Chapter 1020: Xiao Cheng

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ye Qingzi followed behind Qin Shuzhen. Ever since Tong Wan had expressed her displeasure toward Ye Qingzi, she had avoided visiting the Xiao family or appearing before Tong Wan.

Now, Tong Wan acted as if Ye Qingzi didn’t exist. Her attitude toward Qin Shuzhen was equally cold and indifferent. After a brief greeting, she smiled at Ruan Xueling and said, “Xueling, let’s go check out the autumn and winter collection over there.”

“Sure, those clothes look good,” Ruan Xueling replied, also ignoring Qin Shuzhen, as she wasn’t familiar with her.

As Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling left, chatting and laughing, the smile on Qin Shuzhen’s face faded.

Ye Qingzi, feeling slighted, muttered, “Gu Jin’s mother really knows how to win Auntie Tong Wan over. Mom, didn’t you say you were Auntie Tong Wan’s best friend?”

Qin Shuzhen shot her a stern look. “This is all because of you.”

Ye Qingzi lowered her head in silence.

Qin Shuzhen glanced at Tong Wan and sighed, “Ah-Wan has changed since she woke up.”

Meanwhile, as Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling picked out more clothes for her, Gu Yang could only smile helplessly. Unable to persuade them otherwise, she decided to take the initiative and pulled Gu Jin along to pick clothes for Tong Wan and Ruan Xueling.

At one point, Gu Yang headed to the mall’s washroom. When she emerged, she noticed two tall and handsome men entering the men’s washroom.

She noticed the two men not because they were handsome, but because despite their plain clothes, they exuded an unmistakable, unyielding demeanor—like that of soldiers.

Moreover, one of them looked familiar. Could he be that Brother Xiao she had heard about but never met?

She had only seen photos of her two cousins and never met them in person.

Gu Yang also noticed that the man who resembled her cousin, Xiao Cheng, glanced in her direction.

As she pondered this, a fierce voice suddenly echoed from the men’s washroom.

“Don’t come any closer! If you do, I’ll kill him!”

“Get out! All of you, get out, or I’ll take action!”

A small group of people rushed out of the men’s room in a panic.

Gu Yang overheard words like “gun” and “white powder” from them and quickly pieced together what was happening.

Then, the two tall men also retreated from the washroom, each holding a pistol, moving cautiously.

At the same time, they warned the people inside, “Don’t move!”

Seeing Gu Yang still standing by the sink, Xiao Cheng shot her a fierce glare. “Can’t you see it’s dangerous? Get out of here!”

Ye Hanchen, surprised by his comrade’s uncharacteristic behavior, glanced at Gu Yang.

“Oh…”

Gu Yang blinked in surprise and stepped back.

Had she just been scolded by this brother?

As she retreated, she kept an eye on Xiao Cheng’s situation.

The bandits were also retreating. There were two of them. One was a burly man with a faint tattoo peeking out from under his sleeve, exuding a menacing aura.

He was holding a gun to the head of a six- or seven-year-old boy, who was trembling with fear and sobbing uncontrollably.

The accomplice was a middle-aged man with a thin face, who appeared mentally unstable and more frightened than anything else.

He had no weapon or hostage, effectively hiding behind the more dangerous criminal.

Outside, a woman’s desperate cries could be heard. “My son! Save my son!”

It was likely the boy’s mother, anxiously waiting for him to come out of the restroom.
