Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Wallet Got Stolen_1
Ever since she arrived here, she had been busy every day in the flower shed, and really hadn’t taken the ti to explore the surroundings.
Walking on the quiet, spacious road, Yufei slled the fragrance of the flowers, listened to the birds chirping, and thought how great it would be to live here for the rest of her life.
“Oh no—there’s a robbery!”
A teenage boy, clutching a handbag, ran quickly past Yufei.
“Stop, give it back!” Song Xiaotong dragged her suitcase and pursued the boy crisply. Yufei instantly grasped what was happening and turned to chase as well.
“Stop!” She thought to herself. It was broad daylight and she wasn’t going to let the robber get away.
But the boy ahead moved quickly. He pulled out the wallet from the handbag, tossed the bag at Yufei, took a swift turn and disappeared into an alley.
Yufei picked up the handbag, too drained to continue the pursuit.
She turned toward the woman behind her and said, “Here, your things. Check if anything’s missing.”
“Thank you,” huffed Song Xiaotong as she gratefully took the bag. She rummaged through it and found her wallet was gone.
“What to do, the wallet has been stolen.” She looked up to see Yufei observing her doubtfully.
“What is it?”
Yufei chuckled, “I feel like I’ve t you sowhere before.”
“Really?” Xiaotong gave a small smile, but her face was quickly overtaken with worry again. “Why are there robbers first thing in the morning? Now I’m screwed, my wallet was stolen.”
Yufei looked ahead, guessing, “There are many internet cafes ahead, maybe the boy just ca from one.”
“That might be.” Song Xiaotong searched through her bag, only finding her ID card. Her bank card was in the stolen wallet.
“Good thing I keep my bank card and ID separate, but what use is just an ID? Is there a ZG Bank here? I want to get a new bank card.”
Yufei shook her head: “I don’t think so. The banks here are NY and YZ.”
“I see. Well, I can get a new one… um…” Song Xiaotong blushed, hesitating to ask, “Can you lend so money to get a new card? As soon as my family sends money, I will pay you back.”
Everyone has their hardships. Yufei took out fifty yuan from her pocket, handed it to her and smiled, “Here, take it. No need to pay back.”
“How can I… ”
“Really, there’s no need to pay back.” She handed her the money and continued on her way.
Holding the money in her hand, Song Xiaotong gratefully called after Yufei, “May I know your na? When I get a chance, I will certainly thank you.”
Yufei turned back, gifting her with a gentle smile, but said nothing. She raised her hand in a wave and continued on her way.
Song Xiaotong smiled and waved back, “Thank you again. My na is Song Xiaotong, hope to see you again in the future.”
Suddenly, fragnts of conversations flashed across Yufei’s mind.
[Twenty-three, Song Xiaotong.]
[Detective Shaoming, your wife has already gone in.]
[The doctor says there’s a high chance of pregnancy, but further tests are required.]
[If it is true, abort it.]
She spun around, staring at the retreating figure of Song Xiaotong.
So it was her, no wonder she seed so familiar.
She was the woman Yufei had encountered at the hospital – the wife of prosecutor Bai Shaoming, Song Xiaotong.
