Chapter 46 Taking Advantage
Upon hearing this, Sun Caifeng, who was standing by, turned her head and looked at Qian Li in surprise.
"Sorry, it's not convenient." Xu Sichen refused with a smile, but the smile did not show in his eyes.
A completely stranger so-called neighbor asked to borrow money right away. How shameless he was.
But she wasn't surprised.
After all, when she went out in the kayak, she was in front of the entire community, so she naturally expected that someone would come to her door later.
I thought someone might come and give me a ride.
Unexpectedly, someone came without any courtesy at all.
The smile on Qian Li's face froze for a moment.
She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Caifeng beside her: "Qian Li, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree to take a ride? How did it become a loan?"
Qian Li was not convinced and thought that Xu Sichen was so rich, so what was wrong with borrowing the kayak.
But seeing the indifference on Xu Sichen's face, he was worried that if he upset her, she would not even want to take the boat, so he changed his words and followed Sun Caifeng: "Yes, yes, yes, you see, my brain is confused and I easily say the wrong thing. It's about taking the boat, not borrowing it."
Sun Caifeng: "Miss Xu, I'm sorry, she made a mistake. We don't want to borrow a kayak. We just wanted to see if we could take a ride on it while you're shopping at the supermarket."
After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly at Xu Sichen.
There was a hint of regret in my heart.
I shouldn't have come up here with Qian Li.
Before we came up, we had clearly agreed that we only wanted to take a ride on the boat, how come it suddenly became borrowing it?
You know, the whole city is flooded now, and things like kayaks that can travel on water are almost priceless.
If it is damaged, there is no place to pay for it even if you ask someone to pay for it.
It is already a kind thing to agree to give a stranger a ride, so why would you lend it?
Xu Sichen thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
The words of these two people reminded her of something.
Although she had collected a lot of supplies from all over the world, it would be somewhat suspicious if she did not participate in the stockpiling in public.
As a thank you for their reminder, Xu Sichen agreed to their request to take the boat.
When Sun Caifeng and Qian Li heard this, their faces immediately lit up with joy.
"Ms. Xu, we received news that a new batch of grain and oil will arrive at Yongfeng Supermarket at 1 pm. How about we go to the supermarket together this afternoon to take a look?"
Since there was nothing urgent at home, Xu Sichen agreed.
It’s a good opportunity to go and see what the situation is like outside.
Sun Caifeng: "Don't worry, your kayak will definitely not be in vain. We can pay for it."
"Oh, Sister Sun, you're being so polite. We're neighbors, helping each other. How can you ask for money?" Qian Li smiled at Xu Sichen. "And look at Miss Xu. The house on this floor is hers. How could she be short of that little money?"
Xu Sichen smiled and said, "I'm short of it."
Qian Li: ...
The three of them agreed on a time and then went home separately.
Xu Sichen closed the door and heard Qian Li's complaints from the video doorbell outside: "Sister Sun, why are you asking for money when there's nothing wrong? We're just neighbors, it's just a ride, why are you paying for it? And that girl is so stingy, she actually asked for money. She's so rich, but she's still so stingy."
Without hearing Sun Caifeng's voice, the two of them had already walked into the stairwell on the side.
Xu Sichen just smiled and didn't care.
Just an insignificant person, nothing to worry about.
At noon, Xu Sichen decided to eat Sichuan cuisine.
Kung Pao Chicken, Boiled Pork Slices, Mapo Tofu, with their spicy and fresh taste, made her finish three bowls of rice.
But it was still so spicy that her mouth was swollen.
I threw a piece of mint gum to dilute the spicy taste in my mouth, then changed into a windbreaker, put on an oversized backpack, and went out and downstairs.
The building was flooded and the elevator had long been out of service.
Xu Sichen walked down the stairs and met several community owners gathered in the corridor smoking and chatting.
The content of the chat was nothing more than how deep the water had risen in a certain place, how all express deliveries for online shopping had stopped, and how the delivery people had to use kayaks.
"I heard from the property management that the water on the first floor of our community is over one meter deep today. How much deeper must it be in other places?"
"Luckily, the first floor of our community is all elevated. If there were people living there, it would be terrible."
…
Xu Sichen went down to the second floor and saw Sun Caifeng and Qian Li already waiting on the staircase platform between the first and second floors.
In addition to the two people, there was also a short and fat middle-aged man standing next to them.
Xu Sichen stopped and looked at Sun Caifeng, his eyes filled with inquiry: Who is this man?
Sun Caifeng introduced herself awkwardly and helplessly, "He's Qian Li's husband, Wu Dawei. He wants to go shopping with us."
"Yes, my husband is going with us!"
Qian Li pulled the man and said with a smile, "I think Miss Xu won't mind. I heard that there are a lot of people going to the supermarket to buy things now. The three of us women will definitely not be able to compete with others. With my husband here, we will be safer anyway."
"Sorry, I mind." Xu Sichen crossed his arms across his chest, looking unhappy.
The smile on Qian Li's face froze. "Why? It's just a matter of one more person, why are you so stingy? We can just pay for two people, right?"
"No, I don't like being on a boat with a strange man." Xu Sichen said in a cold voice: "Either let your husband go back, or you and your husband go back together."
Qian Li and Wu Dawei's faces both darkened.
"Ms. Xu, isn't it too much to deal with a strange man? We are all neighbors in the same community, and there will be many opportunities to get along with each other in the future. Besides, you are a little girl living alone. If anything happens, you have to rely on us neighbors. Now we go out shopping together, so we can get to know each other in advance." Wu Dawei looked at Xu Sichen with a forced smile.
There was even a hint of threat in those words.
But who is Xu Sichen?
How could a ghost crawling back from hell care?
If you really do something and offend her, we’ll settle the matter after the end of the world!
"Okay, just tell me whether you want to leave or not. If not, I'll go back."
She looked impatient and really didn't want to waste time with them. Wouldn't it be better for her to go back to the space and sort out the supplies?
"You--" Qian Li was stopped by Sun Caifeng as soon as she opened her mouth.
Fearing that the purchase would be ruined, Sun Caifeng quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Qian Li, didn't we agree that it would just be the three of us? I wouldn't want you to suddenly add someone else. Besides, this kayak is not big to begin with. If more people go, there won't be enough space to put things."
Then he turned to Wu Dawei and advised, "Dawei, didn't your family also register to buy the kayak? I heard from Lao Qin that it will arrive in three days at the latest. Let Qian Li buy some necessities today. Once the kayak is delivered, you can go together."
