Chapter 77 Let whoever wants to serve, serve them!
Because it was nighttime, there was no one in the corridor.
Even the special police officers who were originally disguised have disappeared.
The door behind her closed, obscuring Wu Yulan's curious and puzzled face.
Song Yanchuan immediately began to carefully examine Qin Yingxue, scrutinizing even the smallest hairs.
Qin Yingxue was both amused and exasperated: "I'm really fine..."
Song Yanchuan was finally relieved and hugged Qin Yingxue tightly, still feeling a bit scared.
Qin Yingxue wrapped her arms around his strong waist and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
Feeling his body tremble slightly, Qin Yingxue raised her head and gave him a bright smile: "Grandpa Huo is surrounded by his men. That person was killed as soon as he appeared..."
"Were you scared?" Song Yanchuan hugged Qin Yingxue tightly.
"No, I didn't even realize it at the time," Qin Yingxue said with a relaxed expression.
Song Yanchuan looked down and, seeing that the expression on her face didn't seem feigned, took a deep breath and said with some self-reproach, "I will never put you in danger again. I was careless today..."
"How can you blame yourself!" Qin Yingxue stood on tiptoe, trying to meet Song Yanchuan's gaze. "Who knew Grandpa Huo was so low-key, and who would have thought the criminals would be so reckless?"
"You know... Grandpa Huo's identity?" Song Yanchuan asked, looking at her.
Qin Yingxue shook her head: "The person who saved him called him 'leader,' so he's probably some big shot. Regardless of his identity, he's just a passerby on our journey. We'll go our separate ways once we get off the train."
Song Yanchuan thought about it and realized it made sense, and he relaxed.
Just then, a group of people in uniforms surrounded the corridor. Jiang Jianguo led a middle-aged woman to the door of the private room, glanced at Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
Jiang Jianguo waited for a while, then went in with the woman.
There were too many people, so Song Yanchuan let go of Qin Yingxue and instead held her hand as they stood in the corridor.
Soon, Huo Qixiang emerged from the private room with the woman's help. Seeing Qin Yingxue, he said with a kind expression, "Girl, I'll get off the bus first."
"Take care, Grandpa Huo," Qin Yingxue said with a smile.
As soon as Huo Qixiang left, the special police officers in the corridor also dispersed one after another, and soon only Song Yanchuan and Qin Yingxue remained in the corridor.
"Let's go in!" Song Yanchuan led Qin Yingxue toward the private room.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you're back!" Wu Yulan's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the two of them, and she exclaimed, "Grandpa Huo is gone, but he still has a nanny to take care of him. Sister, what do you think Grandpa Huo's status was?"
"Regardless of their identity, it's none of our business," Qin Yingxue reminded them.
Some things and some people are not things you can just ask about.
Wu Yulan nodded.
The private room was unusually quiet. Qin Yingxue lay down on the bed and quickly drifted off to sleep amidst the clanging of the train.
At this moment, Jiang Linlin, who had been running around all day, saw the bedroom in a mess. She lifted the blanket and found a dead rat as expected. The new sheets and duvet cover were stained with blood. With a grim face, she turned around and went downstairs. Without saying a word, she kicked open a door.
Soon, heart-wrenching wails came from inside the door. The nanny outside was anxious and wanted to open the door to save her young master, but found that the door was locked from the inside.
The sound of the stick hitting her body continued, and the nanny, without further delay, turned around to fetch reinforcements.
When Xie Guodong returned home drunk, he noticed that something was amiss.
Seeing his two sons kneeling on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen, crying uncontrollably, was particularly striking.
On the sofa, Xie Hongqi's face was full of anger, and he looked extremely indignant.
Jiang Linlin sat on the other side, head down, face covered, crying.
"Guodong, it's good that you're back! You'd better teach these two little rascals a lesson, or they'll end up committing crimes and ending up in jail sooner or later."
Xie Hongqi pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground with both fingers, and said angrily.
"Dad, don't be angry. I'll give you an explanation after I find out what happened," Xie Guodong quickly went over and comforted him with a smile.
“You can’t let this go this time, or you’ll have a lot of headaches when they grow up.” Xie Hongqi said, taking a heavy breath. “If they don’t behave, send them away! My Xie family will not acknowledge such grandsons!”
"Dad, calm down, I'll have them apologize to you!" Xie Guodong saw that Xie Hongqi was really angry, so he didn't dare to take it lightly. He said to the two boys kneeling there, "Xie Xiaofeng, Xie Xiaofei, you've made your grandfather so angry, why don't you come over and apologize right now!"
Xie Xiaofeng looked stubbornly at Xie Guodong. Seeing Xie Guodong give him a meaningful look, he could only tug at Xie Xiaofei beside him. The two of them walked together to Xie Hongqi, bowed their heads, and said in unison, "Grandpa, we were wrong! Punish us as you see fit..."
"You've wronged not me, but your mother. I'm warning you, if you don't acknowledge her identity, you're all out of here tonight," Xie Hongqi said angrily.
Xie Guodong then turned his gaze to Jiang Linlin and asked with concern, "Linlin, what's wrong?"
"Go and see for yourself in the new house. Don't even think about sleeping tonight." Jiang Linlin wiped away her tears, crying bitterly.
Xie Guodong's expression changed, and he quickly ran upstairs.
Before anyone could be seen, Xie Guodong's roar could be heard: "Xie Xiaofeng, Xie Xiaofei, you two brats, you're itching for a beating after three days, aren't you? See how I deal with you..."
Xie Guodong reappeared, now holding a whip as thick as an arm.
Xie Hongqi saw Xie Guodong raising his whip high and striking the two of them. Seeing Jiang Linlin still crying on the side, he sighed and went back upstairs, wanting to avoid seeing her.
Jiang Linlin watched the chaos in the living room. Although Xie Xiaofeng and Xie Xiaofei had angered Xie Guodong, Xie Guodong genuinely felt sorry for his two stepsons, and his beatings were just for show.
She wiped away non-existent tears, got up, and asked the nanny to clean the room and change the sheets.
When Xie Guodong returned exhausted from running, Jiang Linlin had already taken a shower and was lying in bed.
"Honey, I'm sorry, those two rascals made you angry again." Xie Guodong hugged Jiang Linlin tightly, and as he spoke, he leaned in to kiss her.
Jiang Linlin dodged him, extending her hand towards him with a look of disgust.
Xie Guodong had no choice but to pull out a large wad of ten-yuan notes from his pocket: "This is all I have! I don't know which bastard stole from our house. I said I'd call the police, but my dad wouldn't let me! Things are a bit tough for us right now, honey, don't think it's too little! I'll make it up to you later!"
Jiang Linlin smiled, put the money into her wallet, and turned her back on Xie Guodong.
After returning from Qin Village, her state of mind had completely changed.
No more relying on men, women can hold up the sky too!
Not to mention she also has the system's support; once she's accumulated enough wealth, she'll kick that bastard and his two vicious stepsons to the curb.
Let whoever wants to serve me do it!
