Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 707 - 700: The Final Struggle (Part 4)

"Two thousand bucks!" Mrs. Qiao exclaimed in shock. After all, two thousand bucks is equivalent to her monthly salary!

With the situation at this point, the villagers now understood what was going on. Apart from their envy of the Qiao family, there was nothing else.

Mrs. Qiao’s attitude had done a 180-degree turn. Just a moment ago, her face was full of anger, but now it was all bright and cheerful.

"Oh dear! Look at this mess, such a misunderstanding!"

Leng Yichen remained silent, casually tossed the broom in his hand to the ground, and walked into the Qiao Family home without a sideways glance.

Wang Hai also smiled at everyone and followed Leng Yichen inside.

Anyone with eyes could see that the younger one was the leader, and the older one was the follower.

The neighbor aunt, having changed her previous attitude, awkwardly walked over to Xiao Qiao and asked, "Who are these two people? They don’t seem ordinary to me! The way they dress and their demeanor, and that young one’s looks, he’s really handsome!"

Xiao Qiao was already annoyed with the neighbor aunt. She didn’t want to say anything, but Mrs. Qiao was curious too and wanted to know. Only then did Xiao Qiao speak, "They are from the city. The young one is the boss, the older one is the driver. They’re here to find someone."

"Who are they looking for?" Mrs. Qiao asked.

Xiao Qiao pouted, "Looking for the young boss’s wife."

"So he has a wife..." Mrs. Qiao felt a bit disappointed hearing Xiao Qiao’s words. Such a good man, if only he were her son-in-law, then she could proudly hold her head high in the village.

"Why would someone come to our godforsaken place to look for a wife? Did something happen to his wife?" the neighbor aunt asked curiously.

Xiao Qiao started to regret having said those things in front of the neighbor aunt, as Brother Hai had told her not to speak about their affairs. But now, Xiao Qiao had spoken without thinking.

"How would I know? If you’re curious, go ask yourself!" Xiao Qiao retorted at the neighbor aunt irritably, then said to Mrs. Qiao, "Mom, let’s go inside."

With that, Xiao Qiao pulled Mrs. Qiao back into the house.

"Hmph! What a thing!" the neighbor aunt spat towards the Qiao Family and angrily swung her arms as she returned home.

Upon entering the house, Xiao Qiao saw a mess on the floor. Wang Hai was squatting down, picking things up. Looking closely, those things all belonged to Leng Yichen and Wang Hai.

Xiao Qiao was shocked, "Mom! Did you do this?"

Mrs. Qiao nodded awkwardly, looking embarrassedly at Leng Yichen, "I didn’t know before, I thought this girl brought some shady man home, so... please don’t be angry!"

By then, Wang Hai had finished tidying up their stuff. Leng Yichen saw this and stood up, saying to Xiao Qiao, "We’ve disturbed you for the past few days. It’s our fault for not considering it thoroughly. We shouldn’t have stayed at the home of a single young woman, causing you trouble."

Xiao Qiao realized things were going the wrong way, quickly waved her hands, "It’s nothing, everything’s been explained clearly, it’s nothing!"

"Wang Hai and I won’t stay here anymore, so as not to affect you and your mom badly."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao got a bit anxious. Watching such a big benefactor about to leave, how could that be? If they stayed a few more days, maybe she could earn another thousand bucks. How could she let other villagers seize such a good deal?

"Xiao Qiao, you should persuade them." Mrs. Qiao whispered to Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao bit her lip; she didn’t want Leng Yichen to leave.

"Um, you all shouldn’t leave. Didn’t we agree to go up the mountain tomorrow? You’re all familiar with me, and I also have some knowledge about the person you’re looking for. If you change to another place now, won’t it delay tomorrow’s matters?"

Leng Yichen, who was initially ready to leave, changed his mind after hearing Xiao Qiao’s words. Changing places now would indeed affect tomorrow’s search.

Moreover, Xiao Qiao was the only one who had seen two of Wu Chengzu’s subordinates.

In the end, Leng Yichen decided to stay.

Seeing he wasn’t leaving, both Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
