Chapter 47
Although this kind of scenery is a bit attractive to Zoe, who is used to seeing the scenery of big cities, a small city like Moon City will naturally feel bored after watching it for a long time. At this time, Zoe noticed that Ian's mood seemed to be not very high and she looked dull. Although Ian was in this state most of the time on weekdays, if she brought her friends back to her hometown alone, she should be dragging her to introduce her everywhere, not like this, like the entire Moon City, like a stranger.
Seeing this, Zoe seemed to remember that when he first met Ian, Ian seemed to be such a dead wood. He was not angry or taciturn. Everyone's personality is inseparable from his growth environment and growth experience. The reason why Ian became like this should be the problem in this Moon City. But Zoe couldn't ask, because if his own guess was correct, then the history of Moon City should not be so pleasant for Ian. Even if he is his best friend, I would probably be annoyed.
For a moment, the two people in the carriage fell into silence again. Fortunately, the carriage drove to the area where Ian lived. Originally, the Jacks and his wife were in this area, so the conditions should be quite acceptable, but since the adoption of Ian and Ian was a half-orc, they could only live in a relatively remote place, barely maintaining their lives, and there was almost no one around. It was precisely because of this that Ian jumped out of the car.
Before the two walked, Ian saw the familiar wooden house, which was still so dilapidated, but there was a little fresh thatch on the roof. The exterior of the wooden house seemed to have been reinforced and a lot of new wooden boards were added. Around the house, some poultry appeared, and the fields in the backyard seemed to have been expanded, with some green vegetables planted inside. Although the conditions still looked very simple, it was much better than when Ian was there.
Seeing all this, Ian couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that leaving was indeed the right choice, whether for himself or for the Jacks. Because of his choice, he lived a completely different life than before. Because of his departure, the Jacks and his wife gradually became richer. To be honest, Ian was not willing to disturb them, but in order to find out the news about his biological parents, Ian could only disturb him again.
Ian walked in front, and Zoe followed Ian obediently without saying a word. Do you look at the surrounding environment? Judging from Ian's various performances, Ian should have grown up here when he was a child. However, Zoe was a little unbelievable. In their eyes, Ian was a super genius, but such a super genius was born and grew up in such an environment. No matter what the starting point or anything, they were much lower than them. But even those who grew up in such an environment left them, such geniuses with excellent conditions, far behind them.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Who?"
Ian gently knocked on the wooden door, and inside the house, there was a sound that made Ian familiar but unfamiliar. About three seconds later, the wooden door was opened, and a woman in a cloth dress appeared inside, holding a two or three-year-old child in her hand. After the woman saw Ian's face, she frowned, obviously not recognizing Ian as soon as possible.
There is no problem with this. When Ian left, she was still young. After years of growth, Ian's appearance has long been no longer the young master of the past, but a cool boy. After all, Ian is not the other party's biological child, so it is normal that it cannot be recognized. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Jacks and his wife seem to have their own children.
"Mom...Ms. Dina, I'm Ian, I'm here this time..."
Ian subconsciously wanted to call out the title of mother, but Ian remembered that it was because of herself that Jack and his wife lived in such a poor life, and they had no face to shout this sentence for a while. However, after Ian said her name, Dina suddenly showed a surprised expression and screamed in surprise.
"Oh my god, are you Ian? Are you really Ian? You have grown up so old? God bless you, you look healthy."
When Dina saw Ian, she also felt that the boy in front of her looked familiar. After Ian's reminder, she immediately recognized that this was the child they adopted back then. For a moment, Dina couldn't help but stretch out her hand, touched Ian's face, and then looked at Ian's figure carefully. She found that Ian did not look pale and thin, but tall and powerful, looked very well developed, and had good nutrition. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dina was not Ian's biological mother, she had raised Ian for so many years.
You should know that when Ian left sensibly, Dina was sad for a long time. Now that she saw that her former child was back, Dina would naturally be a little excited.
"Dear, who is here?"
Just as Dina looked at Ian carefully, a man's voice came from the room, which was Ian's adoptive father, Jack.
"Husband, come out quickly, Ian is back, come and see you! Ian is back."
"What? Ian is back?"
After hearing the voice of his wife, a ping-pong sound came from the room. Ian saw another familiar face, Jack, who was almost forty years old, with a blue stubble on his face. It seemed that he did not mean to take care of his makeup carefully.
The upper body is still a familiar and faded vest, but Jack's bulging muscles have some sagging, and his belly, which was originally eight-pack abs, has now begun to have some fat. Although he looks a little older, his complexion is much rosy than before. It seems that Jack has lived a pretty good life over the years.
After Jack ran to the door, he looked at Ian and said:
"You kid is back. It's rare. I thought you would never come back in your life. Tell me, what are you doing for this time? I'll just say it first. If you are here to ask for money, then leave."
