96 Have You Seen My Ah-Nan?
Seeing Aunt Cui like this, Li Xiaoran sighed.
“I don’t know where Ah-Nan is! But if Ah-Nan knew what you were doing, he definitely wouldn’t acknowledge you as his mother! Aunt, when you were at the noodle stall previously, you mistook me for Ah-Nan, right?!”
When Aunt Cui heard Li Xiaoran’s words, despair appeared in her eyes.
“I’m unwilling to give up! I haven’t found Ah-Nan yet. I don’t want to die! Ah-Nan is still waiting for me to save her!”
“No, Ah-Nan is waiting for a mother who loves her to save her, not a mother whose hands are stained with sin to save her! Even if you found Ah-Nan one day, she wouldn’t acknowledge you!” Luo Cheng stared at Aunt Cui and said.
“No! That’s impossible! Ah-Nan is the most obedient child!” Aunt Cui howled.
On the other side, Ma Zhao thought of something and shouted, “Aunt Cui, is the Ah-Nan you’re talking about a little girl with an orchid behind her ear? Ten years ago, she was about 18 years old.”
When Aunt Cui heard Ma Zhao’s words, she struggled to look over.
“You’ve met Ah-Nan?”
When Ma Zhao heard Aunt Cui’s words, his mouth moved, but he did not know what to say.
Seeing this, Aunt Cui had a bad feeling.
“Ma Zhao, tell me! Where did Ah-Nan go?”
Ma Zhao looked at the deranged old woman and finally hesitated before saying it.
“She’s dead! Someone tried to rape her, so she hit the wall and killed herself!”
As soon as she said this, Aunt Cui sat on the ground in despair, as if all her energy had been taken away.
“How? How can she die? Ah-Nan! Ah-Nan is so obedient. She won’t die. She won’t!” Granny Cui roared the last words.
Ma Zhao recallled his memories and remembered something.
“I didn’t know you were looking for Ah-Nan. If I had known, I might have told you long ago! Back then, if Ah-Nan hadn’t protected me, I would have been beaten to death by those people! Later, after Ah-Nan died, they dug a hole and buried me. I ran out while they were burying Ah-Nan!” At this point, Ma Zhao was in so much anguish that tears fell.
“All these years, I’ve been looking for those people to avenge Ah-Nan. However, I couldn’t find them at all. Later, someone found me and said that if I wanted to take revenge on those people, he would let me work for him!” Ma Zhao told her what he knew.
When Aunt Cui heard Ma Zhao’s words, she immediately thought of something.
“I also met someone who said that if I wanted information about Ah-Nan, I had to work for him! As long as I did it twenty times, he would take me to Ah-Nan!”
“Is the person you’re talking about a man with a mole on his left cheek and a hair on it?” Ma Zhao asked.
Aunt Cui widened her eyes and stared at Ma Zhao in disbelief.
Needless to say, everyone knew that Ma Zhao and Aunt Cui had met the same person.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she remembered something.
“Then why did you take the girl in the veiled hat?! By the way, where is she?”
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran walked towards the door.
Following the pit dug by Ma Zhao and the others, Li Xiaoran came to the girl who had been abandoned outside.
After taking out a dagger, Li Xiaoran cut the rope on the other party’s wrist.
“Who exactly are you? You seem to know me?”
The girl in the veiled hat wanted to speak, but she could not. She could only point at the acupuncture point that had been tapped previously.
Li Xiaoran did not understand, so she asked again.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
“Wife, her acupoint has been muted!” Luo Cheng walked over, picked up a stone from the ground, and flicked it somewhere.
Soon, the girl in the veiled hat could speak.
“It’s me! Thank you for reminding me to avoid danger last time! It’s just that I never expected to be caught and brought here even though I was hiding at home! I recognized you before, so I wanted to ask you for help.”
The girl took off her veiled hat as she spoke.
Looking at that face, Li Xiaoran immediately recognized who it was.
Wasn’t this the mean girl who looked down on her when she and Luo Cheng went to the clothing shop?
At that time, she had sensed that the maid beside her had ill intentions and reminded her. Unexpectedly, she had avoided danger that time, but not this time.
“It’s you! I’ve already reminded you once, but you were still taken away?” Li Xiaoran didn’t know if she should lament that the other party was unlucky or that she was fated to meet her again!
“I didn’t want to! By the way, I forgot to say that my name is Qin Meizhen. Thank you for saving my life twice! Don’t worry, when we get back, I’ll definitely let my father thank you properly!” Qin Meizhen said sincerely.
“No, no, no. Just don’t cause us trouble!” Li Xiaoran waved her hand and said.
“Come back quickly! This person seems to be dying!” Li Shun’s voice came from the courtyard.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and planned to go back to take a look.
“Miss Qin, right?! It’s not safe outside. You should come with me to my house to rest first! After this matter is settled, my husband and I will send you back!” Li Xiaoran glanced at Qin Meizhen and gestured for her to follow.
Qin Meizhen also knew that it was not safe for her to be alone outside, so when she heard Li Xiaoran’s invitation, she quickly followed.
“Thank you so much! I really don’t know how to get home alone!”
When the three of them arrived at the courtyard, Aunt Cui was already exhausted.
It was unknown what these people said after Li Xiaoran went out, so Li Xiaoran stared at Aunt Cui.
Perhaps sensing Li Xiaoran’s gaze, Aunt Cui looked over.
“You’re very similar to Ah-Nan! Ah-Nan also makes good noodles. Unfortunately, I haven’t eaten them in many years already! I’m sorry. Previously, I wanted to kidnap you and keep you by my side because you’re really too similar to Ah-Nan!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Aunt Cui’s words, she was a little angry, but she also pitied her.
“You’re wrong. I’m not Ah-Nan, and I won’t let anyone take me away to be a substitute! I’m me, the one and only! You shouldn’t ruin someone’s life just because of a selfish thought. I hope you can understand this in your next life and be a good person!”
