Chapter 1687 - 306:

Liu Yumei picked up the memorial tablet and placed it in front of her:

"Look how scared the kids are. Old man, tell me, was I really that terrifying when I was young?"

...

After breakfast, Li Zhiyuan went to Cui Cui's house alone.

At the crossroads leading to Cui Cui's house, Li Zhiyuan saw Old Tian standing there early in the morning.

Old Tian was wearing a robe and a pair of new cloth shoes, standing with his hands behind his back.

To be honest, he really embodied the stereotype of a rich old man.

But after noticing Li Zhiyuan's presence, Old Tian's back immediately hunched over, unable to move forward or backward, instead began to spin in place.

Li Zhiyuan approached him.

"Good morning, Mr. Li."

"I don't like that title."

"Good morning, Brother Xiao Yuan."

"Didn't Zhao Yi tell you last night?"

"It was my young master... who told me to dress like this and wait here this morning."

"What else did he say?"

"Master instructed me to look at the sun at a forty-five-degree angle."

"Then go ahead and look."

Old Tian was originally someone on Zhao Yi's ship, so he didn't need to worry about any karmic repercussions.

"Alright, Brother Xiao Yuan."

Li Juxiang was sitting in the yard washing clothes. Upon seeing Li Zhiyuan arrive, she said in surprise:

"Little Yuanhou is here, but our Cui Cui is still sleeping in."

It's the weekend, no school, so naturally one sleeps in.

"Then I'll go up to find her."

Li Juxiang: "You wait here, I'll go call her."

It's not that she felt it was inappropriate for a boy to enter her daughter's room early in the morning, but Li Juxiang was worried that her daughter's sleeping habits might anger Brother Yuanhou.

"Alright, Aunt Xiang Hou."

Li Juxiang opened a bottle of soda for Li Zhiyuan and went upstairs. Li Zhiyuan, holding the soda, walked to a bedroom on the first floor.

Generally, the elderly's bedrooms are on the first floor, and this one was Liu Jinxia's room.

Liu Jinxia had a lot on her mind last night and only fell asleep at dawn.

This meant that what Li Zhiyuan planned last night had no chance to come into play, but as a result, things became simpler.

The youth opened the bedroom door, walked in, and stood beside Liu Jinxia's bed.

There were traces of tears on one side of Liu Jinxia's pillow; in her sleep, she was still clutching the thin quilt tightly.

Li Zhiyuan took out a Heart Clearing Charm and placed it on Liu Jinxia's forehead.

Liu Jinxia's brow relaxed, her breathing became more even, and her fingers loosened their grip.

Next, the youth's voice seemed to have magical power, carrying a special magnetism.

"I am a Nantong person, that old man lied to me, I am my parents' daughter, I was not kidnapped..."

The youth's words seemed to unlock Liu Jinxia's stream of consciousness, and she began to repeat such dream talk continuously.

Lying in bed last night, she used these reasons to repeatedly comfort and reassure herself.

After a while, Li Zhiyuan spoke: "But if it's not too troublesome and there's a chance, it's good to offer incense to your biological parents."

Liu Jinxia murmured in her dream: "Yes, if they could be found quickly, offering incense to them would be good. After all, they're still my biological parents..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Alright, Grandma Liu, I'll help you fulfill this wish."

After saying this, Li Zhiyuan left the bedroom, closing the door carefully.

He did not use hypnosis on Liu Jinxia, because in a hypnotic state, the exchanges don't count.

Just now, the youth only exchanged dream talk with Liu Jinxia; what she said were her true feelings.

She doesn't want to fuss over searching for her parents any longer; she just wants to pretend this incident never happened and continue her life.

But deep down, she still harbors curiosity about her biological parents and a slight pang of guilt and unease.

After all, she wasn't sold by her parents; her uncle said she was kidnapped.

Honestly, this kind of entrusted request is somewhat childishly playful.

Because if Liu Jinxia were in a truly lucid state, even if she had this idea, she wouldn't admit it nor speak it aloud.

However, when I was about to take a step towards Jiujiang, the water in the river cooperated so seamlessly with the plan, Li Zhiyuan realized that as long as his digging channel follows basic procedural justice, the subsequent matters wouldn't require much effort.

In summary, when the Heavenly Dao aligns with your objectives... you only need to focus on what's directly in front of you; everything else is arranged by destiny.

Li Zhiyuan quite enjoyed this simple and effortless feeling, but unfortunately, such seamless cooperation can't last forever.

"Brother Xiao Yuan!"

Cui Cui, after washing up and changing clothes, cheerfully descended the stairs with Li Juxiang.

Li Zhiyuan said to Li Juxiang, "Aunt Xiang Hou, Grandma Liu asked me to tell you, she's not feeling well and won't play cards for a few days."

Li Juxiang: "Alright, I'll inform the other ladies."

Li Zhiyuan then said to Cui Cui, "Cui Cui, let's go learn painting."

"Yeah, I'm going to get my little bucket!"

Li Juxiang: "Cui Cui, you haven't had breakfast yet."

Cui Cui: "There are snacks in Brother Xiao Yuan's room!"

Li Juxiang: "You're getting bolder, I see."

Li Zhiyuan and Cui Cui walked home together, and upon reaching the yard, they saw Zhao Yi waiting.

Cui Cui went upstairs on her own, while Li Zhiyuan walked over to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi: "I drove the truck back last night; it's parked by the main road."

The place they had supper last night happened to be the parking spot, so after supper, Zhao Yi conveniently drove the big truck back.

Li Zhiyuan: "I've finished everything here."

Zhao Yi: "Meaning?"

Li Zhiyuan: "We can set off now."

"Clap!"

Zhao Yi clapped his hands and then opened his arms to Li Zhiyuan, smiling:

"Jiujiang welcomes you."
