He Wanqing nodded blankly. “Then why didn’t you call the police?”

Mu Jinghang’s expression immediately froze. Luckily, his face that now looked as dark as the bottom of a pan wasn’t too obvious.

“I did call. However, by the time the thief was caught, he had already spent all the money! Even though he is now behind bars, my money’s not coming back!”

He Wanqing stared pitifully at Mu Jinghang. “That’s so tragic.”

“Exactly!” Mu Jinghang put even more energy into his act and almost cried out loud.

“Auntie, please offer your generosity and let me stay here for a while. After I make some money, I will repay you!”

He Wanqing didn’t have the chance to speak when Qiao Qing’s lips quivered and ordered coldly, “Get him out of here.”

Huh?

Mu Jinghang’s expression froze again. Did something go wrong?

Based on all the information he found, this pair of mother and daughter should be very easy to scam.

He Wanqing peered over to Qiao Qing, looking a little torn. “Baby, why are we shooing him away? Look at how pitiful this kid is. This is an unfamiliar new city and everyone’s a stranger to him. Plus, he is pretending to be strong by not telling his parents. How great of a guy he is.”

Qiao Qing looked at her speechlessly. In the end, she didn’t say anything, sighed, and went back upstairs.

He Wanqing thought Qiao Qing had agreed to this so she waved around her hand, “Come on in. I haven’t cleaned up the guest room yet, so I will first go – huh?”

He Wanqing paused then looked over Jun Yexuan, “I still don’t know your name.”

Jun Yexuan retracted his gaze that was on Qiao Qing and responded with a smile, “Auntie, my last name is Ye, first name Xuan.”

Qiao Qing paused her footstep. Without turning her head, she hid in the corner of the staircase.

Mu Jinghang noticed how Jun Yexuan had used a fake name so he too, got rid of his real last name, “Auniey, my name is Jing Hang.”

He Wanqing doesn’t read much news related to the capital city so she wasn’t at all sensitive to these two names.

Without thinking about it too much, she continued speaking to Mu Jinghang, “You can go to little Xuan’s room to take a bath. I will take some of Qiao Qing’s father’s clothes to you.”

Hearing He Wanqing calling Jun Yexuan “little Xuan”, Mu Jinghang almost broke character and laughed. Right in front of someone’s warning face, he said with a twisted face. “Alright, auntie.”
