Chapter 110 The Death of Zhou Xiao (1/2)
A Miao told Shen Xinglan what Ling Lang said.
”You suspect me.” He stared at her.
A Miao shot him a glare as her face dropped and she ignored him.
Shen Xinglan pursed his mouth and said, ”I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.” He also bowed his head. How many years had he not said sorry...
”I'm just reminding you, no matter what you want, be careful,” A Miao said and stood to go upstairs.
Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand. ”It's not what you think.”
The two of them were silent for a moment. Shen Xinglan slowly took her in his arms. ”In fact, I don't know. Listen to me slowly.”
”When I was a child, my mother used to say some puzzling things about a jade pendant. At that time, I didn't understand. Later, when I grew up, I generally understood what she meant.”
Perhaps this jade pendant was the treasure of their family, and not only their family. There were several pieces, Shen Xinglan also did not know.
”It must be seven,” A Miao said suddenly.
Shen Xinglan was a little surprised. ”How do you know?”
”Because the seven pieces can be gathered together to summon the dragon!” A Miao said with a smile.
”I knew you would react this way.” Shen Xinglan pinched her face. ”That's why I wouldn't tell you.”
A Miao looked at him. ”So, not only you, but also others are looking for these jade pendants?”
”I don't know.” Shen Xinglan scowled. ”But since there's something else, someone must be looking for it...”
What he did not say was that after the last auction, he began to suspect one person, Jiang Hua. His appearance was too coincidental, especially after the robbers were all killed.
Shen Xinglan did not tell A Miao. He knew that in A Miao's heart, Jiang Hua was even her only friend...
”You don't have to worry about this. Do you have to go to school tomorrow?”
A Miao extended her arm to him and said, ”It's all right.”
”Don't pick at it, let the scab fall off,” Shen Xinglan said while he glanced at her.
Soon after, A Miao's life suddenly became normal. She went to school every day and even Ji Xue who came out from time to time before disappeared.
Soon it was the end of June, the day before summer vacation. She packed up all her textbooks, and then Shen Xinglan would take her back to the villa.
”A Miao!” At the school entrance, she was stopped.
”Zhou Xiao...” She looked at the woman in front of her with a complicated expression.
Wearing a big black vest and dirty jeans, her feet were actually pedaling a pair of slippers, not to mention her disheveled hair and yellow complexion, she looked 10 years older.
”Are you happy? Are you happy to see me like this?” Zhou Xiao's voice trembled slightly and his eyes were fixed on A Miao.
”I think you've made a mistake. I have nothing to do with whether you are good or bad.” A Miao stepped back, wondering if it was her misperception, but Zhou Xiao seemed to have a strange smell.
Zhou Xiao's face was grim. ”But you're the one who hurt me, it's all you!”
”What happened to you?” A Miao looked at her carefully.
Zhou Xiao suddenly grabbed her hand and said, ”A Miao, please help me and give me some money. I borrow it from you, and I will give it back.”
”What do you want money for?” A Miao pushed her away with a frown. Who knew that Zhou Xiao would fall to the ground, she had no energy.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhou Xiao was not angry at all. Instead, she directly hugged A Miao's leg. ”I beg you to give me money. I need money!”
”Get up first.”
The students around pointed them. A Miao's status in the school was known to everyone, and they still did not know what would happen if they saw this scene today.
The two of them were tearing at each other when a Maybach came by quickly. After the brakes were applied, Shen Xinglan walked over to A Miao with a black face and kicked Zhou Xiao away.
”Do you want to die?” His voice was like an icy blade in a cold wind. Zhou Xiao shivered on the ground.
A Miao took his arm and said, ”Forget it. Let's go.”
When they got in the car, Zhou Xiao stumbled to her feet and tried to rush at him. Unfortunately, Shen II was faster and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator.
”There seems to be something wrong with her.” A Miao saw from the window that Zhou Xiao was still crying for money.
Shen Xinglan naturally also heard it. ”Once you give it to her the first time, there will be a second time.”
”But why does she need money so badly?” A Miao said suspiciously, ”I also spoke to Auntie Song on the phone the other day. The baozi shop business is stable. There is enough for Zhou Xiao's living expenses.”
”If you're worried, I'll have someone check it out.” Shen Xinglan took her hand. ”But you have to consider whether or not you want to help her.”
In the end, they still did not know the reason, Song Baohua called in the evening.
”A Miao, is Zhou Xiao with you?”
”No,” A Miao thought of the previous events and said, ”but she came to school to find me at noon. Hasn't she returned yet?”
Song Baohua's voice was angry and full of urgency. ”She came back and went out again. A few people said just now that the store had been transferred and they gave me three days to move out.”
”How is that possible?” A Miao's eyes shone with a fierce expression. ”Is it...”
”It was that damned girl!” Song Baohua gasped. ”She signed the contract and now the store is no longer ours.”
