Chapter 69 - Karma

There was no one on the lane, so the man knew that the person behind him was calling him.

He turned around, only to see a strange woman, in the evening, wearing a mask and a hat. He was immediately on the alert.

At the same time, Ling Xi also looked at man and the little girl, their clothes were indeed out of tune with this prosperous city.

“What are you doing?”

Ling Xi slowly walked to the little girl and squatted down. “Baby, do you want to give your mom a birthday present?”

The little girl’s mind was still very simple, completely unaware of the danger of strangers, and so with a pair of watery eyes staring at the strange aunt in front of her, she nodded her head gently, “Hm.”

“Just in time. Auntie has a small gift for you. Here you go, you can give it to mom, okay?” As she spoke, she handed her the bag.

Hearing her gentle voice, the man’s vigilance went down a little bit, but still suspected that she had ulterior motives. “Who are you? Why are you giving us a gift?”

Ling Xi recognized the tension in the man’s voice and chuckled lightly, “Why? Are you worried that I’ll kidnap you father and daughter?”

Hearing the woman’s banter, the man’s face became faint and airy. Indeed, a big man like him, what was there to be afraid of?”

“How much is this gift? I’ll give you the money.”

“Not much, just 3 million!”

“What?” The man shouted out in shock, as if he had heard something shocking. He held the little girl’s hand tightly, “Why don’t you go to the bank and steal the money? I knew you were a bad woman. You don’t want to scam me, do you?”

He immediately shifted his eyes, looking around. He was quickly disappointed. No one. If this woman really wanted to scam him, he really wouldn’t be able to argue. There was nothing/no one to testify on his behalf.

He used to work as a bodyguard for rich people, but he didn’t expect that after he had lost a top secret document, his boss would come down on his head, what’s more, the surveillance cameras had only showed that he had entered the boss’s room. He had been jailed for that.

He could have lived a good life with his wife and children, but now many bosses had tactfully rejected his request for entry as soon as they heard that he had gone to prison for theft.

His family was quickly approaching the point where they wouldn’t even be able to boil a pot of water, where was there money to buy gifts?

The little girl looked at her father in perplexity, looked at the strange aunt again, then said, “Auntie, there is fifteen yuan in my piggy bank. Can you sell it to me?”

It was only then that Ling Xi saw the little girl holding a golden piggy bank in her arms. Her heart softened and she wanted to touch her little face, but the girl was pulled into the arms of the man in an instant, making her touch empty space.

Seeing that he was so vigilant, Ling Xi pouted. “Alright, you don’t have to look as if the sky is falling. This gift is only ten yuan, it was just a little joke.”

The man’s horrified look finally converged back, he calmed down for a moment and then drew a stack of yuan out of his pocket, giving her ten. “Here you go.”

After that, the man pulled the little girl’s hand forward without looking back, but the little girl turned her head and smiled sweetly. “Auntie, thank you. Goodbye.”

Under the black mask, Ling Xi smiled without hesitating. This was a smile from the bottom of her heart… She gently waved her back.

And vaguely heard the man reprimanding the little girl, “Meng Meng, you’re not allowed to talk to strangers in the future, do you hear me?”

“Dad, but that auntie was very nice.”

“Will you be obedient or not?”

“Meng Meng will be obedient. ”

Turns out this lovely little girl was called ‘Meng Meng’! I hope to see you again in the future!
