Chapter 142 Andy's Heart Knot

On this day, Lao Yan, sent by Tan Yuanming, found some news about Andy's younger brother, Xiao Ming, and invited Andy to his house as a guest.

Andy came at the appointment and drove for half a day before arriving at the place.She didn't know what news she would hear next, but her strong reason kept her mentality stable.

Tan Zongming greeted him at the door, and Andy joked, "I don't know why you live so far away. It takes half a day to drive here. Who would waste their lives on four wheels?"

Tan Zongming smiled faintly: "Andy, are you sure you haven't gone wrong? Besides, what's so good about the city center? There are mountains and water, good air, and a quiet environment. It's the most suitable place to live in."

Andy said: "Okay! What you said makes sense."

He casually threw the car keys in his hand.

"This Porsche 911 is too high-profile, I need to replace it."

Tan Zongming said: "Which one of my cars is not high-profile, if you want to steal my car intentionally, just say, for a better reason, which one is your fancy."

Andy smiled, pointed to a black Porsche Panamera next to him and said, "I think this car is good, so let's leave it at that."

Tan Zongming said: "I only drove this car twice when I got it back, okay! I'll give it to you in the future."

Andy smiled and said, "I know four neighbors, all of whom are very interesting. The Porsche 911 can't fit, so I have to change to another one."

Tan Zongming said: "It seems that you get along well with your neighbors, and you did the right thing when you returned to China this time."

While chatting, the two walked along the bluestone road to the backyard. Another middle-aged man was already seated by the pool with a few waterfowls floating there.

Tan Zongming introduced it.

"This is Lao Yan. He has been investigating Xiao Ming's situation. I heard that it is quite difficult to investigate. Let Lao Yan tell you."

Old Yan sat down and said, "Miss Andy, first of all, I would like to apologize to you. The results of this investigation may not satisfy you."

"You don't know much about living in a foreign country. Things in China are different from those in foreign countries, especially for these adopters. They don't want others to know that they have adopted a child. It's like telling the people around them that they have no fertility."

"I don't even want to let the child have anything to do with the original family. After completing the adoption procedures, they move away quickly. It is actually very difficult to find them."

"Also, 20 years have passed since the incident. Now people are running everywhere in order to work, even if their household registration remains in place. It is not easy to investigate clearly what happened back then."

Seeing the disappointment on Andy's face, Lao Yan continued: "However, after many investigations, the adopter's information was found."

"It's just that the adopter sent your brother back to Daishan after adopting him for a while."

Andy wondered: "Send it back to Daishan? Why?"

Lao Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tan Zongming, who didn't say anything.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "After your younger brother was adopted, his IQ was low and he tended to be less responsive."

"They suspected that there was an intellectual problem, and the adopter didn't want to take this responsibility, so they sent him back again."

Andy's brain was confused, and he didn't dare to say it: "There is a problem with intelligence, no way, how is it possible?"

Old Yan sighed and explained: "The patriarchal situation in China has always been very serious. Your brother is a boy. If it is not in this situation, most people will not give up!"

Hearing this, Andy's heart suddenly despaired. The younger brother she was thinking of, the person she loved the most in this world, actually had mental problems. How could she accept it for a while, and her mind went blank for a moment.

Lao Yan saw that something was wrong with her, and knew that Andy used to drink water to relieve tension, so he quickly opened a bottle of water and handed it over: "Andy, don't be afraid, maybe Lao Yan got it wrong, drink some water first."

As a result, Andy drank himself a few mouthfuls of mineral water, took a deep breath, and then asked again: "Then where is my brother? Where is he now?"

Lao Yan sighed and said, "I'm no longer in the orphanage, and I don't know the details. I'm going to go again now, and talk to the retired staff of the orphanage, and see if I can provide some more clues."

Andy's eyes were dim, and his tone was low: "That means he is still missing, whether he is alive or dead?"

Tan Zongming comforted: "Andy, don't think so, Xiao Ming is definitely fine."

Lao Yan nodded: "The only thing that is certain is that it is still in Daishan. For others, we can only continue to search."

Andy took a deep breath: "Old Yan, if you can't find it anywhere else, you can go to the local mental hospital to see if he is there, or has been..."

Old Yan also sighed: "Miss Andy, don't be so discouraged, I believe Xiao Ming will be fine."

However, Andy couldn't control his emotions at this time. He got up and said, "Old Tan, I'm going back first. You can help me deal with the company's affairs these few days."

As he spoke, he picked up the keys of the new car and went out.

Tan Zongming hurriedly followed: "Andy, in your current situation, can you drive?"

Andy waved his hand: "I'm fine, I just want to have a quiet time, and don't let anyone bother me."

With that said, he walked away in a hurry.

Watching Andy leave, Lao Tan was a little worried, and waved his hand, and his personal driver trotted past.

"Follow Andy's car and watch her safely enter the Ode to Joy community before returning. If there is anything on the road, call me in time."

The driver responded and trotted after him.

At this time, Lao Yan got up and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Tan, do you want to tell her something about Miss Andy's life experience, so that she can be mentally prepared."

Tan Zongming resolutely said: "No, no need."

"I have known her for so many years, and I know her character very well. She is smart, but she is also too rational. She likes to dig into a dead end when she can't figure it out. This matter will make her fall into it. The smarter and more rational, the harder it is to get out."

"You should continue to investigate first. After a thorough investigation, I hope to find a proper solution before deciding whether to tell her the truth."

Lao Yan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

……

Andy was driving the car in a trance, but fortunately, her strong rationality allowed her to drive back to the community safely. When the car parked in the underground garage, she couldn't help but collapsed. She lay there, her mind racing.

Think about that little person, her dearest person in this world, who has mental problems, very likely mentally retarded, how she accepts this.

She took out a bottle of water from the car and drank it to relieve the anxiety and tension in her heart, but in her mind, the memories of her younger brother Xiao Ming and the words of Lao Yan kept reappearing over and over again, how to calm down.

Knowing that this emotion is wrong, she can only take a deep breath, drink water, and slowly relieve it.
