Chapter 3: Preparations Before the End (I)
Lou Lan opened the address book on her mobile phone, and there were only three contacts in it, which were labeled: Teacher Jiang, Lawyer Bai, and Old Man.
She used to be withdrawn, with very few friends, unless necessary, she rarely made phone contact with people she had known for a short time, and people like Tongle who often contacted her were generally directly memorized phone numbers, so there were only three contacts saved in her mobile phone for many years.
But none of this matters, in the last days, mobile phones are a portable means of communication that are of no use at all, and they are not as valuable as a loaf of bread of the same volume.
Pressing the contact marked "old man", Lou Lan cleared her throat and waited for the call to connect.
"Dut...... Honk...... Honk...... Your call is busy, please wait for ......"
Without waiting for the electronic female voice to finish speaking, Lou Lan hung up directly, and then clicked to dial again. This time, she didn't put it in her ears, so she turned on the hands-free and put it next to the computer desk, while watching the video, she paid attention to the phone, and as soon as there was a busy signal, she hung up and started again.
This is the other party's business machine, Lou Lan is sure that Yaya will not dare to turn it off, now it depends on who can consume whom.
After almost half an hour, Lou Lan's movements became mechanical, and after five consecutive "beeps", she wanted to press the hang-up.
But this time her hand stopped in mid-air.
Because this time, the call went through......
"Hey, is it Xiaolan, what's the matter at such a late hour?" The first voice on the other end of the phone was a very gentle-sounding woman's voice.
In the face of such a gentle female voice, Lou Lan just sneered, she glanced at the time in the lower left corner of the computer, 8:10, it was really "late".
was full of ridicule in her heart, but her mouth was still in her usual tone, and asked, "Aunt Song, where is my father?" β
"Your dad just went to sleep, Xiaolan, if you have something to call tomorrow, okay?" The female voice on the other end of the phone was as gentle as ever.
It was exactly the same as the tone when she sold Lou Lan to those people in her "previous life", and she said so gently at that time: "Xiaolan, you stay here first, and Auntie and your father will come to see you in a few days, okay?" β
Then he completely ignored the scene of Lou Lan being escorted to the dissection table after being knocked unconscious, and left there directly with the materials and Lou's father in exchange.
Thinking of this, Lou Lan squeezed the phone in her hand, suppressed her anger, and said quickly while the other party was still hanging up the phone: "Let my dad answer the phone, otherwise I will contact Lawyer Bai now, and ask him to go to your company tomorrow and have a good chat with you about my mother's inheritance." β
Lou Lan's mother Bai Qingmei is a real rich lady, but unfortunately Bai's father and mother died early, and she died when Lou Lan was very young because of a car accident, leaving only a large inheritance, which will be inherited after Lou Lan reaches the age of eighteen.
But in the "previous life", Lou Lan still trusted her father, so she did not directly inherit her mother's property after she was eighteen years old, so the last inheritance fell into the hands of Lou's father, who was eager to expand the scale of the company, and now I think that this money should be almost spent.
As for Lawyer Bai, he was a friend of Lou's mother before his death, and he couldn't look down on Lou's father's private inheritance, but this belonged to other people's family affairs, and he was still willing to fight and suffer, so he didn't care too much, but he also had a long-standing grudge in his heart, so if he could go to Lou's father's company to find some trouble, he was also very happy.
Lou Lan expected that her "father" would not dare to talk to her directly through the law, so this sentence was fearless.
And the result was indeed as she expected, the voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then rang again, but this time it was a man's voice, different from the woman's pretense, and the man asked directly angrily: "What's the matter, just say it." β
The thick resentment and viciousness in the words can really be clearly felt on the other end of the phone. But in the face of such an attitude, Lou Lan only smiled shallowly, and said with a rare good temper: "It's nothing important, it's just that I don't have any money." β
"How much? Is a thousand enough? β
"One thousand, are you calling Hanako?" Lou Lan also mocked mercilessly: "I want 10W!" β
A woman's scream rang on the other end of the phone, and Lou's father also yelled: "10W, impossible, don't even think about it." β
"I'm not in a hurry." Lou Lan deliberately laughed loudly so that the person on the other end of the phone could hear it, and said slowly: "I'll call Uncle Bai later, we can meet face to face tomorrow!" Slow! Somewhat! β
Silence began on the other end of the line again.
Lou Lan opened a bag of potato chips for a long time, she was really not in a hurry now.
After a while, the voice on the other end of the phone finally rang again, it was the woman who was called Aunt Song by Lou Lan before, she said: "Xiaolan, your father has a bad temper, Auntie has already said him, I will call you the money later, but you are still young, why do you suddenly ask for so much money?" β
"It's not bothering Aunt Song, you should give my dad more conditioning and conditioning if you have time, he is not too young, I'm afraid he can't bear your young energy." After Lou Lan finished taunting, she didn't listen to the other party at all, and hung up the phone directly.
If it weren't for the need for a large sum of money to prepare for the end times, she wouldn't have made this call at all, which is really disgusting.
"In the previous life" not long after the death of Lou Lan's mother, Lou's father married this woman who was almost two wheels younger than him, but Lou Lan at that time was still naΓ―ve and deceived by Lou's father and this woman, and protected them with his ability after the end of the world.
Until they were sold to those people together, and they sent them to the dissection table with their own hands.
Lou Lan covered her eyes with one hand, feeling that her eyes were suddenly a little sore, since the phone call just now, she has no relatives in this world.
"Meow~"
A soft cat meow, followed by a warm licking of the left hand. When she opened her eyes, Amber looked at her quietly and obediently, her green pupils clearly reflecting her appearance.
"yes, I still have you." Lou Lan scratched Amber's chin, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Amber's eyes narrowed comfortably.
"Meow~" Amber screamed again, as if to affirm her statement.
In a slightly better mood, Lou Lan cheered up, took out a pen and paper and began to calculate the list of things she would buy when she went out tomorrow.
And this calculation took almost two hours.
During this period, the mobile phone rang to remind the bank to remind that there was a remittance of 10W yuan into the card.
Lou Lan only smiled when she saw it, in fact, she didn't care much about money, after the end of the world, that money would become a pile of waste paper, which is why she only asked for 10W, and did not directly cooperate with Lawyer Bai to take back the inheritance.
It takes a lot of time to reclaim the inheritance, and the most she lacks right now is time!
