Chapter 96: The Miserable Loser Girl

  New Alice's Home

  Tong Mai rolled his eyes and looked around, "Seems pretty good..."

  "Yes, Sister Wheat... isn't this place much better than where we used to live?" Before it was a 100 ping house, now it's been exchanged for a 1,000 ping one, enough space for the kids to play and also enough room to take in more orphans."

  "Unexpectedly, Huo Yize this bastard still has a bit of humanity. Yeah, making so much money and not contributing at all, giving back to society, is that even possible?"

  Tong Mai's lips finally curled up into a faint smile, although it wasn't the same as before. But compared to before, it was better. She had also settled her old scores with Huo Yize. All she hoped for now was that there wouldn't be any more entanglements in the future.

  "Wheat sister, let's play eagle catching chick again, this time... I want to be the eagle, okay? Wheat sister... you be the little chicken," The children of Elisa's house were very affectionate towards Tong Mai, surrounding her in a circle.

  "It's the old eagle catching little chicken again, how boring. How about we try something new? The grass in our yard is a bit long, why don't we have a contest to see who can pull it out faster and more, next time... whoever loses will be the eagle head."

  Tong Mai started mobilizing the children to work together. Among the group of kids, she was a child king, a mischievous yet upward-striving child king.

  "Oh... okay, has the competition started? I'm going to get first place."

  "I also want to get first place,"

  ……

  Among the hustle and bustle, the children started doing things with great enthusiasm.

  The principal felt greatly comforted every time he saw Tong Mai and the children getting along well and educating them through games.

  "Wheat, this is ten million, last time Mr. Ding came back, it belongs to you, take it yourself," the principal handed the check to Tong Mai.

  Tong Mai didn't expect that Huo Yize not only arranged a place for Elisa's family to live, but also left them with 10 million. Although this wasn't anything significant, after all, the extent of Huo Yize's wealth was beyond everyone's imagination. However, Tong Mai still had a slightly improved impression of him.

  "Director, since I've already given this money to Elisa's home, it won't be taken back. Let it stay here and use it when Elisa's home needs it."

  She loves money, is greedy for wealth, but sometimes she looks at this thing called money in a particularly open-minded way. This one million... to her, it's a considerable sum of money, and she can use it to do many things. But this one million was exchanged for with her body, and the meaning is different from earning it with her own two hands through hard work. If she uses it, her heart won't feel at ease.

  "This won't do, it's too much," the dean pushed back.

  "Director, don't decline anymore. I'm also a child of Alice's House. Doing something for you doesn't need to weigh on your mind. Besides, this money is for these children, so just accept it on their behalf." Tong Mai rarely spoke seriously, and most importantly, only in Alice's House could she feel the warmth of home...

  "After turning for so long, how come we still haven't arrived? Can you even drive? Useless thing," Old Lady Hu was yelling non-stop in the car. She had little patience and a quick temper. Having sat in the car for so long, she couldn't bear the waist and back pain anymore."

  "Old lady, let's go back, the car ride seems a bit far,"

  From the villa area, bypassing the city, to another suburb, it's not far, the housekeeper knew that Mrs. Huo was impatient and had advised her not to come early, but she insisted on coming...

  "Shut up! We've come all this way, and now you want to go back? Is that possible?" Old Lady Huo's face turned slightly red with anger.

  The driver was even more frightened, if Tong Xiaomai was still at Elisa's house, it would be fine, but if not... he was dead for sure, just waiting to be drowned by Old Lady Huo's saliva.

  "Bye bye... Little Wheat Sister..."

  The children reluctantly said goodbye to Tong Mai with a wave of their hands.

  "Goodbye, I'll come back to see you all after a while. You must listen to the principal and study hard..." She reminded them in a very adult-like tone.

  Spending the whole day wandering around, her heart couldn't help but feel empty. Tong Mai's feet walked mechanically down this alley, aimlessly walking, just like her life... seemed to be losing direction more and more. A young woman without a job, how " decadent" she had become.

  All dreams, all enthusiasm... seemed to have been worn away by continuous failures, without a single bit left.

  And she even used to be a condom saleswoman...

  As soon as he thought of it, Tong Mai's face couldn't help but flush red and feel hot.

  "No way, starting tomorrow, I must muster up the energy to find a new job. I won't believe that I can't find one. I have to be confident and not give up," muttered to himself, shouting out a few slogans, Tong Mai seemed to have gained some momentum, his footsteps quickening involuntarily...

  Mrs. Ho looked around with a pair of eyes as the car entered the small path to Elisa's house, "What a terrible place, awful."

  She was fine, but in her eyes, everything was terrible.

  "Oh my, oh my... Quick, quick, quick... Isn't that girl in front the dead girl? Hurry up and drive the car to her front and block her," Old Lady Huo was so excited when she saw Tong Mai's figure, it was indescribable, her mouth was curved into a smile that couldn't be closed.

