Chapter 2
Maybe it was because she had received too much stimulation today. Xue Mi was a little dazed. She sighed directly: "You, the fraud gang, have done a good job of your homework."
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Ms. Xue, do you have any misunderstandings..."
After explaining for a long time, Xue Mi still didn't believe it at all. The other party could only sigh and make an appointment to talk in person tomorrow: "I will go to City A tomorrow, and I will bring some necessary documents to visit you then."
With documents like this, who knows if they are forged.
Although Xue Mi didn't think that with her pitifully small fortune, it was worth it for the scammer to make such a big fuss and come to her house on New Year's Eve.
But she was more concerned about...
"You even know my address?!"
The scammers were so meticulous in their work that she began to seriously consider whether or not to call the police.
"Ms. Mi... that is, my employer, did conduct a detailed investigation on your situation before she passed away." Lawyer Feng actually didn't understand why her employer didn't recognize her daughter before she passed away, but this Ms. Mi has always been mysterious, so it's normal for ordinary people not to understand. "She also specially prepared a gift for you. Before she died, she told me to give it to you after she passed away. I will bring it this time."
Xue Mi's mood was a little complicated.
When she was very young, she also imagined what her biological mother looked like and wondered if she had not contacted her because she had encountered some trouble.
And now, that familiar yet unfamiliar name appeared in the mouth of a liar. To be honest, the feeling is quite subtle.
That’s right, Xue Mi still doesn’t believe the nonsense on the phone.
Inheritance from rich people and gifts from her biological mother were all just tricks of a liar in her ears. It would be funny if she naively believed them.
Looking at my pitiful bank balance, could it be that these people are trying to trick me into taking out online loans?
Xue Mi instantly became more alert and even began to wonder whether she should stay at a friend's house for two days to avoid being blocked at home by these scammers.
The other party obviously noticed Xue Mi's suspicion and suggested meeting in a public place, such as near her company.
This group of scammers even knew the details of my overtime work during the Spring Festival!
Xue Mi responded with a few words, hung up the phone, and then immediately called her best friend.
The person who heard about Xue Mi's experience couldn't help but get nervous: "This liar is too arrogant now, how about we call the police directly?"
"But what if the other party is just trying to scare me?" Xue Mi was still a little undecided.
After all, it was New Year's Day, and she felt embarrassed to waste her energy.
The two girls chattered on the phone for a long time. Halfway through, Xue Mi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have just broken up with her ex-boyfriend.
There was no way. The two things that happened afterwards were both quite big and instantly diverted her attention, and she even forgot about her sadness.
"I told you long ago that Jiang Zhendong is not a good guy," the bestie said indignantly, "Last time I said I seemed to see him dating a girl in a restaurant, but you still didn't believe me. This bastard is so shameless!"
"Who would have thought that I would be used as a backup by this guy?" Xue Mi actually cared more about this matter than breaking up. "It really makes me sick just thinking about it. All these years have been wasted on a dog."
She wouldn't put all her heart on a man, but no matter what, this matter still made her feel uncomfortable from head to toe.
"It would be great if what the liar said was true, and his ex-girlfriend turned out to be a rich woman who was out of his reach and slapped him in the face with her money!" said my bestie excitedly.
Xue Mi could only smile helplessly: "How can such a good thing happen?"
"What if it really is money your mother left for you? How much money did the other party say she left for you?" my bestie gossiped curiously.
"I don't know. They just said the procedures are complicated and I have to go abroad."
The best friend was even more vigilant than Xue Mi: "You must not go out casually. There is a high probability that they will trick you out to have your kidney removed!"
Both of them are ordinary working class people with limited knowledge. Apart from this, they really can't think of anything else about Xue Mi that is worth others' attention.
"Why don't you come and live at my house? When my parents heard that you were staying alone in the rental house, they asked you to come over. The family does not need you to feed them, and it will be more lively with one more person." The best friend advised again.
My best friend is Zhang Ying, a local. She had a very good relationship with Xue Mi in college and often brought Xue Mi home for meals.
Everyone was busy during the Chinese New Year, and Xue Mi didn't want to cause trouble to other people's families. But because of the illusion just now and the liar who seemed to know everything, she was indeed a little scared: "I'm just afraid of bothering my uncles and aunts."
"What's the trouble? They all think you're more like their own daughter than me," Zhang Ying said sourly, and couldn't help laughing. "It just so happens that we haven't slept together for a long time, just like we used to do in the dormitory."
"It's too late today. I'll go to your house to wish you a happy new year after work tomorrow and have a meal at the same time." Xue Mi couldn't help laughing.
Although it has only been less than three years since I graduated, when I talk about my college days, it seems like my last lifetime, and I miss them from the bottom of my heart.
