When she got home, Jiang Tong felt like she was in a trance, kicking off her shoes randomly, and flopped down on the sofa.
Tired.
So very tired.
Ever since becoming a prosecutor, the case files she reads every day outnumber the grains of salt she’s eaten.
And today, she had to outwit and outfight a steel-hearted guy.
Why is life so hard?
Just as she was lamenting, her phone suddenly pinged with a message alert.
Seeing this, Jiang Tong lazily picked up her phone, but after reading the text, her face immediately fell.
Dear customer, your card ending in 8237 has received a deposit of 1,000,000 RMB. The current balance is 100,000,000 RMB.
Staring at this message for a long time, Jiang Tong smirked coldly and mockingly, tossing the phone back to the edge of the sofa.
She was waiting.
Waiting for that person’s call.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the phone rang abruptly.
"What? Trying to lure me back with money again?" She didn’t check the caller ID and answered directly.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a lion-like roar.
"Jiang Tong, are you out of your mind? Who in their right mind would use money to lure you back? That’s my hard-earned money, don’t you dare scheme!"
Startled by the sudden roar, Jiang Tong blinked and then, after a long mental hiccup, glanced at the caller ID.
Aunt Xia Qiao.
Oops, she had just mocked the wrong person.
Thinking about this, Jiang Tong awkwardly coughed a few times, softening her voice considerably, "Oh my dear aunt, wasn’t it just a misunderstanding? Sorry, don’t be mad."
"A misunderstanding? You dare to make a mistake with me?" Xia Qiao’s voice rose sharply on the other end.
"Don’t sweat the small stuff. By the way, what’s up?"
Xia Qiao snorted coldly, not bothering to argue with her, "I’m coming back the day after tomorrow, so deal with it."
"Huh? Why are you coming back?"
I thought you agreed to stay in Milan for the rest of your life?
"My dad is seriously ill, I have to come back and see him."
Hearing this, Jiang Tong nodded, "Well, then you should come back."
"What? From your tone, it sounds like you’re not very welcoming? Got a boyfriend?"
Previously, she occasionally snuck back to see her dad and always stayed at Jiang Tong’s place.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong immediately frowned and retorted, "How could I possibly have a boyfriend?"
The men in this world are all the same; the one who makes her heart flutter still hasn’t appeared, okay?
Xia Qiao laughed mockingly, "Then what are you afraid of me coming back for?"
"Alright, Auntie, come back soon, I’m so lonely and bored. My life is missing you, only with you would it be more complete!"
This sentence successfully amused Xia Qiao, "Fine, just because of that line, Auntie will mercifully descend once. By the way, how have you been lately?"
Not asking was fine, but as soon as she asked, Jiang Tong got annoyed, chattering about how Shen Anru targeted her, leading to Bao Nan handing in a complaint letter.
"In summary, I think that despicable guy just wants to con me into buying him a meal!"
She just couldn’t understand people like that.
She’s already so poor, why do they still have to swindle her out of a meal!
On the other end, Xia Qiao laughed, "How do you know he’s conning you for a meal?"
"Do I even need to explain?"
Otherwise, why would he hand in a dear complaint letter for no reason?
"What if he’s trying to pursue you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tong shook her head like a rattle drum.
"How is that possible? Have you ever seen anyone pursue someone by reporting them to the boss? And using the reason of having inappropriate relationships! If he wants to pursue me, I’ll do a handstand in the street, okay."
