Chapter 983: It really wasn't me!

~8 min read 1,422 words

At this very moment, in the A04 villa of Tang Chen Yi Pin.

Zhang Guifen, Li Yueqin, and Dong Yuling had just filled their stomachs.

They waited and waited, but they couldn't wait for Old Mrs. Xiao's family to return, and they were hungry and uncomfortable. They happened to find the ingredients Qian Hongyan had prepared but hadn't had time to cook, so they took the initiative and made a sumptuous feast with those ingredients.

Before Wu Donghai withdrew his capital, the Xiao family's living standard was quite good. After all, Wu Donghai had previously invested in the Xiao Group, allowing the Xiao Group to recover its vitality, and the old lady had also restored her old-fashioned style, and their living standard had improved significantly.

Moreover, Qian Hongyan had specially prepared very sumptuous ingredients today, just to celebrate for Xiao Changgan and Xiao Hailong after they dealt with Ma Lan.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family didn't get to eat a single bite of these ingredients, and it all went to Zhang Guifen and the others.

The three of them were now full, lying on the sofa with their limbs spread out, watching TV.

This TV was the one Xiao Hailong had moved up from the basement room after selling the big TV. Compared to the previous one, it was indeed much smaller, and it looked somewhat uncoordinated in the huge living room.

Zhang Guifen watched TV while smacking her lips, saying, "Oh my, Old Mrs. Xiao's villa is good in every way, but this TV seems a bit small. Compared to such a large living room, it looks a bit uncoordinated."

Dong Yuling asked in surprise, "My dear mother! Isn't this big TV 50 inches or so? The village chief's TV at home isn't even this big, and you say this is small?"

"Yeah..." Li Yueqin also echoed, "I've never seen such a big TV before."

Zhang Guifen waved her hand and said, "You don't understand. TVs in rich people's homes start at 70 or 80 inches. When I was working at a housekeeping company in the city last year, I went to clean a rich person's house, and that TV was several circles bigger than this!"

Dong Yuling sighed, "Good heavens! Why have such a big TV? Your eyeballs have to run back and forth on such a big TV, isn't it tiring?"

Zhang Guifen sneered, "Look at your lack of ambition. According to you, when people watch a movie in the cinema, their eyeballs must fall to the ground!"

Dong Yuling scratched her head, "I've never been to a cinema, I don't know what it's like."

Zhang Guifen said, "I've been there. I've worked as a cleaner in a cinema too. Let me tell you, the screen in the cinema is bigger than one wall of this living room, you two just imagine!"

Li Yueqin on the side asked, "Bigger than this wall, that's too scary!"

Zhang Guifen said, "You two are truly ignorant. Wait until Old Mrs. Xiao takes us to the cinema to watch a movie, then you'll know!"

The three were chatting when the ambulance drove into the courtyard.

However, they had the TV volume turned up very high, so no one heard the movement outside.

After the ambulance stopped, the driver and the passenger jumped out and roughly moved Xiao Changgan and Xiao Hailong, the father and son, off the car.

They didn't move them down with the mobile hospital bed, but directly moved them down and placed them on the marble floor in the courtyard.

Seeing that they were about to get in the car and leave, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to help us move them in?"

The driver said impatiently, "The customer's request is to send you to the place, it doesn't include the door-to-door service fee. If you want us to help, that's fine, 200 yuan per person."

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "I don't have a single cent!"

The driver frowned and asked, "You live in such a luxurious villa, and you don't even have 400 yuan?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said urgently, "People don't use cash when they go out now, so we haven't kept money at home. Now our mobile payments and bank cards are all frozen, there's really no way!"

The driver waved his hand, "Then we can't help."

Xiao Weiwei said angrily, "You are doctors, isn't saving lives and helping the wounded your duty?"

The driver looked at her seriously, "Little girl, I want to make it clear to you, we are not doctors, and this is not a 120 emergency ambulance from a public hospital, but a transfer ambulance operated by a private company. It's just like a taxi. We are just driving to earn money. If you pay, we work, understand?"

Xiao Weiwei couldn't say a word.

The man said with disdain, "What kind of people, living in such a good villa, and can't even afford 400 yuan!"

After speaking, the two got into the car directly, started the car, and left.

Xiao Weiwei stomped her feet in anger, and the old lady sighed helplessly. She said to her and Qian Hongyan, "My old bones can't exert any strength. You two move Changgan into the house first, and then come out to move Hailong."

Xiao Weiwei and Qian Hongyan also knew there was no other way, so they could only grit their teeth and use all their strength to carefully support Xiao Changgan.

Xiao Changgan kept groaning in pain, saying painfully, "Move a little smaller, it's really too painful..."

Old Mrs. Xiao shook her head and sighed, "Changgan, there's really no other way now, just bear with it!"

As she spoke, she said to Xiao Weiwei and Qian Hongyan, "You two support Changgan well, I'll go open the door first!"

Xiao Weiwei and Qian Hongyan arduously supported Xiao Changgan and moved step by step to the door. Old Mrs. Xiao was about to scan her fingerprint to open the door when she suddenly heard the sound of the TV inside and asked Xiao Weiwei in surprise, "Weiwei, didn't you turn off the TV when we left?"

Xiao Weiwei shook her head, "I was in such a hurry when we left, I forgot too."

"Alright." Old Mrs. Xiao didn't think much and opened the door directly.

As soon as the door opened, she saw three people lying on the sofa in the living room!

She shouted in shock, "You... who are you?!"

Zhang Guifen and the others heard the movement and suddenly looked back. Finding that Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei had come, they recognized these two former prison mates at a glance.

Zhang Guifen was extremely excited and ran over first, saying excitedly, "Old lady! You're finally back! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Seeing the three people running over barefoot, Old Mrs. Xiao was shocked and speechless.

She naturally recognized Zhang Guifen and the others, but she couldn't figure out why these three were out? And why were they in her house?!

So, she asked in surprise, "Guifen, you... how are you here!"

Zhang Guifen said excitedly, "Old lady! You're still playing dumb! Isn't it you who arranged for our bail pending trial and got us out?"

"Me?!" Old Mrs. Xiao said with a confused face, "This... isn't there some misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding!" Zhang Guifen hurriedly said, "Old lady, I know, you are grateful that we helped you a lot in the detention center and took care of you a lot, so you want to repay the kindness and want us to come and live in Tang Chen Yi Pin to enjoy the blessings!"

Li Yueqin on the side also echoed, "Yeah, Old Mrs. Xiao, you are truly too kind! You even specially sent a Mercedes to pick us up. This is the first time in my life I've sat in a Mercedes!"

Zhang Guifen said with some emotion, "Old lady, let me tell you the truth, the three of us are very grateful to you! So we have decided that from now on, we will stay here and not leave. We will take care of you like our own mother and provide for you until the end!"

Old Mrs. Xiao felt a deep despair welling up in her heart, and she blurted out anxiously, "Guifen, listen to me, there must be some misunderstanding here. It really wasn't me who got you out! And, I really didn't want you to come here and live with me!" ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
