Xia Han's hands rested on the steering wheel as she drove leisurely. Dr. Mu had advised her to rest for a few days upon returning home, and for Xia Han, "rest" simply meant not being too active.
Passing by a shopping mall, Xia Han steered her car into the underground parking lot. She hadn't been home in days, and returning with gifts was always a good idea.
"Brother Liu, it's this woman. I put my card in her pocket that day. I've been watching her for so long, and I've finally caught up, damn it!"
A man dressed like a wealthy young master, accompanied by a fawning demeanor, lowered his head to look at the man beside him. Thinking of something, greed flashed across his face.
"Brother Liu, you don't know, the card I stole that day was rumored to be very rare, and it must have a lot of money inside. With this score, we can feast for a long time."
Therefore, this little lady had to be handed over today, and if not, he wouldn't be held responsible for his actions.
"Mm, remember to be clean with your hands and feet. The boss is still waiting," the man said before walking away with a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Let's go, follow me to the west gate corner and wait. She'll definitely pass by there from the mall to the parking lot. Cooperate with me then, understand?"
This subordinate was always clever, which was why he brought him out.
"Brother Wen, your little brother understands, he understands." He hadn't followed his boss for just a day or two, so he naturally knew the rules.
...
"Holy crap, this plush toy is too cute! It's perfect for Tong Tong. If Tong Tong hugged this kawaii thing, she'd be a goddess among dolls, hahaha!"
"Wow, they've released new products! Lexuan will definitely like them. What kind does he like? Never mind, I'll buy them all."
As for the big treasure, the big treasure seemed to like studying. Hmm, this is a bit difficult. Got it! I'll look in Dad's study...
She had originally intended to buy a gift for her father. She looked at her hands. Er, maybe next time.
Thus, when Xia Han left the mall, she carried quite a few bags.
"Damn it, she uses the money I gave her to buy so many things. I wonder how much money is left in the card. If there's no money, we'll sell this woman. She should be worth quite a lot."
The subordinate looked at Brother Wen's heartbroken expression and felt a bit speechless. Brother Wen always spent all the money he stole without leaving a penny.
The little lady is almost here! The subordinate and Brother Wen found good positions, ready to strike.
Three meters!
Two meters!
One meter!
"Hmm~ Didn't I buy anything for myself yet? How can I not reward myself after being discharged from the hospital? Hmm, I'll buy a favorite dress, hehe."
She turned and ran back into the mall.
"This damned woman is spending money recklessly again!!!"
Brother Wen, is this what you should be paying attention to? But when will he be able to shop like this? It's so damn enviable.
Finally, while Brother Wen and his subordinate were waiting expectantly, Xia Han, wearing a light yellow dress, walked over with small steps. She was really a bit tired...
"Here she comes, here she comes, Brother Wen!"
"Saw her. Don't pat my arm. Go, guard my wealth." Brother Wen was unhappy and quickly turned back.
As soon as he returned to his position, he found that Brother Wen was no longer there. He looked around and only then realized that Brother Wen was dragging the woman over.
He quickly stepped forward to pick up the dropped bags from the ground, stuffed them into his embrace, and closely followed Brother Wen's footsteps.
"Mmmph mmmph mmmph~" Xia Han looked at the rough-browed, small-eyed man covering her mouth in terror. How could she be so unlucky? She had just been released and encountered such trouble again.
Reaching a secluded spot, Brother Wen let go and beckoned. The subordinate respectfully placed the gift bags he had neatly arranged into his hands.
Brother Wen quickly rummaged through them and nodded with satisfaction, "You're getting more and more sensible, kid." He had always said this kid was clever, and he was right.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Perhaps it was because of the previous incident, or perhaps it was because of the greedy appearance of the two men in front of her, but Xia Han's courage had grown considerably.
Hearing the woman's voice, Brother Wen finally remembered the main business and said fiercely, "Where's my card? Be sensible and hand it over quickly."
"What card? I don't have your card anywhere." This person is really strange. Why would his card be on her?
This damned woman really won't shed a tear until she sees the coffin. "Go, this little lady wants to swallow it herself. Search her, and take out everything valuable she has."
"Alright, Brother Wen." Saying this, he walked towards the woman opposite him with a smile, money, here he comes. If he pleases Brother Wen later, perhaps he'll get a share.
"Don't come over. If you want money, we can talk." If they only wanted money, then paying money to avoid disaster wouldn't be a problem. She could ask her dad for money later.
"Wait, wait, wait, you little lady are quite sensible. Why don't you consider handing the card over to me, and then follow my lead? I can be good to my subordinates."
The subordinate immediately stopped his movements and looked at Brother Wen with devout piety, waiting for Brother Wen's next instruction. The more he showed off, the more money he might get.
"No, what card are you talking about? I have a card here, do you want it?" Xia Han was about to lose her temper. She really didn't understand what they were talking about. It was too difficult to communicate.
"Want, want, want!" Before Brother Wen could speak, the subordinate had already answered first. Then, remembering the boss behind him, he immediately put on a serious expression, "Ahem, the boss said he wants to inspect the goods."
Brother Wen nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Han had no other choice. It was best not to anger them now. She reached into her bag and took out a card she often used. Her father would deposit money into this card regularly.
Before she could extend her hand, she heard an angry roar, "You little lady dare to trick me!" Can this card compare to that black card? This damned woman must have pocketed it herself.
...
"Who made you, Young Master Lu, angry? Let me guess... Xia Han?" Qi Jiayou sat lazily on the sofa, gently swirling a wine glass in his hand.
This guy had called him just now. He had merely not answered the line temporarily, and the guy had called one after another. He thought something big had happened. He had put down his important work for this?
He had been taking care of his woman recently. Who else could make him so angry besides that person?
But what was the point of coming here and just drinking?
Lu Haoran took a fierce gulp of wine, remaining silent, but it was an obvious acknowledgment.
He was very agitated now. He roughly pulled open his collar, and two buttons popped off, revealing a large expanse of his chest.
"If those women saw you like this, they might swallow you whole," Qi Jiayou said, adding fuel to the fire.
"Damn," he was already annoyed enough, and You was still pouring oil on the fire. Who wanted those women to swallow him whole? Lu Haoran frowned and strode out with his coat, "Clang~"
Hearing the violent slamming of the door behind him, Qi Jiayou chuckled, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip. Wine, it was exciting at first taste, then mellow and sweet.
Outside, Lu Haoran couldn't calm down. This feeling of losing control was too terrible. He had moved so far away from the hustle and bustle, yet it was still so noisy. Lu Haoran, in his anger, kicked a stone fiercely.
"Where did you hide, you damned woman? If you don't hand it over, I'll strip you naked."
