Chapter 74: Remembering Her Filial Piety



Xue Xue handed us her phone, which contained the chat history between her and the buyer on a certain fish platform.

"He offered me 1,000 yuan just to shoot a video. I didn't think much of it at the time and thought it was an easy deal, so I did as he asked."

Xue Xue's voice gradually weakened, and she should have realized by now that she had done something wrong.

I handed the phone to Qiu Qiu and was about to ask her if she could find out the information behind this account when I saw Qiu Qiu frowning.

She only took a glance and said disdainfully, "This is clearly a purchased, disposable account. The homepage doesn't even have real-name verification. They're not afraid of being blocked for violating regulations at all."

There are a lot of such accounts on Youku, and it is impossible to find out who is using the account.

Seeing our gloomy faces, Xue Xue was so scared that she almost cried. She explained in a trembling voice: "That's all I know. Everything I said is true!"

I was skeptical about what she said.

At this time, Lan Xiaoyu called. I glanced at Xue Xue, asked Qiu Qiu to stare at her, and then got up and walked out of the cafe.

"Aunt, are you done talking?" Lan Xiaoyu asked me cautiously, afraid that I would be unhappy.

"Yeah." I knew what Lan Xiaoyu was thinking. "Don't worry, I just chatted with her. I didn't do anything."

Lan Xiaoyu was silent for two seconds, then she spoke directly: "Aunt, how do you know Xue Xue?"

"Ask her when she gets back."

I didn't answer, I just heard Lan Xiaoyu say "Oh" in a somewhat disappointed tone.

"Oh right." I recalled Xue Xue's explanation and asked Lan Xiaoyu for confirmation. "Xue Xue works part-time all over the place. Doesn't she really need the money?"

Lan Xiaoyu sighed, her tone full of sympathy: "Yes, her grandmother is sick, with cancer. To be cured, she must go to the hospital for treatment, which costs a lot of money. Sometimes she has to work several jobs in a day!"

I knew in my heart that Xue Xue was not lying.

But Xue Xue’s incident also reminded me.

I specifically reminded Lan Xiaoyu: "If you don't have enough money, tell your aunt. Don't take any part-time job just to make money. Don't go to any messy places. Remember?"

"Well, auntie, I know, I have enough money."

I then hung up the phone and returned to the coffee shop. Qiu Qiuzheng and Xue Xue were staring at each other. Qiu Qiu's serious expression scared Xue Xue so much that she didn't dare to move.

She is about the same age as Lan Xiaoyu and is still a student, so I didn't want to make things difficult for her.

"Considering your filial piety towards your grandmother, I'll let this matter go. Don't do such a conscienceless thing again!"

Xue Xue was stunned and still a little bit in disbelief, "You...you are not going to report me?"

"Won't."

My answer made Xue Xue feel relieved, and she took a sip of coffee to calm down.

I picked up the bag on the seat and left the bill on the table. "Xiaoyu asked me, but I didn't say anything. How you explain it to her is your business."

Qiu Qiu and I left the cafe and returned to the car. When Xue Xue came out of the cafe, she was walking unsteadily, obviously because she was scared to the point of having weak legs.

Qiu Qiu snorted coldly, "It seems she really isn't Q. Lu Zhiyuan's evil claws haven't extended to college students. He still has some moral standards."

Morality?

How can we talk about morality when a married man cheats on his wife?

But the only clue I found was broken again, which made me disappointed.

"Don't lose heart!" Qiu Qiu put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged me. "Q's tricks are just the tricks of a clown. The more she fears you'll find out, the more it shows she's unsure. She's afraid of you. You can't give up! We have to fight again!"
