Chapter 89 Liu Tianqing: He thought it was his own charm, but it turned out to be all thanks to his
Fortunately, after being reminded, the police carefully examined Ms. Zhang's appearance and confirmed her true identity.
He immediately said to Sister Zhang, "Zhang Cuihua, you are suspected of multiple fraud cases. Please come with us."
Sister Zhang's face turned pale instantly, her legs went weak, and she was about to kneel on the ground.
Just then, the twenty old men who had been deceived by Sister Zhang immediately surrounded the three policemen.
"Officer, we also want to report a crime. This woman cheated me out of three years' worth of retirement pay."
"I was scammed for two years."
"I was scammed for eight months."
"I was lucky, I was only scammed for a month..."
"Officer, we old folks rely on our pensions to live. You must help us get our pensions back."
"Police officer..."
Three police officers were surrounded by a group of men in their sixties and seventies who called them "Uncle Police Officer," and all of them had stiff faces.
They're clearly only in their twenties, so why do they always call them uncles?
Whenever they encounter this situation, they really want to call the police!
This is going to be the death of them!
Liu Tianqing stared blankly at the group of elderly people, and his lips twitched slightly when he heard them calling him "Uncle Policeman".
Until a policeman pushed through the crowd and came to Liu Tianqing: "Please come with me to make a statement."
“I know this process well!” Liu Tianqing said, and quickly described the whole incident to the police.
She spoke with great enthusiasm, after all, it was her first time giving a statement and the other police officer didn't interrupt at all, allowing her to talk her fill.
The police were quite satisfied with the record, since there aren't many people who can talk so much and provide such detailed information when reporting a case.
Because there were quite a few onlookers, and the police took statements from everyone else, they left.
After the police left, everyone surrounded Liu Tianqing.
They all asked her questions at once.
"Girl, how did you find out about what Zhang Cuihua did?"
"Have you investigated the backgrounds of all the elderly people who have moved into the nursing home?"
"Little sister, what's your name? I've never seen you before."
"Little sister, what's your position at the nursing home? Should I talk to your supervisor and ask you to come and take care of me? Taking care of me is so easy."
"Girl, don't listen to his nonsense. He's the most fussy person in the whole nursing home. Several staff members have left because of him."
"You old geezer, if you keep spreading rumors, believe me, I really won't be polite to you!"
"Come on! Who's afraid of who?"
Just as the elderly people were about to start arguing, Sister Hong, who had just returned from seeing off the police, heard the argument from afar. Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately ran towards where Liu Tianqing was.
Liu Tianqing rolled his eyes speechlessly as he watched the elderly people arguing without regard for their surroundings.
She took a deep breath, focused her energy, and then yelled at the top of her lungs, "Quiet down! What are you all doing, making such a racket?"
Everyone at the scene fell silent.
Sister Hong was so startled by her that she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Liu Tianqing nodded in satisfaction, then smiled as he looked at the group of elderly people.
"I'm a new resident, currently living in room 188. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."
The scene fell silent; everyone stared at Liu Tianqing in disbelief.
Liu Tianqing waited for a while, and seeing that everyone was still in shock and confusion, he reluctantly broke the silence: "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Sister Liu trembled as she took Liu Tianqing's hand, her eyes full of sympathy: "Little sister, how old are you this year?"
Liu Tianqing: "I am twenty-one years old this year."
After she gave her age, the atmosphere became even stranger.
All the elderly people wore expressions that were quite complex, including regret, pity, and sympathy.
Some people even sighed slightly.
Sister Liu gently patted Liu Tianqing's hand, her voice gentle and kind: "Don't worry, now that you've moved into the nursing home, we're neighbors from now on. Come find me if you need anything."
Not to be outdone, Sister Ni grabbed Liu Tianqing's other hand and said, "Little sister, don't worry, with me, Sister Ni, here, no one will dare to bully you!"
Other elderly people also expressed their opinions.
"Little sister, come play with this old man whenever you're free. I'll teach you chess. I'm not bragging, but I'm the best chess player in the world..."
"You're just bragging. You lost to me this morning, little sister. Don't listen to him. Come find me, I'm pretty good at chess and Go..."
"And me, I'm really good at square dancing."
“You guys are just being ridiculous. Little sister’s physical condition isn’t good enough. She should practice Tai Chi with me to improve her health.”
