My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 131 Venus' s fighting back (2)

Seeing that Venus Mu ignored her, Xinyou Qiao angrily took her coffee cup and went to the tea room, only then did Venus turn her head to look at her back. Just then, Xinyou’ s phone rang…

Acting almost subconsciously, Venus reached for the phone on her desk, an unfamiliar number.

Looking at the blurred figure in the tea room, Venus answered the phone.

“Hello? Is that Miss Qiao?”

Venus lowered her voice, “Yes, please”

“I’m ready for what you’ve asked for last time. When can we meet?”

Venus’ s heart was beating fast, for this was the first time she had done something like this, and inevitably she was a little nervous. Her intuition was telling her that what this man was saying must be related to her.

“Tomorrow, ten o’clock in the morning, Yieen Café.” Venus pretended to be calm.

“Good, remember to bring the cash I asked for. Cash on delivery.”

“Okay, see you soon.”

Hanging up the phone, Venus copied his number on a piece of paper and then quickly deleted the incoming call and put the phone back on her desk.

After finishing all this, Xinyou just happened to come out of the room, but Venus’s heart was still beating fast.

“Venus…”

“Huh?” Venus’ s voice was a little off-key, “What?”

“You just said to order takeout, order one for me.” One co-worker said.

Venus was relieved, “Okay, okay.”

Venus was almost scared to death, tapping her chest. She thought she had been discovered.

Xinyou came over and stared at her. Venus silently covered that phone number on the table, and continued drawing as if nothing had happened, but she was thinking.

What if the man on the phone had seen Xinyou when she pretended to be Xinyou for her appointment?

She couldn’t care so much.

Wait, the money, how much was it?

First, she needed to check the balance in her card.

Before Tianye Mu disappeared, he would give her a generous living expense every month, and fortunately, she was not an extravagant person, so she barely supported herself for more than half a year.

After entering her account number and password on the online bank…

Gosh, she’s only got 13,000 yuan left.

She didn’t know whether it’s enough. She should have just asked how much it was.

Forget it, take it all out first.

When it was almost the time to leave, Venus walked into the manager’s office, “Miss. He, I have to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow morning, can I take a half day off?”

“Sure.” Meiling He buried herself in work, her voice clear and cold.

“Thank you, Miss. He.”

The next morning, after waiting for both Kerry Ye and Xinyou to enter the company, she turned back and slowly walked to the side of the road. She stopped a taxi and headed to the Café.

It was now 8:30 in the morning, an hour and a half before the appointed time. Venus went to the bank to withdraw all the money and then walked to a shopping mall near the Café and in the bathroom, she tied up her hair to cover half of her face, with a heavy makeup, and put on the big sunglasses and hat she had prepared.

After three or four years of staying with Xinyou, her appearance and voice couldn’t be more familiar. After Venus did all this, she really looked like Xinyou, except the nose and mouth.

It was almost time, and \ Venus entered the Café early.

“My surname is Qiao. I have an appointment with a gentleman, and when he comes later, please bring him to the seat.”

The waiter answered, “Yes, ma’am.”

With slow steps, Venus took a seat in a relatively closed corner. The light was a little dim, but she needed it.

Approaching ten o’clock, Venus’ s heart was beating faster and she couldn’t help but feel that it did take a strong heart to be the bad guy, or else she’d be scared to death first.

Ordering a cup of coffee to calm down, she found she was the only customer in the morning. The pleasant music was echoing in the air, extraordinarily tranquil.

Once past 10, Venus saw the waiter brought a man in, who was tall and thin, with a pair of balck glasses. His hair was in a mess, as if he hadn’t gotten enough sleep. He was wearing a white and blue T-shirt, a pair of sandals, with a briefcase in hand.

An IT guy.

She quickly calmed down as she realized that the man didn’t know Xinyou.

“Miss Qiao? What a pretty lady.” The man bent over to look at her before sitting down and said to the waiter, “Mocha, please.”

“Where’s the stuff I want?” Venus tried to speak in a soft voice and asked very calmly.

The man patted the bag in his hand and was very proud, “Don’t worry, it’s all here. Where’s my money?”

Venus also pointed to the handbag beside her and said deliberately, “The price...”

When the man heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy and stared her up and down once and said, “Miss Qiao, I don’t think you’re short of money and my offer of five thousand is already very low. If you go back on your word now, I’ll leave immediately.”

“No, no, I didn’t mean that.” As soon as Venus heard five thousand yuan, she was happy, for she thought it was quite cheap, “You haven’t had enough sleep lately, right? You must have been exhausted for a while, and I wanted to give you some extra. Since you said so, then I...”

The man’s expression was a little chagrined. Had he known she meant it, he wouldn’t have been so rude. He handed the bag, saying, “Here you are.”

Venus reached over and took a quick scan, inside was a paper bag that seemed to wrap a stack of photos. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It wasn’t appropriate to look at them on this occasion, so Venus put the bag away and took five thousand dollars out of her own bag, “Count it.”

The man happily took the money and weighed it, and said quickly, “No need to count it. I believe you.”
