What woman doesn't like to hear nice things?

"What kind of work do you do in Ivory Mountain? Who else is in your family?"

Xiaoshuang's mother became interested.

I have a very good impression of the person in front of me.

"It can be considered an investment."

"Open your own factory?"

"Yes. It's a small factory, not worth mentioning."

Xu Hui said modestly.

“Okay, I’ll be my own boss. I don’t have to clock in and out on time. Like me, I own a laundromat and earn a living without any worries.”

"Auntie, I'm leaving now."

Xu Hui said.

"Okay, remember to come pick up your clothes tomorrow."

Xiao Shuang's mother said with a smile.

They escorted Xu Hui to the front gate.

Xu Hui returned to Ivory Mountain in high spirits, only to find that Xiao Shuang was lying; she didn't have a boyfriend at all.

but.

Xu Hui wanted to win over Xiao Shuang's mother, and the first step was to gain her approval.

I think this person is capable!

If there are difficulties, we must overcome them; if there are no difficulties, we must create difficulties and overcome them.

That night.

Something happened in the laundry room.

The store's customers' clothes were stolen, and even more than 1000 yuan in the drawer disappeared.

Xiao Shuang's mother was extremely anxious.

Select alarm!

Unfortunately, the store didn't have any security cameras installed, and even the police were disappointed when they went there.

Extremely tricky!

The money loss was over a thousand yuan, and the clothes would also be worth one or two thousand yuan if converted to cash.

Xiao Shuang's mother was extremely worried.

She was sobbing in the store, afraid that Xiaoshuang would worry and it would affect her work, so she didn't dare tell her daughter.

11 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Hui arrived at the laundromat on time.

They discovered that the glass door was broken, and Xiaoshuang's mother was cleaning up the trash.

"What's going on?"

Xu Hui asked in surprise.

last night.

It was Xu Hui who hired someone to do it; this was a way to get to know Xiao Shuang's mother better.

"You came?"

Xiao Shuang's mother panicked and didn't know how to explain.

It's unclear how much Xu Hui's clothes were worth, since he'll have to pay compensation.

"Yes, I've come to get my clothes."

Xu Hui said.

"I'm so sorry, my clothes were stolen, and I also lost more than a thousand yuan."

Xiao Shuang's mother said sadly.

Running this laundry shop is not easy for her. She works from dawn till dusk, and after deducting rent and other expenses, she only earns sixty or seventy yuan a day.

"It's lost? How did it get lost? Didn't you call the police?"

Xu Hui pretended to be concerned.

"I called the police, but they said there wasn't enough evidence and told me to wait for news."

Xiao Shuang's mother, her eyes red from crying, asked, "How much were your clothes? I'll pay for them."

"never mind."

Xu Hui shook his head. "You've suffered a significant loss this time."

"That won't do, you have to pay."

"Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Correct."

"Okay, two thousand three."

Xu Hui spoke frankly.

"..."

Upon hearing this number, Xiaoshuang's mother fell silent.

Surprised!

Is it really that expensive?

"Yes, I bought a Versace, it's genuine."

Xu Hui explained.

"Your clothes are a bit expensive."

Xiao Shuang's mother felt even worse.

They just said it was fine, but I insisted on paying. Who would have thought it would be so expensive?

It costs over 2300 yuan.

It was still a low-end Versace product; she didn't know whether to be glad Xu Hui hadn't bought the more expensive one.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll get you the change."

"Well, Auntie, you seem to be short on funds, let's talk about it another day!"

Xu Hui waved his hand.

"That won't do."

"Here's what we'll do. I have a friend's childhood friend who's involved in the underworld around Tieling. His name is Gangzi from Sima Road. I'll ask him about it in a bit. Maybe we can get our things back."

Xu Hui is just making this up.

"Can it really be found?"

Xiao Shuang's mother was overjoyed.

Their voices rose a few decibels.

"I can't say for sure, but I can give it a try."

Xu Hui explained, "But we can't tell the police about this. We should handle it discreetly. After all, it's not good to offend people in the underworld. There are rules in every profession. If they get arrested by the police, they might come back to retaliate against you and Xiao Shuang."

"Yes Yes."

After being startled like that, Xiaoshuang's mother nodded repeatedly.

Chapter 390 A Twist of Fate 4

4 pm.

Xu Hui returned to Xiao Shuang's mother's laundry shop and said that the goods and money had been found.

However, there are rules in this business, and the other party couldn't leave empty-handed, so they left 500 yuan in cash.

Not a moment.

Xiao Shuang's mother went to the designated location and picked up the goods.

These clothes are left here by customers to be washed. If they get lost, we'll lose repeat customers and won't be able to do business anymore.

“Count the cash. The missing 500 yuan should be left with the other party.”

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Shuang's mother was overjoyed.

She had over 1000 yuan in cash in her drawer. The other party left 500 yuan and even returned 700 or 800 yuan.
