Mr. Sun thought that what he had done was very smooth. Not many people could see through his intentions. However, Chen Meng’er happened to be one of those few people.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er did not really want to go. It was not that she was uncomfortable with Mr. Sun’s scheme, but that she was too lazy to deal with these “strangers”.
However, this time, Chen Meng’er did not want to go, but she had to go.
It was Saturday morning, and she had not woken up yet, her grandfather, Elder Liu, knocked on her door happily. “Meng’er, your phone is ringing. It’s a little girl. She says she is a friend of yours at school.” No wonder Elder Liu was so happy when he received a call from a person who claimed to be his granddaughter’s friend.
She didn’t have any friends of the same age. Even her classmates didn’t call Chen Meng’er to look for her.
For this reason, Elder Liu said to Zhuge Yu and the others many times behind her back, “Hey, Zhuge, don’t you think I’ve gone too far? I’ve pushed Meng’er too hard. Otherwise, how can Meng’er not have any friends of her age?”
Chen Meng’er, who rarely wanted to stay in bed, sat up in a huff after hearing Elder Liu’s words. Her grandfather did not say who it was, but she knew who it was.
Now, Chen Meng’er regretted telling Qiu Jing her phone number yesterday. She didn’t expect Qiu Jing to call her so early in the morning.
“Meng’er, are you up?” Elder Liu shouted again outside the door, afraid that Chen Meng’er was asleep and didn’t hear him.
“I’m up, Grandpa. I’ll call my classmate back in a while.” Chen Meng’er smoothed her hair and resigned herself to her fate. She got out of bed, changed her clothes, and went to wash up.
When Chen Meng’er finished washing up and went to the kitchen to call Qiu Jing back, Elder Liu’s eyes were as bright as a light bulb the entire time.
Under her grandfather’s gaze, Chen Meng’er calmly picked up the phone and dialed Qiu Jing’s home number. This was the number Qiu Jing had forced on Chen Meng’er. The call was quickly connected. It was not difficult for Chen Meng’er to guess that Qiu Jing must have been waiting by the phone all this time, waiting for her call.
This made Chen Meng’er slightly less angry because she was woken up early in the morning.
“Hello, Meng’er, is that you?” Before Chen Meng’er could speak, Qiu Jing’s loud voice came from the other side of the phone.
Qiu Jing’s voice was so loud that Elder Liu could hear it even if he did not raise his head.
“Yes, it’s me. Qiu Jing, What do you want from me so early in the morning?” Chen Meng’er was already used to her friend’s loud voice.
“Oh, nothing much. I’m just reminding you. Don’t forget, we have an appointment to go shopping together today. Then, I’ll see you at the mall. I won’t leave until I see you.” As she said that, Qiu Jing hung up.
Chen Meng’er didn’t even have to think. This little girl was afraid that she would refuse.
Chen Meng’er hung up the phone and shook her head helplessly. Qiu Jing’s temper was really…
Chen Meng’er turned around and met her grandfather’s smiling eyes. The corners of Chen Meng’er’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. She didn’t know what had happened to her grandfather so early in the morning.
Before Chen Meng’er could ask, Elder Liu opened his mouth and said, “Meng’er, are you going to go shopping with your classmate today?”
“Yes, I promised yesterday. Why? Do I have something important to deal with today?” Chen Meng’er asked in puzzlement.
“No, no.” Elder Liu hurriedly denied, “Go shopping with your classmate today. Speaking of which, it was my mistake. Girl, you have been in Beijing for so many years, but you haven’t had a good time shopping in Beijing. This time, go shopping with your classmate. Right, is the money enough? If not,” Elder Liu pondered, then, he said to Zhuge Yu, who was sitting and eating, “Zhuge, go to my place later to give Meng’er the money.”
“Grandpa, don’t be so worried. I have money.” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Liu and almost rolled her eyes.
“Yes, that’s true. In our place, if you want to talk about money, there’s really no one who can compare to the little miss,” Ah Biao said as he put a soup dumpling into his bowl. “I’ve heard my brother-in-law say more than once that the little miss is really the god of wealth,” Ah Biao said as he stuffed a soup dumpling into his mouth. By accident, he was scalded by the soup dumpling until he grimaced.
Ah Biao’s words reminded Zhuge Yu and the others of the large amount of money that had been added to their accounts. Then, they couldn’t help but nod their heads in agreement. Needless to say, right now, their Green Gang was really counting on their little miss to be the richest.
“Your money is your money. The money that I give you is to buy you some food and clothes. Zhuge, give the money to Meng’er in a while.” Elder Liu said without allowing any rejection.
Chen Meng’er also knew that if she refused her grandpa’s money, she didn’t know how long he would pout at her. Forget it, forget it. Since it was a small favor from her grandpa, she had to accept it.
Chen Meng’er had just finished her breakfast when her grandpa kicked her out of the Green Gang. In other words, she couldn’t let others wait for too long. It was impolite.
Well, Chen Meng’er could only carry the money that her grandfather had given her and fill her bag to the brim. She went out to meet up with Qiu Jing at the mall.
Sitting in the car, Chen Meng’er looked at the bag filled with money and felt a headache coming on. Especially before she left, her grandfather, Elder Liu’s words gave her a headache. Her grandfather had said that if she didn’t spend all this money today, she shouldn’t come home.
Chen Meng’er really had a headache. How should she spend all this money?
She didn’t need to worry about food, clothing, and transportation. The clothes she usually wore were either made by herself or made by her mother’s company. The Green Gang had their own chefs for food. Their skills were comparable to imperial chefs.
After all, she really did not have anything to spend on.
