Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1202: Chapter 1201: Trying to Squeeze More Money Out of Us

Gu Tong watched Xia Xi with a fierce look in her eyes. If Xia Xi dared to say ’yes’ at this moment, she’d definitely be kicked out of the car by Gu Tong.

This treatment is really something.

So scary...

"..." Xia Xi’s mouth twitched twice, just about to speak, but was interrupted by footsteps from not far away!

’Clunk--’ The footsteps came closer and closer.

’Creak--’ The bushes were pushed aside.

A plain-looking man walked over, appearing to be in his thirties. He wore a set of old black clothes, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "Sis, you’ve finally arrived."

He waved his hands desperately, looking very happy, his every move filled with joy, as if welcoming the God of Wealth.

Timing is everything.

Xia Xi laughed heartily, opened the car door, and said, "You came so early?"

The man ran over like a sycophant, standing by the driver’s side window, and said obsequiously, "When I heard you were coming, I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. I hardly slept at all last night."

His eyes darted towards the car window and suddenly saw Gu Tong. He was slightly stunned and said, "And this is...?"

He thought Xia Xi would be alone again, but unexpectedly, there was someone else, leaving him a bit puzzled.

Xia Xi introduced them to each other, "This is Xue Tong, my friend, and this is Chen Pi from Yanggou Village, we’re staying at his place this time."

Xue Tong?

That’s a really unusual name.

Chen Pi didn’t ask further, instead grinned and said, "Hello, Xue Tong!"

Gu Tong nonchalantly responded with an ’Mm,’ which counted as a greeting.

Of course, her actions weren’t because she looked down on Chen Pi, nor because of an aloof personality, but speaking too much can lead to mistakes, being reticent is better for observation.

After all, she just met Chen Pi and didn’t know his temperament, and according to Xia Xi, Chen Pi was very opportunistic and greedy, so it’s crucial to be extra cautious around such people.

Gu Tong’s demeanor was cold.

Chen Pi didn’t mind, simply categorized it as typical city folk being strange and holding themselves high.

Furthermore, his interactions with Xia Xi were driven by financial motives; as long as money is involved, who cares about cold attitudes?

Thinking about this, Chen Pi showed a difficult expression and said, "Sis, you should’ve told me earlier another sister was coming. The village has strict inspections recently, I’m afraid they’ll find out."

Oh dear!

This is a roundabout way of asking for more money, isn’t it?

Xia Xi didn’t pay attention, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You don’t have a phone, there’s no way to notify you."

This...

Chen Pi laughed awkwardly, saying, "Yes, yes... "

His face carried a smiling facade, but internally he was already cursing, truly those well-fed have no idea of the hunger of the starving.

Thinking everyone is like those wealthy city people, able to casually buy a phone for fun without considering how expensive it is...

You know, in the village, to make a call, you have to dial a specially set up phone booth, then an operator finds the person one by one before calling back. Taking a call requires traveling a long distance.

Xia Xi glanced at Gu Tong and said evenly, "Actually, I was planning to inform you earlier since my friend here is very picky. Everything regarding food and accommodation must be the best, and it’s up to Brother Chen Pi to arrange."

She casually mentioned it, raised her hand to take a stack of money, and said, "Here’s one thousand yuan, not sure if it’s enough!"
