"I know this kid is entirely to blame for what happened this time."
"but-"
Mr. Zhou smiled bitterly, "What can we do?"
"He is my son."
"Xiaoxiao, for Grandpa Zhou's sake, can you help him?"
The old man's eyes were full of earnestness and prayer.
…
"Grandpa Zhou, how are you sure I can help him?"
The old man's persistence made Xiao Xiao a little confused.
Or is the old man really so "desperate" that he would plead so hard to anyone who might be able to help his son?
...
"You helped Lao Mu's son."
According to his understanding, "The trouble that child Xiaomu encountered was very similar to the trouble that my son is encountering now."
"Xiaomu can't pay, so the other party wants Laomu's Gumuxuan."
"Now that my son can't pay, the other party wants my son to be hospitalized."
"A very similar situation, isn't it?"
It was because of the extremely high similarity between the two things that he had great expectations for Xiao Xiao, and he directly found Xiao Xiao's school without waiting for Lao Xiao's answer.
"Since you can help Lao Mu's son solve the trouble, then..."
Mr. Zhou looked at Xiao Xiao seriously, "You should be able to help my son solve his trouble."
"Isn't it?"
"Their experiences are so similar..."
Xiao Xiao's silence made the old man more and more anxious, and his words became a little incoherent.
"...Xiaoxiao, please help Grandpa Zhou."
"Help Grandpa Zhou's son."
"please."
...
"Chi~"
The little white fox half-opened his eyes and glanced at the old man, then lazily closed his eyes again.
The atmosphere around me is quite cold.
Xiao Xiao reached out and touched the little white fox's head.
Then he raised his eyes to meet the old man's earnest gaze. He slowly shook his head, "I'm sorry."
The old man was stunned, "...hug, sorry?"
"What's the meaning?"
Of course the old man knew what Xiao Xiao meant.
It's just that he doesn't believe it and doesn't want to believe it.
He even came to the door in person...
Why......
"Why... you are willing to help Lao Mumu and his family, but you are not willing to help our family?"
There was a hint of sharpness in Mr. Zhou's voice, "You obviously have this ability, don't you?"
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "Grandpa Zhou-"
"You should know almost everything about Mu Tansong."
"Then, you must have seen the difference between the two things."
"Mu Tansong's situation at that time was different from Zhou Mingbao's."
"He was tricked."
"And your son set a trap for someone else."
"The accusations made by the other party against your son are not groundless."
...
Mr. Zhou's face turned ugly for a moment.
He smiled unnaturally, "Xiaoxiao, let's not talk about these things for now."
"I will educate that boy."
"The most important thing now is to solve the multiple-choice questions given by the other party."
Compensation of 12 million, or the "culprit" lying in the hospital for several months.
He couldn't do the first option.
He didn't want the second option.
…
"Xiaoxiao."
The old man subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab the hand of the young man in front of him, and then -
"Ouch~"
The old man cried out in pain.
Mr. Zhou touched the back of his hand with a look of surprise and doubt on his face.
What happened just now?
His hand seemed to have been hit by something?
But the other party moved too fast and he didn't see it clearly.
When he came to his senses and wanted to take a closer look, he found nothing.
…
Xiao Xiao gently rubbed the little white fox's head.
The old man didn't see clearly, but he saw clearly.
"Feel sorry."
"ah?"
Xiao Xiao's apology again left the old man a little confused.
"Ah Jiu's tail hit you just now."
"Ajiu?"
The unfamiliar name made the old man even more confused.
"This fox."
Xiao Xiao touched the little white fox's head again, "It doesn't like strangers getting too close to it."
But just now the veteran's hand almost touched the little white fox.
"oh oh."
The old man suddenly realized, with a careless smile on his face, "It's okay, it's okay."
"It just hurts a little bit."
"Nothing happens now."
The old man looked at the back of his hand and found not even a red mark.
However, he was too preoccupied with his son's affairs to take a closer look at the little white fox. Now when he looked at it, the old man's face showed a bit of surprise, "Xiaoxiao, you fox is so beautiful."
"Isn't it expensive?"
Xiaoxiao smiled and did not answer.
The old man took it as his acquiescence.
He wanted to get closer and take a closer look at the little white fox, but he saw that the little white fox's eyes were slightly raised, and the slight rose red reflected a blurred but sharp light. The old man's eyes hurt slightly. When he came back to his senses,
He has already distanced himself from the little white fox.
He was a little confused, but inexplicably frightened in his heart.
Mr. Zhou stretched out his hand to caress his heart, feeling the accelerated heartbeat in his chest. His expression became a little stiff, "Xiao Xiao..." The old man tugged at the corner of his mouth with some effort, "You fox...
It’s really vicious.”
"It's more afraid of strangers."
Xiao Xiao smiled apologetically, "Sorry, did I scare you, Grandpa Zhou?"
"it's okay no problem."
Mr. Zhou waved his hand, his expression slowly returned to his natural state,
But he never tried to get close to the little white fox again.
Now is not the time to watch the fox.
...
"Xiaoxiao."
The old man clasped his hands and stared straight at the young man in front of him, "There is no time."
"The one-week deadline given by the other party expires tomorrow."
That's why he hurried over today and stayed downstairs in the boys' dormitory.
"Grandpa Zhou really has no choice."
In the past few days, he had tried every means possible, trying every person and relationship he could find.
But it's no use.
This bastard.
He couldn't help but cursed secretly in his mind.
He was too embarrassed to tell anyone the reason why that kid's accident happened.
If you are vague, people will think that you are here to ask for help, so why are you so secretive? There is no sincerity at all.
If he told the truth, people would think that this kid deserved what he deserved, and they wouldn't be very willing to help.
Mr. Zhou was really stressed out during this period, and several of his hairs turned gray.
…
"It was not easy for me to meet someone I could talk to through some connections."
Mr. Zhou's face was full of bitterness, "I was really happy at the time."
"I thought this matter could finally be resolved."
"did not expect……"
The old man sighed deeply.
"Do you know what the other party bought that wooden screen for?"
"...as a gift?"
Xiao Xiao was thoughtful.
If it's useless to ask someone to put in a good word, either the person telling you the truth is not important enough, or... the buyer is even more angry about this matter than others think.
Compared with buying fake goods myself, naturally not only did I buy fake goods, but I also gave them to others without knowing it, and others discovered that they were fakes...
