Chapter 31 Almost Drove
Jiang Guier crossed her arms and raised her eyes slightly. She wanted to hear what all this fuss was for.

Lin Wan looked in the mirror, washed off the thick mud mask from her face, gently patted her cheeks with her fingertips, and then took a new face mask from the dressing table and applied it.

The cool essence made her raise an eyebrow slightly, and she walked briskly out of the bathroom in her slippers.

She's about to scold someone!
As soon as I turned into the living room, I saw Jiang Guier curled up on the sofa playing on her phone. She looked relaxed and lazy, like a kitten basking in the afternoon sun.

Haha! I don't care at all!

What an attitude!

Lin Wan was angry, her arms crossed over her chest with a nonchalant tension, her knuckles tapping lightly on her arms as she moved her fingers.

A small blister bulged where the mask wasn't properly attached, and it trembled as she raised her eyebrows. Her gaze, like a scanner, was fixed on Jiang Guier, sweeping back and forth across her.

"What are you doing?" With such a big person standing in front of her, it was hard for Jiang Guier not to notice him, especially since he was also looking menacing.

She slightly bent her knees, assuming a defensive posture.

Lin Wan's gaze held a mixture of scrutiny, provocation, helplessness, and anger. "What's wrong with you?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Jiang Guier's mind: Who is asking whom?

She gently placed the phone on her lap, sat up straight, and adopted a proper posture. "Lin Xiaowan, didn't you tell me to wait? Why are you the one interrogating me? And what's with your eyes? They're just like my mother's."

Everyone says that a nephew resembles his uncle, but I've never heard of one resembling his aunt, especially his ex-aunt.

Lin Wan stomped her foot, pressed her hand on her arm, her hand itching to punch someone.

She paused in her movements, noticing that Jiang Guier still looked completely bewildered.

She suddenly leaned forward, put her hands on her hips, and her voice was almost overflowing with dissatisfaction, "Hey Gui Gui, don't you have a heart?"

Jiang Guier blinked. "Me? What's wrong?"

She still didn't understand.

Can we please stop playing this "guess, guess, guess" game?

"Just say what you have to say. What are you hiding from me? I was only out for a meal, and you've changed so much?"

"Shen Huaizhou!" Lin Wan took a deep breath, emphasized her words, and poked the air with her fingertip.

"What?" Jiang Guier raised her eyebrows this time. Why did she suddenly bring him up?

"Do you still remember this person?" Lin Wan almost laughed in exasperation when she saw Jiang Guier's bewildered expression.

Jiang Guier pressed down on her lips and rolled her eyes. "Why do you bring him up for no reason? That difficult man."

While saying this, I had some different thoughts in my heart.

"Jiang Guier, you have ruined my reputation."

Lin Wan was so angry that she jumped up and down. She pounced on Jiang Guier and grabbed her by the neck. "Why would I mention him for no reason? There must be something wrong, something big."

Jiang Guier blocked Lin Wan from lunging at her with both hands, coaxing her, "What's the big deal? Tell me, he bullied you, and then you can scold him."

It was driving me crazy!
“His cousin just called me, and his tone was sarcastic and sarcastic. Tell me honestly, did you not give him the money?”

"Give me money?" Jiang Guier didn't react immediately. "Why?"

Lin Wan's pupils dilated instantly. She leaned forward, her face mask slipping down to reveal a sliver of her nose, her eyes filled with almost tangible doubt. "Seriously? You're planning to skip out on the bill?"

"Ahhh!" Jiang Guier screamed, realizing what had happened. "Lin Xiaowan, it's my fault. I thought you gave the money, and then Qian Xin contacted you."

She clasped her hands together, pleading, "Good sister, I'm sorry. How much was it again? I'll transfer it to him right away. I absolutely can't let my good sister's reputation be ruined by this." "Oh, so you know you have to give money. Just transfer him ten or twenty thousand." Lin Wan was so angry she laughed, and she leaned on Jiang Guier.

As she spoke, the face mask on her face was about to fall off. Just as she was about to reach out and press it down, it suddenly snapped.

The face mask fell off.

It landed directly on Jiang Guier's face.

"Wow, you really don't waste a single bit."

“It’s a waste to give you this. This face mask costs over 200 yuan.” Lin Wan said, taking the face mask off Jiang Gui’er’s face and putting it back on.

Seeing her frugal and stingy nature, Jiang Guier wanted to complain, but in the end, it all turned into a few breathy words.

Lin Wan glared at her, rolled off her, lay down beside her, and nestled in the sofa in the same position.

"I won't cancel the order, it's just a small program problem with the connection." As Jiang Guier swiped her phone screen, she found Shen Huaizhou's WeChat, and suddenly an unread message popped up in her eyes.

It was sent by Shen Huaizhou, with the timestamp showing it was sent 3 days ago. His tone was polite but almost distant: "If it's convenient, could you settle the repair payment?"
It turns out he had contacted me.

She stared at the words, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the screen.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and come back," Lin Wan urged from the side.

"How come you're even more demanding of debts than him?" Jiang Guier pouted, her lips turning down. Well, she couldn't really say anything, since she was the one who hadn't paid.

But being chased for money is never a good feeling.

She confirmed that she received that one message. Normally, if the other party doesn't reply, she could send another message, just in case they didn't see it.
Having to go through a third party to urge them feels like being torn apart, revealing the embarrassment beneath the facade of dignity.

But this is a misunderstanding.

Jiang Guier sighed. She opened the transfer interface, her finger hovering over the confirmation button as she entered the amount, then paused. The screen light reflected in her eyes, flickering on and off.

No!

I can't swallow this insult; I have to get my revenge.

She exited the transfer interface, tilted her head, and pondered for a moment.

"Guigui, what are you up to?" Lin Wan saw through Jiang Guier at a glance.

She peeled off the face mask, crumpled it into a ball, wiped it on her arms and neck, then precisely spun it in an arc and threw it into the tabletop trash can on the coffee table. The trash can wobbled a few times due to gravity.

Jiang Guier raised her eyes slightly, "I'm going to make the trip myself."

She tossed her phone aside. "Didn't you think I had a bad attitude and forgot to pay, trying to run away with the bill? I definitely have to prove my innocence. I'm going to go there myself with cash to give it to him."

Her attitude was somewhat arrogant.

"Let me know when you're going, and I'll go with you."

Jiang Guier looked at the stern yet expectant look in Lin Wan's eyes and coldly refused, saying each word clearly, "I won't take you."

"Jiang Guiyuan!" Lin Wan angrily put her hands on her hips and began to yell.

Ignoring Lin Wan's angry curses, she got up and rummaged through the drawers in the living room; she remembered it should be here.

She quickly found a thick envelope, heavy in her hand, and inside was a stack of red papers.

That's right!
