Chapter 137 Don't Think About Money

Liu Bingbing shook her head.

"Brother Jie, I don't know either."

"Brother Jie, if you don't want to watch this, let's watch something else."

"No, no!" Ma Junjie quickly shook his head and said.

"Since we have tickets, let's watch this one!"

"It's not good. Let's sneak out again and choose another one!"

Liu Bingbing remained silent, tacitly agreeing.

The two went downstairs and immediately spotted Carina Lau's car.

There is a noticeable dent in the front bumper of the car.

Ma Junjie watched, feeling a pang of heartache.

Thinking to myself,

It will definitely cost a lot of money to fix it.

But Carina Lau seemed completely unconcerned and didn't take it seriously at all.

He even comforted himself in the process.

When Ma Junjie thought about it again, he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart and was very moved.

Because in contrast, he thought back to his childhood, when he was about seven or eight years old.

Once, while washing dishes, I accidentally chipped a corner off a bowl.

That night, he was hung up and beaten by his father, and after the beating, he was mercilessly hung up all night.

At that time, Ma Junjie was filled with panic and also felt extremely guilty.

Because of his parents' actions, he also felt that he had committed an unforgivable mistake.

Looking back now, Ma Junjie realizes how incredibly foolish he was back then.

Why is such a mistake magnified in the eyes of parents when it is so minor?

When he grew up, he finally understood.

The root cause of this tragedy can be summed up in one word: poverty!

Because of poverty, parents become petty and will beat their children until they are covered in bruises over a broken bowl.

Looking at Carina Lau's reaction now...

Ma Junjie realized a truth: he must work hard to earn money.

Otherwise, their own children might repeat the same mistakes and suffer the same tragic fate.

"Brother Jie, Brother Jie?" Liu Bingbing called out to Ma Junjie a few times when she saw him in a daze.

"Oh, Bingbing!" Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze and stared at Liu Bingbing.

"Brother Jie, which car are we taking?"

"Do you want to drive my aunt's car?"

Ma Junjie shook his head.

"No, if I were driving myself, I wouldn't hesitate!"

Even with you by my side, I still worry about you!

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing was slightly moved.

"this……"

"Brother Jie, then...how do we get there?"

Ma Junjie patted his pockets.

It contained a thick stack of money.

He laughed.

"How do we get there? Hehe, Bingbing, you'll do as I say today!"

"I'll definitely arrange everything perfectly for you!"

Liu Bingbing rarely saw Ma Junjie so smug.

If it were before, Liu Bingbing would have already confronted Ma Junjie.

She thought to herself,

Given Ma Junjie's frugal and thrifty nature, he would definitely take me on the bus.

However, the next second, she saw Ma Junjie rush to the side of the road.

He flagged down a taxi directly.

"Bingbing, come here quickly, get in the car and let's go!"

Liu Bingbing stood there, stunned, somewhat lost in thought.

Seeing that Liu Bingbing didn't move,

Ma Junjie walked up to Liu Bingbing with a smile and took her hand in his.

"Bingbing, get in the car!"

Liu Bingbing turned her head, looking at Ma Junjie with disbelief.

Ma Junjie, however, didn't seem to care. He pulled her to the taxi, opened the door for Liu Bingbing, and urged her to hurry.

"Bingbing, come in!"

"There are a lot of cars on this road, be careful!"

Liu Bingbing got into the car, and then felt Ma Junjie's hand loosen.

Her mind suddenly felt a little dizzy, and a lot of thoughts came to mind.

"Big brother, let's go to the movie theater!" Ma Junjie shouted to the taxi driver.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and replied,

"Okay, no problem!"

"Both of you sit tight, we're off!"

The car started quickly and sped along the road.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped.

Ma Junjie paid the money, which came to 28 yuan.

After the car drove away, Liu Bingbing deliberately said,

"Brother Jie, aren't you heartbroken?"

"Huh?" Ma Junjie didn't understand.

Liu Bingbing said again,

"Brother Jie, 28 yuan is no small expense!"

"After all, taking the bus only costs two yuan."

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie burst into laughter.

"Bingbing, I thought you were going to say something else!"

"Don't worry about money today, just have fun."

"By the way, Bingbing, there's still an hour before the movie starts. Let's go grab something to eat first!"

"Bingbing, what would you like to eat? It's on me!"

After hearing Ma Junjie say that, Liu Bingbing couldn't help but stare at him for a long time.

She couldn't believe it.

Ma Junjie, who is usually frugal, suddenly seems to have become generous today.

When Ma Junjie noticed Liu Bingbing staring at him, he couldn't help but touch his face.

"Bingbing, is there something on my face?"

Liu Bingbing shook her head and asked,

"Brother Jie, I'm curious, did you get paid early?"

Ma Junjie chuckled again.

"Bingbing, I told you, you don't need to worry about money."

"It's a rare opportunity to go out and have fun, so having a good time is the most important thing."

Finally, Ma Junjie asked with a helpless expression,

"Bingbing, do you really think of me as such a stingy and petty person?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing blurted out without hesitation,

"Yes!"

"Uh, you, Bingbing, I..." Ma Junjie stammered, unable to say anything.

Liu Bingbing smiled faintly, then quickly turned her head and pointed to a shop across the street.

"Brother Jie, let's go get something to eat there!"

Ma Junjie looked in the direction Liu Bingbing was pointing.

All I could see was a large sign with a single large "M" on it.

Ma Junjie really didn't understand.

He asked in confusion,

"Bingbing, are you sure that's a place to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingbing shook her head slightly.

"Brother Jie, come with me!"

"I have a feeling you've never eaten anything from there!"

Ma Junjie scoffed, somewhat unconvinced.

"Bingbing, don't always underestimate me. Let me tell you, I also studied in a small county town, so I've seen a bit of the world!"

"You actually say there are things I haven't tried yet? Pfft, that doesn't exist!"

Liu Bingbing smiled gently and walked across the street.

After walking a few steps, a motorcycle suddenly sped past, about to hit Liu Bingbing.

Ma Junjie reacted quickly, reaching out and grabbing Liu Bingbing.

The car sped past the two people with a "whoosh."

Ma Junjie shouted loudly,

"Holy crap, driving that fast, are you in such a hurry to be reborn?!"

After saying that, Ma Junjie released Liu Bingbing's hand and asked with concern,

"Bingbing, are you alright?"

Liu Bingbing stood up from Ma Junjie's arms.

Shake your head.

"It's okay, I'm fine."

After saying that, Liu Bingbing lowered her head, seemingly blushing slightly. She looked around to make sure there were no cars, then suddenly sped up and ran towards the other side.

Ma Junjie shouted from behind.

"Bingbing, slow down, slow down!"

Ma Junjie chased after her and saw Liu Bingbing push open a glass door.

He pushed open the door and went inside...
