Chapter 2361 Making the Wrong Friends, Following the Wrong Person
After entering the door, Ma Xi politely greeted Xia Lin's parents, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Xia Lin's friend, my name is Shi Yang."
When the other party heard that the person was his daughter's good friend, his attitude was very good.
Mother Xia kept saying, "Please take a seat."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to pour her some water.
Seeing this, Ma Xi hurriedly waved her hands to stop him and said, "Auntie, uncle, you don't have to be so polite. I just came to see you."
She then explained her purpose, took out the prepared medicine from her bag and handed it to Father Xia, "Uncle, this medicine is for you. You will get better quickly after taking it."
Xia Lin also took the opportunity to introduce: "Dad, Mom, Shi Yang is amazing. He is a student in our school laboratory and was appreciated by the professor as soon as he arrived."
When the two heard this, they both praised: "You are really amazing at such a young age. Linlin, you should learn more from Shi Yang in the future. He is so outstanding, you should work hard!"
Ma Xi was a little embarrassed by the praise, and quickly shook her head, praising sincerely, "Uncle and aunt, you are too kind. Xia Lin is also very good, she studies hard, and she has her own ideas and opinions when doing things. She will achieve great things in the future."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Xia were very happy. They felt that their daughter was not only outstanding, but also sweet-spoken and particularly likable.
Mother Xia had been frowning all day, but gradually a smile appeared on her face.
She held Ma Xi's hand affectionately and invited her warmly, "This child is really good at talking. She is lovable! It's already this late. Why don't you stay for dinner? Auntie will cook some of her signature dishes right away!"
But Marcy declined, saying that they all had a lot of troubles and didn't want them to worry about her.
Then he deliberately said, "No, Auntie, I have something to deal with later, so I have to leave soon and won't stay for dinner."
Both Father and Mother Xia felt very sorry. "Well, if you have something else to do, then we won't keep you here."
But she still tried her best to invite him: "Then remember to come over next time, and Auntie will make you something delicious."
Marcy smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Then he got up and said goodbye and left.
Charlene quickly ran out to see her off and thanked her in various ways.
Marcy stopped and said half-jokingly, "If you keep being so polite, I'll get angry next time!"
Xia Lin waved her hands quickly and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, then you're welcome. Let's not be so formal."
Marcy touched her head and said, "That's right."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Marcy turned and left.
After Marcy returned, she never expected that another emergency would occur at the Xia family that night.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the landlord suddenly came to the door in a threatening manner.
As soon as he saw the people, the landlord shouted: "I'm sorry, we need this house urgently, please move out immediately."
Xia Lin and her friends had originally rented the place short-term and had only signed a one-month contract. The other party kicked them out so suddenly in the middle of the night, which caught them off guard and also violated the contract that they had signed in the beginning.
Xia Lin couldn't understand why he did this, so she went to him to argue, "Uncle Landlord, it's wrong for you to do this. We have a signed contract, you can't kick us out."
The landlord said angrily, "I don't care whether you have a contract or not. I heard that you provoked some hooligans and they came to smash things and you didn't tell me this.
I rent out a house as a small business, and I live on this rent. What if the other party comes to our house and damages our belongings? Will you compensate us? Anyway, pack up your things and leave immediately. Don't let me find someone to drive you away, otherwise it will be embarrassing."
The landlord rushed in angrily, his face as gloomy as iron, and threw things out without caring about the Xia family's wishes!
It was no use for Charlene to stop him. She could only watch him throw them out one by one.
When Xia's mother saw this, she was so angry that she burst into tears and couldn't stop falling.
But the mother and daughter were worried that their already injured father would be hurt.
If there is another conflict at this time, it will only aggravate his injuries.
They could only grit their teeth and suppress their anger and grievances.
Father Xia saw this, his expression was filled with deep helplessness and pain, but he still comforted his wife and daughter softly, "Don't cry, if it doesn't work, let's find a hotel to stay for a few nights and stay out of the spotlight first."
When Charlene heard what her father said, she felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles.
But she suppressed her surging emotions, nodded, silently packed up the luggage thrown outside the door, and then took her parents to find a hotel nearby.
But for some reason, almost every hotel near them was fully booked.
The front desk clerk shook his head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, our room is fully booked. There is not even one vacant room. You should look somewhere else."
Charlene and her friends had no choice but to try two or three more restaurants that were farther away.
The result was the same, even the explanation was the same, no chance to check in at all.
Charlene's heart sank.
She supported her tired parents as they stood on the side of the road, recalling the series of strange events: first the frequent harassment from the gangsters, then the police's words, and then being kicked out by the landlord.
Now all hotels are fully booked again. This is definitely not a coincidence.
Charlene realized later that something was wrong.
Someone is targeting them, is it those thugs? Is it the people behind the scenes who are manipulating them?
Did the other party really want to force them into a desperate situation and kill them in this city?
For the first time, Charlene felt helpless and didn't dare to go to her relatives for help.
I lived outside before because I was worried about causing trouble to others. If I go there rashly now, I’m afraid the situation will be even worse.
I guess those people won’t even let go of their relatives.
Just when she was at a loss and confused, her cell phone suddenly vibrated, the screen lit up, and she received an anonymous message.
She opened it with trembling fingers, and it read: "Charlene, how does it feel to live on the streets with your parents? It must be very uncomfortable, right? Unfortunately, you can only blame yourself for making the wrong friends and following the wrong people."
Charlene shuddered.
What does this mean?
What does it mean to make friends with the wrong people?
She suddenly thought of Shi Yang.
During this period of time, she was only close to Shi Yang. Was she being targeted because of her?
Xia Lin was not stupid either. She suddenly remembered what happened when she met Yao Xingnuo at the counter on Saturday.
It was also that afternoon that problems started to arise at home, and they have continued to occur until now.
Charlene's hands couldn't stop shaking.
So, everything that happened to me and my parents was because of Shi Yang?
Because he had offended Yao Xingnuo, he wanted to use himself as an excuse to kill everyone.
Charlene's eyes suddenly turned red and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Yes!
If it were Anya and the others, it would be easy for them to hire a few thugs, bribe the hotel, or even collude with the police.
