Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling
Chapter 603: The Three Thespian SiblingsTang Xiaonan and Patrick had been waiting for a while, but Jim Thorne still hadn’t returned. Patrick brought Tang Xiaonan over to look for him, and from far away, they heard the booming voice of his hopeless younger brother. Patrick couldn’t help the corner of his mouth from twitching. ’If Grandpa heard this, he’d definitely break Jim’s legs.’
’Of all the things to talk about, he just had to bring up Grandpa’s health. That’s the one thing Grandpa can’t stand hearing about.’
"Jim, what happened?" Patrick Thorne asked as he walked over, holding Tang Xiaonan’s hand.
Jim Thorne looked up, gave them a quick wink, and blurted out, "Cousin, I’m going to jail... Take this medicine back to Grandpa for me. Don’t tell him the truth. He’s an old man; he won’t be able to handle it..."
’I just told them I came alone,’ he thought. ’Can’t let them blow my cover.’
Luckily, the two brothers were frequent partners in crime and shared a tacit understanding. Patrick Thorne caught on immediately. He grabbed the train officer’s hand and pleaded, "Officer, my cousin definitely didn’t mean to do it! My uncle only has this one son. If something happens to him, how will I ever face my uncle... Please, I’m begging you!"
Tang Xiaonan was struggling to keep a straight face. ’I’m only just realizing what drama queens my brothers are,’ she thought. ’Their performance is good enough to win the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor.’
’My brothers are trying so hard; I can’t drag them down.’ Tang Xiaonan rubbed her eyes a few times until tears streamed out. She immediately latched onto the train officer’s leg, looked up at him with a face on the verge of tears, and cried, "Mister... please don’t take my cousin! Take me instead... My cousin’s a good person... Mister... Please... WAHHHH... Grandpa is really, really sick..."
The combined emotional appeal of Patrick Thorne and his brother was no match for Tang Xiaonan alone. A fair, chubby, adorable little girl, her face streaked with tears, looking up at you so pitifully... even a heart of stone would melt.
What’s more, this particular train officer didn’t have a heart of stone. He was especially fond of little girls—it was just a shame he hadn’t found the right wife to have a daughter with. Now, looking at Tang Xiaonan, the young officer’s heart... well, it had already sided completely with her.
’What an adorable and devoted child!’ he thought. ’So what if he accidentally bumped into someone? She got burned, sure, but it’s just her arm. It’s not like it’s life-threatening. I was once stabbed by a thug and didn’t even yelp!’
Besides, the officer noted Bernice’s glamorous and seductive attire. ’She’s definitely not a proper woman,’ he thought. ’What kind of respectable woman wears makeup?’
On one side were adorable, devoted children. On the other was a seductive temptress, clearly not a virtuous woman. Which side was the officer going to take?
The answer was obvious. He was on their side.
"First, let’s get off the train and get that burn treated," the officer said gently. "The kid clearly didn’t do it on purpose. Are your parents with you?"
Patrick Thorne quickly replied, "Our parents have to work. Dad said personal matters shouldn’t get in the way of socialist construction, so he had us come back to see Grandpa."
The surrounding passengers were instantly moved. To not even take leave from work? What selfless dedication! It was because of great members of the working class like him that the nation could prosper and thrive!
Patrick Thorne then pulled some money from his pocket—about thirty-odd yuan—and handed it all to the officer. "This is the money my dad gave me to buy supplements for Grandpa. Please give all of it to this lady for her medical bills."
The passengers’ opinion of the three siblings improved even further. That thirty yuan was probably every last cent they had. The officer asked with concern, "Do you have any other money on you?"
"Yes."
Patrick Thorne took out the bit of money he had left. It was less than a single yuan.
"This won’t be enough. Where do you get off?"
"In Vessaria," Patrick Thorne said pitifully. Tang Xiaonan immediately followed up, adding sensibly, "Mister, I’ll be full just eating dry steamed buns. We don’t need to spend any money."
