At the southernmost tip of Jincheng, close to the national highway, there is a residential area located halfway up the mountain.

The entire Jincheng is a long and narrow strip from west to east, with the shortest distance from north to south being less than two kilometers.

This residential area is located at the southernmost end of this shortest section.

It is backed by mountains and faces Jincheng Center, the most prosperous commercial center in Jincheng.

This is a slum that provides a residence for the lower-class people who make a living in this city. The houses are all self-built houses built by local people in the past.

But with the development of the economy, there are almost no Jincheng locals in this place.

They are all rented out to outsiders who come to Jincheng to make a living.

Yet such a poor place has a heart-wrenching name.

Fulongping!

A pink Maserati drove into Fulongping along the winding cement road.

Passersby on the road looked sideways.

In this place full of poor people, such million-dollar luxury cars are almost unseen.

After arriving at Fulongping, the navigation was no longer useful. The narrow concrete road with many intersections made meeting other cars a problem.

After that, the girl was the one giving directions while Lu Yuqing drove attentively.

I guess she had basically never been to such a place, so the whole driving process was very slow and she was very nervous.

Finally, after turning several corners, the girl pointed to a yard and said, "That's my home!"

After getting off the car, the girl enthusiastically invited the two men in.

The two did not refuse.

Lu Yuqing wanted to see how the people here live.

Liu Xuan was reminded of the difficult life he had in his previous life.

He also lived in a house with a monthly rent of 200 yuan and walked through narrow alleys.

The girl took out the key and opened the gate.

The old wooden door creaked.

After entering the yard, the girl shouted happily into the house: "Grandma, I'm back!"

The yard is not big, with only one room in it and a shed next to it, which is full of waste paper and plastic bottles.

The old woman with a wrinkled face opened the door, hunched over and tremblingly leaning on a cane.

"Yao'er is back..."

She looked at her granddaughter with loving eyes, but also noticed the scar on her neck.

"What's wrong with your neck?"

The old man looked worried and reached out to touch the girl's neck, but he didn't dare touch the wound.

The girl's eyes dimmed: "Let's go inside and talk!"

The old lady finally noticed Liu Xuan and Lu Yuqing not far away.

Trying to open his cloudy eyes: "What is this?"

The girl put one hand on the old man’s arm and said, “This is my…friend!”

"Let's go in and talk!"

The old man nodded, and then the girl apologized to Liu Xuan and Lu Yuqing and helped the old man into the house.

Liu Xuan and Lu Yuqing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

After entering the house, the two were shocked again.

The furnishings in the room were simple, even the benches were small wooden ones, covered with traces of erosion by time.

After the girl settled the two of them, she took out some tea leaves from the cupboard and boiled a pot of water.

While waiting for the water to boil, she simply told the old man the whole process, but deliberately ignored the fact that the gangster was holding a knife. As for the scar on her neck, she only said that she was accidentally scratched by a bamboo branch during the resistance.

The old man was terrified when he heard this.

After learning that it was Liu Xuan who saved her granddaughter, she burst into tears and even slid off the bed and wanted to kneel down to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly supported him.

"Young man, thank you so much... You are the savior of my Li family!"

"I only have this one granddaughter. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to rest in peace even after I die!"

Lu Yuqing quickly comforted the old lady: "Grandma, what are you talking about? Your daughter is jumping around in front of you!"

"I... really don't know how to thank you!"

Liu Xuan helped the old man to the bed and said, "This is what we should do."

The girl made a cup of tea for each of them.

The two of them asked the old man about the situation at home.

The old man looked bitter throughout the whole process.

It turned out that the girl's parents divorced a few years ago. After the divorce, the woman went to the south with a man from Huadu. The man was even more heartless and never returned home.

Over the years, the grandmother and granddaughter have depended on each other.

The grandmother picked up scraps to raise money for her granddaughter's tuition and living expenses, and the girl would help her grandmother pick up bottles after school.

This peaceful life lasted for three years until it was broken by a sudden accident today.

The girl finally found out the whereabouts of her father, but it was bad news.

What the police station learned from the man was that the girl's father had run away with the man's wife, which was why he lost his temper and did such a thing.

The man blocked the girl at the school gate and was discovered by passers-by during the struggle, which led to the previous scene.

The two of them chatted with the old man for a full hour and a half before they said goodbye and left.

The old man wanted to keep the two of them for dinner.

Liu Xuan still had to go to the company, so he declined the old man's invitation.

The girl saw Liu Xuan and Lu Yuqing out.

Liu Xuan looked at the girl and felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.

It is hard to imagine that in this corner of the city with so many high-rise buildings, there are people who can hardly make a living.

Because of a woman's natural sensibility, Lu Yuqing felt even more uncomfortable. She gently rubbed the girl's hair and said, "Tell me if you have any difficulties in the future. I hope I can help you!"

"No need, sister. Grandma and I are living well..."

The girl forced a smile.

After leaving the house, Lu Yuqing took out a wad of cash from her bag and stuffed it into the girl's hand: "It's not much money, I hope this can help you."

"Sister, I can't accept this!"

The girl was a little flustered and resolutely stuffed the money back to Lu Yuqing.

"Just think of it as a loan from me. When you graduate from school and make some money, you can pay me back. Is that ok?"

"I can support me and grandma!"

The girl still rejected Lu Yuqing's kindness.

Lu Yuqing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Xuan's eyes.

He looked at the girl and said, "Do you have a pen and paper? I'll leave you my phone number. If you run into any trouble in the future, just call me!"

The girl hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, ran back to the house, and got paper and pen.

The girl took the paper and pen and wrote down her phone number.

But he didn't rush to return the pen to the girl.

He glanced at the yard: "I suddenly want to go to the bathroom. Is it in the yard?"

The girl pointed to a dilapidated wooden door in the yard: "There!"

Liu Xuan nodded in thanks, put the pen in his pocket, and then walked sideways into the yard.

After entering the bathroom and closing the door, he took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a bank card, wrote down the password in the signature area with the girl's pen, then opened the door and walked out.

When he passed by the girl, he took the opportunity to slip the bank card into her pocket while she was chatting with Lu Yuqing.

After leaving the room, Liu Xuan handed the pen to the girl and said with a smile, "I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Li Qiongyao!"

The girl always had a smile on her face.

“What a great name!”

Lu Yuqing sighed sincerely, then took the girl's hand and said, "My name is Lu Yuqing, you can call me Sister Qing. If you need help in the future, remember to contact us!"

Li Qiongyao nodded heavily.

Liu Xuan just smiled: "Liu Xuan!"

The girl said a little embarrassedly: "Today, I really troubled you. I don't know how to repay you..."

Lu Yuqing rubbed her hair and said, "Study hard, and when you become successful in the future, think about repaying us."

The girl nodded and said nothing.

Liu Xuan and Lu Yuqing got in the car, waved goodbye to the girl, and drove away from the alley.

The girl stared at the direction the car left, lost in thought.
