Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Hao pulled Li Anran home.
As soon as the door closed, he flung his hand and said angrily, “Look at you, look at you. What did you say just now?”
“Little Ye is already good enough to us. Why are you still asking him to take care of our kid?”
“Fortunately, it’s Little Ye. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get this medicine. It’s so chaotic outside. Let alone Little Ye, even I don’t dare to go out now! Who knows if they would see a human or a monster when they opened the door?! You took Little Ye’s medicine and made demands!”
Li Anran entered the house and sat by the bed with the child in her arms without saying a word.
Zhao Hao was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet, but he could not say anything harsh. He saw that Li Anran had already opened the medicine and scooped some out with a spoon to feed Little Treasure, then she unbuttoned her shirt and began to breastfeed Little Treasure. Only then did Zhao Hao’s expression ease a little.
Li Anran was very smart. She did not argue with Zhao Hao. She gently patted Little Treasure’s back and said softly, “Didn’t I do that for Little Treasure? You also know that Little Treasure and 1 have relied on each other for so long. If anything happens to Little Treasure, I won’t be able to live anymore…”
As she spoke, a few drops of tears flowed down her cheeks. Li Anran looked at Zhao Hao with an aggrieved expression.
Zhao Hao let out a long sigh. He walked to the bed and wrapped the mother and daughter in a thick blanket. His heart softened.
“Sigh, I understand what you mean, but you can’t…Sigh, one must know how to repay kindness.”
Recalling how Ye Xingchen had helped him three times, Zhao Hao slapped his thigh fiercely. “If it weren’t for Little Ye, 1 wouldn’t have realized that the stock in my house was almost finished, and 1 wouldn’t have thought of replenishing it. It was also Little Ye who reminded me to bring back so much food. All of this is thanks to Little Ye. If it weren’t for Little Ye’s advice to me, I’m afraid 1 wouldn’t have lived until now.”
But at this moment, Li Anran’s voice came faintly. “Actually, 1 don’t think you need to be so grateful to Ye Xingchen.”
“Think about it. You went to buy those things yourself. If he didn’t remind you, you would have bought them sooner or later.”
“As for those things that we took from Zhang Yi’s house, ha, you know that they were taken from Zhang Yi’s house. They aren’t Ye Xingchen’s things, so what’s there to thank him for?”
“Besides, didn’t you hear what he meant just now? You’re treating him like a benefactor here, but he didn’t even let you in. He’s guarding against us like we’re thieves.”
Zhao Hao was stunned and started to get angry again. “What nonsense are you talking about!”
Li Anran looked aggrieved. “Isn’t that so? He wasn’t even willing to open the door just now. Who would treat guests like this? He didn’t even invite us in to sit and have a cup of tea or something…”
“Moreover, he threw the medicine down from upstairs. He didn’t even show his face. Isn’t he guarding against us like thieves?”
Li Anran pouted. “He even said that many people wanted to rob his house and take his life. What he meant was that he was pointing at us and scolding us.” “What nonsense are you spouting?!” Zhao Hao was furious. “What’s the use of his kindness to you?!”
Li Anran calmly adjusted her sitting position and continued. “I’m not talking nonsense. 1 just feel that it’s true that he helped you, but he didn’t take out anything valuable. Look at this medicine, it’s not worth much.”
“You’re so honest. Perhaps Ye Xingchen just wants to give you some small favor and take advantage of you in the future.”
Li Anran glared at Zhao Hao. “Don’t be so stupid. He gave you a few worthless pills and you risked your life to be a tool for others. I think Ye Xingchen might have seen so many people trying to snatch his things. Now, he’s deliberately giving you a small benefit so that he can rely on you to deal with those people for him in the future.”
“How is he a good person? If he was a good person, would he have killed so many neighbors? I’ve seen many of them talk about Ye Xingchen’s methods. Oh my, he’s really vicious!”
“In my opinion, unless he lets us live in his house, I don’t believe he has any good intentions.”
“Besides, his house is as high as seven stories. It’s such a big house. It’s such a waste for only two people to live in it. His house is so big. It doesn’t matter if the three of us moved in. Why can’t we…”
“Enough!”
Before Li Anran could finish, a loud shout interrupted her.
Zhao Hao’s face was as red as a pig’s liver. He glared at Li Anran, giving Li Anran, who was feeding her child, a fright.
Little Treasure’s mouth suddenly became empty, so the baby waved her limbs in Li Anran’s arms and cried loudly.
Li Anran hurriedly started feeding Little Treasure again and gently patted her back. “Look at you. Why are you so fierce? You scared Little Treasure to tears. Sigh, don’t be angry with me. I’m doing this for your own good. You’re too honest.”
Zhao Hao glanced at Li Anran coldly. “Don’t say such things again in the future. 1 don’t like to hear it!”
“He, Ye Xingchen, is someone who has done me a favor. If I were to question and second-guess him as you did just now, would I still be human?!”
“Take care of Little Treasure, I’ll go cook!”
Zhao Hao snorted and dashed into the kitchen.
Although he was honest and straightforward, he was not a fool, nor was he a fool who could not distinguish between good and bad!
Of course, Zhao Hao knew that Ye Xingchen must have a motive for helping him. However, in all fairness, Ye Xingchen was not related to him at all. At this time, it was already very difficult for Ye Xingchen. However, Ye Xingchen specially sent a message so that he could store more food. This kindness was already great enough!
There was no kindness in the world. Zhao Hao had been a security guard for more than ten years and had long understood this truth. His thirty-plus years had not been lived in vain. Ye Xingchen was a resident of the community, and Zhao Hao was just a security guard. Ye Xingchen had no obligation to help him.
Li Anran knew that Zhao Hao was really angry this time, so she obediently shut her mouth.
However, even though she shut her mouth, she still remembered Ye Xingchen’s home.
She had seen Lin Sijia before, who was just an ordinary woman. She had never seen Lin Sijia dress up before. When she went out and saw Lin Sijia dressed without any femininity, Li Anran did not feel that she was inferior to Lin Sijia.
Even though she had already given birth, Li Anran was still young, and her figure had recovered very well. She also paid attention to her skincare on a daily basis. Li Anran even felt that she was more attractive than Lin Sijia.
She thought about it in her heart. She thought that the reason why Ye Xingchen rejected her was probably because Zhao Hao was standing beside her, so Ye Xingchen couldn’t agree.
Li Anran looked down at Little Treasure in her arms and pursed her lips. She secretly made up her mind.
No matter what method she used, she had to live better!
