He even helped his girlfriend buy sanitary napkins yesterday!
The siblings arrived at the scrapyard in the slums together with Xeno and Nash. Seeing their mother, Derek and Yasmin hurriedly went up to help her.
âMomâ¦â
When the old lady saw both of them, she was overjoyed. âDerry, Yasmin, why are you two back?â
The siblings only had two days off each month. They usually lived in the factory dormitory and only returned at the end of the month.
âMom! We brought guests!â Derek said as he glanced over at Nash.
Margaret followed his gaze and looked over. When she saw them driving an Audi, her expression darkened. The people who came to collect debts from them before drove an Audi.â Derry, did you get yourself into more debt?â
Derek whispered, âMom, theyâre from the Young family!â
A shiver ran through Margaret when she heard the words âYoung familyâ. She immediately slapped Derek across the face angrily and said, âYoung family, old family, bah! Get them out of hereâ¦â
The Young family suffered a massacre so devastating that one could imagine the strength of the perpetrator. They did not dare reveal their connection to the Young family so easily.
A hand cradling his face, Derek said aggrievedly, âMom, they really are from the Young family. They even have the ring that Grandpa painted!â
âMom, weâve already tested them. Theyâre good people!â Yasmin added.
Hesitating for a moment, Margaret then asked, âDid you really see the ring?â
Derek rubbed his reddened face, sounding very aggrieved. âTake a look at it yourself. Isnât he wearing it on his hand?â
Margaret turned her head to look at Nash again.
Nash raised his hand to rub the bridge of his nose. It seemed unintentional, but it was actually a deliberate move to let the woman see the ring.
Margaretâs eyes narrowed slowly. âIt looks like it really is the ringâ¦â
For safety reasons, she asked the siblings how they met Nash. Yasmin recounted their experience in detail.
Xeno shook his head and said, âThis lady is quite cautious!â
Nash just smiled and replied, âCaution is a good thing. If the Klein familyâs people were to find them, they could be in danger!â
It took a while before Margaret finally believed her childrenâs words. She then asked Yasmin to take Nash and Xeno to their home while Derek stayed behind to help his mother with the scrap collection.

The slum resembled a vast courtyard, with simple, shabby houses on all four sides. These houses were all one-bedroom, one-living-room, one-bathroom units, barely suitable for a family of three or a couple. The doors were made of wood and painted red.
Opening the door, Yasmin led the two of them into the living room and said, âPlease have a seat. Iâll go boil some water and prepare tea.â
The room was simple but clean.
On the wall hung a black and white memorial photo of an elderly man dressed in a suit. His not -large eyes exuded a sort of captivating charisma. Below the memorial photo was an ancestral tablet with the name Caleb Judd.
Nash casually asked, âIs this your grandfather?â
Yasmin took out an electric kettle and replied, âYes, thatâs my grandfather. He passed away two years ago.â
Nash closed his eyes and offered a prayer. Caleb Judd was a trusted aide of the Young family, after all, so it was only fitting for him to offer his respect.
Just then, there was a manâs voice outside the door. âYasmin.â It was a young man with wildflowers in his hand, and he approached with a smile. He was dressed in an ill-fitting suit and had slicked-back hair shining with hair gel.
When he saw the two strangers in the living room, the man frowned and asked, âYasmin, who are these people?â
Yasmin took out a box of tea leaves and prepared some tea using disposable cups. âYouâve quite the sharp nose. I only just got back and you already know Iâm here?â she replied casually.
âWell, I did catch your unique body scent the moment you entered the neighborhood!â âYou damn rat, can you stop grossing me out?â
