Lin Qinghuan glanced at her father, who was talking incessantly on the phone, stood up from the sofa, looked at her grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to find Grandma Wei and ask them to ask someone they know to help me find Lin Piaoxue."
Upon hearing Lin Qinghuan's words, the Lin family's eyes lit up, and their anxious and heavy hearts were greatly relieved.
"Qinghuan, Grandpa was right about you. You are indeed a sensible and kind-hearted girl," Grandpa Lin said with satisfaction.
Lin Qinghuan gave a bitter smile. She had no choice at all. She had to help Long Piaoxue even if she didn't want to, even though she hated her very much.
Lin Qinghuan walked into the Wei family home in a sullen mood. Grandma Wei, Mother Wei, and Aunt Wei were sitting in the living room chatting.
When Wei's mother saw Lin Qinghuan, she smiled and beckoned for Lin Qinghuan to sit next to her.
Lin Qinghuan forced a smile and greeted them, "Grandma, Aunt, Second Aunt!"
Seeing the undisguised worry on Lin Qinghuan's face, Wei's mother held Lin Qinghuan's hand and asked with concern, "Qinghuan, were you bullied at school? Tell your aunt who bullied you, and your aunt will go and get justice for you."
Lin Qinghuan frowned slightly and said, "I wasn't bullied at school. It was my sister, Lin Piaoxue, who got into trouble?"
"That shrewd girl Lin Piaoxue is so clever, what could possibly happen to her?" Aunt Wei asked curiously.
"The more shrewd a person is, the more they worry about gains and losses, and the more likely they are to get into trouble," Grandma Wei said.
"Lin Piaoxue spends all her time at the convenience store, how could something have happened to her?" Mother Wei said, puzzled.
Lin Qinghuan sighed, "They've been missing for more than ten days. We've already reported it to the police, but we still haven't found them. It's like they've vanished. My parents are forcing me to help them look for them."
“You’re not a police officer, you’re a student, you have to study. Where would you find the time to help look for people? This is clearly making things difficult for you,” Grandma Wei said unhappily.
“My parents think I’m smart and that I’ll definitely be able to find Lin Piaoxue. They traveled a long way to ask me for help. I’ve already given them some ideas, but I don’t know if I can find Lin Piaoxue.”
Lin Qinghuan looked at Grandma Wei and said, "Grandma, could you ask someone to help us find out if any girls have gone missing recently?"
"Qinghuan, are you worried that Lin Piaoxue has been kidnapped?" Aunt Wei exclaimed.
“That’s possible,” Lin Qinghuan said.
Madam Wei sensed something was amiss in Lin Qinghuan's words and asked, "Is there perhaps another possibility?"
Lin Qinghuan gave a wry smile and said casually, "Lin Piaoxue likes to rely on her charm to say ambiguous things to men, making them mistakenly believe that Lin Piaoxue has feelings for them. She has quite a few admirers. As long as Lin Piaoxue says one word, those men will go through fire and water for her without hesitation. I used to be often bothered by her supporters..."
"You also suspect that those men are taking revenge on her out of love turned to hate?" Aunt Wei said with interest.
“I suspect that Lin Piaoxue is more likely to be the victim of retaliation. After all, on the day of Lin Piaoxue’s engagement, several men came to her door demanding justice, and one of them was even the younger brother of Lin Piaoxue’s fiancé,” Lin Qinghuan said with some difficulty.
Aunt Wei's eyes lit up, and she asked gossipily, "Tell me what happened quickly?"
Family scandals should not be aired in public. In order to find Lin Piaoxue, Lin Qinghuan gave a brief account of what happened on the day of Lin Piaoxue's engagement.
"Holy crap! Your sister is amazing! She managed to get a whole bunch of men to open their hearts to her. She's a real talent! If this were ancient times, she'd be a top-tier concubine in the emperor's harem." Wei Er said with a face full of admiration.
Seeing Aunt Wei's excited and thrilled expression, Grandma Wei raised an eyebrow and said to her second son, "You seem to really admire and yearn for Lin Piaoxue's life. Do you want to emulate her?"
Aunt Wei's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she'd said the wrong thing!
"Mom, how could I possibly envy Lin Piaoxue? I just find it unbelievable. Please don't misunderstand me. If Wei Lao Er misunderstands me and creates a rift between us, I would be so wronged."
Grandma Wei nodded slightly in satisfaction; her second son's wife was quite sensible.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, go call your Uncle Lin and ask if any girls have gone missing recently. Also, tell him about Lin Piaoxue's situation," Grandma Wei said to Wei's mother.
“Okay, I’ll go make the call right now,” said Mrs. Wei.
Lin Qinghuan said gratefully, "Grandma, thank you!"
Grandma Wei smiled kindly, "You're going to be my future granddaughter-in-law, so thanking me is too formal."
"Grandma knows that Lin Piaoxue bullied and harmed you, and you were even forced to beg someone to find her. She must be feeling terrible."
Lin Qinghuan frankly stated, "Lin Piaoxue bullied me since I was little, even scratching my face. I've already been kind enough by not seeking revenge for my parents' sake."
"All I ever wanted in my life was to stay away from Lin Piaoxue, so I wouldn't hate her anymore if I didn't see her. Who knew she would suddenly disappear, and then my parents would come begging to my door again..."
Aunt Wei said speechlessly, "Your mother was almost killed by Lin Piaoxue, and she still cares so much about Lin Piaoxue. She has a big heart. If Lin Piaoxue were my daughter, I would never care whether she lives or dies. If she dies, it is her own fault."
