Chapter 216: An Old Friend from Twelve Years Ago 3_1
"What happened? Why is Zhilan crying?" Mina was a bit confused, He Zhilan was sobbing while she spoke so much of her words were a bit muddled, and Mina didn’t fully understand. Consequently, she was concerned and mostly baffled by He Zhilan’s sudden emotional breakdown.
Tan Heshu sighed, then explained, "The girl in the photo is her, but now she can’t find her home."
Then he started to comfort He Zhilan, "I really didn’t expect to meet again under these circumstances after so many years. Don’t worry, you’ve already waited twelve years, someday you will find your home. Rest assured, I will do my best to help you, to contact Lan Lin’s family."
Although he said this, Tan Heshu also knew in his heart, it would be very difficult to find them. He, too, had lost contact with Lan Lin a long time ago. Back then, there were no phones, and even their mailing addresses had become invalid. Now to find them, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, seeing He Zhilan crying to the point of breathlessness, Tan Heshu thought, no matter how hard, he couldn’t give up helping her. After all, it seemed to be her only hope.
"Is Lan Lin my cousin? From my uncle’s side of the family?" He Zhilan’s voice choked with sobs. "Can I keep this photo?"
"You can keep it!" Mina readily agreed with a nod of her head. Although she couldn’t comprehend the pain of being unable to find one’s home, she could feel the sadness that weighed heavily on the girl beside her. It was so heavy that it brought tears to even her eyes.
