Li Ya pouted her lips and said resentfully.
"Stingy, it’s just a hug. You’re not afraid I’ll eat you up, are you?"
Zhang Xiaoshan responded directly.
"This is for your own good. It wouldn’t be nice if someone came to the infirmary and saw us. So, what exactly did you come here for?"
Li Ya gave Zhang Xiaoshan a glance and then said with a bit of worry.
"I know you fought with Li Erniu yesterday. I was worried you might have gotten hurt, so I came to check on you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan became tense.
It seemed that the little girl really took his words seriously when he said he would be with her once she went to college. She had developed real feelings.
The mother and daughter really were alike.
But now, he dared not overly upset Li Ya. He could only delay, hoping that as Li Ya grew up, he might change his mind, or perhaps by then Li Ya would become more sensible. Then he could have a proper talk with her and clarify everything.
"Also, I came here to thank you. The police have questioned me. It was you who sent that quack at our school gate to jail, probably for over a decade."
"Brother Little Shan, I really am so grateful to you."
When Li Ya spoke, she was very serious, her gaze filled with adoration for Zhang Xiaoshan.
It was obvious, in her eyes, Zhang Xiaoshan had become a great hero.
Every young girl falls for a hero who protects her during her teenage years.
Clearly, the superhero of Li Ya’s adolescence was Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt the adoration from Li Ya. At this moment, he did not know whether to be happy or to cry.
"This is what I should do. You are my good little sister, after all. I wouldn’t let you suffer for no reason. If anything happens in the future, just tell me, and I’ll protect you."
"Thank you, Brother Little Shan."
Li Ya thanked him again.
Suddenly, Li Ya hesitated, seemingly at a loss for words.
As Zhang Xiaoshan was getting ready to sleep, he said.
"Little Ya, just say whatever you need to. We’re not strangers. If you have a problem, I’ll certainly help you solve it."
Li Ya seized on Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, shockingly saying.
"So, are you really having an affair with my mom?"
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was a bit drowsy, was jolted wide awake by Li Ya’s words.
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was truly panicked at this moment.
Li Ya then spoke with a pitiful tone.
"Saw, what did you see?"
It was now Zhang Xiaoshan’s turn to be confused.
Although Su Xiangmei had visited him and spoken some ambiguous words, he had always maintained his boundaries. As of now, his relationship with Su Xiangmei was absolutely platonic.
Tears welled up in Li Ya’s eyes. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
She began to explain.
"Two nights ago, I, I saw my mom come looking for you. She even said, even said she wanted you to father her son."
Zhang Xiaoshan’s head exploded.
What the hell was Su Xiangmei up to?
How could Li Ya even know about this?
Admit? Admit nothing; he couldn’t admit to this no matter what.
After all, Su Xiangmei knew about his affair with Luo Meili. If he pushed Su Xiangmei into a corner, wouldn’t everything be exposed?
Then he thought, two days ago, he and his sister-in-law were trapped in the hills. Su Xiangmei must have found nothing.
So he pretended to be clueless and asked Li Ya.
"I really don’t know about this. Did you see me?"
