Chapter 985: Chapter 985
Hearing the invitation from the sisters Qiao Dongna and Georgina, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but start to wonder if these two were still just acting?
Now Zhang Yang could basically conclude that the person who found these two sisters was undoubtedly Guo Qiyu.
And these sisters were greedy people, after all.
They are also the type to play with men’s feelings for money.
Are such people even worth trusting?
Not only did Zhang Yang think this way, but Shen Mange also had a guarded expression; however, in front of Shen Jiayi, it was hard to say anything directly, so she could only tactfully say:
“No need, we will find a way ourselves now, so we won’t drag you down.”
Qiao Dongna and Georgina could also see that they were not trusted.
They were somewhat saddened and helpless; Georgina, who was more straightforward, directly said:
“I know you don’t trust us right now, but we really aren’t lying this time.”
“We genuinely care about Shen Jiayi.”
Qiao Dongna sighed helplessly and then pulled Georgina along.
“Forget it, it’s our fault first.”
Then she said to Zhang Yang and Shen Mange, “Since Shen Jiayi is fine now, we will leave first.”
“If you need anything, contact us anytime, if you’re willing to trust us.”
Shen Jiayi hesitated a bit; she wanted to say that she was willing to trust Qiao Dongna and Georgina.
She believed her own judgment was good, even though the two had done wrong today.
But they were still worried about her in their hearts, though Shen Jiayi didn’t want to worry Zhang Yang and her sister.
But just then, the sound of police sirens suddenly came through.
Zhang Yang immediately became alert and looked around, discovering a few people watching them from far away.
It seemed these people found them and chose to call the police.
Zhang Yang was somewhat helpless and couldn’t blame these passersby; after all, in their eyes, he was a fugitive now.
“The place you two are taking us to, is it big enough for all of us?”
Qiao Dongna immediately nodded, “Yes, and it’s very safe there, no one will find out.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang looked at Shen Jiayi, “It’s up to you since they’re your friends.”
Shen Jiayi immediately said, “I trust them.”
Qiao Dongna and Georgina were very touched; in this situation, Shen Jiayi was still willing to trust them, it brought tears to their eyes.
“Come on, let’s take the small path over here.”
The two seemed quite experienced in escaping, and they seemed quite familiar with the area, leading them through a small park path onto the main road.
Then they took two unregistered taxis, why unregistered? Because they can’t be traced.
Although they spent a little extra money, they safely arrived at their destination.
It was a farmhouse with many rooms inside, and the courtyard was quite spacious.
Shen Jiayi curiously asked, “Is this your home?”
Both nodded at the same time, Qiao Dongna said, “Excuse us, we just grew up quite poor.”
This place seemed like one of those urban villages; Georgina explained, “This village doesn’t have many people left, mostly elders, the young folks have all left, and outsiders rarely come here, even though it’s not far from the city, no one wants to come.”
“So you can stay here without worry, for as long as you like; there are plenty of rooms, as long as you don’t mind.”
Zhang Yang didn’t care; he came from a rural background, too.
Though Shen Mange wasn’t used to it, he wasn’t too spoiled either, having endured all sorts of hardships during filming.
To Zhang Yang’s surprise, Liang Yanyun readily adapted, showing strong adaptability.
Zhang Yang approached Georgina and Georgina, “We won’t stand on ceremony, but in light of what you two have done before, hand over your phones.”
Shen Jiayi wanted to plead on their behalf, but a glare from Zhang Yang stopped her.
Qiao Dongna and Georgina exchanged a glance but didn’t refuse, obediently handing their phones to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang handed them over to Liang Yanyun for safekeeping.
With that, everyone could feel slightly more at ease, at least tentatively confirming the sisters as harmless for now.
However, when choosing rooms, Liang Yanyun suddenly suggested, “For safety’s sake, we should all stay in one room.”
Shen Mange looked at Liang Yanyun skeptically, guessing that she might still want an excuse to stay with Zhang Yang.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang agreed, but he offered an explanation too.
“Liang Yanyun is right, it’s safer this way, and I can look out for everyone.”
The women all recalled Zhang Yang’s earlier feats of taking on a hundred alone and didn’t object.
Qiao Dongna and Georgina picked the biggest room without hesitation.
After all, poor families like them didn’t have beds, only mats on the floor, so they rolled out several blankets in the spacious room.
Indeed, it didn’t feel crowded at all.
It actually felt quite cozy, and Zhang Yang was secretly delighted, being the only man here was truly blissful.
He felt the air in the room was fragrant.
Shen Jiayi insisted on sleeping next to Zhang Yang, without the slightest shyness, which made Shen Mange feel embarrassed but also somewhat envious.
She couldn’t bring herself to say such things.
So Zhang Yang chose the spot next to the wall, with Shen Jiayi next to him.
Qiao Dongna and Georgina slept beside Shen Jiayi, with Shen Mange and Liang Yanyun flanking them.
The twin sisters were sandwiched in the middle, allowing any suspicious movement to be promptly detected.
The sisters understood this but didn’t refuse.
“Want some late-night snacks? How about ramen?”
Zhang Yang said, “Let’s have hotpot.”
Georgina asked, “Can we put ramen in the hotpot?”
Zhang Yang laughed at that; this girl really loved ramen.
“Sure, it’s up to you, this is your home after all.”
Seeing Zhang Yang agree, Georgina was very happy, evident in how both sisters were somewhat intimidated by Zhang Yang.
Nonetheless, everyone sat down for a meal, and the tense atmosphere eased significantly.
Shen Mange curiously asked, “You guys don’t look like you’re short on money, so why live here?”
From the signs of life here, it was clear the sisters were settled here.
“Because this is our home, and we actually don’t have much money.” Qiao Dongna said somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhang Yang asked, “It can’t be. With all the boyfriends you two have conned over the years, shouldn’t you have made millions by now?”
