The two of them returned to the living room again. Zou Bai quickly glanced at the sofa and realized that there was indeed a woman’s hair on the pillow on the sofa. Hence, he changed the topic to Jiang Yi. After knowing that Jiang Huai had pulled him to film, he asked with concern, “Filming? Only the servants will be following him these few days?”
Jiang An explained, “From tomorrow onwards, I’ll follow Little Wingsy.”
Zou Bai didn’t say anything else. The two of them went downstairs together. After chatting for a while, Wen Li and Li Mei also went down to the first floor. The two little guys held hands and looked very close.
When Jiang Yu went downstairs and saw Zou Bai, she immediately ran over with her hands outstretched. “Daddy!”
Jiang An’s warning was at noon. It had already been a few hours. Jiang Yu had gotten a little high with Zou Ya just now. How could she remember so much? She just blurted whatever she wanted out loud.
After Zou Bai finished looking at the photo album, he felt closer to his daughter, who maybe had his blood running through her veins. However, he maintained his usual smile and squatted down to pick up Jiang Yu. “Did you have fun?”
Jiang Yu nodded excitedly. When Wen Li saw this, she smiled and teased, “I don’t think anyone will object to you saying that you’re father and daughter. From the way you interact with each other, it really is as if she’s your biological daughter. Li Mei, don’t you think so?”
Li Mei’s face stiffened slightly as she revealed an uncomfortable smile. She did not completely respond to Wen Li’s words and deliberately said, “That’s because Zou Bai is quite popular with children.”
Wen Li was a little depressed. She had spent the entire day today trying, but Li Mei had not loosened up about this at all. Fortunately, Jiang An and her daughter got along well with her son. No matter what, it could be considered a push forward. Hence, the smile on her face did not change. “When you’re free, the three of you have to come more often.”
Li Mei smiled and nodded. Who didn’t know how to say polite words? “Of course. I’m just afraid that you won’t be free sometimes.”
Wen Li rolled her eyes at Li Mei jokingly. “Come over. I will be free, especially for Little Feather.”
Wen Li stepped forward and poked Jiang Yu’s cheek with her index finger. She smiled and coaxed, “Little Feather, you can come and see fishies and shiny things next time, okay?”
When Jiang Yu heard Wen Li’s words, she nodded happily and repeated the parts that attracted her. “1 want fishies and shiny!”
Wen Li saw the love in Jiang Yu’s eyes and revealed a satisfied smile. “And you can take a boat. Wouldn’t it be more fun for us to take a boat and feed the fish?”
Wen Li had learned her lesson more than 20 years ago. The Jiang family did not have a place to dig an artificial lake. It had to be the kind that could accommodate a boat to cruise around it casually. This advantage could be said to be unique.
Jiang Yu was especially cooperative. After all, this morning was really fun. “Boat… Fishies.”
Wen Li laughed out loud and said to Li Mei and Jiang An, “You’ll have to take a boat to the middle of the lake to feed the fish. In two months, our lotus flowers will bloom. Lotus Seed Lake will be even more beautiful. Then, you can sit in the boat and watch. That will really have a different charm.”
Jiang Yu looked at everyone talking and suddenly felt a little pain in her head. It was like being pricked by needles. At this moment, there was still a little pain that had not completely dissipated.
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and frowned. She reached out her small hand and touched her head. She turned her head to look at Zou Bai and realized that Zou Bai was looking ahead. The other people’s attention didn’t seem to be on her. She rubbed her head and didn’t feel any pain anymore. She put down her hand and didn’t dwell on it.
After the Jiang family left, Zou Bai opened his palm and looked at the two strands of hair in his hand. He returned to his room and put them in a transparent ziplock bag. He then collected the long hair on the pillow and called Zou Yi. “Get someone to go to the Jiang family to get two strands of Jiang Yi’s hair tonight.”
Zou Yi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. “Yes!”
Zou Bai thought for a moment and asked again, “Do you remember the woman who entered my room at the hotel last year when 1 went to Sea City on a business trip? Tell me what you found out again.”
Zou Yi immediately replied, “It was your birthday that day. Everyone else was out on a task, and 1 was the only one accompanying you. Young Master Lin and Young Master Yu forced you to drink. After that, you felt a little dizzy, so they insisted on sending you to the hotel you were staying at.”
“Then, they deliberately sent me away and knocked me out. From the surveillance footage that day, the woman was wearing a cotton shirt and a woolen hat. Her face was not captured. By the time 1 went back in the morning, she had already left.”
“I think she lowered her head and left while on a phone call. Her footsteps seemed to be in a hurry. Because the surveillance camera in the hotel lobby had a malfunction for a period of time, and it wasn’t repaired until seven the next morning, that woman should have entered and left the hotel at this time..”
