Chapter Thirteen

Lei Tingjun then said to the skinny Sun Xiaojun, "Do you have any money on you? Give it to me first."

Sun Xiaojun was even poorer than Zhou Peng. He searched all his pockets and only managed to pull out five yuan. He said rather embarrassedly, "Boss, this is all I have this month. I was planning to save it for living expenses."

"Give it to me first!" Lei Tingjun didn't care about anything else and grabbed the money, stuffing it into his jeans pocket.

Then he took another twenty or thirty yuan from the pockets of his other brothers, making a total of fifty yuan.

Then he ran over and said to Ji Wanmei, who was standing by the roadside waiting, "Let's go, I'll take your things to the store first, and then I'll go back to the factory."

Ji Wanmei was unaware that in just one minute, Lei Tingjun had managed to scrape together fifty yuan from his gang of underlings, intending to accompany her shopping.

She assumed that Lei Tingjun was quietly instructing them on how to arrange the follow-up matters before coming over to speak to her.

Ji Wanmei shook her head: "No need, you should go back and take care of your own business first. I came here with my friend today. I just came over to talk to you, and she has been waiting for me across the street."

As she spoke, Ji Wanmei pointed to Luo Chunyan across from her.

Luo Chunyan had also been keeping an eye on the situation across the street.

At first, she was very worried that Lei Tingjun and his gang would bully Ji Wanmei. She thought that if they dared to lay a hand on her, she would immediately shout for help and for thugs to be caught on the street, and then mobilize the people and the police to arrest those hooligans.

In any case, we will never let Meimei be bullied in broad daylight.

Although she had a plan in mind, Luo Chunyan still didn't dare to go over, and could only watch intently from the opposite side.

However, she stood under the tree and watched for quite a while.

But she discovered that the gang leader, Lei Tingjun, was not only not fierce towards Ji Wanmei, but seemed to listen to her and be particularly docile and obedient.

Even from a distance of about ten meters, Luo Chunyan couldn't hear what Ji Wanmei was saying.

Anyway, all he saw was Ji Wanmei with a stern, pretty face, as if she were giving a lecture, while Lei Tingjun opposite her was like a well-behaved and docile big wolfhound, obediently nodding and listening to the lecture.

The scene was strangely eerie and incongruous, leaving Luo Chunyan astonished.

The conversation lasted for about ten minutes before ending.

Luo Chunyan saw Lei Tingjun go to collect money from his brothers.

Indeed, Ji Wanmei, standing behind the tree, was unaware of what Lei Tingjun had done, but Luo Chunyan, standing on the opposite side of the road, had a clear view of Lei Tingjun taking money from his brothers' pockets and putting it into his own.

Then Lei Tingjun went over and said a few words to Ji Wanmei, and Ji Wanmei turned around and pointed to herself.

When Luo Chunyan saw Ji Wanmei pointing at her, she thought it was some kind of code and quickly raised her hand and shouted, "Meimei, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Thunder Army: "..."

He scratched his short, stiff black hair: "That's your friend."

Ji Wanmei nodded: "Yes, my friend doesn't like being with people she doesn't know well, especially men, it's not very convenient. You should go back first, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Ji Wanmei's refusal annoyed Lei Tingjun. After thinking for a moment, he took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Ji Wanmei's hand: "Fine, then go buy it yourself. Buy whatever you like. I'll give you more next time if you don't have enough."

Lei Tingjun shoved the money into her hand and turned to leave.

He was tall and had long legs, and he took about ten steps in just a few strides. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and said to her, "Take care of yourself and go home early. The Nandou Road area is quite chaotic after dark, so don't stay out too long. If you come back late, I'll come pick you up later."

Ji Wanmei was taken aback.

Lei Tingjun and his gang walked away from her sight.

Only then did Ji Wanmei realize what was happening, and she looked down—

Lei Tingjun just slipped a handful of money into her hand.

With just a casual glance, she had at least forty or fifty yuan, both small and large bills.

They weren't even in a relationship yet, and he actually gave her money?

Why is this person so honest?

Ji Wanmei was stunned as she took the money, unsure of how to react.

Seeing that Lei Tingjun and his gang had left, Luo Chunyan quickly ran over and asked Ji Wanmei, "Meimei, are you alright? Did those people do anything to you?"

Seeing that Ji Wanmei was staring blankly at the thing in her hand without saying anything, she looked down and saw that there was a handful of money in Ji Wanmei's bent palm.

"Did Lei Tingjun give this to you?" Luo Chunyan asked in surprise.

"Why would he give you money?" Luo Chunyan asked curiously.

Ji Wanmei pursed her lips: "He said... I should take it to buy something?"

"Huh???" Luo Chunyan was stunned. That gangster boss who dared to mess with even the King of Hell was actually being so nice to Ji Wanmei. "Could it be... that he likes you?"

Ji Wanmei blushed and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Luo Chunyan was even more shocked.

Could it be true?

Ji Wanmei looked down on the deputy factory director's son, who had a college degree, but she fell for the most notorious gangster in the factory.

Good heavens, what is all this about?

Previously, when Ji Wanmei looked down on Yang Zhiping, Luo Chunyan felt she couldn't say anything. But now that Ji Wanmei had taken a liking to Lei Tingjun, as a good friend, Luo Chunyan felt she had to remind her a few things.

“Meimei, have you thought this through? What kind of person is Lei Tingjun? Don’t let him fool you. He has a very bad reputation.”
