Chapter 259 The Lifesaver
Wang asked directly without even thinking, "Are you talking about Boss Chen?"

"Yes, that's the middle-aged man who looks quite polite. Is he a scholar?" After being punished by the Xie family, Xu Mengxiao is now prejudiced against scholars, fearing that another person who can't read will covet their family's money. people.

"Not really, he just helped my mother and frequented her business, so we are more polite to him." Seeing that Xu Mengxiao seemed uneasy, Mrs. Wang patted her chest and said.

"Boss Chen is a good man. His wife has passed away many years ago and he has never remarried. He has no son or daughter. It is not easy."

Usually when a woman says something like this, it's out of sympathy and distress, and it's easy to fall into the trap.

Xu Mengxiao looked at her mother, slightly worried.

"What are you thinking about!" Realizing what she had not finished saying, Wang almost blushed and slapped her in the face.

"Mom, it's enough to have the three of you in my life. I'm determined not to fall into another trap with a man!"

She said this with gritted teeth and a bit of anger.

Xu Mengxiao hurriedly said: "It's not like this. Sister can look for it, and so can you, but don't look for men in the trash. When we become better and more powerful, what kind of good man can't be found in the future?"

"I won't look for him, I won't look for him, I won't even look for him even if he kills me!" Not to mention how determined Wang's attitude was, there was even a hint of resistance.

Xu Mengxiao also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, not to mention that her mother's current state was a good thing. The man clearly wanted to attack her mother. No matter what the purpose was, Xu Mengxiao did not want to agree.

Just waiting for her to ask again, Mrs. Wang refused to say anything. She seemed to have realized that she shouldn't mention her husband in front of her daughter, and she was thinking that she would have to avoid it in the future, otherwise if others misunderstood, there would be trouble. I can’t even tell.

Xu Mengxiao had no choice but to find her eldest sister secretly.

Xu Lingyan hesitated for a moment, but she said it knowingly, "Do you still remember that I brought Xiao Hui here from Yaoyu Village last time? I originally planned to go back to the village to live for a while, but something happened that made me unable to I dare you to let my mother be here alone."

"What's the matter?" Xu Mengxiao frowned, and she said calmly, but something was wrong. At that time, her eldest sister fooled her.

"Not long after you guys went back, a theft occurred in the shop in the middle of the night. Mom didn't care about anything at the time, so she chased after her, trying to get the money and things back. I was so frightened that I forgot to go to Taoyuan Township to look for it. people."

Xu Lingyan tried her best to speak calmly and simply, but her tone still showed a hint of panic unconsciously.Xu Mengxiao was secretly annoyed that she should have left a few people for them to protect their safety, but she was careless.

"Then, you are not injured, are you?"

"No, that's not the case. It's just that my mother was very frightened. If Boss Chen hadn't come to the rescue, something might have happened to her."

Xu Mengxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, it was too late to ask.

"What's the specific story? Boss Chen seems to have a hard time protecting himself, right?"

"Who wouldn't say it?" Xu Lingyan said with gratitude, "He risked his life to save his mother. If not, those gangsters wouldn't have given up so easily. However, he was still slightly injured, but fortunately he recovered everything. ."

"Did you report to the police the next day?"

"I reported it, but I heard that there have been a lot of thefts at night recently, and many people committed crimes. My mother was so scared that she didn't see what they looked like, so she didn't care. We went back and took precautions, but nothing like this happened again. ”

"You are too bold, why don't you go find the people from Taoyuan Township." Xu Mengxiao was so worried that her tone became a little stern. Lu He appeared behind her at some point and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"It's okay. If you care, you'll get into trouble. Mom and I are not weak women without the strength to restrain a chicken."

"So you just put all kinds of scissors and shovels in front of the bed and behind the door?" Xu Mengxiao took a breath and blamed herself for not noticing it earlier.

"I will arrange two people for you to protect your safety. While you are busy with business, I can help you with chores and run errands, and you can also save more time to rest."

Seeing her like this, Xu Lingyan couldn't refuse, not to mention what she said did make sense.

"What are your thoughts?" After the people left, Lu He asked softly, as if he knew her plan.
