Chapter 161: Extra: Just Follow Her
He took He Huanhuan to the county town and wandered around the streets. As they wandered, the grievance in He Huanhuan's heart vanished, leaving only confusion. "What are you doing?" she asked.
Wasn't he going to find someone to help her get revenge?
Why were they just wandering around in front of the spicy hotpot restaurant?
She was so hungry from all this wandering that he didn't even take her in to have a bowl.
He looked decent, but why was he so stingy?
She couldn't help but suspect that this guy might be unreliable.
Could he... be a human trafficker?
At this thought, her pupils dilated in shock!
Damn it!
He must be!
She lowered her head and her eyes darted around.
Forget about revenge, she'd better focus on saving her own life first!
Her eyes fixed on Han Mo's thigh, and she madly calculated in her mind how high she should lift her leg to kick him hard and knock him out!
She tried to gather her strength. She tried and...
"Here she comes," Han Mo said, reaching out and pushing her, instantly ruining her little plan. She looked at him blankly and asked, "Who's coming?"
A faint smile curled up on Han Mo's lips. "Qi Meili," he replied.
She was her guardian angel.
In the distance, Qi Meili came strutting over, humming a song with her bright yellow hair standing out. "Poor little cabbage in the field is yellow. With a step - mother, you get a step - father. Miser! Only gives me three yuan. Can't afford a bowl of spicy hotpot..."
Her current look was extremely terrifying. Her golden hair was permed into a huge mess, her eyes were outlined with thick, all - around black eyeliner, and there were a dozen chains hanging around her neck. You could knock someone out with just one of them.
Han Mo pushed He Huanhuan towards her. "Find her. She can help you get revenge," he said.
He Huanhuan was a bit scared. "But she looks even less like a good person!"
However, Han Mo didn't give her a chance to back out. He firmly led her to stand in front of Qi Meili.
Qi Meili glanced at He Huanhuan first, with disdain in her eyes. "Kid, get out of the way if you don't want to get beaten up."
Then her gaze shifted upwards to Han Mo. "Oh! A handsome old guy!"
...
Qi Meili was only fourteen or fifteen at this time, so to her, Han Mo was indeed a middle - aged uncle.
Han Mo got straight to the point. "Do you want to eat spicy hotpot?"
Qi Meili nodded without hesitation. "Yes! I haven't eaten all day. I'm starving!"
Han Mo took off his watch and handed it to her. "I'll treat you to spicy hotpot for a year if you help me with something."
Qi Meili looked at the watch. "Is it 4:30 pm?"
...
She didn't even recognize the Patek Philippe watch. She thought Han Mo was asking her to tell the time.
This time when he entered the dream, he didn't have his phone on him, only the watch he was wearing. It had come to this place with him.
Across the spicy hotpot restaurant was an old - fashioned shopping mall, and beside the mall was a small - fronted luxury goods and gold recycling store.
Han Mo pointed to the storefront and told Qi Meili, "This watch is very valuable. If you sell it second - hand, it can at least pay for your spicy hotpot for a year. Do you want it?"
Qi Meili frowned. "What do you want to do?"
She felt like he had something up his sleeve.
A year's worth of spicy hotpot was like a dream life!
Was he really just giving it to her?
Could he have done something wrong and wanted her to take the blame and go to jail?
Han Mo pushed He Huanhuan in front of her. "She was bullied. You help her get her dignity back."
Qi Meili didn't believe it. "Just this?"
Han Mo nodded. "Just this."
Qi Meili didn't really trust him, but her stomach was growling and her mouth was watering for spicy hotpot. So she followed him to the recycling store half - believingly.
The store owner was a greedy guy. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no competitors in this small place, he managed to price the watch, which was originally bought for over five hundred thousand yuan, down to fifteen thousand.
Han Mo was worried that the dream might end at any moment, so he didn't bother to bargain with the owner. He just asked him to pay in cash quickly.
After getting the money, he immediately took out a stack and gave it to Qi Meili. "Here."
Qi Meili was shocked. "Oh my god! It's really money!"
Then he stuffed the rest of the money into He Huanhuan's hands. "Hide it and spend it. Don't let your dad find out, or he'll steal it."
He Huanhuan looked at the money in her hand, a bit dazed. "Why are you being so nice to me? We don't even know each other!"
Han Mo wanted to reach out and touch her, but suddenly he felt his body lighten.
He quickly turned to Qi Meili and sternly told her, "You took the money. You must help her get revenge. Do you hear me?"
Qi Meili was counting the money one by one. One, two, three, four...
Damn it! She couldn't count them all!
She was rich!
Hahaha!
Beat someone up? Hahaha! It's a piece of cake!
She continued counting. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Han Mo felt his body getting lighter. He quickly leaned over to He Huanhuan's ear and whispered, "You should follow her from now on. She'll protect you."
He Huanhuan blinked, looking a bit scared. "What if she doesn't want to?"
"Then just keep following her. After a while, she'll get used to it."
