When Wei Duo said this, his tone suddenly paused.
"I don't know what a normal relationship between a mother and her daughter should look like, because I have never had one. But at that time, I suddenly felt lucky. If it was really like that, then living as an orphan until I grow up, It’s also a blessing.”
When Shen Mian heard this, she had a rough guess about what she wanted to say next.
She and Wei Duo had grown up in an orphanage since childhood, and they had been dependent on each other for a long time.
Wei Duo is different from me. She has always been much more emotional than me, but she is also sensible very early.
She didn't work hard to express herself in order to be adopted like other children. There was once a family that wanted to adopt her, but they refused because they were afraid that Shen Mian would be too lonely.
When Shen Mian found out about this, he had a serious talk with her that night.
Shen Mian himself didn't like joining a strange family with no blood relationship, but Wei Duo was different. She knew very well Wei Duo's inner desire for his parents, so she knew that Wei Duo refused to be adopted. To be honest, she was a little angry.
That was the first time the two of them had quarreled.
Even now, when both of them have grown up, Shen Mian can clearly feel that Wei Duo sometimes looks at the children held by their parents in a trance.
But this time, she was able to say such words, which meant that the mother opposite was really beyond her ability to accept.
"The girl's name is Qiao Jiaying. I originally thought it was a nice name, but later I realized that this was probably one of the reasons why she didn't want to mention her name and always used a pseudonym outside."
Wei Duo didn't look good, so Shen Mian poured her a glass of warm water.
Wei Duo held the water glass in his hand and smiled at Shen Mian.
"When we informed Qiao Jiaying's mother of her disappearance, her mother did not have any special reaction, and it was as if she had not even heard about it. Until we confirmed with her that Qiao Jiaying was missing, the other party also He just nodded lightly, said 'I understand' and closed the door instantly."
This reaction actually exceeded everyone's expectations.
Regardless of whether the relationship between mother and daughter is good or bad, among the many people they come into contact with, even if something happens to an ordinary roommate or friend, whether they really care or not, they will at least ask what happened.
Even if their relationship was so bad that they were indifferent to each other, they should still have some reaction when they heard that someone was missing.
Even strangers will frown in front of this kind of news.
But she was eerily calm from beginning to end.
"So we had no choice but to return to the work unit, because Qiao Jiaying was a single-parent family and was assigned to her mother at the time, so it was actually a bit difficult to find her other relatives when her mother was so indifferent. "
However, what they didn't expect was that Qiao Jiaying's mother took the initiative to come to the door the next day.
Moreover, she changed her previous indifferent attitude and began to care about her daughter's situation. While crying to find her missing daughter, she cursed the incompetence of the police, saying that they could not seek justice for the people. His whole performance was completely different from the day before.
It even made people think that they had found the wrong person the day before, or that the other person didn't react to the news at all the day before, and only behaved like this after they came to their senses.
Therefore, they could only comfort her emotions while taking the opportunity to understand Qiao Jiaying's situation and help find Qiao Jiaying.
"But who knows, that woman couldn't answer a single question about her daughter's situation. She didn't even know that her daughter was preparing to graduate. Instead, she thought that she had already graduated, so she would ask her for money every once in a while. Euphemistically, since you can earn money by working, you should repay your family. It was not easy for her to raise her..."
Wei Duo said, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
If it was just like this, that would be it. After all, she had actually heard of such a situation. There were no parents like this in this society.
but……
"We didn't expect that she came to us to make such a fuss. She didn't want to find her daughter or ask for someone for us. In the end, she asked us to stop looking. Because of our fault and the situation at the B&B, it made her We and the folk custom boss will compensate her..."
"Forget it like this, we just thought she was a snobbish woman who would sacrifice her daughter's life for money, but we didn't expect that this was just the beginning..."
Later they found out that the woman bought insurance for her daughter. If something happened to her daughter, she would be able to receive a large amount of compensation.
In addition, she contacted her ex-husband and informed him of her missing daughter.
After the other party hurried here, after seeing the other party, he stopped mentioning his daughter. Instead, it was as if nothing had happened. He finally had the opportunity to meet the other party and wanted to get back together with him. After the other party refused, he became angry and said that all these things happened to his daughter because of the other party.
The reason is that the other party secretly sent money to his daughter, which made her have the undesirable thought of leaving him.
Listening to what Wei Duo said, Shen Mian gradually understood the reason why Wei Duo was in a bad mood.
"God knows she just saw the news of her daughter's disappearance as an opportunity to see her ex-husband. This was probably what she thought of the night she got the news of Qiao Jiaying's disappearance."
Her biological daughter has disappeared, and all the thoughts in her mother's mind are how to profit from her daughter's disappearance.
Qiao Jiaying, a dispensable shadow of the Qiao family, was suddenly seen after disappearing as a shadow.
This is also ironic.
This made Wei Duo involuntarily discount his longing for his parents.
"It's not just Qiao Jiaying that makes you sad, right?"
Wei Duo nodded: "When I was sent to the orphanage, I actually thought about whether I was abandoned by my parents, or whether they just lost me. In fact, they have been looking for me. I wanted to find me, but I was also afraid. Go find it.”
In the years since I graduated, especially after I became a police officer, this idea still lingers.
"But I suddenly felt that if I find my biological parents, and they are just like Qiao Jiaying's mother, maybe it's better to let me retain some fantasies. At least such days will make me happier. When I think of going there tomorrow It will be a little awkward to meet that person.”
Shen Mian patted Wei Duo's back and said in a slower voice, "I'm with you."
After a pause, she remembered something: "Then what's the point of saying that only women can go?"
