Chapter 387: I've Met This Uncle
Su Man knew that every Friday was the day off for Li Xuan's school.
Every Friday, Old Li would take Old Madam Xiao to the Xiao family's ancestral temple built in the suburbs to burn incense. The time for burning incense was always at 5:30.
This trip back and forth delayed Mr. Li's time to pick up Li Xuan from school.
These are the patterns that Su Man observed when she was still the young lady of the Xiao family.
Some things are just like that; you can't ask directly. No one will tell you everything and teach you how to act. So you can only rely on your own observation and observation.
As for the fact that Li Xuan would wait for Lao Li at school, it was also Su Man's observation and speculation.
Sure enough, when I came to try my luck today, I ran into her.
In fact, Su Man met Li Xuan by chance.
At that time, Su Man heard that there was a very popular old-fashioned pastry shop here that inherited the craftsmanship, so she came here to try it.
That day, I happened to see a little girl who was almost hit by a car while crossing the road.
The little girl fell to the ground, and the car owner who almost hit her immediately got out of the car and pointed at the little girl and cursed her.
The car blocked the passing traffic.
The car owner's verbal abuse also attracted passers-by.
When everyone saw this, they all thought that the little girl was at fault and started pointing fingers at her.
This was the first time the little girl had encountered such a thing.
First I was frightened, then I was ashamed.
I stood there stupidly, my face flushed and I cried, completely forgetting to get up.
Su Man's car was always close to the car owner, and she saw clearly what happened just now.
She immediately got out of the car, helped the little girl up, and argued with the car owner.
When the car owner heard that Su Man was going to call the traffic police, he immediately became timid and cursed that calling the traffic police would not be enough to compensate the kid. He also said shamelessly that he would not bother with a little kid.
However, when Suman said that her dashcam recorded that he was about to hit the little girl, she wanted to call the police, not to compensate him, but to see if he was going to compensate the little girl.
The man immediately changed his attitude and begged Su Man to let him go.
The people around saw what had happened and started to curse the man.
Finally, Suman asked the little girl for her consent and let the matter go.
But before letting the man leave, Su Man asked him to apologize to the little girl.
That time, Su Man waved goodbye to the little girl, thinking that she would never meet this little girl again, and also thinking that this was just an ordinary day of helping others when she saw injustice.
Until one day later.
Xiao Beisheng asked Lao Li to bring Su Man over to buy the cake she wanted to eat. Lao Li asked Su Man, saying that his daughter went to school here and it happened to be time to get out of school that day. Could he make an exception and bring some autumn and winter clothes for his daughter? It was a change of seasons and he was worried that his daughter would have nothing to wear at school.
Suman agreed readily.
When they picked up Lao Li's daughter, they were surprised to find that Lao Li's daughter was actually the little girl that Su Man had helped on the road before.
Li Xuan recognized Su Man immediately and kept thanking her.
It was because of this incident that Suman won over Lao Li and made Lao Li willing to be loyal to Suman.
But Suman also knew.
When water is full, it overflows.
Once or twice was just a coincidence, it was because the Suman people were kind and benevolent.
Three or four times, in Lao Li's eyes, Su Man had ulterior motives and was trying to find Lao Li's weakness and threaten him.
If this degree is not grasped well, the facts that Lao Li sees will be completely different.
If Su Man wants to ask Lao Li for help this time, she has to go through Li Xuan and use a skillful method.
"Xuanxuan troubles you every time." Old Li felt a little sorry.
"I just thought Xuanxuan was cute." Su Man said with a smile, "Please sit down. It's not too late to leave after Xuanxuan finishes her cake."
Old Li obediently sat down next to Xuanxuan.
"By the way, if I hadn't met you today, I would have wanted to ask you something when I go to the old house for class next week."
Although Suman said so.
But in fact, every time Su Man went to the old house, she had little chance to meet Lao Li face to face.
Every time I really want to ask something, I have to be wary of the Xiao family.
This is also not friendly to Lao Li's work.
Old Li rubbed his hands. "What's the matter? It's just the right time to ask now. It's the same if you ask here."
Su Man got to the point: "Last time you told me that among the people the Yu family brought, there was someone from my aunt's family? Are you 100% sure? Who is it? Do you know?"
"You didn't ask me before, so I thought this information was useless to you. Coincidentally, I even took a photo of that person."
Old Li said this and took out his cell phone.
After searching through the photo album for a while, I finally showed it to Suman.
"It's this guy, look at him. I've seen him eavesdropping on you and the old lady several times. Every time you go to pick up the kids from the old lady, he'll find some excuse to leave the table, either to smoke or to go to the bathroom, and then hide at the doorway, eavesdropping on your conversation. As he did this so often, I started to notice him.
"One time, I sent those people home at night and made a special trip to leave him alone until the end. He didn't go home, but went to the bar. I heard him bragging to others that he was the nephew of Shen Qing, the mistress of the Shen family in Haicheng. When I heard that, I thought, isn't this your relative! But if he is your relative, why did he meet you as if he didn't know you and even pry into your privacy? I felt that there was something wrong with him."
The photo shows a man in his early thirties or late forties.
The kind that is ordinary among the crowd.
"I've never met this so-called relative at my aunt's house. The Yu family and Luo Yan brought a lot of friends, but I have basically no impression of this person." Su Man shook her head.
Old Li asked, "You're asking about this. Is there something going on with your aunt? I haven't seen her for a long time."
Ever since Su Man negotiated with Xiao Beisheng last time, asking him not to bring any random people back to the old house, there have been basically no small gatherings at the old house.
Old Li never had the chance to see those people again.
"It's a bit troublesome." Su Man muttered to herself for a while.
"How about asking Mr. Xiao for help?"
Su Man glanced at Lao Li. Lao Li thought of their special relationship and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
But in fact, Su Man also thought of asking Xiao Beisheng just now.
After all, he was the one who brought all the people here.
If you want to find a breakthrough, you can only start with Xiao Beisheng.
Su Man sent this photo to Xiao Beisheng:
[Are you busy? I have something to ask you. This person was at the party at the old house before. Do you know him? Who is he?]
It took almost ten minutes for Xiao Beisheng to reply:
[Do you think I'm so idle that I know everyone? ]
Su Man: [Oh. I guessed it. Just trying my luck. It doesn't matter if I don't know him.]
Xiao Beisheng never replied to the message again.
Su Man put down her phone and fell into deep thought.
It’s actually not difficult to find someone.
The difficulty lies in how to get what you want from the other person.
Li Xuan, who was eating cake on the other end, saw the photo on the phone and exclaimed, "Huh?"
"I've seen this uncle before. He's Xiaoyue's father! He was the one who took Xiaoyue to the hospital last time."
