Chapter 363: A Slap
When Xiao Nuan reached the roof, Wang Qiang saw him first and was a little surprised.
Why is there a girl here? Is she from the Mu Group?
"What do you do?" Wang Qiang asked fiercely, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
Xiao Nuan took a look at him. This was Uncle Wang’s son. He had shifty eyes, a pointed face, and was not a good person. No wonder he could do such a shameful thing.
How could Uncle Wang, such an upright old man, give birth to such a thing?
Xiao Nuan really wanted to scold this bastard.
But now is not the time, and we cannot intensify the conflict.
Xiao Nuan tried to keep her voice calm and explained, "I'm a friend of Uncle Wang. I haven't seen him in a long time. I happened to see him standing downstairs, so I came over to see him."
Xiao Nuan spoke easily and with a smile on her face.
Friend? Wang Qiang wondered, probably another girl who tricked old people into buying insurance.
Just as he was about to chase Xiao Nuan away, Uncle Wang turned around and looked at her. He squinted his eyes and observed her for a long time. A hint of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face.
"Child, are you Xiao Nuan?"
Xiao Nuan quickly replied, "It's me, it's me, Uncle Wang, did you recognize me?"
Uncle Wang rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm old, and my eyesight isn't very good. It took me a while to recognize it."
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing standing there?" Xiao Nuan asked deliberately as if chatting about family matters.
Uncle Wang hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start. Although he was old, he still had to save face and felt that this was very embarrassing.
Especially in front of Xiao Nuan who had once helped him.
It turns out that Xiao Nuan had known Uncle Wang when she was a junior in college.
At that time, Uncle Wang was still looking for his granddaughter. One day, someone said that he knew where his granddaughter was. Uncle Wang gave all the three thousand yuan he had to that person, but the person ran away with the money.
The old man was chasing after him. As he was old, he stumbled and broke his arm. The village cadres called Wang Qiang and asked him to come back to see his father. Wang Qiang said only one thing:
"That's not my dad. I've disowned him."
There was no other choice, so the village branch had to pay to send him to the hospital. The neighbors in the alley felt sorry for the old man and pooled their money to hire a nurse for him.
This caregiver was Lin Xiaonuan, who was working part-time at the time.
When Grandpa Wang saw Xiao Nuan, he felt like he saw his own granddaughter and said to himself,
"My granddaughter is only a few years younger than you. She should be in high school now. I wonder if she has enough to eat and enough clothes to wear."
Xiao Nuan learned about Uncle Wang's experience from the neighbors and felt very sympathetic. She couldn't help in other ways, so she tried to chat with Uncle Wang as much as possible, so that he could smile more and feel better.
She took care of Uncle Wang for a whole month. Although she was expecting the salary for living expenses, in the end she did not receive a penny.
After Grandpa Wang was discharged from the hospital, Xiao Nuan visited him several times. Since she couldn't afford expensive gifts, she bought him some fruits and eggs. Sometimes when she really had no money, she would buy two loaves of bread and chat with him.
For Grandpa Wang, that period was also the happiest time for him since his granddaughter went missing.
Later, Xiao Nuan encountered a lot of things and didn't visit Uncle Wang for a long time.
Uncle Wang looked at Xiao Nuan with a kind face.
Xiao Nuan took a few steps forward and continued, "Uncle Wang, it's so dangerous to stand there. Come over here. I changed my phone number, and I'll leave the new number with you."
Uncle Wang was about to come over, but Wang Qiang glanced at him and said, "Dad, you can't come over."
Uncle Wang said in a negotiating tone, "Son, this child took care of me when I broke my arm. I'll go talk to her for a few words and then stand over here."
"No," Wang Qiang scolded. "Business is more important. The people from the Mu Group will probably be here soon. Stand still."
Uncle Wang took a step forward and then retracted his foot. He looked at Xiao Nuan and said, "Child, let's talk later."
Xiao Nuan deliberately said, "Uncle Wang, your son just mentioned the Mu Group. Do you have any conflicts with the Mu Group? I know their president very well. I can help you coordinate any problems you have."
Afraid that they would think too much, Xiao Nuan didn't dare to tell them that she was the wife of the president of Mu Group.
"Really? That's great." Uncle Wang trusts Xiao Nuan very much.
He said to Wang Qiang, "Son, this girl has done me a favor and is a very good person. Since she can help us coordinate, there is no need for us to threaten the Mu Group in this way."
Wang Qiang said, "Dad, I think she's a liar. She said she knows the CEO of the Mu Group, but I also know the President of the United States."
When he heard him say Xiao Nuan was a liar, the honest Uncle Wang became anxious.
In excitement, he walked over unconsciously and said to Wang Qiang angrily,
"How can you talk to Xiao Nuan like that? When my arm couldn't move, it was Xiao Nuan who took care of me. As her son, you didn't even show up.
Now, not only do you not say thank you to them, but you also call them liars. Don’t you think this is a lack of conscience?”
Wang Qiang didn't care whether it was a conscience issue or not. What he cared about was how the old man came over and how he would jump off the building later.
Wang Qiang's wife downstairs looked up and saw that her father-in-law had suddenly disappeared. She was puzzled and looked around, but she didn't jump down either.
I cursed in my heart: What the hell are these two doing?
Wang Qiang hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you doing? Hurry and stand over there. The person in charge of the Mu Group will be here soon."
Uncle Wang was furious and pointed at Wang Qiang and said, "You apologize to Miss Xiao Nuan first, then I'll stand over there."
Xiao Nuan didn't care whether he apologized or not. Seeing that Uncle Wang had retreated, how could she let him stand there again?
She quickly walked to Uncle Wang and held his arm tightly.
"Uncle Wang, how are you feeling lately? Do your arms still hurt on cloudy days? How's your appetite? Are you still picking up bottles?"
At this time, Xiao Nuan's heart was beating in her throat. She didn't know what she was saying. Anyway, she just chatted with Uncle Wang to distract his attention and prevent him from jumping off the building again.
Seeing Uncle Wang following Xiao Nuan downstairs, Wang Qiang knew that this girl had no good intentions and quickly grabbed Uncle Wang's arm.
Uncle Wang was in the middle, Xiao Nuan and Wang Qiang each held one of Uncle Wang's arms.
Xiao Nuan refused to let go, so Wang Qiang tried to persuade Uncle Wang:
"Dad, didn't we agree that you would cooperate with me and we would threaten the Mu Group to get more compensation for the demolition? I'm doing this to improve our family's living conditions, so that I can be more filial to you and let you enjoy your old age. If you don't stand up, won't our efforts fail?"
Before Uncle Wang could say anything, Xiao Nuan made a "tsk" sound.
"If you're so filial, and if you're doing this for your family, why don't you jump off the building yourself? Why let Uncle Wang do it? Your filial piety means letting your dad jump off the building? How rare."
This touched a sore spot for Wang Qiang, and he cursed, "What the hell is it to you? It's not your place as an outsider to get involved in our family affairs.
Oh, I get it. You're not trying to cheat my dad out of our house demolition compensation, are you? I've seen many shameless women like you."
"Snap"
Uncle Wang slapped his son in the face with a loud slap, his weathered hands merciless.
