Chapter 691: Once you send someone away, they won’t come back (45)
Seeing Liang Huaixin's hesitation, Meng A Luo did not urge him, but let him make his own decision.
She stood quietly by and waited, her eyes calm and gentle.
After a while, Liang Huaixin finally seemed to have made up his mind and slowly took out some property from his pocket.
Although the amount of property was not large, it was obvious that he handed it over after careful consideration.
After Meng A Luo took the things, he turned and walked out the door.
However, before she had taken a few steps, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the silent air.
After the fight, Meng A Luo cursed himself in his heart: How stupid! How could I have thought of pitying this person just now?
This Liang Huaixin didn't trust her completely at all. She was just his only choice when he had nowhere else to turn! Haha...
Thinking of this, Meng A Luo couldn't help but smile at himself, and a feeling of bitterness and helplessness surged in his heart.
But this emotion did not last long, and soon her attention was attracted by the property in her hands.
A smile gradually emerged on Meng A Luo's face. She squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the thing in her hand, muttering to herself: "People may betray my sincerity, but money will never! Only it is the most reliable."
Maintaining this joy, Meng A Luo walked briskly towards the pawnshop he often went to.
As soon as she entered the store, the shop assistant spotted her and immediately came up to her with a big smile on his face and said hello: "Hey, Miss Meng, what good things do you want to pawn today?"
Meng A Luo smiled slightly, shook the package in his hand, and said playfully: "Of course there are things, but... this time you have to give a good price!"
As she spoke, she placed the package on the counter and gently untied the string that tied it.
When the guy opened the package, his eyes widened immediately. Although the property was not huge, it was still quite valuable.
The waiter carefully looked at Meng A Luo and shouted to the back, "Boss, come and take a look."
The shopkeeper came hurriedly, took a look at the property, and was secretly happy but did not show it.
"Miss Meng, although your item is good, the risk is too great, so I can only give you this price." The shopkeeper held up three fingers.
Meng A Luo's expression did not change, he just said calmly: "Boss, we are old acquaintances. You know what I do, and I also know what you can do. There is no need for us to do this!
I have more than just this thing, and I will ask the shopkeeper for help later, after all, I need a pass to go anywhere!"
"You left Yuening City?" The shopkeeper seemed unconvinced, "Miss Meng, you want to..."
"Yes! After I finish this job, I will go home!" In fact, Meng A Luo is an orphan and has no home at all, but she is very optimistic. "So, shopkeeper, don't lower my price. You can make money but don't be too ruthless!"
"Okay!" The shopkeeper didn't say anything else and gave Meng A Luo a satisfactory price.
Of course Meng A Luo would not bring all the money back to Liang Huaixin. She always hid a part of it and then squeezed money from the other party bit by bit.
In just one month, Liang Huaixin had reached the point where he needed to use the key to the private vault.
However, Liang Huaixin was very persistent this time. He gritted his teeth and refused to open the private vault left by his grandmother in the money house.
Meng A Luo suddenly had an idea, and after a few days, he said to Liang Huaixin with joy: "My dear, good news, the Liang family seems to be quiet. I used my own money to buy a pass. This time we will take the property and leave Yuening City directly. We will come back later."
"Really?" Liang Huaixin was surprised. "Okay, okay, let's go to the private vault tomorrow to get the things."
After saying this, he pretended to be curious and asked Meng A Luo: "A Luo, can you let me see the pass? I have never seen what it looks like!"
"Okay!" Meng A Luo smiled and handed over two passes. "My dear, take a look at this pass. It allows us to go to the next city."
"Hmm!" Liang Huaixin rubbed his hand a few times with a smile, and then "returned" it to Meng A Luo.
In the evening, the two of them drank happily. They were both drunk and then fell into a deep sleep.
"A Luo, wake up!" Liang Huaixin pushed Meng A Luo, and seeing that she didn't wake up, he took out the pass from her arms.
After secretly folding a piece of white paper, he put it into the envelope where the pass was placed, and stuffed it back into Meng A Luo's arms, with a guilty look on his face: "A Luo, I'm sorry, I can't go with you. The two of us will be too conspicuous, so you should stay in Yuening City and wait for me to come back!"
After saying that, he walked out of the inn without looking back. Of course, Liang Huaixin was still wearing a bamboo hat that he had asked the waiter to buy for him.
Liang Huaixin had a good idea. He tampered with the wine so that Meng A Luo would not wake up until the next night.
Find another inn to stay in first, and then hire a carriage to go to the bank to pick up your things tomorrow morning and leave the city directly.
Just act according to Meng A Luo's plan, except don't take her with you anymore.
