BXBX NOVEL Chapter 575 - Robbery
Chapter 575: Robbery
The staff did not dare offend Zhao Anan, so she said to her truthfully, “Miss, we have never given 50% discount in our store, the same goes for President Zhao. You can ask her if you want.”
Since you said that your mother is the boss, what about asking her yourself?
Zhao Anan would of course not ask Zhao Zhao, or she would be exposed for running out of home and will be taken back.
Zhao Anan got a bit annoyed. She found that she had cared so little about the family business that the employees did not recognize her.
In the end, Zheng Jing bought a necklace priced at 5,000 with a 20% discount. That was the cheapest necklace in the entire store, and was chosen by Zhao Anan.
After they walked out of the store, Zhao Anan stretched out her hands towards Zheng Jing. “Money!”
She had thought that Zheng Jing would reject her, but he put the wallet into her palm and said, “This is all the money I have. Take it! I told you that I am happy to give it to you.”
“Aha?”
Zhao Anan dug her ears, thinking that she had heard something wrong.
That did not sound right...
But she was already distracted by the wallet, so she treated his words as nothing but a bag of wind.
Inside the wallet, there was a neat deck of 2,000 yuan as if it had been waiting for her. It baffled Zhao Anan.
But she could not tell what was weird about it, so she ignored her instinct and said with a frown, “So little?”
Zheng Jing got annoyed by her disdainful look. But he had to tolerate her behavior and said in a guilty tone. “I did not expect that I would run into you. Next time, I will get more.”
Zhao Anan nodded with satisfaction. “Seems that you have learnt well. Now, you can go do whatever you want. I am leaving.”
“That won’t work. You have chosen a gift for me, and I should treat you to a meal. What about having beefsteak at a western restaurant?”
Zhao Anan raised her eyebrows. “You still have money with you?”
“I have a credit card, no cash.”
They went and ate a rich lunch at the restaurant. Post that, they took a walk to digest the food and then Zheng Jing dropped Zhao Anan home.
When Zhao Anan arrived home, she felt that something weird was going on with Zheng Jing. He had not been so friendly to her in the past. He might not be as cold as Jing Yichen, but was quite indifferent. He would never have treated her to a lunch earlier, so what made him change?
Before Zhao Anan could think further, a cold voice arose from behind her back. “Where have you been, Zhao Anan?”
She got startled. She turned around and squeezed her face into a fake smile. In a pleasing tone, she said, “Grandmother, I just went out for some fun. It is so boring being at home!”
The Old Lady asked in a low voice. “For some fun? You went to visit Mu Qing, didn’t you? My little birds at the Mu’s Hospital told me so. Don’t think that I would not get to know about it!”
What? Little birds?
So grandmother had arranged for someone to spy at her in the hospital? That was so sinister.
Zhao Anan suddenly collapsed and said with a drooping head. “Yes, I went there to break up with him. Please, don’t misunderstand me, Grandmother!”
“This is the last time. Since you have decided not to marry Mu Qing, then don’t badger him. If you like him that much, go ahead and marry him. You are not allowed to keep him hanging. This is not what the Zhao Family is like!”
The Old Lady of the Zhao Family sounded fierce, and Zhao Anan lowered her head. “I know...”
“Since you don’t want to marry Mu Qing, then we can talk about your blind date.”
“Huh?!”
Zhao Anan looked up abruptly. She got so startled that she gasped.
“What are you talking about, Grandmother? A blind date?!”
“Of course, if Mu Qing can go on a blind date, why can’t you?” The Old Lady asked casually, but soon, she changed her expression. “Or, is it that you are still thinking about Mu Qing?”
“No, no...” Zhao Anan started to stutter when she heard this. “I... I... not blind dates! That’s bad for the date!”
The old Lady knew what her granddaughter meant – she was afraid that she would not live long enough to have a proper relationship with any other man.
But that was the last thing she wanted to hear.
“Nonsense! What do you mean bad for the date? I have found a man who can accept you as you are. He is divorced with a child. It’s good because you do not need to give birth to a child when you marry him. You can get your uterus removed and that would reduce the chance of getting the disease once again.”
Since Zhao Anan had not got married or had any child, Zhao Zhao had never agreed that she should undergo this kind of surgery earlier.
“What? Divorced with a child? I am going to be a stepmother?” Zhao Anan’s eyes widened and looked at the old lady in disbelief. “Grandmother, are you really my grandmother? Did you pick my mother up from the street?”
The old lady knocked at her forehead in anger. “Of course, I gave birth to your mother. Otherwise I would not have cared about you at all!”
“Oh, then I am the one picked up from the street.”
“Stop talking nonsense! This is the deal. Nine o’clock tomorrow morning, the man will pick you up for a meal. You must not sleep in till late.”
“No, grandmother, I don’t want to be someone else’s stepmother.” Zhao Anan slumped down to the floor, looking displeased. She almost threw a tantrum by rolling over the floor.
The Old Lady of the Zhao Family did not care about her behavior and said authoritatively, “You can be a real mother, if you marry Mu Qing tomorrow. Then I will cancel the blind date. Your call.”
“These are two different matters. I am not marrying Mu Qing because I don’t want to cause him trouble.”
“Then you must go for the blind date tomorrow. The man is a supplier to our store. Dress up well. Do not lose face for the Zhao Family.”
Having said the words, the old lady went upstairs, ignoring Zhao Anan.
Zhao Anan rolled her eyes and suddenly jumped up with glee. “Alright then, I will give you a nice surprise tomorrow!”
The following morning, Zhao Anan got up early in the morning, got dressed into the clothes which her grandmother had prepared for her. During breakfast, she even helped grandmother with the porridge and food, making the Old Lady feel suspicious.
The man’s car came to the Zhao Family and picked Zhao Anan up. She showed her true colors after the car was a few hundred meters away from the house.
She pulled out a knife and put it over the man’s neck. She said, “I am a robber, give me all the money you have!”
