Hua Li didn't notice that a small figure had been following her ever since she locked the door and left home...
After Hua Li left, Luo Yan followed him into the courtyard. Hearing the lock click, she darted out from under the gate like a nimble cat.
Because of his concussion, Xiao Xiu couldn't walk fast and couldn't stop Luo Yan in time. He could only watch as the petite Luo Yan successfully sneaked out. He tried to squeeze out like Luo Yan, but his head was too big and it was impossible.
Luo Yan had no idea that Xiao Xiu, who couldn't get out, was so anxious that she jumped around frantically. She quietly followed Hua Li all the way to the entrance of the military base.
Hua Li used to be sickly because she didn't have enough to eat, which led to her slow walking habit. Even though her physical strength has improved, she still walks very slowly. Luo Yan, with her short legs, at least didn't lose her way.
Seeing Hua Li walk away to the point where she could no longer be heard when she called out, Luo Yan ran up to the sentry on guard duty, pointed at Hua Li's back, and cried.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
The sentry looked in the direction Luo Yan was pointing and remembered that this woman had just asked to see Deputy Chief of Staff Chu by making an internal call to inquire whether she should be allowed to pass.
Tsk, this woman is so careless, how could she forget her child outside?
The sentry came down from the guard post and picked up Luo Yan, whose eyes were filled with tears.
"Brother...Mom..."
Handsome young man, hurry and take her to find her mother!
The sentry is on duty and cannot leave his post without permission. You should make a phone call.
Not long after the sentry finished making the call, Chu Tonghai's orderly ran over.
The sentry handed Luo Yan over to the orderly, who then took Luo Yan to find her mother.
Meanwhile, in the office, Chu Tonghai's face was ashen.
"As far as I know, the reason An Xiaotong hit your daughter is because your daughter stole An Xiaotong's jade pendant."
Furthermore, you claim that Liu Jingqiu once beat your daughter. Why didn't you report it then, and why are you only reporting it now? This shows that you are simply slandering her.
"For Commander Sun's sake, let's leave it at that for today. But if there's a next time, I won't show any mercy."
Upon hearing Chu Tonghai mention the jade pendant, Hua Li countered with a question, "Is the jade pendant you're referring to the one carved with a phoenix?"
Chu Tonghai, unaware of the truth, admitted it.
"Yes, that's the proof that I reunited with my daughter. It's very meaningful. I hope you can return it as soon as possible. Don't ruin your daughter's future because of greed for small gains."
Is the carved phoenix jade pendant proof that Chu Tonghai recognized his daughter?
Hua Li stared at Chu Tonghai in shock, her mind buzzing.
Chu Tonghai thought that his words had intimidated Hua Li, and gave a contemptuous snort.
They're really just a small, inexperienced family. They didn't consider the consequences when they stole, and now they're scared.
Hua Li clearly saw the contempt in Chu Tonghai's eyes...
If the blind and delusional Chu Tonghai is really her biological father, then she'd rather not have him.
Hua Li calmed himself down and spoke with righteous indignation.
"I think you've misunderstood. The reason I saw the carved phoenix jade pendant is because the owner of the carved phoenix jade pendant was not Liu Jingqiu."
My daughter never mentioned the jade pendant, which means she had never even seen it. As for why An Xiaotong insists that my daughter took it, you'll have to ask An Xiaotong.
As for the fact that Liu Jingqiu hit my daughter, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the compound to investigate.
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place." Even if Liu Jingqiu wanted to deny it, she couldn't.
Hua Li's composed demeanor made Chu Tonghai hesitate.
"You said you've met the owner of the jade pendant. Who is she?"
Hua Li turned her head away in disgust, "She told me not to tell anyone, I'm sorry."
Chu Tonghai: "She can at least tell you where she's from."
Hua Li thought for a moment and said, "He's from Liuwan Village, Tongxian County."
The child was indeed entrusted to a couple in Liuwan Village, Tongxian County, back then. He would never forget that. Could it be that Liu Jingqiu was impersonating someone else? Chu Tonghai's expression changed drastically.
"Are you from that village too?" Chu Tonghai asked Hua Li.
Hua Li nodded.
Chu Tonghai then asked, "How did the carved phoenix jade pendant end up in Liu Jingqiu's hands?"
Hua Li said impatiently, "Ask Liu Jingqiu about Liu Jingqiu's matter."
Chu Tonghai pondered for a moment, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Chu Tonghai said "Come in," and the orderly pushed open the door, revealing the baby he was holding in his arms.
Luo Yan followed Hua Li because she didn't want Hua Li to have to beg for help. When she saw Hua Li coming to find Chu Tonghai, she frowned and reached out to Hua Li.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
Hua Li was disheveled in the wind.
How did the child escape? Did she come with me, or was someone else bring her here?
Hua Li quickly got up and took Luo Yan from her, repeatedly thanking the orderly.
The soldier said, "The child is crying from fright, hurry up and comfort him."
The little baby was crying so pitifully, with tears welling up in his eyes. He didn't even dare to cry loudly, clearly terrified. Oh, if he had such a lovely daughter, he wouldn't bear to let her suffer like this.
"She came here by herself?" Hua Li was utterly terrified.
The orderly said, "I don't know, but when we found her, she was all alone."
My God, what if she gets kidnapped by human traffickers on the way? How will she survive?
Hua Li's eyes were seeing stars, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could give Luo Yan a good beating.
Luo Yan felt the overwhelming maternal love emanating from Hua Li, and with a premonition of something bad, she shrank back. She immediately saw Chu Tonghai looking her over and immediately called for help.
"Grandpa, hug me."
Chu Tonghai? ? ?
He didn't even know this little guy, so how come the little guy called him grandpa so sweetly?
A crack appeared on Chu Tonghai's usually impassive face, but he maintained his composure and pretended not to hear.
Luo Yan twisted her little body to force Hua Li to put her down, then ran over, shaking her tuft of hair on her head and looking up at Chu Tonghai with a smile. She climbed into Chu Tonghai's arms on both hands and feet, and took out a White Rabbit milk candy from her pocket and gave it to Chu Tonghai.
"Grandpa, eat."
"Oh my, even a child this young is so possessive of his food, especially sweet candy. He wouldn't even give it to his own mother, let alone anyone else. How could the little guy be willing to give him candy?" Chu Tonghai didn't believe it.
Taking the candy, Chu Tonghai unwrapped it and pretended to put it in his mouth, but Luo Yan raised her little hand and pushed it away, turning the fake eating into a real one.
A dignified deputy division-level cadre actually snatched candy from a child. Chu Tonghai was embarrassed, unsure whether to eat the candy in his mouth or spit it out.
Luo Yan giggled innocently and gave Chu Tonghai another piece of candy, poking at the candy in his hand with her little hand.
"Scratching, scratching, scratching..."
The child really wanted to be given candy, which pleased Chu Tonghai. He unwrapped the candy and fed it to Luo Yan.
The grandfather and grandson were laughing happily as they ate the candy.
Men can easily become closer by sharing a cigarette when they meet, and for children, a piece of candy can win over anyone, adults or children alike.
With a candy in her mouth, Luo Yan mumbled, "Grandpa, pretty."
Luo Yan pointed to her own face, then to Chu Tonghai's old face.
In fact, Luo Yan and Chu Tonghai don't look alike at all, and Chu Tonghai is far from handsome. Luo Yan said this on purpose to attract Chu Tonghai's attention, hoping that he would discover the truth about Liu Jingqiu impersonating a rich girl as soon as possible.
