Unlike his heavy and uneasy mood before, his footsteps became lighter as he went back. The cold wind blew on his face, Qiao Mu tightened his collar, sucked in his reddened nose, raised his hand to cover his chest position, feeling extremely excited.
Qiao Mu did not immediately return to the hospital. Instead, she found an ATM machine on the street and looked around carefully. Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly took out the golden bank card from her cotton jacket.
On the back of the bank card, there was a label with the number '60' written on it. Qiao Mu inserted the card into the slot and entered the password with trembling fingertips. She did not know how much money was inside, but from what the old bastard had said, it was enough for her mother's surgery fee.
"Holy shit, five hundred thousand!"
Qiao Mu could no longer remain calm. That old bastard was really generous. After giving so much to his mother, he could still save some money to pay off his debt, even though he was still far away.
Qiao Mu excitedly looked at the string of zeros. If she wasn't on the street, she would have jumped up. Err … that's not right. Qiao Mu rubbed her eyes. She lay down on the screen of the ATM and counted the string of zeros.
"Emma, I must be seeing things. Count it again."
Stretching out her slender index finger, she pointed at the string of zeroes. One and two... Six, six zeros! Qiao Mu's feet went soft. Her little face trembled and her breathing quickened. Fuck, it's not 500,000 yuan, it's 5,000,000 yuan!
Five million! Qiao Mu had never seen so much money in her life. The series of zeros made her eyes sparkle. With trembling hands, she pulled out the bank card and quickly put it away.
"Damn, isn't that old bastard too generous? Five million to sell himself for? This is too extravagant! I didn't realize I was so valuable!" Qiao Mu raised her trembling little hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
She was a penniless little pauper in the morning, and now she was a million little rich women.
With such a huge sum of money on her body, Qiao Mu was even more careful. Her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest. Her palms were covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
She pressed her beating heart and swallowed her saliva. She could not help but curse herself, "Damn it, Qiao Mu, do you still have any prospects? You have to be f * cking calm. Isn't it just 5 million? If you continue jumping like this, you'll die!"
Even though he said that, the plopping sounds in his chest didn't seem to slow down at all. Even his temples were throbbing faintly.
Five million yuan was enough to pay back the huge debt that her father had owed her. From then on, they would have no debts at all. This was something she had never even dared to think about before.
At this moment, Qiao Mu was so excited that she wanted to cry. She even suspected that the old scoundrel had already investigated and given her just enough money to repay her debt.
Walking on the main street, Qiao Mu didn't know whether it was due to her mental state or not, but she felt that the people around her were all looking at her with ill intentions.
"Damn it, what am I doing? I don't have any money!" After muttering these words, Qiao Mu felt that she must have been too excited to be able to say such idiotic words.
'Damn it! Qiao Mu, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Isn't this the place to die?! '
Qiao Mu quickly shut her mouth to prevent herself from saying anything more. She reached out her hand to stop a taxi. She didn't care since she was currently a millionaire and wanted to take a taxi.
He didn't dare to get into the front passenger seat, instead, he got into the back of the car, took out his 300-dollar second-hand large screen phone, leaned on the back of the front seat, took a picture of the driver's information card, and then waved the phone at the driver with a serious expression.
"Big bro, don't think so much. I've already sent your information to my friends. If I don't get home in half an hour, my friends will call the police."
The driver brother looked confused. "…"
He had seen a lot of passengers, but this was the first time he saw such a strange person.
Qiao Mu didn't pay attention to the big brother's crazed look. Instead, she clenched her hands tightly around the inside pocket of her cotton garment, afraid that she would lose five million if she wasn't careful.
From time to time, the chauffeur would raise his hand to take a look at the rearview mirror. Seeing that the little girl had been clutching her chest with a flushed face and an erratic gaze, he thought that the little girl had met with some danger and kindly asked, "Little sister, do you want me to send you to the police station?"
Qiao Mu suddenly raised his head. 'Why the fuck did I go to the police station? I walked right into a trap saying that I went to the head of the underworld to sell off my organs.
Qiao Mu quickly waved her hand and laughed dryly. "No, no need. Big brother, hurry and send me home. It's already been half the time. If I don't go back in half an hour, you'll be hunted down by the police."
Driver: "…"
After Qiao Mu paid for the taxi, he quickly ran back to his house. The driver was confused as he looked at himself in the rearview mirror and touched his chin, "Do I look like a bad person?" I think he's quite handsome! "
She took out her keys, opened the door, closed the door, and locked it. Her actions were done in one go. Only then did Qiao Mu lean against the door as he panted heavily.
F * ck, this doesn't make sense. Previously, he owed a few million, but now, he's in this state of being a soldier of war with the slightest bit of trouble. Why is he still in this mood now that he owed a few million, this isn't right!
Returning to his room, he took out the contract from his school bag and took out his bank card. Qiao Mu half closed his eyes and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Five million, she sold him off.
He felt like he had been on a roller coaster, and his mood fluctuated tremendously. At first, he was wild with joy, but now, he felt a tinge of sadness.
His gaze fell onto the last signature of the contract, which had three bold and powerful words written on it — Simujo.
"Hey, when did this old man sign his name? You've already signed it? "Xi Muqiao, Xi Muqiao …"
Qiao Mu incessantly chanted the three words and frowned. Why was this name so familiar? It was as if he had heard it before. He racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reason.
"Looks like this boss of the underworld, this old man, is quite famous. I must have heard this name somewhere before."
It was no wonder that the old saying went '360 lines' and '360 lines' when it came to being the top scholar. Sometimes, one had to admit that he was really unconvinced. Look at him! He can even rise to prominence as a gangster!
Qiao Mu carefully folded the contract and placed it in a small dark green metal box. She inadvertently saw a pink strawberry hair clip lying quietly in the corner of the box.
With her eyes half-closed, a hint of sadness flashed through her dark almond eyes. She picked up the hairpin and held it in her hand, staring blankly for a long time. Then, she slowly sighed and carefully put it back in the box.
More than ten years later, she had returned to River City, a place that retained the memories of her childhood. But that big brother of his would never be seen again.
