Chapter 673: Claude's Angry Face
After a moment of panic, Clorinde tried to calm herself down.
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, repeating this several times to calm her fear.
Then, she began to think quickly about the response in her mind, and said to herself: "I should have saved some Mora in the past few years, but this is a full 200 million. My savings are simply a drop in the bucket!"
At this moment, Clorinde's attention was suddenly attracted by Funina in the bedroom.
At this moment, Funina was lying on the bed, snoring due to the effect of sleeping pills, and was completely defenseless.
At this moment, an idea flashed through Clorinde's mind, which was what Shao Yun joked about before, kidnapping Funina and then sending a threatening letter to Momang Palace, demanding a ransom!
"or……"
Clorinde's eyes narrowed, and her feet began to move unconsciously towards the bedroom. Just a dozen steps further and she could put this crazy plan into practice.
However, in the next moment, the idea of kidnapping Fernina that had just emerged in Clorinde's mind instantly disappeared.
She took two steps back and cursed herself, "What on earth am I thinking about? This is illegal, Clorinde, how could you be so stupid?"
But how to solve the debt of 200 million Mora? Clorinde frowned tightly, feeling extremely anxious.
Suddenly, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she cast her gaze towards Shao Yun beside her. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Master, can you lend me…"
After she had said a few words, Clorinde suddenly seemed to realize something, shook her head violently, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"No, what am I thinking about? How could you have so much money, Master..."
She sighed secretly in her heart, thinking that she was really daydreaming.
However, how could Clorinde know that Shao Yun actually had more than 50 billion in his pocket!
But even if she knew this, what could she do?
Even if Navia really owed a debt of 200 million Mora, Shao Yun would never easily help her repay this huge sum of money just for Clorinde's face.
At this moment, Clorinde was extremely nervous. She began to bite her nails unconsciously and paced back and forth in front of Shao Yun.
"Why don't we just run away with Navia?"
Such a thought suddenly flashed through Clorinde's mind, but she quickly rejected the idea herself.
"But where can we hide? It's not so easy to escape from the bank's debt collection..."
"Wait a minute, how about... taking Navia and escaping to Mond?" As soon as this thought came to mind, Clorinde's eyes lit up.
Now Clorinde seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and her eyes were suddenly opened!
That's right! The legs are on my body, take Navia and run! She just doesn't believe that the Fatui can go to Mondstadt to collect debts!
Seeing Clorinde anxiously trying to take Navia to escape to Mond, Shao Yun thought to himself that this joke had gone too far and he had to put the brakes on and end this farce.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, I was just joking!" Shao Yun waved his hands quickly, with an awkward smile on his face, trying to calm Clorinde down.
When Clorinde heard the word "joke", her brain didn't react for a moment, and she looked at Shao Yun in a daze.
"What? You said this was just a joke?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly explained: "Yes, I was just joking. Navia doesn't have any debt at all. I just wanted to see what your expression would be if she really borrowed money."
After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Clorinde's expression became very complicated. She asked half-doubtfully, "Really? Navia really didn't borrow money from the bank? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Shao Yun looked at Clorinde, nodded solemnly, and said, "It's absolutely true! I used my connections to investigate, and there is absolutely no mistake. Navia has no debt problems at all, so don't worry!"
When Clorinde heard that all this was Shao Yun's scam, her face suddenly turned gloomy and her lips began to tremble slightly with anger.
"Master!" Clorinde's voice suddenly rose by more than ten decibels. It was obvious that she was really angry.
Shao Yun looked at Clorinde's angry expression and his heart tightened. He realized that his joke had gone a little too far.
He quickly put away the smile on his face, showed a trace of apology, and stammered: "Oh wow, sorry, I was just making a harmless little joke! There's no need to be so angry, right?"
However, Clorinde was not calmed down by Shao Yun's apology.
She walked straight up to Shao Yun, stretched out her hands, and grabbed Shao Yun's collar tightly.
"Master, I'm serious! This is not funny at all!" There was obvious anger in Clorinde's voice.
Shao Yun was startled by Clorinde's sudden action. He looked at her in astonishment and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
After a few seconds, he tried to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone and said with a smile: "Hey, don't take it so seriously, I just want to tease you."
