"Also, you need to remind that girl that there are so many other ways, why did she have to go and provoke Lin Xiaoxiao?"
"Mom, you don't know her mouth. Once she opens her mouth, she starts to be unforgiving." Qin Ying had been holding back her emotions in the outer room, but now, in the old lady's room, she showed her anger.
"Also, there are some things I really want for her good. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting someone else relay the message. Who knew that an ingrate would turn out to be an ingrate."
"I knew you were going there for no reason. What happened?" Old Madam Qin grasped the key point in her words and, thinking of what happened to the Han family yesterday, guessed, "Is it about the Han family? Where did you get this information? Is someone trying to harm Lin Xiaoxiao?"
"No, it's not that serious. It's not like they're openly trying to kill someone." Qin Ying shook her head.
"It's not that serious. Why go to her then? You know she doesn't like you, yet you still go there in person. Are you looking to get yelled at?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ying opened her mouth, then closed it again, her face showing hesitation. She didn't know whether she should say this or not; even she herself wasn't quite sure, given how murky the waters were in the capital.
Seeing that Qin Ying refused to answer her question directly, the old lady became anxious instantly, "No, what do you know? Is what you're hiding really something that could kill someone?"
"If that's really the case, we really need to have a serious talk with her. Lin Xiaoxiao is still your child, and she's so outstanding now. If you don't acknowledge her, do you expect the one from the Wan family to treat you well in the future?"
"Well... I'm working at a department store counter now, right? I noticed a week ago that the person who goes to the military base to pick up the goods has changed."
"They changed the person, and then what?"
"So what if they changed? Everyone working here has connections. But I found out the person they replaced isn't working at the department store anymore, they left..."
"Mom, this happened right after he left, and then this happened in Lin Xiaoxiao's unit. I can't help but think about it."
"What?" The old lady was surprised. "Are you sure you saw this person clearly?"
"Although I've been reassigned as a teller now, I've been working here for so many years, and I know my colleagues very well."
“I remember the people who pick up and deliver goods. It’s strange that this person suddenly appeared here and then suddenly stopped coming. These days, you know how lucrative and plentiful jobs are in department stores. Some people want to pay to work but can’t find an opportunity.”
"But this is the first time I've seen someone like this who comes for a few days and then leaves."
"Besides, that guy's physique looked like a soldier. He stood and sat very upright, just like a soldier. And... his job was to pick up goods. Imagine, the military base just happened to... catch fire..."
The old lady understood what her daughter was trying to say, and she immediately slapped Qin Ying's arm, "Such an important matter, why didn't you discuss it with everyone before going out to tell them?"
"Also, you haven't told anyone about this, have you? If this isn't handled properly, it could cause you trouble."
Qin Ying shook her head angrily: "No, I was just planning to talk to Lin Xiaoxiao. I think if this matter can improve my relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao, then it will be worth it. Maybe I can enjoy the benefits in the future."
"I've heard that the Han family has the best food in that area. If my relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao gets better, she'll give me several pounds of meat to eat and money to spend."
The old lady couldn't stand seeing her daughter become so petty. "It's not wrong to want to have a better relationship, but have you talked to this girl about this?"
"No! What am I supposed to say? I haven't even said a few words yet, and she's so powerful, she just pointed her finger at me and cursed me out." Qin Ying became more and more aggrieved as she spoke. She was, after all, Lin Xiaoxiao's mother, so why was she so frustrated in front of Lin Xiaoxiao?
"This girl is really too ill-mannered. She doesn't even know the basic respect for her elders. Compared to our daughters, she's a far cry from them. She needs to be properly educated." As the old lady said this, her eyes narrowed slightly. Anyone who knew her well would know that this old woman was up to something again.
The mother and daughter were talking in the room, completely unaware that Lin Xiaoxiao overheard everything they said. At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao saw clearly that the Qin family and Qin Ying were both extremely hypocritical and selfish.
When she had heard enough, Lin Xiaoxiao turned and left. Regardless of whether what Qin Ying said was true or false, or whether that person was related to the arson, it was still a clue, and she had to hurry back and share this news with everyone.
It took Lin Xiaoxiao about 20 minutes to get home. As soon as she got home, she looked for Bai Hehua.
"Mom, I remember you were the one who introduced me to XX Department Store. Was the person working there a relative of ours, or a friend of yours?"
"They're not friends, but they're distant relatives of ours, the son of one of our cousins. They don't usually interact with us much, but they do visit each other during holidays."
"What's wrong? Why are you asking this out of the blue? Has this person come to you and wants you to do something for them?" Bai Hehua immediately thought of this question.
Since I've been looking for at at least eight or ten of my relatives lately, and it's not working out with them, it's normal for me to go directly to Lin Xiaoxiao.
