The uncle in the raincoat angrily scolded: “Qin Yun, you boy, don’t have a conscience. Why are you running when you see me? I thought I recognized the wrong person.”
The person who spoke was a relative of the old Qin family who was doing business near Qinhuai Street.
When Qin Yun saw this person, he immediately jumped up and wanted to speak. Qin Hongfei grabbed him and gave him a warning look to shut up!
This uncle was not a generous person at first glance.
What will he say, he thought he was a ghost?!
She guessed he would bear a grudge.
“Uncle, my brother was worried about me because he saw that we hadn’t come back home late at night, so he came to find me.” Qin Hongfei said, “It’s raining late at night, why are you here instead of going home?” She was puzzled.
“Oh, I forgot about the important business. Come on… Something happened in your store.” The uncle shouted anxiously, “I don’t know how two thieves appeared in your store. They were going to steal things from Boss Zhang’s store, but they were discovered…”
Thieves?! Two?
Qin Hongfei’s first reaction was Tang Jinnan and Shou.
She hurried to the store. Although it was raining heavily, there were many people gathered in front of the store.
Boss Zhang called a group of people to confront one person. Looking up closely, it was no other than Shou!
“You ran to the roof of my store in the middle of the night and said you didn’t want to steal things from my store… Who would believe it?” Boss Zhang’s excited voice resounded.
“Steal things, steal the pile of copper and iron in your store?” Shou’s tone was very annoying, which successfully angered the people around him, and he looked like he was going to fight.
Qin Hongfei saw this and didn’t care about the heavy rain, and quickly got into the crowd: “Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood, they are not thieves.”
Uncle Zhang and his group frowned when they saw Qin Hongfei: “Why, do you know them?”
Qin Hongfei couldn’t say that they were picked up on the street, so she nodded calmly and said: “I know them, they are distant relatives I brought back, and they won’t steal things, I guess there is some misunderstanding. Where is Tang Xiaojin?”
This question was asked to Shou.
Shou’s eyes were a little unfriendly when he heard her address.
Is she someone she can call Tang Xiaojin?
But when he met Qin Hongfei’s eyes and looked at her figure standing in front of him, he moved his lips and said: “On the roof.”
Qin Fei asked puzzled: “What is he doing on the roof?”
Shou was more depressed than them: “I don’t know…”
Qin Hongfei was also puzzled. Is there any treasure on the roof?
She looked up at the roof and didn’t see Tang Jinnan’s figure.
Boss Zhang said in a loud voice: “Even if he is a distant relative, why would he go to the roof of my shop? Isn’t he after the things in my shop? Hongfei, even if this is the person you brought back, he may have been hanging out with you, but who knows if he is clean? Do you dare to vouch for him? What if something is lost in my shop? Will you take responsibility?”
Shou looked at the man with great displeasure.
Steal his things?
Who was he insulting for stealing things?
But he was too lazy to explain.
Qin Hongfei was silent. The heavy rain wet her long hair, sticking to her face. To be honest, she hadn’t known these two people for a long time, so she did not know their specific characters, but… Qin Hongfei thought of Tang Jinnan’s clear eyes, and said lightly: “The person hasn’t come down yet, so I don’t know the details…”
Boss Zhang said, “Don’t talk about useless things. If he steals something how about you……”
“You guarantee for him……”
“In the future, we will meet each other every day, so how about this, you guarantee him, and if he steals, you sell your store to me.”
