Chapter 78 78 Carrying a huge sum of money
When Su Peipei returned, the yard was already bustling with activity, and the people who had helped move the goods had all left. Su Xiao was quite relaxed, treating the place as her own home, boiling water for herself, and not in a hurry at all.
Seeing Su Peipei return with a worried look on her face, he laughed rather unkindly, "Second sister, look at your face, you're not pretty at all."
Su Peipei choked. She really couldn't understand her younger sister anymore. Sigh, could it be that the stimulation of rebirth was too much and she'd gone left-handed?
Forget it, we can't afford to mess with her. We should just send her away as soon as possible.
Su Peipei frowned and handed her a bag of money. "It's all here. Count it. This is money I borrowed for you..."
Su Xiao didn't open the number. After all, she had always asked Xiao Liu to keep an eye on her. If she wanted to do something naughty, she naturally couldn't escape Xiao Liu's surveillance.
"No need to count, I trust my second sister's character." Su Xiao stuffed a bag of money into her handbag. "Then I'm off, second sister. I wish you a prosperous business and great wealth."
"Wait, Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten something?" Su Peipei grabbed Su Xiao, who was about to leave. "The IOU, can you give it back to me now?"
"That one." Su Xiao took it out, and Su Peipei immediately reached out to snatch it.
How could Su Xiao let her succeed? She quickly distanced herself from her, saying, "Second sister, don't be in such a hurry."
“This IOU isn’t just a simple IOU; it also contains evidence of your wrongdoing. I can’t give it to you yet, but I’ve already made it clear on it that you’ve already paid back the money. Look, here…”
Su Xiao showed her the paper, then put it away again.
Su Peipei frowned, angry. "Xiaoxiao, that's not fair of you. Now that I've given you the money, this matter should be over. What are you trying to do with that piece of paper? Threaten me?"
Seeing her stern face, Su Xiao also frowned and said coldly, "It's about the money you paid for breaking my jade pendant, not the crime of theft. Second sister, don't tell me you don't know what those five petty thieves are all about."
Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, Su Peipei's face turned pale instantly. She clenched her fists tightly and stubbornly retorted, "I really didn't know. I didn't instruct them."
Yes, she didn't instigate it, but she certainly fueled the flames.
Su Xiao gave her a disdainful look, then casually glanced around the yard, saying meaningfully, "This backyard is nice. I wonder whose front yard is; I see quite a few people coming and going, some of them look familiar. Hey, why is that gate locked? It would be so much better if it were open..."
"Xiaoxiao." Su Peipei's face turned pale, and she hurriedly stopped her from continuing, "What exactly do you want?"
Su Xiao noticed the deep gloom in her eyes, but didn't care.
"I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, I'll fight them to the death. Second sister, don't mistake my good nature for weakness. You should have realized by now that I'm not the Su Xiaoxiao you used to be, and I won't let you bully me."
Su Peipei stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.
Seeing that she had intimidated her, Su Xiao was quite satisfied. She patted her handbag and said nonchalantly, "I'm leaving tomorrow. You'd better watch yourself. And your parents, please keep an eye on them. If they cause any more trouble, I'll hold you responsible."
"On what grounds?"
"The capable should do more work, right?" After saying that, Su Xiao turned around and left humming a little tune.
Su Peipei watched her departing figure, secretly clenching her fists, then loosening them, then clenching them again, repeating this several times before turning back to the courtyard.
