At the banquet on the other side, Pei Shasha finally found a chance to slip away temporarily. She used the excuse of going to the restroom to hide in a corner and make a phone call. She wanted to call Uncle Zhong and ask him what he should do.
The phone rang for a long time before a heavy voice came from the other end.
She complained, "Why did it take you so long to answer the phone!" Little did she know that Uncle Zhong had already gotten into the police car, and that he was only able to answer her call because the police had given him permission.
"Uncle Zhong! I'm calling you because it's urgent. What are you doing?"
Ah Zhong gave a bitter smile, and called out her name in a low voice: "Sasha..."
He tried to say something more, but the policeman's gun was already pressed against his waist.
"Alright, alright!" Pei Shasha said impatiently, "I just want to ask you one thing... Miss Lu just asked me for a five million yuan gift, do you think I should give it to her or not?"
Five million?
“Yeah!” Pei Shasha, still completely unaware of what was going on, couldn’t help but add a few more words. “I don’t know what that little bitch was doing making promises to Jiang Mianmian before, but today, as soon as Jiang Mianmian saw me, she said that her daughter could talk and asked me to give her a congratulatory gift, something like…something cat’s eye stone, worth five million!”
Ah Zhong immediately understood that this was not what Jiang Mianmian wanted, but what she wanted on behalf of Shao Xiaofei.
Whatever you gain, you will return in the same way.
Ah Zhong closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
"Uncle Zhong? Uncle Zhong!" Pei Shasha couldn't wait any longer. "Say something! Should I give it to you or not?"
"Sasha, you're all grown up now. These things... you should decide for yourself!"
“If I understood, would I need to ask you?” Pei Shasha frowned. Uncle Zhong was behaving strangely today. “Actually… I don’t really want to give it to him. Giving something so expensive to a little kid is just a joke! But…”
Pei Shasha hesitated for a moment, "But I'm afraid it will arouse Jiang Mianmian's suspicion."
"Yes, your analysis is quite correct." Ah Zhong chuckled twice. "Just do what you think is best!"
"Then I'll give it to her?" Pei Shasha bit her lip. "I've always carried that card with me. Anyway, the Qin family will be mine in the future... I don't need five million!"
Ah Zhong gestured for the police to hang up the phone for him. He leaned weakly against the car window, watching the scenery rushing past outside, a feeling of endless sorrow welling up in his heart.
"Hello? Uncle Zhong! Hello!" Pei Shasha looked at the blacked-out phone screen with a puzzled expression, rolled her eyes, and then took out the bank card that Shao Xiaofei had given her from her handbag.
"Hey? Niannian!" Suddenly a loud voice rang out, startling Pei Shasha so much that she dropped the card with a thud.
"Niannian, what are you doing hiding here?" Bai Zhijin stared at her with wide eyes, then picked up the bank card. "What's this? Huh, a bank card?"
"Give it to me..."
"Hey, is there money in here?!"
Bai Zhijin dodged the bank card behind her back, preventing Pei Shasha from getting it, and a playful smile appeared on her face.
"Yes, we have money!" Pei Shasha stamped her feet anxiously. "Five million!"
"Oh, I knew it! You and Xiaoyouzi are such good friends, how could you possibly renege on your debt?" Bai Zhijin smiled. "So you had this money prepared all along, just waiting to buy a gift for Xiaoyuanyuan? Okay, I'll send it to Xiaoyouzi right now!"
After saying that, Bai Zhijin turned and ran away.
Pei Shasha was stunned and followed closely behind.
"Little Yuzu! Niannian has prepared a gift for you, and there's money in the card!"
"Hey, come back here right now!" Pei Shasha was furious. "Who gave you permission to touch my things?"
Are you sure that's yours?
Pei Shasha froze! Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw Qin Yu standing not far away, a slight smile on his lips, his eyes full of coldness and mockery.
