Chapter 863 Asking Xiaofen for Help

“She won’t see us. The security guards at the gate are all her informants. If she doesn’t want to see us, she has plenty of ways to avoid us.” Yang Guangzong clenched his fist angrily and said, “This can’t go on. We have to find another way.”

Ye's father pounded his fists and cursed, "You beast, you wicked daughter, you unfilial wretch! I should have pasted her onto the wall back then!"

Everyone: "..."

Old Zhang puffed on his pipe and said, "Brother, what's the use of saying all this? Your daughter won't see you, what can you do? I think you should just go back to your hometown instead of wasting your time here."

"Just like that, we're going back to our hometown?"

"What else can we do? Go back to your hometown first, and then sue her when you're sixty years old. That's the only way."

The two men's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito.

That was their original thought, because that's what the police officers advised them when they went to report it.

If I were back in my hometown, I wouldn't mind; I don't want the hassle.

The problem is, they've already come all this way, spent money, and suffered all this trouble, so how can they be willing to accept it?

Who would be willing to go back without even seeing them once?

At this point, Yang Guangzong said, "No matter what, you can't just refuse to see her. It's one thing if you refuse to see me, but her father-in-law and mother-in-law are her biological parents."

Old Zhang: "That's what you say, but what can you do about it?"

"What's the matter?" Yang Guangzong gritted his teeth and said, "We'll go find Tang Xiaofen tomorrow."

"Tang Xiaofen? Who is that?"

"She's from the same hometown and has a good relationship with Ye Xiaotong. She works at that company collecting garbage and can go in every day."

The two went to find Tang Xiaofen the next day.

Tang Xiaofen works the early shift now, and she's still sweeping the floor early in the morning.

I deliberately left the cleaning to be done in the morning, just to impress the boss.

When Yang Guangzong met her, she was busy.

So Yang Guangzong said to Ye's parents, "She's the one. Wait a bit, she's busy right now."

"Is he a street sweeper?"

"Yes."

The two of them pursed their lips.

Thinking that since Ye Xiaotong's friend was a street sweeper, her own social standing probably wasn't much higher.

Yang Guangzong said that the brat had made a fortune, and how incredibly rich she was; he was probably exaggerating to some extent.

The group waited for a while until Tang Xiaofen finished her work and left.

He quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Tang Xiaofen: "What?"

Yang Guangzong smiled and pointed to Ye's parents who were jogging over, saying, "These are my parents-in-law, Xiaotong's parents. They are the ones who want to see you."

Tang Xiaofen also knew about Ye Xiaotong's family affairs.

Did Tang Xiaofen think that just because they said they were Ye Xiaotong's parents, she would look at them with more respect?

No, I heard they were her parents, that's why Tang Xiaofen looks down on them.

In her own family, her father and older brother looked down on women, but her mother was alright.

She was protected by her mother since she was a child, and although she suffered a lot, she was definitely better than Ye Xiaotong.

As a woman herself, Ye Xiaotong's mother is probably like Jiang Mei, who sees women as appendages of men and gains men's approval by exploiting women weaker than herself.

"I heard you're Xiaotong's friend?"

Tang Xiaofen nodded. "Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"

"That's good." The two breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’ve come to find Xiaotong. She hasn’t been home for years. Her mother misses her so much that her eyes are swollen from crying.”

Mother Ye: "..."

Mr. Ye nudged her, and she immediately said, wiping the corner of her eye, "Yes, my daughter has some misunderstandings with us. She left home a few years ago and we lost contact with her. We were really worried, so we came to find her."

Tang Xiaofen: "Do you know where she is?"

"I know, but the security guard wouldn't let us in."

"The security guards won't let you in, which means Xiaotong doesn't want to see you. You should know in your hearts what you've done to her. Uncle, Aunt, I advise you to just let it go. She's finally getting a good life, have some decency."

The two men looked extremely grim.

Mr. Ye was about to lose his temper.

Ye's mother quickly pulled him back and calmed his anger down.

“Girl, we know Xiaotong hates us, but it’s all a misunderstanding. We’ve come to her to clear things up. She’s our own daughter; how could we live our whole lives with hatred?”

Tang Xiaofen pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ye's mother added, "At least give them a chance, right? We need to sit down and talk things over properly."

Tang Xiaofen frowned. "So what do you want to do?"

"We would like to trouble you to show us the way in."

Tang Xiaofen smiled, "I'm afraid that won't work."

The two men's expressions changed.

Tang Xiaofen added, "That's a workplace, and family members aren't allowed in there."

"Huh? Then..."

"Hey, Auntie, don't worry, I'll pass on your message. Whether she sees you or not depends on her."

Even if they won't let you in, it would be good if they could at least send a message.

"Alright, thank you, miss."

Tang Xiaofen rode her tricycle to the company to collect recyclables, while Yang Guangzong and the other two waited at the door.

The three of them weren't idle either; they discussed what to do if Ye Xiaotong still wouldn't see them.

They discussed it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

At this moment, Ye's mother had a sudden inspiration, "I've got it! Since calling the police is useless, let's just put up a banner."

"Hold up a banner?"

"Yes, I just saw a bag shop opening on the street. There were a few people banging drums and gongs, and they even had a banner. Although I can't read, I can guess what it says."

Ok?

“If this brat is really determined not to see us, we’ll put up a banner here, grab some pots and pans and start banging on her, saying she’s an ingrate who doesn’t recognize her parents.”

Yang Guangzong gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

Mr. Ye slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, if it really comes to that, we'll put up a banner."

Of course, we wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary.

After all, such a large banner must be expensive.

Ye Xiaotong is a disgrace, and so are they.

Nobody wants to lose face unless absolutely necessary.

While they were discussing things outside, Tang Xiaofen also told Ye Xiaotong about the situation.

"What do you think we should do? Judging from their behavior, they won't give up if you don't see them."

"Well, I know."

"That……"

Ye Xiaotong looked at her and said, "Xiaofen, could you please pass on a message for me when you go out later?"

"Fine, what did you say?"

"Tell them to wait for me at the restaurant."

She took out a list she had written down earlier. "This has an address on it. Tell them to go to this restaurant at this address and wait for me. Give this list to the front desk, and the staff will take them to a private room."

Tang Xiaofen saw that she had already booked the private rooms, so she figured that she had planned this all along.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

"Well, thank you."

The three of them couldn't wait any longer. When they saw Tang Xiaofen in the distance, they jogged over to her.

"Girl, what did my Xiaotong say?"