……
The invitations left Liu Tianqing dizzy with delight. He wrote down the old people's phone numbers and house numbers, and promised to visit them later before finally sending them all away.
After the crowd dispersed, she took a deep breath, but before she could exhale, a woman with gleaming eyes appeared before her.
Sister Hong blinked and looked at Liu Tianqing with admiration: "How did you do it? Many of those elderly people are stubborn old men from our organization. How did you manage to get them to treat you so well?"
Liu Tianqing shrugged: "I'd love to know too. It's only my first day here. But maybe I'm just naturally likable~~"
When it comes to boasting, Liu Tianqing never holds back.
Hongjie was envious; she wished she had that kind of constitution...
Just as Liu Tianqing was showing off and Sister Hong was envious, the two vaguely heard an old man passing by point at Liu Tianqing and then say to the old man beside him:
"See that young girl? Her health problems are definitely serious. Think about it, she's only 21 and has to move into a nursing home, and she even chose a four-star option. It's obvious that she might have trouble taking care of herself."
"How did you know? She didn't look like anything was wrong..."
"What do you know? Young people these days are all good at makeup. If they want to, they can transform their faces into someone else's anytime."
"Are all young people these days this capable?"
"That's not..."
As the two elderly people, who thought they were speaking very quietly, actually talked loudly in front of the person in question, with mysterious expressions on their faces and as if they were very afraid of disturbing Liu Tianqing, they took small steps and carefully passed by Liu Tianqing and Sister Hong.
Liu Tianqing's smug face was already frozen, and she still thought it was her charm, but it turned out to be all due to her unwittingly playing the victim.
The envy on Sister Hong's face froze, and she quickly withdrew her envy message to Liu Tianqing. Now she wasn't envious at all.
Liu Tianqing rubbed his sun sign: "What does the four-star plan mean?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Sister Hong covered her mouth and coughed lightly. She blinked, feeling a little guilty, and then explained the differences in the star rating schemes to Liu Tianqing.
After figuring it out, Liu Tianqing took a breath, his face full of disbelief: "So, the plan I chose was actually intended for elderly people who are partially or completely paralyzed?"
Sister Hong nodded, but her expression showed a slight guilty conscience.
This part should have been explained to Liu Tianqing before he signed the contract, but in order to keep him, they completely forgot about it.
Fortunately, Liu Tianqing didn't seem to mind, though he felt a little embarrassed by his blunder: "No wonder those old people had such complicated expressions..."
After being disturbed like this, Liu Tianqing lost his desire to wander around and returned to his residence.
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on Liu Tianqing's door.
Liu Tianqing woke up groggily, his face still angry. He flung open the door and saw a familiar old man standing there. His anger instantly froze and dissipated.
This man was none other than Grandpa Zuo, who had invited Liu Tianqing to practice Tai Chi with him yesterday.
"Uncle Zuo, is there something you need so early in the morning?"
Grandpa Zuo greeted her warmly: "Young people shouldn't always sleep in late. The early bird catches the worm. You're weak. Starting today, you should practice Tai Chi with me every day. Your health will definitely improve."
"What?!" Liu Tianqing's breath hitched, staring at Grandpa Zuo in disbelief, before hurriedly refusing, "No! I want to sleep!"
However, looking at her worried face, Grandpa Zuo said, "Young lady, why are you so unwilling to listen to your elders? Back in my day..."
Liu Tianqing watched expressionlessly as Grandpa Zuo recounted the same life experiences he had just shared yesterday.
After he finished speaking, seeing that Liu Tianqing showed no sign of backing down, Grandpa Zuo silently began to repeat his life experiences.
After repeating this over and over again for the fifth time, Liu Tianqing was completely exasperated.
"Alright, alright, let's go practice Tai Chi."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Grandpa Zuo's face lit up with a bright smile.
Meanwhile, several elderly people hiding in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Tianqing change his clothes and follow Grandpa Zuo to the lawn behind the house.
"Oh! That girl is so pitiful..."
“That’s right. She’s living alone in a nursing home now, so she probably doesn’t have any family left. I didn’t even dare to mention it yesterday.”
“Who isn’t like that? I heard from the security guard that she came to complete the procedures by herself yesterday, and even had the staff of the nursing home carry her luggage.”
"If you have family, how could you be alone?"
“We should take good care of her from now on. She’s such a good girl. If it weren’t for her, who knows how many more people that rotten apple Zhang Cuihua would have fooled.”
