Chapter 227 Encounter and Reunion (3)
Yanting finally pulled out a coin.
The boy caught the coin, tossed it into the air, put one hand in his pocket, said "Follow me," and left.
Watching the boy's retreating figure, Yanting was about to follow him, but she suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken her suitcase yet, so she quickly called out to him, "Wait a minute, I'll go get my suitcase."
However, Chen Xiao did not stop.
Just as Yanting was getting anxious, the other party actually walked straight towards the large vermilion iron gate.
He walked up to the iron gate, picked up his suitcase, and left without looking back.
After standing there for two seconds, Yan Ting quickly ran over and followed.
The boy had long legs and walked very fast. Just when Yan Ting was starting to fall behind, Chen Xiao had to slow down so that the girl could catch up with him.
"Brother Chen." Two teenagers walked towards him and greeted Chen Xiao as they saw him.
"Brother Chen, what's going on?"
A young man with dyed hair looked at Yanting with a hint of amazement in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, is this your girlfriend?"
"No, we are just strangers."
As she spoke, Yan Ting subconsciously looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao said casually, "Just helping this directionally challenged guy find his way."
After saying that, he left.
That manner was utterly arrogant beyond measure.
Just as Yanting was wondering if she might offend these two people, they both seemed completely unfazed.
Seeing that the girl hadn't caught up, the boy stopped and turned to look at her: "What are you standing there for? Come on."
"Oh, oh." Yan Ting gave an awkward smile, then jogged over to catch up with the other person.
The relative Li Qian mentioned was a middle-aged woman who used to work as a nanny for the Yan family, taking care of the grandmother's daily life.
After dropping Yanting off, Chen Xiao turned and left.
Yanting didn't even have a chance to say thank you.
When the middle-aged woman saw Yan Ting, she smiled broadly and said, "Miss Yan! You can stay here with me without worry. I will take good care of you."
Although Yan Ting's eyes were distant, she still smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhao."
"Just call me Xiaoting from now on."
Liu Zhao: "How can that be?"
“I’ve set aside a room for Miss Yan. This room used to be used to store cardboard boxes. I hope Miss Yan won’t mind?”
Yan Ting replied calmly, "It's alright, as long as I can stay here."
Liu Zhao smiled slightly: "That's good."
"I live in a town, so life here is naturally not comparable to that in a big city. I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Yan."
Yanting: "It's okay, I think Yuewan Town is very beautiful."
Liu Zhao's smile faded slightly.
"That's fine."
Yanting followed the woman into the room.
The room wasn't very big, and it seemed to have just been cleaned. There was a bed and a wardrobe, but no air conditioning.
However, the lighting is still acceptable.
Because of the old lady, Liu Zhao didn't dare to go too far with this young lady from the city.
"If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Miss Yan."
Yanting smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Zhao from now on."
After Liu Zhao left, the smile on Yan Ting's face instantly faded.
She could naturally tell that Liu Zhao didn't welcome her, but so what? With her grandmother around, he wouldn't dare to make a scene with her openly.

Yanting's arrival in the town immediately sparked a lot of discussion.
After all, it's human nature to gossip.
"Tsk tsk, you didn't see it, that young girl is so pretty." Several middle-aged women sat together chatting and eating sunflower seeds.
"Judging from their clothes and appearance, they must be from a big city."
"Seriously? What's a rich girl from a big city doing in this small town?"
"Who knows? But I heard that she was forcibly sent here by her mother."
……
Just after Yanting finished tidying up the room, her grandmother called.
"grandmother."
"Tingting!" The old lady's voice came through the phone: "Take good care of yourself over there. I'll talk to your mother, and I'll have someone bring you back in a while."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
The old lady gave a few instructions on the phone before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Yanting sat on the bed in a daze.
She had long been utterly disappointed in Li Qian.
Li Qian's dislike for her wasn't something that developed overnight.
But she never expected that her brother Yan Nan would treat her like that one day.
Whenever she thought of Yan Nan's cold gaze, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
There is a kind of coldness that is like being immersed in the dead of winter.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Yan Ting glanced at the screen and saw that it was Li Qian calling.
She didn't answer.
But the phone kept ringing.
Yan Ting frowned slightly, but she eventually answered the phone.
Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, Li Qian's questioning voice came from the other end: "Did you complain to the old lady again? I knew you were a troublemaker. Let me tell you, with me here, you can forget about coming back."
Yan Ting remained silent.
She was already used to Li Qian's terrible attitude.
She listened expressionlessly to Li Qian's harsh words on the phone.
Then, just as the other person is about to utter that offensive curse word, hang up the phone.
Two seconds after the call ended, it rang again.
Yanting immediately blocked Li Qian's number.
After blocking them, she thought for a moment and then blocked Yanshan and Yannan's phone numbers as well, leaving only her grandmother's phone number pinned to the top.
After being blocked, Li Qian must be furious again.
At this moment, Yanting suddenly felt that leaving the Yan family and coming to Yuewan Town wasn't so bad; at least it was quiet and there weren't so many worries.
*
There is a small commercial street in Yuewan Town.
Yanting had just arrived in Yuewan Town, so naturally he wanted to take a look around.
The old lady was afraid that her granddaughter would suffer, so she asked the housekeeper to transfer another million to Yanting.
Yanting didn't want it, but she couldn't resist the old lady's persistent pleading.
The old lady also said that she could have as much fun as she wanted over there.
On this sweltering day, Yanting just wanted something cold to eat.
She walked up to the milk tea shop, just about to order a cup of milk tea.
A shout rang out.
"Help!"
"Someone's robbing me!"
This commercial street has a lot of foot traffic.
People coming and going are most likely to encounter pickpockets and robberies.
Yan Ting looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged woman chasing a man.
The man was clearly carrying a bag in his arms.
A sharp glint appeared in his amber eyes.
Then passersby saw a beautiful young girl kick the man to the ground.
The man immediately fainted.
The onlookers who witnessed this scene: ...
What the hell!
It's amazing how such a delicate little girl is so capable.
They didn't know if it was Yan Ting who kicked him with less force, otherwise the man would have been half-dead long ago.
"Auntie, here's your bag."
After receiving the bag, the woman who had been robbed thanked Yanting profusely.
"Young lady, thank you so much! Let me treat you to a meal."
Yanting refused.
This whole scene was witnessed by Chen Xiao, who was eating across from him.
"Holy crap!" the fat man sitting opposite exclaimed in surprise, "How much strength does it take to knock a man unconscious?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you can't judge a book by its cover!"
Chen Xiao remained silent, his expression indifferent.
The fat man stroked his chin and chuckled, "But she is really beautiful."
"That waist, those legs, that—"
Before he could finish speaking, the fat man was kicked.
"Ouch, Brother Chen, why did you kick me?"
Chen Xiao smiled enigmatically: "Eat your food."
