Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1394: 1393 wants money

Tan Rou arrived at the entrance of the flower shop. Normally, the doors and windows of a flower shop are glass to facilitate sunlight coming in and to allow customers to select fresh flowers from outside.

Just like the shop assistant had just mentioned, Kas was very good at growing flowers; his green plants were very fresh. Even through the glass, Tan Rou could feel that the plants were very healthy.

The glass walls of the flower shop were almost entirely obscured by green leaves, leaving only tiny gaps. The situation with the glass door was slightly better, perhaps because decorations would impede movement, so there was nothing on it but a small pot of cactus.

J country is one plagued with water scarcity, which is why fresh cut flowers are a rarity in the market, with succulents being the primary commodities. However, Kas’s flower shop was different; inside, there were many fresh flowers and potted plants, even aquatic plants. Those flowers were so beautiful, not losing out in the slightest to the ones in Tan Rou’s greenhouse at home.

Tan Rou couldn’t help but take another look, and just as she peered through the glass door, suddenly, someone met her gaze. They stood facing each other, one inside and the other outside, both continuing to remain silent.

Kas couldn’t hold back any longer; he moved some things around inside then opened the door, “Please come in!”

Tan Rou said indifferently, “I’m not here to find you or Agila. I just came to buy some flowers. My hotel room has no green plants, and I find it quite uncomfortable, so I thought I’d buy a couple of pots to keep there. The barbecue restaurant’s staff said the flowers from this shop are the best looking, so I came over.”

Whether Kas believed her or not, his expression remained very calm as he said, “I took Agila with me because I didn’t think I should leave him there alone.”

“I know it was you who took him,” Tan Rou said. “I suppose if it were someone else, Agila probably wouldn’t have gone with them.”

If Agila were the type to leave easily with someone, he wouldn’t have been wandering the airport for so long.

Kas said gratefully, “Thank you for bringing Agila back. You can pick any flowers you want, just consider it my way of saying thanks.”

Tan Rou’s ultimate purpose wasn’t to buy flowers, but she needed an excuse to stay there, so she entered.

Agila was hiding behind the counter, and when he saw Tan Rou, he smiled at her, “Sister Tan Rou.”

Tan Rou nodded at him and asked, “Are you happy by your father’s side?”

Agila replied, “Yes. We would be even happier if Mom could be here too.”

“As long as you’re happy,” Tan Rou said to Agila, then she turned her head to look at Kas, “Mr. Kas, perhaps that’s not your real name, but right now, I don’t want to dwell on that. I came here today intending to buy a few plants, but seeing you, I suddenly remembered something else.”

Kas asked, “Whatever you want to say, just say it. As long as I can help, I will.”

Fortunately, Tan Rou brought with her the paper invoice from the bank transfer. She didn’t know if Kas could understand the foreign language, but she showed it to him anyway.

“This is what I spent bringing Agila back. If he had been deceiving me, then I would have accepted my bad luck and dropped him off at the police station, considering the matter closed,” Tan Rou lifted the invoice for Kas to see, “But now that his father is here, I think it’s only right for his father to repay me this money, otherwise, I will have to take both of you to the police station.”

Kas looked at Tan Rou in surprise, “Why would you want to do that?” He might not recognize the words, but he understood the numbers—how could he possibly afford that hundred thousand US dollars?

“I won’t help a stranger for nothing,” Tan Rou said. “Just now I didn’t ask for the money because it seemed like you and your son had something important to discuss, but now that you’re done, isn’t it time to give me that money?”

Tan Rou had already been taken advantage of once in Agila’s matter and was not about to let that happen again. So, she had to demand some money from Agila’s parents to compensate for her losses. After all, she wasn’t close to this family; why should she help for free?

Kas looked at Tan Rou uncomfortably and finally said, “Alright, I will give you the money, but I do not have that much right now. Once I have enough, I will give it all to you.”
