The aristocratic circle itself was not big, and as long as there was a slight movement, it would be like a prairie fire. Du Jiawen, who was number one in equestrian, lost to the unknown Lin Xiyan. No matter what the rules of the competition were, Du Jiawen lost.
"Xiyan, I know Du Jiawen's character very well. She won't tolerate this. You'd better take my car home.”Li Xinyou knew that Du Jiawen would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on Lin Xiyan.
"No need. I still have to take Xiao Ya to the hospital to see the injury on the back of her hand.”Lin Xiyan knew that Du Jiawen would definitely take revenge on her. Even if he could avoid today, he could not hide for the rest of his life. He might as well face it head-on.
"But if anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to my brother when he comes back from Nandu?”
"It's okay. I'll take care of myself. As you can see, I have some martial arts. Alright, the driver has been waiting for a long time. Let's go home quickly. I want to see if Xiao Ya is okay.”
Since she couldn't persuade Lin Xiyan, Li Xinyou decided to stay. Even if Du Jiawen wanted to harm Lin Xiyan, she wouldn't go too far with him around.
When she walked out of the school, Lin Xiyan looked around warily. After there was no suspicious person, she walked in the direction of the church hospital.
As they walked and chatted, they did not notice that there were seven or eight people sneaking behind them. When they entered a less crowded street, those people quickened their pace with daggers in their hands. But before they could get close to Lin Xiyan and the others, a group of well-trained men in black with guns appeared out of nowhere and knocked them unconscious and took them away.
Lin Xiyan had a feeling that someone was following behind them. She turned around but there was no one. Was she overthinking things?
"Adjutant Wei, the people from the White Tiger Hall have been cleaned up. Do you still want to follow Miss Lin?”a soldier asked.
"Of course, don't let Miss Lin find you.”Lin Xiyan was the woman that the young marshal had taken a fancy to. If anything happened to her, his head would be removed at any time. Sigh, it was not an easy task to serve under the young marshal.
Jiang Xiaoya's injury was only an ordinary soft tissue contusion, and it was not considered serious.
"Look, I told you it's fine. It'll be fine in a few days. Why did you have to come to the hospital? You spent a few yuan for nothing.”Jiang Xiaoya's heart ached for the money. That was her living expenses for a few months.
"It's always good to be careful. We can afford this." Li Xinyou said.
"Thank you. It's good to have you guys as friends." Jiang Xiaoya was so touched that she cried.
"Xiao Ya, don't cry. You still have to go to work later. If your eyes are swollen, makeup won't look good." Lin Xiyan wiped Jiang Xiaoya's tears. What a heart-wrenching girl.
"Little Ya, my brother has found you a job as a tutor. He'll bring you to see the workers when he comes back from Nandu.”
A different light flashed in Jiang Xiaoya's eyes when she spoke of Li Yizhuo, but she quickly concealed it.
"Alright, Youyou, go home quickly. Xiao Ya and I will go along the way."
Li Xinyou nodded and hailed a rickshaw. Lin Xiyan held Jiang Xiaoya's arm as they walked. This place was not far from the dance hall where Xiaoya worked. It was only two streets away.
They were chatting and laughing when Jiang Xiaoya was suddenly bumped into by someone.
"Little Ya, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
The person who bumped into Jiang Xiaoya was an old woman. At this moment, she looked helplessly at Lin Xiyan and the others.
"Is granny injured?" Although it was her mother-in-law who knocked into Xiaoya, she was old and Lin Xiyan was worried that she would hit something bad.
"Nan Nan, you're back. Mother misses you so much.”Suddenly, her mother-in-law grabbed Lin Xiyan and refused to let go.
"Granny, you've got the wrong person. Where is your family?" Lin Xiyan looked around. Her mother-in-law seemed to be alone.
"Xiyan, this mother-in-law is strange. Is she crazy? Or are you trying to extort money?" Jiang Xiaoya was worried that her mother-in-law was a liar.
Grandma was wearing an old-fashioned black dress with red floral patterns. The style of the dress was old, but the material was excellent. Moreover, she was wearing a jade bracelet that was completely green and had a very good water head. The bracelet seemed to be expensive, and there was a gemstone ring on her finger. She should not be from an ordinary family.
"Granny, where do you live?" Lin Xiyan asked.
"Home? My house is over there. No, my house is over here. Darling, Mother can't find her home. "Sob, sob, sob." Grandma started crying.
