Chapter 984: Extra Chapter 2: Have You Been Shadowing Us?

Wasn’t she much better off living alone?

Wenxin thought to herself, when they lived together, her mother would always scold her. She had had enough.

Although she knew why her mother became mentally ill, she just didn’t want to be beaten and scolded, she didn’t want to be treated like a dog, even though the person who treated her like this was her own mother.

When Jiang Yeqing heard this, he felt that there was more to it and things weren’t that simple. He probed further, “Mental problem? And you’re letting her live alone?”

“How else.” Wenxin looked very aggrieved. “The money you left behind had already been taken. I didn’t even have the money to get my mother treated. Do you know how we even got through that period? It was only when Qiangzi and the others went to to rob on the streets that we were able to survive. Later on, Qiangzi was locked up and I never saw him again.”

Qiangzi was also a man who had served Mr. Wen for a long time. He was two to three years older than Jiang Yeqing. Mr. Wen had picked him up in the snow grounds when he was just a child and raised him. He was not considered very smart. However, after serving Mr. Wen for a long time, he became especially ruthless.

Jiang Yeqing was not surprised that Qiang Zi would rob for the sake of his benefactor’s wife.

Except that, he didn’t even know that Qiang Zi had been locked up.

Noticing that Jiang Yeqing was deep in thought, Wenxin asked hesitantly, “Brother Jiang, you… seem to be doing well.”

Although the clothes he wore weren’t big brand items, she frequented the malls and was familiar with these brands. They weren’t cheap.

Immediately after, her gaze fell on the watch on Jiang Yeqing’s wrist. “This is Omega, right? Ha, I know this brand. It’s quite expensive.”

Jiang Yeqing subconsciously pulled up his sleeves to cover his watch. Then he slid the menu across to her and said, “Order whatever you feel like eating. After you’re done, take me to your mother.”

“Okay!” Wenxin seemed very happy. “I won’t stand on ceremony then. I haven’t had a proper meal in a long time.”

She flipped open the menu and ordered a few dishes.

Jiang Yeqing did not react to this, but his friend next to him twitched and said, “You certainly know your food. These are all the signature dishes here. They’re all pricey stuff costing at least a three figure sum, especially the foie gras. It comes at a four-figure price.”

Wenxin did not look the least bit guilty. She said, “Isn’t this on my brother? I’ve wanted to eat these for a long time, but never dared to order them because I didn’t have the money.”

“Then how did you find your way here?” Jiang Yeqing’s friend raised his glass and smiled faintly. His gaze was a little sharp and meaningful. “You two haven’t seen each other for so long, and you seem to be quite close. However, I’ve known Old Jiang a long time, but I’ve never heard that he has a sister.”

“Maybe you’re not really that familiar with Brother Jiang.” Wenxin tucked the menu away after she had placed her order. “I’m very important to Brother Jiang. If it weren’t for my father, Brother Jiang would have died long ago. My father is his godfather and also his benefactor. My Grandpa treats him like part of the family, and in fact he is their family heir. However, who are you?”

“Me?” The man took a few sips of his drink and sized up Wenxin. “I went through life and death situations with Old Jiang for a few years. You can just call me Laowu.”

“Oh, Brother Wu.” Wen Xinya smiled and started the conversation.

Except that now, even Lao Wu looked at the girl with contempt and wasn’t too interested in her words. He asked again, “How did you manage to find us? We’ve been in Kang City for a few days and have been eating here for three consecutive days. Have you been shadowing us?”
