Zhuang Jiulang was not affected by Xiao Cunyu's acting at all, and he held the jade firmly in his own hand.
"It's so hard to deal with..." Xiao Cunyu muttered, then sighed, "Ah, young people in this world are becoming increasingly difficult to deceive... I don't know if I can keep my job... I'm losing money on this business!"
As he spoke, he wiped away a tear.
The corners of Zhuang Jiulang's mouth twitched twice.
He is very good at pretending, talking nonsense, and making a lot of noise, but he doesn't make people feel annoyed.
As Xiao Cunyu spoke, she fumbled for the banknote. The banknote was sewn into her clothes. She pulled it hard twice and heard a "ripping" sound before she took it out.
She looked reluctant and distressed, as if what she was giving away was not a banknote, but her own child.
Zhou Jingmao couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Swish——" She even sniffed.
"Making money... is really not easy... Back then, I was living under someone else's roof, humiliated, trampled upon, and tortured by a wicked young man. I lost several pounds, and only then did I earn this little bit of money to support myself... Now, now..."
Xiao Cunyu's hands were shaking.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, and thinking about her usual money-loving nature, Zhou Jingmao couldn't bear to watch her any longer: "Isn't it just a thousand taels? This young master will pay for you!"
Xiao Cunyu immediately took back the silver and put it back in his arms: "Thank you, good brother! Please!"
“…” She was so fast that Zhou Jingmao didn’t have time to react.
At this moment, she was looking at him with an innocent look on her face, her eyes so pure and innocent that it made people feel a little guilty.
Feeling embarrassed by being stared at by him, Zhou Jingmao paid the money.
Xiao Cunyu grinned: "You are indeed good brothers!"
"Have you ever been humiliated by a young evildoer? I wonder which young master dares to ride on the neck of the young master of the Xiao family and act so arrogantly?" Zhuang Jiulang asked with a smile after handing over the jade pendant.
"Really? Did I say that just now? Maybe I remembered it wrong! It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning!" With that, Xiao Cunyu laughed and went to do his business.
Zhou Jingmao realized it later.
Seems to have thought of something.
She pointed at herself, then at Xiao Cunyu, and then became furious: "The evil young man she was talking about is me?!"
"If it's not you, then could it be me?" Zhuang Jiulang laughed. The forest wind floated and blew on the tips of his hair, revealing a sense of otherworldliness that was inconsistent with his appearance.
Zhou Jingmao was so angry that he jumped up and down.
He wanted to settle the score with Xiao Cunyu, but Xiao Cunyu became serious again. She held the jade in her hand, and gestured something with her fingers in the air. She muttered to herself, and he couldn't hear what she was saying. He could only feel that the wind around them seemed to be a little stronger.
This kind of weird scene was not the first time Zhou Jingmao had seen it.
Fortunately, Xiao Cunyu stopped after just a moment.
Zhou Jingmao didn’t know what had changed around him, but he felt that it was different from before.
It seemed that the mood was much more relaxed, and there was no tense or uncomfortable atmosphere. The air was fresher, and the breeze was still blowing, but the sound of it hitting the leaves was not impatient, but light.
"Has it been eliminated?" Zhou Jingmao asked.
Zhuang Jiulang looked deeply at the jade pendant that Xiao Cunyu had put in his arms.
He always felt... it wasn't that simple.
As soon as Xu Bin was taken away by Xiao Cunyu, the two old men over there took a deep breath and woke up from their fainting. Their bodies were soaked in sweat, as if they had experienced a horrible nightmare.
Kong Li was a little worried, "Sir, is Xu Bin... okay?"
Kong Li didn't hear a word of what Xiao Cunyu said to Xu Bin later.
In his opinion, Xiao Cunyu took Xu Bin in, and it was possible that he wanted to get rid of him...
