”You …”

Lin Kexin was furious. She wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Xiang Caiwei.

”Kexin, don't be rash.”

After Xiang Caiwei finished speaking, she looked at the big bald man and asked: ”How much is the protection fee?”

These few years, it had become increasingly difficult to do business at Herborn, and there were fewer customers compared to before.

If he just let these nonchalant people make a ruckus in the restaurant, wouldn't that scare away all the remaining customers?

Xiang Caiwei made a decision in her heart, she decided to give in for the time being and to deal with it later.

Otherwise, judging by their posturing, they would have destroyed her shop by now.

”Sister Weiwei, I just texted my sister and she said she would be here soon.” Lin Kexin whispered into Xiang Caiwei's ear.

Xiang Caiwei nodded her head in praise, and said in a low voice as well: ”Kexin, you're really what you are, reacting so quickly! Then let's delay them for now, don't be impulsive, and calm them down first. ”

Lin Kexin replied, ”I know. Right now, they are only pretending to be flustered and exasperated. Don't let them succeed so quickly and delay time! ”

The bald man didn't pay any attention to their whispers as he began to laugh, revealing a mouthful of golden teeth. Then, he extended five fingers.

He was not as shy as Chen Mo who directly shouted, ”Five thousand! The protection fee of five thousand yuan per month is not even a little bit less.”

”Five thousand! You might as well rob them!”

Xiang Caiwei's beautiful eyes widened. The money she earned in a month, after deducting the cost of renting the medicinal ingredients and consumption, was just enough to support her.

Furthermore, Herborn's business was slowly deteriorating, and it was not far from being unable to make ends meet.

The baldy asked for 5,000 yuan, how could she afford it?

When Lin Kexin's Police Sister came over, Xiang Caiwei could only submit and say: ”I don't have that much money!”

”Beauty, you can fart too! Although this shop wasn't big, it was built on the business street and the monthly rent for a fake was over ten thousand yuan. Now, tell me, you can't even afford five thousand yuan to trick ghosts into eating tofu! ”

The bald man swung the baseball bat in his hand and shouted to the brothers behind him, ”Since this beautiful boss can't pay the protection fee, then just go ahead and smash her with all your might.”

His lackeys laughed and raised their baseball bats to throw at the medicine cabinet.

How could Xiang Caiwei allow them to waste something that their grandfather left behind? She used her body to block in front of them and said anxiously: ”I will pay the protection fee, I will give it, don't smash it.”

The bald man raised his hand, and his minions stopped laughing.

”That's right! This person had been forced out. I didn't expect boss to be so beautiful, but he was also a mortal. He had to force his brothers to make a move before he was willing to take the money. To be honest, you look a bit cheap like this! ”

In Xiang Caiwei's life, this was the first time she was insulted in front of others, and she was so angry that her eyes turned red.

But what could they do now?

Could it be that he had to helplessly watch the Herborn left behind by his grandfather get smashed into smithereens?

”Kexin, I only have a little over two thousand. Do you have any money on you? Let me borrow some.” Xiang Caiwei wiped the corners of her eyes, and turned to ask Lin Kexin who was behind him.

The month's rent had only just been paid, adding on to the fact that a batch of medicinal herbs had been brought in by the end of the month, there wasn't much funds left over from Herborn.

Xiang Caiwei was already thrifty enough, but the shop was only worth about 2,000 yuan.

This amount of money, in addition to what was required for the operation, also included her living expenses for this month.
