Jing Li didn't expect him to say such a thing, and she laughed after being stunned for a moment, "Okay, even if you choose a few thousand per capita, I should still treat you... But I guess you won't be so cruel.
"
Huo Qiran lowered his head and smiled, and then said: "Let's go, I know a sushi restaurant that is quite delicious."
The two of them got into the car again. After another moment of silence, Jing Li slowly spoke: "Actually, after my brother had an accident, the other party paid a sum of money. That money should of course be placed in Xi Xi's mother's account.
.But when she left, she left most of the money to me and Xi Xi."
Huo Qiran listened and responded softly.
"If I don't go out to work, I won't be able to survive, but I know that once Xi Xi reaches school age, the money will not be enough to support the two of us. After all, raising a child is really expensive. So.
I can only try to save more for her, and save more... But now that she is back with her mother, she can have a good life, and I don’t have to worry about her anymore."
After hearing this, Huo Qiran just smiled slightly and responded softly.
Because he knew that Jing Li's words were not told to him by anyone.
It doesn't really matter whether he responds or not.
After Jing Li finished speaking, she calmed down and turned to look out the window in silence.
"Would you like to listen to some music?" Huo Qiran asked.
"Okay." Jing Li responded, with a slight hint of excitement in her voice.
Huo Qiran seemed not to have heard anything and was about to reach out to turn on the music when he suddenly heard Jing Li's cell phone ringing.
He immediately retracted his hand and turned to look at Jing Li.
Jing Li took out the phone, glanced at it and quickly picked it up. Who knew that her face had already changed when she heard the first sentence there.
Because Gu Wan said to her with a tearful voice on the other end of the phone——
"Jing Li, Xi Xi is missing!"
In an instant, all the blood on Jing Li's face faded, her face turned pale, and even breathing became difficult.
But she could only force herself to calm down, gritted her teeth and said, "Why is Xi Xi missing?"
When Huo Qiran next to him heard this, his expression also changed.
"As soon as we got home, she woke up and looked for you, crying all the time... I didn't expect him to rest at home. He was woken up by Xi Xi and lost his temper. Xi Xi might have been frightened and ran away secretly.
Get out...I'm looking for her, I'm looking for..."
Gu Wan's cries were filled with wind and gasping sounds, as if she had been looking for Xi Xi for a long time.
But Jing Li felt increasingly cold in her hands and feet.
Huo Qiran saw her stern expression and couldn't help but ask her: "Did she wear the watch I gave to Xi Xi before?"
Jing Li suddenly came back to her senses and nodded quickly, "Yes! She likes that watch very much and keeps wearing it!"
While she was talking, she hung up Gu Wan's phone and dialed Xi Xi's watch number.
However, when I dialed the phone, it said it could not be connected.
Jing Li was so nervous that her hands were shaking. She dialed again, but still couldn't get through.
"Is it possible that the power is out?" Huo Qiran asked.
"Probably not." Jing Li was so anxious that she almost shed tears, "I charge her every day..."
"Don't worry." Huo Qiran said, "If the watch has power, you should be able to locate the signal. I'll make a call."
Huo Qiran started to make a phone call while driving to the address provided by Gu Wan.
Even though Jing Li was anxious, she remained silent and watched him make one call after another.
She had no idea about this kind of thing before. Now after listening to him making several calls in a row, she realized that positioning signals were not a trivial matter. She didn't even dare to express her anger. She heard him say to the person on the other end of the phone, "I will bear the cost."
”, the tears came uncontrollably.
But before the tears could fall, she quickly wiped her eyes and turned to look at Huo Qiran who had just hung up the phone.
"Don't worry." Huo Qiran said to her, "There should be news soon."
Sure enough, not long after, Huo Qiran's cell phone rang. He quickly picked up the phone and after saying a few words, he turned to Jing Li and nodded.
Before Jing Li could relax, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and almost screamed. She answered the phone directly and shouted, "Xi Xi?"
A female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, are you the parent of this child? She is currently at our Ling'an Road Police Station. How long will it take for you to pick her up?"
"I'll be here right away, I'll be here right away..." Jing Li finally couldn't help but shed tears, and while shedding tears, she said thank you, "Thank you, thank you..."
…
Ten minutes later, the two people arrived at Ling'an Road.
When Jing Li rushed into the office, Xi Xi was sitting on an office chair with tears in her eyes, listening to the cartoon played for her in front of her, and turning her head to look at the door.
The moment she saw Jing Li, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, then she held her mouth shut and tears fell down.
Jing Li quickly stepped forward and hugged her into her arms.
Finally she fell into her aunt's arms, but Xi Xi still just cried silently, only her tears kept falling.
"It's okay." Jing Li patted her back gently, "Auntie is here, don't be afraid."
When the female police officer who had been accompanying Xi Xi saw this, she said, "She was sent over twenty minutes ago and was said to be a lost child. Her watch and phone were turned off and placed in the mezzanine of her small backpack.
I didn't find it. Fortunately, someone called just now and said that her watch signal was located with us, so we can contact you..."
Jing Li still thanked her profusely.
"Parents, please be more careful," the policewoman said. "For such a young child, you were lucky enough to meet a kind person and was sent here today. What if you meet a human trafficker? You will really regret it for the rest of your life!"
Jing Li listened to everything and didn't refute a word.
When Gu Wan arrived in a hurry, Jing Li was going through relevant procedures. Gu Wan stood outside the office door, glanced at Xi Xi from a distance, turned around and got into his car again, covering his face.
Huo Qiran took something from his car, glanced at her, and then walked into the office again.
Xi Xi was still twitching and lying on Jing Li's shoulder. Huo Qiran stepped forward and put the things in his hands in front of Xi Xi.
Xi Xi was still a little distracted at first, but after seeing clearly what was in Huo Qiran's hand, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
Huo Qiran smiled and handed the doll in her hand to her. She reached out to take it, held it in her hand and looked at it again and again. After saying "Huh", she turned to look at Jing Li, then looked at the doll in her hand, and finally came to a conclusion.
: "It's aunt!"
Just as Jing Li signed, she turned around and saw the doll in Xi Xi's hand, and was suddenly stunned.
