“No, maybe… I borrowed five billion RMB from him, so unconsciously, I would just let him have his way. You also know that I can’t be too headstrong when I’m in such a huge debt.”
Gu Mian actually wanted to tell Su Qianxun the truth, but it was currently new year, so she felt like it was best to talk about these worries after the new year. She did not want Su Qianxun to have a bad new year because of her.
“That’s true. The financial disparity would cause some differences in how two people interact. This is also the reason why I don’t want Long Sijue’s money. Although we have an agreement relationship between us, I still don’t want to be in an unequal position with him.”
Su Qianxun felt somewhat helpless, but Gu Mian’s situation was special. Unfortunately, she had an older brother who caused troubles to her.
“Then try to think of a way to pay his money back to him. You won’t have this feeling anymore once you pay him. Only then, you’ll be able to be bold and confident when you face him.”
Gu Mian’s eyes widened at what Su Qianxun had said. It was five billion RMB! It was practically an astronomical figure to her! She always thought that she would not have this much money even if she lived ten lives, let alone pay it back to Tang Zui.
“Five billion RMB, I…”
“Although five billion is more than the number of stars in the sky, if you just set this goal for yourself, I believe there will be a day where you’ll reach it… If you don’t even have a goal, then you’ll never, ever reach it.” Su Qianxun held her hands.
“What you’ve said… kind of makes sense… Let’s go to buy something first, then go back home to make lunch after that. We can talk about this again in the future.”
Gu Mian held her hand and continued to walk inward. Su Qianxun started to seriously pick the ingredients for today’s lunch whereas Gu Mian kept on thinking about paying five billion RMB to Tang Zui. She felt an enlightenment from what Su Qianxun said.
That was right, she could set a goal for yourself. She believed that there would be a day where she could have five billion RMB to pay him!
When that moment came, she could make a clean break with him!
When Gu Mian thought about that, her mood had also gotten better. She also had a smile on her face and started to pick food ingredients seriously along with Su Qianxun.
When the two of them walked to a fish stall, Su Qianxun picked out a big and fat fish and asked the worker to help her to kill and clean the fish.
…..
In the car, Si Mancheng was looking at his cell phone out of boredom. He suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from the marketplace. In just a moment, the food market was burning up, and the sounds of crying and screaming rose into the air.
Si Mancheng was shocked and his cell phone fell onto the car. When he came back to his senses, he immediately got out of the car and rushed toward the marketplace. However, those people who were unharmed kept rushing out with all their might, and Si Mancheng was forced out by the crowd…
He anxiously peered in, hoping to see Su Qianxun and Gu Mian to come out. But he waited for a very long time and his hopes were dashed. He grabbed a person and asked, “Did you see two young women? They are tall and slim with long hair, and especially beautiful.”
“I saw the,.. That’s where the two of them are… where the explosion happened!” That person said. He then pushed Si Mancheng away and ran.
At that moment, Si Mancheng felt as if he fell through thin ice. He was stunned for a few seconds before remembering to make a call for help. But his cell phone was not in his hand. He ran into the marketplace while pressing the emergency button on his wristwatch.
He, Long Sijue and Tang Zui each had this wristwatch. They would never press this button unless the situation was most urgent…
Once the button was pressed, it meant that that person was already on the verge of death.
When Long Sijue and Tang Zui’s wrist watches started to ring, their hearts dropped with intensity…
