96,—the eighth cannon fodder—(1/3)
"I just heard what Peter said, I really want to congratulate you." Taomi raised her glass, Sun Zhuo also picked up the wine glass that Peter handed over, and the two of them clinked their glasses.
"Well, I'm really happy. I finally got rid of that annoying Liu Zhifang." Sun Zhuo put down the cup and breathed a sigh of relief, "But Wen Xin, you are both fashion designers, why do I feel so different between you and her?"
There’s such a huge gap.”
"Everyone is different, even fashion designers are not the same." As soon as Taomi finished speaking, she saw the black '8' on Sun Zhuo's shoulder.
Sun Zhuo was wearing black clothes today, but she didn't notice it because the lights were too bright. Now she saw that there was an "8" on the person's forehead. She had also seen this type of character on people who had been to No. 8 Pawn Shop before.
Pass.
"Sun Zhuo, have you seen Mr. Han recently?"
Sun Zhuo was slightly startled, "Why are you asking this?"
Taomi smiled and said, "It's okay. I just want to ask Mr. Han. He said last time that No. 8 Pawnshop has requirements for its customers. I just want to know what the requirements are."
"Wen Xin, listen to me. Pawnshop No. 8 doesn't exist at all. Han Nuo was joking with you last time, and he asked me to apologize to you afterwards. It's just that I have been thinking about Liu Zhifang and me recently.
I forgot about it. It really is a place that doesn't exist, so don't worry about it, you know?" Sun Zhuo held Taomi's shoulders and looked into her eyes and said seriously.
"I know, I won't think about it again." Taomi picked up the cup and took a sip. Sun Zhuo's look just showed that she already knew where Pawn Shop No. 8 was, and she had probably gone there.
pass.
So what exactly did Sun Zhuo pawn? And what did he get in exchange for it?
I'm afraid only Han Nuo and Sun Zhuo know this.
Judging from the way Sun Zhuo looks now, he knows that Pawn Shop No. 8 is not a good place anymore, so he is trying his best to stop her from looking for it.
Pawnshop No. 8 is really like a drug. Even though we know it is poisonous, we still can't stop taking it.
Many people know this, but the pawnshop business has not stopped for thousands of years, and the number of bottles containing souls on the shelves is increasing day by day.
On this day, another customer came to the pawn shop. He was a man. What he wanted to pawn was a Diamond Sutra handwritten by Master Hongyi. Both Han Nuo and Ah Jing knew the value of this sutra. Master Hongyi was a highly respected person.
Master, his scriptures are the nemesis of darkness. Now that someone has sent the nemesis to them, of course they must keep it, lest someone use the scriptures to do something detrimental to them in the future.
And with this book, when the Black Shadow is checking items in the fiftieth year, there will be no problem even if there are two less souls collected.
But just when the customer was signing, he suddenly regretted it, and Han Nuo's leg was injured while snatching the scripture. Moreover, the person's name was not finished, and the scripture was not an item of the pawn shop to be precise. This transaction was also
That's all.
Ah Jing quickly helped the injured Han Nuo back to the room. They would not be injured easily. Of course, if they were injured, they could not take medicine. They could only rest and rest. They would be fine in a few days.
"You are incompetent."
A black shadow appeared in Han Nuo's room, startling both Ah Jing and Han Nuo.
"Master, the boss is already injured, how can you still say that he is incompetent? That person signed the contract and regretted it half way through. Isn't it a bit unfair for you to put all the responsibilities on the boss?
"
Ah Jing has never seen such a weak Han Nuo. Now that he is like this, he still has to be called incompetent by the shadow. This is too unfair.
"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about warmth." Heiying said coldly. The pawnshop's business is all done voluntarily by the customers. As long as Han Nuo and Ah Jing don't violate the pawnshop's rules, he will not
They will be punished. He was talking about something else.
Han Nuo and Ah Jing were also puzzled that Heiying actually knew about Wen Xin, "Master, what happened to Wen Xin?"
"Why didn't you tell me that she was able to come to No. 8 Pawn Shop?"
"Wen Xin came in a red sedan chair. I don't know why she came here when her name was not on the reservation wall. But our pawn shop is doing business and there are many customers. I don't think so.
Wen Xin has nothing special to say."
As soon as Han Nuo finished speaking, he was attacked by the black shadow. His already very weak body became even weaker. "Go and win her over to me. I want her to become a slave of darkness."
"Master, the boss is like this now. How can he win over Wenxin for you when he can't even get out of bed?" Now, in Ah Jing's eyes, whether or not he can win over Wenxin is no longer important. What's important is that Han Nuo actually vomited blood.
This is something that has never happened before, which shows how heavy Black Shadow's previous attack was.
"It will be fine in two days. If you can't do what I tell you this time, then you can die together." After saying these harsh words, the black shadow disappeared from the room.
Ah Jing hurriedly checked Han Nuo's condition, "Boss, how are you?"
"I'm fine, I'll be fine in just two days." The physical injuries were not serious, but what really worried Han Nuo was that Heiying knew about Taomi's existence.
The last time Taomi came here, she was indeed brought here in a red sedan chair, but the reason for her coming was very strange. It was not because of her unsatisfied desires like others, but purely because of her curiosity.
Just driven.
He originally thought that curiosity was also a kind of desire, but now it seems that the person who can make Heiying miss him may not just come to No. 8 Pawn Shop out of curiosity.
