The memory of a five-year-old child is already strong; this is why Uncle Liu and the others are unwilling to move.
He is afraid that if his daughter comes back one day, she won’t be able to find them.
It’s not because the money given by the Huo Family isn’t enough; the Huo Family has given a lot of money.
"Let them go to the police," Huo Shaohua refused coldly.
"Don’t be so stingy," Tian Xingyun stepped forward and grabbed Huo Shaohua’s hand, trying to prevent him from leaving angrily.
"Why are you calling me an idiot for no reason?" Tian Xingyun frowned. Was she really stupid? She didn’t think so.
Huo Shaohua raised his hand and flicked her injured forehead, "They hurt you, so why should you help them?"
"I’m not helping them; I’m helping my husband."
"I don’t want to be a widow, so I can’t let them beat you. I don’t want people to say the Huo Family bullies the common people, so I’m asking you to help. This way, Uncle Liu and the others will move soon, and finding his daughter will be beneficial to you."
"Keep talking," he watched her, curious to see how much more she could exaggerate.
She would say anything to get him to help.
And the worst part was, what she said made sense!
"After finding his daughter, Uncle Liu will be very grateful to you. When he spreads the word, won’t it be even better for the Huo Family? Helping abducted children return home, it’s a public welfare cause!" Tian Xingyun spoke very earnestly, so much so that her mouth was getting dry.
Huo Shaohua’s heart was too hard; she had said so much, and yet he hadn’t reacted.
"It’s more than good; it’s really great!"
"I’ll think about it," Huo Shaohua removed her hand and turned to open the car door and get in.
Tian Xingyun quickly rushed to the other side to open the door and get in, afraid that if she was a step too slow, he would leave.
Then she would have no chance to persuade him; she needed to strike while the iron was hot.
If she missed this moment, it probably wouldn’t be possible anymore.
"Just help them out, it’s actually helping yourself too," Tian Xingyun fastened her seatbelt and continued to persuade him earnestly.
She couldn’t bear to see Uncle Liu and his wife so pitiful; she understood the pain of being separated from one’s parents.
Also, those grandfathers and grandmothers were pitiful too, living in that courtyard was very inconvenient.
They should go to a better place to enjoy their retirement in comfort.
Their children were too much, abandoning the elders there without care, they needed to be taught a lesson!
"Did you promise them?" Huo Shaohua turned his head to glance at Tian Xingyun.
"Yes, I promised!" She had already promised Uncle Liu that she would do her best to help find his daughter.
"Then you find her yourself," Huo Shaohua started the car and drove away. She dared to make such promises.
"..." Tian Xingyun glanced at him and stopped talking.
Huo Shaohua noticed with his peripheral vision how suddenly Tian Xingyun had become very quiet.
She remained unusually quiet the entire way, not saying another word.
She didn’t even ask where Huo Shaohua was taking her, it wasn’t the route back to the Huo Family or Huatan Village.
Huo Shaohua’s car entered a high-end residential area and stopped in front of a villa.
"We’ll stay here tonight."
"Okay," Tian Xingyun replied; not going back was the right choice.
Seeing her in this state would worry her grandmother, and she couldn’t go back home.
She had to follow his arrangements.
As she got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of her, it wasn’t a place she had been to before.
Rich people really have many houses.
Huo Shaohua got out of the car, leading the way for Tian Xingyun to go inside.
The villa’s decor was simple, but the furniture was complete and very clean.
"Do you live here often?"
"Occasionally," Huo Shaohua replied, throwing his coat onto the sofa.
"It’s very clean," Tian Xingyun sat on the sofa, taking off her shoes and lying down.
The sofa was very soft and comfortable, making her feel even lazier and reluctant to move.
"Make yourself at home, I’m going upstairs to rest," he said as he started loosening his tie and walked upstairs.
