After everyone left, Xia Anyan packed a few more dishes and headed back.
Sure enough, Old Zhang was standing at the entrance of the guesthouse, waiting for her in the exact same spot where she had left.
Xia Anyan smiled and waved at her.
Just cross the street and you'll be on the other side.
But just then, a car came speeding towards them.
Xia Anyan narrowed her eyes, quickly locked on, and instinctively backed away.
Old Zhang's eyes widened in fury as he watched, and he rushed towards her.
"Ayan..."
"Ah—" Many people around were terrified by this scene.
Some people covered their eyes in fright, some were so scared their legs went weak, and some of the more timid ones even cried.
Using the spatial ability, Xia Anyan slipped inside the car the instant it rushed towards her, and quickly came out again after the car left.
For her, this operation was not difficult, because it was so fast that no one noticed.
In short, all that everyone saw was a person who had been scraped and fell to the ground.
"Ayan, are you alright?" Old Zhang rushed over and immediately checked on Xia Anyan's condition.
She had a scrape on her leg, and her arm was scraped from falling to the ground.
Furthermore, the lunchbox was also thrown to the ground, the lid was opened, and the contents spilled out.
Xia Anyan gasped in pain, and Old Zhang felt heartbroken seeing this.
"Ayan, don't move, I'll carry you back."
Old Zhang was about to hug Xia Anyan when she refused.
Although they are father and daughter, they are not blood relatives.
Moreover, she didn't feel that she couldn't leave now.
"Dad, please go and collect the lunchbox. I can walk back by myself."
As she spoke, she glanced in the direction where the car had already left.
Although the car had already left, she had seen it clearly when she was in the space earlier; the person sitting inside was a woman with a ferocious face.
The woman seemed to keep repeating the same sentence: "I'm going to run you over, I'm going to run you over, you bitch!"
Xia Anyan was quite certain that she hadn't offended anyone since arriving in Beijing.
Besides Zhou Yatong, only the Qian family remains.
But if that person wasn't Zhou Yatong, then it could only be someone from the Qian family.
She was already very magnanimous, wanting the police to deal with the Qian family instead of taking matters into her own hands.
But since that family wasn't going to let her go, she decided she couldn't take it anymore.
"Whether I eat those things or not is fine, but you're more important." Old Zhang was almost frantic.
Ayan was spoiled since childhood. Although she lived a rough life for more than ten years with Xia Zhengyuan, she was still a young lady after all.
When has she ever suffered like this?
"Dad, I'm fine. Let's go back and talk." Xia Anyan gestured to Old Zhang with her eyes not to say anything more here, lest someone overhear.
Old Zhang suppressed his anger and nodded in agreement.
Of the five or six lunchboxes, two were broken, and the ones that had spilled out were definitely not worth keeping. The ones that were still in the lunchboxes were taken back by the children.
Xia Anyan limped back, with Lao Zhang following half a meter behind her.
Old Zhang kept his eyes scanning the surroundings, not daring to relax for a moment.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning safely to the guesthouse.
This matter must be told to Grandpa Xia, and their subsequent arrangements also need to be brought forward.
Xia Anyan was taken to get bandaged by Gu's mother, while Old Zhang took Gu's father to see Grandpa Xia.
When Gu's mother saw the abrasions on Xia Anyan's legs and arms, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. She was heartbroken.
Her fingers trembled slightly, and she dared not touch it: "Ayan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I wish I could have gone with you."
Xia Anyan smiled and shook her head: "Mom, those people want to deal with me. They can come up with all sorts of ways. Even if you were by my side, it wouldn't be of any use. You might even get hurt along with them."
"Besides, I'm lucky and I'm fine. It's just a scrape, it'll be healed in no time."
Afraid that her mother would worry, she even moved her arms and legs a little.
However, it did hurt a bit, and she couldn't help but grimace, which was caught in the act by Gu's mother.
Gu's mother cried even harder, and kept cursing.
Xia Anyan didn't know how to coax him.
This was the first time she had encountered something like this.
"Mom, please stop crying. Please disinfect and apply medicine for me, okay?" Xia Anyan quickly pointed to the wounds on her body.
She was afraid the person would keep crying, because she really didn't know how to comfort people.
Gu's mother sniffed, her movements very gentle.
Afraid that her tears would drip onto her wound, she forced herself to suppress the urge to continue crying.
No matter how hard she tried to hold back, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Xia Anyan sighed and, in order to distract Gu's mother, described the appearance of the woman in the car.
Mother Gu listened very carefully and remembered it.
After applying the medicine, Gu's mother pressed her down onto the bed: "Don't worry about what happens next. Leave it to us adults. You just need to rest in bed."
"Captain Han probably hasn't received the message yet. I'll go to the front desk and make a call. Don't wander off outside anymore. Just stay here and sleep, okay?"
This was the first time Gu's mother had spoken to Xia Anyan in a rather serious tone.
Xia Anyan cooperated well, obediently nodding and closing her eyes.
She was indeed feeling quite tired, so she left the rest to them and decided to get some sleep first.
I slept straight through into the evening; if I hadn't been hungry, I probably could have continued sleeping.
At that moment, Gu's mother knocked on the door: "Ayan, are you awake? Get up and have dinner."
Xia Anyan mumbled a reply, her voice rather soft, and it was unclear whether Gu's mother heard her.
She dawdled in the bathroom to wash her face before opening the door, where she found her mother waiting for her.
Xia Anyan smiled and said, "Mom, why are you waiting for me here? I can go by myself."
Mother Gu didn't say anything, but took her arm and led her towards the old man.
When Xia Anyan arrived, she noticed that the expressions on everyone's faces hadn't changed, and they were even smiling when they looked at her.
No... does she have flowers on her face?
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, what's going on?" Xia Anyan was really confused, her forehead covered in a row of question marks.
Grandpa Xia patted the seat next to him: "Come, sit here with Grandpa."
The table was already full of food, which had been packed up and brought back from the state-run restaurant.
Xia Anyan had no idea what they were up to, so she obediently walked over.
Everyone ate the meal quietly; no one spoke.
Xia Anyan was still a little unaccustomed to it, her eyes darting between the group, hesitating whether to ask a question.
