Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 32 Behind the Coldness
Jiang Mo squatted down and began to pick up the clothes, cosmetics and some small items scattered on the ground with extremely slow movements.

She stopped several times, just stood there with her hands stretched out, and then it took a long time before she continued to clean up.

Zhou Wang subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but after taking a few steps closer, he remembered his current situation and stopped.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Wang took out his mobile phone and searched for the name "Jiang Yunfei".

There were many people with the same name on the web page, but Zhou Wang quickly found this person in the local news.

"Fund-raising fraud", "the amount involved is tens of millions", "the first instance verdict is 13 years in prison"...

Just by taking a quick glance and seeing those key words, and then connecting what he had seen and heard during these two times, Zhou Wang roughly understood what was going on.

The earliest news was from last year, which means Jiang Mo’s father had been in prison for a long time.

At this time, Jiang Mo had finally packed up the things on the ground. She didn't know if it was because she had few things to begin with or if she didn't take everything, but she was obviously a girl, but all her clothes were packed into one suitcase.

Jiang Mo stood up slowly, took out a tissue and a handheld mirror from the YSL bag she was carrying, and carefully wiped the tear marks from her face.

After doing all this, Jiang Mo dragged the suitcase past Zhou Wang and slowly walked out.

Seeing that she really wasn't aware of his presence, Zhou Wang didn't deliberately keep a distance from her, but just walked silently beside her.

In fact, up to now, Zhou Wang still hasn't figured out what he should do in this hidden round, but the status of the system interface has always been "round in progress", so he decided to wait and see.

Soon, the two of them walked out of the community gate one after the other. Jiang Mo stopped on the side of the road. At this time, her empty expression finally regained some vitality.

Jiang Mo took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and made a voice call.

Zhou Wang was standing next to her and could clearly see that the contact’s nickname was a string of nonsense English words, but there was a bracket at the end that said “Sisi”.

The voice call lasted for a long time before it was connected. A female voice that sounded a bit disgusting came from the other end: "Dear, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

"Sisi...is it convenient for me to stay at your place for a few days?"

Jiang Mo asked in a low voice.

"Ah, this may not be convenient for me... Um, is there something wrong?"

"I, my house...is leaking, and the property management...they said it will take several days to repair it, so..."

Jiang Mo obviously had no experience in lying and spoke haltingly. Zhou Wang felt anxious for her when he heard her.

"Oh, that's it, but I really can't seem to help you. My boyfriend is coming over these few days... I'm sorry, baby, how about I book a hotel for you?"

"Then...then no need, I can order it myself."

"Okay, then Ji Mei, you must take good care of yourself when you live outside alone. Remember to check if there are any cameras, and also..."

Then Sisi talked a lot, but Jiang Mo was obviously absent-minded.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mo's fingers slid through the address book again, but it seemed that she had no other friend except "Sisi". Except for a brief pause on the name "Ding Yi", she did not make a second call even after scrolling all the way to the end.

Zhou Wang took the opportunity to glance at her "127 friends". Wow, it was even more exaggerated than the "253 friends" of a lonely male college student like me. To Zhou Wang's surprise, Jiang Mo actually clicked into the chat box with him, but she didn't mean to call him. Instead, she clicked into the "Contacts" interface and her finger stayed on the "Delete" key for a while.

"?"

Zhou Wang couldn't understand or figure out what the connection was between her being homeless and deleting her friends?
But Jiang Mo didn't really delete Zhou Wang in the end. She just stared at the last sentence Zhou Wang sent her, "Did something happen?" for a while.

Then Jiang Mo exited the "Contacts" interface and slid to the "Wallet" interface.

Zhou Wang saw that her total balance was only more than 300 yuan. Just when Zhou Wang was thinking that this was just WeChat, she opened the CCB app again. There was quite a lot of money on it, more than 80,000 yuan, but there was a bright red "judicial freeze" in the lower right corner.

Jiang Mo pursed her lips, then put away her phone and walked forward dragging her suitcase. She seemed to have a clear destination and her pace was much faster than before.

Zhou Wang followed her curiously and came to a store called "Hongxing Consignment Store".

"Ms. Jiang, what are you going to do this time?"

The man sitting behind the counter with a gold chain seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Mo. As soon as she walked in, the man asked with a smile.

Jiang Mo hesitated briefly, then took off the YSL shoulder bag from her shoulder and put it on the counter. "How much is this bag?"

Zhou Wang suddenly realized at this moment that it was no wonder that Jiang Mo had never changed her bag every time he met her. It turned out... this should be the only bag she had left.

The man was obviously disappointed. After taking it and looking at it casually for a few times, he said, "I'll give you 1800."

"what?"

Jiang Mo showed an expression of disbelief, "When I bought it, it was close to 20,000, and before that..."

"Come on, Ms. Jiang, luxury goods are different from each other. This is not the Hermès or YSL you brought before. New products should be cut in half. Besides, you have used this bag for at least one or two years, and the edges and corners are worn out."

The man kept shaking his head. "I'm only giving you 1800 because you're an old customer. I can't give you a cent more. If you don't believe me, you can go to other stores and ask."

Jiang Mo opened her mouth and fell silent, with only her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"How about it? Do you want to sell it or not?"

“…I’m not selling it anymore.”

Jiang Mo said these words with great difficulty, grabbed the bag on the counter, turned around and left, her movements were flustered, as if she was avoiding something.

"Hey, Miss Jiang!"

The man suddenly stopped her and said, "If you are really short of money, consider the way I told you last time. It makes money really quickly and you don't have to sacrifice anything. You can contact me on WeChat anytime when you have made up your mind!"

Jiang Mo's body stiffened visibly for a moment, and then he quickly walked out of the store.

After turning the corner and arriving at an empty area, Jiang Mo suddenly stopped. She was breathing rapidly. After a while, she squatted down with her arms around her shoulders and buried her head. There was no sound, only her body shaking slightly.

Zhou Wang also squatted down nearby, feeling a little complicated.

Is this what the system calls “peek into the truth”?
My mission is actually to explore the other side of Jiang Mo, this cold and aloof sister?
