Chapter 479: Saving People Until The End
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The little girl in front of them probably wasn’t from an ordinary family.
The fabric of her clothes was very extraordinary. At least, ordinary people couldn’t afford it.
The child was carrying a longevity lock that was made of gold and was probably worth a lot of money.
Those people probably were not after money. Otherwise, this longevity lock wouldn’t have been left on the little girl.
Li Xiaoran flipped the longevity lock over to take a look. Unfortunately, there were only some patterns on it and no other information. Li Xiaoran had no choice but to send Little Quan home first. Then, she went to the place where the child had been captured and asked around.
Even until night fell, there was no news about this child.
No one nearby paid attention to the child and they only found out that there was a child here when the child was carried away.
Li Xiaoran had no choice but to bring this child back.
When Luo Cheng saw that Li Xiaoran had been out for an entire day and had brought a little girl back, he asked curiously, ‘What’s going on?”
Li Xiaoran was already thirsty. After she handed the child to Zi Cheng, she washed her hands and drank a mouthful of water.
“In such a prosperous place like the capital, public security is actually so bad. This little girl was carried into a carriage in the downtown area and was about to be taken away. Fortunately, I met her and asked someone to snatch her back. I snatched this child back, but I couldn’t find a single one of her relatives! Aren’t these parents worried that this child got lost? I’ve been asking around all afternoon, but I didn’t see anyone coming to look for the child!” With that, Li Xiaoran poured another large cup of water and drank it again.
“That little girl was drugged by those people. At that time, Zi Cheng applied medicine on the child and found a doctor to take a look. He confirmed that she was only unconscious, so looked for her family members. In the end, they were nowhere to be seen!”
After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he asked, “Then did you go to the government offices to report a case? When some children get lost, the parents go to the government office to report a case. You should go to the government office to register. Perhaps the other party will find you!” Li Xiaoran stopped drinking water and looked at Luo Cheng.
“Sigh, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have thought of this! In that case, should I get someone to register at the government office now?
“There’s no one in the government office now. Go tomorrow! Also, find another little girl tomorrow and put the two little girls together. Even if someone comes to look for the child, we’ll bring the two little girls out and let them see which one is the child they’re looking for! ” Luo Cheng quickly said.
“You mean someone will lie?” Li Xiaoran didn’t think of this at all and asked in disbelief, “Seriously?”
“Why not? The human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in this world. How do you know that the other party is really the little girl’s family member? Or how do you know that the little girl’s family is good to her?! Don’t forget that there are all kinds of conflicts within families. Many times, conflicts between wives and concubines involve children! If the other party really recognizes this little girl and takes her away to harm her, won’t we become accomplices?! Therefore, we have to be careful about this!” Luo Cheng explained.
After Li Xiaoran nodded, she thought of something.
“Don’t worry, husband! No one can fool me. I can tell if they’re really worried or not!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
Oh right, how could he have forgotten about Li Xiaoran’s special ability?! This person could live with a few masks on, but emotions couldn’t be deceived.
“That’s good. Let’s be more careful about this matter!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and went to wash up.
She was really exhausted today, so she couldn’t wait until after dinner to wash up.
After washing up, she felt more refreshed.
At this moment, the little girl woke up.
Perhaps because she was in an unfamiliar environment, the little girl looked around warily and didn’t say a word.
When Li Xiaoran learned that the little girl had woken up, she thought for a moment, then packed some food before going to the little girl’s side.
When Li Xiaoran appeared, the little girl’s eyes lit up.
“You’re the pretty girl who tried to save me previously!”
Li Xiaoran smiled when she saw that this little girl actually recognized her.
“You still remember me? Don’t worry, you’re very safe in my house now. Bad people can hurt you anymore!”
Perhaps with someone she trusted around, the little girl finally relaxed.
After Li Xiaoran brought over the food box and scooped a bowl of rice for the little girl, she also scooped a bowl of rice for herself and ate with the little girl.
Because Li Xiaoran had been running around for a long time today, Luo Cheng instructed the kitchen staff to make some mild side dishes and a pot of porridge.
The two of them ate the porridge happily.
After eating, Li Xiaoran asked someone to clean up. Then, she looked at the little girl and asked, “I still don’t know your name.”
“My name is Ruan Weiwei. You can call me Weiwei!” the little girl replied.
“Weiwei, can you tell me where your house is? Where are your parents?” Li Xiaoran asked.
When Weiwei heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she shook her head.
“I don’t know where my family lives. I grew up with my mother. A few days ago, a woman suddenly came to find me and my mother. She said that my father was about to die and asked us to come to the capital to see him for the last time. However, after we arrived in the capital, that woman settled my mother and me in a small house. I was still sleeping on the bed in that house last night. When I woke up today, I was already on the street! After that, you saved me!” “Then your surname is Ruan? Did you take your father’s surname?”
Ruan Weiwei shook her head and continued, “I took on my mother’s surname. I’ve never seen my father since I was born! My mother said that I’ll definitely be able to see my father this time!”
When Li Xiaoran saw that Ruan Weiwei didn’t know where she lived, let alone how she appeared in the bustling city, she knew that there must be something fishy.
“Then can you tell me where you live in the capital?”
After Ruan Weiwei thought about it carefully, she recalled it.
“I remember that when we entered the capital, we came in from the east gate. The carriage kept going straight and only turned left at the end. After that, we turned left, right, left, and left. In the end, we probably passed by an oil mill because I smelled the smell of oil.. Finally, under a tall and big banyan tree, we stopped the carriage and entered the house after heading towards the left!”
