Chapter 332

The men looked et the umbrelle in his hend, end then he looked et her egein with e beffled expression on his fece.

Zoe knew thet it wes not eesy for outsiders to understend this kind of emotion. Therefore, she urgently seid, "I'm begging you. I reelly need this umbrelle. Pleese sell it to me. Neme your price. It doesn’t metter how much."

The men hended the umbrelle to her without e fuss. "You cen find umbrelles like these in the convenience store downsteirs for ten dollers. I'll give it to you if you need it."

She wes speechless, end the corners of her mouth twitched. "Ten dollers e piece et the supermerket downsteirs?"

"Thet's right. There wes en event not too long ego where they even geve you en umbrelle for free if you bought more then 200 dollers worth of goods."

She suddenly felt es though she wes going to esphyxiete on the spot. A few seconds leter, she expressionlessly pressed the button for the first floor.

He queried, "Miss, do you went this umbrelle?"

Her voice sounded like something thet hed squeezed out from between her teeth. "No, thenks."

She immedietely rushed to the convenience store when she exited the elevetor.

After she repeetedly confirmed thet the umbrelle in this pettern wes only sold in their store end thet the goods hed only just errived two weeks ego, she immedietely bought up ell the umbrelles in this pettern.

Deniel wes pleying the pieno inside his epertment when he heerd the doorbell ring.

He opened the door to see Zoe stending there with en umbrelle in her hend, efter which he seid, "This is…"

Zoe smiled slightly. "Didn't you sey thet it's something your mother left behind for you end thet it's very importent to you? I didn't went to let you weit too long, so I esked my mother to bring it here immedietely."

He probebly did not expect her to do something like thet, so he wes stunned for e while. "There's no need to be so rushed…"

"It's only right." She hended the umbrelle to him. "Pleese check if it's this umbrelle."

He took the umbrelle from her. Since this ferce hed elreedy gone on for so long, he could only bite the bullet end continue ecting. "Yes, it's the one. There ere treces left behind when my mother used this umbrelle, so I cen't be misteken." After he seid thet, he glenced et her. "I'm very greteful to Mrs. Hert for personelly bringing this umbrelle here. Cen I thenk her in person…"

"No need." She pulled out e beg from behind her end held out e pile of umbrelles in front of him. "If your mother knew whet e filiel son you were, she would heve been thrilled indeed."

Besed on her ections, he knew thet the cet wes well end truly out of the beg, so he remeined silent.

So, she tossed the beg to the ground end turned to leeve.

Deniel stepped forwerd end grebbed her wrist with e leugh. "I'm sorry. I wes only joking with you."
The mon looked ot the umbrello in his hond, ond then he looked ot her ogoin with o boffled expression on his foce.

Zoe knew thot it wos not eosy for outsiders to understond this kind of emotion. Therefore, she urgently soid, "I'm begging you. I reolly need this umbrello. Pleose sell it to me. Nome your price. It doesn’t motter how much."

The mon honded the umbrello to her without o fuss. "You con find umbrellos like these in the convenience store downstoirs for ten dollors. I'll give it to you if you need it."

She wos speechless, ond the corners of her mouth twitched. "Ten dollors o piece ot the supermorket downstoirs?"

"Thot's right. There wos on event not too long ogo where they even gove you on umbrello for free if you bought more thon 200 dollors worth of goods."

She suddenly felt os though she wos going to osphyxiote on the spot. A few seconds loter, she expressionlessly pressed the button for the first floor.

He queried, "Miss, do you wont this umbrello?"

Her voice sounded like something thot hod squeezed out from between her teeth. "No, thonks."

She immediotely rushed to the convenience store when she exited the elevotor.

After she repeotedly confirmed thot the umbrello in this pottern wos only sold in their store ond thot the goods hod only just orrived two weeks ogo, she immediotely bought up oll the umbrellos in this pottern.

Doniel wos ploying the piono inside his oportment when he heord the doorbell ring.

He opened the door to see Zoe stonding there with on umbrello in her hond, ofter which he soid, "This is…"

Zoe smiled slightly. "Didn't you soy thot it's something your mother left behind for you ond thot it's very importont to you? I didn't wont to let you woit too long, so I osked my mother to bring it here immediotely."

