The man wearing the hat pulled down the brim of his hat, as if he was afraid of being recognized by others, and spoke to her in a low voice.
"Come with me."
Lan Tingting hesitated for a moment, but still gritted her teeth and followed.
The two of them stood in a remote corner, and Lan Tingting looked at the person opposite vigilantly.
"What?"
The man looked around, confirmed that it was safe here, then turned around and looked at her fiercely.
"Give me the money now."
"Money? What should I give you money for?" Lan Tingting subconsciously covered her small bag. "Didn't I give you the money a long time ago?!"
The young man watched her movements and knew there must be money in it, so he reached out to grab the small handbag on her body.
"Old Xu has been arrested. The money is with him. I can't hide anymore. Give me the money and leave here!"
...
...
He thought he had taken on a good deal and only had to deal with a little girl, but he didn't expect to run into a tough guy and was beaten unconscious.
If he hadn't only suffered minor injuries and escaped in time before the law enforcement team arrived, he would probably be in jail now!
At first he thought he had escaped successfully, but he didn't expect that the other party had no intention of letting him go. Not only did they know his appearance, but they also had the information provided by Lao Xu. If he didn't leave North City, he would be arrested immediately!
Lan Tingting, a spoiled young lady, was no match for this street thug. Soon her bag was robbed and all the money inside was taken out.
The young man threw his bag to the ground, clapped his hands over the money, and showed a satisfied expression on his face.
"Some money should be enough..."
As he said that, he turned his head again and glared at her fiercely, "Don't say I didn't warn you in advance. If you dare to report the case and have someone arrest me, I will tell everyone everything you asked us to do!"
The young man uttered the harsh words, spat fiercely on the ground, and then walked away without looking back.
Of course Lan Tingting knew what he was referring to. She took two steps back with weak legs and leaned against the wall. Then she raised her hand and began to bite her nails nervously.
No, absolutely not.
She had finally managed to improve her relationship with her father by getting first place, but if they told this to others, their relationship would definitely get worse than before.
No, no, no.
This is the only thing you must never tell anyone!
Lan Tingting made up her mind, picked up the small shoulder bag that was thrown on the ground, tidied her appearance and clothes a little, and left the alley as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she came out, Wu Yan, who was waiting at the entrance of the mall, saw her and trotted towards her, waving and smiling.
"Tingting, what are we going to buy today..."
"I don't want to buy it anymore," Lan Tingting didn't wait for her to finish and walked past her, "I'm going back."
"Ah?" Wu Yan looked confused, not knowing what this young lady was throwing a tantrum about.
It was she who made me come to the mall to buy things with her, it was she who made me wait at the mall entrance for ten minutes, and it was she who said she wanted to leave without explaining anything after I arrived.
"This is just a joke..." Wu Yan couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Lan Tingting turned her head suddenly, staring at her fiercely like a devil, her voice cold and gloomy.
"What did you say?"
Wu Yan was frightened by her eyes and instinctively took two steps back, shaking her head and saying that she didn't say anything.
Bai Jing naturally didn't know about this. She was currently in the hospital, undergoing her final checkup before being discharged.
"Well, you have recovered well, you can go home now," the old doctor advised. "You still have to be careful because you are not fully healed yet. You have to come back regularly for checkups and dressing changes. Don't let the wound get wet. If there is inflammation or exudation, or if you feel any discomfort, come for treatment as soon as possible."
Bai Jing nodded obediently and said she understood.
When she returned to the hospital bed and was about to pack her things, Jiang Han and Xiao Tang came to see her.
"Really? I'm so glad to be discharged from the hospital," Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, your school should have its final ceremony tomorrow. How about you stay at my house tonight?"
"Thank you, Aunt Han," Bai Jing nodded gently, "I still have to go back to my uncle's house to get something, and I'm not very mobile right now, so I'm sorry to bother you..."
"What kind of trouble is that?" Jiang Han held her left hand. "If that's the case, didn't I bother you before to help me take care of Xiaotang?"
Tang Xiaotang also threw herself on her legs, opened her big, dark eyes, tilted her little face up and spoke softly.
"Sister Jingjing, you won't live with me anymore?"
"Of course not," Bai Jing curved her eyes and softened her voice to coax him, "It's also the holiday season coming up soon. When the next semester starts, I'll have to bother you again."
Tang Xiaotang held her legs tightly and said that he wanted to see her during the holidays.
"How about this," Jiang Han suggested with a smile, "I think Xiaotang has made significant progress this semester, and I'm worried that she'll have too much fun during the holidays and lose all her knowledge. It would be nice if you could spare some time every week to tutor her for two hours."
Bai Jing's hand injury hasn't healed yet. She had originally planned to work part-time in a teahouse on weekends, but she can't go in the near future, so her schedule just happened to be free.
So she nodded and said yes.
Jiang Han wanted to say something when he suddenly saw his nephew coming over.
She first looked at Jiang Ziqian, then at Bai Jing, and when she thought of her previous guess, a subtle smile appeared on her face.
"By the way, since we're already here, why not take Xiaotang to the bookstore!"
Jiang Han intended to give the two of them a chance to be alone, so he made up an excuse and left.
Bai Jing didn't see what she was thinking. After saying goodbye to the two of them, she looked at Jiang Ziqian again, still with a faint smile on her face.
"Teacher Jiang, you are here."
Jiang Ziqian saw it clearly, but didn't say it out loud. He just pursed his lips lightly and hummed in a cold voice.
"The doctor said you can be discharged today. I'll take you home."
Bai Jing was stunned for a moment, then thanked him with a smile.
Even in North City, there are not many families that can afford to buy a car at this time, and the Jiang family is one of them.
At this moment, the car stopped at the door. The shiny body of the car created a halo in the sun, attracting the envious gazes of passers-by.
Bai Jing didn't expect that he would drive here specially. After all, the hospital was not far from her uncle's house, and he probably came to take care of her as she was sick.
Jiang Ziqian drove fast and steadily, and soon arrived downstairs at the family building. He also took the initiative to help her carry things upstairs.
Qin Yang was busy in the kitchen at the moment, while Liang Xinrou was teaching Lele how to address her relatives.
Hearing the knock on the door, Liang Xinrou hurried forward to open the door. Seeing that it was Bai Jing who came back, she immediately welcomed them in.
“It’s great to be back.”
Liang Xinrou patted Bai Jing on the shoulder and looked at Jiang Ziqian next to her.
"And Professor Xiao Jiang, thank you so much for your help."
Jiang Ziqian nodded calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."
Qin Shaole heard the noise and jumped off the stool and ran over, "Cousin Jingjing!"
Liang Xinrou touched his head and said, "There's more."
The little boy's eyes shifted to Jiang Ziqian, and after racking his brains, he finally came up with a word.
"...cousin-law?"
