"Uncle!" Chu Xiaoyao stood at the door with pouted lips, red eyes, a pitiful look on her face, and she was holding a small suitcase in her hand.
"What are you doing?" Li Yifei didn't let Chu Xiaoyao come in but looked at her with puzzlement.
Chu Xiaoyao's eyes reddened even more, tears rapidly gathering in her eyes before streaming down her cheeks as she sobbed, "I have nowhere to go."
Li Yifei sighed and said, "Come in."
Chu Xiaoyao followed Li Yifei into the living room. Li Yifei handed her a tissue and said, "Wipe your tears."
Chu Xiaoyao took the tissue, wiped her eyes, and hung her head without her usual flamboyance.
"What exactly happened?" Li Yifei sat next to Chu Xiaoyao but still kept a considerable distance between them.
"Uncle!" Chu Xiaoyao looked up at Li Yifei and said, "My parents scolded me; they don't want a daughter like me anymore, so I ran away from home. Uncle, you must take me in."
"You ran away from home over a fight with your parents?" Li Yifei frowned.
