Obviously, Ji Xiehan was the only man who could get within ten steps of Li Yuming. 

Other mothers would be upset if someone pursued their nineteen-year-old daughter, but Li Yuming was, in fact, happy.

Don't get it wrong. She was only happy because the other person was Ji Xiehan. Anyone else would have been kicked out by her at the very least. 

"Xiao Han, do you have something on your mind?" Halfway through the meal, Li Yuming realized that Ji Xiehan seemed nervous. It must be for this reason that he came to have dinner with her. Especially since he came when Li Lanni wasn't home, it wasn't hard to make a guess. 

He smiled slightly. "Erm, yes. Aunty Li is sure attentive." 

Li Yuming chuckled a bit. She was a mother. Of course, she would know. "What is it? You can tell Aunty anything." 

Ji Xiehan thought about his words for a while, and after a few seconds of consideration, he decided that this was the best timing. "Aunty, can you tell me about Lanni?" 

As soon as his words fell, Li Yuming's eyes widened then she set down her cutlery. A smile bloomed on her face. 

Ji Xiehan knew that she had misunderstood the reason behind his question, but he didn't explain. She wasn't entirely wrong. He did indeed want to know more about her because he loved her. Only that this time, there was a more significant reason. 

"What exactly do you want to know?" Li Yuming asked after calming her excitement. 

Ji Xiehan calculated in his mind before slowly saying, "everything from a year ago... and a little more than a year ago maybe." 

Li Yuming didn't think much about it. It was only reasonable for a man to single out a girl's a.d.u.l.thood. The childhood years wouldn't help much since she was still unreasonable anyway. 

JiXiehan set down his cutlery and patiently waited for her to continue. But for some reason, Li Yuming was a little gloomy when she recalled that period. Or maybe she was just nostalgic. "Well, Lanni has always been sensible. She was quite popular in school, had many friends, and was as cheerful as a young girl can be. Not only that, but her grades have also always been excellent. As for outside school, nothing really fazed her." 

"What about her relationship with people she was close to?" Ji Xiehan asked indirectly. He wanted to know if Jiang Xingyu and Li Lanni were really in a relationship.

Li Yuming only thought that he was curious about Li Lanni's previous relationsh.i.p.s and was very amused. "Well, she did have a boyfriend for a while, a senior from her school. Their relationship started on a whim, and when they realized that they didn't really like each other, they became friends."

That must be Yang Su, Ji Xiehan thought. From his investigation, Lanni was with someone else when she had that accident. At this point, he gave himself a good scolding in his heart. He had already known that Li Lanni was with someone else at the time. Why did he still come to ask? It must be because that Jiang Xingyu made him overthink. 

"Does she have amnesia?". Even though he knew that she did because he had investigated her a little, he felt obligated to ask as a good future son-in-law. He didn't want to leave a bad impression of himself before his future mother-in-law, so he ignorantly asked. 

Li Yuming was a little sad. "She had an accident about nine months ago. It resulted in temporary amnesia. The doctors said she would recover her memory with time." 

Ji Xiehan knew this too. 

"Could you tell me more about this accident?" 

Although she felt it was a little private, Li Yuming recalled her own suspicions. She had always believed that what happened at that time was not an accident but someone's attempt to hurt Lanni. But the police had long closed the investigation because there was nothing to prove that it was not an accident. She knew that Ji Xiehan might be of help. If there were anything one mind couldn't solve, two minds would solve. And Ji Xiehan liked her Lanni so it shouldn't be a problem. 

"I just said Lanni was always obedient and sensible, right? Well, that was until she turned eighteen. But later, she strangely got estranged to me. It's not the usual mother-daughter scuffle. She hated me to the core. 

She didn't tell me why she did either. She only kept saying that I'm a liar, and her whole life had been a lie." 

When Ji Xiehan saw the pain and sorrow in her eyes, he felt guilty. He wondered whether he had done the right thing by asking. He seemed to have jabbed a scar in Li Yuming's heart. 

Li Yuming had kept it in for too long, and now that the wound had been opened, she really wanted to let it out. "Every day was a nightmare. She would lock herself up in her room and ignore everyone. She wouldn't tell anyone what was happening. As a mother, I just couldn't stand my daughter giving me the cold shoulder all the time. I really wanted to know what was going on, but she wouldn't even speak to me. I was worried that something had happened to her or that she might be in trouble. I was most concerned that she might fall into depression by keeping all her feelings to herself.

So I wanted to hire a therapist.

But then I realized that she had started meeting someone in secret." 

Ji Xiehan's back went stiff. This must be where Jiang Xingyu came in. 

"After meeting that person, she became happier. 

She gradually stopped locking herself up. I was happy for her and happy that she was getting back to normal. 

But that was simply the calm before the storm. 

One night, we had an argument, and she simply made a phone call and waltzed out of the house. I thought that since she was your sister's friend, she was going to spend the night at your home.
