Chapter 154 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 22
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xinran was awakened by the continuous sound of firecrackers outside the yard.
The sound was like rapid drumbeats, one after another, breaking the tranquility of the night and heralding the beginning of the new year.
Chen Xinran opened his sleepy eyes and looked out the window, only to see a thick fog, the night still not completely gone.
Zhou Yaoqi had already gotten up. He whispered to Shen Xinran, "It's still early. You can sleep a little longer."
Shen Xinran rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and stretched, "No need, I've slept enough."
She put on her clothes and walked out of the room, just in time to meet Tan Guiying coming out of the kitchen with some breakfast in her hand.
"Mom, Happy New Year." Shen Xinran greeted Tan Guiying with a smile, then turned around and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
Unexpectedly, Tan Guiying grabbed her hand and stuffed a thick red envelope into her hand.
"So many?" Shen Xinran widened his eyes in surprise.
Tan Guiying patted Shen Xinran's hand and smiled faintly: "I prepared it only for you, they don't have it."
Shen Xinran: “…”
Why does this sentence suddenly feel familiar? Isn’t this the same sentence she said yesterday when she was fooling her second sister’s eldest grandson?
Recalling Zhou Yaoqi's outrageous behavior last night, so... is this the mental damage compensation given to her by Tan Guiying?
Shen Xinran glanced at the thick stack of red envelopes in his hand and remained silent.
After washing up, Shen Xinran returned to the room and saw Zhou Yaoqi packing his luggage.
Shen Xinran rolled his eyes, put the red envelope into his arms, then leaned against the door frame and said with a smile: "Congratulations and make a fortune."
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the red envelope."
Zhou Yaoqi responded with a smile: "Didn't Mom already give you a red envelope?"
"How can what my mother gave me be the same as what you gave me!" Shen Xinran snorted coldly.
Seeing Zhou Yaoqi still packing up, she added, "Let me make it clear first, if your red envelope isn't ready, I'll be angry."
There was still a hint of complacency in Shen Xinran's tone, as if he was waiting for Zhou Yaoqi to be unprepared and take the opportunity to get angry.
Zhou Yaoqi smiled directly, "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to get angry."
After he finished speaking, he took out a red envelope from the box he brought and handed it to Shen Xinran.
Along with the red envelope, there was also a beautifully packaged box.
Shen Xinran raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Yaoqi raised the corner of his lips and said, "A red envelope is a red envelope, and a gift is a gift."
Shen Xinran opened the red envelope first and found that the amount inside was even more than what Tan Guiying gave her, almost as much as her annual salary.
Shen Xinran guessed that it should be nine hundred and ninety-nine.
This made her exclaim: "As expected of a coal boss, he is so generous."
Then she opened the box and saw gold rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gold pendants and gold earrings neatly arranged inside.
Have you gathered all the hardware in one go?
Shen Xinran suddenly felt like she didn't know what to say. Finally, she patted Zhou Yaoqi on the shoulder and said, "I heard that coal bosses and rich men are a better match. It seems that this is true."
Zhou Yaoqi asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Xinran waved his hand and said seriously: "You don't need to understand what it means, because you have already done it."
Zhou Yaoqi seemed to have figured it out. He chuckled and asked, "Do you like this gift?"
Shen Xinran pursed his lips and replied casually, "It's okay, I can only say I'll make do with it."
But after she finished speaking, she carefully put the jewelry box into her luggage.
I thought to myself: I have to keep this set of jewelry. When I can’t eat anymore, I can sell it. It will last me at least two months!
Zhou Yaoqi looked at this scene, and the gentle smile in his eyes became more intense.
…
The art troupe officially started work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. The moment Shen Xinran stepped into the troupe, he was completely dumbfounded.
Girls like to dress themselves up beautifully during the Chinese New Year, so most people take advantage of the Chinese New Year to get their hair done.
The hair colors were bolder and more flamboyant than each other, some were red, some were blue, and some were gray.
Shen Xinran even saw colorful ones on a girl's head, as gorgeous as a peacock spreading its tail.
After finally arriving at the dance troupe, I discovered that the girls in the troupe also looked like this.
One of the girls turned around, smiled confidently at Shen Xinran, and said, "Shi Qian, look at our new haircuts. Do they look good?"
Shen Xinran looked at the girl with green hair and couldn't help but hesitate whether to tell her the meaning of green hair.
The first day's work was relatively easy. After the girls finished cleaning, they could pack up and prepare to go home.
Before Shen Xinran reached the door of the art troupe, a man suddenly jumped out from the bushes next to her, grabbed her hand and dragged her into the corner.
Shen Xinran's eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively wanted to call for help.
But the man quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Shiqian, don't scream, it's me."
Shen Xinran turned around and saw that it was Wang Haitao.
After not seeing him for half a month, he looked much more haggard, with a pale face and a thin body. He didn't look like a young man in his early twenties at all.
Wang Haitao stared at Shen Xinran closely. "I have something urgent to talk to you about. If you don't scream, I'll let you go. If you agree, nod your head."
Shen Xinran also wanted to know why Wang Haitao wanted to see her, so she nodded.
Wang Haitao released the hand that was covering Shen Xinran's mouth and said with a stiff smile: "Shiqian, please lend me some money!"
Shen Xinran's eyes flashed, "But I don't have any money!"
Wang Haitao's eyes were anxious. "Where did your salary go?"
Shen Xinran counted the expenses on her fingers, "I need to buy flowers, skin care products, clothes, shoes and bags. One month's salary is not enough for me to spend."
Wang Haitao seemed a little disappointed. "Isn't your man very rich?"
Shen Xinran explained: "He does give me money every month, but I usually spend it all in two or three days."
Wang Haitao seemed even more anxious: "How could you possibly be without money? What should I do without money?"
Wang Haitao didn't know what he was thinking of. He suddenly grabbed Shen Xinran's shoulders and said with a hint of madness: "Can you help me ask your man for some money? I only need three thousand."
Three thousand isn't enough?
Shen Xinran chuckled, "But why should I help you?"
Wang Haitao was very emotional and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't help me, I will die."
Shen Xinran blinked her eyes and said innocently, "I'm just your ex-girlfriend, I'm not your mother, why should I care about your life or death?"
Wang Haitao looked frantic, "Are you really going to be so heartless?"
Shen Xinran smiled gently at Wang Haitao, and when he relaxed, she kicked him hard between his legs.
After letting out a scream, Wang Haitao covered his lower body and fell to the ground in pain.
Shen Xinran turned and ran away, shouting for help. "Help!"
A good ex should be like dead and never show up again. Not to mention that Wang Haitao is a scumbag. He is really sick in the head, actually thinking of borrowing money from her.
