Chapter 1727: Chapter 1662: Group Favorite Counterpart 92

Yang Baozhu’s life has been getting harder over the past few years.

Back when Wang Fugui was alive, he treated her quite well.

Although he didn’t leave her any estate or shares, Wang Fugui’s children were quite filial, and Wang Fugui himself was rich. He was willing to spend on Yang Baozhu to ensure she served him well.

Though Yang Baozhu didn’t live as luxuriously as those wealthy madams, she certainly never worried about food and drink, and she could even save some money to send to her family.

Later, Yang Baolin and Yang Baoshan fought over the family’s house. Both brothers claimed that Yang Laoer and Sun Jinhua were biased and kicked the elderly couple out. They split the house in half, each taking one half. They tore down the old house to build a new one. The house was well-built, but the old couple couldn’t live in it.

Yang Baozhu had no choice but to use the money she’d saved over the years to buy a small apartment in the county for the old couple to live in.

Not long after she spent the money, Wang Fugui suddenly died of an illness.

With Wang Fugui’s death, Yang Baozhu’s good days came to an end.

Wang Fugui’s children directly drove Yang Baozhu out of the house.

Of course, they didn’t go too far. They were people who cared about appearances and, considering Yang Baozhu had served Wang Fugui for years and endured hardships even without significant achievements, they gave her a house in the Provincial City and a bit of money. They also let her take her own jewelry.

Logically, if Yang Baozhu didn’t spend lavishly, the money they gave her would be enough for her to live on.

But Yang Baozhu was used to living extravagantly and couldn’t bear life without money. When Wang Fugui was around, she lived in a big villa. After he was gone, she had to live in a small apartment, unable to bear the downgrade.

Yang Baozhu grew to resent Wang Fugui’s children.

But they were rich and powerful, and Yang Baozhu couldn’t do much, so she could only be angry in private.

A few years later, Yang Baozhu spent all her money, and her life became increasingly difficult.

She couldn’t earn money, and she couldn’t face working, so she had to sell jewelry and second-hand items to get by.

That day, after selling a piece of jewelry, she was thinking of buying some ingredients to learn to cook at home. Out of nowhere, a flowerpot fell and knocked her unconscious.

When Yang Baozhu woke up in the hospital, a voice appeared in her mind: "Ding, the Playboy System is binding. Does the Host accept?"

Yang Baozhu was stunned.

Si Qi worked late into the night, finally finishing what Xiao Yuan had asked him to do. By then, it was very dark, and Si Qi went downstairs to find a place to buy some food.

He found a small shop, bought some food, took it to the car, and started driving back.

These days, Si Ya and Ren Lu were preparing to take wedding photos. On top of that, Si Qi was learning about company affairs, prompting Anning and Xiao Yuan to come to the Capital. They stayed in the villa they had bought there.

Therefore, when Si Qi returned home at night, he returned to the villa.

Driving slowly, as he approached the villa complex, the number of people and cars on the road decreased, and Si Qi gradually relaxed, increasing his speed.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash.

Si Qi quickly stopped the car, and under the car’s headlights, he saw a person appear unexpectedly on the road ahead.

Si Qi got out to check and found a woman lying there, dressed in a red ancient costume, seemingly unconscious.

The woman lay across the ground, appearing to have fainted. Si Qi didn’t dare move her.

Thinking for a moment, he called the police and an ambulance.

Before the police and ambulance arrived, Si Qi stayed.

A girl lying on the road so late at night, Si Qi had to stay and watch over her.

He was both hungry and thirsty, thinking the ambulance might take a while. He took out the food he’d bought and sat in front of the car, eating.

Just a few bites in, the girl opened her eyes.

She looked at Si Qi, full of excitement: "Xiao Lang."

Si Qi: ...

The girl called out and fainted again.

Si Qi was startled.

At that moment, his phone rang: "Si Qi, why aren’t you home yet?"

The call was from Anning.

Hearing Anning’s voice made Si Qi feel a bit wronged: "Mom, something happened on my way back, I don’t know what..."

He explained everything in detail: "I’m keeping watch now, Mom, the girl woke up just now, saw me, and called me Xiao Lang. Her outfit is really strange. You think she might be mentally ill?"

Anning was shocked at Si Qi’s description.

She called for Xiao Yuan and headed out.

Xiao Yuan followed Anning, driving to find Si Qi.

On the way, Anning explained the situation to Xiao Yuan: "This collision of time and space, who knows what might happen. Do you think this girl could be from Ancient times, traveled here?"

"Let’s see,"

Xiao Yuan, not having seen the girl, couldn’t be certain.

He and Anning had been calculating what might happen, but the fate was obscured. Even with their skills, they could only predict vaguely, without specifics. They could only be cautious of those close to them and take things one step at a time regarding what extraordinary events might occur.

Anning and Xiao Yuan found Si Qi at the hospital.

At the time, there were two police officers with Si Qi.

They were asking Si Qi some questions.

Anning and Xiao Yuan waited by the side until the police finished the report.

Anning hurriedly asked Si Qi: "Si Qi, are you alright?"

Si Qi stood up: "Mom, I’m fine."

Xiao Yuan was talking to the police officers, also gathering information.

The officers were cooperative: "We checked the dashcam footage, Mr. Xiao didn’t hit the lady. Rest assured, there won’t be any trouble."

Xiao Yuan sighed in relief.

Afterward, they waited for the girl to wake up.

It wasn’t until nearly midnight that the girl in the emergency room woke up.

They hurried in to check.

The police wanted to know who the girl was and if she had any family so she could be sent home quickly.

Si Qi wanted to ensure she was okay and wouldn’t falsely accuse him.

But he wasn’t too worried. After all, he had evidence that he didn’t hit her. She appeared and fainted in front of his car herself. Even if she or her family wanted to extort money, they couldn’t.

Then, when they gathered around the hospital bed to ask the girl about her background, the girl looked at Si Qi and burst into tears.

She grabbed Si Qi’s hand: "Xiao Lang, don’t leave me."

Si Qi: ...

His expression turned grim.

Anning glanced at Xiao Yuan. The two knew in their hearts that their fears might have become reality.

Si Qi shook off the girl’s hand: "Who are you, I don’t know you. Don’t go around recognizing people randomly."

The two policemen also asked: "Young lady, what’s your name, where are you from? Do you remember your family, your parents?"

The girl shook her head vigorously, looking at Si Qi with tearful eyes: "I, I don’t know, I only know him."
