Chapter 1124: This Money Has to Be Earned!
At the Shao family's residence.
Shao Shanshan had just returned home when Shao Kang called out to her. "Stop right there!"
He looked at her with furrowed brows and asked, "Did your boyfriend make you suffer again?"
Hearing this, Shao Shanshan lowered her head and said nothing.
Shao Kang, seeing this, furrowed his brows even deeper. He was extremely angry and threw the magazine in his hand onto the table. "Look at your attitude! Break up with him! Do it tomorrow! Also, I've already asked someone to stop the medication at the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Shao Shanshan panicked. "Dad, how could you do that?"
"What do you mean, 'how could I do that?'" Shao Kang, his face dark, said in anger. "That's our money! Giving it to him is a favor, not giving it is my right!"
"He's spending my money and still treats my daughter like this? Who gave him the guts!"
As he spoke, Shao Kang's anger escalated, and he began coughing uncontrollably.
Shao Shanshan, seeing this, was startled and quickly ran to his side, helping him pat his back. "Dad, don't be mad, take it slow."
After coughing for a while, Shao Kang finally calmed down a bit.
He looked at his daughter, his voice softening as he spoke earnestly. "Shanshan, you're my precious daughter. I would never harm you. I don't look down on that guy because he's poor. It's because he treats you badly."
"Since you were a child, we've given you everything. Who's ever given you a bad look? You even contacted doctors and stayed in the hospital to look after his mother, and he hasn't even given you a smile. My daughter, why should you suffer like that?"
Shao Kang began coughing again, his face filled with sorrow. His gaze was full of concern as he looked at her.
Shao Shanshan's heart tightened when she saw this.
Today, he was the third person who had advised her to break up with him.
There was also that brother and sister duo.
Thinking of Zhouzhou and Qin Er, Shao Shanshan's expression turned a bit odd.
Shao Kang noticed that she didn't argue with him and was a bit surprised. He secretly lifted his eyelids to give her another glance. Hmm, she looked quite calm.
Usually, when he mentioned He Ping's flaws, they'd have an argument, but today, she was so obedient.
He cautiously continued, "Also, I was planning to visit He Ping's mom today. But when I arrived, I found a girl in her hospital room. I overheard a conversation outside."
"It seemed that He Ping's mom really likes the girl. If I'm not wrong, they are neighbors. I even heard them talking about marriage."
Upon hearing this, Shao Shanshan's face turned pale. She jumped up suddenly and hurried to her room.
Shao Kang looked at her back, his eyebrows raised.
She's not arguing with him?
In the past, she would've exploded by now.
What's wrong with her today?
Narrowing his eyes, Shao Kang made a phone call. "Find out what my daughter did today and who she met."
The next day, when Zhouzhou went to set up her stall, she noticed someone was watching her.
Pretending to be casual, she glanced in one direction and saw a tall, muscular man standing there with sunglasses on.
He looked fierce, his muscles bulging, but the aura he gave off was righteous. He didn't seem like a bad guy.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou didn't think too much about it. She didn't bother to care and quickly set up her stall. Turning to Qin Er, she cheerfully said, "Brother Dafu, we can earn big money again!"
Qin Er was also happy, especially when he and Caicai set up the stall together. Business was booming.
For example, yesterday, that rich girl had given them so much money. They each took half, and Qin Er earned fifty million, which was equivalent to years of earning from setting up stalls.
Thinking of Shao Shanshan, Qin Er couldn't help but say, "I wonder if that girl listened to you and broke up with that freeloading boyfriend."
Zhouzhou shook her head. "I don't know. Sigh, I really envy him."
Who wouldn't?
Qin Dafu was also filled with jealousy.
Why didn't he have such good luck? He also wanted to enjoy the benefits of being a kept man!
Zhouzhou's eyes suddenly glinted as she looked at Qin Dafu. She quickly took out a talisman and handed it to him. "Here, Brother Dafu, a Lucky Talisman."
Qin Er didn't think much about it and took it, pressing it against his chest.
Zhouzhou's eyes were squinted with a mischievous smile.
Qin Er looked up and saw Zhouzhou staring at him with a sly grin. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhouzhou shook her head. "Nothing."
Nothing? Then why was she smiling so suspiciously?
Zhouzhou looked at him innocently.
What could she be up to? She was a good person, how could she possibly do anything bad? She just wanted to eat a big meal at the wedding banquet!
Confused about what she was thinking, Qin Er decided to stop questioning her. At least he knew that Caicai wouldn't sell him out.
Well, he was wrong. As long as the money was enough, Zhouzhou would sell out anything, and he couldn't escape it.
If he knew, he wouldn't need Zhouzhou to say anything. He'd probably sell himself out too!
As long as it didn't harm him, it would be fine.
While setting up the stall, Zhouzhou also drew talismans. She still owed her master ten thousand talismans.
Thinking of that huge number made her hands feel weak.
Once she finished those ten thousand talismans, her hands would probably be useless.
Her life was so hard. How did she end up with such a heartless master?
At this moment, the bodyguard was watching the siblings, looking speechless.
He waited until they began packing up to leave, then quietly slipped away and made a phone call.
"Sir, I've been observing the people Miss met last night. There's nothing unusual about them. Just a bit mentally off."
"The younger sister is a fortune-teller. She set up a stall selling talismans."
"The older brother sells everything, even does some handiwork. Sometimes he pulls out a laptop and seems to be working on something."
Shao Kang listened and asked, "What do they look like?"
"Good-looking," the bodyguard replied without hesitation. "Very good-looking."
No wonder.
His daughter was a sucker for looks.
It made sense now.
They said those things yesterday, and Shao Shanshan didn't even get angry.
Shao Kang looked at the documents in his hand, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. His gaze then landed on Qin Er. This kid... He looks quite familiar.
When Zhouzhou left, she glanced over at the bodyguard's direction. Seeing that the person had already left, she didn't think much of it.
She put her bag over her shoulder and told Qin Er, "Brother Dafu, I'm not going home today. I'm going back to the mountain. See you tomorrow!"
"Okay." Qin Er nodded, also slinging his bag over his shoulder as he headed toward the subway.
The subway was cheaper and didn't have traffic. It was his favorite mode of transportation after all these years.
Just as he was about to enter, he felt a heat in his chest and heard a familiar female voice from behind, "He Ping! How could you say that to me!"
Oh, it's that rich girl and her freeloading boyfriend.
Qin Er wasn't interested in getting involved. He was about to keep walking when he felt the heat in his chest grow stronger.
He gasped and pulled out a talisman.
It was the Lucky talisman Zhouzhou had just given him. It was heating up.
What was going on? Was this a sign for him to mind his own business?
Yes!
Suddenly, it dawned on him. They seemed to be arguing loudly. If the rich girl needed someone to help, maybe it was time for him to step in.
She'd been the most generous with her money.
This money had to be earned!
What do you think?
