She shook her head sympathetically, "Oh, it's so pitiful."
Not long after she returned to her bedroom, she heard rustling sounds coming from the living room, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
The next day, when Li Li got up, she saw the female beggar sleeping on the sofa in the living room, while Li's father and mother were standing beside the sofa, looking at the female beggar with great disgust.
"Dad, Mom." Li Li called out weakly.
Hearing the sound, Li's father and mother cast fierce glances at her.
Father Li pointed at the beggar woman on the sofa and asked, "What's going on?"
Father Li's voice was so loud that Li Li was afraid of waking up the beggar girl, so she quickly pulled Father Li outside. "Dad, I picked her up on the roadside last night. Look how pitiful she is. I'm just taking her in for one night. When she wakes up, she'll go away on her own."
Father Li was skeptical, "Really?"
Li Li nodded frantically, "I already told her last night."
After hearing what Li Li said, Li's mother couldn't say anything else and had to compromise, "You said so. When she wakes up, we have to leave."
"Don't worry, Mom." Li Li said and started running out, "I'm going to work first."
Father Li shouted at her back, "Are you not going to eat?"
After a busy day, Li Li originally thought that she would have a good sleep as usual when she got home from get off work, but this time she miscalculated.
She walked into the yard, and before she entered the house, she saw that the light in the living room was on. Suddenly, a bad premonition came to her mind.
She entered the house cautiously, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw the female beggar sitting on the sofa. She was shocked. Why hadn't this beggar left yet?
The next second, she saw Li's mother's questioning look.
She knew what was going on without Li's mother telling her.
Before Li's mother could say anything, Li Li forcibly pushed her into the house.
After closing Li's mother's bedroom door, Li Li sat down next to the beggar. She looked at the white wall in front of her and said in a reminder tone, "Didn't we agree to leave at dawn today?"
The female beggar was very quiet and sat on the sofa with her head down.
Li Li looked at her messy hair and asked speculatively, "Do you have no home? Or do you have a home but are you afraid to go back?"
The female beggar remained silent.
Li Li continued, "It's not okay for you to live in my house forever? Do you have any family? Or even the contact information of one of your relatives would be fine."
The female beggar remained silent.
Li Li knew that even if she continued asking, she would not get any results, so she stopped asking. Just as she was about to go back to her bedroom, she heard the female beggar's stomach rumbling.
She turned her head and glanced at the female beggar. Did her parents not let her eat all day?
She and this female beggar just met by chance, and it can be said that they have nothing to do with each other, but somehow, this female beggar always gave her a sense of familiarity.
Tired after a day of work, she stood up helplessly, went into the kitchen, fried a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cooked some rice.
"The rice is ready..." Li Li came out of the kitchen holding the rice cooker, turned around and took out the dishes and an empty bowl from the kitchen.
She filled a bowl of rice, put down her chopsticks, and placed it in front of the beggar woman. "Eat it while it's hot."
The female beggar was probably really hungry. Her hunger made her not care about the people around her. She picked up the chopsticks, held up the bowl, and started to eat voraciously.
The lights in the living room were bright. When the female beggar raised her head and wolfed down her food, Li Li saw that there were deep whip marks on her face.
At first glance, it's shocking.
For a moment, Li Li was actually frightened. She was stunned for a while, and subconsciously reached out to brush away the hair on her forehead. But her hand had just touched the beggar's hair when the beggar was like a frightened deer, and she threw the bowl away in fear. There was a bang, the sound of the bowl falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the female beggar curled up in a corner of the sofa, with her head lowered, her arms around her knees, and even... her whole body was shaking.
Seeing the female beggar like this, Li Li found it hard to imagine what had happened to her.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Li Li slowly approached her and tried to comfort her in the gentlest tone.
As she spoke, she had moved her body next to the female beggar and tried to touch the beggar's head with her hand.
The female beggar's originally trembling body surprisingly relaxed!

On the other side...
Mingjie also got the news that Xia Tian and Cui Jingshu were arrested.
However, he didn't expect that Gong Bingye's movements were even faster than his.
If they really killed Xia Xingchen, then they would have died a worthy death. But when he was about to take action, he found out that Xia Xingchen had escaped, and there is no trace of her until now.
Xia Xingchen escaped, but Xia Tian and Cui Jingshu were captured. He had been planning for so long, but in the end he lost both the wife and the army.
If Xia Tian and Cui Jingshu were to keep their mouths shut, Gong Bingye would definitely know that he was the one behind all this, and then Gong Bingye would definitely come after him to settle the score.
Once Gong Bingye arrives, he's finished!
This summer was really more trouble than success. He had warned her a long time ago to be careful of Gong Bingye, but she not only didn't listen to him, but also went on vacation with Gong Bingye.
He's really going to die.
The only thing he could do now was to find Gong Leng before Gong Bingye came to find him, otherwise, he would surely die without a burial place.
Mingjie didn't dare to delay any longer and left home immediately to find Gong Leng.
He arrived at Gong Leng's house, but Gong Leng had not returned yet. The housekeeper knew Mingjie. When he heard Mingjie say that he had something urgent to discuss with Gong Leng, he took the initiative to let Mingjie in.
As soon as Mingjie sat down in the living room, the housekeeper called Gong Leng.
About ten minutes later, Gong Leng came back in high spirits. When Mingjie saw this, he knew that Gong Leng must have encountered something happy.
Mingjie quickly stood up from his chair, squinting his eyes, and asked, "What makes Master Gong so happy?"
Gong Leng sat down from his chair, leaned over to Mingjie and said with a smile, "Our eldest son of the Gong family has returned. Tell me, am I happy?"
"Is this true?" Mingjie asked excitedly, "The young master is really back? Did you find him?"
Gong Leng said proudly: "Of course!"
Finally, his hard work paid off and he finally found Gong Bingyu.
"Great!" Mingjie murmured, "The young master is finally back. Our backbone is really back."
What does this mean? Does it mean that Gongxia is going to change?!
Gong Leng was happy for a while, then he remembered Mingjie next to him and asked, "By the way, I just heard the housekeeper say on the phone that you had something urgent to talk to me about?"
Mingjie was stunned. He originally wanted to ask Gong Leng for help. Now, after hearing that Gong Bingyu was back, what was he still afraid of Gong Bingye doing?
So he made an excuse to get away with it.
It’s better not to let Gong Leng know about this.
He hooked his finger at Gong Leng and whispered, "Our backbone is back. Shouldn't we start implementing our grand plan?"
