Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Reaching an Agreement with the Ex-husband

This supermarket really made a fortune out of the national crisis.

Now that supplies are scarce, they’re deliberately jacking up the prices.

Unethical as it might be, business is booming!

These two must have gotten the old lady’s money, or perhaps Bai Mengmeng’s.

After all, it’s all her money—at least half of it belongs to her.

If they were to simply kill these two, wouldn’t that be letting them off too easily?

Better to find a way to get the money back first, then seek revenge.

Yes, that’s more cost-effective.

"What do you want, I don’t even know you, stop trying to forge connections."

Bai Mengmeng was, of course, aware of Jhiang Yuan’s previous clothes-selling business, and later she even found out from the building manager of Nine that Jhiang had supplies, and quite a lot.

"Jhiang Yuan, I know you’re still mad about what happened before, but I’ll apologize, okay?

Don’t be angry, otherwise, I and Xia Chaoyang won’t feel comfortable."

Good grief, this green tea is absolutely impossible to steep.

"Why are you saying all this? I’ve already said it, whatever happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me.

If we meet again, we’ll be strangers, can’t you understand that?"

Jhiang Yuan obviously couldn’t put on a happy face. The bigger the difference in her attitude, the more people were likely to overthink.

Plus, the more indifferent she appeared, the more Bai Mengmeng believed that Jhiang had something to gain from her.

"What are you guys doing? If you’re not buying anything, get out quickly.

Don’t stand here chatting and waste other customers’ time."

The enforcer maintaining order inside the supermarket also had a fierce look, holding an electric baton, like an enforcer for the underworld.

"We’re leaving, big brother, we’re leaving right now..."

Xia Chaoyang fawned over the man with a toady-ish demeanor.

Jhiang Yuan turned around and took a small loaf of bread from the shelf—it actually cost a hundred bucks, it was essentially robbery!

Then she headed to the cash register, with Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng hastily following her.

They squeezed in with her at the same cash register, where the cashier was a burly man.

"Is this all you’re buying?"

"Yeah, I’m out of money."

"Let’s pay together, we’re friends."

Bai Mengmeng wore a look of understanding, smiling radiantly at Jhiang Yuan.

If that’s the case, then she wouldn’t hold back. Spending even one extra cent now would be shameful.

When she came to the entrance, she took out her own card to exchange for her deposit.

Good lord, the staff here actually threw the money into a garbage bin.

It was one of those large, green, wheeled trash bins.

Half a bin full of money was returned to the people coming to retrieve their deposits.

How much was there? Her eyes were wide with greed, yet she dared not make a move.

There were five people in total on this side, three standing at the back, one counting money, and another collecting the cards.

The three at the back all had electric batons, and the other two had them too, placed on the table.

Going over there now would be hopeless.

No choice but to leave for now.

Jhiang Yuan deliberately walked slowly, waiting for Bai Mengmeng and Xia Chaoyang to catch up with her.

One step, two steps, three steps...

"Jhiang Yuan, wait a second..."

Just as expected, the fish took the bait, and she slightly curled her lips upward.

"Jhiang Yuan, don’t walk so fast, I have something to tell you."

Xia Chaoyang caught up and actually tried to grab her arm, but Jhiang Yuan executed a shoulder throw, and he lay on the ground groaning in pain.

The move Song Yi taught her really did the trick, thumbs up for that!

"It’s your own fault for coming at me, don’t blame me."

Xia Chaoyang was gritting his teeth in pain while those in line around them were eager for some drama; he couldn’t afford to lose face.

"Jhiang Yuan, we didn’t mean it like that. Let’s go and talk over there."

Seeing her standing still, Bai Mengmeng continued her moral coercion.

"Just think of the fact that we helped you pay just now. Come over, we want to help you too."

Jhiang Yuan sighed feignedly and followed them across the street.

The place happened to be the bank they had scouted earlier, so she wasn’t worried about the two harboring any ill intentions.

"What’s the matter, speak up!"

Bai Mengmeng, seeing her attitude, didn’t beat around the bush anymore.

"Jhiang Yuan, I’ll cut to the chase. I know you have plenty of supplies on your side, and we are willing to pay for them.

We’ve known each other for a while, you trust us, and selling to others would be the same. We won’t skimp on the money."

Jhiang Yuan looked at her, this person was still so confident. Even behind a mask, she could imagine the expression on her face.

"How did you know?"

Bai Mengmeng appeared to have understood completely, now she was certain.

"Never mind how I found out, probably the whole neighborhood knows by now.

Jhiang Yuan, just sell some to me."

She deliberately showed hesitation, as if making a firm decision on the spot.

"I can sell to you, but I only have some clothes left, nothing else."

"What about food? You should have some food, right?"

"No food, just some cigarettes and liquor."

"Cigarettes will do, we want those..."

She said this on purpose because Xia Chaoyang was addicted to smoking, and in the apocalypse, there was no place to buy more.

He was naturally desperate for them; Jhiang Yuan had tried to make him quit before, but it was never successful.

"How much money do you have?"

"If you have food, we could have half a million."

Half a million wasn’t a small sum at all!

It seemed Bai Mengmeng was quite a character, not short on money at all.

Or rather, the old lady hadn’t scrimped on the cash.

"Alright, then you two go back and wait. I’ll trade with you later."

"Deal, it’s a promise."

Xia Chaoyang and Bai Mengmeng were very happy. They walked away a distance, then started whispering to each other.

"Mengmeng, we don’t have that much money. Why did you tell her we had half a million?"

Bai Mengmeng clicked her tongue and shook her head at him.

"If I say that, she’ll bring a lot of stuff over.

You’re not actually planning to give her the money, are you?"

Xia Chaoyang looked at her, quickly catching on.

"You’re the smart one, Mengmeng."

The two of them happily carried their items and headed back into the residential area.

Jhiang Yuan planned to head to the end of the line to pry loose some bricks and make a little money.

She needed to be discreet, of course; with so many people around, it could be troublesome.

"Quick, hurry..."

What’s happening? Why are the security guards rushing towards the supermarket like crazy?

The line was in disarray, and then she saw people at the front start flooding into the supermarket frantically.

Those at the back, not clear on the situation, either ran in by choice or were swept along.

The crowd was a dense mass, resembling the rush of the Spring Festival travel season.

What was this chaos? She was bewildered.

Could it be that someone had started looting or it was a collective crime, which was why all the security from the supermarket had been mobilized?

Damn, it would be complete mayhem then.

Jhiang Yuan saw people near the exit running over too; with no one left, what about the money?
