Qiao Qingqing was walking on the path back to the dormitory. There were only a few rooms with lights, and it was dark everywhere. She didn't turn on the flashlight, but she walked steadily. Suddenly, she saw a figure on the dormitory building. Before she could take a closer look, the figure spoke.
"Qiao Qingqing."
Qiao Qingqing stopped and asked, "Lin Weini?"
Lin Weini forced an awkward smile in the darkness: "Have you finished eating? Come up first, I want to talk to you about something."
"Come down and talk somewhere else." Qiao Qingqing turned and left.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Seeing that Qiao Qingqing's figure was about to disappear in the darkness, Lin Weini didn't care about anything else and hurried downstairs to catch up.
When they reached a secluded place, Qiao Qingqing stopped. Lin Weini chased after her with a flashlight, and when she saw her standing there looking at her, she subconsciously touched her hair and adjusted her skirt.
"What do you want from me?"
Lin Weini pursed her lips, her expression was complicated: "Didn't your husband tell you about seeing me?"
"Yes."
"So he didn't tell you I needed help?"
Qiao Qingqing remained calm: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Weini judged her expression: "I was in trouble and needed help. I thought your husband would lend a hand for your sake, but your husband rejected me coldly. He didn't care about your face at all. How did you find such a husband? Does he really love you?"
Qiao Qingqing couldn't help laughing as if she heard a very funny joke.
In fact, there was no sarcasm or other emotions in her smile. It was just an expression when she heard a joke. However, Lin Weini's face changed slightly and she felt insulted.
"What are you laughing at—"
Qiao Qingqing looked at her and smiled: "I am laughing at what you said. Think about it yourself. Don't you think it's funny? Why should my husband agree to you for my sake? What is your relationship with me?"
Lin Weini's eyes showed some embarrassment, as if it was difficult for her to directly admit their sisterly relationship, but she still tried to say it: "I am your sister. I know you don't like Dad, but the blood relationship between us is undeniable. I am your sister. After you heard your husband say that he met me, I was in such a bad situation at that time. It was obvious that I encountered difficulties. Don't you care about what difficulties I encountered? Don't you worry about whether I am safe? Are you really indifferent?"
Shaking her head, Qiao Qingqing stopped laughing and her expression returned to normal.
"You are a stranger to me. No, you are the destroyer of my peaceful state of mind during my teenage years. Even if you die in front of me, I won't even blink an eye."
Lin Weini's face changed slightly. She obviously still remembered the good things she and her brother did at that time. She didn't expect that Qiao Qingqing really hated her for such a prank. This was also what she had expected before she came. She looked guilty: "I, I know you are holding a grudge. I was young and ignorant at that time. I didn't mean it. My mother scolded me. I realized my mistake a long time ago. Later, I didn't appear in front of you again... Sister, please forgive me. I really know I was wrong now. I have tasted retribution." As she spoke, tears fell like rain. Her eyelashes trembled under the light. Her eyes were soaked in tears and crystal clear. She looked weak and affectionate, and extremely moving.
"Are you really sorry?"
"Of course!" Lin Weini said hurriedly, "I was too young at the time, and a little... jealous that you were dad's first daughter. I always thought I was dad's first child. I have always regretted my youthful and frivolous behavior at the time..."
"Oh. You were young at that time. So you asked someone to remove my place in the crossbow team because of your young age?"
Lin Weini was stunned by the question. She blinked and let the tears fall: "W-what? Sister, I don't understand what you are saying."
"It seems that your apology is not sincere." Qiao Qingqing smiled faintly.
"Sister, I really don't know what you are talking about. What quota for the crossbow team? I have never been to the crossbow team..."
Listening to Lin Weini's performance was really a torture. Qiao Qingqing didn't want to hear her speak insincerely anymore, nor did she want to see her use her social skills on herself anymore. It was too disgusting.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Her tone was so cold, so cold that Lin Weini almost couldn't cry anymore. She lowered her head and wiped her tears.
"I... your husband met me that day. Actually, I ran away from home. Dad wanted to force me to marry someone I didn't like. That person is more than 30 years older than me and will be 60 this year! I didn't want to, I didn't want to. At that time, your husband didn't want me to go to your house. Later, dad found me and now the marriage has been settled..." Lin Weini lowered her head, then raised her head again. She apologized to Qiao Qingqing with tears in her eyes, "I was ignorant before. I'm sorry. My mother taught me a lesson. She said that what I did was not decent, not good-looking and uneducated. I already know I was wrong. We are sisters. We have half the same blood. Sister Qingqing, please help me! I don't want to marry that person!"
"We are not sisters. We just happen to have the same paternal blood. I sympathize with your situation, but as an outsider, I have no reason to interfere. If you really need help, you can report this problem to the Women's Aid Association. I heard that Lin Mingyong is also a government official, and the Aid Association will definitely not let this matter go. It's useless for you to come to me."