"Granny, don't cry. Let's think about it slowly. Come, let's sit over there and think about it." Lin Xiyan brought her mother-in-law to a stone step and sat down. Her mother-in-law should be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
"Xiao Ya, granny must have gone missing. You go to work, I'll stay with my mother-in-law and wait for her family.”
"Xiyan, I'm worried. What if your mother-in-law extorts you?”
"Don't worry, she won't blackmail me. The jade bracelet on her wrist was worth quite a bit of silver.”
" Alright, be careful." Jiang Xiaoya left.
Lin Xiyan sat down with her mother-in-law." Think about it, mother-in-law. Is there anything special about the place you live in?"”
"I don't know. I'm hungry. Nan Nan, buy some sesame seed cakes for Mother to eat." The mother-in-law held Lin Xiyan's hand tightly.
"Okay, wait here. I'll go buy it."
"No, Mother will go with you. Mother won't leave you behind again."
Nannan should be the nickname of her mother-in-law's daughter. Her mother-in-law must have experienced a sad past.
Lin Xiyan took her mother-in-law into a cake shop across the road. Cakes in this period were very expensive, and ordinary people couldn't bear to eat them. Lin Xiyan looked at the price. Fortunately, she had enough money to buy a piece of cake, but she would have to walk home later. Alright, I'll do it as a weight-loss exercise.
Perhaps her mother-in-law was extremely hungry, she finished the cake in two or three bites."Nan Nan, mother still wants to eat."
He had no money on hand. Lin Xiyan smiled awkwardly at the shop assistant.""I'm sorry, Miss. Can I pay on credit here? I can leave the address. You can go to my house to ask for money.”
The shop assistant saw Lin Xiyan's school uniform and guessed that she came from a good family, so she answered,""Since you can study in a church school, your family background should be pretty good. But I'm also working, so I can't make the decision. I'm sorry, Miss, but we can't pay on credit.”
"Nan Nan, mother is hungry."
"Grandma and the others don't give me credit. I don't have any money.”Lin Xiyan was troubled. It seemed that her mother-in-law was indeed very hungry. Thinking about it, he said to the shop assistant,"Can I use items as collateral? I'll pay for it later."
"That's fine, but Miss, you know that the cakes here are very expensive, so you have to exceed the price of the cakes.”the shop assistant said.
Lin Xiyan took off the necklace she was wearing. It was a birthday present from her mother and should be worth a lot of money.
The shop assistant took the necklace and gave Lin Xiyan a piece of cake.
Granny finished eating very quickly. "Are you full, mother-in-law?" asked Lin Xiyan.”Please eat your fill. I don't have anything else to pledge except myself.
In the end, the mother-in-law nodded in satisfaction. Lin Xiyan heaved a sigh of relief and left the cake shop with her mother-in-law.
The sky gradually darkened, and Grandma fell asleep leaning against herself. It was not a good idea to wait like this without seeing her mother-in-law's family come to look for her. She was also very hungry.
At this time, a luxury car stopped in front of Lin Xiyan and her mother-in-law. Soon, several black-clothed men surrounded them. The car door opened, and a young man in a long black robe got out.
In this era, not only were there beautiful women, but there were also many handsome men. If Duan Weilin was a handsome ruffian, Li Yizhuo was a noble Prince Charming, and the person in front of him was a cold aristocrat.
The "Chief Long" men were very respectful to the young man.
"Are you the one who has been accompanying my grandmother?”Long Qian asked Lin Xiyan.
"You're granny's grandson.”During this period, families who could drive cars were all rich.
" Thank you," Long Qian said lightly. He reached out to pick up his grandmother, but he didn't want her to wake up.
"No, I don't want to go back with you. I've found Nan Nan. I want to go with my Nan Nan.”Her mother-in-law pulled Lin Xiyan and refused to let go.
Long Qian frowned slightly. The Nan Nan mentioned by his grandmother was actually his aunt who had passed away a long time ago. Long Qian looked at Lin Xiyan. She was an innocent and pure girl. She was kind enough to protect her grandmother.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"Lin Xiyan."
"I have a presumptuous request. I hope that Miss Lin can help me send Grandmother home. After settling Grandmother down, I will send someone to send Miss home safely.”
Lin Xiyan looked at Long Qian. He didn't look like a bad person. Moreover, her mother-in-law was looking at her pitifully. Lin Xiyan nodded in agreement.
