Good Morning, Mister Dragon! (WN)
chapter-290

“I wanted to beg them to let me take the young master home first because I’m worried that his condition will worsen due to the trauma, and I planned to call you afterward. But I never expected these people to be impossible to reason with. They stopped me from taking the young master home and kept humiliating us.” As Aunt Zhang spoke, tears trickled down her cheeks.

“Hehe. This lady is your young mistress, and that kid is your young master. Are you rich folks coming to this crappy place to experience how poor people live? Cut the crap. He broke my car. If you take him home, who am I going to get my money from? He destroyed my stuff, so he should compensate me. This is how the world works!” Knowing that the law was on his side, the man was not going to let it slide no matter what.

“I’ll pay for the repairs. I’m his older sister. But you have to let me take my younger brother home first!” Su Qianxun helped Su Jiye to get onto his feet and stared at the man with a cold, calm look in her eyes.

“Cut the crap. If I don’t get the money now, none of you get to leave. He destroyed my headlights. The paint around it is ruined, and I will need to replace the sheet metal too. I’ll need at least three hundred thousand RMB to fix my car! I’m not extorting you guys. Take a good look. This is no ordinary car!” The man walked over to his vehicle and knocked forcefully on it.

“What? Three hundred thousand RMB to fix a car? Why don’t you just rob a bank?” Aunt Zhang panicked.

“What do you know about cars, old hag? If you don’t pay today, I’ll report you to the police and put this psycho in jail!” The man pointed at Su Jiye.

Su Qianxun instantly stood between her younger brother and the man. She said, “Fine. I’ll compensate you. Three hundred thousand RMB it is. Give me one night. I’ll hand you the money tomorrow morning.”

Aunt Zhang was taken aback by her promise. She called out anxiously, “Young mistress!”

“No, you have to pay now!”

“We are really short on cash at the moment. You know where we live, so it’s not like we can escape. Just give me one night, and I will pay you the full amount!” There was a very determined look in Su qianxun’s eyes

The man was suddenly at a loss for words.

The bystanders began to speak up for Su Qianxun as well, saying that they could bear witness to the agreement so that Su qianxun could not break her promise.

The man could only agree to it. He had also realized that he would not be able to get any money today. Besides, he only needed one hundred and fifty thousand to fix the headlight and repair the car. He would not lose anything if he received three hundred thousand RMB tomorrow.

“I’ll come over to collect the money tomorrow morning. If I don’t get the full amount, I’ll call the police on this psycho.”

The man drove away. The crowd dispersed as well. Su Qianxun’s body was tense and stiff. She turned and put her arms around her younger brother. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, “Jiye is not a psycho. Jiye is not a psycho at all. Our Jiye is a good boy, the best, most well-behaved child… Don’t be afraid. I’m taking you home.”

Su Qianxun’s heart was aching terribly. Her younger brother had now occupied the most sensitive and vulnerable spot in her heart. A mere nudge would pain her and push her to the breaking point…

After they went home, Su Qianxun cooked some dumplings for her younger brother. Su Jiye refused to eat, so she spoon-fed him.

Aunt Zhang was genuinely anxious. Three hundred thousand RMB was a ridiculous amount of money to them. ‘Where on earth can we get this sum of money at a time like this?’

Every time she wanted to talk about this, Su Qianxun signaled her to keep quiet for the time being.

After Su Qianxun fed Su Jiye his dinner, she helped him to wash himself up and read him a bedtime story before heading back to the living room.

Once Aunt Zhang saw her walk out of the room, she immediately stood up worriedly. “Young mistress, what do we do? How on earth we’re going to find such a large sum of money?”

“I’ll settle the issue. You take good care of Jiye. I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”

Su Qianxun turned around to glance at her younger brother’s room door before she bit the bullet and immediately left.

Even though her younger brother was suffering and she was unwilling to leave him, reality and life were harsh. She could only force herself to stride out of the door. She could not even take one more look at him.

Su Qianxun hesitated for a long time, but she eventually called Long Sijue on the phone. However, she was not able to reach him.

She called Jin Garden. The butler said he did not know Long Sijue’s whereabouts as well. Su Qianxun felt rather anxious for some reason.
