Chapter 71: Intimacy, Asking for the Truth

Zhao Manman, wearing Valentino, arrived in front of the three.

Zhou Mengmeng looked at the powerful aura of Zhao Manman and felt very envious.

This was Ji Zhiting's mother; she was truly beautiful, and her hip-hugging skirt and black silk legs were very eye-catching.

She herself couldn't wear high heels well.

Looking at Li Zhiyan, she thought that he would probably like her to wear high heels.

She would have to work hard in the future.

Li Zhiyan could tell that Zhao Manman's mental state was still quite good.

However, he absolutely had to tell Zhao Manman about Ji Yunhai's matter.

Fortunately, he was by her side this time.

"This must be Mengmeng, she's so pretty."

Hearing Zhao Manman's praise, Zhou Mengmeng felt very embarrassed, lowering her head, unsure how to respond.

Li Zhiyan glanced at Zhao Manman.

"Mom, Mengmeng is just like this; she usually doesn't like to talk to people much."

"That's why she's like this."

Zhao Manman could tell that Li Zhiyan had truly put in a lot of effort for Ji Zhiting.

He even knew her dorm mates so clearly.

All of this was for Xiao Ting.

He was truly very good to his family.

And the most commendable thing was that despite his extraordinary nature, he still cared so much for her and Xiao Ting.

This was a kindness beyond what was expected.

Meng Ting really shouldn't have divorced him back then.

This was probably Meng Ting's biggest mistake in life.

"Mom, let's find a place to eat first."

"I'm hungry."

Ji Zhiting had always been very interested in food.

It had been like this since she was little, and now it was close to noon.

She was indeed hungry.

"Okay, baby, let's go eat."

Listening to Zhao Manman's address for Ji Zhiting, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but recall Zhao Manman's WeChat notes for the three of them.

Led by Zhao Manman, the group arrived at a relatively high-end restaurant.

After sitting down, Ji Zhiting began to order; in front of Zhao Manman, she was truly unrestrained.

Her mother was her greatest support in this life.

Zhao Manman looked at Li Zhiyan; she really wanted to ask about Ji Yunhai's matter.

She had some suspicions...

Perhaps Li Zhiyan already had some evidence, but was just worried she couldn't handle it.

That's why he changed his words that day; Zhao Manman could understand many things.

However, now that she had come to Suzhou, she would have plenty of opportunities to talk to him later.

"Mom, it seems like there aren't many people in the restaurant today."

Zhao Manman stroked Ji Zhiting's head.

"Of course, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for reunion; most people are eating at home."

She thought that if it weren't for Li Zhiyan and Ji Zhiting.

Then she would also be staying at home all alone today.

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Manman felt desolate.

However, being with the three children truly felt fulfilling.

"It's okay, Mom, we're together today too."

"My dad is probably very lonely at home by himself."

Zhao Manman didn't speak, but looked at Li Zhiyan.

"Perhaps."

In her heart, she was truly utterly disappointed with Ji Yunhai; Ji Yunhai's actions towards her.

And the level of care from her children towards her.

It was truly a world of difference.

"Xiao Ting, it's a holiday today, eat more."

Looking at Zhao Manman, who was so gentle with Ji Zhiting, Zhou Mengmeng felt very envious.

Ji Zhiting's mother was truly too good to her.

As for her own parents, they never cared for her at all; all they thought about was their business.

Her sister did show her some concern.

But, not much...

Li Zhiyan sensed Zhou Mengmeng's emotions.

This girl was indeed too starved for affection.

She seemed so pitiful...

If he hadn't brought her out during the National Day holiday, she would still be staying alone in the dorm now.

The few of them chatted, all about past events.

Zhao Manman and Li Zhiyan tacitly avoided discussing that matter.

Li Zhiyan intended to tell Ji Zhiting about this matter.

After all, once he brought out the evidence.

Li Zhiyan could already imagine the series of events that would follow.

As a daughter, Ji Zhiting would definitely find out.

Lunchtime passed quickly.

After leaving the restaurant, Ji Zhiting said excitedly, "Let's go see the gardens."

Suzhou's gardens are very famous.

Tourists usually visit these ancient buildings.

Li Zhiyan actually had plans to buy a garden courtyard villa here.

It would be very nice to come here for vacations when he had nothing to do.

As his wealth continued to increase, he could buy a house anywhere with a scenic view...

After making their plans, the four quickly set off.

Upon reaching their destination, the group first found a hotel to settle down.

Rooms were very tight; when Li Zhiyan and the others arrived.

Only two rooms were left, and Li Zhiyan didn't hesitate, booking both of them.

After putting away their luggage.

The group then set off to see the gardens.

"Mom..."

"So many people! It's a holiday, everyone's out playing."

Li Zhiyan pinched Ji Zhiting's bun.

"Actually, today, Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't so bad; it's in the next few days that there will be a lot of people."

"We can play for a few days while it's not so crowded and then go back."

After buying tickets, the group entered the ancient-style gardens.

"Mengmeng, let's go take pictures by the water; help me take a few photos."

Ji Zhiting pulled Zhou Mengmeng and left.

Li Zhiyan, meanwhile, came to the ancient-style corridor in front with Zhao Manman.

In front, many pedestrians were walking towards them.

Li Zhiyan used his arm to block Zhao Manman, shielding her in a small area to prevent others from bumping into her.

Zhao Manman's fair hands clenched, slightly exerting force.

She didn't know why, but she kept thinking about Yang Xintao's matter.

"Mom, does the back of your head still hurt?"

Li Zhiyan asked with concern.

"It's fine, Xiao Yan, it was just a bit swollen at the time."

Listening to Li Zhiyan's concern for her, Zhao Manman felt very warm in her heart.

Li Zhiyan turned around and looked at the back of Zhao Manman's head.

He gently touched it and felt that it was still slightly swollen.

"You're still a bit injured."

"Sit down, I'll help you rub it."

Zhao Manman recalled Li Zhiyan rubbing her ankle before; in this regard, he did have some professional ability.

Zhao Manman sat on a nearby stone platform, and Li Zhiyan also sat beside her.

"Mom, lean your head on my lap."

"It'll be easier this way."

Zhao Manman obediently leaned her head over, resting on Li Zhiyan's lap from the side.

Li Zhiyan very carefully helped Zhao Manman massage the swollen areas on the back of her head.

He deeply regretted having somewhat rashly told Zhao Manman about that matter before.

At first, he just wanted to give her a heads-up; he had hinted a few times before, but he really underestimated her reaction.

"About Uncle Ji's matter, you actually have a conclusion, don't you?"
