Chapter 285 Discovery
As she spoke, she stood straight but glanced at Li Wenxi from time to time, feeling more and more depressed. Li Wenxi wore a long camel coat and her long black hair was tied up with a wide black cloth headband, looking simple and generous. She didn't wear any jewelry, just a watch on her hand, but even with such a simple dress, she felt an unconcealable aura.
Li Yanli suddenly felt that her golden mink coat and a set of jewelry seemed very rustic in front of Li Wenxi. She thought again, if she was as young as her, she could dress casually and look so good. When she thought about it, she felt better.
But Li Wenxi was shocked at the moment. She recognized Li Yanli as the mother in the photo of Wang Erhu the first time she saw her.
Li Wenxi had a good memory since she was a child. Moreover, she had glued the broken photo together for a long time. She was very familiar with the face of the woman in the photo. In addition to their similar appearance, they both had a mole in the same position of their right eye.
She thought there was no such coincidence in the world. She looked at Han Yi and asked in a low voice, "Is this your sister-in-law?"
Han Yi saw the slight shock on her face and thought she was shocked that Li Yanli was dressed too nouveau riche, so he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, it's her. But you don't have to care about her. She is just like that, rude and without any quality. We won't have much contact with her in the future."
Li Yanli saw Li Wenxi looking at her so frequently and felt that Li Wenxi must be intimidated by her elegant appearance today. This made her original guilty heart immediately turn into complacency, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She subconsciously adjusted her mink coat and gently touched her shining earrings with her fingers. She looked proud and noble again.
Fang Shufen felt that she couldn't bear to look at her eldest daughter-in-law like this, so she turned her head away and listened to Grandpa Han and Li Hongbin talking.
Grandpa Han picked up the teacup and asked casually, "Hongbin, which 'Bin' are you? Where did you grow up when you were a child?"
Li Hongbin smiled and replied, "'Bin' means both civil and military. I grew up in H when I was a child, but later I moved away for some special reasons."
Grandpa Han's hand trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Li Hongbin again, as if he was looking for some traces of the past on his face. After a pause, he looked at Li Yanli and said, "Yanli, go to the kitchen and see how lunch is prepared. Don't keep the guests waiting for too long."
Li Yanli heard Grandpa Han's order. Although she didn't want to leave at this moment, she felt in her heart that grandpa was intentionally letting her show her master's manner. Immediately, a smug smile appeared on her face. "Okay, grandpa, I'll go right away." She straightened her collar, raised her chin slightly, and walked briskly towards the kitchen.
When Li Yanli's back completely disappeared at the door, Grandpa Han put down the teacup, his eyes still staring at Li Hongbin, and his voice became deeper: "Hongbin, what are your parents' names?"
Li Hongbin was a little surprised why Grandpa Han asked this, but still answered calmly: "My father's name is Li Yonghe, and my mother's name is Chen Sufen. They both died when I was very young."
Grandpa Han's hand suddenly tightened, and the force of holding the teacup almost made the cup make a slight sound.
"Yonghe...Sufen..." Grandpa Han's voice trembled slightly. He held Li Hongbin's hand and said excitedly: "Binbin, I am your Uncle Han. Do you still remember me?"
Li Hongbin was stunned, staring at Grandpa Han's face, as if he was back to his childhood. The image of the resolute soldier in his memory gradually became clear. He said hesitantly: "You, you are Uncle Han? Uncle Han who was injured in my house when I was six years old?"
Grandpa Han nodded and laughed a little choked: "Yes, Binbin, I didn't expect to see you again."
When the Han general heard this, he took a breath of cool air and looked at everything in front of him in shock. He knew who the "Binbin" his father was talking about: "Wait...Binbin? Didn't they say that Binbin is dead? Then Li Yanli, who is Li Yanli?" General Han was shocked and could hardly speak.
