Chapter 20 Give Money
He raised his eyebrows slightly, the movement was elegant and a bit nonchalant, and there was a hint of playfulness in his tone, and asked back: "What else do you want to do?"
"No problem, just give me the money!" Yang Mian answered crisply, her words coming out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. Then, she spread her hands forward with her palms facing up. She looked like a little clown begging for money, and her intention to ask for money was clearly revealed.
Huo Yanshen watched Yang Mian's series of actions quietly. For some reason, a smile welled up in his heart and he laughed out loud unconsciously.
In his long and complicated past, dealing with all kinds of women, this was the first time that a woman asked him for money so confidently and unconcealedly.
In the past, the women around him always had other intentions in their eyes, either because of vanity or because they coveted his power and status, but when someone asked for money so directly, it really made him feel very fresh.
"How much do you want?" Huo Yanshen asked softly, with a faint and curious smile on his face.
He secretly thought that this seemingly bold woman in front of him might ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
After all, anyone who could ask for money so fearlessly and directly in front of him must have a big appetite.
In the extravagant and money-filled world he was in, the amounts involved were often staggering astronomical figures, so he naturally thought that the amount she asked for would not be low.
Seeing him asking the question, Yang Mian blinked slyly, stretched out his right hand, pointed a finger, with a hint of mystery and expectation in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to Huo Yanshen's reaction.
Huo Yanshen was slightly startled, and countless numbers flashed through his mind in an instant. He subconsciously guessed: "Ten million?"
In his understanding, this number might be reasonable for anyone who has the courage to ask him for money.
After all, in the world he comes into contact with on a daily basis, spending tens of millions on a transaction or a social event is just a common occurrence.
"Give me a hundred yuan. I want to go eat. I'm starving." Yang Mian's voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, but these words were like a blockbuster bomb, which shocked Huo Yanshen greatly.
“One hundred yuan???” Huo Yanshen couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with his ears, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.
His eyes widened with shock, and he stared at Yang Mian as if he was looking at a creature from an alien planet. He wondered in his heart: Is this girl mentally confused?
He fully expected that she would ask for 10 million or even more, but he never expected that it would be just a mere 100 yuan.
In his eyes, one hundred yuan is too insignificant. In those high-end and luxurious places he often goes to, an ordinary glass of water costs much more than one hundred yuan. What can he do with this one hundred yuan? It's simply not worth mentioning.
"Yes, just give me a hundred yuan." Yang Mian repeated firmly again, his eyes clear and without any sign of joking or teasing.
In fact, Yang Mian's understanding of the value of money in this world is extremely limited.
Deep in her distant yet warm memory, when her grandparents gave her pocket money when she was a child, one hundred yuan was a considerable sum of money.
With this money, she can happily run to the street, buy a bowl of fragrant rice rolls, or have a simple but satisfying fast food meal, and happily choose many of her favorite snacks.
Moreover, just this afternoon, she had a meal in the school cafeteria and the amount she spent was only about one hundred yuan.
Based on these ordinary yet real life experiences, she naturally felt that asking Huo Yanshen for one hundred yuan was more than enough and could fully satisfy her current needs for food.
"Okay, one hundred yuan, right? I don't have any cash, can I scan the code?" Huo Yanshen shook his head helplessly, with a hint of laughter in his tone.
"Scan the code? Um, I didn't bring my cell phone with me." Yang Mian then remembered that he was in a hurry to go out at night and left his cell phone at home.
"What should we do then?" Huo Yanshen asked helplessly.
"Then I'll go order the food and you can pay for it." Yang Mian came up with this idea after a moment's thought.
"That's fine." Huo Yanshen raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that this girl was very interesting.
The two of them were discussing eating here in a leisurely manner, however, those people who were chasing Huo Yanshen just now were not so leisurely.
"Ah..." A painful scream broke the silent night sky.
Looking at those people who were chasing Huo Yanshen, they had already been seriously injured and could only roll on the ground in pain, their bodies twisted into strange shapes, their faces full of pain.
Yang Mian heard the sound and asked in confusion: "Did you hear any sound?"
Huo Yanshen pretended to be confused and said, "Really? I didn't hear it." No way, he knew very well in his heart that those people actually dared to plot against him. Since they had the courage, they had to bear the corresponding consequences.
However, it is better not to let this innocent girl know about these bloody and violent things, otherwise she will be scared.
Yang Mian said "Oh..." and didn't ask any more questions.
Huo Yanshen looked at Yang Mian and said, "Didn't you ask me to treat you to a meal? Let's go!"
"Okay, then I won't be polite." Yang Mian responded happily, without any restraint of meeting for the first time.
"You really dare to follow me! Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Huo Yanshen asked with interest, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Yang Mian tilted her head, looked at his face carefully, and said seriously: "Judging from your face, you are not a bad person." Although she could not see clearly the past and future of this person, from the perspective of physiognomy, although this person was not a very good person, he was not an unforgivable villain either.
But it doesn’t matter. Although this man has killed people, he is not the kind of brutal person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.
As for why he had a life on his hands, Yang Mian couldn't figure it out.
Logically speaking, there is no one in this world whose past and future she cannot see.
Unless this person is more powerful than her. Thinking of this, Yang Mian couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is the identity of this person? This really needs to be explored.
Huo Yanshen couldn't help but laugh. "Reading faces? You can also read faces!?" I was thinking, where did this weird little charlatan come from?
"Well, you don't believe it?" Yang Mian's eyes were sparkling, as if hiding the stars in the sky, and he looked at Huo Yanshen with full expectation.
Huo Yanshen answered "Believe" for some unknown reason. There seemed to be an indescribable, mysterious and powerful feeling that made him involuntarily choose to believe what the girl in front of him said.
