Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Break Your Leg!
She squinted her eyes towards the sky.
Ye Lei, how are you doing now?
“Mom…”
A small voice came from YingEr next to her. Liu Sisi looked down to see YingEr standing there, with a downcast head and a flustered face, constantly fiddling with her dress hem.
Liu Sisi looked at her for a moment, suddenly feeling unsure of what to say.
Eventually, she settled on the simplest topic: “Why haven’t you gone in to eat yet?”
“Mom, I’m sorry… YingEr didn’t do it on purpose! Second Aunt said that you deliberately didn’t save Dad, that’s why Brother got mad… sob sob… ”
YingEr was speaking and crying, growing more and more upset.
Liu Sisi’s heart eventually softened. She gently walked over to YingEr, quietly picked her up, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
“Trust mom, I’ll definitely rescue your father! You understand, right?”
“Yes! Mom, sob sob…”
YingEr suddenly buried herself into Liu Sisi’s arms, sobbing loudly.
In the room, Di Xuan watched everything going on outside through the crack in the door. He silently closed the door, leaning against it with his back.
I hope Dad is okay!
Spring nights still carried a coldness. The surroundings were pitch black and the lamp in the room had gone out. Liu Sisi sat quietly by the window beneath the rising crescent moon.
After an unspecified amount of time had passed, the cautious low growls of Ah-Hua and Ah-Huang came from outside. Soon enough, all was quiet again.
Liu Sisi got up from the chair and grabbed a flint to light a candle. Only then did she gently open the window.
“Mrs Di.”
A low call came from outside the window. Shortly afterwards, a silhouette appeared before the window.
“What’s the situation?”
Liu Sisi cut straight to the point, no unnecessary words.
“Everything turned out exactly as Mrs Di predicted, down to every detail! Our people have successfully set up surveillance, all that’s left is to execute the next step.”
“Good, very good! Tell them to keep up the surveillance. If the other side makes a move, take immediate action. There’s no need for further instruction.”
Liu Sisi’s face was filled with resolve.
“Understood.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave!”
“…”
“What’s the matter? Is there something else you want to say?” Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow in surprise as she looked at the figure.
The silhouette remained still for quite a while before finally speaking: “Your father hit your mother again yesterday.”
“…Why?”
Why did he hit her? Why was he bringing this up now?
Liu Sisi remained silent for a moment: “I thought they would be happier if they didn’t see me again.”
After finishing her thought, she moved away from the window and sat down on a chair nearby.
Just an adopted daughter! It was understandable if they didn’t value her.
When she found out about her origins, she had always tried to avoid the topic of her foster parents. But now it seemed, the time had come to confront the issue.
She once felt so much pain and sadness, but now after learning the truth, her heart strangely felt much lighter.
At the very least, she had let go of the resentment in her heart.
The silhouette fell into silence.
After quite a long time, Liu Sisi remembered the figure was still waiting there. Only then did she raise her head to look at the shadow.