"That's right, and she's so meticulous in her work. Even my idiot son can't be that meticulous."
"Who isn't? Such a smart daughter... what a pity..."
Liu Tianqing, who left with Grandpa Zuo, had no idea that he had become the pitiful little thing in the eyes of the entire nursing home.
Last night, a group of elderly people secretly held a small meeting to discuss how to properly guide the fragile Xiaoliu to exercise and to cultivate love for the world.
After a three-hour discussion, they finally decided that Grandpa Zuo would coax Liu Tianqing to practice Tai Chi every morning. After Tai Chi, everyone would take turns leading her in chess on Mondays, teaching her health preservation on Tuesdays, calligraphy on Wednesdays, and so on on Thursdays...
Then, in the evening, the elderly women living in the nursing home would come to her to dance in the square together.
At this moment, Liu Tianqing had no idea that the following days would bring even more devastating news.
She never imagined that, without her knowledge, her time from Monday to Sunday had been perfectly arranged by a group of enthusiastic elderly people, with not a single day wasted.
Everyone was worried that Liu Tianqing would be alone for too long.
Last night, Sister Hong tried to explain for Liu Tianqing, but these stubborn old people simply wouldn't believe her.
They only believe what they see.
Liu Tianqing didn't know Tai Chi, so he could only follow Uncle Zuo's example and try his best to replicate it perfectly.
Although Grandpa Zuo moved slowly, he carried considerable strength, and Liu Tianqing could tell at a glance that this man was a trained martial artist.
Grandpa Zuo watched in amazement as Liu Tianqing went from initially struggling to keep up to eventually controlling the rhythm by coordinating his breathing with his body movements.
I was very excited and had the urge to take on apprentices.
This was the person he had ever met who possessed exceptional talent in practicing Tai Chi.
An hour and a half after finishing their Tai Chi practice, the two wiped the sweat from their faces and walked back.
After walking only a few steps, he saw a man in racing gear leaning against a pillar, looking at Liu Tianqing with great interest.
Liu Tianqing's gaze met his... hmm, it was someone he didn't recognize...
Then she quietly shifted her gaze, preparing to say goodbye to Grandpa Zuo.
Just then, System Abai suddenly shouted excitedly, "Melon! Melon!!! This melon is explosive!!!"
Liu Tianqing: "Have you switched from a narration system to a melon patch system now?"
System Abai: "I'm just a narration system, but that doesn't mean I don't watch the drama unfold~~~"
Just as she was talking to the system, a man wearing glasses and casual clothes approached the man in racing suit.
Grandpa Zuo tugged at Liu Tianqing: "Let me introduce you. This is my unfilial grandson, Zuo Jinrong."
After saying that, he introduced Liu Tianqing to Zuo Jinrong: "This is our new resident of the nursing home, his name is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Jinrong interrupted him and continued, "Call him Liu Tianqing."
Grandpa Zuo was surprised: "You two know each other!"
Before Liu Tianqing could speak, Zuo Jinrong laughed first: "I don't know him, but I've heard this name all over the place..."
Not only is she incredibly beautiful and skilled in combat, but she also has a mouth that could offend everyone at any moment.
He never expected to run into the other person at the nursing home.
Just then, the bespectacled man next to Zuo Jinrong glanced at Liu Tianqing, his eyes full of disdain.
He already thought he was shameless, but this actor in front of him was even more shameless, moving directly into the retirement home so that he could easily get in touch with these important figures.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why hadn't he thought of this method back then?
System Abai reminded again: "See that man staring at you fiercely? That's his melon~~~ Do you know what a 'skyrocket' is? He's fired a skyrocket~~~ Moreover, after this incident, it will implicate Grandpa Zuo's grandson, Zuo Jinrong."
Liu Tianqing: "?? Is it the one I was thinking of???"
System Abai: "Yes, yes, it's the one with colors. How about it? Haven't seen it before?"
Liu Tianqing looked at the bespectacled man with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. She admitted that she, who was as steady as a mountain, had been taken in by the system's sudden burst of power.
“Start narration for the two.”
The system, Ah Bai, excitedly said, "Target locked, narration projected, please narrate as soon as possible."
After glancing at the narration, Liu Tianqing's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp.
They looked at the bespectacled man as if he were a magical creature.
He asked with great curiosity, "Yuan Kaiyuan, what does a skyrocket taste like?"
