Shi Nian walked quickly to the door and blocked the people outside. "Liu Chunyan, what are you doing here?"
"Xiao Zhang just called me and said he was willing to put aside the past and continue living with your sister, but the prerequisite was that I gave him 50,000 yuan in mental damages..."
Shi Nian interrupted, "Which Xiao Zhang? Zhang Jiahao?"
"Who else could it be except him? I've already given the money. I know your sister has no money. You pay it back for her!"
Shi Nian asked, "Where is Zhang Jiahao?"
"How would I know where he is? Don't change the subject, transfer the money to me immediately!"
Liu Chunyan complained in a dissatisfied tone, "Do you think I'm willing to pay? I'm doing this for your sister! A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. She's divorced and has a little burden. Who will want her in the future? Xiao Zhang is a good person, but his mother is like a shrew. Because of their divorce, she comes to harass me every now and then, trying to get the previous betrothal money back. Ha, ugh! No way!"
She took out her phone and called up the payment code, "Are you paying me by Alipay or WeChat?"
Shi Nian grabbed her arm and said, "Call Zhang Jiahao right now and ask him where he is!"
Liu Chunyan's arm sank, her fingers slipped, and she almost dropped her phone to the ground.
She said angrily, "I'm giving you money, why do you keep calling him Zhang Jiahao? Are you having trouble making ends meet and have fallen for your sister's husband?"
Shi Nian was angry, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Then why do you have to ask where Xiao Zhang is doing?"
"Don't worry about it. Just call and ask first. If you find out, I'll return the money to you."
Liu Chunyan looked at her suspiciously, "Don't lie to me."
Shi Nian urged, "Hurry up!"
Liu Chunyan dialed the phone and Shi Nian looked at her nervously.
She added, "Turn on the speaker and don't tell Zhang Jiahao that I'm the one looking for him."
The prompt tone sounded twice and the call was connected.
"Hello?"
Shi Nian's heart was in suspense. He turned on the recording on his phone and silently urged Liu Chunyan to ask quickly.
Liu Chunyan rolled her eyes, "Xiao Zhang, where are you?"
"I'm home, what's wrong?"
lie.
He didn't even have time to hide, how could he be at home?
The background noise of the phone was noisy. Shi Nian could vaguely hear the sound of an electronic broadcast. She listened carefully to the content of the broadcast and it seemed like she was at a train station.
She mouthed and gestured, indicating that she should continue asking questions.
Liu Chunyan was hesitant and couldn't come up with a sentence. She immediately became impatient and handed the phone to Shi Nian, "Ask yourself!"
Almost at the same moment, Zhang Jiahao hung up the phone.
Shi Nian called back, but could only hear an electronic prompt tone, "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."
Liu Chunyan held onto the phone and clamped onto Shi Nian's wrist, "Give me back the fifty thousand yuan!"
Shi Nian shook her hand off. "What I just said is that I will return the money to you only if you ask. Zhang Jiahao didn't even tell me where he is. I don't have any money to give you. Go ask him for it!"
She glared at Liu Chunyan and said, "My sister is getting a divorce. For the sake of our relationship as mother and daughter, I'm kindly reminding you that you've been deceived by him! Instead of looking for me here, why don't you find a way to find him and get the money back before he goes to jail!"
"What police station are you in? What crime did Xiao Zhang commit? Explain yourself clearly!"
Liu Chunyan was about to take action when she spoke. Shi Nian was anxious to contact Feng Sihan, so she turned around and went into the store. She said to Fang Ning who was walking towards her, "Senior, I have something urgent to do. My mother is coming over again. Can you help me get rid of her?"
"OK."
Shi Nian dodged and hid in a small cubicle, dialing Feng Sihan's number.
The call was connected, and Feng Sihan's deep voice reached his ears, "Nian Nian, what's wrong?"
Shi Nian quickly recounted the whole story of Liu Chunyan coming to see her. While tapping on the screen, she said to him, "I'll send you the recording of the call now. Turn up the volume to the maximum. You should be able to hear the background sound from Zhang Jiahao's end. It sounds like we're at the station. Listen again."
"Okay, I'll ask a technician to analyze it later."
Shi Nian was worried about the situation outside and said hurriedly, "I won't talk to you for now, my mother is still outside."
She hung up the phone, hurriedly opened the door, and walked out, only to find that Fang Ning was the only one in the store.
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to the door and looked out. Liu Chunyan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of her.
Shi Nian was puzzled, "Senior, where is my mother?"
Fang Ning said calmly, "I chased him away."
Shi Nian's eyes widened in an instant, "She was willing to leave? How did you do it?"
She realized something and asked anxiously, "Did she ask you for money?"
"Yes, she said you owed her fifty thousand dollars."
Shi Nian had a bad feeling in his heart, "Senior...you, you won't give her the money, right?"
"Well, your mom said she took the money and left, so I added her contact information and transferred the money to her."
There was a buzzing in Shi Nian's ears and he felt dizzy.
That's 50,000 yuan! She just said one less sentence...
No wonder Liu Chunyan left so happily...
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Fang Ning quickly asked, "Nian Nian, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Nian endured the heartache and said, "I'm fine."
She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Senior, I don't have that much cash on hand, maybe I can't pay you back until tonight or tomorrow."
Fang Ning smiled, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can pay me back whenever you have money."
"OK."
Shi Nian turned her grief and anger into strength. While washing the dog, her mind was full of thoughts: once Zhang Jiahao was caught, she would find a way to get the 50,000 yuan back.
The store was busy in the afternoon, and Shi Nian became busy, temporarily putting aside her grief.
Time passed quickly and it was time to get off work.
While waiting for Feng Sihan to come over to play, she cleaned the place with Fang Ning and then went out with the garbage bag to take out the trash.
Fang Ning collected the waste paper boxes left over from the outer packaging of the new goods and walked out of the store right after Shi Nian.
Shi Nian noticed what he was holding, "Senior, these can be sold as scrap. Take them back and put them in the warehouse. When you have enough, I will help you sell them."
Fang Ning quickened his pace, walked to her side, and opened the lid of the trash can before her. "I've already brought it. Let's wait for next time."
Shi Nian threw the garbage into the trash can, clapped her hands and turned around. Suddenly, a car rushed in front of her without slowing down at all and hit her.
In two seconds, the car had sped in front of her.
When Shi Nian saw Zhang Jiahao sitting in the driver's seat with a ferocious expression, her pupils suddenly dilated.
She was so frightened that sweat broke out on her back and she subconsciously wanted to run, but her body stood stiffly in place.
Everything happened in an instant.
Zhang Jiahao yelled hysterically, "Even if I die, I will make you pay with your lives! I will kill you first, and then strangle Shi Wei to death!"
There was a strong force behind him, and Shi Nian was pushed forward by Fang Ning. He staggered two steps and fell heavily to the ground.
Behind my ears, there was the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the concrete ground and Fang Ning yelling, "Nian Nian! Get out of the way!"
