Yan Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes sparkling with a cunning light, like a sly little fox.
"The Yan family is about to have some fun."
Pei Jingzhan glanced at her casually and saw that she was like a kitten that had stolen some fish, happy and excited because she had tasted a little sweetness.
Something deep inside him was suddenly touched, and his expression... made one inexplicably want to masturbate.
Pei Jingzhan was surprised by the idea that had come to him. He lowered his eyes in confusion and glanced at his itchy palms.
That impulse was like a tiny claw scratching at his heart, urging him to grab it.
He paused, then suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Yan Qiao's head, rubbing it and patting it twice under her astonished gaze.
Hmm, it feels pretty good.
Yan Qiao snapped out of her daze and bounced around on the spot a couple of times.
"Don't take pictures, or you'll stunt your growth!"
Pei Jingzhan walked forward with one hand in his pocket, saying, "At your age, you still want to grow taller?"
Yan Qiao stared at him, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"I'm not even 20 yet, why can't I grow taller!"
She has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat. Suddenly, she grabbed Pei Jingzhan's shoulders and jumped up, reaching out to pat his head.
"You're the one who won't grow tall!"
Pei Jingzhan was stunned for a moment, a strand of hair falling from his forehead, cracking his rigid and boring face, like a ripple spreading across a calm water surface.
Seeing Yan Qiao's smug satisfaction at having gotten away with something, he scoffed.
"I really don't need to go any higher."
He looked Yan Qiao up and down, his mocking gaze seeming to say three words: "Shorty."
Yan Qiao laughed angrily, "I'm 168cm! I'm not short!"
There was no way around it; she was indeed short compared to Pei Jingzhan, who was over 190cm tall.
In particular, Yan Qiao doesn't like wearing high heels and mostly wears a pair of flat white shoes.
Pei Jingzhan smiled and said, "Hmm, not short."
...
Yan Yaoyao was surprised that Yuan Mengchun had returned from the hospital!
Without saying a word or giving prior notice.
To her even greater surprise, she returned in a police car, followed by two police officers.
The last time I came into contact with the police was because of Yuan Mengchun's child-swapping incident.
That fear was etched into Yan Yaoyao's memory.
What's the reason this time?
Yuan Mengchun sat in a wheelchair, and Chen Lan asked in surprise, "Mom, why were you discharged from the hospital?"
Yuan Mengchun gave a cold laugh, "If I don't leave the hospital soon, there will be no place for me in the family!"
Chen Lan's face stiffened. "What are you saying?"
"While I'm in the hospital, they're practically emptying my room. Don't you know what I mean?"
Yan Yaoyao's expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously turned around to go upstairs.
"Stop!" Yuan Mengchun shouted.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Yan Yaoyao asked, trying to remain calm.
"Officer, my room is upstairs, and everything in my safe is gone."
Chen Lan found this absurd. "Your safe is right here at home, no one would touch it! Mom, who are you suspecting, me?"
Yuan Mengchun sneered, "Whether anyone has made a move or not, we'll know once we see it."
Chen Lan, furious as if to prove something, led them upstairs.
Yuan Mengchun personally entered the password and opened the safe, which was indeed empty.
Chen Lan was shocked. "Impossible! I don't even know your password, and I didn't touch it!"
"I didn't say it was you, Yan Yaoyao. Shouldn't you come out and explain?" Yuan Mengchun's sharp eyes looked at Yan Yaoyao.
Yan Yaoyao panicked and counted on her fingers, saying, "But Grandma, you told me the password, how can this be considered stealing! I'm your granddaughter, taking your things is of course not stealing."
Yuan Mengchun was so angry that his mouth twisted in disbelief. "I told you to read my will, not to take my things!"
Chen Lan felt extremely ashamed. It was shameful to tell anyone that her granddaughter had stolen her grandmother's things.
She stepped forward and slapped Yan Yaoyao hard across the face. "Hurry up and get your grandma's things back! Our Yan family isn't bankrupt yet, and you're already doing something as shameful as stealing!"
Yan Yaoyao covered her face and cried, then had to go back to her room to get her things.
Unfortunately, there weren't many items left; she sold some and gave others away.
Yuan Mengchun coldly replied, "I can only trouble the police officers to help me find my things."
This led to the scene at the Yan family's house the following day.
Zhang Shuyun was busy trying to get her son out of the police station, but unfortunately she had no connections and after a whole day of running around, there was no progress at all.
She had no choice but to go back and beg Yan Shu.
But all I got in return was a sentence from Grandpa Song: "You're fired. Here's your salary for this month, which includes the plane ticket back to Tongxiang."
Zhang Shuyun broke down and shouted, "I've served you so well all my life, and this is how you treat me! Now you're kicking me out, what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?!"
Old Master Song closed his eyes. "You're the kind of person who's good at using the word 'serving,' but isn't this your job? I appreciate your efforts, so I'm willing to reciprocate with money. It's a very fair exchange. As for what you want to do, I have a suggestion for you: go back to Tongxiang with your son."
Zhang Shuyun took advantage of the old man's soft heart, so she repeatedly mentioned that she had "never married" in her life, just to stay in the Song family and "serve" him.
If she leaves the Song family, she will be homeless.
In that case, how could Old Master Song bear to drive away an old lady like her?
"Did Yan Qiao tell you? She's trying to sow discord. He's my nephew, not my son! I've never been married in my life, don't you know that? Old Song, I'm doing all this for you..."
Old Master Song raised his hand to interrupt her: "There's no need to say anything more."
Getting bogged down in the same thing is a real waste of energy and patience.
"Pack up and let's go."
Zhang Shuyun sat on the ground sobbing. She had originally pinned her hopes on Yan Yaoyao, after all, Yan Yaoyao had promised to help her.
To this day, there has been no uproar online, and her son has not been rescued.
She then realized that Yan Yaoyao was completely unreliable, and that what she had done posed no threat to Yan Qiao at all.
On the contrary, she herself lost more than she gained by trying to steal a chicken.
Zhang Shuyun wanted to plead again, but then she heard the doorbell ring, and her tears stopped.
Yan Shu got up and opened the door, and was stunned when she saw the police uniform.
"Officer, who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for Ms. Zhang Shuyun."
Unaware of what was going on, Yan Shu let them in.
"This is Zhang Shuyun."
Zhang Shuyun was already in a state of panic, and when she saw the police, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Was she here because of her son?
But it doesn't quite look like it.
"Zhang Shuyun?"
She stammered, "I am..."
"We have come here to ask you about the situation regarding Ms. Yuan Mengchun's lost belongings."
Zhang Shuyun bit her lip. "What does her missing stuff have to do with me?"
The police officer said, "According to Yan Yaoyao, she once gave you a bracelet. This bracelet belonged to Ms. Yuan Mengchun and was stolen by Yan Yaoyao from her grandmother's safe. You need to return it."
