akes fluttering outside, exhaling a plume of white vapor. Just as she was about to venture out in the wind and snow, she felt a shadow fall over her head. She looked up and saw a black umbrella with a...Chapter 139: The Dead Don't Speak
After leaving the bar, An Pinting didn't leave immediately. Instead, she hid in the shadows and watched. Seeing An Xiaotu once again escape unharmed, saved by a woman, her face was filled with malice, her eyes seemed to be laced with poison, cold and vicious, leading people to the depths of hell.
She gritted her teeth, nails digging into her palm.
I never expected so many well-trained guards to be helpless against An Xiaotu.
Not until An Xiaotu and the others had left, disappeared from sight, did she emerge from the shadows and make a call: “Miss Sikong, there was a woman who saved An Xiaotu. That woman.”
Si Kong Liu Yi was wearing Bluetooth earphones, her slender fingers dancing across the keyboard as she stared at the computer screen. After a while, she spoke, "That woman was sent by Lord Tang Er to protect An Xiaotu."
“You……” An Pingting was startled, then said with anger, “Do you want to kill me You know that Second Master Tang sent someone to protect An Xiaotui, yet you let me use a fake act of distress to lure An Xiaotui to the bar; we’re in this together now. If Second Master Tang finds out about me, you can’t escape responsibility either.”
Luckily, she didn't go back to the bar to ask the bartender what happened, or she might have run into Mr. Tang Er's people.
“Don’t yell at me. If you want to leave now, I won’t stop you. When Master Tang finds out about today's events, I will take full responsibility.” Si Kong Liu Yi’s soft voice turned icy cold. “Anyway, there are plenty of women who want to be with Young Master Tang, I don’t need to cooperate with you.”
What a shame, she had been careless and didn't expect Cheng GeGe to secretly send someone to protect An XiaoTu.
An Pingtong was instantly panicked when she heard that the other person wasn't going to help her.
“No, no, Miss Sikong, I was just afraid that Master Tang would find out. I was so nervous that I blurted out something I shouldn't have.” She quickly explained this, paused for a moment, and then said, “If Master Tang noticed something was wrong and investigated this matter, he would directly interrogate the bar owner, and we would be exposed.”
The Si Kong and Tang families are old friends, and Si Kong Liu Yi and Tang Er Ye as well as Tang Mo San Shao have known each other since childhood.
Before, Si Kong Liu Yi had promised to visit the Tang family and bring her along to create opportunities for her to spend time with Tang Mo Qing. When they arrived at the Tang family, how she approached Tang Mo Qing was up to her own discretion.
An Pingtong planned that if she could have a relationship with Tang Moqing and successfully conceive his child, the Tang family would accept her for the sake of valuing a mother through her son.
"The dead don't speak." Si Kong Liu Yi let out a cold snort, said the words, and then hung up the phone.
……
After An Xiaotu had dinner with Yu Lingzhen, Ling Shuang sent her home.
In order not to scare her parents, she didn't tell them that she had foolishly helped An Pingtong after she got into trouble at the bar that afternoon.
Back in her room, she called An Pingting.
There, An Pingtong, who had just arrived home, saw An Xiaotu's incoming call and immediately jumped in fright. However, she didn't answer An Xiaotu's phone call.
The phone kept ringing and stopping, ringing and stopping again.
An Pingting simply switched it to silent and tossed it aside, then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After three or four times, it finally quieted down.
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, I picked up my phone and saw a text message.
An Pingtong, if you're back home, please return the money to me as soon as possible. Remember, you said you would pay double, which is 735,390 yuan. Account: XXXXXX...
Upon seeing this message, An Pingting was instantly furious. Not only had today's plan failed, but she had also suffered an undeserved loss of several hundred thousand yuan.
But she wasn't planning on replying to An Xiaotu's messages or phone calls.
An Xiaotu's phone had the read receipt feature for text messages. Seeing the notification that the other party had read the message, she waited for a while but didn't see a reply.
Damn it, An Pingtong wants to shirk her debt
So she gritted her teeth and sent another message—— An Pingtong, I urgently need this money. If I have to, I will have my grandpa pay you back. As for how my grandpa will ask you when you owe me the money, I can't guarantee I will tell him the truth.
Anyway, An Pingting is a person who has completely turned cold. She no longer lives in the An family mansion, and she is not afraid to tear up her face even if it means cutting ties with them.
Then...
Within a few minutes, I received an **S notification from the bank stating that I had received 735,390 yuan.
An Xiaotu looked at the numbers on top with great satisfaction. Thinking that she had earned more than 360,000 yuan all at once since she was a child, this feeling was especially wonderful.
Just then, her phone rang. It was An Pingting. Remembering that she hadn't answered his call earlier, An Xiaotu let out a hum and casually tossed the phone aside. He then turned on his computer, put on his headphones, and started playing a game.
She can also be short-tempered.
An's mother carried a bowl of silver ear and red date sweet soup and knocked on the door before entering. Hearing the phone on the bed ringing constantly, she walked straight over, took off An Xiaotu's earphone, and chided softly, "Didn't you hear your phone ringing"
"Huh" An Xiaotu was stunned for a second, then smoothly lied with a smile, "I was just playing games and heard it."
Saying that, she hurriedly stood up and took the sweet soup from her mother's hand. After taking a sip, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother. You worked hard. I'll take the call now."
"Call the other person back right away, they might have something urgent." After saying that, An's mother stepped out of the room, giving her some private space.
An Xiaotu pursed her lips, picked up her phone, and waited for An Pingtong to call again before answering. She deliberately put on a cold tone and asked, "Miss An, what's the matter"
"An Xiaotu, you damn rabbit! How dare you not answer my phone call." An Pingtong couldn't help but angrily shouted.
Worried that An Xiaotu would call her grandfather for money, she immediately transferred the money to An Xiaotu and even wanted to call her, but unexpectedly, An Xiaotu didn't answer her phone.
"I'm eating," said An Xiaotu in a flat tone, taking a sip of silver ear and red date sweet soup. This wasn't a lie, she just hadn't specified if she was eating now or had just finished.
An Pingtong felt like punching a cotton ball, especially stifled.
Gritting her teeth, she said, “I’ve already transferred the money to your account. If you dare tell grandpa about this, try it.”
"Have you already paid him" An Xiaotu feigned ignorance, smiling cheekily. "I won't tell grandpa, if there are any more good deals like this in the future, remember to consider finding me to help your acquaintances pay off their debts. I only charge 1.5 times the interest."
An Pingtong listened to An Xiaotu's thick-skinned words, and when she thought about how she had suddenly let An Xiaotu earn tens of thousands of yuan on her own, her heart became increasingly unbalanced.
Damn, An Xiaotu, how long can you keep acting so arroganta only wanted An Xiaotu to worry about her and care for her, she didn't intend to let An Xiaotu know that she had just encountered Tang Angelica.She shook her head, forcing a wry smile: "Mom, I'm fine...
