The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 897 Sports Day (2)
Chapter 897: Chapter 897 Sports Day (2)
Ruan Jiaojiao was overjoyed planting with Xiu Xi, staying busy until noon. She even had lunch at her second uncle from the Ruanlin Family next door and spent the afternoon playing with her brothers in the countryside. She was in no rush to go back to town until Jianguo came by car to pick her up in the evening.
Meanwhile, those in the town who had waited all day for Ruan Jiaojiao and her companion to leave the house on their motorcycle were starting to question their life choices.
"Young Master Duan, that old lady wouldn’t be framing us, would she?" Nie Xiaowu had waited all day without seeing the Ruan Family leave the house and was starting to doubt everything, turning his head to ask the person next to him.
The man called Young Master Duan was leaning against his motorcycle, playing with the cigarette in his hand without a word. They only knew that the Ruan Family had moved to the duplex houses in the west of the town, which consisted of only two buildings and six households. Logically, they should have been easy to find, but they had been on the lookout all day and hadn’t seen a ghost!
"Young Master Duan, are you really willing to spend 70,000 to buy that car?" Nie Xiaowu still found it hard to believe, because at the car dealership, they had initially agreed to seal the deal for 20,000 at most. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was willing to spend 70,000, and he couldn’t really grasp the reasoning behind it.
Moreover, in his memory, Duan Shaowei was never the type to suffer a loss. He was extremely stingy, so how could he be willing to spend 70,000 on a car? It was strange indeed.
Duan Shaowei did not answer.
His eyes flickered with ambiguous significance.
Of course, he was not the type to let himself be on the losing side. The reason he was willing to pay a high price was because he had discovered something even more profitable.
The Duan Family ruled supreme in this area, but in a place like Beidu, theirs was just a minor branch of the larger Duan Family.
Compared to that member of the Duan Family, what were they? This 70,000 was peanuts.
If things really went as he had in mind, bringing that boy back with him, how much money would that make? A mere 70,000 was nothing.
Duan Shaowei kicked Nie Xiaowu in the leg and said coldly, "Quit your yapping! It’s none of your business what I do."
Nie Xiaowu hurriedly nodded, not wanting to upset his boss and did not ask any further questions. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
By Sunday, Duan Shaowei had learned from the past two days’ experiences and didn’t come to the western part of town early in the morning. Instead, he went to Xiahe Village and sought out Mother Wu to find out what was going on.
Mother Wu had already learned about their affairs from the Ruanlin Family and had become even more disdainful towards the two of them. Naturally, she was unwilling to say anything, which frustrated them greatly. Unfortunately, they couldn’t do anything about it, so they eventually split up—one watched outside the building while the other kept an eye on the entrance to the street in the western part of town.
Unfortunately, they failed to catch the Ruan Family again, because Ruan Jiaojiao and the others had gone to the city early in the morning and didn’t return until it was dark... It was another perfectly missed day.
Monday was the school sports day.
Ruan Jiaojiao got up early. Although there were no classes today, she still had to go to school early for the assembly. When she passed by the baozi stall, she paused, remembering Little Fatty’s five pounds of meat, but unlike usual, she did not approach.
The baozi seller saw her and immediately greeted with a smile, "Little girl, you’re here for ten baozis again, aren’t you?"
Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head somewhat embarrassedly, "Auntie, not today. My brother has put on five pounds, so the family won’t let him eat any more."
"What?" The auntie was astonished. Could eating her baozis really make someone gain five pounds all at once?
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t say much more, fearing she was running out of time. She grabbed Xiu Xi and continued walking forward, but she barely took two steps before a motorcycle suddenly came out from the front, startling her.
