Chapter 974: Nipping The Problem In The Bud (4)
Mo Beihan had sent money to his uncle several times.
Chen Qingqing lowered her head. “Actually… actually when we first left, we considered what to do if we were desperate. We knew you were in the capital and Yuan Yuan’s family is also in the capital. That was why we decided to come to the capital after we left that place.
“We did look for Uncle Jiang to find out Aunt Jiang’s address. But we’re all grown up now. We can’t always be asking you for help.”
She and her older brother had Zhong Bingyuan in tow too. Of course they had asked about Jiang Yingqiu’s address. That way, they could find Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao. Since they had been living in the capital for so many years, they might even know Zhong Bingyuan’s family.
But they were too embarrassed to look them up unless absolutely necessary. Neither had they expected to take so long to reach the capital.
Once they reached the capital, they wanted to look for Jiang Yingqiu. But their family was just too poor. If Gu Qingyao and the others knew, they would have certainly helped them. But she and her brother wanted to settle in first. When they had figured out their livelihoods, they would look for Gu Qingyao and find out about Zhong Bingyuan’s parents.
They had not expected all these things to happen soon after their arrival.
Chen Qingqing wept as she said, “We didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. Yuan Yuan and I are still minors. Even though that Wang Ming is very aggressive, we thought he would not do anything to us. But my brother and I sensed that the odds were against us, so we were going to ask Aunt Jiang for help soon. We did not expect Wang Ming and his family to forcibly take Yuan Yuan.”
Gu Qingyao had helped the siblings many times when they were young. But they were still children and were determined to repay Older Sister Gu when they grew up.
Now they had grown up and could support themselves. They were too embarrassed to look for Gu Qingyao now.
When they saw the signs of trouble, they thought they had better look for the Gu family! Or something might really happen. But they had only just made the decision when this happened. They had not even had the chance to look up the Gu family.
This was the capital, the seat of the Emperor. Chen Qingqing had not expected the Wang family to be so bold.
They were just ordinary people. They lived in a little bungalow and rented out some other houses. Chen Qingqing and Chen Feng were poor, but they had gotten to know many rich people during their time in the capital. They knew that the Wang family was not powerful. They were just ordinary people with a little more money. They had not expected these people to be so bold.
It was fortunate that they had met Gu Qingyao today. Otherwise, Chen Qingqing and Chen Feng would have been in terrible trouble.
Gu Qingyao sighed inwardly. She knew that the siblings were grateful. They were just too embarrassed to look her up, which was why this had happened.
“All right, don’t cry. Everything is fine now. Yuan Yuan will be fine after she recuperates. As for Wang Ming, we will settle it for you. No need to worry about them.
“Do you know who Yuan Yuan’s parents are?”
Chen Qingqing shook her head. “I don’t know. Yuan Yuan was just nine years old when we first met her. At that time, people were chasing us, so we were focused on getting away. We did not have time to talk too much.
“I only know that her name is Zhong Bingyuan and her family lives in the capital. We did not have time to say anything else. While we were running away, she fell and injured her head and forgot her past. She hasn’t been able to remember anything over the past few years.”
A girl of nine should be able to remember her past. Once she cured her, they would know who she was.
