Xi Ana tried to recall that place where they usually stay at before and there is indeed a building in front of that place, so that was actually her father?
Suddenly, Xi Ana remembered that Li Jingli once said that her father looks familiar. Did they meet before and Li Jingli wanted to confirm this with he father?

"Father, is it possible that you've already met Li Jingli during those years?" given the fact that he has been watching her, this much is possible.
