settle down.
An Ying lowered her head and sat at the dining table, saying little as usual.
Her brothers and sisters are more popular with her father than she is... They sit in the front, which is closer to her father, and when they talk, they are often the only ones who eagerly please her father.
It should be the same today...
But her father's voice suddenly sounded: "An Ying, come here and sit here."
An Ying raised her head blankly, walked over and sat down obediently.
Her father gave her a rare pat on the head and said, "You did a great job."
"Did she... do something?" An Ying's brothers and sisters all turned to stare at her.
"An Ying finally has her own little circle in school where she can play well. Making friends is never difficult. As long as you do it, you can do well."
Mr. An said and took a waffle for An Ying.
"Oh, really? That's really good. I remember that every time I went to a banquet, An Ying was very scared..."
"I never make friends."
"Even if she gets into other circles because of her father's status, no one will care about her..."
"Is it because you've grown up now? You've finally enlightened yourself?"
"Dad taught me well, right?"
An Ying's brothers and sisters were chatting away.
An Ying said nothing. She wasn't stupid, she knew they were mocking her.
Not every home is beautiful.
There are too many children in their family, and everyone is vying to perform in front of their father...
"Take the initiative to call your friend today. It's winter vacation. Friends still need to meet frequently to maintain a relationship. Otherwise, someone else will take your place." Mr. An spoke up.
"Yeah." An Ying lowered her head and responded.
"Or it would be nice to invite her to your home to play. This will make the relationship between you seem special."
An Ying said nothing.
Why is she always so inconspicuous? Why would you rather be a quiet person?
It's because every time she hears her father educating her like this, she feels like vomiting.
Usually, when she looked so silent and dull, her father would frown and walk away.
But today her father showed no expression at all.
After breakfast, An Ying ran outside and nervously grabbed her cell phone. Do you want to make a call? let's hit. Just don’t invite Li Xiaoya here...
It's not nice at all.
She won't like it.
I'd better go to her place.
An Ying carefully dialed the number.
"Hey, I'm An Ying, are you... okay today? I want to come and play with you."
If it's not convenient, why not go with Zhou Xiaoshu? Wouldn’t that be easier to agree to?
"I'm not here, I'm on my way to Jiangcheng now."
"Oh, oh, okay." An Ying hung up the phone disappointedly.
Her brother came over, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked with a smile: "An Ying, are your friends ignoring you? Which family does your friend come from?"
An Ying turned around and saw her brothers and sisters standing there.
They were actually eavesdropping on her phone calls!
An Ying said nothing with a cold face, turned around and left.
Her sister shook her head at the side: "An Ying, I have told you many times, if you are so cold-faced and rude to your brothers and sisters, your father will dislike you again. Isn't it easy for you to get this? Dad’s praise?”
"The new friends you made must be great, right? Then you have to work harder to please them and keep them. Otherwise, dad will be very disappointed." Her brother said and let go of his hand, walking away with the others. .
But even if they were far away, An Ying could still hear their conversation.
"I even wonder if she lied in front of dad. With her personality, how can she make any powerful friends?"
"No more talking, I made an appointment with a friend to go skiing and left."
"Brother, who are you following? Is it the same person whose family opened a bank last time? Take me with you."
……
An Ying lowered her head and said to herself that you can't make friends.
You will never make true friends!
This Li duckling was in a hurry to take off, so he ended the call with An Ying hastily.
After the plane landed in Jiangcheng, Li Xiaoya sent a message to An Ying.
【wait me back】
On the other side, An Ying grabbed her phone and looked at it, then couldn't help but roll on the bed.
"Is this Mr. Zhang?" Li Xiaoya and his group had just walked out of the lobby when they met someone who came to pick them up.
Obviously, it was not the person arranged by Sheng Yuxiao.
Although Mr. Zhang had gone through a lot of traveling, maybe it was because he hadn't traveled far away for a long time. The sudden trip was still a bit fresh and he felt much better.
He waved his hand to the man: "Didn't I tell you before? You don't have to pick me up in person. Just find a local guide for us."
The man said: "How about that? Of course I will come to pick you up and take you to my place. It is also convenient for you to stay at my place. The scenery there is good, and the air is good..."
Mr. Zhang is not picky about these things, but he thinks that since he has a child, he must take good care of it.
"Okay, let's go now..."
Halfway through Mr. Zhang's words, Li Xiaoya tugged on his sleeve: "Then you go and stay there, we are going to stay at the Jingui Hotel."
"Why are you so polite? This uncle's family should be very fun..."
"Yes, kid." Although the man couldn't figure out Li Xiaoya's identity, he also persuaded him: "Jingui Hotel was famous in Jiangcheng a few years ago, but it has not been very good in the past two years. The decoration is old. It’s old, the service level has dropped, and it’s not a good experience to live there. ”
"The decoration is old, does it mean it has not been renovated?" Li Xiaoya raised his head and asked.
"Yes, the wallpaper has fallen off."
Li Xiaoya immediately smiled: "Then I want to go there even more, because that's where mom and dad used to live, and everything is still the same as at that time..."
Mr. Zhang's eyes were slightly red when he heard the sound.
It’s okay if the old man can’t get out of his old memories, but why can’t the children get out?
She must help her find her mother's relics.
"Go ahead." Mr. Zhang knew his body very well, so he didn't make any trouble. "I will stay at my uncle's house. You can contact me at all times."
"Don't worry, I'm still with the little duck." Sheng Yuxiao interrupted.
Qin Sui added: "We."
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but smile. Children are so interesting...
They were separated briefly at the airport.
The man turned back and glanced at Li Xiaoya a few more times. What is this kid's background?
But if Mr. Zhang could come with her... he immediately remembered her appearance firmly in his mind.
In order to fear that Jiangcheng's side would not provide adequate hospitality, he even personally called the Jingui Hotel.
After answering the phone at Jingui Hotel, he was a little confused: "Why did such a big order fall on us?"
After their boss's investment failed, he couldn't afford to renovate the hotel. The hotel's former glory will soon be gone...
"What's wrong manager?"
"Everyone, move, move! We are distinguished guests from Aritsu City!"
"Where's the guest? Go ahead and stand guard for me..."
Just like what Li Jiang said.
When the car arrived in front of the hotel, the doorman came forward diligently, opened the door, carried the luggage, and helped park the car.
He was full of bilingual auspicious words to welcome guests.
There was a red carpet on the ground, although the red carpet was a bit old.
Li Xiaoya stepped on it and closed her eyes slightly. She grabbed Sheng Yuxiao with her left hand and Qin Sui with her right hand, and walked forward step by step, just like her mother walked this road back then.
I'm so happy.
Although it was here that I met Li Jiang...my mother must have been very happy when she rushed here to see her father!
"This kid is quite strange. He actually likes to touch everywhere..." the waiter sighed.
"Who's saying it's weird?" Sheng Yuxiao grabbed the phone with one hand and turned her head with cold eyes.
The waiter was agitated: "Sorry, sorry, you shouldn't talk about guests."
Sheng Yuxiao then continued to talk on the phone.
After finishing speaking, he returned to Li Xiaoya.
"I got an address. Although I'm not sure which nursing home I stayed in, I know who Xiaoya's grandmother remarried," Sheng Yuxiao said.
"Did Secretary Wang find out?" Li Xiaoya asked curiously.
"right."
Li Xiaoya nodded thoughtfully.
Sheng Yuxiao placed the phone on the table, and Qin Sui was able to see the address on it clearly.
"Little Duck's grandmother remarried to a chamber of commerce chairman, but the chairman also passed away. If we can't get into the house..."
"Then please ask Grandpa Zhang to take action."
