Chapter 427: Hands Up
The guards of the Xiang Mansion rushed to the storeroom but were stopped outside the door by Xiang Hualan.
“Grandma, this is what I owe Miss Su, she should take those things!”
Madam Xiang's face turned pale. "Those things belong to the Xiang family. No one can take anything from this house without my consent. Stop that person. If she dares to take anything from my Xiang family, I will hold you accountable!"
The Xiang family has always been ruled by Old Madam Xiang. After hearing Old Madam Xiang's words, they walked towards Hualan without any hesitation.
Xiang Hualan's heart sank to the bottom. She had always been kind to everyone in her family, but in the end, they treated her as a sucker!
Xiang Hualan glared at the guards who rushed over and started fighting with them, eventually blocking them outside.
Although this is called a small warehouse, it is not small at all. After Su Ying walked in, she looked through the remaining things in the warehouse. Most of them were large items or small gadgets that were not that valuable. If these things were put together, they might be worth five thousand gold coins, but how could she move out a large wardrobe, a large table, and a vase that was as tall as a person?
Su Ying felt that instead of using these large items to exchange, it would be more convenient to use silver notes and gold and silver.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the door and saw Xiang Hualan fighting with the guards.
This guy’s kung fu is pretty good, how did he get to this point?
Su Ying walked up to Xiang Hualan and pulled away the guard who rushed over, throwing him ten meters away. She kicked away a guard who was in the way before she spoke: "It's inconvenient for me to carry those big items, so you should just give me banknotes or cash."
Xiang Hualan saw Su Ying throwing an adult man out easily, and was stunned for a moment by her skill.
While she was distracted, she was almost taken advantage of by the guards. Su Ying threw a punch, and the wind from her fist swept across Xiang Hualan's hair, scaring her so much that she quickly retreated and looked at Su Ying in surprise.
"Miss Su is good at kung fu."
"Did you hear what I said?"
Xiang Hualan nodded, feeling that Su Ying's request was not excessive at all.
All the guards were knocked to the ground while the two were chatting.
The old lady and the others were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths.
When Xiang Hualan looked towards the old lady, she was furious. "Xiang Hualan, are you going to rebel? Are you going to be happy only if you force your grandmother to death?"
As soon as he finished speaking to the old lady, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Xiang Hualan was startled and quickly stepped forward to support Madam Xiang.
"Grandma, grandma!"
Xiang Shule sarcastically said, "Big sister made grandmother so angry that she fainted. Now big sister is satisfied, right?"
Xiang Hualan frowned, "Why are you still standing there? Go get a doctor."
The yard was in chaos. Su Ying stood aside and watched, wondering whether she could get her five thousand gold within three days.
Looking at the crowd rushing out, Su Ying thought about it and decided to follow them.
The maid carried the old lady to the bed.
"I know some medical skills. If you trust me, you can let me take a look at her."
Xiang Hualan turned around and saw Su Ying standing behind her. She nodded and said, "I believe Miss Su. I'll have to trouble you then."
"How can you let the person who blackmailed you see grandma? What if grandma gets into trouble?"
Xiang Hualan said firmly: "I believe Miss Su." Although she didn't know Su Ying's background, she did not sense any hostility from her.
Su Ying knew at a glance that Madam Xiang was pretending to faint, so she took out a silver needle from her body and stabbed it directly into her philtrum.
"ah!"
Old Madam Xiang jumped up from the bed in pain. She glared at Su Ying fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Xiang Hualan saw that the old lady had woken up, and she was even more convinced of Su Ying.
"Tell me, would you be happy only if you piss grandma off to death? Lan'er, grandma isn't reluctant to part with the money, but she's afraid that you'll be cheated!" Seeing that the hard way didn't work, the old lady tried the soft way and wiped away her tears.
Xiang Hualan looked embarrassed, but she insisted: "Grandma, Miss Su will not lie to me, this money is what I should give."
Seeing that the old lady still refused to listen, she could only think of another plan. She turned to look at Su Ying and said, "May I ask this lady's name?"
"Su."
"Miss Su, I heard from Lan'er that you saved her, so you are the savior of our Xiang family. We are grateful and repaying. Five thousand gold is not a small amount. We can't come up with so much money in a short time. It happens that it is getting late now. How about this, you give us some time, and our Xiang family will definitely offer the five thousand gold with both hands."
At this moment, Madam Xiang completely transformed into a kind and reasonable old lady, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Su Ying was almost filled with tears.
This old lady's expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
Su Ying's purpose was to get the money and she had no intention of overthrowing the Xiang family.
"Thank you very much."
Looking at the old lady, Su Ying's attitude softened and the smile on her face deepened.
"Have you eaten at night, Lan'er? You can't neglect your friends. Go quickly and ask the servants to prepare some food. I'm fine. You don't need to stay here. Go eat and rest first."
After hearing what Old Madam Xiang said, Xiang Hualan took Su Ying back to her own courtyard.
The door was closed, and only Su Ying and Xiang Hualan were left in the room.
"Miss Su, your sister... is she... taken care of by someone? Do you want to bring her to your house as well?"
She put Queque into the space, and originally only wanted to finish the matter in a short time, but who knew it would be delayed until now.
"No need, I'll leave after I finish the matter tonight."
Xiang Hualan was a little surprised.
Su Ying met her surprised look and said, "You don't really think your grandmother will give me the five thousand gold tomorrow?"
Xiang Hualan choked. In the past, she had great trust in Old Madam Xiang, but today her trust was somewhat shaken.
"After my parents passed away, my grandmother was the one who treated me the best. Although I am not her biological granddaughter, she always treated me as her own child."
Su Ying raised her eyes and gossiped, "Isn't she my biological grandmother?"
Xiang Hualan nodded and said, "My current grandmother is my grandfather's second wife. My second uncle and my father are half brothers. After my parents passed away, my grandmother has been raising me."
Su Ying tapped her fingertips on the table and said, "After your parents passed away, they left you a lot of things. Have those things been in the hands of your grandmother?"
Xiang Hualan nodded and said, "Yes, my grandmother said she would help me take care of it and return it to me when I get married."
After Xiang Hualan finished speaking, she looked at Su Ying. She always felt that there was a hint of disgust and unspeakable emotions in the look she gave her.
“Miss Su, do you… think that grandma treats me badly?”
