She stared blankly at her own hands, sowhat incredulously saying, "What's happened to ? How could I have so much strength?"
Xu Hao smiled and told her about what had happened last night, and after listening, her eyes filled with astonishnt and she repeatedly marveled at how magical it was.
"Humph! I knew you did it on purpose, not telling earlier, just to laugh at ," Xiao Lan said, pouting with annoyance.
Xu Hao smiled and played around with Xiao Lan for a bit. After breakfast, he drove her to Guo Lan's ho, leaving the matters of the orphanage to two new aunts they had hired.
Xiao Lan wanted to stay at the orphanage forever to take care of the children, but Xu Hao knew very well that there was sothing peculiar about Xiao Lan's body, showing she was not as simple as she appeared. She would definitely have to leave the orphanage and move on to a bigger stage in the future.
Therefore, since Xiao Lan herself couldn't let go, he decided to help her let go in advance, to get her used to life outside the orphanage.
North District Four, an ordinary residential area.
Originally, Xu Hao wanted to buy Guo Lan and her daughter an apartnt in a high-class residential area, but Guo Lan refused, and only after much persuasion did she agree to live in this ordinary residential area.
However, Xu Hao could understand her thinking. High-class areas were inhabited by rich people. Although Xu Hao gave her so money out of gratitude, she still couldn't compare with the truly rich. Living here brought less pressure indeed.
Moreover, this residential area was very close to The Eighth Elentary School, almost like a school-zone ho, which also made it convenient for her commute.
However, what no one expected was that she had been fired.
In the morning, Guo Lan, carrying her daughter Qian Youyou, went out to the market to buy groceries.
However, before she reached the market, she saw two familiar figures.
They were two thugs with explosive, colorfully dyed hair, smoking cigarettes, wearing thick gold-plated necklaces, and strutting around arrogantly as if they did not care about anyone else.
When Guo Lan saw them, her body shuddered, and she tightened her grip on her arm, holding Qian Youyou even closer, then lowered her head, intending to head back ho. Need character sheets and glossaries? Visit *.
But those two n had sharp eyes and had spotted Guo Lan and her daughter from afar. After exchanging glances, they walked over here.
Guo Lan's face turned extrely ugly all of a sudden, and she quickened her pace, trying to leave the area.
Just then, one of the thugs shouted, "Guo Lan, stop there!"
All eyes suddenly turned toward them, but Guo Lan ignored it, clutching Qian Youyou and running towards her ho.
The thug coldly snorted, "Guo Lan, when are you going to repay the money you owe?!"
Upon hearing the thug slander her, Guo Lan almost stopped to argue with him, but she knew she shouldn't, otherwise, she would fall right into the thug's trap and be stuck here. So she continued toward her ho.
At this mont, the crowd, hearing that Guo Lan owed the thug money and was not paying it back, even seemingly trying to flee, imdiately soone pointed at Guo Lan and said, "Ah, people these days are really hard to say. This young lady looks quite pretty and is even holding a child. Who would have thought that she would be soone who doesn't repay her debts?"
"Exactly, paying debts is a matter of principle, nobody should be able to escape it! If the adult behaves like this, what kind of children can she raise?"
"Ah, the morals of society are declining, it really is unfortunate for this little girl to have such a mother," another chid in.
The crowd started discussing animatedly, all blaming Guo Lan, thinking she was just trying to avoid repaying her debts.
Guo Lan imdiately stopped in her tracks, desperately argued, "I don't owe him any money at all, he's just making it up! He's trying to extort !"
Soone imdiately retorted, "That's a bit too much to say, isn't it? He even ca here to ask you for the money, and you still won't pay and even accuse him of framing you, whoever lent you the money is surely unlucky!"
The thug imdiately said, "Exactly, she borrowed so much money from a while ago, a whole one hundred thousand, but when it ca to settling, she wouldn't pay back, no matter how I asked. You tell , shouldn't I be angry?"
"It's indeed a reason to be angry. I despise people who don't repay their debts the most. This woman doesn't deserve to be a mother!" soone angrily said.
Guo Lan was so anxious she was almost in tears, she sternly said, "I really don't owe him any money, he's just trying to blackmail ! If he's so sure, let him show the IOU!"
The thug sneered, "Oh? You really think I don't have it? You tore up the IOU a while ago, but you probably don't know, that was just my spare. I still have the original IOU at ho."
Guo Lan was furious inside, there was no such thing at all, but he insisted on slandering her for owing him money; this was clearly extortion!
The main problem was, she thought the people around would help her, but unexpectedly, they all sided with the thug!
This was clearly a deliberate distortion of the truth, designed to confuse the listeners!
