chapter 4 Better to die outside

In Ja Jiang's heart, a guess flashed through her mind... Could this little girl be mute? Thinking of this possibility, she felt even more sympathy for the little girl and spoke softly, "Give your hand to Auntie, okay?" Saying that, she extended her hand forward. The little girl looked at her timidly, and upon hearing her voice, her expression softened slightly. Ja Jiang wasn't in a hurry; she patiently waited for the girl to slowly accept her. After hesitating for a long time, the little girl tentatively reached out her hand towards Ja Jiang. Seeing this, Ja Jiang immediately gently held her hand, helping her up with a smile, and then checked her again. The distance between the two of them actually narrowed quite a bit due to this gesture. The little girl's body was soft, and she still had the scent of milk. Ja Jiang's heart softened, and she couldn't help but think of the child who had passed away. If she had grown up properly, she should be this age now! Thinking of this, Ja Jiang couldn't help but reveal a hint of heartache and regret in her eyes. The little girl seemed to sense her emotions and obediently remained still, but her big eyes were always fixed on Ja Jiang's face. Although she knew she shouldn't approach strangers, there was something about this Auntie that made her feel like getting closer. Seeing this scene, Ava Xi couldn't help but exclaim, "This little girl is really delicate; her looks are on par with our two big babies at home!" After finishing the examination, Ja Jiang nodded and said, "I think she must have been separated from her family. Let's take her to the police station and see if we can contact her family." As she said this, the little girl beside her suddenly tugged at her. Ja Jiang looked down in confusion. She saw the little girl shaking her head repeatedly, her watery eyes turning slightly red, as if she were very anxious and on the verge of crying. Clearly, the little girl was resistant to her suggestion. Seeing the pitiful look on the little girl's face, Ja Jiang felt her heart ache. But there was no other way; the little girl was so young, and if she didn't take her to the police station in time, she might be accused of kidnapping. Ja Jiang had a headache. "We don't have to go to the police station," she squatted down and negotiated with the little girl, "Do you have your parents' phone number? I can call them to pick you up." Upon hearing this, the little girl stopped shaking her head, but her beautiful eyes dimmed. After waiting for her response for a while, Ja Jiang thought she didn't know, so she was preparing to send her to the police station when the little girl suddenly moved. Ja Jiang watched as she took out a pen and a sticky note from her pocket and wrote a string of numbers on it, followed by the word "daddy." She handed the sticky note to Ja Jiang. Ja Jiang took it and dialed the father's number according to the digits on the sticky note. "She really is a little mute," murmured Ava Xi softly. Ja Jiang stopped what she was doing and gave her two sons a warning look. She said, "You must not say that about your little sister." The two little guys immediately stood up straight and smiled at the little girl, looking guilty. The little girl looked at them and instinctively moved closer to Ja Jiang, clutching the hem of her skirt. Ja Jiang didn't notice and confirmed the number once again before pressing the dial button... Li Family Manor... Andrew Li entered the villa's gate with a serious expression and asked, "Has Nora returned?" The butler greeted him with a worried look and said, "No, Miss Nora hasn't been seen all this time." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a heavy atmosphere around his young master. Andrew Li's lips curved into a cold, stern arc, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly. He had already searched everywhere he could think of. Where else could that little girl have gone? Could something really have happened to her? At the thought of this possibility, a fierce anger welled up in Andrew Li's heart, as if he wanted to destroy everything in the world. At that moment, a glamorous woman hurriedly entered from outside, her tone filled with anxiety. She said, "Bo Sheng, I heard that Nora is missing? Is it true? Have you found her?" The person who had arrived was Olivia Fu! The person Andrew Li had once wanted to marry! But at this moment, upon seeing her, Andrew Li's expression was not one of anger but of authority. He asked, "Haven't found her! You've come at the right time. I want to ask you, what did you say to Nora this afternoon? She was perfectly fine, why did she run away from home?" Olivia Fu was taken aback by his questioning, looking somewhat surprised. Then she gazed at him with shock and said, "Bo Sheng, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting that I did something to Nora?" She appeared hurt as she spoke, her eyes slightly red, and she seemed extremely innocent. But deep inside, where no one could see, she couldn't help but wish that the little mute never came back. In the afternoon, she had indeed said some harsh words to the little mute, even telling her that once she married Andrew Li, she would give birth to even cuter siblings. She had insinuated that Andrew Li would no longer like her. Because the little mute was mute, she wasn't afraid of her telling Andrew Li. But she hadn't expected that the little mute would actually run away! Good riddance! It would be best if she died out there, so she wouldn't have to deal with her anymore!
