Following Gao Yixin's gaze, Wen's father glanced at the workbench:
"It seems like some storage location needs to be replaced? I'm not quite sure, I've been busy with this these past few days."
"Oh... have you finished your work for today?"
Yixin stretched out her finger and drew circles on his chest.
"Um!"
...
The camera returns to Morning Star Villa.
Bai Puti took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"uncle……"
"Haha, how's Captain Bai doing lately?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is being in a girl group tiring?"
"It's fine, not bad... Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?"
Seeing that Ti Zi was being so direct, the middle-aged man stopped exchanging pleasantries and got down to business:
"Uh...it's nothing important, it's just...I'm a little short on cash lately..."
How much do you want this time?
"Eighty million US dollars!"
"What do you need so much money for! Didn't I just transfer 60 million to you last month?"
Ti Zi gritted her teeth. This month, Morning Star and her team were on vacation, so she had no income at all. All the savings she had accumulated from the missions had been taken away.
All that's left is the pocket money that Shuangcheng and Senior Lingxi gave her.
But she can't use that money for this!
The middle-aged man seemed to be provoked by her questioning and immediately roared:
"Bai Bodhi! I respect you and call you Captain Bai! If I didn't respect you, calling you a murderer wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"Your daughter, whom you raised for over a decade, was killed by a bomb in a high tower because of your order?"
"Am I wrong to ask you for money? If my daughter were alive, would I need you?"
"Besides, didn't you say you'd take care of me in my old age? What? My daughter's only been dead a few years, and you're already going back on your word?"
“No…” Ti Zi’s eyes reddened, and she clenched her fists tightly. “Give me some time… I’ll call you in a couple of days…”
Hearing the former say this, the middle-aged man smiled, and his tone softened considerably:
"Sorry, Captain Bai, I've been in a bad mood these past few days. Something came up at the company, and it's my daughter's birthday in Canada..."
"Okay, Captain Bai, just transfer the money to me tomorrow, it's quite urgent..."
"good…"
Bai Puti hung up the phone and sat down on the ground, utterly exhausted.
This man was Maruko's father; the two met at the funeral. (Chapter 160: The Girl Who Died in the Tower Bombing.)
Initially, Ti Zi felt too guilty about her comrade's death, so she thought of sending money to their parents to fulfill her filial duty to them...
But most of them refused to accept it and even blocked Bai Puti's contact information.
This intensified Tizi's guilt to an extreme degree, until Maruko's father first found her...
"call…"
Bai Putuo rubbed his face, his eyes clouded as he looked up at the night sky.
There's no moon today... just like that other day...
Just as she was lost in thought, the door suddenly opened, and Yu Jianing walked out in slippers.
"What's wrong, little one? Is something bothering you?"
Xiao Ning looked at her reddened eyes, then flirtatiously wrapped her arms around her neck and straddled her lap.
"Xiao Ning!"
Bai Puti awkwardly put his arm around her waist. The unique fragrance emanating from her instantly disrupted all her painful thoughts!
"Don't you want to tell your sister?"
The scumbag woman leaned closer to her ear, and the two got even closer together. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were conjoined twins from the new century.
"Many things I kept to myself, I eventually just stopped saying them. After being disappointed by so many things, I really stopped caring..."
"But this process was too long and painful."
"Little Ning..."
Ti Zi paused for a moment, clearly not expecting the other person to suddenly become serious.
"I hope you..."
"If you feel wronged, come to me. You can confide anything to me."
Even if it's not specific, just a few words will do; the point is not to keep it to yourself.
"Don't suffer in silence; it's heartbreaking to see you suffer like this."
Yu Jianing gently stroked her head.
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen Ti Zi with such an expression!
He swallowed the flirtatious words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Is there still a bit of maternal instinct overflowing now?
I don't know if it was the words of that scoundrel that had an effect, or if Bai Bodhi was just too uncomfortable.
After a pause, he roughly finished speaking.
"I have an uncle, and because of some things, I send him money every month. At first it wasn't a lot, but..."
“Last month I transferred him 60 million US dollars, and this month he asked me for another 80 million US dollars, I…”
"???"
Yu Jianing opened her eyes wide and leaned back tactically to cup her small face.
The motherly love just now had become somewhat distorted!
"How much did you transfer to him last month? Sixty million? Or in US dollars?"
"Oh right? What's wrong?" Bai Puti looked at her in confusion.
"What's wrong? No! What's your uncle doing?! He spends 60 million US dollars a month! And this month he wants 80 million! He wants to buy stars!"
Xiao Ning rubbed Ti Zi's face until it was deformed.
It's worse to not have spent all that money on myself than to have her stabbed me!
Jelly Ball: "Little Lemon...we can't do this..."
"Hmm..." Bai Puti was afraid that she would fall if she didn't behave, so he didn't let go of her waist.
But what the other person said really stumped her!
Why does Maruko's dad need so much money? Is he just trying to squeeze money out of me?
I don't think I've ever asked these questions before...
"You're not going to transfer eighty million US dollars, are you?!" Seeing that she didn't say anything, the scumbag woman suddenly became anxious.
This so-called uncle is obviously suspicious. What kind of good person spends so much money every month?
The current exchange rate is 7.1271!
What's wrong, Uncle? Are you going to start a rebellion and take down that rich girl's family?
Isn't that outrageous!
As their warm-hearted older sister, how could I allow such a thing to happen!
Thinking that she had reached behind her back and untied something, she pressed herself tightly against Bai Puti again.
He whispered in her ear in a very suggestive tone:
"Bodhi...does your manicure look nice, sister? Would it look even better if you removed two strands?"
"Want to see? If you give half of the money you give to your uncle to your sister every month, I'll let you see it!"
At first glance, what she said seemed very serious, but upon reflection, it didn't seem to be the case.
Bai Puti was completely dumbfounded by this roundabout and indecisive talk about how the yellow ball hit him; his brain had gone into a crash mode!
"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you need to think about it?" Xiao Ning mischievously blew into her earlobe.
Ti Zi felt a sudden numbness spread from her spine to half of her body, and her whole body began to tremble violently!
Just as he was about to be taken down by that slut, the rich girl's voice suddenly came from inside the room:
"Xiao Ning, Sister Ya Chi called you!"
"Okay! I'm coming!"
Yu Jianing called out, somewhat disappointed, and stood up to walk towards the room.
As they reached the door, she winked at Tizi and blew her a kiss.
"Think it over carefully, and remember to call your sister~"
