Chapter 304 Youth Variations 14

Tao Ran successfully took the borrowed 10,000 yuan and left the Chen family with a purchase order worth 80,000 yuan.

Mother Chen knew that this method of making money by cutting first and telling later was mostly a one-shot deal. Instead of being cautious and making a drop in the bucket, it was better to give it a go.

However, she was so brave that she only dared to invest so much. This batch of goods requires advance payment, which is almost all the savings she has available now.

In order to reassure her, Tao Ran even said that if her father made a fuss, even if she paid the bill personally, she would still be able to absorb the goods worth tens of thousands of dollars. With such a promise, Chen Ma's last doubts were almost dispelled.

After all, the two children have been best friends for many years. This Xiao Xiao will definitely not harm her family...

Tao Ran was not in a hurry to go home, but found a private clinic.

After giving her two hundred yuan, the doctor on duty followed her request, applied medicine and bandaged her at the designated location.

She bought makeup at a convenience store and painted a few bruises and bruises on her face before returning home.

In the old house, Xiao Changlin was still waiting there.

He was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, fearing that the police would call.

Seeing Xiao Xiao coming back, Xiao Changlin finally felt relieved.

"Xiao Xiao, where have you been? Why are you coming back now?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Tao Ran also brought a bag of medicine. "Hospital, look at injuries, examine injuries, and treat injuries."

"You...you didn't call the police?"

"not yet."

"That's good." Xiao Changlin breathed out. Only then did he notice Xiao Xiao's injury.

Her leg was limping and badly injured. Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, and she was pitiful. She smelled of disinfectant and obviously had a lot of injuries.

Glancing at her medicines, they were all anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and ointments for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

"These injuries...were all caused by that woman Zhang Hong?"

"You don't believe me?"

"No, no. Dad just can't believe that she would be so cruel to you." Xiao Changlin didn't lie about this. He was indeed shocked. Although he didn't like this daughter, he never thought of hurting her like this.

"If you had seen the surveillance, you shouldn't have asked me that. These injuries couldn't be self-inflicted, right?"

"Dad has seen the surveillance."

Xiao Changlin's face darkened.

On the surveillance camera, he saw Zhang Hong push her daughter down on the shelf after saying something to her; he also saw Zhang Hong fiercely banging on the door outside the study and making phone calls after her daughter entered the study...

Although Zhang Hong kept denying that she had ever beaten Xiao Xiao, what about Xiao Xiao's current injuries? There were only two of them at home at that time! How could my daughter put herself in trouble for a servant?

I think he always thought Zhang Hong was quite honest, but the recording of Zhang Hong's insults that Xiao Xiao sent to him clearly told him that behind the unknown, this person has two different faces! Vicious, rampant, arrogant, excessive...

Xiao Changlin rushed to the old house and found that Yu Ming was indeed lying in bed with a severe cold, which showed that Xiao Xiao was not lying. It was just two boxes of nutritional supplements, so there was no need for Zhang Hong to stop them.

He was indeed angry.

Zhang Hong was introduced to the family by Dong Ping. What kind of bad person is he?

And how could Dong Ping let such a person come to her home?

What kind of thoughts did her wife instill in her on daily basis that made her be so cruel to her daughter? For this reason, he had a big quarrel with Dong Ping not long ago...

"Don't worry, dad will make the decision for you. Aunt Zhang has been fired. In the future, the aunts in the family will be carefully selected, and dad will choose them himself. Your Aunt Dong Ping and dad have also taught her a lesson. This time, you should be more generous first, and wait. After you go home, we can sit down and chat as a family. Come on, cell phone."

Xiao Changlin took Tao Ran's cell phone and personally tied a high-value credit card to Xiao Xiao's account. "Stop saying dad is biased. You can also swipe your credit card from now on. Dad treats everyone equally and will never be biased."

After tying the card, Xiao Changlin rummaged and operated on his daughter's mobile phone.

He deleted the photos that Tao Ran had taken and started looking for the surveillance data that Tao Ran had transferred...

"Don't bother. I've backed it up. There's no point in deleting it on my phone."

Tao Ran snatched the phone. "I didn't even bring back the medical records from the hospital. If you want, you can go to each hospital to investigate. But don't worry, since I took your money, I won't call the police for the time being. I'm sleepy and went to sleep. "

Then Tao Ran returned to the room.

Xiao Changlin could only leave in anger...

The semi-finals start in three days.

As long as he wins, he can keep the top two in the province.

With such an honor, even if there is no single award, there is still a high chance of being admitted to the target high school. So there is no room for error in the next game.

Therefore, in the past two days, Tao Ran spent all his time playing football.

Xiao Xiao has played football for several years and has very good skills. What Tao Ran has to do is to get Xiao Xiao's ball sense back. And this is not difficult, it is something that requires patience and time.

No, after these two days of training, Tao Ran felt that she had found the feeling. After she integrated her skills, it was basically difficult for other players on the team to intercept her ball in one-on-one situations.

Chen Yinyin didn't come to training these two days. Her mother ordered 80,000 yuan worth of goods in one go. She was helping her mother arrange and pick up the goods.

Tao Ran just suggested that Fang Mingliang find a substitute for the goalkeeper.

Because the team's performance broke the school record, the team received strong support from the school and also received sponsorship from two companies in the city. No, the teams that used to be unpopular have become popular these days, and many people have come to sign up and want to participate.

Fang Mingliang was very concerned about the team he led and learned the lessons that the three main players unexpectedly missed in the previous game. This time he recruited eight new players with excellent sports performance and conducted devilish training every day.

Even though it's just temporary arrangements, it's better than having no one available to play...

The day before the competition, Mother Chen also prepared goods and wanted to deliver goods to the Xiao family.

Tao Ran refused, saying that she had to prepare for the competition and had no time to deal with this matter at the moment. The two agreed to wait until the game was over before delivering the goods.

Game day finally arrived.

Early in the morning, everyone on the football team got on the bus prepared by the school and headed to the provincial capital for the afternoon game.

As usual, Chen Yinyin sat next to Tao Ran from the moment she got in the car.

Her whole body was tense, and Tao Ran couldn't ignore the tension that was visible to the naked eye.

Tao Ran knew that if Chen Yinyin wanted to help Dong Yun, he would either prevent her from playing or make her lose. But given the outcome of the last game where she couldn't lose even if she wanted to, there is a high probability that Chen Yinyin can only choose the former option.

As long as Xiao Xiao, the absolute main force and shooter, cannot play, this game will definitely be lost. Even if he wins, Xiao Xiao's name is not on the list of semi-finalists. Xiao Xiao's efforts will probably come to nothing.

So after Tao Ran made a good psychological preparation, he just waited for Chen Yinyin to attack him.
