Chapter 308 Where did this money come from?
Shen Xuewen pressed the money against her arm and urged her:
"Don't just say thank you, take it. There are so many people here, what if you get robbed later?"
Shen Xuewei burst out laughing.
Seeing the annoyance on Shen Xuewen's face, she composed herself and regretfully touched her pocket, saying:
"Brother, you can keep it for now. My pocket is shallow, I'm afraid it will fall out."
"Then I'll keep it for you first, and you can take it to the dormitory when you pass by later."
"Let's talk, let's talk. We haven't even finished exploring the school yet. I'll take you somewhere else. It's almost noon, so we'll go to the cafeteria for lunch. Let me tell you, the food at our school cafeteria is delicious. After lunch, I'll take you to Happy Valley..."
Shen Xuewen wanted to say something, but he was confused by her series of arrangements and followed her in a daze.
The two spent a long time in Shanghai before finally finding a hotel to stay in around 9 p.m.
During the National Day holiday, it is difficult to book hotels in Shanghai, with only a few four-star and five-star hotels having relatively sufficient rooms.
Shen Xuewen followed Shen Xuewei into a five-star hotel. Looking at the magnificent interior, he felt a sense of dread again.
"Weiwei, this hotel seems very expensive. Maybe we shouldn't stay here."
It felt like the money on him no longer belonged to him from the moment he walked in.
Shen Xuewei pulled him inside, saying, "What's so expensive about it? It's a rare opportunity to stay here, so what's wrong with staying a little nicer?"
When she asked at the front desk if there were any rooms available, she didn't ask about the price and booked two rooms directly with the front desk.
When the receptionist saw her take out her card to swipe it and was about to announce the price for two rooms, Shen Xuewei put her index finger to her lips and shushed her. The receptionist then understood what she meant.
He showed her the amount to be swiped on the display, and after Shen Xuewei nodded, he inserted the card and asked Shen Xuewei to enter the PIN.
After paying, the receptionist handed the room key to Shen Xuewei.
Shen Xuewei handed Shen Xuewen his ID card and room key.
"Well, it's all set up. Get a good night's sleep tonight, and I'll take you to the train station after lunch tomorrow."
Shen Xuewen's factory has a tight production schedule, so even during the National Day holiday, they only get three days off, and tomorrow is the last day of the holiday.
She had everything arranged perfectly. Shen Xuewen scratched his head, then finally let out a "Hmm" to indicate that he understood.
The two rested at the hotel for one night. The next day, Shen Xuewei took Shen Xuewen to a nearby restaurant for lunch and then sent him to the train station.
Standing outside the ticket gate, Shen Xuewen looked at Shen Xuewei with a hesitant expression.
Shen Xuewei glanced at him and said, "Brother, just say what you have to say. I'm not going to eat you."
Shen Xuewen knew she wouldn't eat people, but he was afraid she would get angry.
Despite his fear, he hesitated before finally uttering the words he had been preparing.
"Sis, actually... actually, Mom has missed you a lot these past few years. I saw her staring blankly at the photos Grandpa and the others sent. When I came to see you this time, she even asked me to ask you how you've been all these years..."
The last word, "good," was swallowed back in fright when he saw that Shen Xuewei was like an iceberg, radiating a chilling aura.
Shen Xuewei's once clear almond-shaped eyes were now devoid of any smile, utterly cold.
Since returning to Italy from Giant Locust Village, no one has mentioned her parents to her for a long time.
Upon hearing their names, the first feeling that welled up in Shen Xuewei's heart was disgust.
She tried her best to suppress her negative emotions.
Even so, she was no longer the gentle person she had been just a few minutes earlier.
"Brother, don't mention them to me anymore. I don't want to hear any news about them other than about you."
"You don't need to tell them about my situation, because I don't need them to know, and I don't want them to know."
"Brother, do you understand what I mean?"
Her expression was too serious, and Shen Xuewen subconsciously nodded, stammering:
"I understand. I will never talk to you about them again, nor will I mention you to them."
Shen Xuewei smiled again, "That's good."
"Brother, hurry up and get through the station. Put your bag in front of you, or someone will steal your things."
Shen Xuewen wanted to say that he only had a set of clothes and a few snacks he had bought earlier in his bag, and no one would steal his things.
However, when he met Shen Xuewei's gaze, he obediently put his bag in front of him.
"Well, I'll be going now. I'll come to Shanghai to see you again when I have time."
Shen Xuewei stood there, waving goodbye as he left.
After Shen Xuewen passed through the ticket gate and walked towards the waiting train, Shen Xuewei took a taxi back to school.
While sitting on the train, Shen Xuewen was rummaging through his bag to take out the snacks he wanted to eat, but he was dumbfounded.
Where did he get those 20,000 yuan in his bag?
Shen Xuewei received a message from Shen Xuewen and was already sitting at her desk, ready to start writing.
She glanced at the message and typed a few lines.
Become a rich woman soon: Keep what I give you, save it well, and don't tell your parents, or I'll cut ties with you.
Become a rich woman soon: Bro, I can earn money by doing part-time jobs, much more than you do, so I don't need you to give me money.
Become a rich woman soon: Save the money you save to get married in the future.
Shen Xuewen typed and deleted, typed and deleted again, but in the end, he didn't send the last sentence.
He stared blankly at the scenery flashing by on the roadside, thinking that his sister was indeed still his sister, but without realizing it, she had become his older sister...
Besides Shen Xuewen, Shen Xuewei also had appointments with two other old friends during the National Day holiday.
On the last day of her holiday, she dressed up specially and took a taxi to a Western restaurant called Twilight Dining.
When she arrived at the restaurant entrance, a waiter came up to ask her how many people were in her party.
Shen Xuewei glanced around the restaurant. "I have a friend who has already made a reservation at table number 13."
"Okay, please come with me."
The waiter led her inside, saying, "Miss, the table over there is table number 13."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After the waiter left, Shen Xuewei slowly stood next to table number 13.
The two women at table number 13 smiled when they saw Shen Xuewei arrive, and one of them even stood up to welcome her to her seat.
"You must be Vivi?"
"After knowing you for so many years, I'm finally seeing you in person. It's so good to be young, youth is invincible. Unlike me, I'm getting old..."
The woman who spoke had deep and alluring features. After seeing Shen Xuewei sit down, she sat opposite her and winked at her.
Shen Xuewei smiled and said, "How can I compare to you, Sister Xuemei? You look much better than in your QQ space photos. Don't say you look old. When you go out, people might think you're my sister."
A bespectacled, elegant and quiet woman standing nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shen Xuewei glanced at her sideways and teased, "Sister Yunli, you can be my sister too."
Yun Li chuckled, rubbing her forehead. Weiwei's mouth was just as sharp as Xue Mei's.
Feng Xuemei rolled her eyes at her, "Go away, stop taking advantage of us. You're just a kid, so young, yet you're so talkative..."
Shen Xuewei chuckled and said, "Not at all, I'm just telling the truth."
