It's not that He Tiantian is a saint, but rather it's due to family circumstances, and He Tiantian also feels sorry for the child.
He Tiantian and Huo Yingqi are estranged, but that doesn't mean she can sit idly by and watch Huo Yingqi be bullied and pretend not to know. That's why she came here in person.
“Okay, Xiao Jian, take us to your house, we’ll go see your mother,” He Tiantian said. After confirming that it was Huo Yingqi, she immediately called Huo Yingjie to ask him what to do.
When Xu Jian heard He Tiantian say that, his eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior.
Seeing He Tiantian's expression, Wei Yuanyuan, Cui Ying, and Zhu Zhitao guessed that she might really be a relative of He Tiantian. They hurriedly hailed a taxi and rushed over to the address Xu Jian had given them.
"Xiao Jian, how did you find your way here?" He Tiantian asked, not believing that a child could find his way here on his own.
Xu Jian said somewhat shyly, "I haven't been to school for the past two days. I took the bus here and have been waiting here, hoping to see you."
He was really just taking a chance; he was extremely worried about his mother.
About half an hour later, we arrived at an old town area.
Cui Ying paid the fare and, led by Xu Jian, entered a run-down neighborhood.
It had rained, and there was some standing water on the ground.
Soon they arrived at the entrance of a two-story building.
Xu Jian pushed open the door and went inside. An old lady was cooking in the yard.
"Xiao Jian, where have you been? Why are you so late?" The old woman's voice was a bit loud, but her attitude towards Xu Jian wasn't bad. However, she was a little surprised to see several people following Xu Jian. "Who are you people? Why are you following our Xiao Jian?"
He Tiantian did not answer. Looking around, she realized that this was just an ordinary courtyard.
"Grandma, my mother's relatives have come to visit her." Xu Jian led the group in, his face beaming with joy.
Upon hearing this, Granny Xu immediately widened her eyes and said, "Your mother's family is all dead, so she has no relatives. You've mistaken her for someone else. Get out of here, get out of here!"
As he spoke, he picked up a broom from the ground and chased people away.
Wei Yuanyuan stood in front of He Tiantian, snatched the broom from Granny Xu, and threw it on the ground.
"Xiao Jian, take us to see your mother," He Tiantian said, perhaps Huo Yingqi's condition really was very bad.
"Yes, Mom is in that little house." Xu Jian pointed to a small wooden house next to the kitchen, sounding somewhat anxious.
However, the door was locked and could not be opened.
"Grandma, open the door! I haven't seen your mother for days," Xu Jian said. "Grandma, open the door..."
Before, when he called for his mother outside, she could still speak, but now she can't speak at all.
Xu Jian was so frightened that he cried.
"What are you talking about? Your mother's crazy, what if she comes out and bites someone?" the old woman said coldly. "Don't go around claiming relatives, get out of here, get out of here..."
He Tiantian gave Wei Yuanyuan a wink, signaling her to open the door.
Cui Ying took out a small clip to unlock the door. When Granny Xu saw this, she tried to stop her, but Cui Ying quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Granny Xu shouted loudly, "A thief has broken into the house! Help!"
People nearby heard the shouts and ran over with carrying poles and shovels.
Cui Ying had already opened the door, and the light coming in from the doorway revealed a thin, emaciated woman lying on a simple wooden bed. She was very dirty and her eyes were closed.
He Tiantian was stunned. Although the woman was so thin that she was unrecognizable, she still recognized her as Huo Yingqi at a glance.
He Tiantian stepped forward and placed her hand on the woman's nose; she was still breathing.
That's good, he didn't die.
He Tiantian didn't care about anything else and quickly picked up Huo Yingqi, preparing to take her to the hospital.
He Tiantian originally thought it would take a lot of strength to lift Huo Yingqi, but she didn't expect her to be so light.
My God, what did this family do to turn a person into this?
As a former prodigy, even if Huo Yingqi changed her name and the Huo family no longer cared about her, they would still arrange a job for her so that she would have no worries about food and clothing.
No matter what Huo Yingqi did, now that she's in this situation, the Huo family won't just ignore her.
He Tiantian carried Huo Yingqi outside and saw that the courtyard was full of people.
"These people are thieves! They're thieves!" Granny Xu shouted. "Arrest them right now! Arrest them!"
"Who are you people? Trying to rob someone in broad daylight?" a middle-aged man said, stepping forward to shove He Tiantian.
Zhu Zhitao stepped forward and tried to stop them, saying, "We are from Xu Jian's maternal grandmother's family, relatives of Xu Jian's mother. Look, he's in this state, he hasn't been fed for three days. As his maternal family, can't we take him to the hospital?"
Upon hearing this, everyone remembered the Xu family's affairs and looked at Granny Xu to see what she would say.
Upon hearing this, Granny Xu cursed, "My daughter-in-law has no family of her own; all her relatives are dead. Don't try to claim kinship with her. They're human traffickers; they're trying to kidnap her..."
“If we were really human traffickers, why would we abduct someone who is about to die?” He Tiantian sneered. “I’m calling the police right now and saying that you’ve abused my aunt! Fellow villagers, come and see, my aunt is on the verge of death. Please have mercy and make way for us to get to the hospital. If you don’t believe us, you can come to the hospital with us, or I can go to the police station to file a report.”
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Xu Jian's mother was dying, and it wouldn't make sense for them to stop her.
Xu Jian knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly and crying, "My grandma hasn't fed my mom for days, she's starving to death. Uncles, aunts, please step aside and let my aunt take my mom to the hospital. They really are my mom's relatives, please!"
The neighbors had all watched Xu Jian grow up, and seeing that Xu Jian had said so, and that Xu Jian's mother was indeed unconscious, they stopped trying to stop him.
Seeing that the crowd was about to disperse, Granny Xu stepped forward to hit Xu Jian, but was stopped by Wei Yuanyuan.
"You ungrateful brat, you actually teamed up with outsiders to bully your grandma! I should have strangled you if I'd known..." Granny Xu cursed, feeling somewhat guilty.
Upon hearing Granny Xu's words, the people around her, remembering her usual character, dispersed.
He Tiantian personally carried Huo Yingqi and said to Cui Ying, "Bring Xiao Jian along too."
If Xiao Jian were left behind, he would probably be tormented by this old woman, Xu.
Cui Ying led Xiao Jian to follow.
He Tiantian was very strong, as evidenced by her carrying Huo Yingjie through the alley until they reached the main road.
Fortunately, Guangzhou is an open and developed city, and there are plenty of taxis on the road.
We called two cars and went directly to the nearest and best hospital.
Upon arrival at the hospital, they were immediately taken to the emergency room.
He Tiantian paid the medical bills, hoping to save Huo Yingqi's life.
