“We want to talk to you. Do you have time?” Ji Jing said.”
She looked around, trying to find a place where the little girl would feel a little safer.” It’s next to the convenience store. Is that okay?”
Li Tao followed Ji Jing’s finger and saw a small shop not far from the Li family’s left.
The shop owner was a warm-hearted sister. She was watching a drama while peeling melon seeds in the shop. There was a surveillance camera installed at the entrance of the shop. If she stood beside the small shop and spoke, she would be photographed.
From this position, if anything happened, she would definitely be heard by the shop owner if she shouted.
Hence, Li Tao agreed.
They walked to the empty space next to the convenience store. Li Tao said,”You guys go ahead.”
Perhaps it was because she had experienced too much during this period of time, but Li Tao had a mature temperament that exceeded her peers.
Along the way, the Song Dynasty’s Conqueror was very excited. After all, they could finally solve the dream. However, when it came to the little girl, he did not know where to start.
If she were to tell the truth that ” your father visited us in our dreams every day because he was worried about you “, it would sound a little ridiculous and too much like a lie.
Song Chao hesitated for a moment before he changed his words.” Well, it’s like this. Mr. Li met with misfortune at our KTV. We’re very sorry. My niece is in the same school as you. A few days ago, she said that you transferred schools, so I came to understand the situation and see if there’s anything I can help you with.”
Li Tao remembered the Song Dynasty because he was also there on the day the police settled the compensation. He was the one who paid the compensation the fastest.
Although her father had left at a KTV, she knew that the colleagues who had forced him to drink were the most hateful people. She did not have any ill feelings towards Boss Song.
But did a KTV owner need to do this? He came all the way here to care about a customer’s daughter?
Li Tao was a little skeptical.” Is that so…”
Seeing this, Ji Jing quickly added,” We’re here to look for you. Actually, we have a financial aid fund for children in need. It’s called the Lingyun Fund. You can look it up online. It’s legal.” Mr. Li’s matter just happens to meet the conditions for the Lingyun Foundation’s funding, so we want to know if you need help.”
Ji Jing planned to ask about Li Tao from a more tactful angle.
“Lingyun Foundation?” Li Tao looked at Ji Jing in surprise. She really knew about this fund. She also wanted to go back to her original school, so she had specially learned about all kinds of funding programs. The Lingyun Foundation was one of them.
However, most of the funding required poverty certification, and she did not meet it.
“Are you really from the Lingyun Foundation?”Li Tao asked again.
“Yes, I am.” Ji Jing nodded. The Lingyun Foundation was a charity fund established by the Lingyun Temple.” It’s verified on the official website. My name on the Lingyun Foundation’s official website is Purple Bamboo, and the photo is me.”
Only then did Li Tao trust Ji Jing. She hesitated for a moment and decided to seize this opportunity.” My aunt and uncle said that my father’s assets have been frozen in the bank and he can’t withdraw them, but I…”
“Sigh! Who are you? Why are you looking for Xiao Tao?!” Suddenly, a sharp female voice interrupted their conversation.
Ji Jing turned around and saw a middle-aged woman standing at the entrance of the Li family’s house. She was probably Li Tao’s aunt, Wang Cui.
When Li Tao saw the auntie, she subconsciously took two steps back. When she reacted, she quickly went forward to stop her.” Auntie, it’s okay. They’re here to look for…”
“Pa!”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged auntie didn’t wait for Li Tao to finish her sentence and slapped her.
“What are you doing!” Ji Jing and Song Chao shouted in unison.
They were all shocked by this sudden slap.
Ji Jing wanted to step forward and pull Li Tao away, but the auntie pulled Li Tao back first.
Li Tao seemed to be stunned by the slap. She subconsciously covered her face and did not say anything.
“This damned child! How can you associate with such a person!” Cui Wang’s voice was very loud and had already attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers.
“We’re only here today to ask Li Tao…” Song Chao hurriedly explained, but he was interrupted by Li Tao’s aunt.
“I don’t care who you are! Don’t even think about getting close to our Xiao Tao! Did she really think that she could bully others just because her father was dead?”Wang Cui pointed at Song Chao as she pushed Li Tao through the door.
“Get lost! If you come any closer, I’ll call the police!” As she spoke, Wang Cui also flashed behind the door and closed the big iron door.
“Bang!” The loud sound of the iron door made Song Chao and Ji Jing tremble subconsciously.
