Both people looked to be in their fifties, but their hair was completely white, and their backs looked pitiful.
Jiang Leyi, seeing the man suddenly weeping in regret and pain, ran over in a panic, squatting down to help him up.
“Uncle, what’s wrong with you? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
The middle-aged man suddenly heard a caring female voice and looked up at Jiang Leyi’s worried face. His breath caught in his throat at the sight, and for a moment, he felt as if he were seeing his wife in her youth again.
His eyes focused, and he used Jiang Leyi’s strength to stand up, his eyes never leaving her face as he replied, “No, no need…”
Jiang Leyi’s skin crawled with goosebumps at his gaze.
For a moment, she regretted meddling.
But she simply couldn’t stand people bullying the weak. When she was the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she’d always stood up for justice. People would give in to her because of her reputation and because they were afraid of her five older brothers.
Now she was nothing. If she did something like that again, no one would cover for her.
Jiang Leyi smiled at the man, “I’m glad you’re okay. I’m leaving now.”
At this moment, she just wanted to get out of this troubled place as quickly as possible.
“Wait…” The middle-aged man called out to her.
Jiang Leyi paused and turned to look at him in confusion, a hint of wariness in her eyes.
News about street scams suddenly flooded her mind.
Could she be being blackmailed?
“Sister, what are you doing over there?”
Jiang Leyi was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Jiang Nanshu’s voice. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She replied to Jiang Nanshu, “I’ll be right over.”
“Uncle, I’ll be going now if there’s nothing else. My sister must be getting worried about me.”
“What’s your name…” The middle-aged man asked.
Jiang Leyi hesitated.
“Sister? Who are you talking to? I’m coming.” Jiang Nanshu’s voice rang out again.
Jiang Leyi made up a story and said to the man, “My name is Ji Leyi. I’m here in Hong Kong for tourism. I’m leaving tomorrow. Uncle, if you’re not feeling well, go to the hospital to get checked out. That person pushed you pretty hard just now. Don’t break any bones. Bye.”
Not giving the man a chance to speak, Jiang Leyi grabbed Jiang Nanshu, whom she had just met, and ran back to the hotel without looking back.
She didn’t want to tell him her real name. She always felt a little strange about him, so she made up a story. Anyway, she was going to the film set tomorrow, and even when she went back to the hotel, she would be in a van, wearing a hat and a mask. Unless someone was deliberately staking out the location, they wouldn’t be able to catch her.
The middle-aged man’s eyes were stunned. “Ji Leyi… Ji Leyi…”
It really seemed like it.
The moment he saw her, his heart raced, his blood pounding.
He trusted his instincts.
The dejection in his eyes faded, replaced by determination.
He pulled out his phone and made a call, saying only, “Find me a girl named Ji Leyi who lives in the Barry Hotel. Send me her basic information immediately.”
Even if there was a ten-thousand-to-one chance, he wouldn’t give up on finding the child.
He suppressed his excitement, but he couldn’t tell his wife.
He was afraid that she’d get so excited that she would disturb the girl’s life.
If it wasn’t…
He didn’t want her to suffer the consequences of disappointment.
All these years, that was enough.
Her mental state was no longer strong enough to subject her to the torment of experiencing both surprise and disappointment.
…
“Why are you running?”
Jiang Nanshu finally asked her a question after they reached the elevator.
Jiang Leyi seemed to be chased by a dog, which piqued her curiosity.
Because it was too dark, she couldn’t see clearly who Jiang Leyi was talking to.
Jiang Leyi smiled awkwardly: “Do you remember that young man named Zhou Yanbai who bullied two elderly people this afternoon?”
