Chapter 633 - 633 Meeting Minister Niu Again
It had only been a few days since she last came. Seeing the City Planning Administrative Department again this time, she had mixed emotions. She hoped that the conditions this time would move Minister Niu.
Just as she was about to look for someone to ask where Minister Niu’s office was, she saw him walking towards her.
Chu Ning was delighted and quickly stepped forward. “Minister Niu!”
Minister Niu had just finished a meeting. He was shocked and a little annoyed when he saw Chu Ning, thinking, “These developers are really everywhere.”
“Do you have time?” Chu Ning asked. “I want to talk to you about your mother’s missing person notice.”
Minister Niu’s eyes were wide open. In his position, there were naturally many people who wanted to curry favor with him and ask about his family. His mother also knew about this, so she posted a missing person notice in the hope that there would be news.
However, no one had provided him with any useful information over the years. He was a little afraid that it would be all for naught. After all, his mother’s mental state had not been good in the early years, and she had only returned to normal after some time.
He still remembered that he had only been 6 years old at that time. His mother looked at his face and suddenly decided to send out a missing person notice. His father was silent for a long time and did not refute. He once asked who this person was, but his mother kept crying and his father kept silent. He did not ask again.
After all these years, his mother had never given up. From time to time, she would look at the photos on the missing person notice and sigh.
Minister Niu didn’t know whether Chu Ning was telling the truth or not, but it wouldn’t hurt to listen to her. It just so happened that he had nothing on at the moment. “Let’s go; let’s talk at my house.”
As the two of them walked out, Minister Niu said, “Chu Ning, I know you need my help, but I hope you can really bring good news. If you can help my mother find this person, I will do my best within the scope of my abilities.”
Chu Ning felt assured hearing his promise. “Don’t worry, Minister Niu. The person your mother is searching for is still alive. Although her life isn’t very good, I’ve helped her granddaughter, which has relieved some of the pressure.”
Minister Niu’s mother lived in the government building, not far from the city government. Minister Niu drove very quickly and reached in no time.
Chu Ning followed Minister Niu as he went upstairs and knocked on the door. It was Minister Niu’s mother, Xing Fei, who opened the door.
“Why are you here?” she asked happily upon seeing Minister Niu. “Didn’t you go to work?” She glanced around and saw Chu Ning behind him. She was a little surprised. “And this young lady is…?” She moved aside. “Come on in.”
Minister Niu brought Chu Ning into the room and gave her a look, signaling her to not say anything. After changing their shoes, the three of them sat on the sofa. Xing Fei called Minister Niu’s father to brew tea for the guest. “Old Niu, someone’s here. Go make some tea.”
Minister Niu was indeed a filial son. He was first asking after his parents’ health. Then, he deliberated for a moment before saying, “Mom, there’s a clue about the missing person notice.”
Seeing his mother abruptly stand up, Minister Niu quickly helped her up and patted her back. “Mom, don’t be anxious. This young lady is the one who provided the clues. I don’t know the details, so I brought her to see you. Don’t be anxious. Take care of your health.”
“What clues do you have?” Xing Fei grabbed Chu Ning’s hand. “Did you find her?” Her anxious tone startled Chu Ning.
Chu Ning sighed. “Yes, I found her, but she didn’t want to come back. She was worried that she would agitate you again.”
Xing Fei became even more agitated, and her tone suddenly rose. “How could it be! I’ve been searching for her for 36 years!”
Minister Niu was afraid that she would faint from excitement, so he quickly helped her sit down. The man in the kitchen also came out. When he saw Xing Fei in that state, he walked over and sat beside her. “Son, go cut some fruit for the guest. I’ll take care of your mother.”
Chu Ning was flattered and waved her hand, “No need, no need. Minister Niu, no need to trouble yourself.” Chu Ning didn’t dare to ask Minister Niu to cut fruits for her. She still had a favor to ask.