"Master, it's true. He knew you were injured and yet he treated you so cruelly. How many days will it take for you to recover?" Ah Jing said distressedly as she wiped the beads of sweat from Han Nuo's forehead.
"It's just a show of force. He won't kill us so easily." He said it well at the beginning. As long as he doesn't violate the rules of the pawn shop, he can continue to work in Pawn Shop No. 8 and won't be killed because of poor performance.
Understand.
"But you're like this? Do you still want to find Wenxin?" She had seen Wenxin before. Apart from being beautiful and talented, she didn't see anything special about him?
Han Nuo showed a pale smile, "Of course it will be after I recover from my illness, just for two days, the master will not have any objections."
Hearing what Han Nuo said, Ah Jing was relieved and covered Han Nuo with a quilt, "Then we won't receive guests these days. Just let me take good care of you."
"good."
After receiving Han Nuo's approval, Ah Jing happily went out and erased all the names on the appointment wall, and also erased all the names for the next few days, and ordered not to be disturbed.
Sun Zhuo was really relaxed for two days after knowing that she was not Liu Zhifang's daughter, but bad news came one after another. Because she was in a bad mood and had to take a lot of classes, the pub had already found a new resident singer, and she was fired.
.
And because Peter helped her and said a few words, Peter was also fired from the pub. The two of them started their careers one after another, and then even their lives became a problem.
At this time, Sun Zhuo remembered pawnshop No. 8 again. The last time she took the family heirloom to Hannuo, she did not accept her pawn. This time she took the family heirloom to the jewelry store, and the prices given were not satisfactory. She
I want to go to pawn shop No. 8 to pawn something else.
But she took the business card and read it out many times to no avail. Han Nuo was nowhere to be seen, and the red sedan that took her to No. 8 Pawn Shop for the first time did not appear.
"Sister Wenxin, Liu Zhifang is here."
"Liu Zhifang?" What else is she doing here? "Do you know anything?"
Mimi shook her head, "She didn't say, but she came by herself this time, without an assistant, and she seems quite kind. Do you want to meet her?"
"Let her come in." If it was still because she wanted to acquire the studio, she could just explain the matter clearly. It would be very annoying for Liu Zhifang to always come to her.
Liu Zhifang walked in under the leadership of Mimi. She was no longer as domineering as she was wearing sunglasses in the tea last time. She was smiling. If she hadn't seen her face before, she would never have believed that Liu Zhifang would be interested in her.
Such an expression.
"Ms. Liu, I wonder if you have anything to do with me?"
"Wenxin, I can call you that." Liu Zhifang sat across from Taomi, looking a little at a loss. Taomi really couldn't figure out why she did what she did.
Can you call me, what else can she say? "Ms. Liu, if you still want to acquire my studio, I think there is nothing left to talk about between us."
"No, I don't want to buy your studio." Liu Zhifang quickly denied it, grabbing Taomi's hand with some excitement, "Wenxin, you are my biological daughter, why would I want something from you?
?”
Liu Zhifang's words made Taomi slightly startled.
What kind of biological daughter? It was said before that Sun Zhuo was, but after the paternity test was done, it was found that Sun Zhuo was not, so why did he turn his attention to her again?
Taomi withdrew her hand and said, "Ms. Liu, I think you are mistaken. How could I be your biological daughter?"
"It's impossible, I won't be mistaken." Liu Zhifang said anxiously, "You and Sun Zhuo are friends. You should already know that Sun Zhuo and I have done a paternity test. We have no mother-daughter relationship. You and Sun Zhuo are
We came to the orphanage together, so you are most likely."
In the warm memory, she was originally in an orphanage with Sun Zhuo, but the original orphanage was burned down by a fire, and she and Sun Zhuo were sent to the current orphanage, so Liu Zhifang
The possibility mentioned is really very possible.
"I know this is a shock to you, and I am also very surprised. If you are willing, we can do a paternity test. Just think about it. I won't force you. We will meet at the coffee shop at noon tomorrow. I hope
You will be able to give me an accurate answer then."
Liu Zhifang came and left very quickly. When she walked out of the studio building, Liu Zhifang raised the corners of her mouth. To be honest, she didn't expect Taomi to be her biological daughter, but it was just right.
She can see Taomi's potential as someone who has experienced it. Her fortune in the next ten years must be very pure and precious. If she only asks Han Nuo for 200 million, is it too little? She must ask for more.
Nor was the life she gave her in vain.
Taomi didn't know that Liu Zhifang was doing business with Pawnshop No. 8, and she was still the chip. She was hesitating whether to recognize her if she was really Liu Zhifang's daughter. After all, when she first came here, Warm Wishes
She just has a family, but now that Liu Zhifang is here, what should she do?
No, she is not Wenxin. Although she is using Wenxin's body now, it was Liu Zhifang who left Wenxin behind at the beginning, and she didn't like Liu Zhifang either, so there was no need to recognize her.
"If I were you, I wouldn't recognize Liu Zhifang."
Taomi looked up at the place where the voice came from, "It's you." The woman who stuffed the business card of Pawnshop No. 8 into Sun Zhuo's bag that day could suddenly appear in her room without making any sound. It seemed that she was also from Pawnshop No. 8.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ah Jing. I am the assistant of Han Nuo, the owner of the No. 8 pawn shop. Nice to meet you, Miss Wenxin."
Han Nuo's assistant? "I think I have nothing to do with pawnshop No. 8. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
