Chapter 425: Tools for Exchanging Money



The scene of Lan Feng betraying me in the past came to my mind again, and the trust I had built up in her with great difficulty was shaken at this moment.

First it was Q, then Cai Ya.

Is Lan Feng planning to join forces with others to attack me again?

She and Cai Ya had only met once, but just because Cai Ya helped Fang Guoxu find a job, he turned to Cai Ya without hesitation?

I couldn't help but feel nervous and my breathing became rapid.

I don't want to believe that Lan Feng betrayed me again, but I can't help but have doubts in my heart.

I adjusted my breathing, stood up and pretended to be calm as I walked towards the private room.

I have to get to the bottom of this and not be kept in the dark any longer.

I looked around and saw no waiter passing by, so I leaned against the wall and looked inside through the crack in the private room door.

In the private room, Lan Feng and Cai Ya were having a great conversation.

They were talking and laughing, but my heart sank a little.

I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying, but looking at Lan Feng's relaxed smile, she seemed to trust Cai Ya very much.

Then, Cai Ya took out an envelope from her bag and pushed it in front of Lan Feng with a smile.

A nerve in my brain instantly tensed up. Judging from the thickness of the envelope, it should contain cash.

I clenched my fists and couldn't help but think of the last time Lan Feng and Q collaborated to blackmail me for money.

Is she so desperate for money that she would sell me out time and again for money?

The anger in my heart ignited, my trust in Lan Feng collapsed, and at the same time, disappointment also came.

If Lan Feng needed money urgently, she could have asked me directly, but she would rather go to Cai Ya than me. It was obvious that she didn't regard me as a sister at all, but just a tool for her to exchange money with a clear conscience.

I bit my lip tightly, wanting to rush in and question him immediately, but I held myself back as soon as my hand touched the door.

I secretly told myself not to be impulsive. Before figuring out everything, if I rushed in rashly, I would only alert the enemy and would not be able to get any evidence against them.

"Miss, are you from this private room?"

I was startled when I heard the waiter's question behind me. I turned around and saw the waiter who had just passed by. He was looking at me with suspicion.

I suppressed the panic in my eyes and scratched my head pretending to be embarrassed.

"Look at me. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I got dizzy wandering around the restaurant. Can you tell me where the bathroom is?"

The waiter was skeptical about what I said, but still reached out and pointed the way for me.

"Thank you."

The waiter stood beside me and I had to leave through the door of the private room.

I just ordered a glass of water. If I didn't order any food in time, it would only make the waiter more suspicious. But I had an appointment with Qiu Qiu to have dinner together, so I had no choice but to leave the restaurant.

I still feel a little unwilling. I don't feel at ease until I figure out what is going on between Lan Feng and Cai Ya.

At this moment, Qiu Qiu called.

"Shanshan, where are you? I'm done with my work. Let's have dinner together."

I looked up at the restaurant entrance. I was afraid that Cai Ya and Lan Feng would not come out for a while, and I didn’t want to disappoint Qiu Qiu.

After hesitating for a moment, I agreed: "Okay, I'll go back right away."

When I returned to Qiu Qiu's shop, I found that she had ordered a lot of takeout and had filled the table.

Qiu Qiu opened a can of beer and placed it in front of me: "Today is a very important day for me, you must have a couple of drinks with me."
