Chapter 63

"Let me help you with sitting down in the car."

Meixiu said as she held out her hand for Grandma Peng to take it. The older woman thanked her as Meixiu guided her out of the house.

As they went out, Weimin quickly got out of the car and waited for them to arrive at the side of the car.

"Wouldn't you want to say goodbye to Xiaohui or even to Mom?"

Meixiu asks, wanting to hear what the older woman would say.

Grandma Peng smiles as she shakes her head, waving her hands in the process.

"You could tell them, and they already knew about this."

"Still, it'll be better if it's you who's going to be the one to tell them."

Meixiu said that as she opened the backseat door and put the bag inside, she guided the woman to sit down as she looked at Weimin.

"I should come."

"Well then, let's hop in."

Weimin said, smiling as he walked around to the driver's seat. Meixiu opened the door and sat down at the passenger side, surprising Grandma Peng.

"Meixiu, what are you doing?"

Meixiu looks at her back, leaning towards the infotainment system as she smiles, holding eye contact with Grandma Peng.

"I need to set you off, Grandma."

Meixiu said, smiling at the older woman as the car drove away from the neighborhood. Grandma Peng shakes her head, as everything she said didn't have any effect on Meixiu.

"What else can I do to let you stay?"

"There's nothing you could do, Grandma Peng; Meixiu has been stubborn since birth."

Weimin interrupted, making the older woman burst into a fit of giggles as Meixiu glared at her friend.

-

"Xiaohui."

The said girl looked at her back and saw Qiang with a pissed expression playing on his face. The guy strided forward, his crutches making noise as they made contact with the floor.

"Qiang, you got out of the hospital?"

"What else? Do you want me to stay there forever or maybe die?"

Qiang asks, his glare hardening as Xiaohui sighs and shakes her head.

"I'll look like a villain."

"You are a villain."

Qiang countered; he stepped a little closer towards Xiaohui as the girl stepped back, his breathing fanning onto the girl's face.

"Do you know how much pain you and Meixiu cause me?"

He asks, to which the girl responds by looking at his whole body.

Qiang went towards the office as soon as he was released from the hospital, wanting to confront Xiaohui and Meixiu, as he knew the taller girl would eventually come and visit her wife.

But all he saw was Xiaohui, and he still likes it as he can show it and cause pain to his cousin.

The guy has his left ankle wrapped up as it broke in the process, and her forehead has a small bandage as a way to stop the wound from opening up.

His full right arm was wrapped up as well, as it got damaged by the guy who didn't even show any mercy until his boss arrived.

He got so upset upon seeing Meixiu not getting beaten up while he almost died.

"I could see..."

Xiaohui said, her eyes looking back up towards Qiang as the man continued to glare at her. She didn't back down from the intense stare he was giving her.

"You two made me look like a weak man!"

"But you are one."

Xiaohui counters, getting a little impatient with the conversation she's having with Qiang.

Qiang grabs her right arm using his free hands, pulling the girl towards him as he sneers at her.

"How can you say that? It's your wife who's the weak one here!"

He yelled, not wanting to deal with the stupidity of Xiaohui.

His hand tightened its grip on hers as Xiaohui squealed quietly, not wanting to draw any attention in their direction.

The girl's hand quickly came into contact with Qiang's chest, pushing the man a little too hard as he stumbled onto his place, leaning his body against the wall for support.

"You don't know who Meixiu is, so don't talk about her!"

She said, breathing a little too hard as she huffed before walking away from his direction.

But before she could get away from his place, he said something that questioned Xiaohui's knowledge about her wife.

"As if you also know her! She's a piece of mystery!"

-

Meixiu felt the car stop as she quickly opened her eyes, looking around the area and then at Weimin.

The man looks at her and shrugs his shoulders, pointing at the infotainment system as it shows that they are in the right place.

"I also think it's weird considering there are no houses around."

Weimin spoke, getting the idea that popped into Meixiu's mind. The girl nodded before looking at the old lady, who was sleeping peacefully at the back.

She quickly walks out of the car, slipping inside the backseat, before shaking the lady a little bit to ask if they are in the right place.

"Grandma, we are here."

Grandma Peng's eyes quickly opened, meeting Meixiu's as she looked around the area and smiled widely.

"We'll have to walk to get to our area."

She said this and quickly went towards the door, having a little hard time opening it.

Meixiu went out of her door and held it open, waiting for the old lady to hop out of the car, which she did for a little while after not being successful in opening hers.

"Thank you."

Grandma Peng said, smiling widely at Meixiu. The girl shakes her head before closing the door as Weimin's opened, with him quickly going out of the car.

Meixiu went towards the trunk as Weimin went in Grandma Peng's direction, helping the old lady stand properly.

As Meixiu continues to unload the old lady's luggage, they quickly hear footsteps running in their direction, allerging Weimin as he quickly pulls his gun in the direction of the sound.

The bush moves a little, and Weimin uses his body to hide the old lady, not wanting her to get hurt by the possible attacker.

As Meixiu closed the door of the trunk and went beside Weimin, the attacker went out with a wide smile on her face but quickly stepped back upon meeting the nuzzle of the gun.

"Hey! W-what the hell!?"

She freaked out as she screamed for help. Weimin sighs as the girl seems harmless before putting the gun back in its designated place.

"You don't need to sneak on us like that, Miss."

"I'm only h-here to greet my Auntie Grandma! How dare you point a gun towards me!?"

She quickly went in his direction and punched him in the chest. Weimin sighs before grabbing a hold of the girl's hands, pushing her a little as she invades his privacy.

"Excuse me? You're the one who seems to want to scare your Auntie Grandma."

Meixiu spoke, an emotionless expression laying on her face in the process. The girl looks at her, and her eyes widen a little before she shakes her head, glaring at the two in the process.

"Who are you two, even? You're not welcome in our town."

She said, her eyes piercing towards their skulls as Weimin and Meixiu eyed each other. The two shrugged their shoulders before stepping aside, revealing Grandma Peng, who kept tapping on their backs as soon as the girl came into their eyes.

The girl's eyes widen, her lips curving into a big smile as she squeals and goes in Grandma Peng's direction.

"Auntie Grandma!"

She yells, engulfing the old lady in a bear hug as her arms go to circle around her waist, hugging her back in the process.
