The young girl spoke softly, "Ah Man said that Mom and the mom of that brother are discussing something very important."
Liu Hua pressed her forehead and sighed, "Ah Yan, if you're ever bullied, remember to tell Mom and Brother, okay?"
Ye Anning added with a serious expression, "And Sister too."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Hua's previously gloomy face became less frightening. She looked helplessly at her silly child.
The silly child obediently nodded, "Okay!"
Liu Hua sighed and decided to cancel the contract she had previously made with those people when she left.
How dare they bully her precious daughter.
Sui Yan had no idea what had happened and looked confusedly at everyone's solemn expressions. She timidly asked, "Brother... Sister, what's wrong with you guys?"
Qiao Ze snapped back to reality and gently rubbed her head, "It's nothing, that brother ate your chocolate, oh."
Sui Yan didn't think too much about it and immediately had her attention diverted, "Okay!"
With everything settled, Liu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around at the people resting nearby and raised her eyebrows, asking, "Shall we go out for a meal?"
Sui Jinhong instinctively glanced at Ye Wan, who smiled and replied, "Sure."
Liu Hua nodded and turned to Qi Linhan, "How should we arrange for this child? Where is your home?"
Qi Linhan stood up respectfully and answered, "Auntie, my home is right next door."
Liu Hua squinted her eyes, "What a coincidence?" Although she didn't want to doubt a child, the situation was indeed special.
Qi Linhan glanced lightly at the people beside him, and one of them immediately said, "Madam, we just bought the house next door."
As an experienced father, Sui Jinhong's intuition was surprisingly sensitive, "Isn't that even more coincidental?"
Qi Linhan's face turned serious, "Uncle, I was planning to settle in this city. My parents will come over in a while. So, when we ran into... you all, we decided to buy the house next to yours."
Sui Yan and the others naturally knew that things weren't like that. Based on how things were developing, Sui Yan wasn't supposed to meet Qi Linhan again for several more years.
But now, they could see each other every day. Just as they were worried that their little sister might be taken away, they couldn't say anything!
How frustrating!
Sui Jinhong reluctantly believed this explanation and nodded, "Okay."
Sui Yan, who had been listening nearby, suddenly leaned over, her eyes shining brightly, and asked, "Can Brother Linhan play with us in the future too?"
Qi Linhan's gaze softened, "Of course."
The little girl became ecstatic in an instant and jumped up and down, cheering, "Oh!"
Liu Hua pressed down on her little head, "Why is Sui Yan so happy?"
Sui Yan looked up at the adults, "Mommy, there will be many brothers and sisters to play with Sui Yan in the future!"
Liu Hua suddenly felt like she had been mistreating her daughter before. Qiao Ze had a cold personality and didn't play with the little girl much before, at most just watching her from the side.
This is the first time Sui Yan has encountered true companions.
Liu Hua gently pinched the little girl's face. "Ah Yan, you will have more friends in the future."
Sui Yan blinked and turned to hold Ye Anning's hand. "Sister, there will be more friends in the future, but I still like you the most, Sister."
Ye Anning was taken aback, holding the little child's soft palm. "Alright."
Sui Yu remained calm and asked, "Ah Yan, what about the older brother?"
Sui Yan blinked and felt a bit embarrassed, hiding behind Ye Anning. She peeked out and looked at them. "There's also Nian Nian... the older brother is also very important!"
As soon as Shen Nian was mentioned, everyone's expressions changed.
Liu Hua had no idea what had happened and while taking the keys, she lowered her head and asked her little girl, "Ah Yan, who is Nian Nian?"
The little girl held her sister's hand and walked outside. "It's Nian Nian, Nian Nian sister."
Sui Jinhong looked at the little girl's playful manner and couldn't help but explain with a smile. "She's a little girl who found Ah Yan."
After the explanation, Liu Hua finally learned that there had been such a dangerous incident before.
She narrowed her eyes and planned to find some time to teach that little girl a lesson.
Sui Yan was unaware that her mother was contemplating scolding her, and she waved happily to a group of adults. "Dad, Mom, Aunt Ye, come on!"
Liu Hua glanced at the silly child and said to the others, "Let's go, we've been busy for so long, we must be hungry."
In the car, originally, the children all wanted to ride in Liu Hua's car and sit with Sui Yan. But there were too many people, and Ah Man was also there, so everyone had to take other cars.
Except for Ye Anning.
Liu Hua started the car, and she glanced at the two little girls holding hands through the rearview mirror, unable to help but ask, "Ah Yan, why do you like Sister so much?"
Sui Yan sat in the middle, holding Ye Anning's hand with one hand and Ah Man's hand with the other. She swung her legs and said, "I just like her. Sister is so beautiful and she's so good to me."
Liu Hua smiled and shook her head, ignoring these children.
Only Ye Anning involuntarily tightened her grip on Sui Yan's hand.
In the past life... Sui Yan also felt the same way, right? But at the most desperate moment, she said the most vicious words to her.
Liu Hua had always been in this city, so she was quite familiar with it. She leisurely and familiarly drove to the entrance of a low-key restaurant, then casually parked the car.
Sui Jinhong and Qi Linhan's cars behind also stopped.
Liu Hua leaned against the car and lazily said, "Is this place okay?"
No one had any objections.
Sui Yan looked around for a while, and while being led by Ye Anning, she caught up with the adults.
She gently tugged at Ye Anning's hand and whispered in her puzzled gaze, "Sister, I saw Nian Nian's car, oh."
Ye Anning subconsciously glanced around and smiled as she ruffled the little girl's head. "Ah Yan, many cars look the same, you know."
Sui Yan was resolute for some unknown reason, saying, "It's different! The brand is different!"
Ye Anning was taken aback and asked, "Ah Yan, do you remember her family's license plate?"
The young girl arrogantly tilted her head and replied, "Yeah!"
Ye Anning furrowed her brows slightly. In the current uncertain situation with Shen Nian... she didn't welcome her.
Just as she was thinking about it, the young girl made a new discovery. She grabbed Ye Anning's hand and ran forward until she reached Sui Jinhong's side before saying to him, "Daddy, I just saw Nian Nian!"
Ye Anning's frown deepened, and Liu Hua casually asked, "Where was she?"
Sui Yan's eyes lit up and she said, "Over there... Mommy, can I go say hello to Nian Nian?"
Liu Hua followed her gaze and unsurprisingly saw a warm family of three sitting by the window in the restaurant, enjoying their meal.
Liu Hua halted her steps, which were about to follow the waiter upstairs, and nodded, "Sure, just say hello and come back, okay?"
The young girl looked even happier and replied, "Okay!"
