Chapter 540 Wenbin Got Tricked (4)
After putting away the card, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng rested for a while. In the mid-afternoon, they entrusted the child to some elders and went to Shangguan Wenbin’s school.
Since their home was relatively close to Shangguan Wenbin’s school, Jiang Xue didn’t drive but walked directly with Mu Qiancheng.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at Shangguan Wenbin’s school. Since Shangguan Wenbin had no classes in the afternoon and was reading in the library, it took them some effort to find him.
Shangguan Wenbin, who was reading in the library, looked a bit displeased when he saw Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng approaching, especially when he saw Mu Qiancheng’s ambiguous smile.
Jiang Xue noticed Shangguan Wenbin’s discomfort and felt more inclined to believe what Mu Qiancheng had said. Little did she know, his discomfort was due to seeing Mu Qiancheng.
"Sis, brother-in-law, what brings you here?" Shangguan Wenbin put away his book and asked while leaving the library with them.
The library wasn’t a place for conversation, so the three of them found a small grove outside to sit down.
After sitting down, Jiang Xue looked at Shangguan Wenbin and asked, "Wenbin, you don’t look well, is something wrong?"
Still staring at Mu Qiancheng awkwardly, Shangguan Wenbin finally replied, "Sis, I’m fine!"
However, Jiang Xue didn’t believe Shangguan Wenbin and said, "Wenbin, if there’s anything, you must tell me. I couldn’t answer your call this morning. Your brother-in-law told me you’re short on money now."
"What?" Shangguan Wenbin looked at Jiang Xue in shock, then looked at Mu Qiancheng, and said, "When did I say I was short on money?"
"Sis, don’t listen to brother-in-law’s nonsense. I’m not short on money. I’m fine, don’t worry."
Before Jiang Xue could speak, Mu Qiancheng interjected, "Wenbin, I know you don’t want us to worry. But if you’re short on money, just say it. You spent a lot last time helping your sister buy a car. We brought it today, so we can pay you back. Of course, if it’s not enough, let us know, and we’ll pool some more together."
After Mu Qiancheng finished speaking, Jiang Xue chimed in, "Wenbin, your brother-in-law is right. How much do you still need? Just tell us, and we’ll lend it to you first."
"Sis, don’t listen to my brother-in-law, he’s talking nonsense. I’m not short on money, and you don’t need to pay back the car money, that’s a gift from me to you."
"Why are you like this, child? We’re not outsiders. I’m your sister, why would you worry about me knowing? Give me your card number, and I’ll transfer the money to you right away."
"Sis, really, there’s no need!" Seeing Jiang Xue was serious, Shangguan Wenbin quickly refused while glaring at Mu Qiancheng.
"Look at the trouble you’ve caused!"
"So what if I did, what can you do about it?"
The two exchanged a glance, not daring to let Jiang Xue notice. Afraid that if time dragged on, Jiang Xue would spot the issue, they quickly averted their eyes.
However, Shangguan Wenbin now understood that Mu Qiancheng was an exceptionally petty man. Just because he hadn’t given him the card number and was ready to report him for having private savings, he dug a pit for him; it was too much.
Seeing Shangguan Wenbin remain silent, Jiang Xue thought he was hesitant to give his card number. So she added, "Wenbin, if it’s not convenient for you, I’ll give you cash instead. But you’ll have to wait; I’ll go to withdraw it. By the way, is there a bank next to your school?"
