Chapter 371 Because I only know how to cheat people out of their money

"No matter what he looks like, he must be an ugly man. If he falls in love, he will definitely take pictures. Why don't you tell me that there are no pictures?"

Si Chan found the photo.

This is a photo of the two people taken when they met abroad a few days ago.

Charlie didn't want to take a group photo, but Si Chan would take one secretly herself.

This photo is a product of candid photography.

Chu Shengjie took the phone and took a look.

The person in the photo is a foreign man. He is not handsome at all, and his appearance is what Chinese people stereotype foreign men as.

“Very ordinary.”

Chu Shengjie enlarged the photo and looked at it for a long time.

It seems that deep in my memory, there seems to be such a person.

He must have met this man!

Chu Shengjie muttered to himself, "I have seen him before. Where did I see him... four months ago?"

"He is from Country C and has a small fortune. He is on par with our Si family."

"Are you sure?" Chu Shengjie slammed the table excitedly, "I remember where I saw it before, in a casino."

"Casino?"

Everyone at the table looked at Chu Shengjie at the same time.

Chu Shengjie explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't go to the casino to gamble, I was just accompanying a friend to do some work."

He told a lie.

Pei Yi raised the corners of his lips slightly. As an insider, he didn't want to expose Chu Shengjie.

Chu Shengjie tapped his fingers on the table and said solemnly, "Your boyfriend is not a good person, break up with him as soon as possible. The last time we met, I saw that he was so exhausted that he was left with only a pair of pants."

"Chu Shengjie." Si Chan defended her boyfriend, "It's fine if you don't have the ability, but it's even worse to hate the rich."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. What I said is all true."

Si Chan pouted and didn't believe it at all.

Pei Yi opened his lips and said, "Show me the photo."

Si Chan didn't want to give it.

Chu Shengjie regarded these words as an imperial decree. When Pei Yi said he wanted to see it, he stubbornly snatched Si Chan's phone.

Si Chan was so angry that her neck turned red. "How disrespectful."

Pei Yi took one look at the photo, and then put the phone back.

Then he smiled playfully and said nothing.

Si Chan felt cold for no reason.

Pei Yi is a man with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Could it be that he knows something?

Si Chan's mind was filled with the smile just now, and a feeling of uneasiness had already begun to spread in her heart.

Qiu Manman finished eating the nuts in her hand and finished watching the show.

"Did you smile?"

Qiu Manman asked.

Pei Yi actually smiled in front of her this time, "You care about me so much?"

"Sister, ignore him."

Xiao Zeyu couldn't stand a man showing off in front of his sister.

Especially Pei Yi, who has no self-awareness at all.

I wonder if his sister is married.

The dishes that everyone ordered have been served. As for Si Chan's private life and emotional issues, no one cares much.

Qiu Manman just wanted to try the food in this restaurant.

The director raised his glass and said, "Celebrate the success of our variety show!"

"celebrate."

"Congratulations."

"It's all thanks to the director's good leadership."

Qiu Manman cooked attentively while her brother removed fish bones for her.

"Second brother, you eat it yourself. I have hands and can pick out fish bones myself." She felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. I'm your brother. I'll take care of you even if you have hands."

Xiao Zeyu picked out another piece for her.

Qiu Manman: "Second brother is so nice. He keeps the bodies warm in the middle of winter."

"Sister, you are so partial to one and unfair to the other. Aren't you afraid that I will jump off the building?"

Pei Yi had a stern face.

Qiu Manman glanced out the window.

Pei Yi was stunned.

Didn't her look confirm that she really had that thought just now?

"I'm not partial." Qiu Manman started to pick up the dishes. She went around the table several times, picking up the dishes back and forth, making Pei Yi's bowl full.

Autumn is smiling carefreely, with curved eyebrows and eyes.

"Good boy, finish this, or I'll take it as if you're upset with me."

Pei Yi: "No dissatisfaction."

Successfully used these dishes to make Pei Yi shut up.

Pei Yi keeping his mouth shut made Qiu Manman feel much more relieved.

Si Chan opposite had no appetite.

After all this trouble, she really had no appetite.

My boyfriend Charlie gave me a fake diamond bracelet?

With Charlie's identity, it's absolutely impossible!

There is only one possibility left, that is, being cheated.

Si Chan couldn't doubt her boyfriend, she was inclined to believe that Charlie was deceived.

"Eat, I have something to take care of."

Si Chan left the meeting midway.

She also held the bracelet in her hand and took it away.

…

Downstairs, Si Chan found an empty space with no one around and dialed a familiar phone number.

"Honey, do you have time now? Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Charlie responded without hesitation, and it wasn't long before they confirmed their relationship.

It is during the passionate love period.

