The closed door was abruptly opened, and a black pan was flashed out of the room, and because Lake rang the doorbell, the pan happened to be slapped towards Lake's face.

Faced with the sudden situation, Lake couldn't react at all, just widened his eyes, and his hands were about to be raised subconsciously, but it seemed that it was too late.

Just then, a hand suddenly appeared behind Lake's and stretched it over Lake's shoulder.

Zheng~~ sounded.

The black pan was slapped away by Gong Bing with a palm of his hand, and flew back directly according to the original path.

The frightened Lake froze down, only to see clearly that it was an old woman with silver hair standing in front of him, and the other party was also a little unable to react, at this time he raised his hands together, and still maintained the movement of waving the racket.

"Granny Angela!! I'm Lake. Lake exclaimed quietly.

"Uh, uh, it's Little Lake." The old woman named Angela was in a daze for a moment, then put her hands down behind her back, and said calmly.

What is the other party's expression that has never happened before, the corners of Gong Bing's eyes couldn't help jumping.

"Granny Annella, what did you just want to do with the pan?" Lake asked.

"Well, that's a long story." Mother-in-law An Liena took it lightly, and then glanced at Gong Bing: "This is ......"

"This is my student, Gabriel Taylor, a sophomore in high school this year, and we are here today for little Fias." Lake introduced Gong Bing.

Hearing this, Granny Angela looked at Gong Bing from top to bottom, especially stopping at his right hand.

"It's windy outside, let's talk about anything in the house." Granny Angela quickly retracted her gaze and said.

With that, she turned around and walked into the house, followed by Gong Bing and Lake.

"Is this old woman usually so powerful?" While changing his slippers in the entrance hallway, Gong Bing asked Lake in a low voice.

"Mighty?" Lake had just changed into his slippers and didn't seem to quite understand what Gong Bing meant.

"You have a good memory, I mean the pan thing." Gong Bing said as he pointed ahead.

Lake looked in the direction of Gong Bing's finger, and in the corridor ahead, Granny Angela was picking up the pan on the floor as she walked, and then continued to walk inside as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know much about this, I heard my father say that Mother-in-law Angela is a quiet woman who rarely quarrels with others, I think there may be some misunderstanding about what happened just now." Lake lowered his head and replied in the same whisper.

If I hadn't helped you block it just now, it would have been a big misunderstanding, Gong Bing shook his head.

Then the two went into the living room and sat down on each sofa chair.

A moment later, Granny Avena walked in with a wooden tray holding a tea set, poured a cup of tea for Gong Bing and Lake with her own hands, and paid a small plate of pastries for each of them.

Afterwards, Granny Angela also sat down and poured herself a glass.

At this time, Gong Bing had to see the other party clearly, Mother-in-law An Liena's long silver hair was coiled behind her head, she looked about sixty or seventy years old, but the wrinkles on her face seemed to be less than that of her peers, and a woolen shawl was placed over her light brown homecoat skirt.

"Alright, Little Lake... And this little friend, you are here today......" Angela asked as soon as she sat down.

"I'm here today for little Fias." As Lake spoke, he glanced around, "Granny Annella, did little Fias go to school today?" ”

"Little Fias, I saw her go out with her schoolbag in the morning, but I don't know if she didn't go to school." As she spoke, Granny Angela picked up a small mallet with a slightly longer handle from the side and gently tapped her thigh.

"Well, when will little Fias come back? It's almost time for lunch, and I'd like to talk to her when she gets back. Lake asked, looking at the wall clock on the wall.

Gong Bing also looked up, it was just a quarter past eleven o'clock at noon.

"I guess she's not going to come back for dinner at noon."

"She's not coming back to eat? I remember that Tianyuan Primary School didn't have a meal at noon? ”

"She has pocket money to settle for lunch, and she has just left the house, so she shouldn't be back so early." Mother-in-law Angela thought for a moment and said.

"Just out of the house?" Lake asked, stunned.

"yes, I remember she didn't go out until half past ten."

Lake was a little speechless, is there any school that will have classes at half past ten? In this way, little Fias obviously did not go to school at all, and as for where she ran now, only God knows.

"Didn't I tell you that I wanted to urge little Fias to go to school? It's not okay to skip class like this, she will be promoted to junior high school next year, and it is really dangerous according to her current grades. "Lake is worried.

"Little Fias has always had her own opinions, I don't think you need to worry so much." Granny Angela said nonchalantly, the hammer striking her thighs and arms.

"But she's only twelve."

"I started working when I was 12 years old, and I was worried about my family."

"It's different now, the children's task is to go to school and get a good job when they grow up."

"Children have their own ideas in their hearts." Angela looked at Lake.

"But ......"

"Little Lake, I can understand your words, and I also know that you are so nervous for the good of little Fias, so I have never objected to your approach." Granny Angela said slowly: "But you must know that I am too old to take care of it. ”

Hearing this, Lake couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Gong Bing, who was doing nothing next to her, pouted, this old woman seemed to be really a quiet character, she had always spoken so slowly and logically, to put it nicely, she was quite laissez-faire to her grandson, in other words, she didn't care too much.

"And ......," Enrine continued, "something has happened at home lately, and there are always some strangers who come to the door often, and it also makes me a little unskilled. ”

"Strangers? Did something happen? Lake asked, confused.

Because it was approaching the end of the semester, in order to prepare exam materials for students to review, and to be busy with the national science competition, she hadn't been here for almost half a month, so she hadn't heard of it.

Bumper Bump!!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of banging at the door.

"Look, those people are here again, and they're pretty punctual." Granny Angela shook her head as she sat up from her seat and walked out the door.

"Granny Angela, who's out there? It doesn't sound very friendly. Lake also followed, because the knock on the door was getting louder and louder, and when he heard it, he knew that he was not coming with good intentions, and there was a sound of talking outside the door, but because of the soundproofing of the wall at the door, he could not hear it clearly for the time being.

Seeing that both of them were walking towards the door, Gong Bing was not good to continue to stay in the living room alone, and after throwing the last piece of pastry into his mouth, he also stood up and followed.

At the door, when Granny Angela opened the door, Lake, who was following behind, noticed three people outside the house.

The three of them were all men in their twenties, about the same age as Lake himself, and although they were all wearing slightly thicker coats, in this cold and windy weather, the other party even pulled his neckline open, and his chest was greatly exposed, I really don't know if they were cold or hot.

"Old woman, are you finally willing to open the door today? I thought you were going to keep pretending you weren't home. A man who looked like a leader laughed, this guy had longer hair than Gong Bing, and he was born with curly hair.

Granny Angela didn't speak, just looked at each other calmly.

"Don't talk nonsense, since I saw you today, let me ask, are you going to pay back the money you owe?" Seeing that the other party ignored his greetings, the curly-haired man didn't think he was angry, and asked straight to the point.

"Who the hell are you? What about owing money? Before Granny Angela could reply, Lake, who was standing behind, asked first.
