Chapter 158 - 159 Relatives Arrive (1)
Lou Xi had no intention of lying flat on the bed for Qin Mobai to enjoy. As for the money, Lou Xi turned around and threw the check into Qin Mobai’s study. She had no interest in spending Mi Beier’s money!
After hanging up the phone, Lou Xi was planning to take a good rest, but as soon as she finished eating sushi, her phone rang.
Thinking it was Qin Mobai calling, she looked at the incoming call and realized it wasn’t.
"Hello?" Lou Xi answered the phone, wondering who it could be. Was it another relative of Qin Mobai planning to send money?
"Sis, it’s me. Come save us. We’ve lost our wallets and IDs, and the police are holding us..."
"Lou Nan? Where are you?" Lou Xi stood up from the chair all of a sudden, standing so quickly that she felt a pain in her thigh.
"Sis, please come quickly. I don’t dare to call Mom and Dad."
"Aren’t you at home? How do I get there? The fastest flight takes two hours!"
"I’m at the Nancheng Railway Station."
...
Lou Xi felt overwhelmed, quickly changed her clothes, and took a taxi there.
All the way, she thought of various possibilities—Lou Nan quarreled with the parents, so she came to Nancheng. Or maybe she simply wanted to come and play...
But Lou Xi never imagined that Lou Nan, who was in her third year of high school, actually ran away to Nancheng with her middle school friend! That boy looked like a young rebel, with a head of golden hair, wearing a T-shirt and ripped jeans.
When Lou Xi saw Lou Nan, she realized she looked completely different from when she saw her during the New Year.
Lou Xi was working during the summer, so she didn’t go back home.
Unexpectedly, in half a year, Lou Nan had completely changed her look!
Long curly chestnut hair, matching couple’s T-shirt with that boy, denim shorts, five or six ear piercings, wearing cheap earrings.
Seeing Lou Xi, Lou Nan seemed to gain some confidence and immediately stood up from the ground, trying to run towards Lou Xi.
A policeman immediately barked, "Go back and squat there!"
Startled by the shout, Lou Nan froze for a moment but quickly retorted, "Someone’s here to bail us out! My sis is a top student at South City University!"
Lou Xi: "..." She looked awkwardly at the police officer, "Officer, I’m Lou Nan’s sister. What happened to her?"
"Disturbing public order, subject to detention of less than fifteen days and a two hundred fine!"
"Sis, I didn’t do it, those people stole our wallets. If they keep this up, I’ll post this on Weibo and make them famous!" Lou Nan wasn’t afraid to escalate the situation.
"Okay, stop talking!" Lou Xi noticed the police were already frowning. If Lou Nan kept speaking, it might not be just a simple detention.
Lou Nan glared at Lou Xi, pulled her hand away, "I knew I’m not one’s child; you don’t care about me. I’m going to call Mom and Dad now..."
"When did I ever say I won’t care about you? And don’t call Mom and Dad to worry them!"
"Well, I don’t want to be detained, I don’t want to be here." Lou Nan’s tone was as if she owned the place, doing as she pleased.
Lou Xi took a deep breath and asked the policeman, "How much is the fine if we don’t want to be detained?"
"Five thousand per person."
"Ten thousand isn’t much!" Lou Nan said indifferently.
"I only have five thousand, and I’ll only bail you out!" Lou Xi said coldly.
