Xi Zelie arrived at the Habsden familyâs residence and was personally greeted by the Old Madam.
Seeing him, her face filled with regret, âLielie, I am sorry, we had agreed that today my granddaughter would join you for a meal. However, she had some last-minute matters to attend to and wasnât able to make it back.â
She did come back, but then she ran away.
Old grandma was too embarrassed to say this.
A slight smile appeared on Xi Zelieâs lips as he supported her, âItâs alright, we can meet Miss Habsden another time.â
âThat would be wonderful.â Old grandma feared he wouldnât want to meet again, but now she smiled happily, tapping his hand as she continuously praised Chi Enen to the skies on their way.
Her praises were extravagant, as if there was no one like Enen under the heavens.
If Chi Enen were here, she would feel ashamed and hardly believe that the person the old grandma was talking about was her.
âSigh, I had a deal with your older sister that once I found my daughter, if my daughter had brought a granddaughter, I would let you meet sooner to develop a relationship. But I didnât expect⦠your older sisterâ¦â She sighed, âI also didnât get to meet my daughter.â
Xi Zelie did not respond.
After she had her moment of sentimentality, he then said, âYouâll meet her eventually.â He wasnât interested in Miss Habsden, but he wouldnât let the old lady lose face. Even if he wasnât interested, he would still meet the other party out of respect for the Old Madam.
The more the Old Madam looked at him, the more satisfied she became, the more she liked him, and she was already plotting how to arrange for Enen to meet him next time.
All the while, she led him to lunch in high spirits, accompanied by the butler.
Throughout the meal, Xi Zelie finished eating under the Old Madamâs continuous care and encouragement to eat more.
After the meal, due to her advanced age and low energy, the Old Madam needed to take a nap. He did not want to disturb her, and he took the initiative to excuse himself, saying he had matters to attend to.
After bidding farewell to the Old Madam, he left the Habsden residence.
âYoung Master Lie.â The driver had been waiting for him outside, and as soon as he came out, he quickly opened the car door for him.
Xi Zelie got into the car.
The driver closed the car door after him and hopped into the vehicle. Once the car started, the driver said, âYoung Master Lie, I have found the information you asked for.â
âYoung Master Li is indeed looking for someone, a one-year-old little girl, but we donât have a photo or know what she looks like. As for what happened, Young Master Liâs side is keeping it very tight-lipped, we havenât uncovered anything.â
If it hadnât been for the massive effort put into the search, they might not even have found out what kind of person was being sought.
âYouâre telling me heâs searching for a one-year-old little girl?â Xi Zelieâs peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips pressed into a straight line, a strange intuition floating in his mind, âBesides the little girl, is there any other information?â
âNothing else, we only know Young Master Li wants to find a one-year-old little girl. As for why heâs looking or what heâll do once heâs found her, weâre in the dark.â
âKeep investigating! We must find out the specific traits of the person he is seeking!â
âThatâ¦â
Trying to find out the characteristics of the person Young Master Li was looking for was an extremely difficult task, akin to scaling the heavens. The driver felt troubled but didnât dare to disobey and thus agreed.
âYes, Young Master Lie.â
âAnd make it quick!â He needed to confirm whether his intuition was correct.
âYes.â
Xi Zelie closed and then reopened his eyes. He took out the name card that Chi Enen had forcefully given him from his clothesâ pocket and ran his fingers over itâRepresentative Ryan, huh?
Ryan, he remembered, belonged to the Habsden Family Company?
When did Li Beijue get involved with the Habsden family? How did he manage to get Enen involved with the company of the Habsden family?
Just how much had happened this past year that he was unaware of?
