Chapter 16: Alliances
The ice cream shop was just around the corner a short turn left from the school entrance, and they didn't have to walk long to get there. In addition to ice cream, there are also light meals such as burgers, chicken wings, and fries.
Huang Jiaying ordered four burgers, four chicken wings and the store's best-selling animal-shaped ice cream. Yashi and Huang Jiaying chose the rabbit pattern, Liu Xuchen chose the frog pattern, and Guo Xiaoyang chose the pig pattern.
Esther looked at the ice cream, then at him, and couldn't help but smile. This little pig's cute appearance is similar to Guo Xiaoyang.
The three of them were all happily eating, but Liu Xuchen was sullen all the time, as if the food in front of him was not attractive to him.
An ice cream was served, and Estie asked him what was wrong. Liu Xuchen didn't want to say it at first, then glanced at Huang Jiaying, and whispered that he would tell her and Guo Xiaoyang later.
Yashi expected that it had something to do with Lui Zhigang, so she avoided Huang Jiaying.
Seeing the two of them muttering secretly, Huang Jiaying was curious: "Yashi, what are you talking about?" β
Thinking of Huang Jiaying's timidity, Yashi didn't want to tell her, so she teased her: "We are talking about a very scary thing, telling you that you are afraid that you will cry!" β
Huang Jiaying asked casually, but she didn't expect Yashi to look down on her so much, and the surging curiosity overcame the sense of fear, so she had to tell her.
Helplessly, Yashi told her the secrets she had shared with Guo Xiaoyang and Liu Xuchen, and told her that she must keep it secret and not tell anyone.
"What, you're back in time five years? You came back to save your dad? Huang Jiaying looked around, forcing herself not to cry out out of excitement.
She usually likes to read some online novels, and she is very curious about this kind of thing, but she doesn't feel afraid. Especially after learning that Esther came back to rescue her father, who had died saving people, a sense of mission arose. She felt that Estie had helped her many times, that they were already good friends, and that it was her duty to join the small team that rescued Estie's father.
Before Yashi answered, Guo Xiaoyang and Liu Xuchen nodded affirmatively together to prove it for Yashi.
"Yashi, count me in, I'll help you save your father!" Huang Jiaying has always hated her cowardice and admired Yashi's chivalry. This time, she also wants to be chivalrous once and help her good friend.
"You help Yashi? Huang Jiaying, our actions are dangerous, are you sure you won't be scared to tears? For this delicate female classmate, Guo Xiaoyang looked distrustful and disdainful.
"I'm sure! I'm going to have to help Yashi! Huang Jiaying straightened up, raised her head, and assured with a sense of ceremony.
Although Yashi was also a little skeptical of Huang Jiaying's guts, she was very moved to think that she had no doubt about what she said. After all, even her parents couldn't believe it when they heard her say that she had traveled back five years later. And Huang Jiaying actually believed her 100%.
With this touch, Yashi ignored Guo Xiaoyang's doubts and said: "Jiaying, if you are not afraid, I welcome you to join!" β
"Sister Poetry......" Guo Xiaoyang couldn't believe that Yashi agreed so happily, and Liu Xuchen also looked at Yashi, as if he wanted to say something.
But to them, EstΓ©e is like their spiritual leader. Now that she agreed, they couldn't refute it. I could only reluctantly accept this teammate, this pig teammate they felt might be holding back.
Seeing that Yashi agreed, Huang Jiaying was happy and ordered an ice cream for each of them. After a meal, her three hundred quick money was basically spent, and only a few yuan were left.
"Liu Xuchen, Jiaying is no longer an outsider, you don't have to carry her on your back. Look at your sad face, what's wrong? As soon as she came out of the ice cream parlor, Esther asked.
Liu Xuchen frowned, and seemed to have made a lot of effort before he replied: "Yashi, my father asked the secretary to contact Lu Zhigang and said that he would give him the operation fee, but it was just ......."
"Just what?" Yashi is a quick temper, and when she saw Liu Xuchen spitting out, she couldn't wait.
"It's just my family...... Now I don't have that much cash, so I have to wait a few days. Liu Xuchen finished speaking, as if he was relieved.
Hearing him say this, Yashi was anxious, lest something happen in the past few days. But she saw that Liu Xuchen wanted to save face, and even if she urged him, it was useless, so she had to comfort: "Hey, what should I do!" Who can take out hundreds of thousands at once! Wait a few days, just wait a few days! β
Yashi's attitude was beyond Liu Xuchen's expectations, he thought that she would blame him and his father, but he didn't think that she didn't mind, but comforted him.
A wave of emotion came to his heart, and his eyes widened and he assured Yashi: "Don't worry, Yashi, I will definitely ask my dad to give him the operation fee quickly!" β
"Lu Zhigang knew that your father was going to help him, didn't he say anything?" EstΓ©e suddenly thought of this question.
"Listening to my dad's secretary, he seemed a little incredulous. My dad said that he had caused trouble on the construction site, and he didn't believe that the boss not only didn't blame him, but also helped him like this. However, my father first asked the secretary to give him 50,000 yuan, and said that he would give him the rest in a few days, and he believed it. Liu Xuchen told Yashi everything he knew.
"Wow, Liu Xuchen, your dad is such a big hero! I was willing to spend so much money! Huang Jiaying, who was on the side, sighed with admiration.
Before Huang Jiaying's words fell, Guo Xiaoyang retorted: "His father is not a big hero, his father is a big tyrant!" My Uncle Kim is the hero! The bad guys can be scared when they hear my Uncle Kim's name! β
Guo Xiaoyang kept his head held high when he spoke, and he didn't look like a sycophant at all, and he looked very sincere.
Liu Xuchen was not angry, and echoed: "You're right, Uncle Jin is the big hero!" β
Listening to his friends praise his father like this, Yashi was very useful. A beautiful goose egg face is also dyed with a faint flush of excitement, which looks both playful and cute.
After school in the afternoon, her mother came to pick her up, and Yashi relayed what Liu Xuchen told her to her mother. Like Yashi, Zhao Wenfang is also a little worried, for fear that something will happen in the past few days.
When the mother and daughter were talking, they happened to see Liu Haichang's driver coming to pick up Liu Xuchen. Yashi persuaded her mother: "Mom, Liu Xuchen and his father's driver will come to pick him up every day after school, I heard Liu Xuchen say that his father's driver is not only a driver, but also a bodyguard!" Awesome! Liu Xuchen is safe. β
Listening to what her daughter said, Zhao Wenfang nodded with a smile and started the car.
Yashi sat in the co-pilot's seat and told her mother about what happened at school one day, but she didn't dare to say that Huang Jiaying invited them to eat ice cream. When she was a child, she had a bad stomach, and her mother never let her eat raw and cold food.
In Ward 1216 of Beijing Central Hospital, Lu Zhigang was sitting in front of his wife's bed, with 50,000 yuan sent by Liu Haichang in his hand.
He didn't expect Liu Haichang to help him, and gradually dispelled the idea of exchanging Liu Xuchen for money. But even with the 50,000 yuan, there is still a big gap in his wife's surgery fees, and he doesn't know if Liu Haichang will continue to give him money. For a while, I ran out of ideas.
