Chapter 252 Operation 252 Begins
Back home, Qin Xiaoxiao slept for a whole morning before fully waking up. She took Su Lu to the Qin family home for lunch, and under the double glare of Qin Feng and Qin Ye, she leisurely returned to the educated youth compound.
The two sat on either side of the kang table, waiting for Zhou Ying to arrive.
Zhou Ying hadn't arrived yet when Su Yun showed up at the door.
“I don’t know what you’re planning to do, but I want to stay by your brother’s side.”
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her with a complicated expression, "Big sister, do you know that she has hired a lot of thugs in the city? What if she gets angry and tries to harm you again? My brother can barely protect himself, and if you are added to the mix, the consequences would be unimaginable if he can't protect you."
"Sis, let's stop arguing, okay? Trust us this once, I swear, my brother will be fine, okay?"
Why are you getting involved at a time like this? Are you out of your mind?
If Zhou Ying's scheme hadn't been aimed at her, she would have preferred to stay out of the way and watch the show.
Su Yun was unwilling to give up. "I don't want to stay out of this. I want to be with him."
Qin Xiaoxiao helplessly advised, "You mean well, but it might affect my brother's plans. Sister Su Yun, you're going to be with my brother for life, not just for this moment."
Su Yun thought about it and felt that Qin Xiao's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "Alright then, I won't cause you any trouble, but when you see your brother, you must tell him to be careful and not to fall into Zhou Ying's trap."
Seeing that Su Yun had finally stopped insisting on going, Qin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely tell my brother to be careful."
Su Yun was persuaded to go back, and Zhou Ying came to her door shortly afterward.
Zhou Ying knocked on the door and was taken aback when Su Lu opened it. Then she smiled gently and said, "Oh, it's Su Lu. You're here today too."
Su Lu rolled her eyes at her impatiently, "You have to call him Grandpa, the seniority can't be different."
Zhou Ying twitched her lips. "Yes, Grandpa is right. The seniority can't be lower."
Zhou Ying's hands were clenched so tightly behind her back that there were marks on her palms, and her lips were almost bleeding from being bitten.
Just wait, after tonight I'll make sure you cry and have nowhere to go.
Taking a deep breath and calming her emotions, Zhou Ying stepped into the house.
"Grandma, I need to talk to you."
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. "What is it? Is it about the engagement banquet tomorrow?"
Zhou Ying nodded. "I haven't bought all the things I need. I'd like my great-aunt to accompany me to the county's supply and marketing cooperative. My second aunt... my great-great-aunt works there, right? I'd like to go see her. I'm out of coupons."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Ying with a half-smile.
That bitch, she never forgets to swindle her again while plotting against her.
"Sure, I also have some things I haven't bought yet. My wedding with your great-uncle is in a few days, and if I don't have everything prepared, people will laugh at me."
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao agreed so quickly, Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment, realizing that her prepared remarks hadn't been used. Then she smiled and took Qin Xiaoxiao's arm.
You fell for it so easily; you deserve to be outsmarted by me.
"It seems I've arrived just in time, Grandma. Let's go now."
Qin Xiaoxiao stood up without hesitation. "Okay, let's go."
Su Lu wanted to go with her, but Qin Xiaoxiao winked at him and said, "Su Lu, why don't you stay home and cook for me? We can eat now that I'm back. Oh, and bring some for Zhou Ying too."
Su Lu stopped and nodded to Qin Xiaoxiao, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing that Su Lu wasn't following, Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief and, smiling, took Qin Xiaoxiao's arm as they left the educated youth compound.
After the two left, Qin Feng appeared at the back gate of the educated youth compound. Su Lu opened the door, the two exchanged a glance, and quickly followed him.
Along the way, Zhou Ying kept talking to Qin Xiaoxiao. One minute she was complaining that she hadn't bought a towel because it was too expensive, the next she was saying that she was missing a washbasin and it was inconvenient to wash her feet, and then she was saying that the clothes she wore for her engagement weren't bright enough and that she wanted to buy fabric and make them herself. In short, she was just trying to get money from Qin Xiaoxiao in various ways.
Qin Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile, without any hesitation, as if she really wanted to prepare everything for Zhou Ying's engagement, which left Zhou Ying stunned.
Could she really be trying to help with the preparations for the engagement? Is she really that kind?
Zhou Ying glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao with suspicion, but seeing Qin Xiaoxiao laughing carefree, she relaxed.
You idiot, who told you to be rich? I'll let you shine one last time. Don't worry, I'll definitely enjoy everything you bought me and live a good life with your brother. When he becomes rich, I'll be the wife of the richest man.
Once she's fallen into the trap, she'll have to hurry back and search her house; her money must be hidden there.
Each with their own thoughts, the two entered the county town with smiles and headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Qin Xiaoxiao, just as Zhou Ying had wished, approached Sun Zhirou and bought many nice things from her.
Then, both of them left the supply and marketing cooperative satisfied and headed out of the county.
She had only taken two steps when Zhou Ying suddenly clutched her stomach.
"Grandma, I suddenly have a stomachache, it hurts so badly, please come with me to the hospital."
As she spoke, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Ying's forehead, as if she were in great pain.
Qin Xiaoxiao exclaimed after watching: "Wow! This acting is so realistic!"
The whole world owes you an Oscar!
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to be outdone by Zhou Ying, so she immediately put on her dramatic act and hurriedly grabbed Zhou Ying's arm.
"Why does it suddenly hurt so much? Could it be acute appendicitis? I'll need surgery!"
"Ying, don't be afraid. I'll go to the hospital with you right away. Luckily, I brought plenty of money with me today; enough for your hospital stay."
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoxiao helped Zhou Ying walk toward the county hospital.
The supply and marketing cooperative is not far from the county hospital. There are two routes to get there. One is the main road, which takes about ten minutes to walk after turning the corner. The other is a small road, which requires turning into an alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative and going through the alley to reach the back gate of the county hospital.
Taking a shortcut through the alley would definitely take less time than walking on the main road. Qin Xiaoxiao guessed that Zhou Ying wanted to plot against her in the alley, so she took the initiative to lead her into the alley.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao fall into the trap without any warning, Zhou Ying cursed her as an idiot in her heart and secretly gloated as she let Qin Xiaoxiao help her into the alley.
This alley doesn't lead straight to the county hospital; it has two turns. Just as we turned the first turn, two tall, strong men walked over from the other side of the alley.
Qin Xiaoxiao was focused on helping Zhou Ying get on her way and didn't even glance at the two men.
Zhou Ying secretly observed Qin Xiaoxiao's expression and realized that Qin Xiaoxiao had really been fooled, so she looked up at the two men.
Qin Xiaoxiao seemed not to have noticed anything, anxiously helping Zhou Ying quickly pass by the two men.
Just as she reached the two men, they suddenly turned around and covered her mouth from behind.
The moment the two men made their move, Qin Xiaoxiao began to hold her breath, fearing that they might have used a drug.
Feeling a cloth covering her mouth, Qin Xiaoxiao knew she had guessed correctly, so she struggled for a few moments before pretending to faint.
Before closing her eyes, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Ying with concern, only to see Zhou Ying standing there smiling and waving at her.
