"Dad, it's really just a coincidence. Honestly, I was shocked when I saw it just now. Please believe me, okay?" Liang Mengjia's first reaction after the recall mode was triggered wasn't good, and Li Yue's call came so quickly.
"Jiajia, I choose to believe in you too, and you should know... Our family will never abandon you," Li Yue said, rubbing his furrowed brow. His late wife, Liang Feifei, used to do this for him often.
"Daddy, I know that some of the previous plot settings may have been harsh, but it's also to allow the protagonist to grow. After all, the story progresses from low to high. Isn't the current storyline very powerful? This is called a comeback in youth culture." Liang Mengjia successfully redirected the conversation to Li Yanqian, and Li Yue genuinely smiled on the phone.
Apart from the experiences Li Yanqian went through in the plot, his daughter was truly remarkable. In real life, Yanqian had a strong foundation in the ancient martial arts of Sage Yu and coincidentally entered the Naluo Family Martial Arts Hall. The fact that she received the master's favor in that martial arts center put Li Yue at ease.
However, he didn't know that his daughter had experienced that world for the second time and had gradually made her way to the Luojia Martial Arts Hall.
"I don't understand the culture of you young people." Li Yue and Liang Mengjia continued chatting casually for a few more minutes before ending the call with a smile.
He let out a light sigh. Perhaps the incidents in the plot truly was just a coincidence.
Liang Mengjia was brought into the family by Liang Feifei many years ago when she was still called Zhao Mengjia.
Li Yue and his wife had a successful career, but their only regret was not being able to conceive a child for a long time. Later, Liang Feifei heard a rumor that if they adopted a child, it could bring new life to the family.
"Even if we haven't had children, Jiajia is well-behaved and smart. Let's be her parents together." Liang Feifei had said at the time.
"You've already completed the adoption procedures. What can I say? But let's not mistreat other little girls. I believe her previous experiences weren't easy." Li Yue recalled that they were the third family to adopt Zhao Mengjia. The first two families gave her up after having their own children. To make up for Zhao Mengjia's long-term lack of a sense of family, the couple did their best to treat her well. They vowed that even if they had children in the future, they would never abandon her again.
Later, Liang Feifei successfully conceived. At that time, the couple was overjoyed, but Jiajia cried day and night, fearing that she would be abandoned once more. Liang Feifei felt great distress and promptly changed her surname to Liang, matching it with her own.
"I planned to have two children—one with your last name and one with mine. Now it's finally coming true!" Liang Feifei gleefully boasted to him like a child, and he felt immense satisfaction at that moment.
Now, as Li Yue reminisced, he couldn't help but open an electronic photo of his deceased wife. Hearing her voice and smile once again, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But Jiajia was right. Yanqian's performance had always been outstanding. Thinking that it would be some time before he could see his daughter again, he turned on the TV series and resumed watching.
The memory mode had ended. Li Yanqian in the drama had changed into black sports attire. It seemed that she preferred this kind of clothes with strong elasticity that didn't hinder movement. Fu Ying, standing beside her, also wore black and white. The two walked silently on the school playground, engaged in conversation.
"I won't go to dinner tonight. I'll stay with you at school." Fu Ying said.
"Well, you're not allowed to go anywhere tonight," Li Yanqian asserted, rare in her display of dominance.
Fu Ying choked up, realizing that Li Yanqian must have been deeply affected by Luo Tianhua's death. She couldn't help but feel distressed.
