Standing in front of the teaching building, looking up at the building whose wall color has almost faded, Dong Qingyu's eyes showed the color of memory.

"This building is at least 60 years old, and it is more than ten years older than me. When we entered Z University, the entire campus covers a very small area and there are very few teaching buildings. This building is so important to me. It is gorgeous and magnificent, but I didn't expect that after decades, it has faded from its original prosperity, living in a corner of the school, and it has been abandoned."

Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui followed Dong Qingyu and looked up at the old teaching building. Because their lives had no intersection with this building, they could only empathize with Dong Qingyu, but they couldn't feel it.

Dong Qingyu said: "When I saw your mother for the first time, I, a girl from the countryside, was deeply attracted by her appearance, especially those charming eyes. At first, I was jealous of your mother, but the relationship when I was young was amazing, and after a while, when we got acquainted, we became best friends."

With that said, Dong Qingyu sighed and motioned to Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui: "Let's go in and have a look."

Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui had no objection, and followed Dong Qingyu into the old teaching building.

The teaching building has a total of seven floors. Dong Qingyu led Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui to walk floor by floor, introducing them one by one. Most of the classrooms have lost their original functions and become the storage rooms of the School of Geology.

After walking around the teaching building, seeing the sky getting dark, Chen Zonghui suggested: "Is Professor Dong busy at night? If there is no appointment, I hope you can have a meal with us."

Dong Qingyu said: "All my time these days is yours, as long as you need me, I have time."

Lu Yang was very sorry: "Professor Dong is too much trouble!"

Dong Qingyu looked at Lu Yang disapprovingly: "From your mother's point of view, you should call me Auntie Dong. It would be too weird to call me Professor Dong."

Lu Yang obediently called Dong Qingyu "Auntie Dong", and then the two looked at each other and smiled, and left the teaching building together, planning to go to dinner.

The hotel where Big Z entertains guests naturally has places to eat, but the taste is mediocre. Dong Qingyu proposed to eat there, and was willing to pay for Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui, but Chen Zonghui refused, and asked the driver to bring a few people to the place together. A restaurant with a good reputation in Z City.

After taking a seat in the private room of the hotel, Dong Qingyu opened the handbag and took out a brass key from inside. Although the key was well preserved, it may have been too long, and there were spots of green patina in the recessed lines of the key. .

Dong Qingyu handed the key to Lu Yang: "I know that the real purpose of your visit this time is not just to see the place where Xiaojuan used to live, you are here to get back what Xiaojuan put here, right?"

Lu Yang took the brass key Dong Qingyu handed over, and nodded slightly.

Dong Qingyu said: "Xiaojuan's things don't belong to me. She only keeps a key in me. If you want to find what she left behind, I think you can go to the orphanage where she lived as a child and ask her about it." Ask, I heard from Xiaojuan that the director of the orphanage has always treated her very well."

Although Dong Qingyu didn't say for sure that Zhao Juan's half diary was with the director of the orphanage, her meaning was already very clear.

"Thank you, Aunt Dong." Lu Yang thanked.

Dong Qingyu waved his hands, his eyes were slumped: "Don't thank me, I know, Xiaojuan has grievances, she is not the kind of person who can be a third party, although she has worked in nightclubs before, there is a reason for that. "

Lu Yang heard something strange: "What's the reason?"

Dong Qingyu took a deep breath: "Actually, part of the reason why your mother and I went north was to create a different future, but in fact, for your mother, she wanted to find her biological parents. I will go to work in a nightclub, and I should have gotten some clues."

Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui looked at each other, and Lu Yang asked Dong Qingyu, "Aunt Dong, do you know what clue my mother got?"

Dong Qingyu frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "At that time, I had given up the idea of ​​staying in the capital, and was about to return to City Z. I only knew that she was going to work in a nightclub after hearing what others said. I wanted to come back, so I didn't ask any more questions. , but I guess, it should be related to the necklace she has been wearing since she was a child."

The clue is related to the Zhao family's necklace?

Catching Lu Yang's knowing gaze, Dong Qingyu said: "It seems that you also know that necklace. It seems that you have fulfilled Xiaojuan's wish to recognize her ancestors and return to her family." Dong Qingyu smiled gratifiedly.

Lu Yang wanted to say that it was too early to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, but the words came out of his mouth: "I have already recognized my grandfather. He misses my mother very much. He is very painful about her passing away."

Dong Qingyu's eyes showed a trace of sadness: "If Xiaojuanquan knows that her family still misses her, she will rest in peace."

After getting in touch with Dong Qingyu, Lu Yang had to say that the friendship between Dong Qingyu and Zhao Juan was really good.

