You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 We Are Friends

“I see,” replied Wu Nian before tears welled up in her eyes inconspicuously. “I’m here to accompany a friend, so I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Oh, okay,” he answered.

“Ms. Wu, its initial cost is one million and eighty thousand. But since we’re doing a promotional event now, it’ll only cost nine hundred and eighty thousand. That’s around a hundred thousand in discount. Furthermore, we’ll give you some amazing gifts, such as a rice cooker and an oven. You can also participate in a lucky draw where you might stand a chance to win a fridge, a motorcycle, or a speedboat,” introduced the salesperson enthusiastically.

“Please give me your name card. I’ll relay the message to my friend and if she’s interested, I’ll contact you later,” said Wu Nian, feeling interested.

“Okay, sure.” The salesperson handed her his name card excitedly.

After leaving the shop, she strolled at the dock instead of going back.

There were a lot of people selling various seafood, such as octopuses, crabs, fish, clams, and prawns.

A fishy smell lingered in the air while fishermen crowded the place. Due to the timing, there were not a lot of customers there.

Wu Nian wanted to buy a crab. However, when she remembered that the room which she was staying in did not have a kitchen, she gave up on that thought. She strolled by the sea instead, feeling the sea breeze against her face.

She remembered sitting on the beach, enjoying the sea breeze with Gu Mingchen. The sea breeze was gentle and the fire raged in the stone pile. The stew in the pot boiled while the glow of the fire lit up their faces.

Although there were only the two of them there, she did not feel lonely at all. All she felt was a calmness she had never felt before.

Now, she was roaming in a bustling city all alone. Other than a greater sense of loneliness, she felt on edge as well. She did not know where she wanted to go and if there was a place for her to rest at. Every day was filled with solitude and despair.

Just then, an old lady, who was carrying a large basket over her back, staggered and fell onto the ground.

She rushed over and wanted to help her out. “Are you okay?”

Sitting on the floor, the old woman grabbed her hand and yelled, “Help! Someone knocked me down!”

Wu Nian stared at her intently and asked calmly, “Are you sure that you want to do this?”

“Ma’am, it’s a blind spot here. I’ll just insist that you pushed me. I don’t want a lot. Just give me two hundred, or I’ll make a big deal out of this,” whispered the old lady.

Wu Nian smirked. “You’re scamming others by exploiting their kindness. Even if you lead a good life in this world, you or your children will still suffer due to retribution.”

“What are you talking about? I’ll rip your mouth out!” threatened the old woman menacingly.

When Wu Nian studied psychology, she learned that people would act aggressively to conceal their unease or escape from something because they felt unconfident or terrified.

Smiling, Wu Nian took out two hundred from her wallet and passed it to the old woman.

The old woman was stunned as she took the money. After leaving, Wu Nian sat under the shade of a tree and stared at the azure sea for a long time until the sun set. When she entered a seafood buffet restaurant, she saw a girl place all the food on the table before snapping a few pictures of it and posting the best one on her social media.

Some people lived for others. They could only find their sense of identity through others’ envy and praises.

Wu Nian chose a seat and ate some food. Then, she took out her phone and played My Talking Hank to pass the time.

Suddenly, her phone rang. When she saw that it was from Liu Yan, she immediately accepted it.

Liu Yan was silent.

As she rarely acted like that, Wu Nian had a bad feeling. “What happened? Did something happen?”

“Shen Yiyan will be tagging along for a week for the trip. When he’s away, he’ll instruct a guard to constantly stay by my side. I think he knows that I’m planning to leave, what should I do? The men he sends will definitely be elite,” revealed Liu Yan worriedly.
