Just when Li Jiu was puzzled, a voice suddenly came from behind him: &lqo;Xiao Jiu? &rqo;

Old Man Li stood by the door, looking at Li Jiu with some surprise, and when his eyes fell on the thing she was holding, his expression changed slightly, but it was only fleeting.

He asked, "How did you get here?" &rqo;

Li Jiu lowered his eyes, removed the look in his eyes, put the newspaper back in its place, and replied casually: &lqo; I want to talk to you. &rqo;

&lqo;Oh? &rqo;

Old Man Li raised his eyebrows in surprise, her temperament was very indifferent, and she rarely took the initiative to chat with someone.

&lqo;What to talk about? &rqo;

He walked up to him, folded the newspaper and put it away, and sat down unhurriedly, so that no one could see anything unusual.

Li Jiu raised his head, met his gaze, and asked softly: &lqo; Grandpa, do you have anything to hide from me? &rqo;

Old Man Li looked stunned, his eyes flashed, thinking that she had discovered something, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: &lqo; Why do you say that? &rqo;

&lqo;Since my identity was revealed, you don't seem too surprised. &rqo;she said.

To be precise, except for the surprised and stunned look he showed when Dean Liu announced it himself at that cocktail party, he didn't seem to react too much at other times.

Very calm.

Just like when their mother and daughter were buried in the fire, he did not continue to investigate.

It's as if he's deliberately hiding something.

A glint of light crossed Li Jiu's eyes.

Although she probably already had a guess in her heart based on her recent performances, she still wanted to hear him say it himself.

Old Man Li chuckled, &lqo;I had doubts about your identity before, and Lao Liu also informed me before the identification, isn't it natural not to be surprised? &rqo;

&lqo;Then you didn't doubt it? &rqo;

Mr. Lai: &lqo; What? &rqo;

&lqo;Wondered why I survived the fire, where did my mother go, and who was behind it? &rqo;

Li Jiu looked at him indifferently, but the words he asked were like throwing a bombshell.

Old Man Li's expression froze immediately, and then he sighed: &lqo;I didn't want to mention this so quickly. &rqo;

At this point, he and Li Shen have the same opinion, they have just recognized Li Jiu in the real sense, they don't know anything about what she has experienced over the years, if she rashly mentions the old things of the past years, I am afraid it will remind her of unpleasant things.

Therefore, they decided to keep their mouths shut and ask when the time came.

Li Jiu hooked his lips slightly, and said: &lqo; I understand your hard work, but there is no need, I am not as fragile as you think, so you don't have to worry too much. &rqo;

Her eyes were firmly fixed on Old Man Li, &lqo;grandpa, aside from these factors of worrying about me, don't you have any other concerns? &rqo;

Old Man Li was silent.

She continued: "I can feel that you are avoiding the events of the past, and even more so, you don't even want to mention them. &rqo;

Old Man Li sighed: &lqo;Xiao Jiu&ellp;&ellp;&rqo;

His shoulders sank slightly, his expression seemed to have aged a lot, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Li Jiu didn't intend to stop there, and still asked relentlessly: &lqo; since you don't want to mention it, why do you care about that murder case, and how much do you know? &rqo;

Old Man Li's face changed suddenly, his pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at her in amazement: &lqo; You know? &rqo;

Li Jiu nodded: &lqo;yes, I know. &rqo;

&lqo;I know more than you think, so please don't hide it anymore. &rqo;

Old Man Li looked at her, pursed his lips tightly, his face was heavy, and he didn't know what to say.

That's right, she is the o of MZ, the head of the Mo family, it is impossible to know nothing about the events of the year, that is ridiculous.

He sighed and shook his head.

Unexpectedly, this secret was buried in his heart for decades, and he didn't even tell Li Shen and others, but he was asked by his granddaughter again and again.

It's fate.
