Qiao Yi didn’t expect this to be the case.

Before coming, she had imagined that the relationship between Lu Lu’s mother and her parents would not be good. But she didn’t expect them to close the door as soon as she mentioned Lu Lu, not wanting to know anything about her.

Qiao Yi knew that this kind of old house was not very soundproof, so they must be able to hear any from outside.

She said through the door, “Auntie, I don’t know what your attitude towards Lu Lu is now, but Lu Lu desperately needs your help. You are her only family.

“Since Lu Lu’s father passed away, her stepmother has treated her very badly. Did you know that she often abused her?

“Now there are good-hearted people who want to adopt Lu Lu, but her stepmother holds the custody rights and refuses to let go, so we need you to help regain the custody right.

“I know that you and your uncle are already old. Raising Lu Lu comes with certain difficulties. This time you only need to help us get back Lu Lu’s custody rights. If you don’t want to raise her, you can let the adopters take her over directly. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Qiao Yi stated the purpose of her trip, but the people inside did not give the slightest answer.

“Auntie, I promise that what I said is true, Lu Lu is only three years old. Can you bear to watch her being abused by her stepmother all the time?”

Qiao Yi tried to move Hu Fangli’s affections, but a man’s voice came from inside.

The man yelled, “I have said that I don’t know what you are talking about. If you don’t leave yet, I will call the police!”

Qiao Yi exchanged glances with her assistant. She took out some paper and quickly wrote down her phone number and name, and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.

“Uncle and aunt, this is my contact information. If you change your mind, please call me. Lu Lu really needs the help of her grandpa and grandma.”

Qiao Yi looked at the door, and sighed with a headache. Now she had no confidence.

The two went downstairs, and the assistant asked, “Sister Qiao Yi, are we going back like this?”

After driving for more than two hours, they weren’t able to say more than a couple of words to them before being turned away. This feeling was too uncomfortable.

Qiao Yi flipped through the information about Jiang Family on the phone.

In addition to the two elderly people in the Jiang family, there was also a son named Jiang Rui who was six years younger than Jiang Mo and was Lu Lu’s uncle.

If he was willing to come forward, he can help too.

Lu Lu’s uncle was 24 years old and worked as a salesman in a real estate company.

Qiao Yi thought to herself that many elderly people are more stubborn about past events, while young people are more open-minded. Since then, those two were unwilling to help, perhaps Jiang Rui, the uncle, was willing to come forward to persuade the two elders.

Since she came to Jindu, she couldn’t make a trip in vain, so Qiao Yi immediately went to the real estate sales department where Jiang Rui worked.

The sales hall was full of salespeople wearing suits and leather shoes. As soon as Qiao Ran stepped into the hall, several salesmen greeted her.

“Miss, do you want to buy a house?”

Qiao Ran waved her hand and said, “I’m looking for Jiang Rui, is he here?”

“Yes, but he has gone to the breakroom. I will call him for you.”

“Thank you.”

The enthusiastic real estate consultant took a look at Qiao Yi. After seeing the car key and Hermes in her hand, he hurried to the breakroom to call him.

Jiang Rui, who had no customers, was about to go to the breakroom and sit for a while. Suddenly someone called his name when his butt just touched the sofa.

“Jiang Rui, Jiang Rui, hurry up!” The person’s tone was very excited.

Jiang Rui asked impatiently, “What is it, such a hurry, after standing all morning, let me sit for a while.” As soon as he thought of something, his butt bounced off the sofa.

“It’s not the manager coming right?!”

If he was caught by the manager slacking off in the breakroom, he would not be far from being fired.

“No, no, there is a rich woman looking for you outside.”

“A rich woman?”

“Yes, she drives a Mercedes and has a Hermes bag in her hand. Her bearing is not ordinary.”

“Could it be she wants to buy a house from you. Seeing her qualifications, she must want the most expensive unit here. Jiang Rui, you little bastard, not bad. You don’t have sales for a few months, but you get a big one as soon as you get a sale.”

Jiang Rui almost couldn’t restrain the smile at the corners of his mouth when he heard the praise from his colleague.

He quickly walked towards the “rich woman”.

“Hello, I am Jiang Rui, what do you need? Our houses…”

Before Jiang Rui finished, Qiao Yi interrupted.

“Jiang Rui, I’m sorry, I didn’t come to buy a house. I want to ask you about other things.”

“Other things?” Jiang Rui looked at the strange woman in front of him. He was sure that he didn’t know her, “Then, you are?”

“My name is Qiao Yi. I’m from the capital.”

Coming from the capital, Jiang Rui was more sure that he had no interaction with her.

“Then why are you looking for me?”

“Your sister Jiang Mo has a daughter named Lu Lu, right?”

When Jiang Rui heard the mention of his sister and his sister’s daughter, his expression changed slightly, and a little impatience appeared. But this was the workplace. Qiao Yi was a potential customer even if she didn’t buy a house. He couldn’t be rude to a customer.

He patiently replied, “Yes, but my sister severed ties with us six years ago, and her business has nothing to do with me.”

Jiang Mo’s severance with her family was the same situation that Qiao Yi had previously imagined.

After all, Jiang Mo had not been in contact with her parents for so many years, and Lu Lu was so big but had only seen her grandpa and grandma once.

If the mother-daughter relationship was good, how could this be the case?

Qiao Yi said, “I’m not here for your sister, but for your sister’s only daughter, your niece Lu Lu.”

Jiang Rui’s expression became even worse.

He had known about his sister Jiang Mo and brother-in-law’s accidental death, and now Lu Lu was an orphan.

This well-dressed woman in front of him shouldn’t be a lawyer wanting them to raise Lu Lu right? 

This would not work.
