Chapter 71 Norah Is Trapped, The Situation Is Emergent
"Hey, sister."
When the young girl on the other end of the line picks up the phone, she is peeling an apple, putting the phone between her head and shoulder.
"Qunnie, it's me."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Of course I know it's you! By the way, it's the first time you've called me since you came back China long long ago. Do you know that mom and dad miss you so much. When will you go home?" The girl's voice is clear and brisk.
Lilian holds the phone tightly, having mixed feelings.
Since her legs became lame after the car accident, her status in the Fountain family has collapsed.
While Qunnie who is very ordinary and has nothing better than her sister, has become the apple of the Fountain family's eyes and is loved by all people.
Thinking of this, Lilian's teeth grind with hatred.
But to solve the matter of extreme urgency, she still tries her best to control herself and keep her tone soft, "Qunnie, I encounter some trouble and need six hundred thousands. Can you lend it to me? I will pay you back later."
When Qunnie hears this, she immediately becomes worried, "Sister, what's going on? Why do you suddenly ask for so much money?"
Lilian is certainly reluctant to disclose anything. She deliberately answers vaguely, "Don't worry. I'm fine. As long as six hundred thousands are transferred to my account, the problem can be solved."
"Okay, sister, don't worry. I'll find ways to get it for you right away, but I don't have that much money. I'm going to ask dad for it. Hold on."
"Okay, please do it as soon as possible."
After she hangs up the phone, Lilian's palms are sweaty.
She felt as if she had exhausted all her strength.
About ten minutes later, Qunnie calls back and says, "Sister, I've already got the money from Dad. I'll transfer it to you later, but sister, can you promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?" Lilian frowns immediately.
She knew that Qunnie was not as simple as she thought.
Sure enough, she begins to make requirements so soon.
"It's..." Qunnie is a little embarrassed, "Dad arranged a blind date for me. I don't like that person. I want you to go in my stead. You only need drive that person away."
"That's it?" Lilian raises her eyebrows.
"Yes, that's it."
"Okay."
After Lilian accepts to the condition, the money is transferred soon.
She hands the card to the sales again in front of Vivian and Norah, and says proudly, "Pay by card."
"Okay, Miss."
With a clinking sound, the payment is successful.
Lilian stretches out her slender fingers and caresses the diamond ring on her hand with arrogance and ostentation.
Especially the expression on her face is very arrogant.
Vivian smiles and says, "If I were the brand owner, I would definitely be grateful to the Miss. Fang. It's a product that has been for sale for several years. I didn't expect that it could be sold. It's a miracle."
"What did you say?" Lilian glares at the sales angrily, "Is what she said true? Is this ring made a few years ago?"
The sales explains with a smile, "Miss Fountain, this is the classic style of our store."
Lilian suddenly becomes so angry that she foams with rage.
She spent five millions buying an outdated ring in the end.
And it's even an unsold inventory.
Moreover, the brand side rightfully says that it's classic. Now she felt like weeping but has no tears. She regrets it so much.
When she looks at Norah, she immediately strikes back stubbornly, "I like this classic ring very much. I believe that not only me, but also Shawn likes it."
Norah smiles, "Lily probably doesn't know yet. Shawn swore in front of grandpa's sickbed that he would never divorce me."
