Chapter 16 Scammed

"That Mo Zhuyang seems like she's not one to be trifled with. Lianyi, I'm a little worried about you." When Li Tiantian recalled that look Mo Zhuyang had in the store, she felt a cold sweat all over her body.

"It's fine, we don't have any interaction with her either, don't worry." Xiang Lianyi reassured Li Tiantian. She really was not worried about her. For an older woman like her, whatever Mo Zhuyang does will just be a little girl's tricks.

"Well, I think it's better to be careful anyway!" Li Tiantian said with a frown. She felt that Xiang Lianyi was underestimating Mo Zhuyang.

Putting those things behind them, the two of them went home laughing and talking.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Xiang Lianyi called loudly as she entered the house.

"Alright, you're back. What are you shouting for, girl? You scared me." Qin Zhu came out from the kitchen and said angrily.

"Hehe, I bought some food, let me help you cook tonight, Mom." Xiang Lianyi said with a smile.

"Spending money recklessly again. Let me see, what did you buy?" When though Qin Zhu sounded harsh, she was actually very happy inside. Her child was growing up and becoming more mature. Once they finish the Xi family's order, their family's life should be getting better.

"By the way, Mom, it's almost time for delivery, right?" Xiang Lianyi said she worked on the food.

"Yeah, it's already the 20th today. There are still five days left." Qin Zhu was a little uneasy for no reason. She frowned, "Let's go check it out tomorrow."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry. It should be fine." Xiang Lianyi saw that Qin Zhu's face was looking grim and spoke to comfort her.

At dinner time, Xiang Guoping said, "Lianyi, school is about to start. It's your senior year, you must work hard this time."

Her father's sincere words were so dear to Xiang Lianyi's ears.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard." God had given her a second chance, and there would really be no excuse if she couldn't do it better this time.

The next day, Qin Zhu couldn't wait to drag Xiang Lianyi to the factory.

When they got there, there was simply no one there!

The mother and daughter duo stood in the empty factory, feeling rushes of dizziness. What was going on?

"Lianyi, are we looking in the wrong place?" Qin Zhu trembled and grabbed onto Xiang Lianyi and asked.

"This... Mom, don't worry, I'll take another look." Xiang Lianyi's legs were shaking as well. Her chest swelled with a chill. It's not true, it definitely is not true.

God had let her start over, but how can he be so cruel?

She doesn't believe it!

She doesn't believe it!

But no matter how hard the mother and daughter searched, they couldn't find any trace of the factory. Even the two so-called people in charge had disappeared.

"What do we do? What do we do?" Qin Zhu sank down to the ground, her face pale. She had invested almost everything she had into this. Now is she going to lose everything she has?

It was getting darker and darker, and the night behind Xiang Lianyi seemed to be swallowing her up!

When Xiang Lianyi realized that she had been scammed, she became desperate for a moment. However, when she saw how lost Qin Zhu was, she suddenly came to her senses. She couldn't fall now, if she did, Qin Zhu would be done, as well.

"Mom, you get up first. It's fine, we'll go to the police first, we'll find those two people."

"Really?" As if she had found her support, Qin Zhu opened her eyes wide and asked.

"We definitely will," Xiang Lianyi whispered, not knowing who exactly she was trying to comfort.

The two of them went to the police station to call the police. But it had been so long and they no longer had any useful information on hand other than a fake business card. The police were having a hard time, but they still tried to comfort them and told them they would try to find the scammers.

They came out of the police station.

"Lianyi, don't let your father know about this. Don't say anything when you get home."

"Mom..."

Qin Zhu was back to her old, determined self.

Xiang Lianyi felt relieved to see her mother like that. She was really afraid that her mother would be devastated by this. If so, then what was the point of starting over?

"Mom, don't worry, we'll find a way." She gripped Qin Zhu's hand tight and said.

Qin Zhu nodded with the heaviness of her face, "Things have come to this point, for the sake of your father, we can't give up either ."

The mother and daughter cheered each other up.

After returning home, the two of them put on smiles on their faces. Xiang Guoping couldn't see their expressions, but he couldn't hear any problems from the relaxed tones of their voices and felt relieved. "Come, come. You guys work so hard. Come eat something. Why did you come back so late?"

"Oh, we talked to them about something. It's nothing, let's eat quickly, I'm so tired. Let's finish and get some rest." Qin Zhu said, hiding her worries.

Xiang Guoping nodded his head in relief at the news, but Xiang Qingsong, who was also there, noticed something wrong in his mother and sister's expressions. He looked at them with strong suspicion, but didn't ask any more questions since his father was present.

But in the evening, he finally couldn't help but find Xiang Lianyi, "Sister, did something happen?" He asked worriedly.

He wasn't very old, but he wanted to help out with the family business.

"Why do you ask? It's okay." Xiang Lianyi said without changing her expression. She was also surprised that her brother had sensed that something was wrong so quickly.

"Really? Sister, if something had happened, you shouldn't hide it from me. I might be able to help." Xiang Qingsong said seriously.

"I know. Go to sleep, there's nothing wrong, don't worry." Xiang Lianyi patted her brother's head and said gently.

Looking at Xiang Qingsong's tender face, she wanted to cry for a moment. Why couldn't such her sweet and understanding brother have a bright future?

No!

She will not let her family make the same mistake again. If God gave her a chance to do it all over again but did not intend for her to change her destiny.

Then she will change it herself!
