Chapter 686: Some Feelings Exist Even When Out Of Sight_1

Munching on a burger and drinking a cola, Tan Xiao was in absolute bliss.

No one could have predicted such a shocking turn of events.

Ouyang Peishan, who had been willing to spend big money to go against them, ended up sustaining injuries from her own hired help.

This was more than satisfying and utterly exhilarating!

The wronged expression on Ouyang Peishan’s face as she left was enough to keep Tan Xiao awake for days and nights with sheer delight.

She was so overjoyed that she laughed too hard.

Laughing so hard injured her mouth, it suddenly hurt so much she started grimacing.

However, the girl named Zimo had a personality that was cool to the point of being unbearable.

She had endless patience for Baili Xia and her companion named Xiaoxiao.

She couldn’t be bothered to interact with anyone else.

But it was certain that both Zimo and Xiaoxiao were good people.

Or at least they were, at times.

They had recently visited an orphanage, and now everyone knew.

Turns out that Zimo had been fighting, all for the sake of the children at the orphanage.

The orphanage’s land had been acquired, the director had absconded with the funds, and now, the children were facing the dire situation of becoming homeless.

In reality, even if they had taken Ouyang Peishan’s money, it would not be enough to compensate for the buyer’s losses.

It was nowhere near enough.

“Fifty thousand is my limit.” Tan Xiao was from a wealthy family, but just a normal wealthy one.

Compared to the likes of Tan Xiao, they were not even worth mentioning.

“Thank you.” Xiaoxiao nodded at her.

Fifty thousand was indeed a significant amount.

However, the contract stipulated a penalty of seven hundred thousand, so fifty thousand was too little.

“I sold a design, I can get a hundred thousand after receiving the remaining balance in a few days.”

Xiaoxiao looked towards Zimo, but Zimo remained silent.

Everyone could only feel helpless when she didn’t speak.

“I’ll figure out the rest.” Baili Xia looked at them.

Excluding Tan Xiao, Zimo and Xiaoxiao were unquestionably their own people.

Although everyone hadn’t seen each other for over a decade, certain sentiments remained, even if they didn’t meet for a lifetime.

As for Tan Xiao, her character was indeed good.

Otherwise, Zimo might not even be willing to sit with her.

“And what can you do.” Zimo looked at Baili Xia, her thin lips pressed even tighter.

“Don’t go borrowing money from those wealthy people, don’t meddle in this, I will find a way.”

“Then what do you plan to do?

Continue fighting?”

Baili Xia pushed her own burger in front of her, “You eat, I’m not hungry.”

Zimo began eating it without uttering a word in refusal.

They were family, no need for pretense.

Watching her devour the burger, it looked as if she hadn’t eaten properly for days and nights.

Seeing her like this, Baili Xia’s heart just sunk.

“Don’t cry, I have food. It’s only because I’ve been too active lately.”

Zimo didn’t even lift her eyelids, yet she had seen through her thoughts.

“I don’t cry easily now, I just feel a little sad.” Baili Xia laughed, looking at Xiaoxiao.

“I really can think of a way to solve the money problem, but afterwards, don’t let Zimo fight anymore.”

Xiaoxiao sighed, helpless.

If she wasn’t with her back against the wall, she would never let Zimo do something she didn’t like.

“Where have you all been all these years?” Baili Xia continued asking.

She had been looking for them for so many years without any news.

She really hadn’t expected to just run into them in such a bizarre way.
