The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 343: Chapter 342: No Longer Avoiding

Hearing what Fei Erya said, the confusion on Yiyi’s face deepened, and she kept this matter in mind. However, since Fei Erya was still recovering from her injuries, she didn’t want to see her worried over this.

”Er Ya, even if there is another connection between Zhang Li and Fan Qianshu, don’t be too concerned. The most important thing for you now is to recover. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Upon hearing these words, Fei Erya quickly said, ”Yiyi, don’t worry. I will definitely take care of myself. I’m just a bit worried about Qianshu.”

She hadn’t thought much of it at first, but upon seeing the interaction between Fan Qianshu and Zhang Li, she suddenly recalled those who had intercepted them. Those people were targeting Qianshu. Could it have something to do with their work or some mission?

Yiyi, hearing Fei Erya’s words, couldn’t help but say, ”After what happened this time, Fan Qianshu will surely be on guard, so there’s no need to worry about him.”

Finally, Yiyi continued, ”If you’re really worried about him, you can ask him about it next time. The most important thing between two people is not to hide things. If you keep doubts in your heart, the gap will only grow, so you might as well directly ask him.”

Fei Erya listened to Yiyi’s suggestion and nodded, saying, ”Okay, I understand.”

After a few more words, they moved onto other topics, and time passed without notice as they chatted. Before they knew it, Fan Qianshu and Gu Tingyu had finished their meal and returned.

Fan Qianshu carried a bag in his hand, containing the food he brought back for Fei Erya and Yiyi.

After Yiyi and Fei Erya briefly ate, she left with Gu Tingyu.

On the way back, Yiyi recalled what Fei Erya had told her and couldn’t help but ask Gu Tingyu, ”Do you know this person, Zhang Li?”

Seeing Yiyi ask about Zhang Li again, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but reply with confusion, ”Why are we talking about Zhang Li again? Didn’t we already mention her before?”

”There’s something you might not know. Zhang Li and Fan Qianshu don’t seem to be just regular neighbors. There might be a work connection between them.”

”A work connection?”

Gu Tingyu looked confused, ”Isn’t Fan Qianshu still in school?”

”Yes, so I’m confused too. But Er Ya said she saw them discussing some tasks or work several times, so their relationship is certainly not simple.”

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu nodded and said, ”Okay, I understand. Next time, I’ll investigate Zhang Li properly.”

Yiyi nodded in agreement.

Gu Tingyu then stroked her hair, saying, ”Alright, don’t frown. Everything will be figured out, so there’s no need to worry. Let’s go stroll down the street now.” He rarely got a break and naturally wanted to spend more time with the young lady.

”I was just thinking about what happened to Fan Qianshu this time. Do you think it might be related to their work tasks?”

Seeing the young lady still mulling over it, Gu Tingyu took her hand and walked ahead, saying, ”Don’t worry about it. Leave this matter to me. We’re already investigating the Qin Sect’s matters, so we’ll soon find out everything. You really don’t need to worry.”

Seeing Gu Tingyu like this, Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, ”Alright, I’ll leave it all to you. You must let me know when you find out something. I’m still a bit worried about Er Ya, concerned she might be affected.”

”Alright, I will.”

Gu Tingyu gently squeezed Yiyi’s palm, his eyes full of affection. The two then walked leisurely down the street.

What they didn’t expect was to run into Ding Yuejun with someone at her side after visiting only a couple of shops.

As soon as Yiyi saw the man by her mother’s side, she raised her eyebrows.

She remembered this man; he was the middle-aged man who had saved them before, and also the one who truly saved her mother back then, Wei Hanliang.

”Yiyi, Tingyu, you’re here too? What a coincidence.” Ding Yuejun naturally saw her daughter and Gu Tingyu, quickly smiling and stopping them.

”Aunt Ding, Uncle Wei.”

Gu Tingyu was the first to greet them, though his eyes were filled with confusion. He truly hadn’t expected to see Wei Hanliang here.

After calling her mother, Yiyi looked at Wei Hanliang, greeting him as uncle, and solemnly thanked him.

”Thank you so much for what happened last time. Without you, I don’t know what might’ve happened to my mother and me.”

Wei Hanliang waved his hand with a smile, saying, ”No need to thank me. I was just passing by.”

Hearing their conversation, Gu Tingyu suddenly realized the man Yiyi mentioned, who had saved them before, was Wei Hanliang. But she had never mentioned it before, so he had forgotten about it.

Thinking about it now, the whole situation was quite odd.

Given Aunt Ding and Yiyi’s nature, since Uncle Wei saved them, they wouldn’t forget such a favor, yet they hadn’t mentioned it since then. That was unusual.

Yiyi had no idea Gu Tingyu was thinking so much. She was just a bit curious and asked her mother, ”Mom, where are you two going?”

Upon hearing her daughter’s question, Ding Yuejun quickly said, ”I was out shopping and just happened to run into Mr. Wei. I didn’t expect to run into you two afterward.”

Originally, she had been avoiding confronting the incident, even the fact that Wei Hanliang saved them. She hadn’t specifically thanked him because just the thought of Wei Hanliang reminded her of the year she mistakenly thought Mo Guowei had saved her.

However, she really hadn’t expected to meet Wei Hanliang on the street today, and Wei Hanliang still remembered her.

At this moment, she suddenly realized she couldn’t keep running away, so she took the initiative to start a conversation with Wei Hanliang, even planning to invite him to dinner to thank him for saving them.

”Mr. Wei, are you free this weekend? If you don’t have any plans, let’s have dinner together.”

Upon hearing Ding Yuejun’s invitation, Wei Hanliang did not refuse but smiled and nodded, ”Sure.”

”Then it’s settled.”

Wei Hanliang checked the time, didn’t linger further, and confirmed the address with Ding Yuejun before bidding goodbye to Gu Tingyu and leaving.

After Wei Hanliang left, Yiyi immediately turned to Gu Tingyu and asked, ”Do you know Mr. Wei?”

”Uncle Wei is Zixiao’s uncle.”

”What...”

Now Yiyi was truly surprised, ”But I didn’t hear about this before.”

”Because Uncle Wei just recently got transferred back to Shangjing.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi couldn’t help but marvel at the mystery of fate.

Ding Yuejun finally recalled what Wei Zixiao looked like, and she couldn’t help but laugh, ”It seems everyone is quite connected.”

Finally, she smiled at her daughter and Gu Tingyu, ”Alright, I’m heading back first. You two go ahead and keep strolling.”
