"Besides, I'm good friends with the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. If anything happens to me, she won't ignore it. You're probably aware of the Zhou family's connections; there aren't many people in the capital who dare to mess with them."
The old lady certainly knew about the Zhou family; they were a highly sought-after family in the entire capital. Countless people wanted to establish a connection with them. It was Han Luoxue's good fortune and blessing that she could become friends with the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
"Xue'er, shall we stay here?" Han Luoxue had already put it this way; if the old lady and the others continued to leave, it would be ungrateful. Besides, although they wouldn't starve after leaving, the two of them were both so old; how they would survive was still a problem.
In addition, there's Chi Hongcai, who comes to see them from time to time. Even if they have a little bit of silver, that guy will definitely leave, since the two of them are no match for him.
They were actually quite troubled. They had told their son more than once that they had broken off all ties, but their son was a stubborn bastard who they couldn't get rid of no matter what they did.
If they had anything, their son would shamelessly cling to them and wouldn't stop until he took it away.
"We need to be careful here too, I'm afraid he's coming!"
Sister Zhen, who had remained silent, looked at Han Luoxue and Yunniang with suspicion. What had Yunniang been trying to say? Han Luoxue was...
She knew Han Luoxue's identity was not simple, but what could it be?
But what does this have to do with her? The more powerful Han Luoxue's identity, the better it is for her.
They're partners, so won't their business development be smooth sailing from now on?
Sister Zhen smiled gently: "Madam Chi, you should rest assured and stay here. Yunniang and Xue'er are both filial children; you are blessed to have children like them!"
Madam Chi nodded, deeply agreeing.
Grandpa Chi's eyes were also a little moist. Although he hadn't said anything, he had still felt Han Luoxue's concern for them.
They didn't give Han Luoxue anything at all, and in the end, it was their youngest daughter and granddaughter who took care of them in their old age.
This world is really...
Chi Hongcai arrived even faster than they expected. He came looking for them that afternoon.
The girl couldn't stop him, and Chi Hongcai stormed in angrily.
His eyes lit up when he saw Han Luoxue in the courtyard.
This niece is getting more and more beautiful. I remember she was already very pretty when I last saw her. But this time, her beauty has an added touch of nobility.
Upon seeing her enter, Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow and sized him up with indifferent eyes.
Her gaze was indifferent, but Chi Hongcai felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body tremble, as if he were being stared at by some dangerous person.
Chi Hongcai was stunned for a moment. He had never felt this way before when he was being stared at by debt collectors.
Why does Han Luoxue look so strange? But thinking about his relationship with her, Chi Hong straightened his back. No matter what, he was her uncle. Even if Han Luoxue was powerful, could she beat him? Besides, he had found out that those two old geezers were right here. What use were those two old geezers? They were practically dead. His own uncle was different. He was smart and resourceful. As long as he was given the opportunity, he could definitely help Han Luoxue make a lot of money.
"Little Xue, I heard that your maternal grandparents have come here?"
Thinking that he would still need Han Luoxue, Chi Hongcai smiled and asked ingratiatingly.
"What?" Han Luoxue raised an eyebrow. The two old people were inside the house and did not come out.
Moreover, since it was in the backyard, they couldn't hear any noise from the front unless someone deliberately went to report it.
"Oh dear, my good niece, your uncle knows everything. You and your mother brought your maternal grandparents here, right? How are they? Last time, your maternal grandmother suddenly fell ill, and I was so worried. I went out to find a doctor for her, but when the doctor came, they were gone! You really shouldn't have taken them away. You should have at least told your uncle! I haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and I've lost several pounds. I've been searching for them so hard!"
Han Luoxue was speechless; this was the first time she had ever seen such a shameless person.
He was the one who took care of Grandma Han back then... and now he's the one who's doing the good deed? Meanwhile, I went through all the trouble of bringing the two elderly people back and finding doctors for them, and now I'm the one who's being unreasonable?
You've vanished without a trace, how are we supposed to find you and notify you? Besides, even if we did notify you, would you care whether the two old people live or die? If Chi Hongcai had even a little bit of conscience, he wouldn't have abandoned the two old people in that drafty, leaky place, leaving them to fend for themselves.
The information Han Luoxue found out was not limited to this.
The two old people were already pitiful, and Chi Hongcai still frequently went there to freeload. I don't know who gave him the nerve.
"Your uncle has been looking for your maternal grandparents these past few days. Look at the dark circles under my eyes. Your uncle has been so worried that he can't sleep at night!" Chi Hongcai squeezed out a few tears. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was really filial.
Han Luoxue scoffed, "Oh, you went out to find a doctor? I thought you scared the old man away after you knocked him down! Chi Hongcai, my grandparents must have been incredibly unlucky to have a son like you!"
"Han Luoxue, how can you talk like that? How can you say I caused them to fall? It was clearly their accident, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I really went out to find a doctor for them. You know I don't have much money on me, I had to go out and borrow some money to find a doctor."
Han Luoxue was so angry she laughed. According to his logic, who knew when he would get the money? Maybe the two of them would be dead by then.
"Speak, what brings you here today?"
Han Luoxue's expression was cold as she immediately changed the subject.
"Hey, Xue girl, I'm still your uncle, right?"
Han Luoxue remained silent, while Chi Hongcai chuckled and said, "They are still my parents, and I am their only son, so I will definitely take care of them in their old age!"
"However, your uncle isn't an unreasonable person. If you insist on supporting them in their old age, it's not impossible, as long as..."
Chi Hongcai paused deliberately, hoping Han Luoxue would respond, but unfortunately, Han Luoxue didn't say a word, only looking at him coldly.
Chi Hongcai felt his heart pounding. His niece didn't seem like someone easy to deal with. But since he had already said it, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Xue'er, it's not impossible for you to raise them. Your uncle doesn't have any other conditions. I've run into a little trouble right now. Do you think you could..."
