Chapter 841: Win the Grand Prize (5)
Nowadays, a small car costs tens of thousands; that’s a huge sum of money. Liu Mei, who has no shame or scruples, was quick to abandon Xiu Xi for adoption back then only because she didn’t want to pay for his medical expenses. Now that she sees him winning such a car prize, she’s bound to raise hell.
Although they signed an agreement back then, that woman wouldn’t care about that if it meant getting her hands on some money. There was no need to stir up such trouble.
Ruan Jianguo hadn’t thought of this possibility, but upon hearing it, he turned to Xiu Xi and said, "Xiaoxi, how about Uncle take possession of the car on your behalf for now? You can trust me, Uncle will definitely not embezzle it."
Of course, Xiu Xi trusted him and nodded.
To celebrate this unexpected windfall, Ruan Jianguo, playing the big spender, waved his hand magnanimously and took a few people out to a restaurant for a good meal before sending the youngsters back to the dormitory they’d arranged for them to sleep.
Xiu Xi was a bit reluctant to leave, wanting to stay with Ruan Jiaojiao. However, since Ruan Jianguo and the others only booked three rooms, there was no room for him, so he had to follow Ruan Lei to the dormitory with no other choice.
The dormitory was the bunk-bed type, with sixteen beds in one room.
Ruan Lei slept on the lower bunk, while Xiu Xi slept on the upper bunk. In the middle of the night, Ruan Lei felt the person above tossing and turning non-stop. At first, he tried to ignore it, but he couldn’t stand it anymore and stretched his foot to kick Xiu Xi’s bed plank.
Then, Ruan Lei saw a pair of green eyes peering out from the bunk above. In the dark night, those eyes glowed eerily green, sending shivers down his spine.
He instantly became fearful, patting his plump arms, his voice lacking confidence as he asked, "Xiu Xi, why aren’t you asleep yet? Can’t you sleep because of the big prize?"
