"Shall we go over there?" Xiao Qing said.
"Let’s wait for another five minutes, okay?"
Xiao Qing didn’t know what he was waiting for, so she quietly waited, thinking a few minutes wouldn’t make much difference.
Two minutes passed, and a woman appeared in their sight. When Xiao Qing saw the woman’s face, her pupils suddenly contracted—it was her!
There was no mistaking it; the woman looked exactly like the one in the photo, even the shape of the scar matched.
Xiao Qing abruptly looked at Lu Jinyang, casting him a questioning look, but Lu Jinyang didn’t acknowledge her and gestured for her to look.
Following his gaze, she saw a man trailing behind the woman. Wherever she went, he would follow. The woman seed annoyed, stopped to glare at him angrily, then continued walking, with the man still following, repeating this cycle...
For so reason, watching the bickering pair made Xiao Qing’s eyes feel warm.
Those were her biological parents, parents she dared to see but not recognize...
Not knowing how long she watched, Lu Jinyang suddenly took her hand and led her towards the couple. She was incredibly surprised, yet she had no desire to oppose his action.
They ca to stand before Xiao Yiting, watching his petrified expression. Xiao Qing felt calm inside: "Uncle~"
"Jinyang, Qingqing, what brings you here?" Although Xiao Yiting called out both nas, his gaze was fixed solely on Lu Jinyang.
Receiving his gaze, Lu Jinyang knew he was being questioned, but he didn’t plan to pay attention to it. Instead, like Xiao Qing, he called out, "Uncle~"
Xiao Yiting was helpless, not sure what Lu Jinyang was planning, so he had to agree.
"Uncle, Qingqing and I are planning to invest in building a school here, but the person in charge had an ergency and couldn’t make it. Since we’re not familiar with this place, could we sit at your place for a while?"
This was said by Xiao Qing, and her words flowed so smoothly that Lu Jinyang looked at her with newfound admiration.
Xiao Yiting glanced at the woman beside him, taking a long ti before saying, "Okay~" Then, ignoring the woman’s protests, pulled her along.
Xiao Qing and Lu Jinyang followed behind them, watching Xiao Yiting whispering sothing to the woman. The two exchanged a glance and shared a slight smile.
The mont she saw the woman and Xiao Yiting, Lu Jinyang’s purpose for bringing her here beca instantly clear. She wasn’t soone who’d hesitate, so she went along with Lu Jinyang and let her heart guide her, thinking it would be good to spend more ti with them, even if it was just an hour.
Xiao Yiting led them to a house, although a bit old, it was clean and tidy, spotless.
"Anqi, could you boil a pot of water for us?"
Anqi~
Xiao Qing looked over, eting her gaze, then quickly looked away, heart racing.
Zhang Anqi turned to glance at Xiao Yiting, then headed to the kitchen.
Xiao Qing asked, "Uncle, when did you co here? When I saw you earlier, I thought I was mistaken." Being an actress, such conversations ca effortlessly to her.
Beside her, Lu Jinyang remained expressionless, but inwardly applauded her.
Xiao Yiting smiled sowhat awkwardly, "A coincidence, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you more later."
"Alright."
Soon, Zhang Anqi brought over the boiling water, and said in a mild tone, "We usually don’t have guests, so we haven’t prepared any tea. Please make do with this."
