Yun Duoduo nodded. Although she had many questions, she still greeted Ye Wenyue and the others and went back to the shop first.
Watching Yun Duoduo's retreating figure, the Li family members were filled with utter disappointment; they had hoped to say a few more words to their sister.
For some reason, even though they also had a younger sister, their feelings were different when they saw Yun Duoduo.
It's unclear whether it's because Li Sijie didn't grow up with them or because their personalities don't mesh well, but the brothers' relationship with Li Sijie isn't particularly close.
Occasionally, when the brothers are together, it's always the three brothers who play together, while Li Sijie stays by herself, either reading or doing her own thing.
Of course, her brothers would take care of her, after all, she was their sister, but they didn't think much of spoiling or indulging her.
Perhaps it's because Li Sijie wasn't very likable growing up.
Li Sijie was raised by her grandmother in the countryside until she was ten years old before being sent back to Kyoto.
Her lifestyle and personality are very similar to those of Grandma Li.
Selfish, domineering, likes to show off, and can't stand seeing others do well.
When she first came back, she was always trying to get attention. If she was unhappy in the slightest, she would cry and make a scene, even threatening to kill herself, until she got what she wanted.
At first, her older brothers could tolerate her, but as time went on, they became less willing to provoke her.
After growing up, Li Sijie changed a bit, but the rift between them could never be erased.
But after seeing the clouds, the people's thoughts changed.
They all thought the same thing: their younger sister had suffered so much all these years, and they must take good care of her in the future.
She likes running a shop, so let her run it well and make lots of money. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
The Li family members' eyes couldn't fool the shrewd Yan Junting. He knew there was something the Li family knew, but neither he nor his wife knew.
As it happened, he had originally planned to go back to the army anyway, so he left with the Yan family.
As they walked, Li Zhengyang chatted with Yan Junting, "Junting, how have you been lately? Have you encountered any difficulties at work? If you have any, tell me and I'll help you analyze them, or you can ask Yunjun for help."
"Thank you, Chief Li. I can handle all the work-related matters." Yan Junting didn't beat around the bush and looked directly at Li Zhengyang, asking, "But I have something I'd like to ask you, about my wife..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wenyue suddenly remembered something, grabbed him, and asked urgently, "Jun Ting, your hometown and Duo Duo's hometown are from the same village, right? Do you know about her family situation? Is Duo Duo's family well? Are her family members good to her? How many siblings does she have?"
Ye Wenyue seemed anxious, asking several questions in one breath, eager to know the answers.
Seeing this, Li Zhengyang stepped forward and grabbed Ye Wenyue, "Wenyue..."
Ye Wenyue was pulled back by Li Zhengyang, but she still looked at Yan Junting with expectant eyes.
The more this happened, the more certain Yan Junting became of his guess: the Li family and Duoduo were definitely connected.
He looked at Ye Wenyue and simply asked her, "Aunt Yue, can you tell me why you care so much about Duoduo? What is your family's relationship with Duoduo?"
Ye Wenyue was pulled back by Li Zhengyang and calmed down a bit. They had already agreed not to make a fuss for the time being, so naturally they couldn't tell Yan Junting either, because if they did, Yun Duoduo would find out.
The problem is that things haven't been settled at home yet, and her identity hasn't been fully confirmed.
Ye Wenyue looked at Yan Junting and shook her head.
Li Zhengyang, however, knew he couldn't hide it from Yan Junting, so he waved his hand at him and sighed, "Junting, I know you're a smart kid, but some things aren't the right time yet. When the time comes, I'll tell you naturally."
"What I can tell you is that we have absolutely no ill intentions towards Duoduo. Once I have investigated and found out what happened, I will tell you in person what really happened. If I say it now and make a mistake, it will have a bad impact."
Since Chief Li had already said that, Yan Junting could no longer ask any questions.
However, he had a vague suspicion in his mind.
He nodded to Li Zhengyang, then turned to answer Ye Wenyue's question, "Aunt Yue, Duoduo's family and my family are from the next village, so we're quite familiar with each other."
"Her family background was very good. She had four siblings, three older brothers, and she was the only daughter. Her parents and brothers treated her like a treasure, and she had a very good life since she was a child."
Yan Junting had a vague feeling that Ye Wenyue probably wanted to know these things, so he focused on the key points.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Ye Wenyue's eyes welled up with tears. She nodded and murmured, "Our daughter is so lucky..."
Yan Junting frowned as he looked at Ye Wenyue, "Aunt Yue, what did you say? Your daughter? Duoduo is you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Wenyue immediately shook her head, "No, I meant that Duoduo is a lucky girl."
Yan Junting was a person who had undergone long-term training, so his hearing was naturally better than that of the average person. He was quite certain that he had heard Ye Wenyue's words very clearly.
Ye Wenyue was referring to their daughter.
Suddenly, Yan Junting felt as if his suspicions had been confirmed.
His wife is the daughter of the Li family? She is the biological daughter of Ye Wenyue and Li Zhengyang, and the younger sister of Li Yunjun and his brothers.
If that's the case, then it seems like everything can be explained.
Why is Ye Wenyue, a cold and aloof person, so enthusiastic towards Yun Duoduo? And why would the high-class Li family hide behind a tree and stare at his wife?
But if that's the case, then what's going on with the Yun family?
Yan Junting was well aware that over the years, everyone in the Yun family had doted on Yun Duoduo, treating her with utmost care and affection. Their affection for Yun Duoduo far surpassed that for the Yun family's brothers.
Not to mention him, probably no one in their entire brigade would doubt that Yun Duoduo wasn't the Yun family's biological child.
To put it more dramatically, even if Yan Junting is suspected of not being the biological son of the Yan family, no one would doubt that Yun Duoduo is not the biological daughter of the Yun family.
Then, Yan Junting thought of something else important: if Duoduo is the daughter of the Li family, then what about Li Sijie, the original daughter of the Li family?
Yan Junting knew that Li Sijie and Yun Duoduo were about the same age, so they probably weren't sisters.
Or perhaps the Li family and the Yun family had children in the same place, and then the babies were switched at birth?
The Li family knew this, but the Yun family did not, so they always treated Duoduo as their own daughter.
But then Yan Junting remembered something else.
When he was at home, he said he wanted to bring Duoduo to Kyoto, and Duoduo's biological mother, Song Qinglian, reacted somewhat strangely.
