295 Kindergarten Figh (1/2)

At first, Ying's eyes widened then she narrowed her eyes at Cali who was smiling innocently in response. Ying really wanted to throw something at her head.

”Cali, what is this?”

Cali took a sip of the cocktail and replied, ”Don't look so angry, Ying. Last time I met my cousin, she was only eight. Obviously, I'd have a photo from back then. If I had her current picture, I wouldn't be having this headache.”

The girl in the photo that Ying held looked to be about eight or nine. Even her features hadn't been matured yet. But what caught Ying's attention after observing clearly was the little girl's eyes. Those honey brown eyes were exactly like Xin Zimen. She really didn't know about Cali's headache but she certainly was getting a headache now.

She rubbed her temples to ease the pain but it didn't seem to work at all. ”She came here with her mother?”

”Yes, Destiny indeed left with her mother. As for the rest, I'm not certain,” answered Cali honestly.

”This doesn't make sense. She was mentioned nowhere. In fact, even the family block on Carina Novell's hospital paperwork was left empty.”

Cali traced the little infinity tattoo that was on the space between her index finger and her thumb. She was contemplating something before she began, ”I don't know about you. But I can tell you what doesn't make sense to me...” Ying lifted her brows slightly while Cali continued, ”Why were you so desperately looking for my aunt? And now, you seem very interested in my cousin as well.” She intertwined her fingers to support her chin as she went on, ”Isn't it time for you to come clean?”

Ying sighed out, ”You already know why I am so interested.”

Cali's eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke, ”That means, my intuition is right. You do know who Destiny's father is.”

”If I'm on the right track then yes,” answered Ying. Before Cali could open her mouth to say anything she added, ”But I can assure you that your aunt never met him. Moreover, I don't think he even knows about the existence of Destiny. It might seem odd but it's true.”

Cali listened to her silently and calmly before inquiring, ”Who is he?”

”That...” Ying looked around before saying, ”I won't tell you. At least, not until I'm certain about this.” She took a brief pause and added, ”So, can you please give me some time? I'll answer all of your queries. I give you my word.”

Cali really didn't know why but just like last time, she was willing to trust her words. It was surprising how this gangster-like scholar actually had such a reassuring aura that even Cali believed nobody would be able to say no to her.

”I can trust you but you have to help me,” she put forth her condition.

Ying smiled at her words saying, ”Even if you don't say, I'm gonna do everything in my power to find Destiny. Something tells me, it's gonna be a fun ride.”

Just one step inside and Xiu had already announced, ”I'm bored already. Let's leave.”
