After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 369 You deserve to die, you'll suffer a terrible death.
At that time, Xiao Xu had no idea that the woman in front of him was a demon.

She was a Young Pioneer at school and her only thought was to help others.

"Okay then." Xiao Xu squeezed her sister's hand and told Ye Lan, "But Auntie, we can only stay with you for a little while. Mom and Dad don't let us play outside for too long."

"Okay." Ye Lan nodded. "You can stay with me for a little while."

Her gaze fell on little Xu's sister. "Your sister is so cute. How old is she?"

Little Xu held up two fingers and said in her childish voice, "I'm three years old!"

"Three years old means three fingers!" Little Xu reminded her younger sister, "Let's start over."

Little Xu slowly loosened one finger again, "Three years old!"

Xiao Xu laughed, revealing a set of unevenly missing teeth: "Yes, Mei Bao is so smart!"

"Yes, that's wonderful." Ye Lan reached out and patted little Xu's head, then took out a few orange candies from her pocket. "You're so cute, how about Auntie treats you to some candy?"

Xiao Xu's family rarely eats snacks, but when a stranger offered her candy, she waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Auntie, we don't eat candy."

"Candy!" the little girl cried out sweetly. "I want candy!"

Ye Lan chuckled and said, "It's alright. You stay here with Auntie and wait for someone. It's only right that Auntie treats you to candy."

"But..." Xiao Xu hesitated.

My little sister is still young, and all she can think about is whether she wants it or not, so she reached out her little hand and grabbed two candies.

"Sister, have some!" Meibao handed the candy to her older sister.

Ye Lan praised, "Little sister is so good, she even knows to give food to her older sister first."

Xiao Xu was also very happy because this was a sign that her younger sister loved her.

“If your older sister doesn’t want it, your younger sister will.” Little Xu peeled off the candy wrapper and held the orange candy to her younger sister’s lips.

Meibao opened her mouth and bit into the orange candy, then held up another unpeeled candy to her older sister's mouth, saying, "Sister, have some candy!"

Ye Lan handed the remaining two candies to Xiao Xu, saying, "Eat them, it's okay."

Eight-year-old Xu ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the candy.

The orange candy is sweet and sour, it's so delicious!

She tasted the orange candy, held her sister's hand, and felt that the weather was very nice that day, with white clouds, bright sunshine, and a cool breeze.

Ye Lan also told them children's stories, which the two sisters listened to very attentively.

The man on the motorcycle reappeared, repeatedly using his eyes to signal Ye Lan to take action.

Xiao Xu felt that this strange uncle was odd and didn't seem like a good person, so he quickly hugged his sister.

Seeing this, Ye Lan asked softly, "Little sister, what's wrong?"

"Auntie," Xiao Xu whispered, "that uncle looks a bit like a bad guy..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, Auntie will protect you." Ye Lan successfully gained the two sisters' trust with a lie.

She pursed her lips, her heart began to race, and turned to give the motorcyclist a look.

Ye Lan took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, "Can I hug my little sister?"

In Xiao Xu and Mei Bao's eyes, the aunt who offered them candy and told them stories must be a good person.

The two sisters exchanged a glance and agreed.

Ye Lan held Mei Bao in her arms, her smile gradually turning stiff. "Mei Bao is so light."

"My little sister is chubby," my little sister said in her childish voice.

"Not fat." Ye Lan carried her around.

Xiao Xu thought she was comforting her younger sister, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Lan picked up her sister and ran away.

"Auntie!" Little Xu chased after her in a panic, "Auntie, don't run away, put my sister down!"

"Little sister!"

"Let my sister go!"

Eight-year-old Xu chased after him with all her might, but she couldn't close the distance. What made her most desperate was that the man on the motorcycle stopped next to Ye Lan. She watched helplessly as Ye Lan, holding her younger sister, got on the motorcycle, kicking up a cloud of dust. Her sister grew smaller and smaller, farther and farther away from her, until she couldn't see her anymore.

Xiao Xu fell to the ground and cried her heart out, but her younger sister would never come back.

She lost her younger sister...

Xiao Xu was too afraid to go home until a passerby recognized her and took her home.

"Ye Lan, give my sister back to me!" Xiao Xu cried her heart out.

Ye Lan stared at her blankly.

"Where did you take Meibao?" Xiao Xu's eyes were filled with suppressed pain as she choked out, "Please, give Meibao back to me, please..."

Jiang Yuan supported her trembling shoulders and called out with heartache, "Xiao Xu."

Xiao Xu threw himself into her arms and burst into tears.

Ye Lan's eyes were a little red, as if this past event had awakened her conscience, which she had lost for many years.

She moved her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry."

She let down the two little girls who cared about her.

"Does 'sorry' do any good?" Jiang Yuan looked at her coldly.

Ye Lan was silent for a moment before saying, "Back then, I had no choice in the matter. I thought about sending Mei Bao back, but that was no longer something I could decide."

"And now?" Xiao Xu wiped away her tears, looking at her with disgust. "Is anyone forcing you to do these things now?"

Ye Lan lowered her eyes. "I have no choice anymore."

"Where is my sister now?" Xiao Xu asked, his hands gripping Jiang Yuan's hands nervously.

Ye Lan glanced at her and shook her head. "I don't know."

"Really don't know?"

Ye Lan shook her head silently.

Back then, she was only responsible for taking the child back; she knew nothing else.

The expectation on Xiao Xu's face faded, and he looked at her expressionlessly. "Ye Lan, you are a demon. You deserve to die, you deserve to die a horrible death."

She looked at Jiang Yuan and whispered, "Yuan Yuan, let's go."

Jiang Yuan led Xiao Xu into the conference room, and Meng Xiaokai and the other two looked at each other and sighed sadly.

Xiao Xu cried until her eyes were swollen, and she took leave early to go home.

Jiang Yuan drove her home, but after leaving, he was worried about Xiao Xu, so he turned the car around and drove back.

She bought some alcohol at the convenience store, arrived at Xiao Xu's door, and rang the doorbell.

"Yuan Yuan?" Xiao Xu opened the door and saw her, asking in surprise, "Why are you back?"

Jiang Yuan waved the beer in her hand and laughed, "Since you've taken the day off, you should be able to drink, right? I'll stay and keep you company tonight."

Xiao Xu stared at her blankly.

"Is that okay?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Of course!" Xiao Xu nodded vigorously and handed Jiang Yuan a pair of slippers.

Xiao Xu lives alone in a rented one-bedroom apartment, which she keeps clean and comfortable.

Jiang Yuan sat down on the sofa and saw her rummaging through the refrigerator as if preparing to cook. She quickly said, "Xiao Xu, don't bother. I've already ordered takeout. Come and sit down."

"Okay." Xiao Xu sat down, then suddenly became a little reserved. "My home is a bit simple."

"No, it's very cozy." Jiang Yuan looked around and said with a smile, "It's very warm and inviting."

"Luckily, I bought a pair of slippers that day," Xiao Xu explained. "No one usually comes over to my house."

She doesn't have many female friends; most of her colleagues are male, and she usually spends her time alone after work.

“Then I’ve come at just the right time.” Jiang Yuan said, noticing several newspapers on the coffee table, with the missing persons section circled in colored pen.