After talking on the phone with her bestie, Xue Mi finally felt a little more at ease and her appetite was finally worked up. She turned on the fire again, started a small hot pot, and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the bubbling red soup.
As for the scene she saw before answering the phone, Xue Mi did not tell Zhang Ying. She thought it might just be an illusion caused by a brain spasm and it was not worth making a fuss about. Instead, it might cause her best friend to worry unnecessarily.
Although she thought so, Xue Mi did not sleep well at night. She even dreamed that she was lying alone in the snow and slowly freezing to death.
As the ringtone rang, she opened her eyes suddenly and glanced at the alarm on her cell phone. It was already 7:30 in the morning.
Today is the first day of overtime in the new year, so there is no need to go too early. Just clock in online before 9:30. So Xue Mi is not in a hurry. She lies in the warm bed for a while. She can't help but think that from today on, she is single again. She can't tell whether she is happy or sad. Anyway, she sighed with mixed feelings and slowly got up.
The breakfast shops outside would definitely not be open today, so she simply reheated the leftover hotpot from yesterday, cooked some noodles, and ate a hot breakfast at home. She felt warm all over before going out.
Before leaving the house, she glanced at the time again. It was different from the time she left the house in her hallucination yesterday. It was almost half an hour later.
Even so, Xue Mi still put on a pair of non-slip boots and a thick velvet hat before carefully walking out of the corridor. When she walked to the road she saw in the hallucination, she carefully held onto the tree trunk next to her and tested it with her toes.
The ground was indeed compacted, and the snow had melted into ice, which was frozen hard overnight. One could slide a long way with a single slide, and if one was not careful, one could easily fall down.
Add to that the several steps nearby, and if the back of his head had really been hit there, it would have been impossible to save him.
Although Xue Mi had a nightmare at night, she still had enough sleep and had a good breakfast. In addition, she was alert, so she naturally would not feel dizzy and faint like in the hallucination, and would not accidentally die.
She carefully walked along the flowers beside her to bypass the dangerous area. After passing it, she was still uneasy, so she asked the security room for a non-slip straw mat to lay on the ground to prevent other victims. Then she continued to walk slowly and tentatively towards the company.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were still few people on the streets, and there were very few cars. The most common people were municipal workers cleaning the streets. Xue Mi and the other person looked at each other, and they felt a sense of empathy in their hearts.
We are all office workers, so it’s not shameful to earn overtime pay.
And thanks to these people's hard work, the road surface of the streets outside is much easier to walk on than inside the community, and it is less easy to fall.
Even so, under the threat of hallucinatory death, Xue Mi still exercised extreme caution and spent much longer time than usual. Even so, it was just after 9 o'clock when she arrived at the company. She had time to slowly turn on the air conditioner and heater, boil a pot of hot tea, sit down at her workstation, and turn on the computer to clock in online.
Xue Mi works at a branch of a technology company. Its performance is average and its business is not too busy. However, in order to connect with the higher-ups, one person has to work overtime during the New Year holidays to facilitate data retrieval or respond to emergencies.
Although the overtime pay is quite a lot, most people are still not willing to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. So since Xue Mi joined the company, no one has competed with her for this job. She can steadily pocket several thousand yuan each time, which is enough for her to have a big meal and reward herself.
Thinking of the big meal, Xue Mi started chatting with Zhang Ying on the phone again, discussing which restaurant to go to for a good meal after the prices dropped after the New Year.
Xue Mi doesn't have any other hobbies. The only thing he likes and can afford is eating.
As we were chatting, a message about receiving a red envelope popped up on the phone interface. It turned out to be sent by the scumbag. There was also a long essay on it, which roughly meant that after so many years of relationship, he was reluctant to let go and hoped that they could still be friends after breaking up.
Be friends with nm big ghost!
The nausea that had just been suppressed came up again. Xue Mi decisively blocked and deleted this guy, and only then did she feel that her phone became clean again.
Just after deleting the person, a red envelope notification popped up. When Xue Mi clicked on it, she found that it was a red envelope sent by her direct superior.
Although the middle-aged man was half bald and greasy, and often told jokes that were not funny at all, he suddenly seemed particularly pleasing to the eye because of the money.
Xue Mi accepted the red envelope with a big smile on her face, and sent a picture back to thank her boss, acting like a real bootlicker.
Now that’s good, Zhang Ying’s family will have the money to pay New Year’s greetings.
Xue Mi's mood had just brightened up a little because of the money coming into her account, but she received a call from an unfamiliar number. Although the number was unfamiliar, the voice was very familiar. It turned out to be the liar who spoke nonsense yesterday: "Hello, Miss Xue, I just arrived in City A. This is the number I just changed. Do you have time to meet with me at noon?"