Charlie naturally hopes that Si Chan can cultivate more feelings with him.

"Baby, you finished eating so quickly? Did you eat well? You must not be hungry, or I will feel bad."

"Do you like the bracelet I gave you?"

Si Chan suddenly fell silent.

Charlie was very sensitive to the mood of the woman on the other end of the phone.

Relatively low.

Encountered some unhappy things?

Charlie understood, "Baby, are you in a bad mood?"

"Charlie, is this bracelet really the work of that master designer?"

Charlie's expression was frozen, looking very unnatural. Fortunately, it was not a video call, otherwise clues would have been seen long ago.

Charlie: "Of course, that's my good brother who helped me contact the designer."

"Baby, are you dissatisfied with the bracelet? It doesn't matter. I'll give you a better one someday."

Si Chan was overjoyed.

Charlie's emotional value is too abundant.

At this point, she became more and more convinced that Charlie was deceived.

"Charlie, you've been duped."

"The diamonds on the bracelet are fake! They made me embarrassed in front of others today!"

Charlie became even more angry. "How could it be fake? No, how can you be sure that the diamonds on the bracelet are fake? Have you had it appraised?"

"Not yet. I'm getting ready to go."

Si Chan also knows about the hardness of diamonds.

What can a diamond that can crack be real?

Zuo Lan saved her face, and the grudge between the two of them was settled.

"Baby, don't go. Leave it to me. I won't let them go. It's unreasonable for them to take advantage of me."

Charlie was getting angrier and angrier.

Si Chan: "Dear, there are so many bad people around you, I'm really worried that you will suffer."

"It's good to have a baby who loves me."

Si Chan's eyes rolled around as she came up with a plan, "Honey, can I go to Country C to find you? Long-distance relationships are so hard."

"Yes," Charlie agreed immediately, and then changed the subject, "It's just a little difficult. I'm busy with an investment in Country C, and there have been some minor problems with the capital chain recently."

"Is it serious?"

"It's serious, but it's not serious either. It can be solved with a little money."

Charlie didn't seem to take the question seriously.

Si Chan's heart finally settled down, and she naturally hoped that everything would go well.

After all, she was still waiting to marry into the family and enjoy life as a young lady.

Charlie chatted with her for a few words and then hung up.

When she unlocked her phone again, Si Chan found that Charlie had transferred her a small sum of 520,000 yuan.

PS: Let my baby relax.

Si Chan took the money proudly.

There are more and more heavy snow days in Beijing.

Half a month before the Chinese New Year, it snowed heavily and the weather was even colder.

Her investment businesses are all developing steadily.

Qiu Manman, who had nothing to do, just lay down at home.

In the middle of winter, no one wants to go out to work.

It was snowing heavily outside, and Qiu Manman took out two popsicles from the refrigerator.

Give one to Xiaoshi.

Eat one by yourself.

Xiao Shi ate red bean flavored popsicles and chatted with her about the latest gossip.

Qiu Manman took a bite of the matcha popsicle, opened her Moments, and was flooded with comments.

Bai Ying and Sang Linghui confirmed their relationship.

Sang Linghui has... finally caught up with the person.

Qiu Manman's comment: [I got to eat swan meat.]

Sang Linghui replied: [Thanks to you.]

"There is one more couple in the world and two fewer singles."

Xiao Shi thought worriedly: "I don't know when I can fall in love. Winter is too cold. I also want to hold hands."

"Really want to talk?"

Xiao Shi changed her words while Sihasiha ate her popsicle, "I was just talking nonsense. This kind of love is not suitable for me. If I really fall in love, I will definitely be cheated out of money."

"Not really, you are sober."

Qiu Manman didn't believe it.

Xiao Shi talked about her past and future.

"After I graduated from high school, I worked part-time to earn tuition fees. I met a colleague of my own age, and we got along so well that we got into a relationship."

"Who would have known that during the ten days he was with me, he was dating three people at the same time."

"He told me he had no money for food, so I transferred 2,000 yuan to him via kuakua."

"He came to pick me up on a rainy day with a torn umbrella and told me that the umbrella had been stolen and this was the last one he had."

"I'm not feeling sorry for the man! I just transferred another thousand yuan to him."

"We were together for 18 days and he cheated me out of 4,000 yuan!!"

Qiu Manman opened her mouth and couldn't close her chin.

Xiao Shi placed her palm under her chin and closed her mouth.

"I have a hidden love mind. I must never fall in love. If I do, I will definitely be cheated of money;"

Qiu Manman finished eating the popsicle.

"Then I'm still suitable for dating, because I only know how to cheat people out of their money."

She has the ability, but she has never done it.

Come into this world and enter into marriage directly.

