Li Jiahua said blankly, "I...I don't know. I haven't met him yet, and I still feel unwilling to give up."
Wen Xi raised his eyes to look at the door and said lightly, "It's okay, you will be able to see it soon."
Li Jiahua's heartbeat quickened. "What do you mean?"
Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door outside, and everyone looked at the door in surprise.
"Excuse me, is there anyone inside? I'm a descendant of the Li family and I wanted to come back and take a look."
"Grandpa, this place has been abandoned for a long time. No one should live here. I've told you, it's better to go back to the hotel and stay there until we contact the rest of the Li family."
"That's not right. Why do I feel like there's someone inside? Girl, are you lying to me?"
"Hiss... Grandpa, please don't scare me at night. There's no one here. It looks like a haunted house..."
Crunch!
The door opened automatically, and the young girl was so frightened that she almost jumped away.
"Shit! Is this really a ghost?"
When the door opened, Li Jiahua saw a white-haired old man standing next to a young girl with permed and dyed blonde hair. He could vaguely see a bit of Li Jiajun's shadow in their looks.
"Is that the sound of the door opening? Ni'er, I heard it. Is there someone living in there? I said that although I can't see, my hearing is still pretty good."
"Yes...yes, damn, I thought there was a ghost, but luckily there looks like someone is inside."
Li Jie'er leaned in closer and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw real people inside. Her eyes lit up when she saw Wen Jinyu and Qin Anhe, and she pointed at them excitedly, "You're actors, right? I've seen the movies you acted in before. Could it be that you're filming here?"
Wen Jinyu nodded with difficulty, "I guess so!"
"Wow, did we disturb you?"
Li Jie'er was a little excited, but also a little embarrassed to go in.
Wen Xi said meaningfully, "No, you came at the right time."
Li Jie'er was confused, "Huh?"
"Filming?"
Grandpa Li walked in with the help of a cane. His eyes were pale and he could only grope his way inside with the cane. He was holding something in his other arm, so he walked very slowly.
Li Jiahua seemed to be attracted by something. He stood up and floated in front of Grandpa Li, staring at him with tearful eyes.
"Huh?"
Grandpa Li shouted in surprise and stopped. "Who are you? Are you also filming here? But I don't think this aura is right. Do you know anyone from the Li family? Is there anyone from the Li family here?"
"grandfather!"
Li Jie'er was shocked to see her grandfather suddenly stop talking to the air.
Li Jiahua's cold voice penetrated the air and reached his ears. "I am a member of the Li family. Tell me what you want."
Grandpa Li was stunned for a moment, then a warm smile appeared on his weathered face. "So you're from the Li family? No wonder you feel so familiar. We're actually family. May I ask which generation of the Li family you're from?"
Li Jiahua said calmly, "I'm the fifth-generation adopted son of the Li family, ranked by my family name. You probably don't know me because I was adopted by the Li family, so I'm not listed in the family tree."
Grandpa Li was struck by lightning, muttering, "What? Family name? Adopted son? Could it be that everything Grandfather said before... was true? But... shouldn't you have passed away?"
Li Jiahua said quietly, "Yes, I am dead, but my soul still stays in the Li family. I am here...waiting for someone. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Grandpa Li took two steps back, his face a little dazed, not out of fear, but surprise. "My grandfather used to tell me a story, a story from the older generation. I always thought he made it up, but I didn't expect it to be true..."
"Who is your grandfather?"
Li Jiahua asked excitedly, "Is that Li Jiajun? Is that my big brother?"
Grandpa Li pondered for a moment and sighed. "Since you can mention Li Jiajun's name, it seems that you really are the protagonist in my grandfather's story. In fact, Li Jiajun is my great-grandfather. He passed away long ago. I wasn't even born then. I never saw him in person. I only heard about him... and your story from my grandfather."
Li Jiahua's face was covered in tears, and his lips were trembling. "Does he... still remember me?"
"It's more than just remembering. I came back this time to fulfill his last wish. He once told my grandfather to bring his ashes back after his death and bury them in the Li family mansion. He once promised someone that he would come back for him, but unfortunately, he broke his promise and never did. He only hoped that he could rest in peace with him after his death. At that time, my grandfather didn't understand him and thought he had betrayed my great-grandmother, so he held a grudge against him. Even when he had the opportunity to return to the country to deal with this matter, he always put it aside."
Grandpa Li said, "Only before my grandfather died did he shed a tear, saying he shouldn't have been obsessed with the past, leaving great-grandfather's last wish unfulfilled. He died with regret, and so this mission was entrusted to me. However, I've been living abroad for years and rarely come back. This time... I can finally fulfill my great-grandfather's wish on his behalf."
As he spoke, Grandpa Li fumbled to take out the urn he was carrying and handed it to Li Jiahua.
"This is my great-grandfather's urn. Since you are the one he is waiting for, I will hand it over to you."
Grandpa Li solemnly handed the urn to Li Jiahua. Li Jiahua couldn't stop crying, his hands were shaking, and he was a little afraid to take the urn.
Li Jiahua murmured, "I never expected that the scene of our next meeting would be like this..."
Li Jie'er was so scared that she almost cried. First, she heard Grandpa Li talking to the air, and then Qin Anhe and others remained calm. She was terrified.
When she saw the urn hanging in the air, her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted, but was supported by the crew members.
Li Jiahua's eyes revealed infinite love. He seemed to have returned to his youth, wearing a red dress. He slowly opened the urn and found that in addition to the ashes, there was also a white letter hidden inside.
He took out the letter and unfolded it nervously. The handwriting inside was so blurry that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
But Li Jiahua seemed to be able to clearly see what was written on it. Tears flowed down his face, and the sadness and hostility between his brows gradually dissipated. A happy and peaceful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Brother, it turns out you didn't break your promise. You wanted to come back to find me. I didn't wait for you for so many years in vain. I'm so glad..."
With a sigh, the evil spirit aura of Li Jiahua disappeared, his resentment was greatly reduced, and his long hair that originally dragged on the ground was tied up, returning to his youthful appearance.
