Chapter 62 I should definitely have a shovel for digging up treasure.
Fu Sinian was taken aback and blinked. He knew that the Shen family wanted to take away the luxury house from Lin Muyan. To be honest, the luxury house on the hillside was also a treasure in the eyes of the Fu family. It was not surprising that it brought out the greedy side of the Shen family.
However, he had already placed his own people in the villa on the hillside, and he would take action if the Shen family made any move to seize the house.
Lin Muyan took a deep breath. She had given 100 million to the Shen family, so she had no choice but to accept it. She couldn't very well ask for it back, or it would make her seem dishonest and like she was trying to deny it.
Moreover, she didn't think she could get that 100 million back.
But Mrs. Shen and Chairman Shen probably won't be satisfied with this; they must still be eyeing the safe house.
Fortunately, after taking possession of the house that day, although the fence had not yet been removed, the security system of the safe house had already been activated, making it impossible for the Shen family to sneak in.
Lin Muyan took a deep breath and looked at Fu Sinian.
"Let's keep this separate. Consider it a debt of one hundred million to you, and I'll find a way to pay you back."
Although it is unlikely that she can raise so much money in the short term unless she takes out a loan, she does not have the energy to deal with loan companies. Given her current financial situation, loan companies are unlikely to help her bear the risk.
Fu Sinian agreed verbally, but he didn't take it seriously. The money was gone, so be it. He just needed to appease Lin Muyan first. He wouldn't worry about paying back the money; it was just a hundred million.
Nighttime, Shen family villa.
After confirming that the door was locked, Shen Jiaojiao stared at the large bag of shovels on the carpet in front of her, her heart pounding with tension.
She collected over eighty shovels, which cost her more than 800,000 yuan!
However, it was all worth it; she's not short of money now.
Daddy did indeed give her that 100 million. Daddy said:
"Jiaojiao, Daddy doesn't know how to make it up to you. Daddy has plenty of money. You are my own daughter, and all my money will be yours in the future. This 100 million is what Lin Muyan paid back. Daddy has already transferred it to your account. This is what she owes you, what the Lin family owes you!"
Daddy also said that the future of the Shen family would be in her hands, and that she must strive to surpass Lin Muyan and become the pride of the Shen family.
But her father gives her money and doesn't believe her. The dream she had about predicting the future must not be a coincidence; it must be a sign from God. She is special.
Neither her father nor her mother believed her, so she had to figure out how to prepare for the end of the world on her own.
With money, one can stockpile goods, and with people assigned by one's father to run errands, this matter is not difficult to handle.
The difficult part is the shovel that can dig out all sorts of treasures; since you can dream about it, it must belong to her.
We mustn't let her down with this pile of shovels that cost us over 800,000 yuan.
Half an hour later, Shen Jiaojiao's face was terribly dark. In front of her was a pile of all kinds of children's toy shovels, but every single one of them was broken and scattered on the ground.
The wooden floor in front of her was also riddled with holes, showing how much effort she had put into trying to "dig for treasure".
"No, something must have gone wrong. I should have had a treasure shovel, so I could have a smooth ride in the apocalypse. I should be the lucky one. I'll go to the park again tomorrow. I have plenty of money, plenty of money..."
Slumped on the carpet, Shen Jiaojiao was lost in thought, muttering something incessantly. Her eyes were vacant and somewhat dazed. Her hands were covered in blood and scratches, and she felt nothing at all.
The ground was littered with shovel fragments, a testament to how frantically she had vented her anger.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the doorknob turning. Shen Jiaojiao snapped back to reality and heard Mrs. Shen's voice outside the door.
"Jiaojiao, why did you lock the door? Open the door, Mommy will bring you some fruit."
Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the mess on the ground and her own hands, she quickly declined.
"Mommy, it's too late, I don't want to eat fruit. You should get some rest too."
Mrs. Shen frowned, thinking of how Jiao Jiao had confidently told them that the end of the world was coming and that they had to renovate the house and stockpile supplies immediately. Was it because returning to the Shen family had put too much pressure on the child and that her mental state was not right?
It's simply a matter of perception. She didn't receive proper upbringing in the Lin family, leading to a low level of understanding. She believes whatever she hears online and is easily swayed by rumors.
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Shen immediately took out her key and deftly opened the door.
This door is specially made; no matter if it's locked from the inside, she can open it with this key.
She had kept this in mind in order to prevent Lin Muyan from going through a rebellious phase of adolescence and to keep a close eye on her child's development. However, she never locked the door when Lin Muyan was still around.
Jiaojiao probably lacks a sense of security, which is why she locks her bedroom door at home.
Upon hearing the key enter the spool and the door open easily, Shen Jiaojiao froze on the spot, turning her head to look at Mrs. Shen in disbelief.
"Mommy, how could this be? She clearly locked the door from the inside, so how could Mommy have opened it?"
At this moment, Shen Jiaojiao broke out in a cold sweat, afraid of frightening her mother, but at the same time she was secretly resentful. This was her room, why did her mother have to come in so casually?
Mrs. Shen walked in with a smile, but when she saw the scene inside the house and her daughter's disheveled hair and disheveled appearance, she was obviously startled. For a moment, she forgot what to say and stood at the door, hesitant to come in.
In the end, it was Shen Jiaojiao who broke the awkward situation first. She wiped the blood from her palm, stood up, and forced a smile.
"Mommy, I must have scared you, right? Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. It's just that I've been under a lot of pressure from studying these past few days..."
By the end, Shen Jiaojiao had already lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, looking utterly helpless.
Her mother noticed her disheveled state.
Mrs. Shen came to her senses, a hint of heartache in her eyes, and quickly went over to help Shen Jiaojiao with the medicine on her hands.
She clearly saw the mess on the ground and the things that had been broken into pieces, which looked like children's shovels, and there were quite a few of them, but she didn't ask anything. She just comforted Shen Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. The foundation you built in the Lin family can't be improved in a day or two. I'll talk to your dad and ask him to be more lenient with you. We'll take it slowly."
Shen Jiaojiao nodded readily, looking at Mrs. Shen with teary eyes.
"Mommy, Daddy must be very disappointed in me. I can't learn anything as quickly as Sister Muyan."
Mentioning Lin Muyan immediately caused Mrs. Shen's face to fall.
"Let's not talk about her. You get some rest. Mommy will go and talk to Daddy for you."
After Mrs. Shen left, she did not go to the study to find Shen Shiqiu, but instead brought Shen Jiaojiao's bodyguard over for questioning.
When she learned that Shen Jiaojiao had actually gone to a nearby park during the day and spent nearly a million yuan to buy a bunch of second-hand children's sand shovels, she was thunderstruck.
Based on the toy shovel fragments I just saw in Shen Jiaojiao's room, roughly speaking, Shen Jiaojiao tore up about a million pieces by hand!
At this moment, Mrs. Shen felt like the sky had fallen. Her beloved daughter, whom she had finally managed to bring back, seemed to be mentally ill.
