Chapter Five: Inquiry



"No... don't go..." Yang Mei quickly spoke up, stopping Li Qinghua, her face turning red again.

"Then..." What are you doing here? Li Qinghua looked at Yang Mei apologetically.

Yang Mei kept her head down and didn't say anything, while the two little ones stood there looking completely bewildered.

Song Lili was still excited and didn't hear it until Yang Mei nudged her. Only then did she look down from Zhang Qinghua's face and stare at Yang Mei with a puzzled expression.

Yang Mei glared at Song Lili angrily and said, "Lili brought me here to find someone."

Song Lili "..."

Why are you suddenly angry? Did she do anything wrong?

However, he quickly added, "Yes, yes, I'm here to find my big brother..."

But after saying that, Yang Mei got even angrier. "Lili, didn't you say you were going to find Fang Xiaoyu? How did it turn into you going to find your uncle? You lied to me?"

Yang Mei angrily punched Song Lili's arm, but there was no anger in her eyes, only a little discomfort in her heart. However, she couldn't really get angry, that would be petty.

Song Lili was embarrassed again. Could she say that was also an excuse? However, seeing Yang Mei's unpleasant expression, she swallowed her words and tacitly agreed. After all, she had lied.

Now that we've achieved our goal, let's not provoke Yangmei, who's about to explode. The important thing is to find out about Li Qinghua's situation first.

So when Li Qinghua said to Song Lili, "Then let Qinghua take you to find Uncle Yongren," she didn't refuse and happily agreed. She also didn't notice Yang Mei looking slightly awkward.

Song Lili's heart is now only filled with Zhang Qinghua, and she consciously blocks out everything around her.

She looked at Zhang Qinghua with bright, sparkling eyes, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Zhang Qinghua's expression was slightly stiff, and his neck felt numb as he barely managed to turn in Li Qinghua's direction.

Then I saw a hopeful look in Li Qinghua's eyes, as if to say, "Brother, please, take her with you."

As for their purpose, both of them knew exactly what it was.

Zhang Qinghua stared at Li Qinghua in silence for a long time before reluctantly giving in and turning to walk towards the courtyard behind the stage.

Li Qinghua gently nudged Song Lili with his finger, urging her to follow him. Song Lili smiled gratefully and followed behind Zhang Qinghua.

Before she had even moved ten meters away from Yang Mei and the others, Song Lili couldn’t wait to ask, “You’re Grandpa… uh, no, your name is Li Qinghua, right?” Song Lili decided to confirm again.

To be honest, it's quite stressful to call out this name in front of the real person!

After all, she used to call this person "Grandpa," and now that she's suddenly being asked to call him by his name, she'll need some time to adjust.

But if she directly called him "Grandpa," he'd probably think she was crazy. In the end, all she could say was this nonsensical phrase.

Zhang Qinghua was feeling a bit irritable and didn't even notice Song Lili's strange way of addressing him; he just reflexively hummed in response.

Hearing a definite answer, Song Lili was relieved and smiled foolishly, completely convinced that the person in front of her was Li Qinghua, her grandfather from her previous life.

Because Song Lili's grandfather passed away early, she had long forgotten what the other person looked like, and thus hastily made a decision based on a name.

Looking at the person in front of me, he is quite good-looking, tall, and in good spirits.

Zhang Qinghua didn't know what Song Lili was so happy about, but her smile seemed to have a magical power that he couldn't resist, which was also the reason for his irritation.

Feeling uncertain, Zhang Qinghua could only quicken his pace and walk rapidly into the yard.

He was thinking that he should find her as soon as possible and leave immediately. He always felt powerless and somewhat out of control when this girl was around.

Song Lili was unaware that Zhang Qinghua already had the idea of ​​distancing himself from her, and was still happily imagining the scene of bringing the two of them together in the future.

Her mind was filled with images of her future self, where she could win against many people without having to work hard, and the joy she felt was indescribable.

So, when Zhang Qinghua found Song Yongren and told him that Song Lili was looking for him, Song Yongren saw a girl with a silly grin.

Song Yongren glanced at his daughter with some surprise. Seeing that she had no reaction, he could only sigh helplessly and gently pat Song Lili on the shoulder.

My daughter has been acting strangely lately. She's either inexplicably angry or, like now, inexplicably giggling.

If he hadn't been certain his daughter wasn't mentally unstable, he would have taken her to see a doctor, fearing she might suddenly become mentally impaired.

And now this situation has happened again, sigh...

Song Lili was patted on the shoulder by Song Yongren, which suddenly snapped her out of her daze. She then instinctively asked, "Big Brother? What are you doing here?"

Then the air suddenly became quiet, followed by Song Yongren's helpless and heartbroken expression, and Zhang Qinghua's indescribable expression.

Song Lili suddenly snapped out of her daze, realized what she had said, and couldn't help but slap her own mouth. "This stupid mouth of mine, why did I say everything?"

Now you're in an awkward situation, aren't you? How are you going to smooth things over?

While Song Lili was still racking her brains, Zhang Qinghua said, "Uncle, you guys talk, I'll be going now." After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.

Song Lili hesitated, looking at Zhang Qinghua's retreating figure with some regret, wondering why he left so soon. She still had questions to ask!

Looking at the girl's resentful eyes, Song Yongren suddenly felt a pang of unease. This girl... something just didn't seem right.
