With tears in her eyes, Wu Zhiqi stroked Xiaoyu's head and said, "Listen to us, Bai Liang has made all the arrangements. If you miss us, we'll come to see you. Just think of it as a trip. We have the means, you know."
"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Xiaoyu hugged Wu Zhiqi tightly. She was so lucky to have met such a wonderful relative.
Xiaoyu is still a student. Going abroad to study requires coordinating with the school, and the procedures are very complicated. Wu Zhiqi told Xiaoyu to take a break from school and stay home to keep Guan Laotou company, so as not to have to endure gossip at school.
Xiaoyu goes to Old Man Guan's during the day and goes home at night, not staying overnight at Old Man Guan's. This makes her feel much more relaxed, and the smile on her face becomes more genuine.
It pained Old Man Guan. If it weren't for the Li family as a backup plan, the child would have been forced to death by that family. It was the Yan family who benefited.
Knowing that Xiaoyu was leaving, the old lady became much warmer towards her. With the brat gone, they would be the old man's only family, and he would rely on them even more.
That day, the counselor asked Xiaoyu to go back to school to complete some procedures.
Xiaoyu had just arrived at the school gate
"Third sister, third sister!"
Xiaoyu continued walking towards the door.
"Guan Xiaoyu!" Yan Xi, who had been waiting for Xiaoyu for several days, shouted anxiously.
When Xiaoyu turned around and saw that it was Yan Xi, she knew that this family would not let her go.
She turned and continued walking.
"Guan Xiaoyu, don't go. Your parents didn't come. I'm here to find you." Yan Xi quickly ran up and grabbed Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu stepped aside, avoiding Yan Xi. "You're looking for me? Are we that close?"
Yan Xi smiled ingratiatingly, "Third sister, we are sisters after all, even though we didn't grow up together..."
Xiaoyu had a cold smile on her face and turned to leave.
"Third sister, it's not Guan Xiaoyu, don't go, I really have something to ask you." Yan Xi slapped her lip. Guan Xiaoyu didn't want to admit her background, and she was just being cheeky.
Xiaoyu: "If you have something to do, go to your parents, or if all else fails, go to the police. Why are you coming to me?"
"I... I have no one looking for me. They're all plotting against me." Yan Xi wasn't lying; she really had no one looking for her.
"I won't scheme against you, but I won't help you either. I don't know you well," Xiaoyu said calmly. She had a deep impression of Yan Xi when the Yan family came to recognize their relatives. Yan Xi had been jumping around happily and speaking very harshly.
"Please help me this once, for the sake of us girls who have been persecuted by the Yan family. Only you can help me, otherwise my life is over. Please." Yan Xi clasped his hands together and bowed to Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu is a girl with her own opinions. No matter what Yanxi says, she will not feel any sympathy for her. "No matter what happens to you, in ancient times you could go to the yamen to sue the officials. Now there is the Women's Federation, the police, and the People's Government. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do."
You've asked me for help. What can a student like me do to you? Or do you think I'm just a young girl who's easy to fool or manipulate, that I'll take pity on you and help you? You're overthinking it. I'm not as compassionate as you think. Don't come to me again.
Yan Xi... Before she could even tell her story, Guan Xiaoyu cut her off. She was so pitiful; even a stranger would want to help her if they saw her in such a sorry state.
"Guan Xiaoyu, how can you be so cold-blooded? Do you know what situation I'm in? I was sold by that family to an old man to have his baby. I'm in this state, and you won't even help me?"
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. She thought that Yan Xi had been exchanged for betrothal gifts. It should be said that there was nothing those people wouldn't do, only things she couldn't imagine.
She is now truly grateful that her family abandoned her; otherwise, she might be like Yan Xi now.
