Chapter 459 Someone is trying to drug the Qiao family's child

"Okay, thank you, Qiaoqiao." Xiang Xianglan took it, put it in her mouth, and immediately shivered from the sour taste.

However, because of this tremor, she also became much more sober.

She looked up and then towards the noisy doorway, where she heard a woman crying. Because the woman's voice wasn't in Mandarin, Xiang Xianglan couldn't understand it.

But unable to resist his curiosity, he got up and continued walking towards the door.

Fu Yu, Pei Yiyang, and Qiao Qiao didn't catch up.

One continued peeling loquats, one continued feeding, and one continued eating; their teamwork was exceptionally seamless.

One of the first two is uninterested in anything other than Qiao Qiao, and the other is a germaphobe who doesn't like to be close to others.

The latter was simply relying on his divine sense, which he could directly access, and was too lazy to move his little bottom.

The person who came to make trouble at the new house was none other than Yang Juan, who should have been recuperating in the hospital.

Neither Qiao Changdong nor Yan Liti personally handled Yang Juan's case; instead, they sent their lawyers directly to deal with it.

The compensation offered was four hundred yuan.

Given Yang Juan's injuries, this amount of money is already quite substantial. It's fair to say that Yan Liti and Qiao Changdong are essentially paying money to buy peace and quiet.

However, when Yang Juan learned that Yan Liti and Qiao Changdong wanted to compensate her with money instead of giving her a job as a nanny in the Qiao family as she had requested, she refused the money.

He became even more unhappy after seeing that they refused to even show their faces after he was hospitalized.

After the lawyer delivered the money today, he sneaked out of the hospital when no one was paying attention and started causing a scene in front of the Qiao family's new house.

They wanted to escalate the situation and force the Qiao family to agree to their demands.

Before Yang Juan arrived, she was determined to achieve her goal and wanted to have a good talk with the Qiao family to persuade them with reason.

When she arrived at the Qiao family's house, they wouldn't even let her in the door.

Yang Juan was furious and started wailing at the door. She didn't throw a tantrum, though, because she was educated and wouldn't do something like lying on the ground and making a scene.

She just cried, kept crying.

At first, it was fake crying, but later it became real crying, and the more she cried, the more pitiful she felt.

She was the only college student in their village, and countless men came to her door to propose marriage. Even the wealthy pockmarked man from the next town spent nearly two thousand yuan to marry her.

Last time, she lowered herself to show interest in Qiao Changdong, but Yan Liti looked down on her and dismissed her.

Why can't they even grant her request to come and work as a nanny this time?!

She's the only college student in their village!

They look down on her for being Qiao Qiao's stepmother. Does that mean she's not even qualified to be a nanny?

This is outrageous!

Thinking of this, Yang Juan felt extremely wronged, and tears streamed down her face.

It was as if the Qiao family had done something terribly wrong to her.

She looked at the workers who had gathered around her, and cried as she spoke, trying to gain their sympathy and get them to speak on her behalf so that the Joe family would agree to her demands.

"I don't have any other unreasonable demands. As a college student, am I not even allowed to be a nanny for the Qiao family?"

“You hit me. I can’t tell if there will be any aftereffects right now, but there’s no guarantee what will happen in the future… I’m looking for a job as a caregiver to secure my future. That’s not an unreasonable request, is it?”

It's noon now, the hottest time of day, and most of the workers have stopped working and are taking a nap in their makeshift shacks.

Startled by Yang Juan's wailing, they all got up and gathered around, watching her make a scene.

The workers had a very good impression of the Qiao family. Qiao Changdong paid high wages, provided them with a particularly good meal every day, and would occasionally bring them a couple of bottles of wine and a pack of cigarettes.

So when these workers heard Yang Juan's accusations, they just watched the spectacle from a distance without stepping forward to chime in or join the conversation.

Yang Juan cried until her voice was hoarse, and she kept mentioning her desire to become a nanny in the Qiao family.

But not a single person among the onlookers spoke up for her.

The Qiao family members blocking the entrance to the courtyard did not react at all, and just stared at her coldly.

Yang Juan felt like a clown performing in a grand opera, and she was filled with resentment.

At this moment, Xiang Xianglan squeezed out from the group of Qiao family members at the gate and saw Yang Juan standing in front of the Qiao family courtyard, crying and sobbing.

Yang Juan covered her face with one hand, so Xiang Xianglan couldn't see her face clearly.

But those red eyes seemed vaguely familiar to her, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, she walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Yang Juan.

While everyone else moved away from Yang Juan, who was crying in the middle, she leaned over, craning her neck and tilting her head left and right to examine her face, as if studying something.

Yang Juan was crying so hard when suddenly a face came close to hers, startling her.

Especially when this person came close to her, tilting his head left and right to look her over, and even tried to grab her hand at one point, Xiang Xianglan felt strange and took two steps back.

She glared at Xiang Xianglan: "Who are you? What are you doing?!"

Yang Juan glared at Xiang Xianglan with a fierce look on her face, but she was secretly on guard. How could such a young woman have run out of the Qiao family's courtyard?

Yang Juan removed her hand from her face, and Xiang Xianglan finally got a clear look at her face.

After confirming that she hadn't mistaken the person for someone else, Xiang Xianglan's expression changed.

The Qiao family surrounded the doorway, preventing Yang Juan from entering and ignoring her, because they were waiting for Meng Zhengcheng to bring people to handle the situation.

Xiang Xianglan found Yan Liti and pulled her in another direction. Once they were away from the crowd, she lowered her voice and asked, "Aunt Yan, who is this person? Do you know him?"

Yan Liti was very annoyed at the moment. She had never seen such a shameless person as Yang Juan. She didn't know how there could be such a big difference between people's brains.

However annoyed she was, Yan Liti did not take out her anger on others.

She was about to answer Xiang Xianglan, but Xiang Xianglan didn't wait for her reply and started talking again, her tone very serious.

"Aunt Yan, I've seen this person before. She's not a good person. I suggest you call the police immediately and have her arrested!"

"???" Yan Liti looked at her in confusion.

Xiang Xianglan, however, thought that Yan Liti did not believe her and became a little anxious.

“Really, Aunt Yan, I’m not lying to you.”

“I met this woman when I came here by train. She was talking to a man behind a door next to the toilet. I overheard them.”

"The man gave the woman a packet of medicine and told her to drug a child. He promised her a large sum of money if she succeeded!"
