Jiaojiao appears out of nowhere, and the entire wealthy family kneels and begs for forgiveness!

Chapter 221 The Only Regret of Old Master Lu's Life

The birthday celebrations continued.

The Lu family was very grateful to Chu Miao and even gave her the seat of honor, allowing her to sit with Old Master Si and the others.

"Miaomiao, do you know where your mom went?"

Chu Tian couldn't contact Wen Li, so he asked Chu Miao.

He hadn't seen Wen Li since just now, and he couldn't get through to her on the phone.

"It seems they went to the warehouse."

Chu Tian immediately sent someone to find Wen Li.

"Thank you all for attending this old man's birthday banquet."

As the birthday celebrant, Mr. Lu gave a brief speech: "I am eighty years old this year. Looking back on my life, I have taught and nurtured many students, have a son and a daughter, and grandchildren around me. I should be content."

"But I have one regret in my life: my only daughter, Jiaojiao, was abducted from an amusement park in the north of Beijing thirty years ago, and her whereabouts are still unknown."

"My biggest wish today is to find my Jiaojiao someday. Over the years, we have tried many, many methods, but we have not been able to find her. It's just a pity that I am getting older and my health is getting worse. I'm afraid that I won't see her again for much longer."

The guests' eyes welled up with tears.

The Lu family members looked pained.

Even Old Master Si couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

Although he and Grandpa Lu couldn't stand each other and would argue every time they met, they were still friends of many years. At their age, with one foot in the grave, they didn't have many friends left, and each one who passed away was one less.

Grandpa Lu's health had always been quite good; it was only because he was heartbroken from missing his family that he fell ill.

"The Lu family donates two-thirds of its annual income to charities and orphanages. I hope to help more children. Perhaps my daughter Jiaojiao is among them? Perhaps if I help them this time, someone will help my Jiaojiao in the future."

"I can't find her, so I can only use this method to pray that someone will be good to my Jiaojiao, and that my Jiaojiao can live a good life."

"Many media outlets have come today. I hope that through you, my daughter can see me." Grandpa Lu's eyes were already red. "Before I close my eyes, I hope to see my daughter, even just once! My child! Thirty years have passed, and I still miss you very much. Every year on your birthday, your father and brothers would prepare gifts for you. We do this every year. We love you very much."

Grandpa Lu's words successfully brought tears to everyone's eyes.

Chu Miao looked at the incredibly sincere Old Master Lu on the stage.

The hostility in his eyes wasn't as strong anymore.

Although the Lu family wronged her mother, Old Master Lu genuinely missed her mother and was truly good to her.

As Grandpa Lu finished speaking, he was so heartbroken that he could no longer stand. He clutched his heart and bent over.

Lu Sili and the others quickly helped him up.

Wen Minhui also went to help him. Seeing how much Grandpa Lu missed Lu Jiao, her heart bled, and she felt very unwilling.

For thirty years, she treated Grandpa Lu so well, caring for him like her own father, but he still only had eyes for that woman, Lu Jiao!

She was the one who was taking care of him!

The large screen has been raised, ready to display photos of Lu Jiao as a child, and the media have also pointed their cameras at the screen.

Chu Tian sighed: "Even such a good person as Mr. Lu can suffer such pain. Those human traffickers are truly despicable. I wonder if Miss Lu Jiao is still alive, and if there is any possibility that she can see Mr. Lu again."

The large screen scrolls and begins playback.

Chu Tian also turned his gaze in that direction.

I'd like to see photos of Lu Jiao when she was a child.

What came into view was a smiling face with curved eyebrows and eyes, a face that was a miniature version of Wen Li.

Chu Tian had seen photos of Wen Li when she was a child, and they were exactly the same as the photos of Lu Jiao on the big screen. The only difference was that Lu Jiao was dressed in gorgeous princess dresses, while Wen Li was dressed in coarse linen clothes in the countryside. But that face was unmistakable; it was Wen Li.

Chu Tian jumped to his feet.

His eyes were filled with undisguised shock.

It's not that he's not composed; rather, anyone would be unable to be composed in this situation.

Grandpa Lu's daughter, who had been missing for thirty years, looked exactly like Wen Li.

Wen Li was also adopted by Wen's parents!

That's exactly thirty years!

Could it be——

After the video finished playing, the guests couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that such a gentle and bright young girl had her life ruined by human traffickers.

They all comforted Grandpa Lu, telling him not to be too sad.

The birthday party continues.

Grandpa Lu walked to Chu Miao's side.

He liked this girl, not only because of her character, but also because she had saved him.

It was because he could always see his daughter Jiaojiao's feeling in her. Even though the two didn't look alike and their temperaments were completely different, he just felt that they were very similar.

If his daughter hadn't been abducted, his granddaughter would be about this age now.

"Little Miaomiao, may I call you that?" Grandpa Lu smiled. "You saved my life. Tell me, is there anything you want? Grandpa Lu will grant your wish."

"Grandpa Lu, thirty years have passed. Your biological daughter may be right beside you, but you haven't even found her. What else can you possibly offer me?" Chu Miao asked sincerely.

When Old Master Si heard her words, he looked at her with great surprise.

When did Miaomiao become so sharp-tongued?

It's as if they have a grudge against Old Master Lu.

"You're right, I can't even find my own daughter, it's my incompetence," Old Master Lu said with a bitter smile.

“Grandpa Lu, perhaps the person you’ve been searching for has always been by your side, never far away,” Si Yelin suggested.

Grandpa Lu didn't understand what he was saying and frowned at him.

He could sense that there was something more to their conversation.

But he didn’t quite understand what they meant. What did they mean by saying that the person they had been searching for was right beside them?
