Chapter 150 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 18

Shen Xinran's striking red hair caused quite a stir in the art troupe, and no matter where she went, she would be stared at.

The moment she stepped into the dance studio, she was immediately surrounded by girls.

All I could hear were the girls chattering, "When did you get your hair done? It looks so beautiful!"

"Yeah, it's just like the doll in the music box. Which shop did you have it made in? How much did it cost?"

"When I get my salary, I also want to get my hair done..."

Shen Xinran smiled and replied, "I made it on Mid-Autumn Festival. It was in the shop next to the Normal School. It seemed to be twenty."

After Qin Xiaowen left, a new teacher came to the dance troupe. Her name was Fan. She wore a pair of black-framed glasses and was very strict. The girls in the dance troupe were all afraid of her.

As she walked into the rehearsal room, the lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down. The girls dispersed and remained silent. Teacher Fan frowned and walked straight towards Shen Xinran.

Shen Xinran originally thought that she would be criticized for her bright hair color, after all, in this era, such hair color is not common.

However, to her surprise, Teacher Fan actually nodded at her and praised her, "Your hair is so beautiful."

Shen Xinran's eyes curved, "Thank you, Teacher Fan, for the compliment."

Sure enough, women are born with a unique pursuit and appreciation of beauty.

During the break, a girl looked at Shen Xinran and said with a smile: "Shi Qian, the sun is shining brightly outside, let's go out and bask in the sun!"

"Okay." Shen Xinran glanced outside and nodded, agreeing to the girl's invitation.

On the way to bask in the sun, I happened to see Wang Shulan coming out of the team leader's office. She was holding a bunch of things and was probably preparing to go home.

Shen Xinran raised an eyebrow. After not seeing each other for half a month, there were already many silver threads in Wang Shulan's hair. It was obvious that she had not had a good time in the past half month.

Wang Shulan also saw Shen Xinran. She walked up to Shen Xinran and said with a fake smile, "Zhao Shiqian, you are really amazing."

During the half month at the police station, Wang Shulan realized that she must have been framed, but she thought that all this was just Shen Xinran pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Shen Xinran didn't intend to argue. She smiled faintly and said, "Deputy Captain, you are too kind."

This made Jiang Ying's eyes red, "How dare you say that? You know very well that—" My mother has already resigned.

Wang Shulan reached out, interrupting Jiang Ying's next words, and sneered, "Zhao Shiqian, we have a long way to go."

After she finished speaking, she took Jiang Ying's hand and left the scene gracefully. This seemed to be the last bit of dignity she retained for herself.

The girl sighed, "I wonder when the new deputy leader will come."

Shen Xinran looked at Wang Shulan's leaving back and smiled faintly, "It should be soon."

When Zhou Yaoqi left the house in the morning, he said that something happened at the mine and he couldn't come back for lunch, so he asked Shen Xinran not to wait for him.

After getting off work at noon, Shen Xinran went directly to her mother's house.

As soon as I arrived at the fruit shop, I saw He Hongxia carrying heavy fruit boxes by herself.

Shen Xinran walked forward quickly, his brows furrowed, "Why are you carrying such a heavy thing alone? Where's Dad?"

Seeing this, He Hongxia quickly explained: "Your father went to buy goods last night and rested this morning. It's better not to disturb him."

Shen Xinran knew that this was normal in the fruit market. To get the freshest fruit, shop owners often had to go to the market late at night.

Then, Shen Xinran asked again: "What about Zhao Pengbo?"

He Hongxia replied casually: "He might be playing games in his room."

After He Hongxia finished speaking, she put down the goods in her hand, looked at Shen Xinran cautiously, and asked softly: "Shi Qian, do you have any extra money on hand?"

Shen Xinran frowned and asked in confusion: "Didn't I just give you twenty yuan? How come it's all gone?"

He Hongxia sighed and said helplessly: "Your brother has caused trouble again. This time he has to pay thirty yuan. I dare not tell your father about this."

Shen Xinran's face darkened. He went straight upstairs, pushed open Zhao Pengbo's door, and slapped him in the face.

Zhao Pengbo was immersed in the game console when he was suddenly interrupted. He was unhappy and was about to yell: "Who is so tactless? Can't you see I'm busy?"

However, when he saw Shen Xinran's face, he was stunned, and then put on a flattering smile: "Sister, you are back."

Shen Xinran narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you go to fight again?"

Zhao Pengbo refused to accept the defeat and stubbornly argued, "They provoked me first."

Shen Xinran was so angry that he almost bit his teeth. "If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?"

Zhao Pengbo lowered his head in grievance, thinking to himself, his sister was never so fierce before!

Shen Xinran said with a cold face, "If you want money, go help Mom unload the fruit from the truck first."

Zhao Pengbo opened his eyes wide in surprise: "So many, you want me to move them all by myself?"

Shen Xinran had a blank expression on her face: "Mom can do it alone, why can't you?"

Zhao Pengbo responded helplessly, put down his game console, and walked downstairs in his slippers. He happened to meet He Hongxia coming upstairs, and he pursed his lips but said nothing.

Shen Xinran kicked Zhao Pengbo in the butt, and then he reluctantly said to He Hongxia: "Mom, you take a rest first, I'll go move the goods."

He Hongxia looked at the red marks on Zhao Pengbo's face, feeling a little reluctant, and asked Shen Xinran: "Did you hit your brother?"

Shen Xinran nodded: "Yes, I did."

He Hongxia opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at Shen Xinran's gloomy face, she finally just sighed.

Shen Xinran handed the shopping bag to He Hongxia, "I went shopping a few days ago and bought clothes for you and dad."

Along with the clothes, he also handed over thirty yuan.

He Hongxia waved her hand and refused, "Didn't you just buy us clothes last month? We have clothes to wear, don't waste your money anymore."

Shen Xinran said casually: "Take it, it's Zhou Yaoqi's money anyway."

He Hongxia then took the clothes and asked, "Did you buy it for your mother-in-law?"

Shen Xinran nodded: "I bought it and asked Zhou Yaoqi to deliver it yesterday."

He Hongxia smiled and reminded him, "It's not easy for your mother-in-law either. She raised four children by herself. When you and Zhou Yaoqi are free, go back and visit her more often."

Shen Xinran sneered and said, "You should worry more about Zhao Pengbo. If you can't bear to teach him a lesson, just tell me and I promise to make him obedient."

He Hongxia: "...your brother is sometimes very obedient. Last time he saw that I had a backache, he even bought me some ointment."

Shen Xinran raised his eyebrows and asked half-jokingly, "How much money did he cheat from you?"

He Hongxia was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously pretended to be in a hurry. She put the clothes in the closet, took things out of the closet and put them on the table.
