After she hung up, she turned to look at Wang Lan and her daughter. 13579246810ggaax
Both mother and daughter were thin and frail. They looked miserable and pitiful.
Wang Lan was sobbing uncontrollably, but her daughter was giggling as she tugged at the corner of her shirt and stuffed it into her mouth.
Wang Lan wiped her tears with her sleeves and helped her daughter up.
They walked over to the pancake stall.
Before Wang Lan could make the pancake, her daughter reached out, snatched a ham sausage and stuffed it into her mouth.
The way she gobbled down the food made the people around them point fingers at her.
She could hear someone sighing, "Poor girl. She was so pretty and good at her studies, but now she's been taken away by those loan sharks. She's been starving for three whole days, scared out of her wits. Sigh! Life is so unpredictable! "
She slowly lowered her head.
She had never been one to sympathize with her enemies, but the sight of this mother-daughter pair in front of her reminded her of the past.
Eight years ago, something had happened to her parents and the family business had gone bankrupt. She and her brother had been left with nothing and had almost been sent to an orphanage.
She had struggled to survive, dragging her brother along with her.
In this world, the strong always hid behind the weak and let the weak suffer.
So why should she continue to make things difficult for Wang Lan?
Their lives were already so miserable, wasn't it?
Besides, even without Wang Lan's testimony, she had other ways to find out the truth.
Two hundred thousand was not a small number.
If she took it all out in one go, it would definitely leave traces.
At this thought, she quietly walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi and headed home.
As she entered the villa, she heard Xia Yehua and Auntie Li talking in the dining room.
Auntie Li said, "This fermented glutinous rice ball is Miss Song's favorite."
Xia Yehua said, "Yuanxi also likes my sweet and sour pork ribs. Bring some along."
"Ok, got it."
Xia Yehua smiled and said, "The food at the filming location must be terrible. I wonder if she'll get used to it. What if she loses weight? "
Auntie Li shook her head and said, "You're worrying for nothing. Miss Yuanxi will be overjoyed if she loses weight. Which girl doesn't want to be slim these days? "
Xia Yehua shook her head. "What's so good about being skinny? They're all like sickly beauties. Alas, little Qiao will be back soon, you quickly leave from the back door, don't let her see you. By the way, where did you put the fermented rice balls that I left for Xiao Qiao? "
"I've served it on the dining table. Madam, I'll bring Miss Yuanxi some food now."
The sound of footsteps could be heard.
Qiao Lian wanted to retreat, but it was too late. She bumped into Auntie Li and Xia Yehua.
Auntie Li was slightly taken aback. She instinctively hid the lunchbox behind her and said anxiously, "Madam …"
Xia Yehua froze and lifted her head to look at Qiao Lian. Her expression was like that of a child who had done something wrong.
Qiao Lian looked at the two of them and sighed to herself.
Xia Yehua really liked Song Yuanxi. Even when Song Yuanxi wasn't home, she still cared about her.
Qiao Lian's gaze fell on the bento box behind Auntie Li.
Xia Yehua said awkwardly, "Xiao Qiao, I —"
"Mom." Qiao Lian suddenly looked up at her and said, "I'm going to bring Yuanxi some food."
Xia Yehua paused and looked up to meet Qiao Lian's sincere gaze.
Her expression slowly softened and finally became gentle. Her expression also became magnanimous. "Alright."
Song Yuanxi didn't trust Qiao Lian, but she was family after all.
