Chapter 300 These Miss Jins are really hypocritical, they just want to gain a good reputation, bah!
Qian Duoduo was wearing a gorgeous dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on it, which was shining with a faint light. However, at this moment, her face showed anxiety and resentment, her brows were furrowed, her lips were slightly open, and she seemed to be trying hard to restrain her inner emotions.
She raised her foot roughly and kicked hard at the door of the private room. The movement was full of power, as if she wanted to vent all the worries and dissatisfaction in her heart.
With a bang, the door was pushed open with a dull sound, and Qian Duoduo walked in hurriedly.
Chu Mengting sat upright at the table, her face as cold as ice and her eyes stern. She snorted coldly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of contempt, and said coldly: "Miss Qian is so powerful! How can you be so presumptuous in this teahouse?" Her voice was cold and sharp, and she was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Qian Duoduo's rude behavior.
Qian Duoduo's eyes quickly scanned the entire room, finally stopping on Chu Mengting.
When she saw Chu Mengting, she was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Princess Mengting was there too. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then, she quickly bowed and said, "I greet Princess Mengting. I hope you will forgive me for my impoliteness just now." There was a hint of fear in her tone.
Chu Mengting snorted coldly!
Qian Duoduo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Her eyes flickered and she forced a smile. After two dry laughs, she said, "Princess Mengting, I lost my composure for a moment because I was extremely anxious because my father suddenly disappeared. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me." Although there was a hint of apology in her words, she actually didn't agree with it in her heart and even felt a little disapproving.
Chu Mengting changed the subject and went straight to the point: "Really? Your father is missing, and the government is investigating. But the servants in Miss Qian's mansion are wantonly overturning street vendors' stalls. How can this be justified?" There was a hint of questioning in her words, and it was obvious that she was extremely dissatisfied with the behavior of Qian Duoduo's mansion.
Qian Duoduo's face changed slightly, and he cursed in his heart, but he still managed to force a smile on his face. He turned around and kicked the servant next to him accurately on the leg, and said sternly: "You dog slave, why don't you go down and compensate those vendors!"
The servant felt pained, agreed repeatedly, and left in a hurry.
"It's all my fault. My father went missing and I was in a hurry, so I didn't control these slaves. That's why they became bolder." Qian Duoduo looked innocent, as if everything was the slaves' fault.
Seeing this, Chu Mengting curled up the corner of her mouth into a sneer, obviously not approving of Qian Duoduo's behavior.
She snorted, turned around, curled her lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip, not wanting to waste any more words with her.
If her cousin hadn't spoken just now and attracted people over, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this shrew.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo's gaze finally fell on Chu Zixi.
This woman has a graceful temperament and a pretty face. She sits side by side with Chu Mengting. I wonder what her identity is? Rich girls like them are always pretentious and look down on business girls like me.
Qian Duoduo thought secretly, since he could drink tea and chat with Princess Mengting, then this person must have a special relationship with Princess Mengting.
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo had to put away his previous arrogant attitude, and his tone of voice became a little gentler.
"Miss, I am Qian Duoduo, very grateful to you for telling me that you have news about my father. Don't worry, although our Qian family has encountered a lot of troubles recently, our family business is still there. As long as you can find my father, our Qian family will definitely repay you greatly." Qian Duoduo's words were full of sincerity and expectation.
The corners of Chu Zixi's mouth rose slightly, as if she was smiling but not smiling, and there was a glimmer of cunning in the depths of her eyes, as if hiding endless meaning.
She opened her red lips and whispered, "Oh? But I always like to get paid first before talking about other things."
When Qian Duoduo heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy and his brows furrowed.
She muttered to herself: "Aren't these rich girls all pretending to be noble and disdainful of money, fame and fortune? Why do they show their true colors at the critical moment!" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel contempt, and a trace of anger appeared on her face.
Chu Zixi was not affected by Qian Duoduo's expression. She still smiled, gently spread out her hands, and showed an innocent look in her eyes.
She said in a delicate voice: "Miss Qian, I have made my meaning very clear, don't you understand?"
Qian Duoduo's eyes widened, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Chu Zixi shrugged, sighed helplessly, and replied softly: "It means exactly what it says. Miss Qian is so smart, can she not understand this?"
Qian Duoduo took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to keep himself calm.
She reached into her bosom, fumbled for a moment, and took out a stack of silver bills, a total of five thousand taels, and then slammed it hard on the table.
She gritted her teeth, stared at Chu Zixi, and said word by word: "I only have five thousand taels of silver notes on me, but as long as you can find my father, the rest of the reward will be given to you without a cent less. Now, you should be satisfied, can you tell me how to find my father?"
Chu Zixi picked up the banknotes, turned to look at Yu Da who was standing beside her, and said calmly and forcefully: "Yu Da, change all the banknotes in your hand into copper coins, and quickly go to West Street to distribute them to the people who are suffering."
When Yu Da heard this, she bowed respectfully and took the banknote. With a low reply, Yu Da's figure quickly left the private room.
At this time, the sunlight outside the window gradually became brighter, but the temperature was still bitterly cold.
Although the weather was gradually getting warmer, the refugees from the North City still settled in West Street. They faced hunger, cold and hardship every day, and could only rely on the rice porridge donated by the government and the food that Chu Zixi had sent to them before to barely fill their stomachs.
This money may just be a drop in the bucket, but Chu Zixi firmly believes that this is the first step to help them overcome the difficulties.
Once she disposed of all the items in the space and exchanged them for enough silver, she would be able to rebuild homes for these disaster victims and provide better living conditions.
Qian Duoduo, who was standing by, witnessed this scene and unconsciously curled up a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
She murmured to herself, thinking that Chu Zixi's behavior was too naive and idealistic.
"I wonder which family this rich girl is from? She has such a broad mind and kindness!" She thought that using such a small amount of money to help so many disaster victims would not change anything at all. Humph! They were clearly using her money to pretend to do good deeds? These rich girls were really hypocritical, just wanting to gain a good reputation, ugh!
