Chapter 1464: Please Enter the Urn 3

Moli was so frightened that he lost his wits; at a time like this, he naturally did whatever his mother said.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Cui Xiaoqian was taken away by the hospital vehicle.

But neither Jian Yixin nor her son followed; Jian Yixin asked the hotel lobby manager to go along instead!

Although Jiangzhou Hotel was not an industry of the Jian Family, Sheng Zerong held shares there.

As a relative of a shareholder, Jian Yixin's request was naturally satisfied; the hotel sent its most reliable employee, telling the mother and son to rest assured and to call if there were any developments.

As for why Jian Yixin was able to take Moli away so smoothly, her reason was—Cui Xiaoqian must have fainted from being too excited; if she woke up and saw that the house back home had already been bought and everything was settled, wouldn't she be overjoyed?

So, although Moli was worried, he still left with his mother, driving to Xiaoqian's hometown!

……

An obscure, third-rate small county town.

Jian Yixin parked the car in front of an old residential building, turned off the engine, and told her son to get out.

"Mom, why did you bring me here? Where is this?"

"You'll know in a moment, let's go, let's go upstairs."

The mother and son walked into the unit entrance; there was no elevator, only stairs.

The building was old, and the old stairs were made of cement rather than the marble stairs with stainless steel railings that Moli was accustomed to.

The stairs were in disrepair, pitted and uneven, and in some places, the steel reinforcement bars were even exposed.

Moli suddenly thought of how he had been kidnapped by bad people when he was a child; the place where he had been locked up seemed to be just like this old house. Fear rose from the bottom of his heart, and he tripped because he wasn't paying attention.

He instinctively reached out to steady himself on the railing, only to end up with his hand covered in dust!

The iron railing could no longer show what year it had been painted; it was covered in rust, and the stairwell was not cleaned by anyone, filled with years of dust everywhere.

"Mom, where is this?" He couldn't help but ask again.

It wasn't that Jian Yixin didn't notice that her son was disgusted, or even afraid of this kind of place.

But she remembered Shi Youxuan's words: "You absolutely must not be soft-hearted; if you are soft-hearted for even a moment, you will ruin your son's entire life!"

She said to her son: "Moli, wait for me here for a moment; I forgot something in the car, I'll go down and get it."

"I'll go with you."

"No need, just wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Jian Yixin went downstairs, and sure enough, she returned after a short while, carrying a bag of nutritional supplements in her hand.

"Let's go, just two more floors and we'll be there."

The place they were going to was on the seventh floor, which was also the top floor of this building.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Jian Yixin knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Footsteps came from inside the room, the door opened, and an old woman with a face full of wrinkles stood at the doorway, looking suspiciously at the well-dressed mother and son: "Do you have business with me?"

Jian Yixin asked: "Old lady, you are Cui Xiaoqian's grandmother, right? Are her parents home?"

Upon hearing the three words "Cui Xiaoqian," the old woman's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our Xiaoqian must have cheated your family out of money again, right? I beg you to go find her, don't come looking for this old woman anymore; all my money was taken by her, and now I can't even take out a single cent..."

"Sob, sob, sob..."

The old woman cried with tears streaming down her face, looking especially heartbroken.

Moli was stunned.

He asked foolishly: "Mom, did we go to the wrong place? Xiaoqian said her parents were both teachers and that her grandmother had died long ago."

"Don't speak, just listen."

Jian Yixin told the old woman that they hadn't come here for money, but to visit her; she introduced herself as a friend of Cui Xiaoqian and handed over the nutritional supplements.

"What? You are her friends?"

The old woman's gaze became sharp, and she suddenly pushed them away in a fit of rage, throwing the nutritional supplements onto the stairs without even looking at them.

"Get out! You are all shameless things; what kind of friends? Just bad company, hanging out together every day, eating, drinking, and fooling around. You will suffer for your evil deeds; sooner or later, you will get your retribution. Oh my god, Heaven, open your eyes and take all these bastards away..."

The old woman sat at the doorway, crying and cursing.

The commotion here alerted the neighbors, and several old women came up from downstairs.

"Stop crying, it's a family misfortune; it's not your fault, you've already fulfilled your responsibilities..."

"That's right, Lao Zhang is right; we've been neighbors for decades, how could we not know what kind of person you are? Stop crying, sigh, I don't know what kind of sins were committed in the past life to have such troublesome children and grandchildren in this life!"

Old trees have many roots, and old people have many words.

Without needing to be asked, the several old women chattered away, revealing most of the situation regarding the Cui family.

Cui Xiaoqian's family environment was very complicated; her father was a drunkard and a gambler, and her mother was someone her father had tricked into coming back from somewhere years ago.

After giving birth to Cui Xiaoqian, she ran away, and for many years, she had been raised by her grandmother.

The old woman had been a teacher when she was young, so Cui Xiaoqian's grades had always been quite good; if everything had followed her grandmother, it would have been fine, but her personality happened to take after her father.

From a young age, Cui Xiaoqian was vain and loved pretty clothes, shoes, stationery... she had to compare everything with the girls in her class, and if she couldn't win, she would get angry.

It started with ruining her classmates' nice things and dirtying other girls' pretty clothes.

Later, it developed into swindling money—swindling money from classmates and parents—and all the money she swindled was used to buy pretty clothes and shoes.

There is no such thing as an airtight wall in this world.

This place was small to begin with, so Cui Xiaoqian's reputation soon stank.

After getting into college, she was quiet for a while, and no one came looking for her for several months; now that her "friends" had come to the door, the old woman broke down and wailed.

The scene was chaotic for a time.

But Moli had figured one thing out—the situation in Cui Xiaoqian's family was not at all what he had imagined!

In fact, it wasn't just different from what he had imagined; it was also different from what Jian Yixin had imagined.

Before coming, Jian Yixin had someone conduct an investigation; she only knew that Cui Xiaoqian's father was a degenerate gambler and that she had no mother, but she had not expected her grandmother to be an old lady with such upright values.

Jian Yixin told the old lady the purpose of her visit, but Cui Grandma only heard the first sentence before telling the mother and son: "They lied to you, our house was never sold at all, she just wanted to swindle you..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you suffering from senile dementia? Is that any way to talk about your own granddaughter?" A man walked in from outside.

The man looked to be in his forties, and without any introduction, the mother and son knew who he was!

This was because Cui Xiaoqian's appearance was remarkably similar to the man's, though the difference was that Cui Xiaoqian's eyes were not as clouded as his.

"The car parked downstairs is yours, right?" A greedy light appeared in the man's eyes.

"What do you want to do? You have already done enough wicked deeds, don't you dare—mmph!"

"Shut your mouth! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll bury you alive right now!"
