Xinyan sat on the bed blankly, with the broken pair of glasses beside her.
She lowered her eyes, and You Lanye's words were repeated in her ears over and over again. He had really settled the engagement, without any nostalgia, and decisively, as if he had gotten rid of a big burden and trouble.
Tongyue opened the door and looked at her lonely look, with a hint of distress on her cold face. She walked over and handed the thing in her hand to her, "This is new, wear it and take a look."
Looking at the black-rimmed glasses in her hand, she stroked them gently, and tears fell down again.
This new pair is exactly the same as the previous one, regardless of size or style. However, if it is broken, it is broken. This pair is no longer the original one.
She looked at Tongyue blankly, "Ayue, he completely rejected it. What should I do?"
He raised his eyebrows, took out the glasses in her hand and placed them directly on the bridge of her nose, "There's nothing to do, just be yourself."
"Me?" Xinyan's eyes fell back on the broken pair of lenses, "I'm afraid, it will be very difficult." Suddenly, she remembered something and grabbed Tongyue's hand suddenly, "Ayue, Ling Fei
Did an accident happen and we failed to contact them? Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mr. Ye to come here to ask for someone?"
Tongyue lowered her eyes without leaving any trace, and said comfortingly, "Ling Fei's matter has nothing to do with you from now on. She escaped on her own, whether dead or alive, so don't get involved anymore.
"
"But," Xinyan said anxiously, "I was the one who let go..."
Tongyue pressed her lips and looked at her steadily, "This is what the two uncles meant."
Xinyan lowered her head silently and stopped arguing. In Tantric Buddhism, the two uncles said the same thing, and no one except Ah Yue dared to refute it, let alone a half-toned girl like her who was stupid and not good at learning.
"Lie down for a while." Putting her on the bed, Tongyue pulled the quilt and tucked her in. His white hands stroked her long hair, and finally, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Go to sleep.
.”
"Oh." Xinyan obediently closed her eyes until the sound of Tongyue's leaving footsteps disappeared. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. She jumped out of bed, took out her backpack, and put some simple clothes in it.
, opened the drawer again, took out a wallet that was slightly worn and whitened, and poured out the change inside.
"One, two, three..." She counted the pitifully few tickets, and finally didn't even let go of the coins, and finally sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, "Hey, it's only more than eighty yuan, which is not even enough for a ride.
"
There was no way, people in the tantric sect would perform tasks first and then get paid. But Ah Yue wouldn't let her go out at all. Once, she had to wait for a long time before she finally received a task. Who would have thought that Ah Yue would know
Finally, she went to Uncle Guan and lost her temper. In the end, she was made to look like a supernumerary, and no one dared to send her on missions anymore.
If Ah Yue hadn't given her half of her remuneration every time, she wouldn't have even a dime. What's terrible is that she is a stupid person, and she will always be cheated by others when she walks out on the street.
Such clumsy deceptions as "My family suffered a flood and the whole family died"; "My parents are in bed and the child is just one month old" often made her obediently give money with tears in her eyes. Every time she was deceived, everyone would laugh at her.
, only Ah Yue wouldn’t. He would gently touch her hair and say with a smile, “My Ah Yan is the kindest person in the world.”
Hey, no matter how kind a person is, he still needs money.
Looking at the dozens of dollars, Xinyan gritted his teeth and pocketed them all.
****
"Auntie, did you hear any gunshots last night? Or did you see anyone being kidnapped?"
"No, no, go away."
"Uncle, did you see anyone suspicious? It was probably around one o'clock in the morning."
"I don't know, ask someone else!"
Xinyan has been wandering around the village where Ling Fei disappeared yesterday, but whenever she asks, she will be rejected mercilessly.
In fact, it's not surprising when you think about it. People living in this small village all like a peaceful and easy life. Who would be willing to provoke those terrible things?
However, Xinyan was not discouraged and kept looking for people to inquire. If something happened to Ling Fei, she would not be able to get away from it. She had the responsibility and obligation to find her!
"Miss, are you asking about the gunshots last night?"
Suddenly, a thin man appeared behind him, wearing overalls worn by those who worked on the farm, with a peaked cap on his head, and a pair of triangular eyes that sent out a different message.
"Yes, yes!" Xinyan said excitedly, "Sir, can you help me?"
The man chuckled, "Of course you can, but..." He touched his chin meaningfully, "Miss is probably not someone who likes to get something for nothing."
"Huh?" Xinyan pushed up the glasses on her nose and blinked her eyes in confusion, "Yeah."
Seeing that she didn't understand, the man said patiently, "This is a dangerous job. I don't think anyone wants to tell you, right?"
"Yeah, yeah," Xinyan nodded, then smiled sweetly, "So, sir, you are really a good person."
The man's cheek twitched a few times, and he didn't know if she was pretending to be stupid or if she really didn't understand. He simply said straight to the point, "If you want to know, it's very simple. Give me 50 pounds!"
"50?!" Xinyan exclaimed, "Yes, is it too much?"
"Don't want to give it? Okay, then Miss, you'd better ask someone else. I believe someone will offer you a higher price than this."
Seeing that the man was about to leave, Xinyan quickly chased after him, "Sir, don't leave...just 50 for 50."
"Haha," the man stopped, smiled and stretched out his hand to her, "Bring it here."
"Oh, wait a minute." Xinyan endured the pain, took out her wallet, turned her back, trembling hands, and ruthlessly took out 50 pounds, "Sir, here..."
The man grabbed the money, but Xinyan still couldn't bear to let go. The man squeezed harder, and she squeezed tighter. The two of them went back and forth for a long time, and the man became anxious and snatched it away. Xinyan watched helplessly as he put the money away, and her heart ached.
It has to be swaying in the wind all the time.
She withdrew her reluctant gaze and said, "Sir, can you tell me?"
The man nodded happily, "I did hear gunshots last night."
Xinyan's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "What then?"
The man grinned slyly and stretched out his hand towards her again, "This is the second question. If you want to know, give me another 50 pounds."
"You!!" It wasn't until this moment that Xinyan realized that she had been deceived once again.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her aside impatiently.
Xinyan turned around in anger, "Who——"
Seeing the person next to her, she blinked in disbelief, pushed up her glasses, and exclaimed, "Ye, Ye, Young Master Ye?!"
