Chapter 364
"Huo Jian Sheng continued, 'Duo Duo doesn't have any friends here, so who do you think she came to find?'
'What do you mean?' Li Man suddenly had a flash of insight and widened her eyes in astonishment. She covered her mouth and said, 'Are you suggesting... Huang De Han? Duo Duo came to find Huang De Han?'
It had been a long time since Huang De Han had shown up, but her hatred for him hadn't diminished one bit.
Huo Jian Sheng looked at the run-down neighborhood in front of him, his gaze becoming sharper. He said in a deep voice, 'It's just a guess, but the possibility is very high. Besides Huang De Han, I can't think of anyone else Duo Duo would come here to see.'
Yes, Duo Duo didn't have any friends or classmates here, so why did she run here?
Apart from seeing Huang De Han, Li Man couldn't think of anyone else Duo Duo would come to meet.
Meeting an online friend?
That was also a possibility.
But no matter who Duo Duo came to meet, it had to be taken seriously.
Meeting an online friend was even worse!
She was just a young girl, twelve years old. After the Lunar New Year, she would turn thirteen. Would a thirteen-year-old girl go to meet an online friend?
Meanwhile, Huang Duo Duo hurriedly ran back to the neighborhood and bumped into Zhang Yan, who had just come back after buying sugar-coated haws.
Zhang Yan saw Duo Duo running out and asked in surprise, 'Duo Duo, why did you come out?'
Duo Duo was so nervous that she stuttered, 'I, I...'
She was on the verge of tears.
Oh, why was everything going wrong today...
Seeing Duo Duo's red, frozen nose, Zhang Yan felt sorry for her and said, 'Come on, let's go home first. Look how cold you are. Are you feeling cold?'
Saying that, Zhang Yan stepped forward and hugged Duo Duo's shoulder.
The two of them returned home. Zhang Yan took off her coat and hung it in the hallway before asking, 'Duo Duo, why did you run out? It's so cold outside.'
Duo Duo hung her head, resembling a child who had done something wrong. She stuttered, 'I... I was bored at home... so I ran out...'"
Seeing Huang Duoduo in such a frightened state, Zhang Yan gently embraced her and comforted, "Don't be afraid. Grandma isn't scolding you; she's just concerned about you. Look, Grandma has bought you some candied hawthorn skewers. There are strawberry ones, hawthorn ones, and even yam bean ones. They're all for you; Grandma won't eat them."
Saying that, Zhang Yan handed the candied hawthorn skewers she had bought to Huang Duoduo.
Huang Duoduo looked at the candied hawthorn skewers handed to her by Zhang Yan, deeply moved, and sniffled as she said, "Thank you, Grandma."
