After the meal, Brian wanted to keep Kate at the company, but when he heard that she was going to go shopping with Lily, he let her go unconditionally.
Using Lily as an excuse worked. Kate happily followed Lily away. Lily looked at the giggling woman behind her and asked, "are you crazy?"
"Hey, how can you talk to your sister-in-law in such a rude tone?" Kate immediately straightened her back and angrily scolded her.
Lily looked away and snapped, "I am not going to admit that you are my sister-in-law."
Kate touched her forehead. Everyone in the Li family was mean. Michelle was born in the prison, but her power was far less than that of the prison.
The two came to the business center of Z City, where there were a lot of people. Afraid of missing Lily, Kate ran up and grabbed Lily's wrist. Lily was stunned. She tried to struggle but failed.
"It's so crowded here." The air was filled with a strange smell as Kate and Lily were pushed towards each other. This made Kate very uncomfortable.
Lily didn't like this kind of place either. She stood on tiptoe and looked at the people not far away. She frowned and said, "there are not so many people normally. It seems that there are some stars coming over."
"What kind of superstar is she?" Kate was confused.
"She seems to be a teenage girl who has just started her career." Lily went against the flow of people. She didn't like joining the crowd.
"Just go there and have a look." Kate liked to join in the fun.
"No, I won't go." Lily disagreed firmly. But there were too many people here. They rolled around in the crowd and were finally pushed out.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around but only to find that she was not familiar with this place. They had been driven out of the commercial center
They sighed and thought there would be more people, then they decided to take a detour home.
Lily walked slowly while kicking small stones on the roadside. Kate was still reluctant to look back. She really wanted to see the superstars.
"Lily, are you Lily?" Suddenly, someone stood in front of them.
Kate was confused and turned her head. Suddenly, she saw a man in his forties standing in front of them, bending down. Lily's face changed dramatically and immediately hid behind Kate, while her hands were uncontrollably trembling.
"Let's go." Lily pulled Kate's arm to force her to walk back.
The man immediately caught up and said, "Lily, don't leave. I mean no harm."
Kate looked at the man in confusion and asked, "uncle, who are you?"
The man's face was unshaven and his clothes were worn out, which made him look like a beggar.
"I I am Lily... " The man stuttered.
"Shut up! What on earth do you want to do?" Lily interrupted the man. She put her arms around Kate's and stood behind her. She looked at the man in front of her, with her lips trembling.
The man smiled bitterly. "I don't have malice. I just want to see you."
Lily was surprised to see the man's wretched look. She asked, "how did you become like this? Didn't mother give you a lot of money?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry. That's my life. " The man laughed.
Then, Kate noticed that the shirt on the man's right side was empty and the man was disabled.
"Why is your arm broken?" Lily also noticed that the man's empty right arm was slightly tilted forward.
The man glanced at his right arm casually, "your second elder brother asked someone to cut it."
Kate was shocked, so was Lily, who looked at the man blankly, "why?"
"Your second elder brother wanted me to disappear in front of you forever, and I escaped. Lily, your second brother loves you very much. He doesn't want me to affect your life. " There was no hatred in the man's eyes, but only bitter and helpless smile.
After a moment's silence, Lily turned to Kate and demanded, "Hey, how much have you brought? Give it to me."
Kate didn't know what Lily wanted to do, but after hearing her words, she happily gave all the cash on her body to Lily, and Lily also took out all her own cash. She threw it in front of the man, said coldly, "I won't tell my second elder brother what happened today."
Then, he pulled Kate away without looking back.
"Lily, although your second elder brother dotes on you, he is not as simple as he looks. Be careful." The man still shouted at Lily.
Lily paused, but didn't look back.
On the way, Lily didn't say a word. Kate quietly looked at the girl who was following her and saw her red nose and red eyes. Kate was in a daze.
It seemed that the relationship between the man and Lily was not so simple.
What the man said at last made Kate care a lot. She also thought that Colin was not as simple as he seemed. She noticed that the man was not only disabled, but also whipped on his other arm. Those deep wounds still looked shocking.
