The ambulance pulled Bi Xueqing away with its siren blaring. Wen Shu was eager to go with her, but was stopped by the lawyer.
"Ms. Wen, thank you, but Officer Lin and I will go."
Wen Shu waved to Bi Xueqing: "Chairwoman Bi, please take good care of yourself. Health is the most important thing. You can never earn all the money in the world."
Bi Xueqing lay on the stretcher, her eyes wide open, staring intently at her, only able to drool as she grinned.
The commotion at the courtyard gate finally subsided, and Grandma stood up, looking at the neighbors who hadn't yet dispersed, and spoke:
"Who just said my Wen Shu stole something? Speak up! Keep talking! You want to kick us out? Who has the right to kick us out? I've lived in this neighborhood for thirty years, seen countless old neighbors come and go, and you think you can kick me out? You've got some nerve!"
Community workers quickly interjected, "Back then, people didn't know the truth and misunderstood your Wen Shu..."
My grandmother has severe gout, as well as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar. She takes medication regularly and has difficulty walking, so she can't walk for more than ten minutes.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, hands on hips, she said, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding gives these people the right to kick me out of my own home? Each of you has your own messy affairs, yet you're meddling in other people's homes?"
The community staff looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
She was innocent too; she was inexplicably dragged over by Aunt Zhang and the others, and then she witnessed the scene just now.
Having just been humiliated, Aunt Zhang and the others dared not look at their grandmother and quickly looked away.
Grandma hadn't finished speaking when she said, "Working at a bank makes you superior? Who knows how you got those bank positions? Do you really think being ugly is a sign of ability? These days, old lechers don't care about looks. Just because your family is immoral doesn't mean everyone is like you!"
Aunt Zhang got angry when she heard this, "Who are you calling indecent?"
Grandma pointed at Aunt Zhang: "I'm talking about you. Your mother is such a good person, how could she raise such a despicable child like you? I'm considerate of the neighbors, but you're doing everything you can to smear them."
"My Wen Shu quit her high-paying job of 50,000 a month just like that, and stole a set of tattered underwear from your daughter-in-law? Is it made of gold thread or silver thread?"
Grandma's fighting power is amazing; it took Wen Shu a lot of effort to help the old lady back into the house.
Grandma: "Pah!"
Grandma was just trying to prove herself; once she got her revenge, she felt much better.
After this commotion, the news spread throughout the neighborhood, the truth came out, and Wen Shu was exonerated.
Wen Rou Rou was still watching cartoons when she turned her little head to look at her great-grandmother and mother, asking, "Aren't you arguing anymore?"
Wen Shu smiled and said, "We didn't argue anymore."
Wen Shu squatted down in front of the little one and explained, "An old lady lost something and mistakenly thought that Mom took it. She just came over to apologize and let everyone know that she wronged Mom."
A look of relief immediately appeared on Wenrou's chubby little face. "Mmm!"
The 50,000 yuan paid by Bi Xueqing temporarily relieved Wen Shu's imminent financial pressure.
Beicheng Airport.
After getting off the plane, Jin Chao followed behind Li Duo and whispered about the situation on his phone.
Li Duo glanced at him. "Bi Xueqing had a stroke?"
Jin Chao nodded: "I just received the news. The patient was taken to the hospital in time, so there shouldn't be any lasting effects. However, the patient will need to take care of themselves in the future."
Li Duo remained silent.
Jin Chao hurriedly followed, "According to Chairman Bi himself, she was angered by Miss Wen."
Li Duo chuckled softly as he thought of the woman's intense desire for revenge.
"Chairman Bi said that because she suddenly had a stroke, the scene was chaotic, and the audio recordings from Miss Wen have not yet been retrieved."
Li Duo: "Then she's really quite muddle-headed."
The person is missing, the money has been paid, the illness has flared up, and most importantly, the things haven't been recovered.
At 8 PM, Wen Shu was on the phone: "...Sure....Although I look thin, I'm very strong. I'll take responsibility if I get heatstroke!"
There was a knock at the door. Wen Shu turned her head and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me." The man's voice came through the iron gate.
Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat. She rushed back to the living room, grabbed Wen Rou Rou by the armpit, and put her in the bedroom. "Rou Rou, count from one to five hundred. You can only come out to watch cartoons after you've finished counting."
Wen Rou Rou puffed out her cute little chubby face and stared with her big eyes, "1. Hungry, 3..."
Wen Shu left the door ajar, and when she came out, her grandmother had already opened it. "Who are you looking for?"
Li Duo, tall and handsome, was already chatting with his grandmother, "Is this Miss Wen Shu's house? I'm her friend, here to pick up some things."
Wen Shu rushed over quickly, "Grandma."
Grandma looked Li Duo over and was somewhat surprised; boys these days are all so good-looking.
"Oh, you're Shushu's friend? Come in and have a seat."
"Grandma, he took the things and left." Wen Shu walked to the door and handed him a USB drive. "Thank you for making this trip."
Li Duo didn't respond to that, but instead said, "Since you've come all this way, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
Wen Shu stared into his eyes.
Li Duo said in a deep voice, "I'd like to borrow your computer."
He needed to confirm whether she had kept any additional files without his knowledge.
Wen Shu understood his meaning, opened the door, and said, "Please come in."
Grandma really thought it was Wen Shu's friend, and hurriedly ran to pour tea, saying, "You are the second friend that Shu Shu brought back. She doesn't bring back anyone she's not close to."
Wen Shu pursed her lips, turned around and walked into the house. "Please come with me."
Li Duo glanced at her, and just by looking at the round back of her head, he knew she was angry.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips slightly. "Sorry to bother you."
The yard wasn't big, but it was planted with a lot of greenery, and everything was arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
The house was small, the furniture was old, and there was a dining table in one corner of the tiny living room, but the floor was clean and the tables and chairs were spotless. Only in the corner of the sofa could you see the child's toys.
Li Duo stood in the living room, somewhat at a loss.
A small, childlike voice came from somewhere: "38, 39, yes, yes..."
Li Duo knew it was that baby who couldn't pronounce some numbers clearly when reading them aloud.
Wen Shu turned around and said, "My computer is here."
She turned on the computer and caught a glimpse of him standing beside her out of the corner of her eye. She shielded the keyboard with one hand and quickly typed in the password with the other.
Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly moved closer, bent down and leaned in, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, "Log in to all social media platforms, including email."
Wen Shu involuntarily stepped aside, forcing herself to log into all the platforms.
She was about to stand up again when he suddenly asked, "That's all?"
Wen Shu was taken aback. "Yes."
"Open this time."
His finger was poking at the screen, clearly indicating that he didn't intend to operate it himself, but rather to instruct her.
Wen Shu could feel him close to her ear; she could even feel his hot breath on her face, making half of her face feel hot.
She couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, if you're not comfortable with this, you can do it yourself."
"No, come here, so you won't think I'm trying to pry into your privacy."
His voice suddenly drew closer, startling Wen Shu. She instinctively turned around, and her warm lips brushed against his.
