Over there, munching on sunflower seeds and chatting with his card-playing friends about the girl's background, Li Quezi was momentarily stunned after hearing his wife's words.
"Hey! Is my daughter really back! Why come back now? Your mom and I were planning to go to Jinling to pick you up!"
With so many family and friends watching, Li Shiqi's sudden return indeed gave Li Quezi quite a boost in status. Of course, Li Quezi was happy and eagerly welcomed her, holding his head high, as if to say, "Look! My daughter!"
This is my daughter!
Li Quezi warmly walked over, smiling as he tried to drag Li Shiqi into the house, and said, "Come in quickly! Mom and Dad have been waiting for you to come back for the New Year!"
Looking at Li Quezi's outstretched hand.
Li Shiqi slightly dodged to the side, and Li Quezi's hand immediately missed its mark, his facial smile freezing as well.
But Li Shiqi coldly said, "No need."
"I'm here to pack my things. Once I'm done, I'll leave."
