Unlike the Zhao family who were in a tizzy, Ning Xi worked peacefully until the afternoon. It was only after get off work that she received a call from Ning Lan.
"Xixi, can you come over here? Grandma Fengfeng said he was arrested by the police. What happened?"
"What's going on? It's all this damned girl's fault! Tell her to let Fengfeng out!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was particularly noisy. Besides Ning Lan's frightened and anxious voice, there was also the yelling of Old Lady Zhao.
Ning Xi's eyes were obscure and difficult to discern. After listening to Ning Lan's words, she agreed, "Okay, I'll go over now."
After saying that, she hung up the phone without any extra words, packed up and went downstairs.
Qin Yan took her to the hospital in the morning. They had agreed to go back together in the evening after he got off work.
Because the person had been caught and the matter had not been investigated clearly, Qin Yan was obviously worried about her driving her donkey to and from get off work by herself, so he decided to pick her up and drop her off for the next two days.
Ever since she figured some things out last night, Ning Xi no longer deliberately kept a distance from him and let everything take its course.
But now, Ning Lan was anxious to see her, so it was obviously not easy for her to call Qin Yan over. She could only send him a message and then take a taxi back.
But she didn't know that Qin Yan had already arranged bodyguards last night, who would secretly protect her safety even if he was not there.
So, as soon as she left the hospital, the bodyguard's car followed her.
"It's you, the jinx! It's you, the unlucky star! Wuuuuuu... If anything happens to my Fengfeng, I will never forgive you!" Old Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the door of Ninglan's house, slapping her thighs and yelling loudly, attracting the neighbors to gather around and watch.
Ning Lan was already confused when she learned that her son had been arrested, and she was further upset by the scolding from Old Lady Zhao, and she was completely shaken.
When Ning Xi arrived, she saw her eyes were red and her face was pale as she leaned against the door frame.
Ning Xi's heart ached, "Aunt."
"Xixi...!" Ning Lan regained some spirits when she saw her coming. But as she spoke, the old lady Zhao, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly climbed up, stretched out a pair of claws, and pounced on Ning Xi.
Ning Xi frowned, and when her hand reached out, she dodged to the side, then turned around and grabbed Old Lady Zhao's clothes, preventing her from falling and getting hurt.
Of course, she didn't want to care about the old woman, but she was afraid that she would fall here and get into trouble.
Old Lady Zhao missed her target and although she didn't fall, she was still frightened. As soon as she regained her balance, she pointed at Ning Xi and cursed, "You shameless little bitch! It's not enough that you've harmed my grandson, and now you want to harm me too. I, I..."
"If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have caught you just now. As for your grandson, you should ask him what he did." Ning Xi looked at her coldly.
"What can he do? It's all your fault! He said it all, it's all your fault! Ninglan, look, this is your good niece. She is the one who harmed Fengfeng!" Old Lady Zhao said to Ninglan again.
Ning Lan's face was pale and she looked at Ning Xi with complicated eyes.
"Xixi, what on earth is going on?"
"Aunt, the police will investigate what Zhao Kaifeng did. If he's not guilty, he'll be released soon. But if... well, there's no point in you looking for me."
Although Ning Xi felt heartbroken for her, she no longer had the urge to force Ning Lan to see the reality.
But she also wanted Ning Lan to understand that she would not wrongly accuse Zhao Kaifeng, but she would not help Zhao Kaifeng either.
"Xixi..."
Ning Lan opened her mouth slightly and looked at her, feeling the sense of alienation again.
After listening for a while, Mrs. Zhao realized that Ning Xi would not help her grandson, and she started scolding again: "You conscienceless little bitch, do you have any heart? My grandson is your aunt's biological son, even if you don't want to see the monk's face, please see the Buddha's face!
If it weren't for your aunt raising you, you wouldn't have grown up like this. Do you have any conscience when you sent her son to the police station?
Look, look, who is this person! This is an ungrateful person, a real ungrateful person!
In order to save her grandson, Mrs. Zhao did not hesitate to speak up for Ning Lan, hoping that everyone would help her blame Ning Xi and let her release her grandson.
However, the old neighbors here have watched Ning Xi grow up, and they know what the Zhao family is like and what Ning Xi is like.
Hearing her words, the neighbor who couldn't stand it immediately said: "You are wrong. If your grandson did nothing wrong, can the police arrest him at will?
Do you think Ning Xi owns the police station? She can send anyone she wants to jail.
"That's right. What kind of character is your grandson? Do you think we don't know? My mother has lived here for many years, and every time he comes here, he always asks for money. Moreover, he is so old and still has no job. He deserves to be sent to prison now!"
"You, you guys... Ning Lan, look at these people, none of them wish you the best! He's your own son, and they all hope that he goes to jail. What are they thinking?" Old Mrs. Zhao saw that these people were helping Ning Xi, and she turned around to sow discord between them and Ning Lan.
Although the two aunts who spoke just now were telling the truth, it was indeed inappropriate to say so in front of someone's mother.
So when faced with Mrs. Zhao's accusations, they all smiled awkwardly and hurriedly said to Ning Lan, "Teacher Ning, that's not what we meant!"
"Yes, yes, we thought Ning Xi wouldn't do that. She's such a good kid, you know better than us!"
Ning Lan's face was pale, and she looked at everyone weakly, "It's okay, if everyone is okay, then go and get busy first."
After hearing this clear order to evict, the neighbors looked at each other, feeling embarrassed to continue watching the fun, and they all dispersed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Old Lady Zhao became even angrier. She pointed at Ning Xi and said, "I don't care. I don't care what my grandson did. You have to let him out!"
"I'm not a policeman, I can't do it." Ning Xi said lightly.
"Then go find your man! Isn't your man very powerful? He is your cousin!"
"No matter how powerful he is, he can't break the law. As long as your grandson hasn't committed any crime, the police won't lock him up."
"You, you..." Old Mrs. Zhao was so angry at her stubborn attitude that her blood boiled and her heart ached.
"If I were you, I'd go home first and ask someone whether your grandson has done anything illegal. If he has, no one can save him." Ning Xi continued.
Old Mrs. Zhao glared at her. Although her chest hurt a lot, for the sake of her grandson, she forced herself to swallow the fishy and sweet taste that was coming up.
He glared at Ning Lan fiercely and said, "Look at what an ungrateful bastard you've raised. Just wait till you regret it!"
After saying that, she stumbled downstairs and went home. She really had to ask her son whether her grandson had done anything illegal!
Ning Lan's face was still pale. She didn't look at Ning Xi until Old Lady Zhao disappeared from view.
