I Have Money

"Your name is written on the book." Xie Xuan raised his chin and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a packet of tissues and handed it over. "And this, it's a complimentary item from the cafe. Every customer gets one."

"Thank you." She took the tissue and left.

After staring at her slender figure for a few seconds, Xie Xuan's gaze shifted to the bag on her shoulder.

It was flat and looked like an empty bag.

If that's the case, why didn't she put the book in the bag?

…

At the counter.

Xie Xuan transferred the twenty-five yuan he received directly into his boss's account.

When his phone made the sound of receiving a WeChat payment, the owner spoke, "Why? Didn't get her WeChat?"

What did he mean by not getting WeChat? He did not even ask for it.

Seeing him silent, the owner thought he might be feeling down and tried to console him, "Don't be so disheartened if you didn't get her WeChat. As the saying goes, fate brings us together from thousands of miles away. If you're destined to couple with that girl, you'll meet again sooner and later."

"I heard that her sister said the girl can live for a year with 30,000 yuan. I assume her family background isn't that great."

"So, work harder now and save up more money. When you pay off the debts and the girl is with you, she won't have to suffer."

"Especially, don't let her suffer the disdain of her sister."

Xie Xuan understood the situation better now.

So, the reason the Little Marshmallow secretly wiped her tears was because she was being mistreated by her sister.

The owner continued to say, "Honestly, don't be fooled by that girl's appearance. She looks obedient, but she's quite stubborn. She even refused her sister's money, and I overheard…"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xie Xuan felt his phone vibrating urgently in his pocket.

He didn't rush to take it out. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall. "I'm going to the toilet!"

…

After leaving the cafe, Lu Haiqiao stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi.

Her destination was a mall some distance away.

She was lucky. She had just entered the mall when raindrops the size of beans started falling from the sky.

She glanced around and noticed that quite a few people had come in to take shelter from the rain.

Some of them took out their phones and connected to the mall's Wi-Fi, playing games to pass the time.

Perfect.

The more people, the better.

Lu Haiqiao smiled and found a relatively quiet bench to sit on.

She took out a Bluetooth earpiece from her pocket and put it on her ear. Then she opened WeChat and made a voice call while taking out a tablet from her bag.

It was 2:50 p.m., just in time.

The WeChat voice call connected.

Xu Duo's voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece. "I thought you'd be late."

Lu Haiqiao chuckled. "How is that possible? I've never been late when I want something."

Xu Duo clicked her tongue. "But this time, it's not something you want. It belongs to you."

Lu Haiqiao: "Then it's even less likely for me to fail."

Xu Duo: "Don't be too complacent. There might be competitors."

Lu Haiqiao: "I have money."

Xu Duo: "…"

With just those three words, you've won.

The link Xu Duo shared on WeChat was for a large auction website.

Lu Haiqiao typed the website name into her tablet's browser and clicked to enter.

The homepage featured scrolling advertisements, and her target for today was right there.

Two paintings.

One was called 'Flower Moon'. The other was called 'Night'.

However, these two paintings, along with one more named 'Spring River', belonged to the same series.
