"Haha! Stealing her customers? What a joke, such a joke! Ask the staff here, how did this little girl get in?"

"How old is she now? If it weren't for us taking pity on her and giving her a meal, she would have starved to death long ago. Stealing her customers? That's a colossal joke!"

The fat woman finally regained her composure, returning to her domineering attitude from before.

Hearing her words, Yang Yan also frowned slightly.

Just now, when he reached out to support Dawn, he had clearly felt that Dawn's age was definitely no more than fourteen.

He was also a bit curious about why Dawn was working here.

"Alright, if you can't afford the house, don't waste everybody's time here. You should know, our time is very valuable. We don't have the time to play with you here."

Hong also didn't want to get entangled, although she was very angry at Yang Yan calling her a fat woman, she couldn't say much with so many people watching, so she turned and left.

However, when she walked past Dawn, she coldly said,

"Remember to clean the office later. I want to inspect it!"

Seeing the fat woman's attitude, Yang Yan couldn't hold back any longer.

He knew it was because the fat woman knew that sitting here and arguing with customers wasn't good for business, and she might receive a warning from above, so she changed tactics to retaliate.

But just letting a teenage girl suffer undeserved misfortune was not his way.

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows and coldly said,

"She can't go later, she has to take us to see the house. I'll give her the service fee, just as you said earlier."

"Haha! Judging by the tone of your voice, it must be at least a two hundred square meters house, right? Seeing one costs over ten thousand, aren't you heartbroken?"

"As long as it's not going to buy the likes of you, a dead fat woman, there's absolutely no problem."

Hearing Yang Yan call her a dead fat woman again, Hong was trembling all over with rage.

Unfortunately, she instinctively glanced at the surveillance camera above her and managed to hold back.

"If she dares to go, she won't need to come back later."

The fat woman clenched her chubby fist, her body tensed, speaking full of provocation.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, a man walked out from the side, with a badge on his chest that read "Manager."

Unexpectedly, upon seeing this man, Hong quickly started speaking,

"Manager, you came at the right time. Here's what happened, this little girl Dawn privately received guests. After I took over the guests, she was still not convinced. Also, she's planning to go out with the guests to see houses later."

At this, she glanced at Yang Yan and continued,

"And those two don't look like good people at all, more like traffickers, so I told Dawn to clean the manager's office."

The man glanced at Dawn, seeing that she lowered her head very low, and assumed the fat woman wasn't lying.

He walked up to Yang Yan and said,

"Sorry, sir, this girl is not one of our staff. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

After saying this, he turned to Dawn and said,

"Originally, seeing you were pitiful, we made an exception and gave you eight hundred a month plus meals against the rules."

"But if you continue like this... sigh! That's enough, you don't need to come from tomorrow. If anything happens to you outside, our company would have to take responsibility, and I can't afford that."

After saying this, the man turned and left, not giving Dawn a chance to explain.

"Hmph!"

The fat woman turned her head, looking at Yang Yan with satisfaction, and snorted coldly.

Her eyes seemed to be flaunting her victory.

As she turned to walk inside, she said to Dawn,

"Remember to take off the clothes when you leave. Our uniforms are not allowed to be taken out."

Throwing these words, she didn't stop and walked straight in.

A pale Dawn stood there, wronged, her glistening tears flowing uncontrollably.

After half a minute of silence, she also turned and walked inside.

Zhou Hanyun saw the desolate back of the little girl and couldn't help wanting to comfort Dawn, but Yang Yan stopped her.

He shook his head to Zhou Hanyun and said,

"Don't be in a hurry, let's see what happens next."

While saying this, he led Zhou Hanyun and the two little girls outside.

There was a cafe nearby.

Once they found a spot by the window, Zhou Hanyun couldn't help but ask Yang Yan,

"Why didn't you help her just now? The little girl is so pitiful."

Yang Yan gently smiled,

"Wait a minute. I'm very curious as to why that girl is here. Judging by her appearance, she shouldn't be over fourteen. Aren't you curious?"

Zhou Hanyun frowned, thinking again.

Yang Yan was right; she was also very curious as to why this girl was here.

At that age, shouldn't she still be in middle school?

After ordering juice for Ruyi and Cai'Er, Yang Yan ordered a pot of tea for himself and started sipping slowly.

When the pot of tea was almost finished, Yang Yan suddenly put down the cup and softly said,

"She's about to come out."

Zhou Hanyun followed Yang Yan's gaze and looked out the window, seeing a thin little girl walking out from the door of the real estate agency, it was indeed Dawn.

However, unlike before, she had taken off the uniform that didn't fit her, making it clear to see her approximate age.

"She really looks so young! With that small figure, she might not even be twelve, let alone fourteen! In this cold weather, those people are really heartless."

Zhou Hanyun said, somewhat unwillingly, looking at Dawn.

"Let's go, follow her and see what she's up to. Try not to be noticed."

Yang Yan said, already standing up to pay and head out.

They followed Dawn for a full two hours.

Cai'Er and Ruyi were not ordinary children, so it wasn't a problem for them.

But Zhou Hanyun's feet had long been sore from walking.

If it weren't for Yang Yan holding her hand the whole way, with a constant warmth spreading from his palm throughout her body, she probably would have stopped moving.

When they followed Dawn to a bridge, the little girl went into a restaurant and carefully took out a crumpled ten yuan from her pocket to buy a fast food meal.

Then, she carried the meal and walked under the bridge.

Yang Yan and the others quickly and quietly followed.

Under the bridge was a very dilapidated little house, which was actually just a few wooden boards roughly put together.

Though it was wrapped with some iron sheets and burlap bags outside, it barely provided warmth in the northern winter.

Dawn stood at the door for a moment, her small face, red from the cold and full of fatigue and disappointment, suddenly lit up with a big smile, then she opened the door and walked inside.

Seeing this, Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun quickly exchanged a look, then silently moved to the side of the small house, listening carefully to the sounds inside.
