Chapter 471 How can you support a young, handsome man if you have no money?
The time that follows.
While waiting for the orphanage director to wake up, Pei Jinwu investigated the whereabouts of the other people in the orphanage.
Perhaps the dean didn't want anyone to disturb the lives of the "survivors."
He destroyed all the useful information.
Very thorough.
It was difficult to find the Tianji Group and the Hacker Alliance.
Only one result was found.
The fire that year did kill many people, most of whom were orphans.
However, one of the orphans escaped.
Strangely enough.
She still cannot find out the other party's identity or whereabouts.
"Miss Pei, the weather is nice today. Shall I accompany you for a walk?"
Wang Ma saw her sitting in the living room in a daze every day, not even playing her favorite games.
I'm really worried that she'll get sick from holding it all in because of the "Sixth Miss" incident.
It's quite pitiful, really.
Of her seven siblings, why was she the only one who got into trouble?
And Miss Pei...
I don't cry or make a fuss, but it's so hard to keep it all bottled up inside.
"Not interested."
Pei Jinwu lay on the sofa with a laptop in her lap, displaying information about the orphanage.
Because the orphanage was built with its own funds, and management was not strict in previous years, a lot of data was not synchronized.
Without the available information, it would be difficult for her to find out what happened next.
"I heard there's a really delicious dessert shop that opened in the north of the city. Let me go with you to check it out."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ma used her trump card.
"Aunt Wang, I'm fine."
Pei Jinwu slightly lifted her eyelids, looked at Wang Ma with a quiet gaze, and said slowly, "I've experienced everything since I was a child. Nothing can defeat me."
"Besides, I don't believe that my sixth sister is that unlucky."
A strong premonition told her that her sixth sister would not die.
"I'm glad you're alright."
Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly and comforted him affectionately, "Tell me what you want to eat, and Aunt Wang will make it for you."
Miss Pei is always happy when she's full.
"good."
Pei Jinwu curled her lips into a smile as she watched Wang Ma leave.
The next second.
The smile vanished from her eyes, her gaze dimmed, and her whole face showed signs of dejection.
no.
She needs to go to the hospital again to check on the director's recovery.
——
Under her and the hospital's meticulous care.
The dean recovered quickly and looked much better than before.
He should be able to wake up soon.
Leaving the hospital.
Pei Jinwu didn't want to go back and face Wang Ma's "concerned" gaze for the time being, so she wandered around the streets alone.
While they were swaying back and forth.
A woman's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Mrs. Shang."
"?"
Pei Jinwu subconsciously turned around and saw Qu Qingli, wearing a coat, heavy makeup, and with big wavy hair, staring at her with a bright smile.
She wore a black coat today, and the freezing weather didn't stop her from wearing high heels.
Every gesture she makes exudes nobility and elegance; she truly deserves to be called a renowned beauty of Xuanzhou.
"Long time no see." Qu Qingli raised an eyebrow, her red lips curving slightly. "I didn't expect to run into you. What a coincidence."
"Is it a coincidence?"
Pei Jinwu narrowed her eyes and said casually, "You've been following me for twenty minutes, haven't you?"
"..."
Qu Qingli's smile froze slightly, but she quickly recovered and readily admitted, "Why are you so smart, little girl?"
"What's up?"
Pei Jinwu, hands in his pockets, asked expressionlessly.
"have."
Qu Qingli nodded slightly, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "I've come to discuss cooperation with the Shang family to expand my business empire."
"I originally wanted to go directly to Master Shang, but I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I had no choice but to come to you in person."
Qu Qingli waved the cake in her hand, deliberately tempting, "Shall we find a place to sit and chat while we eat?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu wanted to refuse, but when she met Qu Qingli's sincere eyes and the cake in her hand, she hesitated.
The box looked familiar; it was the same place I ate at in Xuanzhou last time.
It tastes good.
She'd been craving this for a long time since she came back.
The words of refusal, which were on the tip of his tongue, suddenly changed to, "Okay."
—
cafes.
That's about it.
After Qu Qingli finished speaking, she took out a complete report and placed it in front of Pei Jinwu.
“Miss Pei, please pass this on to Mr. Shang.” Qu Qingli stared at her, her attitude very sincere: “This cooperation is really important to me.”
"..."
Pei Jinwu looked up from the cake, her eyes sweeping over the swollen back of her hand, her pupils contracting slightly.
So badly injured?
"..."
She took the report, glanced at it casually, and it had absolutely nothing to do with casinos.
"Miss Qu is from Xuanzhou, and the casinos on the West Coast are doing quite well. Why bother coming to Beizhou?"
The North Continent is the financial center of all continents, and its dominant position has long been established.
Now you want to get a share of the pie? Isn't that just wishful thinking?
Qu Qingli is not a stupid woman; she can distinguish between what is important and what is not.
“It’s not all about making money.” Qu Qingli nodded, her red lips twitching as she said, “I used to be from Beizhou, as were my parents and siblings.”
"But then an accident happened, and they all passed away, which is why I went to Xuanzhou."
“I started my business in the North Continent simply so that I would have something to look forward to when I could go back.”
"I don't have a home, so I want to build one myself."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinwu's fingers trembled slightly, and he looked at her with a deep gaze.
Although Qu Qingli was wearing heavy makeup, she couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes.
She was serious.
If I remember correctly, I heard that Qu Qingli is an orphan.
I never expected this in the world.
There are others who share her tragic fate.
"OK."
Deeply moved, Pei Jinwu put the documents into her bag and said calmly, "I can't accept something for nothing. If I eat your cake, I'll get things done for you."
"Thank you, Mrs. Shang."
Qu Qingli's smile widened, and she thanked her softly, "If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. Just—"
He paused for a moment, then added, "Could you please stop going to my casino? They really can't beat you."
"Tsk."
Pei Jinwu blinked and said casually, "If you run a casino, why would you be afraid of others playing?"
"Yeah."
Qu Qingli inexplicably liked this girl, and her attitude towards her was completely different from usual. She teased, "If I don't have money, how can I support a young and handsome man?"
"My husband is the best male escort in Xuanzhou, and it costs a lot of money to support him."
"???"
I didn't expect her to be so straightforward; she almost stumped Pei Jinwu.
My mood has improved a lot because of her.
strangeness.
Surprisingly, she didn't dislike the girl who called Shang Shiyan an "old man."
"I'll be coming to Beijing soon to handle some business. If you're bored, you can ask me out for coffee."
Qu Qingli tightened her shawl and made a gesture as if she were making a phone call.
"..."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips. They weren't close enough to go out for coffee yet, were they?
"It's settled then."
Before Pei Jinwu could agree, Qu Qingli made the decision for her: "I'll bring you another cake next time, a different flavor. It's especially delicious."
“Okay.” Pei Jinwu nodded.
"Alright, I have to go now." Qu Qingli stood up.
When preparing to leave.
Pei Jinwu's voice suddenly rang out: "Miss Qu, do you know about the orphanage fire five years ago?"
"..."
Qu Qingli stopped in her tracks.
——
good evening.
The pace will quicken later on, allowing the two sisters to recognize each other sooner.
The parents' storyline is also very important.
