few days ago." Sister Hu said.

"Why are you still blaming Old Man Chen?" Boss Wang defended Old Man Chen.

"I haven't even mentioned you yet, so forget it because I don't recognize you. You had such a good relationship with Chen Si back then, and you could be considered as someone who watched Chenchen and Yangyang grow up. How dare you, such a big girl, hang out in front of your store? I didn’t recognize it. I just didn’t recognize it, and I didn’t go up to ask if they needed help. If it hadn’t been for Xiao Jiang, there’s no telling what would have happened.”

Boss Wang tilted his head guiltily: "Can Xiao Jiang and I be the same?"

"Xiao Jiang...what a warm-hearted person."

Jiang Qi:?

"By the way, has anyone notified Chenchen's mother?"

"I've informed you. I heard that I didn't even go to class after I answered the phone, and I'm on my way here."

"Dad Chenchen?"

"It seems that the call didn't get through, but he is out of town, and it will probably be tomorrow before he comes back."

"Hey, I just don't know if Yangyang can get it back on his own."

"It would be nice to have one back."

Boss Wang and Sister Hu sat in the script shop and sighed for a long time, and finally said in unison: "Xiao Jiang, thank you for having me!"

"It should, it should."

At the same time, the system prompt suddenly sounded in Jiang Qi's mind.

"Hey, congratulations to player Jiang Qi for achieving the achievement [Enthusiastic Citizen Mr. Jiang] and receiving [Extra Card Drawing Ticket]."

Jiang Qi:?

Mr. Jiang, an enthusiastic citizen?

Extra card draw tickets?

What is this?
