She felt a bit regretful. If she had just reported the incident when she first arrived, would the following plot have happened differently? At this moment, her mood was incredibly disheartened.
If she had taken this matter seriously back then, the outcome could have changed.
But she didn’t do it.
The journey to the town didn’t take long. She encountered only a few people from neighboring villages along the way.
Some didn’t recognize her, but those who did greeted her, and Fu Yuling returned their greetings.
When she arrived in town, she immediately went to the usual place to look for Luo Xiao.
To her surprise, he wasn’t there.
Just as she was about to leave after making sure that no one was there, someone called out to her.
“You’re looking for Luo Xiao, right?”
Fu Yuling turned around and saw a somewhat familiar face, the person was accompanied by a man.
The familiarity wasn’t from having met this person before, but because her face resembled Luo Xiao’s too closely.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was sure this person was a woman, Fu Yuling would have been a bit confused.
“Yes, Auntie, but it seems he’s not here.”
She said.
The woman smiled and replied, “He might be at the police station. Do you want to go up and sit for a while?”
“Station? Police Station?” Fu Yuling’s mouth twitched. Had this person done something bad behind her back again?
“Oh no, he’s just at the police station to catch someone, not locked up.”
Fu Yuling felt awkward for a moment. Was her expression that obvious?
“Then, Auntie, I’ll go look for him. I won’t go up to sit. Next time, I’ll visit in person.”
Her attitude was composed, and the woman liked her.
“Tell him he doesn’t need to come back tonight.”
“Okay, Auntie.”
Fu Yuling replied as she walked away.
The woman clicked her tongue twice, “This girl seems nice, but she’s just not interested in that boy Luo Xiao!”
The man beside her held her hand, carrying several large bags behind him.
“Let’s go! We still need to catch the train!”
The woman continued walking forward.
The reason for asking Fu Yuling to covey the message to Luo Xiao wasn’t for any other reason. It was mainly because they had returned the house. Even if Luo Xiao came back, he would have nowhere to stay.
Initially, the woman disagreed with this approach, but the man kept insisting that Luo Xiao had saved up quite a bit of money and wouldn’t starve, so she felt reassured.
Meanwhile, Luo Xiao, who was sitting in the police station, felt a constant twitch in his left eye. His heart was racing.
Until the moment the woman and the train left, Luo Xiao felt an unbearable pain in his chest.
He immediately thought of the two people at home. He wondered if he’d return to find his room gone, which would explain the pain in his chest.
What he didn’t know was that when he returned, it wouldn’t just be his room that was gone. It would be the entire home.
Those two left without a word, and the key point was that they didn’t give him a single penny. By the time he realized this, he felt utterly hopeless.
Staring at him from the side, Xiao Rui rubbed his temples.
“Brother, can I call you brother now?”
He sighed, “Sitting here doesn’t help! The boss is still out working!”
Luo Xiao stretched out his long legs and crossed his arms.
“I have time. I’ll wait.”
Xiao Rui was completely at a loss. He had been sitting here with this guy for over an hour.
He could try to kick him out, but this person could easily climb over the wall to get in. There weren’t enough people here to keep an eye on things. If this guy got hurt trying to climb back over, it would only make the situation worse, so he had no choice but to let him stay.
Once he entered, he acted like he owned the place, striding in with an air of arrogance.
“I told you, you can’t stop me, and you didn’t believe it.”
