Chapter 29 - 024: Just Hang Myself with a Noodle!
"Luowa, I'm an old hand at this. At my age, I can tell who's genuine and who's not. He helped us without asking for anything in return, so why wouldn't I trust him? Besides, you know the situation better than I do—we can't go head-to-head with your mom. Do you know how many people were involved in today's setup? We couldn't have pulled it off with just our own strength."
Uncle Li finished speaking and affectionately patted Yi Luowa's head. "Child, you have to trust Uncle Li's judgment. He's definitely a good man. He stepped up for us, saved your second uncle's life, and safeguarded the hard-earned family business. He's our benefactor!"
Yi Luowa let out a faint laugh. Why was it that she couldn't see the "goodness" in him?
"Luowa, did you and him have some kind of misunderstanding?" Uncle Li looked at her suspiciously.
Yi Luowa rubbed her hand against her pants repeatedly and mouthed, "No misunderstanding—it's a grudge! I'm the one who broke his ribs."
Uncle Li and Ao Xiang were both stunned.
"My enemy would help me? Uncle Li, do you believe that?" Yi Luowa looked at him.
Uncle Li thought for a while. "Alright, tell me, why did you break his ribs?"
"He hasn't told you any of this?" Yi Luowa saw Uncle Li shake his head. She mouthed, "After winning the championship at Xiawu, I went up the mountain to show off to my second uncle. Right then, I was video-calling with him when that guy climbed up from below the cliff and accidentally grabbed my foot. I was startled and fell off the edge. He rescued me."
Recalling the event, Yi Luowa rubbed her hands on her clothing endlessly. The more she tried to forget, the clearer the scene replayed in her mind.
"So he's actually your savior!"
