Jing Rui giggled because of her tickling and kisses.
Zhao Anan stared at him in astonishment. “Oh my god, my nephew laughs so cutely. He knows what tickling means. He has grown so fast. I haven’t seen him for one week and he has grown heavier and has more hair from before.”
Shangguan Ning also showed a gentle expression as she looked at her son. She said with a bright smile, “Children grow fast. He is almost 100 days old and is becoming more aware of his surroundings.”
Every time Zhao Anan had Jing Rui in her arms, she would find it difficult to put him down. He was simply adorable. She did not have a strong affinity towards children until she met Jing Rui.
Maybe her perspective towards children had changed, or maybe because she was Jing Rui’s aunt.
After she teased Jing Rui for a short while, she put him back to the stroller and let him play on his own.
“Ning, lend me some money!” Zhao Anan felt a bit embarrassed to ask for a loan.
But there was no other way out.
Unexpectedly, however, Shangguan Ning, who was normally nice and easygoing, rejected her proposal immediately, “What are you planning to do? I do not have any money!”
Zhao Anan was dumbfounded. It took her a long while before she said with dissatisfaction, “Look at yourself! I am not a thief. I am just borrowing some money from you, don’t be stingy. I will give back double the amount.”
Shangguan Ning seemed to be moved, so she said hesitantly, “How… much do you need?”
In a nonchalant way, Zhao Anan said, “100,000 to start with!”
Shangguan Ning’s eyes widened as she said with an irritated tone, “What do you need this much money for? Are you planning to run away?! No, I do not have any money. You are not getting a single penny from me!”
Zhao Anan rolled her eyes and said in an exaggerating tone, “Running away? No way. My grandmother and mother will beat me to death. Don’t worry, I will never dare to run away ever again. Give me the money!”
Shangguan Ning was not going to give Zhao Anan that much money. She was afraid that Zhao Anan would buy a plane ticket and fly to somewhere unknown so that no one was able to find her.
She took out one note from her pocket and gave it to Zhao Anan. “Here is the money. I have got 10 yuan here.”
Zhao Anan lost her mind. She stared at the ten-yuan bill and shouted. “Shangguan Ning, are you giving alms to a beggar? Ten yuan is not even enough for a single taxi ride.”
“You can take the bus!”
“I…”
Zhao Anan turned speechless!
What a bad friend! She was way too stingy. She only gave her ten yuan when she asked for a loan. How shameless of her.
“Ten yuan is enough for ten bus rides, enough for you to travel around A City. But if you think of going somewhere else, then… you won’t be able to do it.”
Zhao Anan was speechless.
She really regretted having run away. She would never do it again. She had been imprisoned for half a year. Never again did she want to be some prisoner who was tortured to death even before the cancer broke out again.
Eyeing the ten yuan note, Zhao Anan could not utter even a single word. Why was this so tough?
She had to take one step back.
“What about 10,000 yuan? That is the lowest I can ask for.”

“I only have ten yuan!”
“Shangguan Ning, don’t be so ungrateful. I am your matchmaker, 5,000, please, no less than that alright?”
“Ten yuan is the only bill I can give to you!”
“Sister-in-law, please, give me 1,000 alright?”
“No, 1,000 is enough to buy a discounted plane ticket. What if you fly away? Then all the blame would be on me.”
Zhao Anan was completely defeated. This girl was so stingy that she did not even agree to 1,000 yuan. Her husband had properties worth more than 100 billion yuan!
“Honestly, can’t you give me some more? Ten yuan is not even enough for one bowl of noodles.”
Shangguan Ning hesitated for a second, grabbed one piece of red note from the pocket and passed it to her slowly, “Does this one work? One taxi ride and one bowl of noodles, maybe some sweets as well.”
Zhao Anan took the 110 yuan with tears in her eyes. She swore that she was definitely going to make tons of money and throw them all on Shangguan Ning’s face.
Zhao Anan took off immediately after that.
In order to save money, this lady of the Zhao Family rode the bus for the first time.
And it turned out to be a terrible experience for her.
She did not have any change.
But she had to pay when she got on the bus, because the driver was sizing her up with a weird look.
He seemed to be blaming her for being stingy not to toss the ten yuan inside – it was just nine yuan more. If she tossed it into the box, she would make a contribution to the national traffic department.
Zhao Anan flushed and turned pale again until she finally put the ten yuan into the box.
A grey-haired old grandma sitting on the special seats reminded Zhao Anan out of kindness. “Girl, do remember to bring change next time you take the bus.” The grandma must have been used to saving money.
“Oh… well… I… okay!” Zhao Anan was too embarrassed to utter any words.
Honestly, she was the lady of the Zhao Family, the heir of Zhao’s Jewelry. What was she doing with these small amounts when one of her tops cost more than 10,000 yuan?
This was so humiliating!
But she truly was out of money right now.
The grandma thought that she was concerned about the nine extra yuan she spent, so she gave her a tip. “It is fine, you can stand at the door and when the other passengers are getting on the bus, you can ask them to give you the money, nine of them!”
“Aha?”
Zhao Anan turned to the driver and asked hopefully, “Uncle, will this work?”
Uncle nodded with hesitation, “Alright, do it in this way if you want!”
Ignoring how the others looked at her, she guarded at the door, acting as the conductor.
Soon, Zhao Anan gathered her nine yuan, and was about to sit down when a voice said, “Welcome to Bus 222, the next stop is No.2 High School of A City, please be prepared to get off!”
Zhao Anan got confused – which stop was she getting off?
She got confused for a minute and turned to the driver. “Uncle, which stop should I get off if I want to go to Zhao’s Jewelry?”
