Chapter 455 Is it my father, or did I recognize the wrong person?
The two of them then began to act separately.
I searched every store, but because it was the weekend, there were too many people and it was difficult to find someone among so many people.
After searching more than a dozen stores and finding nothing, Jiang Yao became a little discouraged.
Coming out of the store, a figure happened to walk out of the men's clothing store opposite and said, "Welcome to visit us next time."
"Thank you." The man's voice was gentle and polite.
Jiang Yao's heart moved.
As if she had a premonition, she suddenly looked up and saw the familiar back of the man leaving.
"Wait a moment!"
Jiang Yao chased after him without thinking.
However, the figure in front did not even look back and turned to walk another way.
Jiang Yao quickened her pace to catch up, but at this moment, she did not notice a child coming towards her in front.
The two sides collided with each other.
The child fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Jiang Yao finally came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, little friend, are you okay?"
She wanted to reach out and help him.
At this time, the child's parents came over and picked up the child from the ground. "I'm sorry, it's my child who was ignorant and bumped into this lady. I apologize to you on his behalf."
"It's okay, as long as he's okay." Jiang Yao was a little absent-minded.
The other party did not blame her, so Jiang Yao chased forward again.
Unfortunately, because of the delay just now, the man had already disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Yao supported his knees with his hands, standing there panting.
Could it be that there is no fate between them?
We met twice in a row, but we didn't get to see each other.
Although she didn't see the profile clearly this time, the premonition in her heart became stronger.
It’s just a pity…
She met Li Beiting in a depressed mood.
Li Beiting didn't say much, but just gently held her in his arms, and patted her back again and again with his big hands, as if he was coaxing a child.
With his silent comfort, Jiang Yao's emotions gradually calmed down.
It seems that as long as he is by my side, no difficulty is a problem.
Li Beiting said gently, "Okay, you've been running all morning, you must be hungry. I know there's a new restaurant nearby that serves spicy food, which you like. Let's go try it!"
Sometimes delicious food can also help to relieve your mood.
Jiang Yao did not refuse and followed him to the restaurant obediently.
After finding a private room to sit down, Li Beiting ordered eight dishes, desserts and drinks.
While waiting for the food to be served, she told Li Beiting how she almost found her father.
Li Beiting narrowed his eyes after hearing this, as if thinking about something, "What a coincidence..."
"What?" Jiang Yao didn't understand what he meant.
Li Beiting thought for a moment and said, "I mean, that child's appearance was too coincidental."
The tacit understanding between the two of them made her immediately understand what the other person meant. "Do you think someone deliberately arranged for that child to block me, just to prevent me and my father from meeting?"
"Of course, it may be that I am overthinking it." Li Beiting couldn't say too much.
Jiang Yao held his chin and thought carefully.
Although she ran very fast at that time, there were not many people in that place, and the chance of the child appearing was even smaller.
If that was intentional, it's kind of creepy.
"Don't think too much about it for now. Let's check the surveillance footage of that street later." Li Beiting patted the back of her hand soothingly.
Just at this moment, the food was served, which was delicious and fragrant.
Jiang Yao did not let Li Beiting down and began to enjoy the food.
It was almost half past twelve when Jiang Yao and Li Beiting came out one after another after they finished eating, and the man went to the front desk to pay the bill.
Jiang Yao's eyes casually swept around the store, but she froze the next second.
Sitting by the window was a thin, handsome middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. There were a few strands of white hair in his temples, but he didn't look old at all. Instead, he had a bit of elegant charm.
He looks about 70% like his father in the photo when he was young.
This time she finally saw him, and she was not mistaken.
But even though he was so close, she suddenly became so nervous that her whole body was trembling, and she no longer had the courage to go forward and ask.
Until Li Beiting grabbed the hand at his side.
Li Beiting then asked the front desk clerk, "Did the gentleman in the second row by the window make a reservation and register his information? What's his name?"
The waiter was startled when he heard this, then flipped through the registration records on the computer and said, "That gentleman made a reservation in advance, but only registered his last name and mobile phone number."
"Give me his registered surname and number." Li Beiting immediately ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Li." The waiter quickly handed him a printed paper.
Jiang Yao was a little surprised watching this operation. He leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Waiters these days are so obedient. If you ask for information, they will give it to you."
Li Beiting chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Is it possible that it's because I invested in this restaurant and am half the owner?"
Jiang Yao: "..."
If you have money you can do whatever you want!
But then she looked down at the information on the paper and found that the man's surname was Xiao.
But her father clearly didn't have this surname.
What is going on here?
"With these two key pieces of information, my investigation network can find out all his identity and background information."
Li Beiting lowered his voice, "It's okay if you don't have the courage to face him now. Once his identity is confirmed, it won't be too late to meet him later."
It turned out that this was his idea.
Jiang Yao's heart suddenly became extremely soft.
The nervousness and anxiety are gradually dissipating.
She suddenly had unlimited courage.
Under Li Beiting's gaze, she walked step by step to the window seat.
"Hello, can I have a seat?"
She smiled and took the initiative to speak: "My surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Yao."
The elegant man slowly raised his head upon hearing this, and glanced at her face twice, with a look of complete unfamiliarity in his eyes.
Even when he heard the name Jiang Yao, he did not waver at all.
"No other seats in the restaurant?"
Jiang Yao was also stunned when he saw his reaction.
If he doesn't recognize his daughter's appearance when she grows up, does that mean he doesn't even know her name?
But she heard from her grandparents that the name Jiang Yao was given to her by her father.
"Don't you know me?" she asked again to confirm.
The elegant man frowned: "Should I know you?"
Because of his outstanding appearance, even though he is old, he has encountered many women who approached him.
But the girl in front of him was a little different. The way she looked at him didn't seem like she was interested in him, but like... she was looking at an important person.
The thought flashed through his mind, and a deep thought flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Yao's heart was sinking.
Could it be that she recognized the wrong person?
