"It's really a sha that scumbag Bi Quan got away. When I have the ti, I'm going to give him a proper lesson," Xiao Feng said with a look of regret.
Lu Yao chuckled, "Brother Yanhuang, I checked earlier and in a few days, Shihan's favorite singer is performing in Jiangcheng, right? Bi Junxian's company is hosting the event, and there's a rumor he will be there in person."
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. If that's the case, he wouldn't have to go looking for them.
Just then, Zhao Guo'an's phone rang.
Zhen Jinghan glanced at it and saw the screen displayed "Grandson."
"Hello, grandson, why are you calling ?" Zhao Guo'an asked in a feigned tone.
A young man's voice ca through the receiver: "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?" Zhao Guo'an was puzzled. "I don't think today is any significant holiday, right?"
"Hehe, you're done for," the young man sneered.
"Bullshit!" Zhao Guo'an roared angrily, "You're the one who's done for."
The young man wasn't fazed, his tone playful, "Let's just wait and see."
From his tone, it seed like he was ready to hang up.
"Wait!" Zhao Guo'an panicked and asked, "What exactly is today?"
The young man didn't keep him in suspense and revealed the answer, "Today is my grandfather's eightieth birthday. He just told everyone that Little Anzi would definitely bring him a special birthday present.
You know, my grandfather loves saving face the most. If you embarrass him in front of everyone, you know what the consequences are."
"Damn!"
Zhao Guo'an shivered in fear and quickly checked the calendar. After confirming the date, a cold sweat began to seep visibly across his forehead.
At this ti, the young man added, "Don't say I didn't warn you, handle it yourself, bye."
"Wait, wait, wait! You quickly go buy a gift, and I'll transfer the money to you later," Zhao Guo'an said while wiping his cold sweat.
The young man refused without hesitation, "Forget it, when you say later, it pretty much ans never. Don't even think about fronting the money for you."
"Don't just watch flounder, grandson, I've always treated you well," Zhao Guo'an pleaded.
"Who's the grandson now?"
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
The young man prompted, "I'm asking you, who did you say is the grandson?"
", , , I'm the grandson, alright? Just help out," Zhao Guo'an conceded.
"Then transfer the money promptly," the young man retorted.
Zhao Guo'an had no choice but to agree, saying, "Fine, I'll transfer one million to you later. You can choose a birthday gift."
"One million, hmm... that should be enough," the young man chuckled, "but let state up front, you give a million, I'll only buy sothing worth around half a million for you."
"What do you an?"
"Isn't it obvious? The other half million is my service fee, can't expect to run errands for free, can you?"
"Fifty thousand for running an errand, do you have no sha?"
The young man remained unfazed, "Watch your tone and language, right now you're the one asking for my help, not the other way around. If you piss off, I might just tell my grandpa that you actually forgot his birthday."
"Do you think my ntor would believe that?"
"Hehe, I have a recording."
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
After fuming for a while, Zhao Guo'an asked, "Where are my parents?"
"With my grandpa, chatting over tea. Honestly, if it wasn't for them asking , do you think I'd call to remind you?" the young man laughed. "Give up any illusions, right now, the only one who can and will help you is ."
"Fine, grandson, just you wait!" Zhao Guo'an gritted his teeth.
The young man seed indifferent, chuckling lightly, "I'm waiting... waiting for you to send the money."
Then, he hung up.
Although the details weren't clear to everyone, the general gist could be understood.
Simply put, Zhao Guo'an forgot his ntor's birthday, and was being extorted by the ntor's grandson.
"Old Zhao, you even forgot your ntor's birthday. It seems you're not just morally questionable, you lack personal integrity too," the young girl taunted directly.
Zhao Guo'an had no mood to argue with the young girl and instead ran over to Xiao Feng, rubbing his hands, "Old Xiao, I'm in urgent need, lend one hundred and fifty thousand first. I'll pay you two hundred thousand back later."
"I heard it clearly just now, your ntor's grandson said when you say 'later,' it's basically never," Xiao Feng chuckled. "And do you rember how you responded when I tried to borrow money from you recently?"
"That ti was my mistake. Now you really can't just watch suffer. You don't understand my ntor's temper, it could really beco a problem, really!" Zhao Guo'an pleaded eagerly.
Xiao Feng chuckled, "Goodbye!"
With that, he turned and left, his steps carefree.
Finally, he avenged himself!
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
What goes around cos around. Karma is relentless. It used to be him saying goodbye, now it's the other way around.
The young girl saw Zhao Guo'an looking at her, and imdiately declared, "Don't look at , I'm still young and don't have one hundred and fifty thousand."
"I actually have..." Lu Yao said.
Zhao Guo'an's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Lu Yao was dragged away by the young girl.
Lin Zhiyan shook her head with a smile, "I could lend it to you, but I'm curious, won't even one hundred and fifty thousand do you have?"
"I have one hundred and fifty thousand," Zhao Guo'an smiled bitterly. "But I was afraid Old Xiao would ask for a loan, so I turned it all into a fixed deposit. Now I can't access it."
Lin Zhiyan was speechless, "Alright, I'll transfer it to you now."
"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Guo'an said, full of gratitude. "This really saves , as soon as I get the money out, I promise the... "
Before he could finish, Lin Zhiyan started searching in her pocket, puzzled, "Eh? Where's my phone?"
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
So he had been happy for nothing.
He didn't suspect Lin Zhiyan of trying to ss with him this way; it was most likely the phone was lost, or it was taken by Xiao Feng or the young girl.
But regardless of the possibility, he could not get the one hundred and fifty thousand.
"Wait a mont, I'll go find it," Lin Zhiyan turned around and left.
For a mont, Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness; was this not a case of shooting himself in the foot?
Not long after, Zhen Jinghan ca out of the room and asked, "Shihan told you needed to borrow money? How much, I'll transfer it right now."
"Ahem, it's not necessary," Zhao Guo'an shook his head and declined.
He knew that if he asked Zhen Jinghan, not to ntion one hundred and fifty thousand, even fifteen million would be transferred in an instant.
But as a grown man borrowing money from his girlfriend, wouldn't that make people think he was living off her?
Zhao Guo'an felt he couldn't stand such humiliation, so he absolutely couldn't borrow the money!
