Leng Mingye recounted that memory to Grandma Liu. He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to thank her in person and see how she was doing.
"Oh, I see! I remember that little girl really liked strawberries! I think her nickname in the villa area was 'Little Strawberry'! It's just that her parents were busy with work, so they often took her with them. She rarely went out to play in our villa area, but it was precisely because she loved strawberries so much that she was unique and everyone remembered her!"
Because he loves strawberries so much, many things he does are related to strawberries, which has left a deep impression on everyone, even if they have only met him a few times.
Grandma Liu thought the little girl was quite endearing and lovable, with a particularly sweet tongue.
"Grandma, do you know what her name is?"
"It was Grandma Liu who said it was the little strawberry he was looking for!" Leng Mingye asked excitedly.
If he knew her name, it would be much easier for him to find her.
"I really don't know her name. I haven't spent much time with this little girl. I only know that her family name seems to be Lin."
Grandma Liu thought back again. She didn't know the little girl's name, nor did she know her parents' names. Fortunately, she knew that the family's surname was Lin.
"Alright then, I'll trouble Grandma Liu to help me find out where they are."
The surname is Lin? I know the surname is Lin, but I don't know the given name, so finding out is a hassle...
Leng Mingye's hopes were extinguished once again.
He had never thought finding someone could be so difficult.
"Okay, I'll find out for you later! You should leave your phone number with Grandma, otherwise how can I contact you?"
Grandma Liu, this is also so that I can have more time to contact Leng Mingye in the future.
After Leng Mingye and the others left, she was lonely for a long time. Fortunately, two years later, her son and daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, and she was able to get back to work.
"Grandma, give me your phone, I'll save it for you!"
If Grandma Liu is willing to help him inquire, then there must be a turning point in this matter, and there will be hope!
"Okay! Please add 'Xiaoye' to my contact information. Grandma isn't very good at typing."
Grandma Liu adjusted her reading glasses, squinted, and took out her phone.
"Yes, Grandma, I've saved it!"
Leng Mingye took the phone, quickly entered a number into it and saved it, adding the nickname "Xiaoye" as requested by Grandma Liu.
Then the phone was returned to Grandma Liu.
"Then come over to Grandma's house for a bit. Your uncle and aunt are home too! They'll be so happy to know you're back!"
Grandma Liu knew that finding someone couldn't be rushed and she wouldn't get any news for a while. The sun was blazing hot right now, and even sitting in the shade, she could still feel the heat.
Grandma Liu fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, but she was already sweating.
She had just finished breakfast and went for a walk. When she got tired, she sat down to rest under the shade of a tree. Unexpectedly, she ran into Leng Mingye just as she was about to go home.
"Okay, Grandma, let me help you up!"
Leng Mingye helped Grandma Liu up from the bench and walked towards her house.
He never expected to run into Grandma Liu again during his trip to Dijing Bay, and he hadn't even prepared a gift for her.
The arrival was far too rushed.
After having dinner with Grandma Liu, I went to the property management office. I wonder if I could find any information about Little Strawberry.
He would not give up on finding Little Strawberry; he was determined to find her!

On the plane
"Ayan, how did you convince my parents?"
Yan Xiluo lay down, holding her phone in the air with both hands, watching the news.
"Baby, guess?"
Lan Jingyan stood beside her, asking smugly, keeping her in suspense.
"How could I possibly have guessed that!"
Yan Xiluo never expected Lan Jingyan to ask her if they thought the same way.
Sometimes they're not even thinking in the same direction... If she could guess, she wouldn't have asked!
"I told them I'd take you abroad for massages, which would help your back injury recover. It might take several sessions, so we'd have to stay for a while. I had barely finished saying that when they agreed!"
This was the best reason he could think of at the time. The Lan Group also deals in medical equipment, so his statement was convincing.
Secondly, he really did intend to take him for a back massage, so it can't be considered a lie, right?
"It has to be you! How dare you lie to your future in-laws! You've got some nerve!"
Yan Xiluo was shocked. No wonder her parents saw them off on the plane with smiles on their faces and didn't ask any other questions.
"There's no way around it! Compared to my future wife, my future in-laws are more important. Besides, isn't this also to support my future brother-in-law..."
Lan Jingyan grinned and tried to please Yan Xiluo, finding it quite amusing to watch her surprised expression and then criticize himself.
"Yes, yes, this really can't be known to my parents!"
We must never let our parents know that Yan Yixing is injured and still being hunted down.
We definitely can't let anything slip before we've resolved the issue properly.
"So sometimes white lies are okay! As long as they're not too outrageous or excessive."
Lan Jingyan's words were clearly an implication of the lie Yan Xiluo told him that day, but he allowed Yan Xiluo to tell him white lies, and as long as she didn't cross his bottom line, he could spoil her.
"Hmm... but I hope there won't be any lies between us."
Yan Xiluo subconsciously realized that she had to keep Yan Yixing's dangerous situation a secret from her family, but she hoped that if Lan Jingyan encountered something similarly dangerous, he would never hide it from her...
"That's for sure! I wouldn't lie to you."
Lan Jingyan assured her with a firm look in his eyes, which made Yan Xiluo feel a little guilty... She had lied that day.
"But I lied to you that day..."
Yan Xiluo directly confessed that she had lied to him that day, and that it wasn't like what she said at all... but she had promised Yan Qirui.
“I know, but you didn’t tell me, so I chose not to ask because I respect you. I know you must have your reasons for not telling me.”
Lan Jingyan stroked her hair and earnestly explained his attitude to her.
"Ayan, how can you be so kind! I'll tell you when the time is right, okay? Because this matter doesn't just involve me, I promised that person I'd keep it a secret, so if I tell you, it'll be like I'm breaking my promise..."
This made Yan Xiluo feel even more guilty...
"Okay, what's wrong with that? You can say it if you want, or I won't force you if you don't want to! And I know you're definitely not going to do anything bad, but I hope that if you encounter anything dangerous in the future, you'll still tell me first."
Lan Jingyan's smile was filled with deep and intense love...
