C153 Call me Young Master (1/2)
Qi He did not stay in the imperial capital for long. He took a large amount of banknotes with him as he hurried towards the Scarlet Earth.
She took a rest at a teahouse to drink some tea and eat two steamed buns. After all, this place was quite remote and there really wasn't much good stuff for her to enjoy.
However, the problem arose because the amount of banknotes she had brought along was too much for her to handle. As for Qi and this little girl, they had never known what it meant to keep money hidden, so everyone present knew that this woman was a rich lady.
At this moment, a hoodlum walked over and tried to get close to her. ”Miss, are you lonely traveling alone?”
Wei He wasn't an idiot. He knew that the other party was up to no good, but the other party was a man after all. If she were to force her way in, she would definitely not be a match for him.
Therefore, she could only smile and reply, ”Not bad.”
Such a sweet smile gave the other party a shameless resolve.
”However, it is not safe for a lady to travel alone. Let me accompany you. That way, I can protect you and chat with you. Wouldn't killing two birds with one stone?” How rare, for a local thug to say such nice words.
It was simply too unbelievable. Therefore, he was not afraid of hooligans, but he was afraid of hooligans possessing culture.
Qi He's patience was quite good, ”I don't dare to trouble young master, thank you for your good intentions.”
”Young Master? You called me Young Noble? ”
No one had ever called him that before, so other than shock, there was nothing else.
”Isn't it? ”Then call me Mister.” Actually, she was belittling him in a disguised manner, making it laughable that he didn't recognize her and thought she had gotten the upper hand.
”No, no, no. This is even more ridiculous.” Fortunately, he knew what he was worth.
Qi He smiled without a word, and silently sipped some cold tea. As expected, he felt much more refreshed.
Wang Hu wasn't someone who would give up halfway through the journey. When he saw the banknotes she had revealed earlier, he couldn't help but scratch his heart. If he didn't get his hands on them, he wouldn't be able to sleep in peace.
This was how people were infatuated with money.
”Miss, we know each other now. To be honest, my mother is seriously ill and my father was injured recently. I wonder if you can show some mercy and help out?” The reason for this was vulgar. He could tell that it was a lie just by looking at it.
”Although we did say a few words, but it seems that we haven't reached the friendship of being able to borrow money. What do you think?” Wei He asked. Although he knew that he might not be able to beat him, but he couldn't let him kill him for no reason, right? As a person, one still needed to have integrity and wisdom.
Wang Hu revealed his true colors as he slammed the table. ”You won't agree if I speak nicely to you. Are you forcing me to use force or what?”
He had originally thought that this girl had some sort of moral character, but he never thought that she was just teasing him.
Qi He burst into tears and blinked his eyes as he squeezed out a few drops of tears, ”The human heart is not ancient, and the world is cold. Don't tell me that there isn't a warm-hearted person who can help me?” He then looked around at the crowd. He could tell that they were basically unwilling to interfere in this matter.
Seeing that no one was helping her, Wang Hu became even more pleased with himself. ”Heh heh! So what if you pretend to be pitiful and get sympathy? ”Let me tell you, in this place, you don't even have a chance!”
Qi He gritted his teeth in anger. This bastard, he didn't know who he was talking to for him to be so daring.
However, she still couldn't reveal her identity. If news of this got to his father's ears, he would probably blame her for causing trouble.
Thinking back, it was a wise choice for Father to send Shen Yu and Shen Bao over to her side to protect her.
However, since they were in a hurry back home this time, they could not afford to take the two of them with them. Furthermore, by leaving them in the Scarlet Mountain Range, they could also monitor Chen Lin's recent movements and make plans for the future.
The scoundrel stretched out a thief's cheap hand towards Qi He. Although she tried to avoid it, she realized that it was all in vain. It was as if she had suddenly become a lamb that could be slaughtered at any moment.
