Chapter 171: Chapter 174: True Feelings are Revealed during Hardship_1

Xue Lei hesitated slightly before sighing, "Meng Qi was perfectly fine, but two years ago, she suddenly disappeared. Sister Lian searched for her for a long time but couldn’t find her. Recently, the police accidentally found Meng Qi while solving a child trafficking case. But when Meng Qi reappeared two years later, she was delirious. She didn’t recognize Aunt Lian, didn’t recognize any of her friends or family, she was extremely sensitive and extremely repellent to people. Even now, Sister Lian can’t get close to her. As soon as anyone approaches, she screams and even throws rocks."

Xue Lei paused, pulled Xuexue over, suddenly lifted Xuexue’s back of the clothes, pointing at the bruise on her back: "This is what happened when Xuexue went to visit Meng Qi and Meng Qi hit her with a rock."

Xuexue, with her bare back exposed to Yang Gang, blushed fiercely, pulled down her clothes, and complained: "Mum, how can you lift your daughter’s clothes in front of a man! Really!"

Xue Lei was surprised and then laughed, "You little girl, you’re just in the first year of junior high school, still a child, what are you being shy about?"

Xuexue pouted in protest: "Mum, I’m not a kid anymore!"

Xue Lei, eyeing her daughter’s prematurely developed chest, laughed: "Just because your breasts have grown, doesn’t make you an adult. At most, you are a child with a /tremendous bust."

"Mum!" Xuexue’s face blushed like an apple. She stomped her feet: "I’m ignoring you!"

Then she ran back to the old faded house.

Yang Gang watched Xuexue run away and felt a bit envious. For someone who had never experienced a mother’s love, family was something sacred.

He gathered his emotions and smiled: "You guys have a really good mother-daughter relationship."

Xue Lei smiled: "We are mother and daughter, dependent on each other. How could our relationship not be good?"

"Er..." Yang Gang hesitated before saying: "What about her dad?"

"Who knows where he has gone to." Xue Lei said casually.

"Er..."

Xue Lei pondered for a moment, then said, "Meng Qi’s condition has caused Sister Lian great pain. She consulted with mental health experts, who suggested that Meng Qi might have suffered a great trauma during her disappearance, causing her to go crazy. To treat her, a large amount of money is needed. Sister Lian sold everything valuable in the house and worked desperately to save money for Meng Qi’s treatment. However, when they had saved enough money and went to see the doctor a few days ago, the doctor couldn’t find any root cause of her illness. They even suspected that Meng Qi was pretending to be crazy."

"How can that be?" Yang Gang’s eyebrows knitted together.

With a light sigh, Xue Lei continued, "Since returning from the hospital, Meng Qi’s condition hasn’t improved at all. She spends her days wearing ragged clothes and acting crazy. When she sees strangers, she screams, and if anyone gets close to her, she tries to hit them with a rock. When Sister Lian took her to the hospital, she first put sleeping pills in her food. Everyone says, Meng Qi has lost her mind."

Her face showed a hint of mockery: "The heavens always bully these single-parent children. Sister Lian was infertile for many years. After seeking medical advice, when she finally had a daughter at the age of 35. Not long after Meng Qi was born, Sister Lian’s husband had an affair and divorced her. Meng Qi was raised by Sister Lian alone. Although life was tough, Meng Qi was smart and cute from a young age, and their mother-daughter life was full of joy. Nobody expected it to turn out like this now."

Yang Gang was about to say something, when he saw an astonishingly beautiful woman approaching from afar.

"Sister Miao, what brings you here?" Yang Gang greeted her.

Zhang Miao glanced at Xue Lei, gave Yang Gang a meaningful look, and smiled, "Gang, you’re really something. You’ve got the kid’s mum under control. I didn’t realize before that you were so talented at picking up women."

Yang Gang sweated nervously, "Sister Miao, don’t slander good people. My relationship with this sister is purely platonic."

Zhang Miao laughed lightly.

"Sister Miao, what are you really here for?" Yang Gang asked again.

"Er..." Zhang Miao thought for a while, "I came here earlier this morning, and heard from Aunt Lian about her daughter’s condition. I’m a bit concerned about that kid."

"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Yang Gang asked.

Zhang Miao slightly quieted, "Let’s go see Aunt Lian’s home first."

The two then said goodbye to Xue Lei and went to the home of Chen Lian.

Chen Lian’s house was similarly a dilapidated mansion.

When the door was knocked, Chen Lian saw it was Yang Gang, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you’re here?"

Yang Gang smiled and nodded.

The courtyard was empty and desolate, without any valuable objects, it was quite sad.

Chen Lian looked somewhat nervous: "Young Master, we are poor, I can’t provide a good living environment for the old lady..."

Yang Gang waved his hand, smiling, "Aunt Lian, thank you. After the Yang family was seized, many servants left without saying goodbye, leaving only you and Yueyao. It’s often said that adversity reveals true friendship. I won’t forget your kindness."

Chen Lian hurriedly said, "Young Master, it was you who redeemed me first. I initially stole the Luminous Pearl from the old lady and was discovered by you. Not only did you not report me to the police, but you even gave me ten thousand yuan for my daughter’s medical treatment. From that moment on, I, Chen Lian, have decided that I want to repay the kindness of you and the old lady."

Yang Gang smiled: "Aunt Lian, from now on, we are family, no need to be so polite. Where is grandma?"

"The old lady is sleeping." Chen Lian said.

Yang Gang pondered a bit: "What about Meng Qi?"

Chen Lian looked startled: "Young Master, you’re looking for Meng Qi..."

"I want to see her." Yang Gang said lightly.

Chen Lian seemed very hesitant: "Young Master, perhaps you do not know. Meng Qi is now crazy. When people approach, she throws rocks. Xuexue, her best friend and I, have been hit by her. The last time, she nearly hit grandma, which really angered me..."

Yang Gang smiled and said, "It’s okay. I react fast, she can’t hit me."

Chen Lian, after hesitating for a while, finally said, "Okay, she’s alone in the backyard. Young Master, be careful. She does not recognize anyone and tries to hit them with a stone."

Yang Gang nodded, "I understand."

With Chen Lian’s guidance, Yang Gang and Zhang Miao came to the back yard’s entrance.

After unlocking the backyard door, Chen Lian pointed to the girl sitting on the ground, looking demented, and said, "That’s my daughter, Meng Qi".

Yang Gang looked at the girl covered in dirt, hair all over the place, dirt all over her face, a sense of indescribable thoughts flashed across his mind.

He stood at the back door for a while looking at Meng Qi, then suddenly walked towards the backyard.

Chen Lian was startled and rushed to hold Yang Gang back, "Young Master, as soon as you enter the backyard, she will start throwing rocks at you".

Yang Gang looking at Chen Lian said calmly, "It’s alright, Meng Qi is a good girl, she will not throw rocks at me".

Zhang Miao spoke up, "Aunt Lian, Yang Gang is very skilled, he’ll be fine."

It was only then did Chen Lian let go, but was still worried.

If her daughter unintentionally hurts Yang Gang, what should she do? The grandmother loves the young master the most.

But to Chen Lian’s astonishment, what happened next left her mouth wide open in surprise.
