As Shen Xiuxiu spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again. Her acting skills were truly superb.
When Zhou Shouye heard this, his face suddenly darkened and his brows were twisted into a knot.
"Hush money? Shen Anan, dare she do that?"
He did know that Shen Xiuxiu was not the biological granddaughter of Grandpa and Mrs. Shen. Shen Xiuxiu had said at the beginning that she wanted to go find her biological parents, but he didn't have the money to give her away.
Shen Xiuxiu nodded. She held Zhou Shouye's arm, her voice trembling a little: "Shouye, I... I really have no choice. You know, where can I get so much money to give her!"
Looking at Shen Xiuxiu's pitiful appearance, Zhou Shouye was so angry. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Xiu Xiu, don't be afraid. I'll go find that Shen An'an and ask her about it. If she dares to bully you like this, I, Zhou Shouye, will not be a pushover."
Shen Xiuxiu was very excited when she heard this, but she still looked worried on the surface: "Shouye, you have to be careful, Shen Anan is a very thoughtful person."
Zhou Shouye patted his chest.
"Xiu Xiu, don't worry. I, Zhou Shouye, have never been afraid of anyone since I was a child."
Hearing this, Shen Xiuxiu nodded. She looked at Zhou Shouye's confident look and felt so proud. She knew that she had made the right bet again this time.
Zhou Shouye turned and left. He decided to find Shen Anan and ask about this matter clearly.
Although Zhou Shouye is not a big shot, his words still carry some weight in Wangjiazhuang!
How dare that little girl Shen Anan threaten Zhou Shouye's woman? !
He strode towards the guesthouse, wanting to find Shen Anan to ask for clarification.
But when he arrived at the guesthouse, the lady at the front desk told him that Shen Anan was not there.
"Then where did she go?" Zhou Shouye stood at the front desk, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
The lady at the front desk looked up at him, then lowered her head and continued with her work.
"I don't know either. I think I went out."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Shouye became even more anxious. He took a step forward and raised his voice a few degrees: "Sister, please tell me, I have something urgent to do and need to find her."
The lady at the front desk stopped what she was doing, looked up at Zhou Shouye with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"What do you want to see her for? She's not here. Tell me what you have to say!"
Zhou Shouye felt aggrieved. He knew that the lady at the front desk was deliberately making things difficult for him, but this was a guesthouse and there was a public security bureau nearby. It was not a place where he could act recklessly.
“Sister, I don’t mean anything else, I just want to ask Shen Anan where she went, I really have something urgent to find her!”
The lady at the front desk still shook her head and said, "I don't know where she went. How can I, a receptionist, care about so many things for others? If you have anything to say, just wait until she comes back!"
At this time, Shen Anan took Xie Shiqi to Honghua Restaurant. Whether the fish selling business could succeed depended on whether Li Daquan's friends could borrow a boat.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Shen Anan saw Li Daquan sitting in the corner, his face full of helplessness. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and she knew that this might not be a good thing.
"Brother Li, what's going on? Did your friend agree?"
Li Daquan raised his head, sighed, and shook his head: "Girl, my friend said that he can't do this. He said that this business is too risky and he is afraid of losing money..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Anan frowned. It would be really difficult to sell fish without a boat. She bit her lip, with a hint of unwillingness in her voice: "Brother Li, can't you tell me more?"
Li Daquan scratched his head. He also wanted to get this done, but he also knew his friend's temper. Once a decision was made, no one could change it even with ten oxen.
"I'll think of a way to find another boat."
Li Daquan said this with a hint of guilt in his tone.
Seeing that it had come to this, Shen Anan had nothing to say and could only nod.
The two of them left the restaurant.
Xie Shiqi glanced at Shen Anan and asked softly, "Shall we go back to the guesthouse now? Maybe we can think of another way."
Shen Anan shook her head, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Let's not go back yet, Shiqi, I want to stroll along the beach and see if I can ask those fishermen something."
Hearing this, Xie Shiqi was stunned, but he didn't say much, and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The two walked towards the seaside. The wind at the beach has a salty taste, and the waves gently hit the shore, making a rustling sound.
Shen Anan and Xie Shiqi walked along the beach, looking around from time to time, hoping to see the fishermen.
Shen Anan was worried, she knew that it would be really difficult to sell fish without a boat.
Just when they were chatting enthusiastically with a few fishermen, Zhou Shouye suddenly appeared.
He strode over with a hint of anger on his face, and questioned Shen Anan as soon as he came: "Shen Anan, why did you threaten Xiuxiu? What do you mean?"
Shen Anan was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Shouye to appear suddenly and ask such a question. She stood up and looked directly at Zhou Shouye: "I don't understand what you are talking about. When did I threaten Shen Xiuxiu?"
Zhou Shouye was obviously very angry, and his voice was raised a few degrees: "Xiuxiu told me everything. She said you want her to give you a large sum of hush money, otherwise she will reveal all her affairs. Shen Anan, what are you going to do?"
After hearing this, Shen Anan felt speechless.
To be honest, she really admired Shen Xiuxiu. Even at this time, she was still able to convince Boss Zhou. As for this Boss Zhou, she had no idea whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. He actually helped after being coaxed by Shen Xiuxiu for a while.
"You believe what Shen Xiuxiu said? Have you forgotten that she took the betrothal gifts and ran away?"
After being told this by Shen Anan, Zhou Shouye's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still insisted: "Shen Anan, no matter what, you can't threaten Shen Xiuxiu. She is my childhood sweetheart, I can't watch her being bullied!"
Shen Anan looked at Zhou Shouye's protective look and sneered.
"I, Shen Anan, have always been upright in my actions. I didn't threaten Shen Xiuxiu. What did I say to her?
I told her to either return your family's betrothal money and Mr. Shen and his wife's money, or I would tell you where she is. That's it. Do you think I'm threatening you?
Think about it yourself, why Shen Xiuxiu thinks this is a threat, because she doesn't want you to find her at all, let alone pay back the money. ”
Shen Anan said word by word.
"Xiu Xiu has realized her mistake now, she..."
Seeing that Zhou Shouye was about to say something, Shen Anan met his eyes, "Does she know she was wrong? What did she say to you? She said she was willing to be with you? What about her husband in Hecheng?"
