Chapter 1340: Chapter 1341: I Owe You a Favor

Wu Qian said urgently, "I want to ask for your help to look for my mother. The week before last, my mom received a letter from my grandma and went back to see them. But now it’s been two weeks, and my mom hasn’t called me once. I can’t leave school, so I want to ask you to help me look for her."

Yun Mingrui knew that Wu Qian and her mother had lived together for so many years—it was fair to say they relied on each other for survival.

Wu Qian continued with her head down, "I know I’ve troubled you with some things before, but I’m really worried about my mother. I don’t know who else to ask for help. Last time you said that if there was anything I needed, I could come to you."

Yun Mingrui pulled over to the side of the road, "Has there been no news at all?"

Wu Qian spoke with a crying tone, "No, not a single piece of news. I was worried before because my mom might have been taking care of grandma, but it’s been almost half a month without news, and I’m really worried. I fear something bad has happened to mom. I don’t know where my grandma lives; even if I wanted to search, I wouldn’t know where to start."

Wu Qian wasn’t lying. She truly didn’t know where her grandma’s house was. She had never visited since she was a child. Her mother had never taken her there either. She did know the general area from buying train tickets in the past, but the city was so big, how would she begin to look? Wu Qian hadn’t thought about this when she sent her mother off. After all, they were mother and daughter—how could anything happen?

But she had forgotten that human nature can be vicious; sometimes relatives are not as good as strangers.

"I’ll immediately send someone to investigate," Yun Mingrui said, seeing her tears and instinctively comforting her. Having interacted with her a few times, it was rare to see her looking so lost and helpless. He remembered that time when she left her sister speechless with what she said.

Yun Mingrui immediately called Shang Yunfei to investigate the matter. He also asked for the address, urging the other party to investigate quickly.

"We should have some news by tomorrow. Do you want to go home?"

Wu Qian didn’t know how to thank him. "Thank you, thank you," she genuinely didn’t know which other person to ask for help.

Seeing Wu Qian repeatedly expressing her gratitude, Yun Mingrui teasingly said, "If you want to thank me, you should know what I want, right?"

Wu Qian looked at him, shocked.

Yun Mingrui, seeing her like this, suddenly felt in high spirits. "I’ll take you home." Is he the type of person who would demand a return for a favor? Though it does depend on the person.

After hesitating for a long while, Wu Qian managed to say, "I owe you a favor."

"Just remember that, and when the time comes, you have to repay it."

Seeing her being so formal with him, he wasn’t really accustomed to it.

Wu Qian glanced at him, "I will repay it." He really is a businessman, a cunning one at that.

Yun Mingrui saw her looking out the window, "What are you saying?"

Wu Qian was startled and felt a bit guilty, "I didn’t say anything."

Yun Mingrui’s lips curled up into a smile, "After helping out, you should at least treat me to a meal, right?"

A meal? Even a simple restaurant would cost over a hundred yuan.

"Next time, next time!"

She hadn’t bought groceries when she returned home today. Was she supposed to offer him noodles?

Her cooking skills were passable, not yet to the point of being tasty.

He was rich; what delicacy hadn’t he tasted before? So better not to torture his palate.

"You don’t want me to go to your house? Afraid something will happen when a single man and a single woman are alone?"

Wu Qian was instantly choked up by his words.

Of course, she wouldn’t admit that such a possibility existed.

"Of course not. You’re overthinking it. Any kind of woman you want, you could have."
