Shangguan Yanran was pondering what to eat when she heard this and said with a smile, "Don't be like that. His money will be yours sooner or later. He's just spending it earlier now. You don't need to feel guilty."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
"What?" Shangguan Yanran was stunned.
"Didn't we agree to split it equally?" Rong Qingqing gave her a cool look. Since things had already turned out that way, she figured she might as well take it.
Shangguan Yanran had no choice but to count out five hundred taels of silver notes for her.
Rong Qingqing took it and put it into her purse.
She decided to treat Shangguan Yanran to a good meal, so she chose to eat at her own Wangchunlou restaurant, thinking it best not to let the good stuff go to outsiders.
Finally, they also invited Manager Liu and her team over.
Rong Qingqing ordered a large table of dishes, and everyone enjoyed the meal. However, when Shangguan Yanran paid the bill, her heart was bleeding, and she looked at Rong Qingqing with resentment.
Rong Qingqing looked up at the sky.
Shangguan Yanran: "..."
It was already dark when we came out of Wangchun Tower.
After Manager Liu and the others left, Rong Qingqing and Shangguan Yanran walked for a while. Because the two mansions were not in the same direction, they parted ways at a fork in the road.
Rong Qingqing walked along the street.
It was just getting dark, around dinnertime, so there weren't many people on the road.
Looking at the empty streets, she suddenly felt playful and started kicking the pebbles on the road.
She kicked the stones around, and they rolled into the middle of the road.
Just as she was about to walk over and continue kicking the pebbles, she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her.
She turned her head and saw a group of people and horses galloping towards her in the twilight.
The horses were very tall and strong, and the galloping procession was very orderly, with even the frequency of the horses' hooves landing almost the same.
She felt a little strange, and when she saw the group approaching, she stepped back a bit.
Soon, the procession rushed past her. She looked up and saw that the person in the lead had an eagle embroidered in gold thread on his black cloak, which was billowing in the wind.
With its cape billowing in the wind, the eagle seemed about to take flight.
She glanced at it only once before looking away and continuing to walk forward.
But then, the marching column suddenly turned back.
The man in the lead reined in his horse in front of her.
Because the horse was going too fast and was suddenly stopped, it let out a long neigh and raised its front hooves high.
Rong Qingqing was startled, clutched her chest, and took a few steps back, not understanding what was wrong with this person.
She was a little annoyed, but when she looked up, she was surprised to find that the person was staring at her in a daze.
The other person appeared to be in his thirties, with handsome and resolute features, yet his eyes exuded a heavy, ruthless aura, making him very imposing and intimidating.
She was stunned.
“Lan Yin…”
The man looked at her and suddenly murmured something under his breath.
Before Rong Qingqing could react, she saw him suddenly jump off his horse and walk towards her.
Seeing the man walking towards her with an intimidating aura, Rong Qingqing turned and ran.
Has she encountered a mentally ill person?
However, she only took one step before the man's rough hand grabbed her wrist.
Rong Qingqing tried to shake him off, but the other person's hand was like iron, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
"Sigh, uncle, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?" Rong Qingqing was on the verge of tears, and could only calm herself down and think of a solution.
Upon hearing this address, the man paused for a moment, then immediately released his grip.
But a pair of hawk-like eyes were sharply fixed on Rong Qingqing.
