Chapter 263: Chapter 263 They Compensate the Money

Chiang Xiao heard Meng Xinian’s words and was momentarily stunned, but she quickly regained her composure.

For a fleeting second, there seemed to be a slight discomfort in her heart, but it was just that—a fleeting sensation. She didn’t dwell on it.

It was only normal for Meng Xinian to think that way, after all, she was only thirteen. Could she really expect a grown man to fall in love with her?

However, just as he said, she should treat it as their second collaboration.

Last time they acted together to deal with those brutal criminals, and this time they would play their parts again to handle the people from the Old Chiang Family.

No problem.

At that moment, outside, Cong Weimin nudged Yao Cong with his elbow and teased, "Ah Cong, have you listened enough? How much longer are we going to stand here and eavesdrop?"

Yao Cong’s lips curled up, and he walked in.

"Uncle, Chiang Xiao."

"Yong Cong Brother?" Chiang Xiao turned towards him, her eyes lighting up.

She had seen Yao Cong when he arrived, but she hadn’t had the chance to talk to him. However, she was still preoccupied with the fate of Wan Niu and his gang, hardly able to wait to ask Yao Cong about it.

"I’m sorry, Chiang Xiao, just now it wasn’t convenient for me to step in and help you," Yao Cong said apologetically to the girl standing before him.

The people in Siyang Village tried not to provoke Ho Laidi if possible, especially those single young men who hadn’t married yet. If Ho Laidi truly made trouble, they would all suffer.

Chiang Xiao understood this well, so she didn’t blame him. Besides, there was no special relationship between them. It was perfectly normal for Yao Cong not to intervene, and she had no right to blame him.

Now Chiang Xiao didn’t want Chiang Songhai and the others to hear about how the militia dealt with Wan Niu’s lazy bunch, nor did she want Meng Xinian to hear it. So, she grabbed Yao Cong’s arm and hurriedly said, "Grandpa and Grandma, I’ll go out to have a few words with Yong Cong Brother. Please entertain Captain Meng!"

After saying that, she pulled Yao Cong and ran outside.

Meng Xinian watched their retreating backs, his deep eyes narrowing slightly.

Calling him "Yong Cong Brother?" And calling him Captain Meng?

She personally dragged that young man out to talk, yet she left her grandparents to entertain him?

Entertain...

Kitty, burning bridges after crossing the river isn’t supposed to look like this!

Captain Meng was in a bad mood.

Chiang Xiao had no idea that a certain bully had marked her for "resentment" again. She dragged Yao Cong into the garden, eyes sparkling as she looked at him and asked, "Yong Cong Brother, what happened to Wan Niu and his group?"

Yao Cong looked into her eyes; those large eyes clearly brimming with expectation and excitement, looking so bright and spirited.

He couldn’t help but laugh, lowering his voice and said, "You know, we’re not gentle in our approach. Don’t worry, Wan Niu and his lot probably won’t be able to get out of bed for three to five days, and on top of that, they’ll be locked up in the militia building for ten days. Once they get out, they’ll definitely not dare to bother you again."

Chiang Xiao grinned widely.

She had guessed right!

Yao Cong and the others wouldn’t let Wan Niu and his gang off easy!

With those people around, the village’s public order was troubled, and the militia had long wanted to deal with them. This time, taking advantage of the situation, they would surely give them a beating.

Her heart was relieved.

Yao Cong reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of banknotes, handing it to her.

"Here, this is the compensation I got for you, for medical expenses. It’s collected from Wan Niu and his gang."

Chiang Xiao’s eyes widened as she looked at him.

Yao Cong, softened by her gaze, laughed, "Go on, take it. It’s all legit."
