The next day, Zhu Yuan bid farewell to Grandpa Zhen and Grandma Li, and prepared to leave with the several large bags of luggage that Zhen Wanwan had prepared for him.
Before he could mount his horse, she pulled him aside.
Zhen Wanwan looked around to make sure no one was there before she confidently pulled out the small pistol she had prepared.
This was the money she had left, which she used to buy these nice things after borrowing half a month's worth of the department store's revenue.
Zhu Yuan picked up this oddly shaped piece of iron, and to his surprise, it looked small but was quite heavy.
Zhen Wanwan fidgeted and said shyly, "This is my betrothal gift to you! You must keep it safe, it's a lifesaver!"
"Bride price?" Zhu Yuan was stunned. Wasn't this the bride price he had given her?
"Yes! You gave me so many things last night, wouldn't it be very impolite if I didn't reciprocate?"
After the ceremony last night, the two returned home. Before going into the house, Zhu Yuan took out all his savings.
They said they were husband and wife, and that he would work hard outside to earn money so that she could stay home and enjoy a comfortable life.
Although Zhen Wanwan was happy with this, she felt embarrassed to receive so many nice things from someone else at once.
That's why he was so generous, using the rest of his money to buy a new handgun.
After teaching Zhuyuan in detail how to use it, she kept reminding him of the precautions.
"Remember! You absolutely must not forget what I told you!"
This thing is no joke; it's extremely lethal.
In this era where even a cold can be fatal, if you accidentally get burned, you'll have to wait until the next life.
Zhu Yuan stared intently at the black iron in his hand; its design was simple and unremarkable.
It doesn't look like it has any hidden mechanisms. I wonder if, as Wan'er said, once shot, even a god couldn't save you.
He never doubted what Zhen Wanwan said, but given his upbringing, it was always better to be cautious.
Even subordinates who have been with you for many years will be viewed with suspicion.
Now that he has obtained this mechanism, he still needs to find an opportunity to verify it.
Only by being careful in everything can we avoid being trapped under a crumbling wall.
Zhu Yuan looked at the woman in front of him with tender eyes and couldn't help but tuck her stray hairs behind her ear.
He then chuckled and replied, "Thank you for the weapon you crafted for me, Madam. I will remember every word you said and never forget it."
Hearing the seriousness in the other person's words, Zhen Wanwan finally smiled with satisfaction.
She then squeezed his strong, muscular arm, taking advantage of him before leaving.
"You're mine now, so you have to take good care of yourself. When you come back, I'll marry you! I'll protect you from now on!"
Zhu Yuan was amused by her boastful words.
He suddenly remembered something and whispered a few words in Zhen Wanwan's ear.
Zhen Wanwan's eyes lit up and then dimmed, as if she had heard some earth-shattering secret.
Even after Zhu Yuan and his men left, she was still in a daze.
Granny Zhang looked at her worriedly: "Madam, what's wrong? Has the young master left you with some problems?"
Suddenly, Zhen Wanwan grabbed Zhang Mama, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with grief!
Zhang Mama was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she wanted to catch up with Zhuyuan and get the truth out of him!
Zhen Wanwan felt like her heart was about to break. She wanted to immediately crawl into her spatial dimension and tear Tmall Genie apart!
So much silver! It's only for looking at, not for using!
Ignoring Zhang Mama's presence, Zhen Wanwan casually reassured her, "Mama, please take care of Guabao and Tianbao for me. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. Don't bother looking for me, I'll be back in a little while!"
She couldn't let others know about the space, and since there were people at home, it wasn't convenient for her to stay in her room all the time, so she had no choice but to go to the back mountain.
Find a secluded spot, sneak into the space, and settle accounts with the machine!
Zhen Wanwan bypassed the clutter on the ground and walked directly to the Tmall Genie.
It no longer showed the same tenderness as before, and roughly shook its cold body.
"Fine! Old Cat! I treated you like royalty, and you treated me like a sucker! You vile capitalist, spit out my jade pendant now!"
That's two million taels! With her current money-making skills, she'd have to work for two thousand years.
As a result, this unscrupulous merchant, Tmall Genie, took advantage of her vulnerability and tricked her into paying off her debt with the jade pendant when she had no other choice!
Just thinking about this makes her heart ache!
Just now, Zhu Yuan told her that if she didn't have enough money, she could use the jade pendant he gave her to go directly to the bank to get more money.
Moreover, the amount of deposits is astonishingly large!
Two million taels! What does that even mean?!
Moreover, this is just spare money; there's no need to sell assets, and it can be withdrawn at any time.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Please do not shake it violently to prevent the machine from malfunctioning!"
A red exclamation mark kept appearing on the screen, meant to remind Zhen Wanwan to calm down.
Considering that Tmall Genie still has great uses, Zhen Wanwan forced herself not to disassemble the machine.
However, his face was still burning with anger, and he exuded a menacing aura. If others saw him, they would probably take a detour.
However, what she faced was an emotionless robot.
Seeing that Tmall Genie had returned to normal, Zhen Wanwan angrily questioned, "You swindler! You ripped me off so badly, and you still keep saying I'm stingy! Don't you know why I'm stingy? If it weren't for you, I would be rich by now!"
If she hadn't been so desperate to save someone, she wouldn't have fallen victim to Tmall Genie's scheme and had to pawn her jade pendant, worth two million taels of silver.
Tmall Genie: "The transaction is complete and cannot be reversed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan jumped up and down in a panic, feeling as if her heart was being sliced off piece by piece by countless blades.
"No matter what, I'm your customer now! I'm your god! If you don't give it back to me, I'll never buy anything from your store again!"
Despite the threats, it remained unscarred.
Instead, she became less and less confident as she spoke, and she had to admit that the features in Tmall Genie were quite appealing to her!
Aside from the high price, there are no other drawbacks.
Seeing that Tmall Genie remained unmoved, Zhen Wanwan gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
Without saying a word, I laid out all the house-demolition tools in front of it.
"Are you sure you can't repent? Sigh! Old Cat! We've depended on each other for so long, surely we have some feelings for each other!"
"I'm really in a difficult position with you like this! To be honest, this jade pendant is really important to me."
“If you’re willing to return it to me, I won’t let you suffer a loss. I’ll buy ten or eight jade pendants to give to you as compensation.”
Zhen Wanwan lured him with a reward, squatted down to pick up the screwdriver, and looked at the Tmall Genie with a smile.
"If you don't want to, then I'm sorry, but my hands have been itching to take things apart these past few days. I see you have quite a few screws on you, and I'm really curious about them. I happen to have some time, so can I borrow them to play with?"
