Chapter 1011 - 1024: Feeling a Bit Sorry
Similarly, after Shen Bin’s sentencing, he will not serve his time like an ordinary criminal. He will be held by the Guard Team until the entire drug trafficking ring is caught, then be formally imprisoned.According to regulations, during this period, Shen Bin is not allowed to see anyone.
However, An Ran had previously promised Shen Qi to give her a chance to see her brother.
On the other side, Lin Junyang left the Guard Team and headed straight to Pingxi.
The two-hour drive from Nan’an to Pingxi took Lin Junyang less than an hour and a half.
Following the address given by An Ran, Lin Junyang stopped in front of an old residential building, where a few women were picking vegetables at the entrance. Seeing a luxury car parked in front of the building, they looked over curiously.
When a handsome young man got out of the car, the gossiping light in their eyes became even more intense.
Lin Junyang did not enter the building but stood in front to observe the old residential building.
Perhaps because it was too old, the outer walls of the building were weathered and each household’s window was indistinct. The iron guard rails outside the window were rusted, making it hard to imagine Xiao Xiao grew up in a place like this.
That girl once said she had no father growing up, and her mother raised her alone. Now, thinking about it, he feels a bit sorry for the girl.
The few women watched Lin Junyang just stand in front of the building with no intention of going upstairs and couldn’t help but inquire.
"Young man, are you here looking for someone?"
Lin Junyang averted his gaze and nodded.
One woman saw Lin Junyang respond and her face lit up with delight, "Who are you looking for? I’ve lived here for decades, I know everyone in the building, but right now, those who work are at work, those who don’t are out having fun, and only some elderly folks are home looking after children."
"I’m looking for Xiao Xiao. Is she home?" Lin Junyang casually said, his eyes again shifting to the direction of the third floor, where a pink dress was hanging on the balcony, the one he bought for Xiao Xiao the day she was hospitalized.
"Oh, the Xiao family girl. You’ve come at an unfortunate time, she’s just gone out, probably to the hospital to see her mother," the woman said and probed further, "Are you her boyfriend?"
"Then I’ll go look for her at the hospital, thanks, Auntie." Lin Junyang didn’t answer the woman’s question, he got back into the car.
Although her mother said she didn’t need Xiao Xiao’s help at the hospital anymore, staying home was boring. Today her mother had the early shift, finishing work at two in the afternoon, and Xiao Xiao thought she could go shopping with her mother. She’s been back for almost a month but still hasn’t enjoyed some mother-daughter time.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the hospital’s pediatric ward, she heard some aunties in the cleaning room whispering about pooling money.
Xiao Xiao frequently went to the hospital, and knew these aunties quite well. After pushing the door open, not seeing her mother, she asked.
"Aunt Zhang, where’s my mom?"
Everyone looked over when they heard. Aunt Zhang saw it was Xiao Xiao and quickly pulled her over, closing the door.
"Xiao Xiao, you’re just in time. Your mom accidentally knocked over a child’s bottle earlier over there. That family won’t let it go, demanding compensation. We’re discussing pooling money. I’ve heard it’s an imported bottle, costing over three thousand. None of us have that kind of money with us. Could you find a way to have someone send you some money?"
Aunt Zhang had an urgent look on her face, holding a few hundred-yuan bills in her hand.
