Lu Yanci whispered: "Old man, how much do you know about that couple?"
The old lady hesitated for a moment and glanced at Lu Yanci, "Aren't you here to investigate Zhou Yan's affairs? Why are you asking about that girl again? Have you seen that girl?"
"You look well dressed, and you look like someone who has studied. How come you have such an idea? I won't talk about that little girl anymore! You go!"
After saying that, he walked into another room, knelt on the mat and began to chant the Buddha's name.
No matter how Li Nan said nice things or her son tried to persuade her, the old lady was determined and never said another word.
An hour passed like this, but the old lady still refused to say a word.
Reluctantly, Lu Yanci and Li Nan had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, Lu Yanci said to the old lady: "Old man, thank you for your kindness to my little girl in the past. You can live in your old house with peace of mind. This street will not be demolished. Someone will come to repair it in a few days. Let’s renovate this place and restore it to the way it was before.”
Only then did the old lady look back at him: "Who are you? What did you say?"
Lu Yanci whispered: "Forget it, you can live in peace."
The old lady hesitated for a moment, then stood up and searched for a long time in front of an old cabinet and found an old photo album.
Then he took out a photo from it and handed it to Lu Yanci: "This is a photo of the two children when they were young. Take it. I hope the photo is useful to you and that you can find and arrest that beast as soon as possible!"
Lu Yanci took the photo.
The photos are not well preserved and are a bit faded in some places.
However, you can still clearly see that the photo was taken in a place where you have a banquet at home, and there are many people.
Wen Ning stood behind Zhou Yan, looking out from the side with a clean little face, smiling shyly at the camera.
Wen Ning in the photo is only about eight or nine years old. He is small, has straight bangs, and looks very well-behaved.
It was something Lu Yanci had never seen before.
Lu Yanci looked at it for a while, then gently stroked Wen Ning's face in the photo with his fingertips, and whispered: "Thank you, old man, this photo is too precious."
The old lady said: "It's useless for me to keep it. When I saw this photo, I thought that I didn't call the police because I was afraid of causing trouble. I feel a little guilty. I hope you can catch that beast soon."
Lu Yanci nodded: "I will."
When he walked outside, Li Nan said: "Little Third Master, is this place really not going to be demolished?"
Lu Yan said without turning around: "Do you think I'm kidding?"
Li Nan asked anxiously: "But haven't we already negotiated that this place will be developed into a new commercial pedestrian street?"
Lu Yanci: "Can't the old house be renovated and turned into an era commercial street? I'll find someone to design it tomorrow instead of demolishing it."
Li Nan had no choice but to respond.
After getting in the car, Lu Yanci took the photo and kept looking at it.
The more I watch it, the more I love it, and the more regretful and precious it becomes.
After an unknown amount of time, he said, "Is there a place where you can repair the photo? Take this photo and have it repaired."
"I'll send it over tomorrow. It's late today."
After a while, Li Nan said carefully: "Little Third Master, is this Zhou Yan a gay..."
Lu Yanci's eyes were dim and unclear, and he was silent for a long time before saying, "It's not important anymore."
Li Nan stopped talking.
After arriving home, Zhang Hua saw the mud on Lu Yanci's trouser legs as soon as he entered the door.
She looked at Li Nan expressionlessly: "Where did you take the mistress to this late at night? Don't you know how much a piece of his clothes costs?"
Li Nan scratched his hair, "You can't blame me. I said I would go tomorrow, but he must go tonight."
Lu Yanci bypassed the two of them and went straight to change clothes.
Then, he walked to the window and looked down at Wen Ning.
Zhang Hua whispered: "I have been waiting for you all night, and I just fell asleep just now."
Lu Yanci looked at Wen Ning sleeping deeply, pulled up the blanket on her body, and whispered, "What did you have for midnight snack?"
Zhang Hua said: "I didn't eat it. She kept asking me when will you come back and what do you like to eat. I said you like to eat handmade egg dumplings, so she made the flour herself all night, and ended up using a big bag of flour. I didn’t pack a decent one.”
Zhang Hua looked in the direction of the restaurant: "The package is still there, waiting for you to come back to cook it, but he fell asleep before waiting."
After Lu Yanci heard this, he couldn't help but smile a little at the corners of his lips.
"Where is it? I'll go take a look."
"Just in the kitchen."
When I entered the kitchen, I saw a plate of strangely shaped dumplings.
It looked like the flour was not well kneaded, the dough was ugly, and the skin was ridiculously thick.
But just such a plate of ugly dumplings, Lu Yanci found it cute.
This little thing doesn't seem to be very good at cooking, and he doesn't seem to be interested in the kitchen. Today he actually wanted to cook something for himself, maybe because he wanted to please himself.
A little sweetness filled his heart, and for the first time, he felt that Wen Ning actually had him in his heart.
Coming out of the kitchen, Lu Yanci entered the study.
There is an important document that requires his personal approval.
Just halfway through the process, the study door opened, and Wen Ning stood at the door holding a small cup in his hand.
Seeing Lu Yanci holding a video conference and approving documents at the same time, she didn't know whether to return or enter.
Lu Yanci pretended not to see her and continued working.
Wen Ning kept peeking at his face, hesitating at the door for several minutes, and finally couldn't help but come over.
She put the small cup in her hand on the desk and whispered: "Uncle, have something to eat."
Lu Yanci pretended not to hear and continued to review the documents.
Wen Ning could only wait patiently.
After a while, she couldn't wait any longer and called out again: "Uncle, if you don't eat it, it will get cold."
Lu Yanci then raised his head and turned off the computer.
"It's so late, why didn't you sleep?"
Wen Ning raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and said softly: "Waiting for your return."
Lu Yanci said calmly: "What are you waiting for me to do? I'm not an important person."
Wen Ning knew that he was still angry, but for a while, he didn't know how to calm him down.
She twisted her clothes with her hands, and after a while she whispered: "He is an important person."
Lu Yanci raised his eyebrows: "I didn't hear you, what did you say?"
Wen Ning bit his lip and said louder, "He is an important person."
Lu Yanci said deliberately: "What important person? Who are you talking about?"
Wen Ning knew he did it on purpose, but when he thought that he was still angry, he had to say again: "You are an important person to me."
Lu Yanci snorted coldly, picked her up and put her on his lap, "That's pretty much it!"
"But, Wen Ning, please remember, I am not only the most important person to you, but also the only person in your heart from now on. From today on, if you dare to think about others again, see how I deal with you!"
Wen Ning raised his head and looked at him, and whispered: "Aren't you angry anymore?"
Lu Yanci snorted: "Of course you are angry. Do you think that if you make some food and come over, this will be the end of it?"
Wen Ning was a little discouraged: "How can you not be angry?"
Lu Yanci looked at her white and tender ears, feeling itchy in his heart. He lowered his head and said in her ear: "Use the remaining three, and then I can calm down."
