Chapter 1372: Chapter 1370: Take him along in 1369.

The plump lady was frightened by her, really dared not cry anymore, only murmured, “You’re bullying me, I’m going to tell my mom.”

Shang Jin mocked, “You’re so old, why do you always go to your mom when something happens? This kid didn’t even look for his mom, did he?”

Tan Rou’s eyes turned icy as she asked, “Have you figured out the amount? If you have, send me the payment code quickly, and I’ll transfer the money to you directly.”

“What payment code?” the plump lady asked confusedly, “Are you compensating me?”

Tan Rou almost forgot, not all countries use payment codes; some are accustomed to cash, others to bank cards, and domestically, QR codes are still more prevalent.

“Cash,” Tan Rou said. “Figure out how much you want, and I’ll immediately exchange it into your country’s currency for you.”

The plump lady said rudely, “This piece of bread costs one hundred dollars, hurry up and give it to me!”

Shang Jin was shocked by her words. “A hundred dollars? You might as well rob a bank, it’s faster that way!”

The plump lady still insisted, “That’s the amount, you have to give it whether you want to or not.”

Shang Jin didn’t want to give her that much money because she felt the red bread wasn’t worth that much.

But Tan Rou agreed to give her one hundred dollars. Tan Rou smiled and said, “I thought it was a lot of money, but it’s only a hundred dollars. I usually spend more than that on a bottle of water. However, I didn’t bring any dollars with me, and this airport should have a currency exchange. I’ll go and get a hundred for you right away.”

The plump lady didn’t believe Tan Rou had money, as Tan Rou looked thin and frail and wore very ordinary clothes, didn’t wear expensive jewelry, and only had a broken necklace. She certainly couldn’t be wealthy.

Tan Rou wore only one necklace, which Zhuang Liu had given her. He had made it by hand, not from an expensive luxury brand, and it was quite crudely made, but it meant a lot, so Tan Rou had never taken it off.

In fact, Tan Rou didn’t show off her wealth because she had put away her luxurious items; after all, she was traveling far and to a country with not very good public safety, so it was better to keep a low profile.

“You’re not planning to run away, are you?” the plump lady speculated. “Could it be that you can’t afford a hundred dollars and you want to run away while exchanging the money?”

“Ha!” Shang Jin said, “Who cares about that hundred dollars? If you think we will run away, we can leave someone here with you, how about that?”

The plump lady agreed to this, but she insisted that Tan Rou go to exchange the money while Shang Jin stayed with her.

Tan Rou could almost understand why the plump lady arranged it this way because she had been fierce to her earlier. The plump lady was definitely afraid, so she didn’t dare let her stay.

“Hmm.” Tan Rou told Shang Jin, “I’ll go exchange the money and also look for the airport manager. This airport is privately owned, and things would be a lot easier if I could contact the manager.”

Shang Jin nodded and said, “Okay, go exchange the money. I’ll contact Lang Yue to see where he’s gone, and ask him to process the transfer procedures. Why hasn’t he come back yet?”

Tan Rou glanced at Agila and said, “Keep an eye on this little boy, don’t let him get lost.”

Shang Jin felt Tan Rou was a bit too compassionate, “Tan Rou, all the trouble today was caused by him, and you still want to keep him?”

“Yes.” Tan Rou’s tone was very firm, “He reminds me of my little brother when I was young.”

The first time she met Tao Qi, he was only ten years old, about the same age as Agila. So Tan Rou couldn’t bear to see such a young child wandering around the airport. An orphanage or a juvenile detention center would be better, where there’s food, drink, and schooling, and no need to steal.

“Alright, since you insist on bringing him along, I’ll keep an eye on him,” Shang Jin said. “Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone bully him.”

After Tan Rou left, Agila kept looking toward where Tan Rou had gone, his look filled with reluctance.

Shang Jin saw his expression and thus said to the translator, “Stop looking, she’s gone to exchange money to pay the compensation to you.”

The translator relayed her words to Agila, who nodded and said, “Thank you.”
