Chapter 263: Chapter 263 They Compensate the Money Chapter 263: Chapter 263 They Compensate the Money Chiang Xiao heard Meng Xinianâs 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 thatâa fleeting sensation. She didnât 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, âAh Cong, have you listened enough? How much longer are we going to stand here and eavesdrop?â
Yao Congâs lips curled up, and he walked in.
âUncle, Chiang Xiao.â
âYong Cong Brother?â Chiang Xiao turned towards him, her eyes lighting up.
She had seen Yao Cong when he arrived, but she hadnât 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.
âIâm sorry, Chiang Xiao, just now it wasnât convenient for me to step in and help you,â 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 hadnât married yet. If Ho Laidi truly made trouble, they would all suffer.
Chiang Xiao understood this well, so she didnât 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 didnât want Chiang Songhai and the others to hear about how the militia dealt with Wan Niuâs lazy bunch, nor did she want Meng Xinian to hear it. So, she grabbed Yao Congâs arm and hurriedly said, âGrandpa and Grandma, Iâll go out to have a few words with Yong Cong Brother. Please entertain Captain Meng!â
After saying that, she pulled Yao Cong and ran outside.
Meng Xinian watched their retreating backs, his deep eyes narrowing slightly.
Calling him âYong Cong Brother?â And calling him Captain Meng?
She personally dragged that young man out to talk, yet she left her grandparents to entertain him?
EntertainâŠ
Kitty, burning bridges after crossing the river isnât 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 âresentmentâ again. She dragged Yao Cong into the garden, eyes sparkling as she looked at him and asked, âYong Cong Brother, what happened to Wan Niu and his group?â
Yao Cong looked into her eyes; those large eyes clearly brimming with expectation and excitement, looking so bright and spirited.
He couldnât help but laugh, lowering his voice and said, âYou know, weâre not gentle in our approach. Donât worry, Wan Niu and his lot probably wonât be able to get out of bed for three to five days, and on top of that, theyâll be locked up in the militia building for ten days. Once they get out, theyâll definitely not dare to bother you again.â
Chiang Xiao grinned widely.
She had guessed right!
Yao Cong and the others wouldnât let Wan Niu and his gang off easy!
With those people around, the villageâs 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.
âHere, this is the compensation I got for you, for medical expenses. Itâs collected from Wan Niu and his gang.â
Chiang Xiaoâs eyes widened as she looked at him.
Yao Cong, softened by her gaze, laughed, âGo on, take it. Itâs all legit.â
