Xia Xin, who rarely faced the camera, felt nervous but managed to maintain her composure. She looked into the camera with sincere and clear eyes.
First, Xia Xin explained that the zoo was currently providing psychological counseling for Bao, reassuring the netizens not to worry too much about Bao’s condition. Then, she indirectly mentioned the difficulties the zoo was facing, hoping that the netizens could understand the zoo’s actions.
After finishing recording the video, Xia Xin sent it to Lu Yuan, and he quickly replied.
Seeing that there were no issues on Lu Yuan’s end, Xia Xin posted the video on her own account.
After publishing the video, Xia Xin did not pay attention to the views and comments. Instead, she made a video call to her parents. After a brief conversation, Xia Xin suddenly felt that something was off between her parents.
In the past, when Xia Xin video-called her parents, they would always gather together to talk to her. But today, Gu Fan and Xia Song were sitting far apart, like two magnets repelling each other.
Xia Xin immediately understood that it must be about the compensation money issue.
In Xia Xin’s previous life, Gu Fan and Xia Song’s accidental death led to all the compensation money falling into Xia Song’s younger brother, Xia Bai’s hands.
Xia Xin’s grandmother had always favored males and resented Xia Xin, blaming her for Xia Song’s death. She did not even allow Xia Xin to enter their home.
In this life, Xia Xin’s parents were safe and sound, but the compensation money had still not been distributed.
“Mom, Dad, did you visit Grandma?” Xia Xin asked. She did not directly ask about the compensation money.
Xia Song nodded and said, “Yes, your grandmother’s health has improved a lot. It’s our day off this week, so let’s go to your grandmother’s house for a meal.”
Hearing Xia Song’s words, Gu Fan frowned and sneered, “I dare not go to your brother’s house. If they think I’m going there to snatch their property certificate, they’ll kick me and Xin out directly!”
“You, why would you say these things in front of the child?” Xia Song, feeling nervous, interrupted Gu Fan.
“Dad, what property certificate? What’s happening with the property certificate?” Xia Xin actually already had an idea, but to confirm, she still asked.
Seeing that Xia Xin had sensed something was wrong, Gu Fan no longer bothered to hide it and said straightforwardly, “Today, when your dad and your grandmother talked on the phone, I overheard that your grandmother had already given the property certificate to your uncle and aunt. Your dad didn’t even plan to tell me about this. It really makes me furious!”
Xia Song opened his mouth, looking embarrassed, and said, “I wasn’t planning to keep it from you. I didn’t tell you because I thought you would overreact and go directly to confront Xia Bai. What if you end up fighting?”
Xia Xin understood immediately, ‘So, that was the case. Uncle Bai and his wife were unbelievable. They managed to deceive Grandma and obtain the property certificate.’
Actually, Xia Xin did not attach much importance to that compensation money. Although their family was not wealthy, they were not lacking in money either. It was normal for her grandmother to want to distribute the compensation money to her uncle.
But not attaching much importance to the money did not mean that Xia Xin would not handle the matter.
Gu Fan had worked hard to take care of Old Mrs. Xia all these years. When Old Mrs. Xia was in the hospital, Gu Fan went to deliver meals and help with personal hygiene while juggling work. She treated Old Mrs. Xia as if she were her own mother.
But Xia Bai and his wife had not done anything useful. To avoid taking care of Old Mrs. Xia, they made excuses to leave the city and did not even make a phone call to Old Mrs. Xia. Worse, they did not even pay a single cent for the hospital bills and medicine expenses.
Xia Xin knew she had to handle this matter well to avoid potential trouble in the future.
After comforting Gu Fan for a few moments and promising that the whole family would visit Xia Bai’s house this week, Xia Xin hung up the phone.
The next day, after waking up and hurriedly getting ready, Xia Xin arrived at the zoo. After completing her cleaning duties, she suddenly remembered that she had posted a video the day before. She tidied up her cleaning tools, took out her phone, and opened the streaming app.
When Xia Xin opened the app, Xia Xin was startled. The background of her app usually had no likes, comments, or notifications about people following her. But at this moment, all three of those notifications showed “999+”.
Although Xia Xin had prepared herself mentally, when Xia Xin saw that her video had already received over 1.2 million likes and 500,000 shares, it still felt unreal, as if she was dreaming. She clicked on the comment section, and the first comments displayed were a few highly liked ones.
[Wow, the caretaker girl posted a video! I knew you conspiracy theorists were maliciously speculating. Do you really think the zoo doesn’t know how to take care of pandas?]
