Shenhao: I am really not the turtle in the wishing well

Chapter 159

Bashu Province, Rongcheng.

A slightly old community, with simple low-rise brick-concrete buildings everywhere.

The criss-crossing streets are a bit narrow, but people come and go bustling, full of the atmosphere of the city. Vegetable stalls, fruit shops, grocery stores, and snack shops such as Dandan noodles and Long Chao Shou can be seen everywhere.

Most of the people living here are familiar old neighbors. In addition to playing mahjong, they like to gather in groups to chat and spread gossip.

Suddenly, these community intelligence stations stopped talking and turned their eyes to a beautiful figure who walked into this building complex.

A delicate milky white dress of a brand they didn't recognize, with black and smooth straight hair falling behind the elegant and straight neck. Under the skirt, the slender and straight white calves took elegant and light steps, and a pair of open-toed high-heeled sandals on the feet, with beautiful and small feet.

Although these people don't know the brand of the skirt, they still know the bag on the girl's slender arm. The LV letters printed on it are so eye-catching.

Corresponding to her slender figure is a cold and beautiful face of abstinence. Behind the delicate gold-rimmed glasses, her clear eyes are like mirrors, which transmit a sense of alienation. Her nose is high and her lips are tightly pursed.

This is a beautiful girl who is out of tune with the surrounding environment and admires herself.

"Is that Xie Xiaoyan's daughter?"

"Yes, this is Xu Youying, who is studying in Beidu. My son said she is a good student."

"Just being good at studying is a thing of the past. My daughter said that she seems to be doing well in Beidu now. She posted luxurious photos on her Moments!"

"Look at her bag and you can tell she is rich. Do you think she will do that like her mother?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! My child said that she seems to have a handsome and rich boyfriend! She is so envious."

"This is considered to be a phoenix flying up the tree. I still remember how miserable they were before. No wonder your daughter is envious and jealous."

Xu Youying turned a deaf ear to the intermittent discussions that drifted in the wind, and did not greet these old neighbors who were obviously very common but had hardly spoken to each other.

She just walked towards a remote building in the community without stopping.

Just as she approached a unit in a building, a middle-aged woman with a seemingly kind face but gloomy eyes suddenly came out.

Xu Youying glanced and recognized her, a cousin of her mother.

Unfortunately, they were only related by blood, but had no feelings. Even though they lived in the next building, they had never visited each other once.

After a brief look, Xu Youying seemed to see a stranger, and calmly moved away, ready to pass her and move on.

"That... are you Youying?"

Her steps stopped. Although there was no emotion, there was no conflict. People took the initiative to say hello, and Xu Youying felt that there was no need to pretend to ignore it.

It was just... very strange.

According to her understanding, this family was extremely selfish and petty, and even in the community, they did not have a good reputation. They were a family that everyone kept away from.

Now, they actually took the initiative to say hello to her?

Xu Youying looked at her calmly, nodded, but did not speak.

"It's really Youying. I told your mother about you the other day. Everyone says that you are very promising now and will be able to settle down in Beidu in the future."

"What's wrong?"

Xu Youying was not moved at all and asked calmly.

The middle-aged woman's face froze. She wanted to get angry, but she held back.

"Well, I heard from your mother that Youying also studied law. I have something to consult with you. You are knowledgeable in Beidu. Please give us some advice."

Xu Youying nodded. In addition to her major in administrative management, she also took a minor in law as a double degree, and also has a second major in accounting.

This is why she is called a top student in dormitory 511.

The middle-aged woman saw that she agreed and hurriedly said:

"My daughter is your distant cousin. Do you still remember her?

"She stayed in Beidu to work after finishing school, but recently she got angry with us because of some things and lost contact.

"That's my own flesh and blood. Your cousin's husband and I were worried about her safety, so we went to Beidu to look for her. But your cousin changed her job, changed her address, and deleted her phone number.

"We can only contact her through WeChat, but she clearly said she didn't want to see us.

"We couldn't find her anywhere, so we called the police in Beidu and asked them to help us find her.

"But they said that your cousin was an adult and chose to avoid seeing her when her life was not in danger. This was a personal act.

"We had to come back, but I was really worried about her. She couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep. You are a top student and you know the law., can you help my aunt think of a solution? "

Xu Youying was silent. She didn't have a deep impression of this distant cousin who was three or four years younger than her. She seemed to have lived in the school since junior high school and rarely came back.

I haven't seen her for many years, and the only thing I remember is her long legs.

I seem to have heard my mother say that her relationship with my aunt was a little tense, but I don't know the details.

Xu Youying didn't want to get involved in her family's affairs, and what else could she do.

"Besides calling the police, I have no other way. The police will not take the initiative to look for someone who voluntarily chooses to run away from home, unless you can prove that she is in danger. "

After saying this casually, Xu Youying did not stop and continued to walk forward.

The middle-aged woman did not care about her departure. She seemed to have thought of something and stood there with a flickering look in her eyes.

Xu Youying came all the way to the remote building near the inside, climbed up to the third floor along the somewhat broken cement stairs, and then knocked on the familiar security door.

Soon, slightly messy and anxious footsteps were heard, the door was opened, and a woman in her forties who looked 50% similar to Xu Youying appeared at the door.

"My baby Youying!"

Xu Youying threw away the disguise of being cold and aloof, plunged into the woman's arms, and whispered softly:

"Mom, I miss you so much. "

After a while, the mother and daughter sat in the living room.

Xu Youying looked at the hand-woven bamboo products scattered on the floor, and then looked at her mother's old and haggard face and her hands with bandages, and her nose felt a little sour.

"Mom, I told you not to work so hard, why didn't you listen?"

She said with some complaints.

"Well, I'm idle at home anyway, so I'll do some work and earn a little."

"We are all adults and can support ourselves in Beidu. I don't need you to pay for tuition and so on, so don't tire yourself out, okay?"

"Yeah, I know Youying is the best, she studies well, and she gets scholarships every year. Plus working during the holidays, she earns much more than mom.

"I didn't spend a penny in college, and I even transferred money to mom to spend... Mom is sorry for you."

Looking at her mother who began to blame herself again, Xu Youying sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

"By the way, Youying. I heard from those kids that you have a boyfriend?"
