Li Shaozhong led Ye Shuning into the house and saw his parents sitting in the living room, along with a girl from the neighbor's family.
Li Shaozhong's mother, Yang Jinping, excitedly came over to greet him upon seeing him return. She held Li Shaozhong's hand and said with red eyes, "It's been so long since you came home. Your second brother's incident really scared us to death."
Seeing his mother about to cry, Li Shaozhong immediately hugged her shoulders and soothed her, saying, "My second brother is back safely. This time, it's all thanks to Xiao Ning. She saved my second brother."
Li Shaozhong then pulled Ye Shuning in front of his mother and said, "Mom, this is Xiao Ning. I'll bring her home to show you."
Ye Shuning immediately greeted, "Hello, Auntie."
Yang Jinping took Ye Shuning's hand with a loving look on her face and said, "Xiao Ning, you've grown up so much and are so beautiful. Your aunt held you in her arms when you were a child. Come quickly and meet your Uncle Li."
At this time, Li Jianye, the head of the Li family, also came over. Ye Shuning called out, "Hello, Uncle Li."
Li Jianye was also very happy when he saw the little girl in front of him. He changed his usual serious expression and said repeatedly: "Good, good, Xiao Ning has grown into a big girl."
At this moment, the girl who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Li's mother came over and said to Li Shaozhong with tenderness in her eyes: "Brother Li San, you're back."
Li Shaozhong saw people greeting him and said, "I came back to see my parents. Are Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang okay?"
Wang Qianru replied, "My parents are fine. How long can Third Brother Li stay this time?"
Li Shaozhong said, "I'm very busy at work and have to go back to work the day after tomorrow."
Wang Qianru was a little disappointed and said, "Uncle Li and Aunt Li are very worried about Second Brother Li's incident this time. You should spend some time with them."
Yang Jinping said, "These days, I'm really grateful to Qianru. Your dad is often not at home, and Qianru often comes home to chat with me and relieve my boredom."
Yang Jinping also introduced Ye Shuning and Wang Qianru.
Ye Shuning looked at the girl named Wang Qianru who kept looking at Li Shaozhong with affection in her eyes. It was obvious that she liked Li Shaozhong.
Li Shaozhong was young, promising, and handsome, so it wasn't surprising that some girls liked him. Perhaps they were childhood sweethearts.
Wang Qianru also pulled Ye Shuning and said, "I heard that Second Brother Li was safe and sound this time thanks to you. Thank you so much. Aunt Li has been worried sick these days."
Ye Shuning replied: "It's nothing, it's just a coincidence."
Ye Shuning's mental power enabled her to keenly sense that this girl named Wang Qianru did not like her and was only doing superficial work at this time.
Wang Qianru didn't stay long. She said a few words to Li Shaozhong and went home quickly.
Ye Shuning was pulled to sit on the sofa. Yang Jinping liked her more and more as she looked at her well-behaved appearance. Ye Shuning was the savior of her second son, and also the benefactor of their Li family. Yang Jinping felt inexpressibly grateful.
What's more, Ye Shuning is Ye Xingguo's daughter, which makes them closer to each other.
Seeing that Ye Shuning looked a little tired, Yang Jinping knew that they must be tired from the journey, so she took her upstairs to rest.
Downstairs, Li Jianye saw his wife taking Ye Shuning to rest, turned to look at Li Shaozhong and said, "I heard your second brother say on the phone that Ye Shuning was abducted and sold at someone's behest?"
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Ye Shuning overheard the traffickers say someone paid them to abduct Ye Shuning to the Northwest, hoping to keep her trapped there for the rest of her life."
Li Jianye frowned and asked, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"
Li Shaozhong named the suspect.
Li Jianye frowned and said, "Don't make this public for now. I'll send someone to investigate. Xiao Ning is Xingguo's daughter, so we have to take better care of her. Not to mention, she saved your second brother this time."
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "I know that. I can't stay at home for two days this time. I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow. There is still a lot of work waiting for me at the company."
Li Jianye said, "Your work is important. Don't worry, your mother and I will be fine."
Upstairs, Yang Jinping led Ye Shuning into the guest room. Ye Shuning saw a pile of clothes on the bed.
Yang Jinping pointed at the clothes on the bed and said, "Xiao Ning, these are all clothes I bought for you. I bought them according to the sizes given by your second brother Li. Take a shower later and try them on to see if they fit. If not, you can change them."
When Ye Shuning heard that the clothes on the bed were all for her, she quickly refused and said, "Auntie, you can't do that. I have clothes."
Yang Jinping said, "You don't have any clothes right now. These are all prepared for you. There are no other girls in our family, so don't refuse. This is what your second brother Li asked me to prepare for you. You saved his life, so what's wrong with wearing a few clothes we bought for you?"
Listen to Auntie, take a bath and have a good sleep."
Ye Shuning had no choice but to accept the Li family's kindness.
After making arrangements for Ye Shuning, Yang Jinping came downstairs. "Xiao Ning must be exhausted from the journey. I asked her to take a bath and rest."
She sat on the sofa, pinched her youngest son's shoulder and said, "Son, isn't your current workplace very tough? Look how much weight you've lost."
Li Shaozhong knew his mother was worried about him. "Mom, our oil field has just been developed, and it will gradually get better. Besides, I've lost weight because I've been looking for my second brother these days, sleeping in the open air."
Yang Jinping said, "Shaozhong, do you have any thoughts about Qianru?"
Li Shaozhong asked in confusion, "What's the idea?"
Seeing her son's lack of understanding, Yang Jinping simply said, "Oh, it's your Uncle Wang. He wants to marry into our family. Qianru has always liked you. Can't you see that?"
Li Shaozhong quickly said, "Mom, please don't make promises to others rashly. I don't have any feelings for Wang Qianru at all. I just treat her as my neighbor's sister."
Yang Jinping still liked Wang Qianru very much, and she said without giving up, "Don't you have any possibility? Feelings can be cultivated slowly."
Li Shaozhong quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop, Mom. I'm telling you clearly, there's no chance for us. I don't like her. I can't develop any feelings for her."
Yang Jinping asked, "What kind do you like?"
Li Shaozhong was very helpless about his mother's urging to get married. "Mom, my second brother doesn't have a partner yet. You should worry about him first. I'm not in a hurry."
Yang Jinping said with dismay, "You're already 24 and still not anxious. Your second brother is the same, so preoccupied with military matters that he doesn't even think about his personal problems. You two brothers are such a worry. I'm still waiting to have a grandchild."
Li Shaozhong put his arm around his mother's shoulders and said, "Mom, my eldest sister-in-law has given you a grandson. Don't worry, if I find someone I like, I will bring him to you immediately."
