Chapter 2648: Chapter 2648: He’s Still Alive...
Jian Yufei thought, if Xiaokui really has such abilities, then what she said must be true.
Ruan Tianling is still alive, he’s still alive...
Jian Yufei’s heart, which was originally very heavy, was now beating with excitement.
As long as Ruan Tianling is alive, at least it proves he is out of danger.
So many days have passed, he must not be at sea anymore.
Could it be that he was rescued by someone but is still unconscious?
The more Jian Yufei thought about it, the more she felt it was possible...
And she wept with joy.
...
Knowing Ruan Tianling is still alive, Jian Yufei felt revitalized.
She didn’t express her suspicions to anyone, Xiaokui was so guarded against people, surely out of fear of others discovering her secret.
So she would keep her secret for her, even though Xiaokui’s abilities seemed bizarre to her, almost like a fantasy.
But she wouldn’t treat her as an outcast, nor would she spread the word about it.
Instead, she treated Xiaokui even better, prompting Xiaokui to always look at her with a doubtful gaze, wondering if she had some ulterior motives.
Jian Yufei thought, this child must have suffered a lot to be so guarded against people.
But if she was willing, she wouldn’t mind taking care of her forever.
...
"Mommy, why are you staring at Xiaokui?" Ansel’s small voice interrupted her thoughts.
Jian Yufei snapped back to reality, and sure enough, the little girl sitting across from her was watching her warily, her eyes full of unease.
Jian Yufei smiled and said, "Mommy was just lost in thought, not staring at Xiaokui."
"Oh." Ansel nodded understandingly, while Xiaokui let out a sigh of relief.
Jian Yufei placed a piece of chicken leg in her bowl, "Eat more vegetables, don’t just eat rice."
"Thank you..." The little girl’s big eyes blinked.
Jian Yufei felt a pang of heartache seeing her so cautious.
After dinner, Jian Yufei took them to the living room to cut some fruit for them.
Halfway through peeling an apple, Jian Yufei’s phone on the table rang.
"Mom, the phone." Junqi quickly handed the phone to her.
Seeing it was Xiao Lang calling, Jian Yufei glanced unobtrusively at Xiaokui.
Ordinarily, a child wouldn’t notice this glance.
Yet Xiaokui, being exceptionally sensitive, immediately sensed her peculiar look.
"You eat the fruit yourselves, Mommy is going to answer a call and make some juice for you in the meantime."
Jian Yufei took the phone to the kitchen.
Xiaokui slowly jumped off the sofa, "Brother, I’m going to the bathroom."
Ansel smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."
Jian Yufei stood in the kitchen, answering the phone, "Hello, Xiao Lang?"
"Yes, it’s me. I’ve found the person you asked me to investigate."
"Really?!" Jian Yufei’s voice had a touch of delight.
Xiao Lang asked in a deep voice, "Yufei, what do you want with that person?"
"He helped me and Ruan Tianling before, and I happen to need something from him now."
"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Xiang Jieshi passed away two months ago."
Jian Yufei’s eyes widened, "Dead?"
"Yes."
"Does he have any other family?"
At this, Xiao Lang felt the world was truly full of coincidences.
"He has two sons, but the eldest son and daughter-in-law both died, the younger son and daughter-in-law are still alive."
"Do his two sons have children?"
"Yes. The eldest son has a daughter, five years old, named Xiang Xiaokui."
Jian Yufei: "..."
How did Ansel guess the person’s name? How did he guess it?!
