Jiang Chengshi said, "My mom went to help arrange funerals for her coworkers! Several of them died all at once. She wouldn't feel right if she didn't do her part! She's going from family to family, so she won't be home for at least three to five days!
"Listen, my family never hides our money or bankbooks from me. I know where they keep everything, so it hardly counts as stealing. Consider this money something I took out to lend you! Besides, once the expo on the twenty-fourth is over, I'll put it right back!"
"Lao Jiang! You... trust me that much?" Song Ning asked, looking at him.
"What kind of question is that? You helped me save my mom's life... and I didn't even say anything!"
Jiang Chengshi patted Song Ning on the shoulder. "I'm glad you could meet me a few decades early. We've still got plenty of years ahead of us, granddaughter!"
She had been quite touched.
But hearing such grandfatherly words from Jiang Chengshi, dressed like an artsy-or rather, scruffy-young man, really ruined the mood.
Song Ning accepted the bankbook.
"All right! Let's borrow your mom's money! We'll make sure it earns her some extra!"
They chatted as they walked to the bank. Before they had waited long, Gu Zheng came speeding over in his car.
After getting out, he took two bankbooks from his pocket and put them straight into Song Ning's hands.
"This is all the money I have here in Rong City! See if it's enough. If not, I can have my family send more!"
Gu Zheng seemed very happy as he said this.
In fact, he was positively radiant.
Song Ning felt that Gu Zheng had become a completely different person in just that short time.
His face was already unfairly handsome.
