Chapter 629: Conspiracy (3)
“Then why have you been so absent-minded all day?” asked Zuo Weiyi.
Knowing that she couldn’t hide it from her, Xiao Cui couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
If she told the truth to Madam, then Xiao Song would have to work for the rest of his life…
Thinking of this, Xiao Cui’s eyes started to turn red.
She lowered her head, and a teardrop fell out of her eyes.
Zuo Weiyi instantly knew that Xiao Song’s matter had definitely not been resolved!
“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll get s.h.i.+ Yuting to investigate,” Zuo Weiyi switched to goading her.
This move was indeed effective.
Xiao Cui looked at her anxiously. “Don’t! I, I…”
Panicked and helpless, Xiao Cui finally opened her mouth, but she still averted her gaze.
“It’s just that… Xiao Song’s matter has caused the trouble to the client. The hotel manager he works for wants him to compensate some damages, so…”
“How much?”
Xiao Cui raised her head. She had never met such a kind-hearted master.
“10,000 yuan.” She casually said a number so that Zuo Weiyi would believe her.
Because if she said too little, she would obviously not believe her.
After all, with her and Xiao Song’s jobs, even though their salaries were not very high, they could still afford a few hundred or a few thousand yuan.
Of course, 10,000 yuan was not that difficult.
“Because some time ago, Xiao Song bought a house in the suburbs. Every month, he has to pay the mortgage. And last year, I bought a car, so this 10,000 yuan—”
“Wait here.” Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Weiyi had already gone upstairs.
Even though she had quite a few cards, she didn’t actually know how much each of them contained or what their limits were. So, she could not directly hand them over to Xiao Cui.
She went to the study room and gently opened the door a crack.
Through the crack, she saw s.h.i.+ Yuting working at his desk. Since he was going to fly to C Country tomorrow, he had been handling some important doc.u.ments and merger cases for the Supreme Emperor.
She hesitated whether she should interrupt him. As she was thinking, she saw s.h.i.+ Yuting looking up and staring straight at her.
She paused and remained silent for a few seconds before she opened the door completely and walked into the study room.
Seeing her, s.h.i.+ Yuting stretched out his hand and motioned for her to come over.
Zuo Weiyi walked over and placed her hand in his warm palm.
s.h.i.+ Yuting took advantage of the situation and let her sit on his thigh. His eyes looked at her lovingly. “What’s wrong?”
His low, charming, and gentle voice rang in her ears, like the heavenly voice of the world—it was a pleasant pleasure to listen to.
Zuo Weiyi thought for a moment, then raised looked up to meet his deep eyes. “Um, do you have money?”
s.h.i.+ Yuting raised his eyebrows slightly. “Do you think I have money?”
Zuo Weiyi was stunned for half a second before she reacted.
“No, in cash… 10,000 yuan. Do you have it?”
s.h.i.+ Yuting frowned slightly. “Cash? What do you need this cash for?”
“Don’t worry about it for now. Just tell me if you have it or not.” She started acting coy. It was hard for s.h.i.+ Yuting not to spoil her.
Zuo Weiyi was not worried about taking too much of his money, because every time he went out, he didn’t seem to have any trouble or hesitation swiping his card.
s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at her, then immediately took out his wallet from his suit jacket and handed her the money.
