Chapter 363
"Got it, got it."
Huang Duo Duo quickly handed the things in her hand to Huang De Han.
Huang De Han took them and asked, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Huang Duo Duo quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, my grandma will worry if she doesn't see me."
Huang De Han replied, "Alright, you go back quickly. Remember, don't tell anyone that I'm here."
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't say anything."
Seeing Huang De Han's pale face, Huang Duo Duo couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you okay?"
Huang De Han leaned against the wall, forcing a smile and said, "I'm fine, you should go back quickly."
"Then I'll go. Goodbye, Dad."
Just as she took a few steps, Huang Duo Duo felt the money in her pocket. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't given the money to her dad yet, so she hurriedly turned around and stopped Huang De Han, who was about to close the door. "Dad, wait a minute."
The hand that was closing the door paused, and Huang De Han asked, "What's the matter?"
Huang Duo Duo quickly took out the money from her pocket and said, "Dad, do you not have money to eat? This is the money my grandma gave me, you take it."
Saying that, Huang Duo Duo stuffed all the money into Huang De Han's hand.
Huang De Han was deeply moved. She was truly his little cotton jacket!
It wasn't in vain that he had doted on her. Daughters were indeed the best.
Huang De Han was so touched that his eyes became moist. He accepted the money and said, "Alright, go back quickly."
"Okay!"
Huang Duo Duo responded and turned around to run downstairs.
She had sneaked out and needed to hurry back. Huang Duo Duo ran out of the neighborhood in a hurry and coincidentally bumped into Li Man and Huo Jian Sheng.
When Huang Duo Duo looked up and saw Li Man, she was immediately scared and broke out in a cold sweat. She stuttered, "M-Mom... Mom..."
Li Man glanced at the neighborhood behind Huang Duo Duo, furrowing her eyebrows, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"N-Nothing..." Huang Duo Duo's eyes avoided Li Man's gaze, and she was extremely anxious.
"Look at me when I'm talking!" Li Man suddenly snapped coldly.
Huang Duo Duo was startled, shivering, and dared not look at Li Man.
"Why did you come here?"
Li Man suppressed her anger and tried to ask in a calm tone.
Huang Duo Duo hung her head, scared and at a loss for words. She couldn't think of any reason to deceive Li Man.
If they were in Shenzhen City, she could lie and say she came to visit a classmate.
But this was Ancheng City, where she had no friends or classmates. Who could she come to see?
Trembling, she said, "N-Nothing..."
Seeing Huang Duo Duo's pale face out of fear, Huo Jian Sheng spoke up, "Alright, it's cold outside. Let the child go home first. We can talk about it later."
Li Man finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You go back first, and I'll come back later."
"Okay!"
Huang Duo Duo felt as if she had been granted amnesty and swiftly ran away.
Li Man stood in place, watching Huang Duo Duo run into the neighborhood, then turned to Huo Jian Sheng, frowning. "Don't you think she's acting strange?"
"Huo Jian Sheng suppressed a smile and said, 'You scared the child just now. Asking like that won't get us anywhere.'
As he spoke, his eyes gazed towards the residential area where Huang Duo Duo had just run out from, lost in thought.
'Well, how should we ask then?'
Huo Jian Sheng didn't answer Li Man's question directly. Instead, he asked, 'Why do you think Duo Duo came here?'
'How would I know?' Li Man looked bewildered."
