Li Yuan looked at the white-haired old man in front of him. After not seeing him for twenty years, everything had changed.
"Uncle Ji." Li Yuan said.
Hearing Li Yuan's voice, the old man shook his body and his eyes were quickly filled with tears.
"Master Li..." The old man said hoarsely, struggling to get out of bed.
The maid was pushed by the old man and the bowl in her hand fell directly onto the bed.
The remaining half bowl of hot porridge was poured directly onto the quilt.
"Ah!" The maid was startled.
Li Yuan took two big steps forward and immediately lifted the quilt that was stained with hot porridge. He turned to the maid and ordered, "You go out first."
The maid was frightened, but nodded when she heard Li Yuan's words: "Yes."
Old Man Ji grasped Li Yuan's hand, his cloudy eyes now remarkably clear. Due to his frail health, the old man looked particularly gaunt and thinner. But when he saw Li Yuan, his rough, bony hands, covered in veins like earthworms, gained strength and held Li Yuan tightly.
An old man in his sixties, who had experienced many storms and whose half body was buried in the earth, cried like a child with tears streaming down his face the moment he saw Li Yuan.
"You're not dead. Miss Luo and I thought you were gone back then..."
Li Yuan choked and his eyes dimmed.
He also thought they were gone back then.
"That's right!" Suddenly thinking of something, the old man suddenly became excited: "Nannan, Nannan!"
Because he was too anxious, the old man didn't get to the point for a long time.
"Your and Miss Luo's daughter, Nannan!"
"I know." Li Yuanhui held Master Ji's hand and whispered to comfort him, "I've already seen her."
On the way, Bai Chuan had already explained the old man's physical condition to him, so Li Yuan did not tell him the news of Ji Zhinan's accident.
"That child's eyes...are very much like her mother's."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Master Ji nodded continuously, laughing and crying. "That child is smart. She has inherited all the good qualities of you and Miss Luo. She has been a beautiful girl since she was young. Many old men wanted to introduce their grandsons to Nan Nan, but I refused them all. Our Nan Nan must marry the best."
"Uncle Ji." Li Yuan stared at him solemnly.
Seeing Li Yuan's serious eyes and solemn expression, Mr. Ji subconsciously put away the smile on his face.
Li Yuan said, "I want to know what happened twenty years ago."
He wanted to know how Xiao Luo escaped at that time, why Xiao Luo left their daughter to Uncle Ji, and where she was now.
"..." Old Master Ji was silent for a long minute before he spoke: "When Miss Luo and I were arrested, we were originally going to be sent to the crematorium. Fortunately, Miss Luo was smart enough to trick the people who were escorting us. Miss Luo used one of their own people to take the blame, and we... took the opportunity to escape."
Because they knew how important Xi Luo was to Li Yuan, they sent many people to cooperate with the escort. The extra or missing escort personnel would not be noticed at all in a short time.
Xi Luo took advantage of this loophole and had the two men escorting them push them into the incinerator, while she and Mr. Ji took the opportunity to escape.
“…”
Li Yuan was silent. When he arrived, "Xi Luo" and "Uncle Ji" had already been reduced to ashes. In addition, he received the news that his father was plotted against. The situation was urgent. He had to rush back to Europe and had no time to verify it.
