Chapter 365 Stubborn
Lin Xiaoyan sat alone to the side, holding paper and pen, quickly writing something.

Nancy went over and took a look. When she saw what was inside, her expression immediately turned extremely serious and angry.

Xiao Bo noticed Nan Jie's expression, and he curiously walked over, craning his neck to see what Xiao Yan had written.

"This...this is...uh?" Really?

Before Xiao Bo could finish speaking, Nancy swiftly covered his mouth.

When he saw Sister Nan's warning look, he quickly said he understood.

Nancy released his hand, walked out expressionlessly, and went to the sink outside to wash her hands.

Xiao Bo kept his mouth shut; he had almost made a mistake.

However… his gaze returned to what Xiaoyan was writing. Was this true?

If it's true, then that's absolutely outrageous!

He Qi'an noticed this as well and walked over.

Lin Xiaoyan happened to write down the contents of the scenes she had just "seen".

He Qi'an took the paper his girlfriend handed him and looked down at it intently.

The more he looked, the colder He Qi'an's expression became, and he exuded a chilling aura.

After reading it, he looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who nodded expressionlessly.

He Qi'an looked at the contents of the paper again, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll make the call!"

Nancy returned. "Should I contact them over there?"

He Qi'an thought for a moment and nodded, "Contact them!"

Nanxi and He Qi'an both went outside to make phone calls.

The landlady was still trying to persuade Xiaonuan, but Xiaonuan remained stubborn and showed no sign of softening when the landlady mentioned raising wages.

"Ah! Ahh..."

Xiao Nuan gestured quickly, saying that she had already contacted the person who introduced the job and confirmed that it was true.

Moreover, that person also sent her those videos of the factory, which she had watched.

Seeing that Xiao Nuan still insisted on going down the mountain, He Qi'an looked at the proprietress and gestured for her not to try to persuade her anymore.

Seeing that the landlady had finally stopped trying to persuade her, Xiao Nuan glanced at the police officer and, noticing that he wasn't stopping her, resolutely shouldered her backpack and headed down the mountain.

Xiao Bo walked over, looking at the stubborn yet somewhat pitiful figure from behind. He then looked at Lin Xiaoyan and He Qi'an and asked, "Are you really not going to do anything about her?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at him but didn't say anything.

He Qi'an withdrew his gaze. "It was her own choice."

Nancy: "Some people won't listen to any advice; they only realize who's good to them after they've hit a wall."

The proprietress standing nearby looked worried. "Sigh, what a stubborn mule! I've talked her until my throat is dry, and she still wants to leave!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the proprietress and asked, "Proprietress, where does this girl live? Doesn't she have any other family?"

The proprietress sighed and said slowly, "This child is also a pitiful person. When she was two years old, it seems that she couldn't speak because of an illness."

Then her parents abandoned her at the gate of the orphanage, and she grew up there.

Last year, when I went to the welfare home to donate things, the director offered her a job here.

Lin Xiaoyan: "How old is she this year?"

The proprietress said, "She's sixteen."

The proprietress seemed to have thought of something, glanced at He Qi'an beside her, and quickly said, "Well, it's because Xiao Nuan has already graduated from the school for the deaf and mute."

We're not illegally using child labor; our local regulations allow children from welfare homes to work.

He Qi'an understood what the proprietress meant, and he nodded, "I understand, proprietress, you are helping these children."

The proprietress said, "That's right. Many children from orphanages have come here. They've just come out of the orphanages, and sometimes they can't find work, so they come here. Later, when they find better jobs, they can leave."

"But Xiaonuan's situation is a bit special, and I always feel that the person who introduced her to the job is reliable..."

The proprietress grew increasingly worried as she spoke, "No, I have to tell the director, so that if anything goes wrong, I won't be blamed!"

The proprietress clearly has a very energetic personality; she was saying she was going to make a phone call, and the call had already been dialed.

The landlady was on the phone. Lin Xiaoyan glanced outside and saw that Xiao Nuan was no longer there.

He Qi'an walked beside her and said in a low voice, "You play in the mountains with Sister Nan and the others, I'll go down the mountain and follow that girl."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up at him, "I'll stay with you, here..."

She looked at the mountains in front of her and murmured, "I can come to visit anytime, but the most important thing is that girl."

He Qi'an glanced at Lin Xiaoyan and, seeing her resolute attitude, said, "Then shall we go down the mountain?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Okay."

She looked at Nancy and Xiao Bo behind her and said, "Let's go down the mountain."

Nancy and Xiao Bo agreed.

While the landlady was still communicating with the dean, Lin Xiaoyan and her three companions drove down the mountain.

Before long, they saw a girl carrying a bag on her back, walking down the mountain step by step.

Lin Xiaoyan had already told them what she had just seen.

When she saw the girl again, her eyes were filled with heartache.

He Qi'an: "Stop the car and take her down the mountain."

Xiao Bo stopped the car, and Lin Xiaoyan looked at the girl and said gently, "We're going down the mountain. Get in and we'll give you a ride down."

Xiao Nuan looked at Lin Xiaoyan, then at the luxury car in front of her. Feeling inferior, she took two steps back, shook her head, and gestured with her hands.

However, Lin Xiaoyan and the others couldn't understand it.

The girl thought for a moment, then took out her phone, typed something, and showed it to Lin Xiaoyan.

"No need, thank you, sister. I can go down the mountain by myself."

Lin Xiaoyan: "It's quite far from the foot of the mountain. If you go down by yourself, it will probably take an hour."

"Really, it's not necessary. I walk this road often. Thank you so much."

Seeing that the girl insisted, Lin Xiaoyan stopped trying to persuade her. She could only say, "Then be careful on your journey. If anything happens, call the police immediately, okay?"

The girl nodded, a smile spreading across her face.

As the car drove away, Xiao Nuan watched it disappear into the distance, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She will never be able to ride in that kind of car in her entire life.

Xiao Nuan snapped out of her thoughts and continued walking down the mountain.

She did indeed walk this road often; she was a fast walker and reached the foot of the mountain in about forty minutes.

There are buses parked by the roadside at the foot of the mountain, and they depart every day at 3:30.

When Xiao Nuan got off, it was exactly 3:30. She saw that the bus seemed to be starting, so she quickly waved and ran over.

Fortunately, the driver saw her and waited for her to get into the car before driving away.

Sitting on the bus, Xiao Nuan looked down and opened the contact's name, "Qing Ni," to send him a message, telling him that she had boarded the bus.

Soon, the person sent her a message with a location, telling her to just go there.

He's arranging accommodation for her now, and she can be assigned a dormitory after her medical check-up tomorrow morning.

Upon seeing these messages, Xiao Nuan smiled with relief. She figured that since this person was also a student at their school, he probably wasn't a bad person.
