CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 365: STUBBORNNESS

Lin Xiaoyan sat alone, holding a piece of paper and pen, writing something quickly.

Nan Xi walked over to take a look, and when she saw the contents, her face immediately turned unusually serious and angry.

Xiao Bo noticed Sister Nan’s expression, he curiously walked over, stretching his head to see what Xiao Yan was writing.

"This... This is... huh?" Really?

Before Xiao Bo could finish speaking, Nan Xi swiftly covered his mouth.

When he saw Sister Nan’s warning glance, he quickly indicated that he understood.

Nan Xi released her hand and walked out expressionlessly to the sink outside to wash her hands.

Xiao Bo tightly closed his mouth; he almost made a mistake just now.

However... his gaze returned once more to what Xiao Yan was writing, was this really true?

If it was true, then damn it!!!

He Qi’an also noticed over here and walked over.

Lin Xiaoyan had just finished writing down everything she had "seen" in those scenes.

He Qi’an took the paper his girlfriend handed over, looking at it seriously with his head down.

The more he looked, the darker and colder He Qi’an’s expression became, emitting a chilling aura.

After finishing, he looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who nodded expressionlessly.

He Qi’an looked at the contents on the paper again, took a deep breath and said, "I’ll make a call!"

Nan Xi returned, "Do you need me to contact that side?"

He Qi’an thought for a moment, nodded, "Contact!"

Both Nan Xi and He Qi’an went out to make calls.

Over here, the boss lady was still persistently persuading Xiao Nuan, yet Xiao Nuan’s face remained stubborn, showing no sign of wavering when the boss lady mentioned a raise.

"Ah! Ah ah..."

Xiao Nuan quickly gestured, saying she had already contacted the person who introduced the job and confirmed it was true.

Moreover, that person had sent her videos of the factories, and she had seen them.

Seeing Xiao Nuan still determined to leave the mountain, He Qi’an looked at the boss lady, signaling her to stop persuading.

When Xiao Nuan saw that the boss lady had finally stopped, she glanced at the policeman and, seeing that he did not stop her, decisively carried her backpack down the mountain.

Xiao Bo came over, watching the stubborn yet slightly pitiful figure leave, he turned to Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi’an, asking, "Are we really not going to do anything about her?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at him without speaking.

He Qi’an withdrew his gaze, "It’s her own choice."

Nan Xi: "Some people, no matter how others persuade them, won’t listen. Only after they hit their head will they know who truly cares for them."

The boss lady beside them looked worried, "Sigh, she’s really a stubborn mule! I’ve talked so much that my mouth is dry, yet she still wants to leave!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the boss lady, "Boss lady, where is this girl’s home? Doesn’t she have any other family?"

The boss lady sighed, slowly said, "This child is also pitiful. When she was two years old, it seems due to an illness, she couldn’t speak any longer.

Then her parents abandoned her at the welfare center’s entrance, and she grew up in the welfare center.

Last year, when I went to donate to the welfare center, the director let her come to work at my place."

Lin Xiaoyan: "How old is she this year?"

Boss Lady: "Sixteen years old."

The boss lady seemed to remember something, glanced at He Qi’an beside her, quickly said, "Well, because Xiao Nuan has already graduated from the school for the deaf and mute.

We are not illegally employing child labor. Our area allows children from welfare centers to work."

He Qi’an understood the boss lady’s meaning, he nodded, "I understand, boss lady, you are helping these children."

Boss Lady: "Exactly, many children from the welfare center have come to me. When they just get out of the welfare center, sometimes they can’t find a job, so they come to me.

Then if they find a better job, they can leave.

It’s just that Xiao Nuan’s situation is somewhat special; I always felt the person introducing her to work was reliable..."

Boss lady became more worried, "No, I have to inform the director, in case something happens, I can’t be blamed!"

Boss lady appeared to be a fiery type, announcing she was going to call and already dialing the number on the other hand.

While the boss lady was calling, Lin Xiaoyan looked outside and saw that Xiao Nuan was no longer in sight.

He Qi’an walked beside her, softly said, "You play in the mountains with Sister Nan and the others, I’ll go down the mountain and follow that girl."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up at him, "I’ll go with you, here..."

She glanced at the vast mountain in front of her, murmured, "We can come to play anytime, the most important thing is that girl."

He Qi’an looked at Lin Xiaoyan, seeing her determined attitude, said, "Then let’s go down the mountain?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Alright."

She turned to Nan Xi and Xiao Bo behind her, "Let’s go down the mountain."

Nan Xi and Xiao Bo agreed.

While the boss lady was still communicating with the director, Lin Xiaoyan and the three others drove down the mountain.

Before long, they saw the girl walking alone, step by step, down the mountain with her backpack.

Lin Xiaoyan had already explained the scene she saw just now to them.

Seeing the girl again, her gaze was filled with heartache.

He Qi’an: "Stop the car and give her a ride down."

Xiao Bo parked the car, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the girl, gently said, "We’re heading down the mountain, hop in, we’ll give you a lift."

Xiao Nuan looked at Lin Xiaoyan, then at the luxury car in front of her, took two steps back in self-abasement, shook her head and gestured.

However, Lin Xiaoyan and the others couldn’t understand.

The girl thought for a moment, then took out her phone to type, showing Lin Xiaoyan.

"No need, thank you sister, I can walk down myself."

Lin Xiaoyan: "It’s quite far to the bottom, if you go by yourself, it might take you about an hour."

"Really no need, I often take this road, really, thank you very much."

Seeing the girl persist, Lin Xiaoyan stopped persuading and simply said, "Then be careful on the road, and if anything happens, dial the police number first thing, okay?"

The girl nodded, her face revealing a smile.

The car drove away, Xiao Nuan watched the car grow smaller, eyes flashing with envy.

She thought that in her lifetime, she’d never get to sit in a car like that.

Xiao Nuan reined in her thoughts and kept walking down.

This road, she indeed walked often, and at her pace, she got to the bottom in about forty minutes.

At the bottom, there was a bus parked by the roadside, which left every day at 3:30 PM.

Just as Xiao Nuan arrived, it was exactly 3:30 PM; seeing the bus seemed to be starting up, she quickly waved and ran over.

Luckily, the driver saw her, waited until she got on, then drove off.

Sitting in the bus, Xiao Nuan opened her phone, tapping on a person named "Qing Ni," and sent them a message, telling them she had boarded the bus.

Soon, that person replied, sending her a location and telling her to go there.

He was now arranging her accommodation, saying after a health check the next morning, she’d be directly assigned to a dormitory.

Seeing these messages, Xiao Nuan’s face relaxed into a smile, feeling that since this person was also a student from her school, they shouldn’t be bad.
