Chapter 357: Chapter 353: Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei

Zhang Zhengquan watched Sun Xiaolian’s back, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He didn’t know what to say about Sun Xiaolian anymore; she used to be so cautious with everything when she first came out.

He once deeply admired that kind of Sun Xiaolian.

Decisive, straightforward, and efficient.

Without that melodramatic sympathy and compassion of ordinary girls.

In her eyes and mind, the goal was clear, and that was money.

She, Sun Xiaolian, wanted to live the most luxurious and prosperous life in this world.

And facts proved that Sun Xiaolian indeed achieved it.

But as her success rate increased, instead of learning anything from it, she became more and more arrogant.

Over there, she hit a few soft spots in a row, and anyone careful by nature would have let go earlier.

Why is there this stubbornness of not turning back until hitting a wall? What if something happens...

The woman beside him whispered, "Brother Zhang, what should we do now?"

She looked at Sun Xiaolian’s back, with a face full of words unsaid. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even though her voice was low, Zhang Zhengquan heard everything.

"This is the final step, and if something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility?

You have to know, we have thirteen companions on this train, along with sixteen children waiting to be transferred."

Zhang Zhengquan took a deep breath, "Alright, don’t say anymore, I’m aware of the situation. Hold the child, find a place to rest first."

The woman lowered her eyes, hiding the jealousy in her gaze, continuing in a low voice, "If things go wrong this time, we might be in for it when we get back."

"Slap!"

A slap landed on her face, burning with pain.

Yet she dared not utter a word.

Zhang Zhengquan’s eyes were red, his demeanor reeked of menace, as if ready to devour someone.

The woman helplessly shivered her shoulders, shrinking.

Taking a deep breath, she swallowed down all her fury.

"Sorry, my temper is not good right now, you’d better stay away from me, just don’t involve yourself in this matter."

The woman slightly raised her eyes, "Brother Zhang, what if something happens..."

"Xiao Wei, I’ll repeat for the last time, during our missions, don’t let me hear such discouraging words again."

Zhang Zhengquan stared intently into Xiao Wei’s eyes, calmly saying, "What do you mean by if something happens?"

Xiao Wei’s eyes trembled, tears shimmered beneath them.

After a while, she spoke with a sobbing tone, "Brother Zhang, I’m wrong, I was just worried...

I’m sorry, I’ll never say such things again in the future."

Xiao Wei’s face was already swollen.

Paired with her eyes, appearing shimmering under moonlight, even Zhang Zhengquan found a touch of pity in them.

Sigh, forget it.

Still a novice after all, knows nothing now, teach her slowly when there’s time later.

With this thought, Zhang Zhengquan softened his tone, brushed Xiao Wei’s face, "There’s no what if, when we take action, we’re bound to succeed.

Understand?"

Xiao Wei endured the urge to move her face away, nodded in trembling compliance, "Brother Zhang, I’ve remembered, I won’t make the same mistake twice."

"Hmm," Zhang Zhengquan uttered in a low voice, "Does your face still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt anymore," Xiao Wei seemed somewhat gratefully, "Brother Zhang, I’m, I’m okay, otherwise, go check on Sister Xiao Lian.

As a young girl, if she encounters any problem, she might not handle it well on her own."

"Alright, I got it, be careful yourself, I’ll go over and take a look first."

"Okay."

Watching Zhang Zhengquan’s figure walk away, the pitiful expression on Xiao Wei’s face gradually disintegrated.

Finally, smoothing out.

She slightly pulled at the corners of her lips, let out a faint laugh, looked at the child in her arms, who’d fallen into unconsciousness, and mocked, "What an idiot, should’ve sent you to your death long ago."

Xiao Wei’s gaze was suppressed with madness, "Even someone like me can’t see through you, what can I expect from you?"

She casually thrust the child into her arms, and turned over a bundle of cash tickets from the swaddle.

She had just managed to slip these from Zhang Zhengquan.

"Sss~"

She glanced at the denomination above, clearly dissatisfied.

On normal days, acting all high and mighty, speaking with veiled language, and being particular about appearance and meals.

Thought he was someone with big assets.

It turned out...

This?

This swiped together doesn’t even amount to thirty bucks.

But, even a mosquito’s legs are meat.

Xiao Wei didn’t mind at all and slipped the money ticket into her pocket.

She stood by the car compartment, holding the child, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The train had been running for half an hour; finally, the endless rocky road slowly turned into a forest.

The fluffy snow, that was Xiao Wei’s way out.

She glanced at the sleeping child in her arms, let out a low laugh, and reached out to play with his rosy lips.

"Little one, landing in my hands is both your fortune and your misfortune.

Whether the two of us can survive depends on today’s luck.

If you don’t want to die, you’d better pray we find a place to land with a deep snowdrift."

With that, Xiao Wei cradled the child, jumped up, and leaped off the train.

The place where she landed was a soft snow pit.

Xiao Wei’s body ached badly, the train roared past.

Xiao Wei sat up, checked the child’s breath, and discovered he was still alive, and immediately smiled.

"Stupid boy, didn’t expect you to be so resilient."

Looking up again, the train had rumbled far away.

Xiao Wei raised her hand, playfully, "Goodbye! Damn Sun Xiaolian, damn Zhang Zhengquan~

If you want to die, go ahead, but I haven’t lived enough yet. If you want to die, go die by yourselves."

With that, she stood up with the child, randomly chose a direction, and began to trek.

...

Rumblings.

The carriage shook a bit, Wen Ran woke up.

But she yawned and went back to sleep.

Midnight.

Sun Xiaolian felt this was the best time to act.

Despite Zhang Zhengquan’s advice, she resolutely began her move.

"I told you a long time ago, don’t fight for a moment’s chivalry.

Avoid speaking or acting recklessly.

You used to listen to me before, why not anymore? Does my advice disgust you that much?"

Sun Xiaolian was fed up, "No, are you kidding me?

If your advice worked, do you think I wouldn’t listen? You always think about being stable in everything, but if we seek stability, how could we have amassed such wealth?

Risk and opportunity coexist; every step I take now might seem risky to you.

But eventually, it’ll turn into the gold bracelet I wear and the money in my pocket.

These are all my confidence.

You can’t give me confidence, yet you won’t allow me to earn it myself?"