At the dinner table, the focus of the three people's chats was basically around Zhao Juan, so after the meal, Lu Yang learned more about his late biological mother.

Dong Qingyu said that during Z University, Zhao Juan had always been a hard-working and upright girl, but when the two arrived in the capital, when Dong Qingyu couldn't bear the hardships of a foreign land and returned to Z City, the two met again, but Zhao Juan seemed Completely changed a person.

"Closed, depressed, she no longer has a sunny smile on her face, and she no longer shares anything about her with me, until she leaves City Z again, and what she gets again is the news of her death." Dong Qingyu said , A string of teardrops flowed from the corner of his eyes.

Dong Qingyu's voice was choked with sobs: "A person who once swore to me that he would definitely cherish life in this life and would not give up life lightly, actually ended up committing suicide by cutting his wrists, I don't believe it!"

"Aunt Dong..." Don't be so excited!My son is still not doing well! "You mean, there is a problem with my mother's death?"

Dong Qingyu shook his head: "I don't know. When I went to mourn, your mother's body had been cremated, but I still feel that your mother is not a person who would commit suicide at will, especially since she had already given birth to you at that time. A mother , will never abandon her child and go to hell alone, especially Xiaojuan is still a person with such a strong sense of responsibility."

If it was before, Lu Yang would not have understood Dong Qingyu's words, but now that there is a sudden extra piece of meat in his belly, he can understand Dong Qingyu's words very well.

It is really difficult for a mother to give up her child. To put it inhumanely, if Lu Yang and his mother switch places, if Lu Yang commits suicide, he will definitely bring his child to the hell to see the king of Hades, so that his own baby will not be hurt. His own flesh and blood were tortured by others.

Of course, everything is a personal guess. Whether Zhao Juan committed suicide or homicide is difficult to verify now, but through talking with Dong Qingyu, Lu Yang has a comprehensive and new understanding of his mother.

In Lu Yang's life, Zhao Juan is no longer just a third person in his mouth, but a more vivid and specific existence.

According to the information provided by Dong Qingyu, Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui drove to the orphanage in Linshi early the next morning.

When they arrived at the orphanage where Zhao Juan had stayed, they learned that the head of the orphanage had retired. According to the address in the files of the orphanage, Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui looked for it and found that the community where the head's home was located had been moved out. .

The community police station inquired a lot, and finally found the address of the dean after the relocation, but the result was that the old dean of the welfare home had passed away last year, and the things he had lived should be burned or thrown away, basically All gone.

Lu Yang, who was being discouraged, heard the old dean's daughter-in-law yell, "There is a box under the old lady's bed, and there are many old things in it. I have seen a carved box. I heard that the old lady was in the orphanage. A child left her there, it looked quite valuable, so she didn't throw it away, is that what you are looking for?"

Lu Yang didn't know what Zhao Juan left with the old dean, so he didn't expect much and said, "Can I see it?"

Because Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui brought a lot of presents to the old dean's son and daughter-in-law when they came to the door, and now the old dean's daughter-in-law is also very happy to take things.

I thought it would be a box about the same size as the blue paper box at home, but I didn't expect that the carved wooden box brought out by the old dean's daughter-in-law was half a meter long.

The box has been pried open, and prying marks can be clearly seen where the upper and lower lids connect.

The old dean's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed: "The old lady has left, and we will inevitably help tidy up the things she left behind. Oh, don't worry! The things here seem to be very important, and we will keep them all!"

Lu Yang took out the copper key that Dong Qingyu had given him before, and inserted it into the keyhole of the carved wooden box. The key and the keyhole fit perfectly, and it could be seen that this box was indeed what Lu Yang was looking for.

Opening the wooden box, Lu Yang easily found the other half of Zhao Juan's diary. Besides that, there were two file bags. Because he was in someone else's house, Lu Yang didn't open it, but closed the carved wooden box , thanked the son and daughter-in-law of the old dean, left a considerable amount of thanks, and left with a wooden box.

Back at the hotel, Lu Yang and Chen Zonghui spent the whole afternoon digesting the second half of Zhao Juan's diary.

After reading the second half of Zhao Juan's diary, Lu Yang, who was already emotional during pregnancy, could no longer control himself and drowned himself in grief and tears.

The reason why Zhao Juan entered the nightclub was because she got clues related to the necklace of the Zhao family.

After Zhao Juan started working in the nightclub, she successfully found Zhao Xiaogang, one of Zhao Juan's younger brothers and Lu Yang's uncle, according to the clues of the necklace.

What made Zhao Juan very happy was that Zhao Xiaogang and Zhao Juan actually recognized each other, and promised to arrange for Zhao Juan to meet Zhao Zhiguo as soon as possible and conduct a paternity test.
