Li Meifeng gritted her teeth and rolled up her sleeves to take action.

Unexpectedly, Lin Anning moved faster than her.

I saw two silver lights flashing by, and Li Meifeng felt a stabbing pain in her wrist, unable to lift it up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Anning pushed her away, opened the door and ran out.

Li Meifeng was still shouting, and Huo Xuehui was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"What are you yelling for? Why don't you go and chase me?"

When a few people ran out, it was cold and windy outside, with heavy snow falling. Where was Lin An Ning's shadow?

After searching around, several people were freezing.

Li Meifeng was so angry that she stomped outside without even touching Lin Anning's hair.

"Huo Xuehui, just give me a word and let me go like this?"

Huo Xuehui is also annoying you and is not in a good mood.

"Blame me? Who said you couldn't even stop a sick man? Forget it, I didn't count on you in the first place."

"She has no relatives or friends in the capital. She will come back eventually. When the time comes, you all listen to me..."

After a few people prepared their confessions, they went home.

Lin Anning was so anxious when she ran out that she didn't even wear a cotton-padded jacket.

After running far away, I was relieved when I saw that they didn't catch up with me.

The snowflakes fell all over me, and the cold wind blew, chilling my heart.

They didn't find anyone, maybe they were waiting for her at Huo's house.

There was no one I knew around here, not even a place to take shelter from the wind.

Lin Anning rubbed her arms and wanted to try her luck outside the compound to see if Huo Shen had returned.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, he bumped into Li Mingwu.

"Oh, you girl..."

Li Mingwu almost fell down, but when he looked closely at Lin Anning, he frowned.

"It's such a cold day, why don't you come to see Mr. Huo and put on two extra layers? What should you do if you get frostbite?"

Lin Anning trembled and pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"I'm not looking for Grandpa Huo. I have something to do..."

She only met Grandpa Li twice, so it was hard to tell people that she was kicked out by the Huo family's granddaughter.

Li Mingwu frowned and looked at her for a long time, then snorted.

"You're lucky, come with me."

Lin Anning didn't know why and followed him.

Li Mingwu took her back home. His family also lived in a compound, but they lived in the east, still some distance away from the Huo family.

The house is smaller than the Huo family, but the layout is pretty much the same. It is also a two-story building.

As soon as he entered the door, he patted the snow on his body and shouted upstairs.

"Meijuan, take off your cotton-padded jacket."

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

A lesbian poked her head out from upstairs. She had short ear-length hair and a round face that was quite pleasant. She looked to be no more than two years older than Lin Anning.

Li Mingwu pointed at Lin Anning: "Get her some clothes. It's such a cold day. Don't let her get sick from the cold."

"to make!"

Li Meijuan responded cheerfully and went into the house to get clothes.

Li Mingwu made a cup of malted milk for Lin Anning and handed it to her, motioning for her to sit down.

"Grandpa Li, thank you."

Li Mingwu didn't even raise his head and snorted.

"Don't worry. Thanks."

He took out the chessboard and placed it on the table.

Li Meijuan walked downstairs with the clothes, handed them to Lin Anning, and glared at Li Mingwu.

"Grandpa, you are so old, why do you still bully a little girl? Be nice to others."

"You go play chess with Grandpa Huo to keep her warm for a while."

Li Mingwu couldn't help but feel angry when he looked at Li Meijuan who didn't know anything.

"You girl, do you know who she is? She is that Huo Shen's target. Hum, it's pretty good that I brought her home, but you still expect me to treat her well?"

When Li Meijuan heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked Lin Anning up and down.

"Are you Huo Shen's partner? Really..."

Lin Anning was confused by their riddle and instinctively wanted to run away.

"Well, I'll go back first..."

"Don't worry!"

Li Meijuan took her hand, pushed her to sit down in the living room, and stuffed a hot water bottle into her hand.

"You can get that kid, you're pretty good at it! Come on, tell me, how did you do it?" "Huh? No, no..."

Lin Anning was frightened by Li Meijuan's enthusiasm and stammered, not knowing what to say.

It was Li Mingwu who saw her embarrassment and helped her.

"Okay, how did you scare me little girl?"

"I don't know where your sister went crazy again. Go and find her."

"Little girl, come here and play two games of chess with me."

Seeing that Lin Anning was really scared, Li Meijuan touched her face in embarrassment.

"I don't look scary, do I? Forget it, Huo Shen won't be able to forgive me for treating you badly. You first play chess with me."

"Don't be afraid, my father is scary-looking, but he has a good heart!"

After Li Meijuan left, Lin Anning calmed down and sat across from Li Mingwu.

The two played chess. In the first game, Lin Anning was absent-minded, but Li Mingwu easily won.

He frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"What's the matter with you girl? Are you trying to get me off your feet? Do you think I, an old man, can't beat you? Be serious, or you won't even think about going home."

Lin Anning finally figured it out. Grandpa Li had a sharp mouth and a soft heart. He looked scary, but he was actually quite good!

She composed herself and smiled.

"Okay, don't be angry if you lose later."

The two set up the chessboard and started fighting in earnest.

Lin Anning also forgot what happened just now and fell into the game.

Unconsciously, one plate after another, time passed, and she didn't even notice when Li Mingwu turned on the light.

Until there was a sound of opening the door outside, and steady footsteps came and stopped behind her.

"Grandpa Li, I'm here to pick up my partner."

Huo Shen's deep voice sounded, and Lin Anning came back to her senses.

He turned to look at her and stood up happily.

"How did you know I was here?"

Huo Shen felt relieved when he saw that she was in high spirits, her face was flushed, and she didn't look like she was being bullied.

He curled his lips and stretched out his hand.

"I just met Comrade Li outside. She told me."

"Let's go home!"

Lin Anning nodded and took the last step.

"General, Grandpa Li, you lose."

"That's it for today. I'm going home first. Thank you for taking me in."

Li Mingwu looked at Huo Shen, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"You go back first, I still have some accounts to settle with this kid."

"you……"

Lin Anning looked at Huo Shen and then at Li Mingwu suspiciously.

Huo Shen also knew that it would be impossible to go home like a normal person after this trip.

He smiled at Lin Anning, took off his scarf and gloves and put them on for her.

"It's okay, you go back first, I'll say a few words to Mr. Li and then go back, go ahead!"

Lin An Ning nodded and walked out the door, looking back three times.

As soon as she arrived outside, she saw Li Meijuan looking inside, as if she didn't dare to enter.

"Comrade Li?"

She shouted, and Li Meijuan looked at her sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, it was my problem, but Huo Shen was implicated. I'm really afraid of my old man. I owe Huo Shen this time."

"Let's go, let's take you home first."

Lin Anning and Li Meijuan returned to Huo's house. When they reached the door, she took off her clothes.

"Comrade Li, your clothes..."

"It's okay. You put it on first, don't freeze. I'll get it later when I have time."

Li Meijuan waved her hands and prepared to go home.

Lin Anning was about to knock on the door, but suddenly, the door opened.

Ren Jing looked at her with a livid face and gritted his teeth.

"Well, Lin Anning, our family has treated you very well, but you are actually very good to me, and you actually steal things from the family. Are you still a human being?"
