Chapter 3
“Little girl, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying so sadly? Are you in trouble? Do you need help?”
Jiang Jingzhu, who was crying sadly, was interrupted by an old and gentle voice.
She raised her eyes, which were already red and swollen from crying, and looked at the person who came.
In front of me was an old lady in plain clothes, with a relatively younger woman supporting her. She was bending over and looking at me. I guess the question came from the old lady.
Jiang Jingzhu was caught crying for no reason, feeling a little embarrassed. She stood up with a red face, wiping her tears. However, because she had been squatting for too long, the blood in her legs was not circulating, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
“Be careful!”
Fortunately, the woman next to the old lady was quick to step forward and support Jiang Jingzhu. Only after making sure that she could stand on her own did she let go and return to the old lady.
Seeing that Jiang Jingzhu did not fall, the old lady put down her hand that was stroking her chest, and only then did she have time to look at the little girl’s appearance.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look. After taking a look, the old lady came forward in surprise, grabbed Jiang Jingzhu’s hand and said hurriedly, “Little girl, I finally see you again. Last time you saved me, an old woman, and you disappeared before I had a chance to say thank you to you. I didn’t expect to meet you here today.”
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Jingzhu’s puzzled look and directly pulled her away, “Come on, come on, since we met today, let’s go to grandma’s house and have a meal.”
While pulling Jiang Jingzhu forward, he turned back and told the woman beside him, “Sister Wang, make more delicious food today and stew some nourishing soup. The little girl looks so thin, she needs more nourishment.”
Seeing the old lady who had asked her to support her now walking briskly with Jiang Jingzhu, Wang Sao reluctantly followed the old lady’s footsteps and echoed her words, “Yes, yes, I’ll listen to you. I’ll have someone stew the tonic when I get back.”
I’ve heard the old lady mention this before. The last time she went out to visit a friend, she didn’t bring anyone with her, and she almost got into trouble.
At that time, she was hit by a motorcyclist. Although it was not serious, she was old after all, so she fell to the ground and could not get up. There was no one around at the time, and the rider was also a young man. He ran away for fear of getting into trouble.
The old lady’s cry for help attracted some people, but because there was no surveillance around, no one dared to step forward to help. The old lady’s dress was no different from that of ordinary people, and everyone was afraid of being scammed or blackmailed.
Finally, a little girl called the emergency number and helped the old lady up. At this time, the old lady also saw the appearance of the little girl who helped her.
Seeing that the old lady’s legs were injured and she couldn’t stand, the little girl turned around and carried her on her back. She didn’t have much strength, but luckily the old lady wasn’t fat, otherwise she might not be able to carry her.
When the people around saw the little girl going up to help, some kindhearted people even advised her, “Little girl, I think you should just leave her alone. Who knows if your kindness will be rewarded? It would be bad if something happens to her and she blackmails you.”
“Yes, yes, there are many such things nowadays. Even if she doesn’t blackmail you, what can you do if her family members blame you?”
Listening to the people around her telling the little girl not to meddle in other people’s business, the little girl just smiled and thanked them for their kindness. “If that’s the case, then I’m unlucky, but I can’t bear to see a good life disappear in front of me.”
She carried the old lady to the intersection step by step with difficulty. During the process, the old lady asked her name and said she wanted to repay her, but she was rejected.
When the ambulance arrived, she handed the old lady over to the paramedics and said she was just helping and not a family member before leaving. In fact, she was not afraid, but she just couldn’t bear to see the old lady lose her life.
After arriving at the hospital, the old lady contacted her grandson and told him about the incident, and asked him to find her savior.
But Beijing is so big that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find an unknown person. In addition, that area is a blind spot for surveillance, and the surveillance cameras on the road only captured the back of the person. This makes it even more difficult to find the person.
Since then, the old lady often talked about the girl’s righteousness, saving people and doing good deeds without leaving a name. If it weren’t for her, she might have passed away. After talking about it so much, Wang Sao also felt that the girl was really good, and thought that if the young master could find her, he would have to repay her well.
Now that we finally met in person, the old lady had given instructions, so naturally we had to treat him well.
Only when he sat down in the living room of the Huo family’s old house did Jiang Jingzhu finally understand what was going on.
It turned out that the old lady he had helped out of kindness last time was actually Mrs. Huo, one of the top wealthy families in Beijing, and Huo Xiao, the head of the Huo family, the richest family in the country, was her grandson.
If the Chu family is a wealthy family and the Chen family is a first-class wealthy family, then the Huo family is a top-level wealthy family. However, after the previous generation of leaders of the Huo family died, only Huo Xiao and Mrs. Huo were left to depend on each other.
They have always been very low-key, so there are only introductions to their identities on the Internet, but not a single photo.
She didn’t know these things before, but when she found out about the identity of her biological father and her secret crush, she started paying more attention to these things.
Jiang Jingzhu, who was sitting on the sofa at this time, was a little at a loss as to what to do with the juice handed to her by Wang Sao. With her status, if she hadn’t helped Mrs. Huo by accident, she wouldn’t even be able to sit here, let alone get to know people of their level.
It was obvious that Jiang Jingzhu felt awkward after learning her identity. Old Mrs. Huo took her hand and kindly asked the same questions she had asked when they first met, trying to divert her attention.
“Jingzhu, why did you cry so sadly before? Is there something wrong? Do you mind telling grandma?”
When Jiang Jingzhu heard Mrs. Huo ask her why she was crying, her originally awkward mind was immediately diverted.
Looking at the old man in front of her who was looking at her with concern, she immediately thought that perhaps with the family background of this old man, he might really be able to help her save her mother.
So Jiang Jingzhu got up from the sofa, knelt in front of Mrs. Huo, and cried while kowtowing, saying, “Grandma Huo, please help me, please help me save my mother! She is the only relative I have left, and I don’t want to lose her…”
Mrs. Huo was stunned by the girl crying and kneeling, and she didn’t bother to pull her up immediately. Mrs. Wang, who heard the noise, came over and saw Jiang Jingzhu kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and crying. She immediately exclaimed and pulled her up.
“Miss Jiang, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Why are you kneeling down? Look, our old lady is frightened by you.”
