Chapter 66 Beggar Gang
"Mickey, Mickey, come here. I can get a divorce tomorrow." Nina was so excited that she grabbed Michelle's hand and showed her the message. "I can finally divorce." Seeing that she was so happy, Michelle was also happy. She clapped her hands and said, "That's great. You don't have to be the wife of that man."
"Yes, that's great." Nina hugged Michelle tightly. This was the best news she had heard recently.
She laughed with excitement and there were tears of joy in her eyes.
Getting out of Nina's arms, Michelle laughed happily. "Wow, you can marry Uncle John very soon."
Uncle John... John...
The smile on Nina's face suddenly froze. She looked away, as if she didn't dare to look straight at Michelle's bright eyes.
John... Repeating John's name in her heart, Nina's stiff smile became gentle, and a hint of expectation flashed through her amber eyes.
However, her expectation was quickly blown away by the night wind outside.
"Nini, are you too happy to speak?" Michelle blinked and gently bumped Nina's body, as if she had already guessed that Nina would behave in this way. "No, I'm not." Nina denied, denying the previous excitement.
"Well, I don't believe you. You must be shy just now." Michelle raised her chin and began to poke Nina with her hand. The two girls poked each other and were having fun. They were so happy that they almost burst into tears.
On the early morning next day, Nina took out her identification and marriage certificate and put them in her bag. Thinking that she could register for divorce in the afternoon, she was in a good mood. There were still ten minutes left before the last class. At the same time, Nina took out her mobile phone and set up a small WeChat group. After pulling in Michelle and James, she thought for a while and named the group.
"Beggar Gang."
The reason why she named the group in this way was very simple. Michelle always felt that Nina was very poor and now Nina also had the same thought.
"I'll treat you two to lunch." Nina said in the group.
As soon as the message was sent out, James replied, "Gosh! How do you know I'm so poor that I'm going to beg for food in the street?"
Although his living expenses had raised to thirty thousand from three thousand, he was still was poor compared with the time when he could spend money at his will.
"Aunt Nina, from now on, you will be the leader of the beggar gang, and I will be the vice leader." James had been brainwashed by Michelle. They both thought that Nina was very poor, but they didn't dislike her.
The corners of Nina's mouth twitched. "Why am I the leader?"
James answered. "Because you are poor."
Nina paused for a moment. "Get out!"
James said, "You make me trembling. You are more and more like my uncle."
Nina was stunned. How did she look like John?
It could only be said that Nina and John both had a good-looking appearance. Except for this, she wasn't like him at all. Nothing else.
They had no connection at all.
"Mr. James, it can't be said that our Nini is poor. The beggar gang doesn't represent poverty. It's just that my parents are not at home." Michelle showed up and refuted James in a soft way, and then continued, "Nina is the leader and James is the vice leader, so what should I be?"
James said, "A little beggar."
Nina replied, "Don't listen to him. You are the apple of our eyes from now on."
James said, "The apple of the eyes of you and Uncle John?"
The two girls roared at the same time, "Get out!"
James felt that John didn't treat him very well, so he wanted to be important in Nina's heart in order to live a good life.
So he immediately fawned on her, "My sincere leader, where shall we meet at noon?"
Nina answered, "On the third floor of the canteen."
James was disappointed. "It's a rare chance for you to treat us to dinner. It's such a happy thing. Are you really going to the canteen?"
Nina replied, "We are the beggar gang."
Michelle said, "That's right. Nini can't spend money at will. Girls must save some money. Nini, you don't have to pay if not necessary. When I earn money in the future, I will take you out of the beggar gang. Let's go to the canteen."
James was speechless. When he only had three thousand dollars a month, he ate in the canteen every day. Now he had thirty thousand dollars a month, but he still had dinner in the canteen. How miserable he was.
But Michelle was right. He'd better save some money. What if he needed it one day?
He didn't expect that he, as the crown prince of the Shi family, had become a member of the beggar gang and would have to save money in case of need.
After class, Nina went to the Information School to wait for Michelle. Then they went to the third floor of the canteen, chose a small private room and ordered.
A message appeared in the WeChat group. James said that there was something urgent and he might be late. He asked them to eat slowly and wait for him. James came an hour later. When he arrived, there were only leftovers on the table.
"Didn't I tell you to eat slowly and wait for me? Why have you eaten up? You don't even leave me a mouthful of soup." Then he glanced at the five dishes and two large bowls on the table. They were all empty. "We did eat slowly, quite slowly." Michelle stood up. She was too full to digest.
Nina nodded. They really ate very slowly. The meal lasted from twelve o'clock to one o'clock, and now there was not even a person in the canteen.
Feeling disappointed, he asked, "What do you think I should eat?"
Nina stood up and patted on the shoulder of James heavily. She said seriously, "As the vice leader, it's time for you to show us the strength of the beggar gang."
"What strength?" When he heard this, he was confused and felt that Nina, who was laughing, seemed to have a bad idea.
And what was in her hand?
'A bowl?' With his eyes wide open, he wondered whether Nina wanted him to...
"Beg for food. It's time to show your ability to beg for food." Nina put the bowl in his hand and looked at him expectantly. This was really a heavy task.
James was speechless. He was petrified.
He couldn't accept it.
How could Nina ask him, the crown prince of the Shi family, to beg for food?
Beg for food? Beg!
At that time, he really wanted to smash the bowl on Nina, but he didn't dare to do so. There were two reasons. One was that he couldn't win against Nina, and the other was that John was in charge of his money.
'Oh my God! Is it Uncle John who sent her to torture me?'
Michelle ran over and teased him, "Go ahead, Mr. James. You will get a lot of money with your face."
"You....... You two..." James pointed at the two people in front of him, feeling like weeping but had no tears.
Looking at the frustrated James, the two of them snickered. Nina took back the bowl in James' hand and said with a smile, "Well, I'm just kidding. I'll invite you to have dinner outside." James felt touched.
"You are the best." A smile appeared on his face and he walked happily.
"Where have you been in the last hour?" Nina just asked casually.
"I went to the police station. When Uncle John came back last month, I was going to send a woman to the Four Seasons Garden Hotel. But that woman died yesterday. The police checked all the people that the woman had contacted for the last month, and then I was asked to go there to give a deposition."
Nina stopped and looked at James. She frowned and said, "Police station? A woman? A month ago? Four Seasons Garden Hotel?"
Was it Frances, the woman who died yesterday? ☐☐☐☐☐☐
