Chapter 206 Fatty Jiang Xiaoran
Chapter 206 Fatty Jiang Xiaoran
Immediately afterwards, the half-finished project in the east of the city was sold at half price, and Zhao Xiaoya successfully obtained 12 million. However, when Jiang Ming called every day to urge her, she said that she had not yet found a buyer.
Zhao Xiaoya left Jiang Xiaoran at home every day. When she was hungry, she could only eat junk food and drink beverages when she was thirsty. In just two weeks, she gained ten pounds.
Furthermore, they developed a dependence on carbonated drinks.
That day, when Zhao Xiaoya returned home, she found the living room littered with trash. Jiang Xiaoran was sitting on the sofa with a remote control in her hand. She was stunned when she saw Zhao Xiaoya rushing towards her as she entered the room.
"I want a drink!"
Jiang Xiaoran's physical changes were obvious, and Zhao Xiaoya looked at her in surprise: "How did you get so fat?"
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that not only had she gained weight, but her complexion was also rough, unlike that of a six-year-old. Acne had started appearing on the face of such a young child, and when she opened her mouth, Zhao Xiaoya noticed that she had lost several teeth.
"I'm thirsty! Go buy me a drink right away."
Because she's afraid of the police coming to her door, Zhao Xiaoya now locks the door whenever she leaves, leaving Jiang Xiaoran unable to go out and feeling like a trapped little wild animal stuck at home.
"You're thirsty, drink water. You can't drink any more beverages."
When Zhao Xiaoya realized that Jiang Xiaoran's weight gain was due to drinking large amounts of carbonated drinks, she stopped her from drinking them.
"I won't drink water, I'll just drink a beverage!"
Jiang Xiaoran became irritable. She was already spoiled and lawless, and now she was even more fearless and started yelling. When she saw that Zhao Xiaoya wouldn't buy it for her, she started hitting her with her fists.
"Ranran! You can't drink beverages anymore, you need to drink water. Look at you, you've become so fat."
When Jiang Xiaoran heard Zhao Xiaoya call her chubby, she got angry and started punching her until she got tired. Then she picked up a water glass from the table and threw it at Zhao Xiaoya.
"boom!"
The water glass fell to the ground and broke.
Zhao Xiaoya was furious when she saw this. She grabbed her clothes and shook her, saying, "What are you doing? I work myself to the bone every day to earn money so that you can live a good life. And you still don't listen to me at home and cause trouble. It's driving me crazy!"
As he spoke, he grabbed her and slapped her buttocks a few times.
Jiang Xiaoran just wanted a drink, and shouted, "I just want a drink! If you don't buy it for me, I'm calling the police right now!"
Hearing that the police were calling, Zhao Xiaoya got scared and looked at her daughter: "Okay! You stay on the sofa and behave yourself. I'll go buy a drink."
Before leaving, Zhao Xiaoya didn't forget to sweep up the broken glass shards; she couldn't afford any more mistakes now.
Jiang Xiaoran told her that the police came four times yesterday. Each time they knocked on the door, she hid under the peephole and didn't say a word when she saw that it was the police.
After Zhao Xiaoya returned, she always wore a large mask when she came back, for fear of being seen by Liu Yan or other neighbors.
Fortunately, Liu Yan's mother has been sick these past few days and hasn't returned. Even if the other neighbors see her, they pretend not to. They're trying to stay as far away from the Jiang family's affairs as possible. Ever since Zhang Dalan came here, she's been a master of staged accidents.
When Zhao Xiaoya finished getting ready, put on her mask and hat, and was about to go downstairs to buy Jiang Xiaoran a drink, the police came up the stairs.
"Why is Zhao Xiaoya never home? I think I should ask the neighbors this time."
One policeman said to the other.
"Didn't we ask last time? The neighbor said they didn't know."
"We need to be patient. Perhaps the neighbors don't want to get involved in their family's affairs, or they are afraid to."
A moment of silence was followed by footsteps going upstairs.
"Someone reported that Zhao Xiaoya appeared in a mirage. Should we send someone to keep an eye on her there?" The voice grew closer.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya did not go downstairs but went straight up to the third floor, where she hid and held her breath to listen for the police knocking on the door.
"Is anyone home? Open the door!"
After a loud knocking sounded on the door, the police shouted.
Jiang Xiaoran, who had been making a fuss, took off her shoes when she heard the noise and came over to look at people through the peephole.
It was fine if I hadn't looked, but when I did, I was shocked. Just then, the police were also looking through the peephole.
Jiang Xiaoran, who was standing on a stool, fell to the ground with a thud. There were broken pieces of glass that Zhao Xiaoya hadn't cleaned up by the door, and she stepped right on them.
Feeling the stinging pain, Jiang Xiaoran burst into tears.
When she looked down and saw that her foot had been cut by broken glass and blood was gushing out, she cried even harder.
Hearing the crying from inside, the police immediately urged, "Jiang Xiaoran, right? Open the door quickly, we're here to rescue you."
Jiang Xiaoran didn't want to open the door, but her feet hurt a lot, so she opened the security door while crying.
Zhao Xiaoya, who was hiding on the third floor, saw all of this. She had only one thought in her mind: "It's over!"
Continuing to observe, Zhao Xiaoya saw the police enter the room and carry Jiang Xiaoran, whose feet were covered in blood, out. She then went upstairs and eventually reached the rooftop, where she hid and made a phone call to Zhou Dali.
"Little wildcat, did you miss me?"
Zhao Xiaoya didn't have time to flirt with Zhou Dali. She said anxiously, "Ali, hurry up and find me a scapegoat. Just say that my daughter was found because her adoptive mother, Song Qiao, sold her, and I found her on the way back."
Hearing no response from the other end, Zhao Xiaoya immediately added, "Don't worry, I'll cover the one million yuan kickback."
Zhou Dali wasn't stupid. Participating in human trafficking could land him in jail, and in serious cases, he could be executed. This wasn't about helping her sell an apartment.
"Okay! Let me ask, is anyone willing to do it for a million?"
After ending her call with Zhou Dali, Zhao Xiaoya went to the edge of the rooftop and watched as the police carried Jiang Xiaoran into the police car before she felt relieved.
Hiding won't help, so Zhao Xiaoya decided to go to the hospital. As long as she could find a witness to prove that Jiang Xiaoran was someone she had found on the way back, and Song Qiao's charge of selling her adopted daughter would be established, her goal would be achieved.
She had always resented Song Qiao's good fortune. Not only was her family wealthy, but she also married the man Zhao Xiaoya loved, making her a mistress for so many years.
Regarding her current marriage, she no longer felt so conflicted. Jiang Ming was a complete waste, utterly worthless. He was no different from a stray dog now, and having nothing to offer, he had become a pawn she had discarded.
She wanted to leave with the money and the child before he returned.
Zhao Xiaoya knew that Zhou Dali couldn't let him see through her act, otherwise he wouldn't have let her leave.
"These stinking men deserve to die!" Zhao Xiaoya was cursing when Zhou Dali turned on the phone. By then, Zhao Xiaoya, who was hiding on the rooftop, was already numb from the cold.
"Little wildcat, I've already found someone for you."
When Zhao Xiaoya heard that the person had been found, she asked for his number, and the two arranged to meet at Taihe Garden, where she would personally transfer the money to him.
The person on the other end responded, and the two ended the call.
At the hospital, Jiang Xiaoran's foot was bandaged. The doctor looked up at the chubby girl and asked, "Little girl, do you especially love drinking carbonated drinks?"
Since this was a hospital, Zhao Xiaoya nodded.
