Chapter 622: Chapter 622: My Brother Is the Most Handsome
Rong Xiaoyi lifted her head, looking eagerly at Junjun, then at Momo.
Can’t deny...
These two big brothers are really handsome.
Momo noticed Rong Xiaoyi staring at him eagerly and couldn’t help but chuckle, curving his lips as he asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Junjun also looked at Rong Xiaoyi.
Rong Xiaoyi nervously shrugged her shoulders and retorted, "Can’t I look at you?"
Momo said, "Sure, you can."
Rong Xiaoyi: "Because you’re really handsome."
Momo: "..."
He didn’t expect such an answer from Rong Xiaoyi.
Junjun raised an eyebrow, tilted his head, and asked, "Am I handsome too?"
Rong Xiaoyi nodded like pounding garlic: "You both look really good!"
Momo couldn’t help but feel a bit mischievous: "Who do you think looks better between us?"
Junjun heard this and glanced at him.
This Momo, deliberately putting her in a tough spot!
This question really stumped Rong Xiaoyi!
How should she answer?
Could she say both of them have their own unique charm?
Momo’s features were the delicate, spirited type, while Junjun’s appearance leaned more towards a brave look.
If she had to choose...
Rong Xiaoyi said, "In my heart, my brother is the most handsome! I really can’t tell who’s better looking between the two of you, but anyway, you both look better than me."
Hearing this, Junjun smiled.
Momo also smiled, "Is your name Rong Xiaoyi?"
Rong Xiaoyi nodded.
Momo squatted down, looking at her at eye level, "Xiaoyi, you are very cute, do you know that?"
Rong Xiaoyi’s eyes widened.
From childhood until now, it was the first time someone seriously complimented her for being cute.
Rong Xiaoyi’s face turned red up to her ears, "Thank you..."
Momo raised his hand and gently ruffled her hair.
It was obvious she was too thin, maybe even malnourished, so he only dared to gently tousle her hair without using any force.
After a while, Lin Qi returned holding Han’s hand.
She looked at Rong Xiaoyi and asked, "Xiaoyi, would you like to come home with us first?"
She had left her contact information at the police station.
If Xiaoyi’s brother couldn’t find her and contacted the police, they would provide him with their contact details.
Rong Xiaoyi didn’t expect Lin Qi to be so considerate. Even though they were strangers, the uncle and aunt not only rescued her but also willingly took her home.
Rong Xiaoyi asked, "Would it trouble you? Otherwise... I can wait at the police station for my brother to pick me up."
Lin Qi said, "If you stay here, the uncles at the police station are very busy, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to take good care of you. You must be hungry; come to Auntie’s house and eat first, fill your belly, okay?"
Rong Xiaoyi’s eyes twinkled, "Auntie, you are truly a good person."
Lin Qi was amused by her innocent tone, "No, perhaps because Auntie also has a daughter..."
Rong Xiaoyi obediently followed Lin Qi home.
...
Rong Ling handled the paperwork and rushed to the school gate, but didn’t see Rong Xiaoyi there.
He entered the school and went to the classroom door, but by then, school was already over, and the classroom was empty except for a few boys playing around.
He knocked gently on the door and walked in, asking around, "Have any of you seen Xiaoyi?"
One boy said, "After school, Xiaoyi went home."
Suddenly, another boy said, "Earlier, when I was buying something at the school gate, I saw someone looking for Xiaoyi, trying to take her away."
Rong Ling suddenly tensed up, "Who was it?"
The boy shook his head, "I don’t know. I’ve never seen them before, but they looked fierce..."
Oh no...
Could it be... debt collectors?
Rong Ling gritted his teeth and rushed out of the classroom.
He hurried back home as fast as he could, only to find the door lock was broken.
His heart sank immediately with a bad premonition.
"Xiaoyi..."
He broke in, only to be shocked by the mess inside.
The rented house was already shabby, a semi-basement structure, barely sufficient as a rental.
After moving in, Rong Ling hadn’t added much furniture to the home. The original simple furniture was turned upside down, smashed, and destroyed; everything on the table was overturned onto the floor, making the house look like a wreck.
"Xiaoyi?"
He called Xiaoyi’s name as he walked into the bedroom, casually opening the closet, only to find it scattered messily too, but no sign of Xiaoyi.
It seems that...
Their current place has been found.
For so long, they had been avoiding debt collectors.
These debts were never theirs, but the collectors knew their father couldn’t possibly repay them in his condition, so they pursued Rong Ling relentlessly, holding him accountable for his father’s debts.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to repay them.
Recently, he had gradually repaid the principal amount, only to discover that his father had taken on a high-interest loan, with interest compounding to an unimaginable number, making it a bottomless pit.
He had just dropped out of college, without a stable job, Xiaoyi was still in school, and he had to support his sister, making it impossible to pay off the debt.
But the debt collectors, fierce as tigers, chased him relentlessly, refusing to let go.
Rong Ling took out his phone, his hand trembling.
Xiaoyi...
Xiaoyi must be safe.
Otherwise, he didn’t know what he would do.
Rong Ling called the police, explaining the situation, and on the other end, a steady and strong voice of a policeman said, "Your name is Rong Ling?"
Rong Ling responded, "Yes..."
Police: "Rest assured, your sister is fine. A kind person took her home; she left contact information, and I’ll give it to you so you can contact them directly."
Rong Ling nodded, "Okay. Thank you,"
He hung up the phone and immediately dialed the number the police had given him.
When the call connected, a gentle female voice came through, "Hello?"
Rong Ling’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he politely said, "Hello, may I ask if this is... Mrs. Huo?"
Lin Qi replied, "Yes, who is this?"
Rong Ling: "My name is Rong Ling, I’m Xiaoyi’s brother. The police said Xiaoyi is at your house."
Lin Qi: "Xiaoyi’s brother? ...Yes, Xiaoyi is with us here. Do you have time to pick her up now? She’s waiting for you."
Rong Ling: "Sure! Could you send me the location?"
Lin Qi: "Shall I text you? No rush, take your time, Xiaoyi has already eaten here and is playing with my son."
Rong Ling: "Thank you."
After hanging up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyi being safe is all that matters.
