Chapter 687: Pleasing His Brother-in-law

The moment he approached the river, Han Luofan smelled a pungent smell.

However, even though the river was so smelly that people did not dare to breathe, there were still people with swollen feet who were searching for usable items in the rubbish in the river.

You would feel nauseous if you saw this scene, but it was a habitat that many people relied on to survive.

Han Luofan had never heard of anything he had seen or heard today.

He stood by the river, his face pale.

Thinking about how Ji Yue and Ji Yinbing had lived in such a dark, dirty and inhumane place all those years ago, Han Luofan’s heart ached. Compared to them, he, who clearly had a good life but still blamed everyone, looked especially ungrateful.

Han Luofan resisted the urge to cover his nose and not smell the stench. He tilted his head and looked at the calm Ji Yinbing. He asked her, “You used to live in such a place?”

“Yes.”

Ji Yinbing casually pointed at a house and said to Han Luofan, “The woman you’re talking about is locked in such a small house and has lived there for more than ten years. Even though she’s been bullied day and night, and is sometimes not mentally sound, but she has never given up on survival.”

“Perhaps that this “average” woman was indeed a little foolish and sweet when she was young. She was a little naive and ignorant, but she was braver than any woman I’ve seen. She was greater than anyone who dared to struggle on the verge of death for more than ten years in such a place!”

Ji Yinbing looked straight at Han Luofan’s pale face and said, “She hanged herself after I escaped from the slums and found someone to rely on. She gritted her teeth and lived to see the day I obtained a new life.”

At this point, Ji Yinbing suddenly fell silent.

Han Luofan fell completely silent.

He was suddenly very glad that he did not bring his father along. If his father came here to take a walk, he would probably live in guilt and longing for his mother for the rest of his life. Han Luofan thought about what he had said that day and felt that he was a bastard.

He wiped his face hard and asked Ji Yinbing, “Where is she buried?”

Ji Yinbing shook her head and said, “I don’t know the exact location.”

She actually did not know where her mother was buried?

Seeing Han Luofan’s puzzled look, Yan Nuo quickly explained for Ji Yinbing. “When her mother died, Bingbing was only ten years old. Only her father knows where her mother buried her. We also went to that piece of land to take a look, but we didn’t find a tombstone. I think her father didn’t set up a tombstone for her mother.”

That man probably treated Ji Yue as a wild cat or dog and dug a hole to bury her.

Han Luofan nodded with heartache and said, “It seems like I have to find that man.”

Ji Yinbing frowned. She did not want to see that man again, but in order to find out where her mother was buried, she could only make a trip.

“Let’s go back first.”

…

When he returned to the Yan family, Han Luofan ate the local cuisine for dinner.

To be honest, the dishes in India were really not delicious. Han Luofan was not even full. When he returned to his room, he sent a WeChat message to Han Bing to inform him that he was safe. Han Luofan was about to take a shower when he received a video call request from Han Bing. After hesitating for a moment, Han Luofan still accepted the video call.

Han Bing was sitting in the study in his pajamas. In the video, he was sitting upright with a firm expression. It was obvious that he was a good official in China.

At the thought that this man had hugged him and cried once a few days ago, Han Luofan could not be afraid of him.

Han Bing stared at Han Luofan’s clothes and said, “It’s quite hot?”

“Yes, it’s quite hot at night.” Han Luofan pointed the camera at the air conditioner and said, “I’ve even turned on the air conditioner.”

Han Bing nodded.

The father and son chatted about other things and tacitly avoided mentioning Ji Yue’s matter. Han Luofan sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll bring Mother’s remains back. Don’t worry.”

Han Bing’s expression turned serious as he told him, “You must bring them back.”

“Ok.”

In the end, Han Luofan did not tell Han Bing what he had seen and heard in the slums today. After hanging up the video call, Han Luofan took a shower and lay on the bed, feeling very hungry. He had to return to the country as soon as possible, or he would starve to death. In the middle of the night, Han Luofan really could not sleep. Seeing that the lights were on downstairs, he took his cigarette box and lighter and ran downstairs, planning to smoke two cigarettes in the backyard.

Han Luofan had just arrived at the first floor when he smelled the fragrance of food. Han Luofan was stunned for a moment before walking towards the kitchen. He saw his brother-in-law and his sister in the kitchen, hugging each other as they fried rice. Even the rice had to be fried while hugging each other. This dog abuse…

Hearing the commotion, Ji Yinbing tilted her head and looked over.

Seeing Han Luofan and noticing that he was holding a cigarette in his hand, Ji Yinbing thought that he was frightened by the scenes from the day. Little did she know that her brother was actually hungry. Ji Yinbing was a little surprised and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Han Luofan put down the cigarette box and strode to the kitchen. He stared at the pot and had a strange expression. “Beef? Didn’t you say that the people of India don’t eat beef?”

Ji Yinbing said, “I eat it.”

Han Luofan looked at Yan Nuo again and could not help but praise him. “Not bad. You can cook.”

Yan Nuo was about to be happy when he heard Ji Yinbing say, “He only knows how to cook fried rice.”

“Oh,” Han Luofan added. “I even know how to make tomato scrambled eggs.”

Yan Nuo told Han Luofan expressionlessly, “There are eggs and no tomatoes here.” After he finished speaking, he realized that his reaction was too cold and added kindly, “If you want to eat, get the servants to buy it tomorrow.”

“Yes.” Han Luofan would rather eat a plate of tomato scrambled eggs than eat Indian food.

He smelled the fragrance and asked Yan Nuo shamelessly, “Is there anything else? Can you give me a bowl too?”

Yan Nuo immediately thought of what Fang Yusheng had said.

Be good to your brother-in-law…

He nodded quickly and said, “And wait a minute.”

After Han Luofan left, Yan Nuo scooped the fried beef fried rice for Ji Yinbing and made another serving for Han Luofan.

Han Luofan only took one bite before he was so touched that tears streamed down his face. He patted his chest and praised Yan Nuo, “Yan Nuo, not bad! You’re very good. I think very highly of you. In the future, if you have any requests, as long as you ask and as long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate.”

Yan Nuo raised his eyebrows and felt that it was really easy to settle his future brother-in-law with a plate of fried rice. In any case, this was an unexpected surprise.

Ji Yinbing, who had overheard their conversation, gave Yan Nuo a faint smile.

Yan Nuo smiled and remained silent.

The next morning, after breakfast, Yan Nuo and the other two went to the Dharavi slum. Ji Yinbing had not returned to her home for many years. As she walked in the alley, she was surprised to discover that this place did not change much from when she had left back then.
