After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

When she heard that the other party wanted to see photos, Lan Yujuan realized that she didn't have any photos of Qin Shuyi.

So she immediately called Chen Mo and asked him to send her a front-facing photo of Qin Shuyi.

After Chen Mo answered the phone, he not only sent over the photos, but also sensed that something was wrong.

"What do you need the photos for? Where are you right now?"

She could imagine how frantic Chen Mo must be right now, searching for someone.

She really couldn't bear to let the other person expend any more energy worrying about her.

So, without thinking, she replied casually:

"You go about your business, don't worry about me!"

"I'm just a little hungry, so I came out to buy some food."

"This food stall looks quite crowded. I was thinking of asking the waiter if they've seen Shuyi before."

After listening, Chen Mo replied in a low voice, "Okay, I understand."

"It's getting late. Finish your food and head home, okay?"

Lan Yujuan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, okay."

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo then added:

"Remember to call me when you get home."

Lan Yujuan was immediately embarrassed after hearing this.

Even if she doesn't look for anyone nearby, just grabbing a late-night snack and taking a taxi home would take at least two hours.

Based on what she just said, she could only last for an hour at most, so how could she dare to agree?

So, as she flipped through the menu, she paused for a few seconds before slowly saying:

"We'll see!"

"I have some other things to do in a little while, so I might not remember..."

"How about this, if you're not home by the time I go to bed, I'll call you first, okay?"

Chen Mo responded softly, "Hmm, that works too!"

You could clearly hear a faint hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, yet it also carried a sense of resignation that he had no other choice but to compromise.

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yujuan immediately downloaded the photo, enlarged it, and showed it to the waiter.

"Could you please take a look at this for me?"

"The person I'm looking for is her, my niece."

The waiter glanced at it and immediately started shaking his head.

"I don't know him/her, I've never seen him/her before."

Lan Yujuan was both angry and amused, clearly disagreeing with the result.

"You didn't even look closely, how can you be so sure you don't recognize it or haven't seen it before?"

The waiter behind the bar immediately burst out laughing. He leaned on the edge of the bar with one hand and pointed to his eyes with the index and middle fingers of his other hand, chuckling:

"Sister, I've already told you, I have a photographic memory, why won't you believe me?"

"Not to mention, a girl as beautiful as your niece, she's as lovely as a lotus emerging from the water."

"I could never forget anyone who's ever been to our shop!"

Lan Yujuan thought about it again and realized it made sense.

Qin Shuyi's appearance is a combination of almost all the best features of her parents, which is not obvious when she wears heavy makeup.

But if she appears without makeup, she's so beautiful it's as if she's on a completely different level from the people around her.

Right now, besides this place, Lan Yujuan doesn't have any other better places to look for.

So he immediately said:

"How about this, you pick me a spot with the best view, and I'll eat while I wait."

Who knows, Qin Shuyi might actually show up in a little while?

Lan Yujuan casually ordered a few dishes and followed the waiter to her seat.

"Sis, your niece looks quite young, she should be in high school, right?"

"Could it be that she had a fight with her family and is running away from home in the middle of the night?"

Lan Yujuan didn't answer directly, but instead smiled and asked curiously:

Why would you think that?

The waiter had clearly just said it casually, and while arranging for her to sit in a booth by the window, he smiled and said:

"Sigh, we've seen plenty of girls like this around here!"

"Look at our waitresses here, half of them started working after graduating from junior high school. The other half dropped out of high school for various reasons and ended up here carrying bottles of liquor."

"Most students who suddenly drop out halfway through high school do so because of conflicts with their families!"

"Let alone those of us working here, even on the bridge not far from the river, people jump off every year..."

"So, the family environment is still very important."
