Chapter 393: Chapter 393 The Lights in the Corridor are Broken Again_1
"What’s going on?"
Su Xiaomeng glared over at him.
Yang Kai, covering the red half of his face, said with a look of grievance, "Elder sister, you’re carrying an evil aura. That’s a sign of great misfortune."
"Ptui! Pervert!"
As Su Xiaomeng hailed a taxi and left, Yang Kai turned to Liao Yong and Dai Zhenan, "Did I say something wrong just now?"
Liao Yong and Dai Zhenan shrugged in unison.
At that moment, Wei Shuxian came over from not too far away and said to the three of them, "Let’s go, Old Shu and Goddess Wu are back from the mountains, and they’ve brought a little sister with them."
"Oh—little sister, hehe..."
Yang Kai’s mouth naturally spread into a grin, tsk tsk.
Wei Shuxian rolled his eyes at him impatiently and said, "The girl has a pitiful background. Old Shu has already recognized her as his little sister and has even given her a new name."
"What’s her name?" Liao Yong turned and asked.
"She took Old Shu’s surname Li, called Xian Yan, with the nickname Little Qinniang."
"Wow, just from the name you can tell she’s gonna be a stunner who turns heads. Come on, let’s hurry and get acquainted!"
With that, Yang Kai jumped into the Great Wall SUV parked on the roadside parking space.
Speaking of which, this car was newly bought by Yang Kai. To use his own words, it was second only to Nie Ying’s presence, his little mistress.
After everyone got into the car, Yang Kai poked his head out and asked Jiang Leng, who was still standing at the roadside, "Cousin, are you coming too?"
Jiang Leng was silent for three seconds, nodded slightly, turned and pressed a key in his pocket, and the taillights of the Aston Martin supercar parked three or four meters behind the Great Wall SUV flashed.
"These days, comparing with others is really like comparing with the dead," Yang Kai sighed softly. But then he kissed the steering wheel in front of him and had a look of satisfaction on his face, "But that’s their riches to have. I’m quite content with my life as it is!"
As he spoke, Yang Kai stepped on the gas, and the two cars nearly shot out of the road at the same time, heading towards No. 72, Baojia Street.
Little Qinniang seemed very restrained.
Especially after entering the city, she was now snuggled in your arms, her head lowered, not daring to make eye contact with the handsome men and beautiful women appearing constantly.
"Little Yan, why aren’t you eating anything?" Han Lele brought out some washed fruits from the kitchen and placed them on the coffee table in front of Little Qinniang.
"Little Yan is just shy," said Hu Meili with a giggly smile.
Xiao Feng pulled Han Lele into his arms and asked Tao Wenwen sitting next to him, "Where did Nie Ying and the others go? They’re not answering their cellphones?"
"Stop it, everyone’s watching," Han Lele said, shrinking back a little.
"What does it matter, nobody here is a stranger," retorted Xiao Feng, whose face was always thick-skinned. You couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
Tao Wenwen adjusted her glasses on her nose and in her usual mosquito-like voice said, "Sister Ying took Liu Qing and Little Han on a mission. She just sent a text saying they’re on their way back and should be arriving soon."
"Muhahaha, it’s gonna be so lively here tonight!"
While they were talking, Zong Wangyue’s insufferable figure leaped out from the entrance, followed by Qiu Ju and Dongxue. It was also the first time for both women to meet everyone, and they seemed a bit nervous, repeatedly bowing to everyone as they entered.
Zong Wangyue grabbed the waists of the two women, planting a kiss on each of their cheeks, and said with a grin, "Babes, no need to be so stiff. With so many people here, you just need to make sure to please the Boss and his wife... mmph! Mmph!"
An orange flew accurately from your hand, finally shutting up the nuisance.
Zong Wangyue managed to pull the orange out of his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, someone gave him a hard push on the back, and then Yang Kai jumped out, "Where’s the little sister? Where’s the little sister?"
"Damn it! Little Kai, are you trying to commit murder?"
Zong Wangyue threw himself at the other.
"You want to fight, I’m up for it," he said.
And with that, the two fools began scuffling on a carpet nearby.
Xiao Feng glanced at them, shook his head slightly, then let go of Han Lele in his arms and walked over to you and Little Qinniang, feigning gentleness as he said, "Little Yan, nice to meet you, I’m Brother Feng."
Little Qinniang slightly raised her head, shyly looking at Xiao Feng.
"Brother Feng and your brother are the best of friends; we grew up together. I know all his secrets, including when he wet the bed," Xiao Feng said with a grin. Before you could react, he quickly stepped back a few paces to his original spot.
At that moment, you turned your head toward the entrance and saw Jiang Leng standing there, which took you by surprise.
You had only met Jiang Leng once before and didn’t have much of an impression of this cousin you’d only met fleetingly.
Yang Kai and Zong Wangyue had stopped fighting by now, and both men stood up, panting heavily.
Yang Kai said to you with a cheerful smile, "Old Shu, I just happened to bump into our cousin in the street, and when he heard you’d recognized a little sister, he made a special trip over."
Nodding, you said to Jiang Leng, "Take a seat. Nobody here today is an outsider."
"Okay."
Jiang Leng took a seat next to Yang Kai, his eyes fixed on Little Qinniang, his brows slightly furrowed.
"What is it?"
You asked Jiang Leng.
Jiang Leng paused before saying, "Are Little Yan’s parents both deceased?"
"Yes."
You gently caressed Little Yan’s head and nodded slightly.
Jiang Leng nodded back. "That’s good."
"Huh?"
Jiang Leng’s words made everyone nearby turn to look at him.
Realizing his words might have sounded inappropriate, Jiang Leng added, "What I mean is, with your strength, you will definitely be able to protect her completely."
"Of course," you said with a very firm tone.
On the other hand, Su Xiaomeng got out of the taxi, handed the driver more than thirty Yuan, and then walked toward the residential community where she lived.
Actually, Su Xiaomeng had also indulged herself a bit today because she usually took the subway or the bus. She would only take a taxi in very special circumstances, and just now, she really wasn’t in the mood to tangle with those unfamiliar, smelly men anymore.
The house she rented was built in the nineties. It was a bit old, but the rent was cheap. Of course, "cheap" is relative. The average rent here was around fifteen hundred Yuan a month. Compared to the rent near her workplace, which could easily be three or four thousand Yuan, it was indeed much cheaper.
What she had said to Zhao Han in the restaurant was indeed true.
With a monthly salary of five thousand Yuan, she regularly sent three thousand Yuan home and kept two thousand for herself. Fifteen hundred went to rent, and the remaining five hundred was her monthly spending.
Her family lived in Huizhou’s rural area. It was incredibly difficult for her parents to raise her, and they had even managed to send her to college, an extremely rare feat in their countryside.
Out of gratitude for her parents’ sacrifices, and to allow her siblings to go to school and change their destiny in the big city just like her, she had to work hard. No matter how tough and tiring it was, she could clench her teeth and persist!
The old community no longer had property management. Most residents were longstanding occupants, generally older uncles and aunties who, just like Su Xiaomeng, pinched every penny and wished they could split one Yuan into two to spend.
