Chapter 146 - Take me
Chapter 146: Take me
Qin Yiyi looked at Fang Jianwei, who was anxious and wanted to snatch the money from her, and raised her eyebrows.
“Uncle, why did you borrow so much money?”
“Why are you so talkative? If I borrow some money from you, give it to me quickly. I’ll return it to you when I have it later.”
After a pause, Fang Jianwei probably felt that his tone was a little anxious.
He scratched his head and explained hesitantly, “Uncle has met a friend. He has something that he wants to sell. Uncle has found someone to look at it. It’s worth this amount!”
He stretched out a hand towards Qin Yiyi.
After shaking it twice, his voice was filled with pride. “As long as uncle takes that thing down, I can earn this much just by flipping it.”
“When the time comes, uncle will calculate the interest for you.”
Qin Yiyi glanced at him, and her voice was filled with curiosity.
“Uncle, are you saying that you can earn 500,000 just by flipping it? I wonder what treasure it is?”
Fang Jianwei’s face was filled with disdain. “What 500,000? It’s five million!”
He looked at Qin Yiyi’s slightly furrowed brows and smiled mysteriously, “Niece, let me tell you. There’s a country bumpkin who doesn’t know what’s good for him. It’s a treasure passed down in his family. I casually duped him a few times and he agreed to sell it. But that person seemed to be in urgent need of money and insisted that I give him cash immediately. He also said that he wanted me to gather all the money within two hours or else he would hand it over to another person. I didn’t dare to take it from your grandparents. Yiyi, didn’t you get rich recently? Lend uncle some money for a few days, huh?”
“Uncle, are you so sure that the item is real?”
“Of course it’s real.”
Fang Jianwei glared at Qin Yiyi. “What? You don’t want to lend me money, so you say that I have poor taste and think that I’m getting a fake item?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Qin Yiyi glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said slowly, “Uncle, it’s not impossible for me to lend you money, but I have a condition.”
“Why are you so long-winded? Quickly tell me what condition you have.”
Fang Jianwei glared at Qin Yiyi. However, when he heard that Qin Yiyi was willing to lend him money…
He suppressed his dissatisfaction.
“Quickly tell me. Uncle is in a hurry.”
“I’ll go with you to take a look.”
When Fang Jianwei heard this, he wanted to stomp his feet.
“Why are you following me?”
“I say, smelly girl, don’t tell me you don’t want to lend me money and use this reason to deliberately anger me?”
“No.”
Qin Yiyi tilted her head and smiled innocently. “I’m just curious. Uncle, you said that you accepted such a treasure, but I’ve never seen such a valuable thing. Anyway, I only have one condition. Either you bring me there to take a look, and I’ll lend you money, or I’ll leave. By the way, weren’t you close to Qin Jiatong a while ago? You can borrow from her.”
Then, she waved at Fang Jianwei and was about to leave.
However, Fang Jianwei stopped her, “Alright, alright, just follow me. But when you get there, you have to listen to me. Otherwise, if you offend someone, I don’t care if they want to deal with you. Also, if you follow me, you have to lend me money. If you dare to stand me up again, I’ll deal with you later!”
Thinking back to the time he was coaxed by this wretched girl to stand in the wind and wait for the driver.
He had been swept in the wind for half a day!
He was angry!
Qin Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled gently. “What’s uncle saying? As long as Uncle brings me along, I’ll definitely lend you some money.”
She was afraid that her uncle wouldn’t accept it when the time came!
The two of them left the residential area and hailed a cab.
Qin Yiyi watched as the car headed straight for the outskirts of the city.
The further they went, the more deviant they became.
They had left the city almost half an hour ago, yet they were still heading outside.
She glanced at Fang Jianwei, who was in the passenger seat, urging the driver to hurry up from time to time. The corners of her mouth twitched.
This stupid uncle.
His brain must be filled with paste, right?
It took him so long to return to the city. They gave him two hours of turnaround time.
How could he believe it?!
They walked for another twenty minutes.
They stopped not far from an abandoned factory.
Fang Jianwei jumped out of the car and opened the door, looking at Qin Yiyi with disdain.
“Can you hurry up? Look, you had to follow me and waste time.”
He turned around and ran forward.
Qin Yiyi silently turned around and paid for the car. She said goodbye to the driver before slowly walking up.
The factory’s door was covered in rust.
A hoarse squeak sounded, which was unpleasant and jarring to the ears.
Qin Yiyi followed behind Fang Jianwei. As she walked inside, she asked while looking at the situation inside.
“Uncle, are you sure that person is really waiting for you here?”
“Of course.”
Fang Jianwei didn’t even turn his head when he said this. His tone was full of pride.
“The friends your uncle made are all the most trustworthy.”
“If they say they’ll wait here, then they’ll definitely wait here…”
As he said this, he slightly raised his voice and shouted towards the row of bungalows,
“Brother Liu! Brother Liu…”
“What are you shouting for? Over here.”
A bearded, fierce-looking brawny man pushed open the door of a bungalow on the far left and walked out.
His gaze passed Fang Jianwei and landed directly on Qin Yiyi.
“This girl is not bad. Old Fang, where did you get this? Play with me later.”
No matter how thick-skinned Fang Jianwei was, he was not thick-skinned enough for others to joke around with his niece. He couldn’t accept it calmly and glared at the other party, “What nonsense are you talking about? This is my niece. She followed me here because she was worried about me. Oh right, let me see the things. As usual, we have money and goods in one hand.” He turned around and glared at Qin Yiyi. “Follow behind me. Don’t wander around.” In his heart, he blamed Qin Yiyi. It would be troublesome if the little girl followed him out!
If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to let her follow him.
However, he did not take it to heart.
This was his friend. At most, he would just say a few words.
However, Qin Yiyi felt that this uncle of hers was really too stupid!
At such an old age, he was probably just a grown-up.
Had he completely forgotten about his head?
The other party’s eyes clearly did not have the slightest bit of kindness. Moreover, ever since he saw Qin Yiyi appear…
The wretched and malicious intent in his eyes flowed out like water.
This uncle of hers was really good.
He actually thought that the other party was a good person and even wanted Qin Yiyi to follow him into the room?
Forget it, since I’m already here, I’ll just follow him and take a look.
She deliberately pretended to be timid and followed behind Fang Jianwei, muttering in a low voice.
“Uncle, I think this place is quite scary. There aren’t many people here. Why don’t we go back?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up.”
Fang Jianwei glared at her, then grinned at the middle-aged man.
“This little girl is timid. Brother Liu, don’t be afraid. Let’s go and look at the goods.”
It was actually an antique jade pillow.
The other party placed it on the table and looked at Fang Jianwei nervously.
“You’ve already looked at it. You’ve also asked an expert to appraise it. Have you brought the money now? If you’ve brought it, it’s yours. I’ll take the money and leave.”
“I’ve brought it.”
Fang Jianwei directly stretched out his hand towards Qin Yiyi. “Give me the money.”
Qin Yiyi narrowed her eyes and smiled lightly.
“Uncle, why do I feel that this thing of yours is fake?”
“This little girl is spouting nonsense. Don’t spout nonsense!” Fang Jianwei’s face darkened, and he glared at her, as if warning her.
