This Xiaonian, wherever she goes, she never gives anyone any peace of mind.
Xiaofeng, seeing the expressions of the two, understood that Xiaonian must be inside, and not only inside but also in danger.
It couldn’t possibly be about meeting with a boyfriend here.
Glancing at Shuiling, "Shuiling, let’s go in and check."
Shuiling looked around, somewhat scared, tugged at the corner of Xiaofeng’s clothes, and followed behind her to go inside.
Before they even entered the gate, they heard Xiaonian’s reckless voice, "You lost, you have to do frog jumps, hold your head, and jump like a frog, ten times, no slacking off."
The boy asked to do frog jumps let out a wail, but he had no choice but to crouch down and start doing frog jumps.
"Are you coming or not?" Xiaonian arranged the cards in her hand, "I’m telling you, I’ve never lost at Fight the Landlord. Look at you guys, either your faces are plastered with paper strips or you have to crawl under the table, no skills at all."
She stood up and stretched, "It’s getting late, shouldn’t you be taking me back now?"
Staying here was truly boring.
She glanced at the door, just in time to see Xiaofeng and Shuiling standing there, looking at her, expressions full of excitement.
"Sister, Shuiling, how did you get here?" Xiaonian said as she ran toward them, Zhao Youqian tore off the strips of paper on his face and grabbed her, "You’re not allowed to run, you promised us, you said you’d help us get justice."
She had sworn she could get them compensation, and surely she couldn’t leave until she had secured it.
"Let her go." Shuiling looked at Zhao Youqian pulling Xiaonian, fire in her eyes, "You bad people, let her go, or you’ll regret it."
"Who are you people?" Zhao Youqian watched the two women who entered, wary, "How did you find this place?"
"One is my good friend, the other is my sister," Xiaonian whispered in explanation, "Aren’t you looking for justice? You talk to my sister, she can definitely help you."
"No way, how do I know this isn’t your scam? I can’t leave, you must stay with me until I get the compensation." He wouldn’t trust anyone until he had received the compensation.
"Oh come on, you. I said I’d help you, and I definitely will. That’s my sister, do you know who she is? She’s the Young Madam of the Gu Family, ever heard of the Prime Minister? That’s her father-in-law, tell me she can’t help you. And that beauty over there, that’s my good friend, her brother is the chief of the police station, tell me she can’t help you."
As Xiaonian spoke, she patted the other person’s shoulder, "Old pal, you have to make sure you’re not deceiving me, what you’ve told us must be completely true for us to help you. If you’ve lied to me or hidden anything, surely we can’t help, right?"
Zhao Youqian didn’t know the Gu Family or any police station chief.
But he had heard of the Prime Minister, a very honorable leader, so if this was the Prime Minister’s daughter-in-law, she was likely to be good too.
Relaxing, he approached Xiaofeng to shake her hand.
The following Xiaoyan, thinking the man was about to attack his sister, without a word, stepped forward and slapped the man two meters away.
With a bang, the sound of the man hitting the ground.
"Bro Youqian." The youths, seeing Zhao Youqian hit, stood together, clearly uniting.
"Bro, bro." Xiaonian covered her mouth and rushed forward, "Brother, it’s a misunderstanding, they’re not bad people."
Xiaofeng stood there and glanced at the several young men, their faces all quite youthful, the oldest around twenty-one or twenty-two, the youngest around sixteen or seventeen.
Their skin all had the color of wheat, like those who had worked in the fields in the countryside, looking very healthy.
"Xiaonian, what’s going on? These kidnappers called demanding money, why are you still speaking for them? Shuiling said you’re looking to have a boyfriend now, you wouldn’t be dating one of them, would you?"
The youths looked somewhat dimwitted; Xiaonian probably wouldn’t notice them.
"Psh, I have better taste than to fall for them," Xiaonian glared at Shuiling, "You’re right, that Liu Yi is a jerk, I must have been blind to like him, saying I’m not good enough for him because of my grades, psh."
"Told you, he is blind, I told you not to bother with him, but you wouldn’t listen." Yu Shuiling had an I-told-you-so look.