Lin Weini bit her lip.
Lin Weini, who received a socialite education since childhood, always presents an image of beauty, gentleness and generosity, which meets the standards of many wealthy families in choosing a daughter-in-law. Even when the world was doomed by natural disasters, Yu Manshu did not give up on cultivating her daughter.
But the strange thing is that when facing Qiao Qingqing, Lin Weini often can't control herself. She knows that she should show weakness and be more pitiful at this time. Since her mother passed away, she has long been accustomed to doing everything she can to make others pity her. But when facing this sister, meeting the calm eyes of the other party, she feels as if all her disguises have been taken off, and her thoughts are exposed in front of the other party.
I'm like a clown!
She bit her lip, unable to say the words to beg for mercy. She even felt that even if she begged with tears in her eyes, Qiao Qingqing would not frown, but would just look at her like a monkey show.
Did we really come to the wrong place today?
"You go back." Qiao Qingqing turned around.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Weini finally shouted to stop her. She walked in front of Qiao Qingqing and seemed to have made up her mind. "Since you said so, I won't bother you with our sisterly relationship anymore. I will cooperate with you. As long as you send me to the Chenling base, I will give you five kilograms of gold!"
Seeing that Lin Weini finally revealed her true intention, Qiao Qingqing stopped. In her previous life, she had heard that there was also a base in Chenling, and there were some material transactions between the two bases, but she didn't expect that Lin Weini actually wanted to escape to the Chenling base, which was a thousand kilometers away from the local area.
She immediately understood what Lin Weini was thinking.
Although the Chenling base is far away, many people are willing to take the risk if they can get five kilograms of gold.
You should know that a two-bedroom apartment in the new community only needs 500 grams of gold, and a three-bedroom apartment needs 1,000 grams. As for a house in the villa area, it is said that three kilograms of gold can buy a small villa, and five kilograms of gold can buy the most luxurious villa or the best-located shop in the market.
Of course, the new community has been established for almost four years, and there should be very few first-hand houses left from the Housing Authority, and the prices have long been raised.
But five kilograms of gold exchanged for food is also a huge number.
If Lin Weini can really come up with five kilograms of gold, then there will definitely be people willing to take the risk and go on a long journey. There are already many mercenary teams in the market, and they will go out to search for supplies or accept commissioned tasks.
However, Lin Weini probably doesn't trust outsiders and is afraid that her property will be robbed and she will be silenced after she goes out, so she thinks that her "sister" is more reliable?
That gold couldn't have come from Lin Mingyong, it must have been left to Lin Weini by Yu Manshu.
"Perhaps I should thank you for your recognition of my character, but I won't accept the mission."
Hearing what Qiao Qingqing said, Lin Weini became anxious: "That's five kilograms of gold! I won't lie to you. I can give you half as a deposit first. You can give the deposit to your family, and then you and your husband will escort me over. When I arrive at the Chenling base, I will give you the remaining half!"
It turns out that Sheng An was also included.
Qiao Qingqing shook her head: "The situation outside is very complicated. Even if I want to earn this commission, Sheng An and I can't handle it." She is very self-aware. It's true that she was reborn and has a space, but it's just one or two more advantages than others. She is not invincible. She can't drag Sheng An to accept such a risky task. Five kilograms of gold is exciting, but if the two of them die outside, what will happen to their families?
"You two are both from the crossbow team, how come you can't handle it?" Lin Weini said hurriedly, "How about I give in and agree that you can find two more helpers, but you have to ensure that the helpers are reliable and will not betray me, and I can also give you two more kilograms of gold--"
Qiao Qingqing stopped her from continuing and said, "I won't answer it. Go find someone else."
"If I could find someone else—" Why would I come to find Qiao Qingqing, my half-sister?
"I won't answer it. Go back and remember to hide your gold. Otherwise, maybe I will come to your house when I am free one day."
After these words came out, Lin Weini was completely stunned. Qiao Qingqing broke free from her hand, walked a few steps and stopped, tilted her head and said, "Actually, your method is very risky. My husband has already pointed out a way for you to solve the problem once and for all. Why don't you consider it?"
Lin Weini was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered the knife that she had casually thrown into the drawer, and her face turned pale instantly.
So, this is what Shao Shengan meant?
Lin Weini's first reaction was rejection.
How could she do such a thing!
"Qiao Qingqing, are you crazy?" she murmured, and then asked loudly, "Are you crazy? That's Dad!"
"If he dares to do this to me, I will drag him to hell." Qiao Qingqing smiled, half of her face in the light and the other half in the dark. Lin Weini looked at her face and actually felt a little scared.
She finally realized that coming here to find Qiao Qingqing was a wrong decision. Qiao Qingqing not only hated herself, but also hated her father. Her eyes were so cold, she was really capable of killing her father!
