Sweet Pet 100%: Seizing Love in Progress

Chapter 690 Nine Lives (8)

After another two days, Mai Mai's body recovered completely, and Li Jiayi took her to bid farewell to Tina, and drove to a nearby town by car.

This is the most remote area in New South Wales, with a vast land and few people.They took a three-wheeled vehicle of an acquaintance of Tina's, and after a bumpy morning, they finally arrived at a nearby town called Locke.

Tina was worried about them and must give them some money and dry food.

In fact, Li Jiayi also wanted to borrow some money from her in her heart. Even if she got through to Gu Chengyi's phone number, she still couldn't quench her thirst. It was impossible for her and Mai Mai to be penniless in the town.Even though she could barely survive, she didn't want to make Mai Mai feel wronged.

But Tina's family is not rich, so she has never been ashamed to say it.Now Tina insisted on giving her money, and she accepted it, and then made a note of this place, and she was going to pay it back in the future.

Locke Town is not as closed as a fishing village. There are spacious asphalt roads and many shops here, which already have a modern atmosphere.Mai Mai's mood seemed to brighten, and she looked around curiously.

She had just recovered her speech function, and Li Jiayi wanted her to talk more, so she kept talking to her: "Mai, do you remember that we once watched a reality show where a group of people live in a foreign country with only a few hundred dollars?" Money survives for a few days and nights, and we are here today, so you can treat everything these days as a big adventure, okay?"

"Well, it's just that no one took pictures of us." Mai Mai nodded, with a sweet smile on her face: "But it's good to have my mother here, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Good boy," Li Jiayi patted her little head, and led her into a grocery store that looked a bit large, because she saw a telephone on the counter at the door.

The tourism resources here have not yet been developed, so few outsiders set foot here. The shop owner looked at this Chinese woman and little girl, looking up and down as if seeing an alien.Li Jiayi communicated with the store owner in English. In exchange, she bought a box of jelly beans for Mai Mai, and the store owner lent her a phone to make an international call.

Holding the phone, Li Jiayi felt excited, feeling like she was holding a magic wand that could change everything.She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and pressed the phone numbers one by one, international area code, area code, mobile phone number...

Finally, she heard the familiar "beep" sound from the phone receiver, and the call went through...

Mai Mai held a box of colorful candies, raised her face, and looked at her eagerly.Although young, Maimai already knew the meaning of this call:
If her father came to pick her and her mother up sooner, they could go back to the imperial capital, see her younger brother, and she could go to school...

This phone call seems to hold the fate of the mother and daughter in their hands. They are also immersed in their own little emotions, and they don't even notice that a van is listening behind them...

"Chengyi..."

The call finally got through. However, just after calling out these two words, I felt a numbness in my neck, and with a bang, the phone receiver in Li Jiayi's hand fell to the ground, and she herself fell backwards, losing consciousness a little bit. From the corner of her eye, she saw Mai Mai being carried into a car by a man, her vision went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.

And when she woke up again, her whole body was tightly bound by ropes and she couldn't move, her eyes were pitch black and she couldn't see anything.She tried to shout twice: "Wheat...Wheat..."

"Mother……"

Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief when a faint voice came from beside her. Fortunately, Mai Mai is fine.But immediately, depression and fear came to her, just like Tang Monk going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, every step of the way deserved disaster.
