Chapter 271: My wallet got stolen!

After returning to the country, Old Lady Xi had visited the Nei Family Mansion to chat with Old Lady Nei. When their conversation was getting exciting, she had accidentally mentioned her worries about her future granddaughter-in-law. She was afraid that her grandson would be deceived, but she was even more worried about her own relationship with her grandson. She did not want her to reveal anything inappropriate carelessly.

Old Lady Nei had grandchildren and even great-grandchildren who were all grown up. There was nothing for her to be unhappy about. She liked listening to her old friend’s problems and helping her solve them.

Old Lady Nei immediately gave Old Lady Xi a suggestion when she heard this. She told her to test Qin Yan by pretending to be a penniless old woman who was trying to get home after losing her wallet. She gave Old Lady Xi free acting lessons to help her because she was worried that she could not act convincingly and told her driver, Lil Fan, to take her to the Xi Family Mansion every day so that she could give Old Lady Xi acting lessons.

Old Lady Xi was unable to play any other character aside from the role of a lost old woman now. She was truly convincing when she acted.

When Old Lady Xi turned around, she immediately saw Qin Yan walking outside. The old woman stopped Qin Yan on the side of the road and grabbed her arm. She acted as though she was so panicked that she was nearly crying, "Young lady, please help me. Please help me. I’m not a scammer. My... My family is rich! Someone stole my wallet, but I don’t know where they went. I can’t go home now."

"Don’t you have a cell phone? You should contact your family so that they can come and get you," said Qin Yan.

"It was inside my bag as well," said Old Lady Xi as she gestured, "The bag was this size. It contained my money and my cell phone. A young man on a motorcycle snatched it and fled. I don’t remember my family member’s phone numbers because I’m too old! I don’t have any money with me now. I’ve walked for some time, but I can’t walk anymore. Nobody is willing to lend me even just one yuan!"

Qin Yan pondered before she said, "Why don’t I accompany you to the police station for now? You can make a police report."

Even if the old woman did not know the way back, at least the police could send her home.

Old Lady Xi covered her face and cried. She thought to herself that her granddaughter-in-law was certainly smart. This young woman would not be tricked under normal circumstances.

"I’m an old woman with a bad memory. I can’t remember what that young man looked like and I don’t know the number of his license plate. I don’t even know the different types of motorcycle brands so I won’t be able to recognize it. I fell on the ground when he suddenly snatched my bag and that frightened me terribly. How would I be able to remember so many things? A police report... A police report would be useless! Now I... I just want to go home as soon as possible. Oh no, oh no... I just want to go home..."

The passersby’s gazes drifted over when Old Lady Xi started crying.

Nobody was willing to help her when she wanted to borrow some money because they assumed that she was a scammer, but now they were looking at Qin Yan with judgemental gazes when the old woman cried in front of her. They felt that a young person like Qin Yan was supposed to be sympathetic toward the old woman and wondered if Qin Yan was bullying the elderly lady for some reason.

There were several troublemakers who took out their cell phones to take videos as well.

Qin Yan ignored them and simply kept her eyes on the old woman. The old woman looked rather energetic from the way she was dressed. Her short hair was dyed black, and it was even curled in a fashionable style. Judging from her face, she appeared to be about sixty years old. She also carried herself well. Qin Yan was truly unable to tell her actual age.

Although she could not tell if the old woman was wearing expensive clothes, Qin Yan noticed that she was decently dressed and was clearly very particular about the clothes she wore.

Old Lady Xi was following Old Lady Nei’s instructions.

Old Lady Nei had said, "You’ll truly look like a distressed elderly woman if you wear extremely simple clothes. However, anyone who has a brain will definitely think that you’re out to cheat them out of their money. Do you think that there are any kind people who would willingly choose to be deceived because of their generosity? Would you help someone when you clearly knew that they were going to cheat you?"

Old Lady Xi shook her head firmly back and forth then.

Old Lady Nei continued, "You don’t have to dress extravagantly, but you must look clear-headed and lively. That way, other people will know that you live a good life and that your family background is fine as well. They’ll believe that you actually lost your wallet. That girl is definitely a good person if she helps you. On the contrary, you should actually consider your potential granddaughter-in-law if she’s reluctant to lend you a hand."

Old Lady Xi felt that this advice was reasonable when she heard it. She immediately said, "It’s true that old ladies like us always have the most wicked ideas!"

Old Lady Nei was speechless.

She would not argue with this simple-minded woman.

That was how they came up with their current scheme.

Old Lady Xi praised her own acting skills as she cried. When she looked through the space between her fingers, she ended up seeing someone who was driving a Bentley Mulsanne behind Qin Yan. The car slowly stopped before Yan Jingheng got down from it.

He was briefly shocked when he saw Old Lady Xi crying there. He was just about to go over and ask her what was going on.

Old Lady Xi panicked. She would be exposed if Yan Jingheng came over.

While Qin Yan was distracted, Old Lady Xi peeked through the space between her fingers. Yan Jingheng noticed that there were no tears in her eyes when she glared at him. "Don’t come over!"

Yan Jingheng stopped in his tracks, and his lips moved. Finally, he turned around and entered the campus of Beijing University. He pretended that he did not see the two women.

Only then did Old Lady Xi let her guard down and uncovered her eyes completely.

Yan Jingheng scanned his surroundings once he had entered the university campus. He took his cell phone out and called Xi Ting, "I saw your Old Lady acting like a big bad wolf to scare Qin Yan."

Xi Ting was stunned for a moment. However, Yan Jingheng was too lazy to explain any further. His previous sentence was already long enough. He ended the call abruptly.

Xi Ting was stunned when the other party hung up suddenly.

Qin Yan truly did not think that the old woman was a scammer when she considered her style of dressing, bearing, and the way she carried herself. Nonetheless, she could have been a scammer who was highly skilled in acting.

Nevertheless, Qin Yan still consoled her by saying, "Don’t cry, there’s no need to worry. Can you tell me where you live?"

"Oh." The old lady sniffled and took the piece of tissue paper that Qin Yan had passed to her. She put on an act as she lowered her head and wiped off the few drops of tears and snot that she had forced out. She simply held the tissue paper because she did not know where to discard it. The trash can was several meters away. What would she do if Qin Yan ran away when she walked there?

Qin Yan noticed that this old woman was not shabbily dressed. She was also concerned about the environment as she refused to litter. Qin Yan was more convinced that she was not a scammer. She took a plastic bag out of her bag, "You can throw it here."

Old Lady Xi threw the tissue that was stained with snot and tears into the bag. She did not forget to compliment Qin Yan, "Young lady, you’re so considerate."

She meant what she had said.

Qin Yan smiled, "Why don’t you tell me where you live?"

It seemed as though the elderly woman had forgotten her address. She pondered for several moments as Qin Yan waited patiently without rushing her.

Old Lady Xi sighed and patted her thigh furiously when she felt as though she had put on enough of an act, "Look at my mind now. People like me often forget things because we’re old. My family noted down my address on my cell phone because they were worried that my memory has worsened."