  The driver also noticed it and indeed it was the lady they saw that day.

  It's great, in her heart she was shouting "good", if she hadn't seen her, and let Old Lady Huo return empty-handed, she wouldn't have made a big fuss for nothing.

  A sudden screeching sound rang in Tong Mai's ears, and her bright eyes glanced at the luxury car parked in front of her, feeling surprised and a little intimidated...

  In such a scenario, it's easy to think of "kidnapping" and "extortion", but she is neither a rich girl nor a wealthy person, what's the point of extorting her? Even if they want to "kidnap" someone, they should kidnap Yin Yuqi instead.

  She was certain that if she were kidnapped... her fate would be only one, which is to be torn apart, and no one would save her.

  Thinking of this, Tong Mai has already gathered his strength and is running back and forth with all his might.

  Ya Ya's, she was just this kind of miserable and poor girl, had just made up her mind, from tomorrow on, start a new life, didn't think that the next second, wouldn't let her live...

  "Halt, you little scamp, halt!"

  Later came the voice of Old Lady Huo, and she was leaning on a cane, her plump figure swaying back and forth as she followed behind Tong Mai.

  "Old lady, slow down a bit, be careful not to fall," the housekeeper shouted anxiously from behind. Who would have thought that although Old Lady Huo usually needed a walking stick, she could still walk quite quickly?

  "Useless thing, not even giving me a chase, what's with the nonsense in the back?" Old Lady Hu was really infuriated by this group of servants, but she still persisted in chasing after Tong Mai.

  Dead girl...... Old lady...... Plus familiar voices,

  Tong Mai finally knew who it was.

  No need to run, it's not a kidnapper, but a wife coming to attack...

  Tong Mai suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around,

  Mrs. Huo was rushing forward with all her might, but didn't expect Tong Mai to suddenly stop in his tracks. Due to inertia, she charged forward and bounced back, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, the driver and the butler caught her just in time, saving her from a humiliating fall.

  "You... you dead girl, suddenly stopped and didn't make a sound, have you become mute?"

  The golden-rimmed glasses on her face were crooked, and Old Lady Huo quickly straightened them, her voice thundering in his ears.

  "You told me to stop, so I stopped. Who knew you'd still come at me," Tong Mai said nonchalantly, casting a disdainful glance at Old Lady Huo.

  Even Old Lady Huo, who was usually so eloquent, was left speechless by her counter-questioning, only panting heavily, her face turning alternately pale and purple, looking extremely ugly.

  The young wheat glanced at the driver and butler behind her, guessing, "Old lady, did you come all the way to find me? I don't know if you want to wave your stick at me again or send me to the police station. Let me tell you, my evidence is still on my back."

  "Cough...cough..."

  Mrs. Huo disdainfully shook off the two clumsy men behind her, cleared her throat, "Let's just forget about last time, I'm a magnanimous person, I won't bother with a little brat like you, today... I came to give you a way to get rich," The last sentence was whispered very secretly into Tong Mai's ear, with an evil tone.

  Mrs. Huo was not very willing to get close to people, and at the same time, she was annoyed with Tong Mai, this dead girl, but surprisingly, she didn't particularly reject getting close to her, which even she herself hadn't discovered.

  "What's up with you,"

  Tong Mai was shocked, his face full of incredulity.

  She believed that Old Lady Hu was absolutely capable of guiding her to wealth, but this young lady wasn't interested.

  "Hmm..." Old Lady Hu nodded arrogantly, intentionally drawing out the tone, "How about it, want to listen?"

  "No," Tong Mai thought for a moment and immediately refused.

  Just because she is He Yize's grandmother, she has tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and is unwilling to have anything to do with her...

  Moreover, she came to find her, and was worried about her.

  "No, really, I heard you didn't have a job. Have you found one recently?" She had clearly done her research before coming, and at this time of day, anyone with a job would be at work. The fact that she was out alone made it clear that she was still unemployed.

  "It's none of your business whether I find a job or not, and as for getting rich, you'd better keep that to yourself, I'm not interested in knowing," said Tong Mai, ready to leave.

  With people like them... she'd rather avoid them if possible.

  "Not allowed," Old Lady Hu grasped her sleeve tightly, not letting her leave.

  "My business isn't finished yet, how can you be so rude to turn around and leave like that? This road to wealth... even if you don't want to go, you have to go, catch her,"

  The housekeeper and driver listened to the order, and quickly "pinched" Tong Mai. Of course, Tong Mai was also quite surprised. What was this old woman going to do next? Otherwise, how could they have "pinched" her?

  "Tell me, what's your get-rich-quick scheme? Don't you know that doing this is really annoying and infuriating?" She had always been straightforward and blunt, never saying anything that didn't reflect her true feelings...
