Chapter 271: My wallet got stolen!
After returning to the country, Old Lady Xi had visited the Nei Family Mansion to chat with Old Lady Nei. When their conversation was getting exciting, she had accidentally mentioned her worries about her future granddaughter-in-law. She was afraid that her grandson would be deceived, but she was even more worried about her own relationship with her grandson. She did not want her to reveal anything inappropriate carelessly.
Old Lady Nei had grandchildren and even great-grandchildren who were all grown up. There was nothing for her to be unhappy about. She liked listening to her old friend’s problems and helping her solve them.
Old Lady Nei immediately gave Old Lady Xi a suggestion when she heard this. She told her to test Qin Yan by pretending to be a penniless old woman who was trying to get home after losing her wallet. She gave Old Lady Xi free acting lessons to help her because she was worried that she could not act convincingly and told her driver, Lil Fan, to take her to the Xi Family Mansion every day so that she could give Old Lady Xi acting lessons.
Old Lady Xi was unable to play any other character aside from the role of a lost old woman now. She was truly convincing when she acted.
When Old Lady Xi turned around, she immediately saw Qin Yan walking outside. The old woman stopped Qin Yan on the side of the road and grabbed her arm. She acted as though she was so panicked that she was nearly crying, "Young lady, please help me. Please help me. I’m not a scammer. My... My family is rich! Someone stole my wallet, but I don’t know where they went. I can’t go home now."
"Don’t you have a cell phone? You should contact your family so that they can come and get you," said Qin Yan.
"It was inside my bag as well," said Old Lady Xi as she gestured, "The bag was this size. It contained my money and my cell phone. A young man on a motorcycle snatched it and fled. I don’t remember my family member’s phone numbers because I’m too old! I don’t have any money with me now. I’ve walked for some time, but I can’t walk anymore. Nobody is willing to lend me even just one yuan!"
Qin Yan pondered before she said, "Why don’t I accompany you to the police station for now? You can make a police report."
Even if the old woman did not know the way back, at least the police could send her home.
