Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 101: Avoiding the Elderly
After coming out, no one was watching them, a rare moment of freedom.
"Young man..."
A voice suddenly called out to Dylan Graham, and he looked up to see an old woman in tattered clothes, looking extremely pitiful.
"Have mercy on me, I haven’t eaten in days, can you buy me something to eat?"
Dylan Graham always felt for such impoverished and helpless elderly people, it reminded him of the most difficult times he spent with his grandmother in the countryside.
The person in front of him was just like his grandmother.
Even if there was a chance she was a con artist, Dylan Graham wouldn’t overthink it; even if she was, then it would just be one less pitiful old person.
He couldn’t bear it, and immediately prepared to take out money: "Granny, why are you here alone? Where are your family members? I’ll give you money, go buy yourself something to eat."
This kind of granny probably wouldn’t use a smartphone, but fortunately, he still had a hundred yuan bill in his wallet.
Just as he handed the money over, the old woman suddenly grabbed his hand, her seemingly frail frame held surprising strength. She still maintained that pitiful look: "I... I don’t want the money, it’s too much, good child, you’re such a good child, just take me to the front, to buy a bowl of noodles. I don’t want that much money, I’m just too hungry, just need a bowl of noodles."
Dylan Graham paid no attention to her dirty palm, patiently saying: "It’s okay, granny, I’ll give you this hundred yuan, if you save it you’ll be able to eat a few more meals. Where is your family? Do you need me to call the police for help?"
The hand holding his suddenly stiffened, the old woman quickly shook her head: "Young man, really no need, just take me to the front and buy a bowl of noodles, I’m not a con artist, I don’t want that much money from you, just hand over the money when I order the noodles."
She pointed to a street ahead.
Whether there was a noodle shop there, Dylan Graham didn’t know.
She spoke very pitiably, her voice was also weak, Dylan Graham wondered if she didn’t want to be thought of as scamming money, therefore she wanted him to buy a bowl of noodles.
While he was hesitating, the old woman was pulling him to walk forward, at that moment, Dylan Graham felt a strange feeling, and a phrase suddenly popped into his mind.
[Avoid elderly.]
His thought these days was that it would be better not to encounter elderly people, but now that he had, this phrase abruptly popped into his head.
Dylan Graham, as if burned by fire, shook off the old woman’s hand.
Only then did he realize the old woman had gripped him very tightly, surprisingly he couldn’t shake off her grasp, not like someone who didn’t have the strength from not eating.
With a smile, Dylan Graham exerted force to break free from the old woman: "Granny, I’ll give you money to go buy a bowl of noodles yourself, I won’t go."
"I’m really not after your money, just buying me a bowl of noodles will do, I don’t want so much."
The old woman became anxious, pulling him as if to go over there. If it had been before, Dylan Graham would have softened up front and agreed, but now seeing her getting more anxious, his suspicions inside grew larger, after all, he’s a young guy, keeping distance from the old woman, holding that hundred yuan, saying: "You can take the money out, but I’m not going with you. If you need help, I’ll call the police for you right now."
The old woman, ashamed and furious, seemed to curse him in dialect, then coldly snatched the money and left.
He couldn’t understand what she said.
Watching the old woman’s departing figure, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
He called Ethan Chase, then went into the mall to find him.
When they came back out, Dylan Graham saw that the old woman from before was holding the hand of a young girl, leading her towards the front, and they instantly disappeared around the corner.
