Three days later, Jichun Airport.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Mei, the wife of the chairman of Zhenbang Group, arrived in Jichun from Guangzhou. Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Zhongqi were waiting eagerly in the airport terminal early.

This time Xue Mei came to Jichun,

Nominally, the purpose is to negotiate with Jichun Electric Power Bureau regarding the transfer of high-voltage cables.

More importantly, he wants to get to know his daughter, who has been missing for twenty years.

Twenty years ago, on the eve of the liberation of Jichun, the city of Jichun was already in dire straits, and there was always the possibility of being breached.

Xu Zhenbang, a colonel of Jichun City Defense, made a decisive decision and took the last military plane with his wife to leave Jichun.

However, there is a rule on flying military aircraft, and young children cannot be taken on board. Reluctantly, he gave his daughter Xu Xiaowan, who was just four months old, to the adjutant's family for adoption. He would come back to claim her after the war subsided.

Unexpectedly, Jichun city was destroyed and the adjutant was killed in battle.

Xu Zhenbang and his wife asked someone to search for him in the mainland, but there was no news. Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten years ago, Xu Zhenbang abandoned the army and entered business and established Zhenbang Group in Hong Kong.

In the past ten years, many materials imported and exported from the mainland have been transited through Hong Kong through Zhenbang Group.

As a patriotic businessman, Xu Zhenbang made great contributions to the construction of New China through Zhenbang Group. Of course, Zhenbang Group also gained huge benefits from it.

It is precisely because of the contribution made by Zhenbang Group that the superiors gave special permission to search for the missing daughter in Jichun.

The plane was not delayed. Twenty minutes after landing, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark blue dress, long hair, and sunglasses walked out of the waiting aisle.

In this era, there are very few flights and even fewer people fly.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Zhongqi recognized at a glance that the person coming out of the passage was Xue Mei, the wife of the chairman, and they hurriedly greeted her.

"Ma'am, it's been a good journey."

Lin Xiaoxiao took Xue Mei's trolley case and bowed.

"Fortunately, it's just that the plane was very bumpy and I was a little dizzy. Xiaoxiao, where is that girl named Zheng Juan?"

I want to see her now." Xue Mei asked.

"Madam, I met Zheng Juan yesterday. Zheng Juan meant to see you again after you have rested." Lin Xiaoxiao responded.

After hearing this, Xue Mei was somewhat disappointed, "But I'm impatient. I just want to see her now."

"Madam, I think she hasn't fully accepted this reality and doesn't want to see you right away. If you ask me, you'd better meet her boyfriend first."

"What does her boyfriend do? Are they married?" Xue Mei asked with concern.

"His boyfriend's name is Lu Tian. He is a translator at a soy sauce factory. He is very knowledgeable and handsome. They are not married, but they already live together."

"We are not married, why do we live together?" Xue Mei asked.

"I heard from Zheng Juan that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, her adoptive mother changed her birth date from 1948 to 1951.

In the Mainland, you have to be 18 years old to register for marriage. Calculated in May 1st, you will have to register in March next year."

"So that's it, I thought my daughter met a playboy.

It’s okay not to see you. I’m really feeling a little unwell today.

I'm going to the hotel to have a rest. Tomorrow morning, you ask the man named Lu Tian to have breakfast with me at the hotel.

It’s better to talk to him first.”

"Yes, madam." Lin Xiaoxiao responded.

Jichun Hotel, Chinese restaurant.

Today, Lu Tian was dressed particularly formally.

A white shirt on the upper body, blue trousers on the lower body, and rare leather shoes on the feet.

The leather shoes of this era were all made of hard cowhide, which rubbed the feet and made walking uncomfortable, so Lu Tian was reluctant to wear them.

When performing for intellectual youth with Zhou Rong, Lu Tian always wore rubber shoes and never wore leather shoes.

Today is a special day. I am meeting Zheng Juan's biological mother and the wife of the chairman of Zhenbang Group. It is too shabby. It is also appropriate to dress decently.

As soon as Lu Tian entered the Chinese restaurant of Jichun Hotel, Lin Xiaoxiao greeted him, "Mr. Lu, Madam is waiting for you inside. Come with me."

Lu Tian didn't say anything, and followed Lin Xiaoxiao to a booth near the window.

At the entrance of the Chinese restaurant, Lu Tian saw a woman wearing a long skirt and long hair sitting in a booth next to the window.

Judging by how fashionable she was, Lu Tian concluded that this woman must be Zheng Juan's mother.

As expected, Lin Xiaoxiao stopped in front of this booth, bowed and said: "Madam, Lu Tian is here."

The middle-aged woman raised her head and looked at Lu Tian.

I saw the young man in front of me, tall and well-proportioned, with clear facial features, and a bit of bookishness in his handsome appearance.

First impression, very good.

Xue Mei put down the newspaper in her hand and asked, "Are you Lu Tian?"

"Yes, I am Lu Tian." Lu Tian leaned forward slightly and replied.

The beautiful middle-aged woman pointed to the seat in front of her and said, "Sit down."

"good."

Lu Tian didn't say much and sat down in front of the middle-aged woman.

Looking face to face, we could clearly see the appearance of the middle-aged woman.

At the first sight, Lu Tian could tell that this woman must be Zheng Juan's mother.

Perhaps because of the superior conditions and pampering, the woman in front of her is not that old, she only looks in her early thirties. It is said that she is Zheng Juan's mother, and she looks more like her eldest sister.

Except for being slightly plumper than Zheng Juan, every facial feature is similar, especially the eyes, which are exactly the same.

"What do you want to eat?" the middle-aged beautiful woman asked.

"Soy milk, fried dough sticks."

In this era, breakfast in Chinese restaurants consisted of soy milk and fried dough sticks, as well as sorghum, rice, rice and salted fish. Lu Tian ordered his favorite.

"Xiaoxiao, go and ask for a piece of soy milk and fried dough sticks for Mr. Lu." the beautiful middle-aged woman ordered.

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao walking away, the middle-aged beautiful woman looked straight at Lu Tian and said, "You should know who I am, right?"

Lu Tian leaned forward slightly and put his arms on the dining table, "I heard Lin Xiaoxiao mention that you are Xue Mei, the wife of the chairman of Hong Kong Zhenbang Group."

"Yes, I am Xue Mei. However, you know my present and my past, but you definitely don't know."

Xue Mei picked up the glass and took a sip of green tea.

"I'm all ears to hear what Madam is willing to say," Lu Tian responded.

Xue Mei put down the water glass, "Since I asked you to come, I just want to tell you and let you listen. More importantly, I have to tell her when I get back.

This is the city in front of me. Twenty years ago, my husband and I lived here for three full years. We got married here and had a daughter here.

There are many properties belonging to our Xu family in this city. Of course, these properties have been confiscated and are no longer ours."

After saying that, Xue Mei looked out of the window through the glass.

Seeing Xue Mei stop, Lu Tian asked: "Madam, did you live here before liberation?"

"Yes, if I have never lived here, how could my daughter be lost here? I still have great feelings for the city of Jichun."

Xuemei turned her head and looked at Lu Tian.

"Madam, then I want to ask you, since you also have feelings for Jichun, if Zheng Juan is really your daughter, do you want to take her back to Hong Kong or stay in Jichun?" Lu Tian said bluntly.