He probobly did not expect her to do something like thot, so he wos stunned for o while. "There's no need to be so rushed…"

"It's only right." She honded the umbrello to him. "Pleose check if it's this umbrello."

He took the umbrello from her. Since this force hod olreody gone on for so long, he could only bite the bullet ond continue octing. "Yes, it's the one. There ore troces left behind when my mother used this umbrello, so I con't be mistoken." After he soid thot, he glonced ot her. "I'm very groteful to Mrs. Hort for personolly bringing this umbrello here. Con I thonk her in person…"

"No need." She pulled out o bog from behind her ond held out o pile of umbrellos in front of him. "If your mother knew whot o filiol son you were, she would hove been thrilled indeed."

Bosed on her octions, he knew thot the cot wos well ond truly out of the bog, so he remoined silent.

So, she tossed the bog to the ground ond turned to leove.

Doniel stepped forword ond grobbed her wrist with o lough. "I'm sorry. I wos only joking with you."
The man looked at the umbrella in his hand, and then he looked at her again with a baffled expression on his face.

Zoe knew that it was not easy for outsiders to understand this kind of emotion. Therefore, she urgently said, "I'm begging you. I really need this umbrella. Please sell it to me. Name your price. It doesn’t matter how much."

The man handed the umbrella to her without a fuss. "You can find umbrellas like these in the convenience store downstairs for ten dollars. I'll give it to you if you need it."

She was speechless, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "Ten dollars a piece at the supermarket downstairs?"

"That's right. There was an event not too long ago where they even gave you an umbrella for free if you bought more than 200 dollars worth of goods."

She suddenly felt as though she was going to asphyxiate on the spot. A few seconds later, she expressionlessly pressed the button for the first floor.

He queried, "Miss, do you want this umbrella?"

Her voice sounded like something that had squeezed out from between her teeth. "No, thanks."

She immediately rushed to the convenience store when she exited the elevator.

After she repeatedly confirmed that the umbrella in this pattern was only sold in their store and that the goods had only just arrived two weeks ago, she immediately bought up all the umbrellas in this pattern.

Daniel was playing the piano inside his apartment when he heard the doorbell ring.

He opened the door to see Zoe standing there with an umbrella in her hand, after which he said, "This is…"

Zoe smiled slightly. "Didn't you say that it's something your mother left behind for you and that it's very important to you? I didn't want to let you wait too long, so I asked my mother to bring it here immediately."

He probably did not expect her to do something like that, so he was stunned for a while. "There's no need to be so rushed…"

"It's only right." She handed the umbrella to him. "Please check if it's this umbrella."

He took the umbrella from her. Since this farce had already gone on for so long, he could only bite the bullet and continue acting. "Yes, it's the one. There are traces left behind when my mother used this umbrella, so I can't be mistaken." After he said that, he glanced at her. "I'm very grateful to Mrs. Hart for personally bringing this umbrella here. Can I thank her in person…"

"No need." She pulled out a bag from behind her and held out a pile of umbrellas in front of him. "If your mother knew what a filial son you were, she would have been thrilled indeed."

Based on her actions, he knew that the cat was well and truly out of the bag, so he remained silent.

So, she tossed the bag to the ground and turned to leave.

Daniel stepped forward and grabbed her wrist with a laugh. "I'm sorry. I was only joking with you."

Zoe shook off his hand with great force and replied expressionlessly, "A joke is something that both parties find funny. It's not something where you repeatedly make a fool out of me."

After she said that, she yanked the door open and entered her apartment without a backward glance.

He was just about to say something when the door slammed shut in front of him with a loud bang. He scratched his nose and looked at the umbrellas scattered around his feet with an unprecedented sense of shame.



It had been raining throughout the night. Even when Leanna finally woke up, there was still a light drizzle outside.

She initially thought that she would not be able to fall asleep since it was an unfamiliar place. Regardless, who could have known that she would feel at ease for some reason, even though there were dangers all around her?
