The elderly lady stood arrogantly beside the car, looking at Wang Chao's house with her head held high and disdain in her eyes. "With such valuable jade, she still lives in this rundown place. I can't fathom what she's thinking."
This was Wang Chao's ancestral home in the old city district, located in a remote area with lots of garbage littering the sides of the road, emitting a foul smell.
Cockroaches scurried everywhere!
Occasionally, one or two rats would run through the alleys.
If it weren't for Li Han's Guanyin jade statue, even if she was given money, she wouldn't come to such a shabby place.
This environment is simply uninhabitable!
Li Hong stepped out of the driver's seat and retrieved some cheaply packaged but upscale-looking gifts from the trunk. He glanced at the surroundings, sneering, "They guard such expensive things but live in a place like this."
"People in desperate poverty have no understanding or taste!"
"Put away your thoughts for now and be more welcoming. Don't let them suspect our intentions," the elderly lady instructed.
"Mom, don't worry, I'll handle it."
Li Hong smiled and said, "Look, I even packaged these gifts nicely. They haven't seen much of the world, so they probably won't notice. They might even be grateful."
"After all, they don't deserve to enjoy those high-end gifts."
"Enough talking. Go knock on the door quickly," the impatient elderly lady waved her hand.
Li Hong nodded, holding the gifts in his hands, and walked through the alley to Wang Chao's house, starting to knock on the door.
As he knocked, he called out, "Is anyone home?"
The elderly lady covered her mouth and nose with a scented handkerchief, following behind Li Hong, looking around with a disgusted expression.
This place was utterly rotten.
She couldn't understand how Li Han managed to live here before. Peasants are truly adaptable, with strong adaptability!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Is anyone home?" Li Hong continued to knock on the door, his brows slightly furrowed.
He had been calling out for so long, why was there still no response?
"Not at home?" The elderly lady frowned.
"They might really be out."
Li Hong nodded and asked, "Mom, could it be that they somehow found out about our intentions and deliberately went out to avoid us?"
"Are you an idiot? How would she know that we would come?" the elderly lady scolded him with a glare.
"Then why isn't anyone home?"
"They might be out for something. Ask the neighbors."
Helpless, Li Hong had no choice but to leave the gifts behind and go ask the neighbors of Wang Chao's house.
After about five minutes, he returned with a gloomy expression on his face, looking displeased.
"What's wrong?" the elderly lady asked.
Li Hong's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "Mom, they didn't go out. That despicable Li Han moved away to avoid us directly!"
"Moved away? Where did she go?" the elderly lady's expression changed.
Li Hong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The Wang AnGuo family hadn't disclosed to anyone where they had moved, and even the neighbors were unaware.
"Quick, call her and ask for the address," the elderly lady panicked and urged.
Li Hong took out his phone and was about to call Li Han when he realized that he hadn't saved Li Han and Wang AnGuo's numbers. His expression turned ugly. "Mom, I don't have their numbers."
He had always been wealthy and had a deep disdain for Li Han and the Wang AnGuo family. Not to mention saving their phone numbers, he didn't even want to mention Li Han or Wang AnGuo's names. It felt beneath him to do so.
"Then think of a way, ask someone else for Li Han's number. She is our breakthrough," the elderly lady hurriedly said.
Li Hong nodded and contacted other members of the Li family. After some effort, he finally obtained Li Han's number and dialed it urgently.
The result? The call couldn't connect!
The elderly lady also tried calling from her phone, but it was also unsuccessful.
"Damn it! Mom, she has blocked us!" Li Hong exclaimed angrily.
"This despicable woman! I raised her with so much effort, and she dares to treat us like this?" the elderly lady also became furious.
They had always been superior in Li Han's presence, and they're the ones who blocked and mistreated Li Han.
Now that Li Han had blocked them, they were suddenly filled with rage, feeling that they had lost all their superiority in front of her.
In reality, they didn't know that it was all the doing of Wang Chao.
After returning from Kao Shan City, Wang Chao had used his mother's phone to block all the members of the Li family.
He had seen through the true faces of the Li family members. None of them genuinely cared for Li Han. Relatives like them were better off not being around.
"If she doesn't let us find her, then I will find her anyway!"
The elderly lady's gaze turned cold as she said, "Li Hong, find a way to contact her children. I refuse to believe that we can't find her."
Li Hong quickly reached out to contact them, and soon, he managed to reach Wang Baoqi, who was preparing for the college entrance exams.
On the day of the celebration, Wang Baoqi was absent and had no idea what had happened.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Wang Baoqi asked.
"Mom, we've reached them."
Li Hong was overjoyed and immediately handed the phone to the elderly lady.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTaking the phone, the elderly lady was about to speak when she suddenly looked puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Which child of Li Han is this? What's her name?"
She had never paid any attention to Li Han and knew very little about her, including how many children she had and their names.
"Wang Baoqi, in the third year of high school," Li Hong whispered.
Upon hearing this, the elderly lady understood. She tried to make her voice sound gentle and cheerful as she said, "Baoqi, I'm your grandmother. We wanted to visit your mom, but your family moved, and we could not find where you are."
"Can you tell Grandma where your family is living now?"
Unaware of what had happened in Kao Shan City, Wang Baoqi had no defenses against the elderly lady and Li Hong. He directly shared the address of their new home, saying, "Grandma, I have upcoming exams, so I can not talk for long."
"Alright, alright. Study well, Grandma loves you."
The elderly lady was overjoyed. After silently noting down the address, she immediately hung up the phone. The smile on her face suddenly froze, and she coldly said, "Let's go. We're going to Li Han's new home. I desire to see how long she can hide from me!"
Li Hong nodded and quickly put the gifts back into the car. They drove straight to Wang Chao's new home.
When the two of them arrived at the front gate of Wang Chao's new home and saw the mansion and the yard, their mouths dropped open in shock.
"This... is Wang AnGuo's home?" Li Hong's pupils contracted, and he was dumbfounded.
The elderly lady stared at the towering five-story building and its luxurious decoration, completely astonished.
This place was much more luxurious than the house they had bought in Baiying Country!
"Mom, are you sure this address is correct? Could it be that Wang Baoqi, that little bastard, tricked us?" Li Hong struggled to swallow.
In his impression, Li Han's family was truly poor, but this mansion was not only tall but also had a yard and a swimming pool. It occupied a vast area. Even in the old city area, it would cost at least tens of millions.
How could Li Han's family afford such a luxurious mansion?
The elderly lady also realized and clenched her teeth. Shamelessly, she said, "That's right, that little bastard must have tricked us. No money but still wanting face, lying and deceiving people. It's utterly shameless!"
"They could not afford this kind of mansion even if they sold their entire family."
"It seems that their family has been truly malicious, constantly evading us. That Wang Baoqi is truly despicable!"
"Let's go. We'll continue to find ways to locate them and snatch back that precious jade. It was originally ours!"
Just as they're about to leave, the door of the mansion suddenly opened, and Wang Chao walked out.
Upon seeing them, Wang Chao's gaze turned cold. "What are you doing here?"