It is reasonable and legal to spend your husband's money.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, most people will be busy visiting relatives and friends.

As an adult woman of the new era, Qiu Manman keeps things as simple as possible.

She has few friends.

I only sent a New Year's red envelope of 8,888 to Su Qingyun, with whom I had a good relationship, and skipped the visit.

The only relative left is the Xiao family from Country A.

I've been browsing Chinese New Year-related topics for two days in a row.

The comments section describes visiting relatives and friends as extremely interesting.

In a split second, Qiu Manman noticed...

I've never heard Si Zhuo talk about his relatives on his mother's side?

At 7:30 in the evening, Si Zhuo finished his last shift before the New Year and applied for leave.

Qiu Manman was wearing her homely coral fleece pajamas and handed him a bouquet of flowers the moment he entered the door.

"Good evening."

"What day is today? Why did you prepare flowers?"

Si Zhuo bent down and smelled it. It was just an ordinary rose, without any special fragrance.

Qiu Manman took his arm, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and asked curious questions.

"husband."

"Do you have any uncles, aunts or other relatives still alive? I've never heard you mention it. Are your grandparents still alive?"

“…”

This is not a difficult question to answer.

Si Zhuo fell silent.

After a moment, Si Zhuo held her hand and said, "They are not good people. Don't get in touch with them."

"Not a good person?"

This explanation can also convince Qiu Manman.

Si Zhuo understood her and knew that she wanted to know more.

"My mother is the third daughter in the family. The eldest daughter was sent abroad by my grandfather to maintain power."

"My second daughter was sent to be someone else's stepmother as a favor."

"My mother was also going to be sent for a business marriage, but she was smart and didn't want to be sacrificed, so she took all her identity documents and ran away from home."

"She successfully completed college on her own, but her family found her and tried to force her to return."

"It didn't work because my mother had already joined the state unit."

Qiu Manman was envious from the bottom of her heart.

This is an independent woman.

No wonder Si Zhuo's father is so obsessed with his mother.

Based on this life experience, she is destined to be not an ordinary woman.

"From what you said, I can tell that the family is extremely self-centered. It would be best if they didn't come to you to ask for favors."

Si Zhuo smiled faintly, "More than 20 years ago, they went bankrupt, and now the family lives in an unknown city."

"How did you go bankrupt?"

"you guess."

[This is not simple. It must be your father's spoiled wife who did this.]

[This is how all these bosses in novels pamper their wives. ]

Si Zhuo: Unfortunately, no.

"Their family went bankrupt because of my mother's revenge."

"Beautiful!" Qiu Manman's eyes sparkled. "My mother-in-law is vindictive. I admire her so much."

"Is there anything else you want to know?"

Si Zhuo became playful and hooked a strand of her hair.

Qiu Manman's doubts have been answered, and it's time to take advantage of the situation to make a small request.

"We will fly to Country A again before the Chinese New Year to pay New Year's greetings."

Si Zhuo agreed.

"Why don't you ask me why I want to go there again before the New Year?"

Si Zhuo hugged her tightly, closed his eyes and buried his head in her neck, "I don't want to ask."

"This is the first time I have a family. I have never visited relatives before the Chinese New Year. Most importantly, I went to Country A in advance to receive red envelopes for Chinese New Year greetings."

…

The departure time for Country A was scheduled for a week before the Chinese New Year.

——Country A

Xiao Yanyu sent a car to pick them up, but Yun Yaxin only received the news after they landed in Country A.

She didn't get enough rest these two days and has been in a bad mood, so she was surprised to hear that Qiu Manman was coming to Country A to pay New Year's greetings.

I no longer feel dizzy.

I feel stronger now.

He hurriedly left the Yun family and went to the airport to intercept the Xiao family's car.

The first family member Qiu Manman met was Yun Yaxin.

Yun Yaxin had delicate makeup on. She smiled and stretched out her hand, "Manman, come here and give me a hug."

“Here I come!”

Autumn is slowly coming.

Several people got in the car and it drove towards the Yun family.

Xiao Yanyu was in a sad mood when he picked up a passenger at the airport.

Driver: “How?”

Xiao Yanyu: "Don't mess around, I must take this daughter back, this is too much! I was here first, why are you treating me like this?"

The driver shook his head, expressing his sympathy for the old father.

In front of Yun Yaxin, Xiao Yanyu has no initiative.

Even though they had arrived so long in advance, when the time came, my daughter was still taken away by my wife.

Xiao Yanyu felt only a little uncomfortable, but he adjusted himself after getting in the car.

"Since my daughter has gone to the Yun family, can I go too?"

The driver ruthlessly broke his beautiful fantasy: "Do you still remember that about two days ago, you went to see your wife in a slightly drunk state and she chased you away?"