However, Clorinde clearly wasn't buying it.
She bit her lower lip and tried to control her emotions, but tears began to well up in her eyes.
She choked up a little as she spoke: "You almost scared me to death! Shao Yun, why are you just like my master Petronilla? You just like to see me make a fool of myself and laugh at me!"
Seeing a mist gradually appearing in Clorinde's originally bright eyes, Shao Yun completely realized that his joke just now seemed to have gone a little too far.
"Wait a minute, is this joke so serious?" Shao Yun asked in surprise. He originally just wanted to make a little joke to tease Clorinde, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
Clorinde nodded heavily.
She treats Navia the same way Shao Yun treats Ying. As long as it is related to Navia, it is very important in her eyes.
Moreover, two hundred million, this number is really scary!
"Yes! Will you be happy to see me cry?"
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly reached out and pulled away Clorinde's hand that was grabbing his collar, while at the same time showing an awkward smile on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Maybe! How about considering it as my reward?" His tone still contained a hint of sarcasm, but it had obviously been restrained a lot.
When Clorinde heard the word "reward", she took half a step back and kept a certain distance from Shao Yun.
Then she took a deep breath, widened her eyes, and stared straight at Shao Yun.
"Master, okay, then I'll cry for you to see..."
After Clorinde said this, she closed her eyes and began to recall the sad events she had experienced since she was a child.
Shao Yun watched as Clorinde's eyes began to turn red, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had really messed up this time.
He waved his hands quickly and advised anxiously: "No, no, no, I was just joking, don't take it seriously!"
When Clorinde heard Shao Yun's words, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at him.
Then she turned and walked quickly towards the bedroom, leaving behind a few words.
"I'm going back to my room to protect Lady Funina! Mr. Shao Yun, please do as you please!"
Listening to the loud and crisp sound of Clorinde's short high-heeled boots stepping on the floor, Shao Yun scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Are you so angry?"
……
The time has come, it is evening.
In the bedroom of Clorinde's old home, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the face of Funina who was lying on the bed.
The soft light stimulated her eyes through her eyelids.
Stimulated by the light of the setting sun, Funina frowned and woke up slowly.
She slowly opened her eyes and felt her head swelling.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her forehead, mumbling, "Ah... I feel dizzy..."
Clorinde, who was standing beside the bed and had been watching over Funina, stepped forward when she saw her wake up and asked with concern, "Lady Funina, are you awake? How do you feel?"
Clorinde was afraid that Funina would have brain problems because of these four sleeping pills.
Furninna turned her head with difficulty and her eyes fell on Clorinde who was standing beside the bed.
"Claude, ah... my head... hurts..."
Seeing this, Clorinde quickly picked up a glass of warm water that had been prepared long ago from the bedside table, handed it to Funina, and said softly: "Drink some water to moisten your throat."
Furninna propped herself up with her hands and sat up. She dazedly took the cup of water that Clorinde handed over and drank it all in one gulp.
After taking a big gulp of water, Furninna's throat was moistened, but her mind did not seem to become clearer.
She blinked, trying to wake herself up, and then asked in confusion: "Ah, what's wrong with me?"
Clorinde stood by the bed and lied without blushing, "You were tired from playing and fell asleep on the sofa, so I carried you to the bedroom to rest."
After listening to Clorinde's explanation, Furninna frowned and covered her forehead with her hand unconsciously, as if trying to relieve the discomfort in her head.
Her consciousness was still hazy, and her memory of what happened before she fell asleep was a little vague.
"Is that so? But I remember I didn't play much?" Funina murmured to herself.
At this moment, Shao Yun leaned against the door frame without knowing when.
After hearing what Funina said, Shao Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"I suggest that you, Funina, go back to Momang Palace and have a good rest. Clorinde's hometown is a bit remote after all. What if..."
Before Shao Yun finished speaking, Funina, whose mind was still a little confused, was shocked and quickly agreed to Shao Yun's suggestion.
"Yes, Shao Yun, you are right, let's go back to Mo Mang Palace!"
