Chapter 287: The Old Lady Blocking the Way!
Everyone started despising Xiao Lian one after another.
Xiao Lian hurriedly explained, "You all misunderstood me, I really didn't do it!"
"Huh, if you didn't, what does that car mean? Other than selling your body, what else can you do? Driving the boss's car around?" Azhen spoke indifferently.
"Exactly, that car is the evidence. I can even smell the scent inside the car; it's so filthy. You probably did that thing in the car!" Another person added.
"Anyway, you are too disgraceful!"
"..."
Listening to their mocking and sneering, Xiao Lian felt a chill in her heart.
Usually, everyone lived here together harmoniously and often helped each other.
But.
Why did they suddenly wrong her like this?
It was completely unlike how they usually were together.
"Jealousy."
At this moment, Qin Feng stood behind her, glanced around at the crowd who were all talking at once, and said, "I know you are jealous, but by doing this, you'll lose a friend and gain unnecessary troubles."
"..."
The crowd was immediately silenced.
Azhen, with an embarrassed look, retorted, "You, why do you say we are jealous? Why would I be jealous?"
"Exactly, we don't care about her dirty money!"
"We may be poor, but we have integrity and wouldn't do such disgraceful things!"
"..."
The people started clamoring again.
Qin Feng sighed and said, "Well, I was thinking, for Xiao Lian's sake, about helping you all find good jobs. Since this is the case, forget it then!"
Having said that.
He gently put his arm around Xiao Lian's shoulders and tenderly said, "Dear, let's go! They are not worth your pining."
Xiao Lian paused.
She was smart and knew that Qin Feng was deliberately showing their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, not as boss and subordinate.
This was for her sake.
To shut those people up who thought she was hooking up with the boss.
Sure enough.
The crowd was taken aback at this moment.
If the two were in a romantic relationship, there wasn't much reason to curse her after all.
They could only say she was very lucky, winning over a wealthy man, turning from a Cinderella into an enviable beautiful swan.
Everyone quieted down.
Qin Feng then helped Xiao Lian into the car, saying, "Leave the rest behind, we have everything at home."
After finishing.
He drove the car and left with Xiao Lian.
The crowd looked at each other, feeling uneasy. One of them said, "Did we go too far just now? They are a couple, not what we thought."
"And also, the boss mentioned finding us good jobs…"
"It seems that we shouldn't have scolded her; we missed out on an opportunity!"
"..."
Seeing them entangled, Azhen scoffed, "How naïve are you guys? Xiao Lian looking so destitute, how could a rich man fancy her? Even if someone did, it's probably just for fun, right? Really fancy her? That's absolutely impossible. I guess it won't be a week before that rich man gets bored and kicks her away…"
"Exactly, makes sense. Probably just for fun."
"..."
In the car.
Xiao Lian wiped her tears and said to Qin Feng, "Thank you…"
"You're welcome."
"You also don't need to care about them. Jealousy is inherently human nature and is inevitable. You need to learn how to see through and bear those rumors and slanders. Only by doing so can one strengthen their mindset and truly stand at the pinnacle of the world."
"At that point, those who envy you will start to worship you."
Qin Feng smiled and said.
"Right."
Xiao Lian showed a determined look again and said, "I will definitely work hard!"
Two people were walking back.
The road was very quiet, flanked by hurried jade trees.
It was very comfortable to walk on such a road.
At that moment.
Ahead, an elderly grandma in her sixties was struggling to pull a tricycle across the street, which was fully loaded with firewood, obviously very heavy, blocking the middle of the road.
Qin Feng slowed down his car from a distance.
Seeing this, Xiao Lian unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "Boss, I'll go down and help her push the cart. She's old and can't pull it."
"Wait."
Qin Feng stared intently at the old woman, then a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "No need to go down, just watch her perform."
"Ah?"
Xiao Lian was puzzled.
Qin Feng gave her the impression of being a kind-hearted person. How could he say such a thing?
Then.
Qin Feng turned on the music, assumed a comfortable position, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile, "You sit down too, relax, there will be a surprise later."
Xiao Lian still didn't understand, but she followed his words.
Qin Feng listened to the music while shaking his legs and keeping his eyes on the old grandma pulling the firewood.
After two songs.
He turned his head to Xiao Lian and asked, "Do you see anything wrong?"
"It's been almost ten minutes, and not a single car has passed by."
Xiao Lian said.
"Good, nice observation, anything else?"
Qin Feng asked again.
"Also, that grandma seems to use all her strength to pull forward, but after more than ten minutes, she appears not to have moved at all. It doesn't look like she can't pull it at all." Xiao Lian said.
"Exactly, I didn't say anything, and you've noticed these two things, which already proves you are a conscientious person."
Qin Feng was more and more satisfied with her.
"So what does it mean?"
Xiao Lian was still puzzled.
"Have you seen TV? For example, when you help a passerby, they suddenly pull out a dagger and stab you."
"I see, you're suggesting... that grandma is an assassin from the TV shows?!"
Xiao Lian widened her eyes in astonishment.
"If I am not mistaken, probably."
Qin Feng smiled.
He had noticed earlier how stable the grandma's lower stance was; though she pretended to struggle pulling the tricycle, the unique aura of someone who had undergone martial arts training could not deceive anyone, especially not someone of his level of expertise.
Then.
Qin Feng rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and called to the old lady, "Hey! Are you hot? Tired from all that acting? I feel tired just watching you. Want some water before you continue?"
Sure enough.
As soon as his words fell.
The old woman's eyebrows tightened, she stopped pretending, straightened her stooped body, and turned to look at Qin Feng.
"So, what exactly do you want from me?"
Qin Feng asked.
He could feel that this old woman was not Dragon Slayer Taoist, White Ghost, or Wang Zanggu; they were not seeking him out for a simple reason, as her murderous intent was intense!
"It's you I'm asking."
The old woman stared straight at Qin Feng and said, "Are you Qin Feng, the disciple of Beidou Divine Doctor?"
Startled by her words, Qin Feng responded.
Indeed!
Her purpose was not so simple!
"If I say I'm not, would you believe me?"
Qin Feng also looked her in the eye.
"Heh, it seems this old woman has found the right place, indeed... heaven is helping me..."
A greedy excitement flashed through the old woman's eyes.
Like a wolf!
