Because he was afraid that it would be impolite to come empty-handed without saying hello, Zhou Yun bought a lot of gifts and fruit baskets on the way. The two of them got out of the car together, with their hands full.

Zhou Yun glanced at Xu Jiajia, then walked over and pressed the access button next to the unit door.

The doors of each unit in this kind of mid- to high-end residential complex are locked, and no one can enter without a key.

Soon, a kind voice came from the electronic access control and asked, "Who is it?"

"Hello Aunt Su, I'm the son of your former colleague, and I came to see you!"

"Former colleague?" Su Rumei asked again: "Which colleague?"

After she retired, she had been resting at home. Other colleagues with whom she had a close relationship went traveling, but she didn't want to move so she didn't go with them.

So I don’t know whose colleague’s son is downstairs, and why he didn’t greet me in advance?

Zhou Yun directly said the three words "Liu Meijuan", and then the electronic access control went silent, as if it was thinking.

It has been so many years, and if Zhou Yun hadn't brought it up today, Su Rumei would have forgotten that such a person existed.

When she remembered who it was, she opened the door lock and let Zhou Yun in.

Zhou Yun took the elevator upstairs and knocked on the security door.

Soon a woman in her fifties or almost sixty opened the door. Her hair was a little gray, but she did not look old. Although she was old, she still looked gentle. At first glance, she was a good-natured and kind angel in white.

In comparison, Zhou Yun felt that Liu Meijuan was simply a vicious woman with a heart as vicious as a scorpion! She was not even worthy of the title of "angel in white"!

Zhou Yun politely greeted, "Hello, Aunt Su. I'm sorry for coming over here without saying hello!"

"Come in, don't be so polite." Su Rumei smiled and welcomed them in. After seeing Zhou Yun and Xu Jiajia carrying many gift boxes of different sizes, she said embarrassedly, "It's enough for you two to come. Why bring so many things!"

"Thank you so much."

Zhou Yun and the others put down the boxes in their hands: "This is what we both deserve. Thank you Aunt Su for letting me go upstairs!"

Su Rumei asked them to sit in the living room and wait. She poured two cups of tea and put them down, then said, "I like to drink tea, so there is tea all over the house. Do you two mind?"

"No problem! Thank you, Aunt Su." Zhou Yun asked politely, "Aunt Su, how are you? Are you retiring this year?"

"Well, you've only been retired for a few months. How did you find me here?"

When Zhou Yun heard the other party asking him the question, he told the truth. Su Rumei was puzzled after hearing it.

She didn't know why Zhou Yun went to such great lengths to find her, so she asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? Is your mother okay? I remember she was younger than me, and we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years."

"She's fine, Aunt Su. I came to see you today because I wanted to ask you if you knew why my mother resigned."

Hearing that Zhou Yun wanted to ask her this, Su Rumei smiled and said, "Why don't you just ask your mother directly? Why are you asking me instead?"

"To be honest, Aunt Su, my relationship with my son is not good. And the reason why you ask this question is because it involves my life experience, so I want to find out."

Su Rumei frowned when she heard him say that. She had heard that Liu Meijuan and her husband were infertile and had adopted two children. She had always thought that they had a harmonious family and lived a happy life, but now it seemed that was not the case...

So Su Rumei thought about it and said to Zhou Yun, "Your mother resigned eighteen or nineteen years ago. At that time, we were both in the obstetrics and gynecology department. She resigned quite suddenly and none of us knew the reason."

"Everyone thought she was pregnant and went home to take care of the baby, but later I heard that she was infertile and couldn't give birth to a child..."

Zhou Yun listened carefully, and then asked, "Aunt Su, are you sure she didn't resign thirteen or fourteen years ago?"

According to Liu Meijuan, she resigned from her job after she and Zhou Ling were adopted.

"No." Su Rumei replied confidently: "She didn't resign three or four years ago, not that late!"

"Because I remember it very clearly. I went abroad to study that year and won an award. After I came back, I heard that she had resigned, so I didn't see her for the last time."

"Then Aunt Su, did anything else happen at that time?"

Su Rumei shook her head: "My memory is not very good. I don't remember what happened at that time. Besides, I have been studying abroad, so I don't know even more."

"But if you want to find out your background, you can go to the orphanage. There should be a record of you there!"

Zhou Yun sighed helplessly: "I've been there, I went to both welfare homes, but I didn't find any records about me."

"That's why I wanted to come over and ask you what happened. Liu Meijuan never told the truth and kept lying to us, which made me suspicious."

Su Rumei was also surprised to hear that the welfare home had no record of Zhou Yun: "This is unscientific. As long as you are in the welfare home, there must be a file, whether you were sent there or taken in, there should be one!"

"That's what I thought at the time, but the reality is that there is no record of me..."

Su Rumei showed a distressed look, sighed and said: "Don't worry, you are such a good child, God will definitely protect you."

"Think about this matter again, or go back and ask your mother carefully. Is she lying because she is afraid that you will leave her and look for your biological parents after you know it?"

Because she had never personally experienced a family falling out, Su Rumei didn't know how strained the relationship between Zhou Yun and Liu Meijuan was. She also thought that Liu Meijuan actually loved her son very much, after all, she was infertile...

Hearing that Su Rumei still thought kindly of Liu Meijuan, Zhou Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then told her a few of his own experiences.

When Su Rumei heard that Liu Meijuan could actually do such immoral things, she was also shocked!

After all, she and the other party were colleagues and had worked together for several years. She couldn't figure out why the other party did this...

But after thinking about it, she felt it was not too strange, because Liu Meijuan did not have a very good reputation among her colleagues in the hospital at the time.

At that time, everyone thought she was a difficult person to approach, had a bad temper, and was willing to argue. Several colleagues ignored her.

It turns out that some people are the same as they were when they were young, and they remain the same when they get old; their personality cannot be changed.

Su Rumei is also a mother. She loves her children and feels that no matter how much she gives, it is not enough. How can Liu Meijuan be so mean? Even if they are not her own children, she would not be so cruel, right?
