Seeing that the man was uncommunicative, the driver took out his phone and issued a final warning.

As she approached, Toyokawa Shoko's pupils dilated upon hearing the arguing.

Xiangzi's eyes widened again, and his cheeks twitched slightly.

Because she discovered that Bai Qiu was also there.

"Bai...Bai Qiu?"

Shoko Toyokawa exclaimed in surprise.

She thought to herself that she must look terrible right now.

"Why are you here too?"

Bai Qiu was also surprised to meet Xiangzi.

"I took a taxi and passed by here..."

He glanced at Xiangzi, then at the drunken man.

Bai Qiu seemed to understand something.

"Um... could you let go of him first?"

Shoko Toyokawa gritted her teeth and asked the driver.

"Do you know him?" The driver glanced over, and after recognizing the girl, asked, "This guy's daughter?"

"Yes……"

Shoko Toyokawa nodded heavily, her face filled with shame.

"In that case, you shall compensate for the losses."

The driver had finally caught someone who knew the drunkard, so naturally he wasn't going to let him go easily.

Bai Qiu frowned.

This matter is related to Xiangzi.

He certainly won't stand idly by.

"Okay, how much?" Toyokawa Shoko answered with a forced smile, while simultaneously taking out her wallet.

The driver pointed to the windshield and said, "Look for yourself. This is what he did. He should at least pay me back for the car wash and he wasted a lot of my time."

Toyokawa Shoko gripped her wallet tightly, but then her fingers paused; there were hardly any banknotes left in the wallet.

"I give you."

At this moment, Bai Qiu suddenly spoke up and took out some banknotes.

"Including my transportation fee, it should be enough, right?"

"Besides, it's just that your windshield is dirty, it doesn't cost much to wash your car."

"By the way, you don't need to take me back anymore."

Bai Qiu doesn't lack this money.

However, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, but he did give the driver enough compensation.

The driver's eyes lit up, and he naturally agreed.

After the driver left.

"Bai Qiu, thank you..." Xiangzi said gratefully, looking embarrassed. "I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Bai Qiu simply nodded.

If he doesn't accept it, Xiangzi definitely won't be happy.

Having regained some consciousness, Toyokawa's father's face lit up with joy upon seeing his daughter, and he exclaimed:

"Xiangzi..."

"Money...give me the money now..."

"I will definitely win this time!"

What are you going to do with the money if you think you can win it back?

Bai Qiu got angry too.

Bai Qiu couldn't think of anything else besides going to fight pachinko.

Add to that the man's strong smell of alcohol and his recent behavior.

Even if he is Xiangzi's father.

But Bai Qiu had no good feelings towards this old man.

Bai Qiu finally understood why Xiangzi worked so hard at his part-time job.

There was this guy who was completely drunk and was still wandering around outside late at night...

When trouble gets into, it's up to the daughter to solve it...

He even has the nerve to ask his daughter for money, wanting to use the money his daughter worked so hard to earn to beat up pachinko gang members.

It would be strange if Xiangzi didn't have a hard life.

Bai Qiu couldn't imagine how Toyokawa Shoko could endure it.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Xiangzi left Crychic.

She no longer has the leisure to play in a band.

"Xiangzi...hurry up..."

Seeing that his daughter hadn't made any move, Toyokawa's father started yelling again.

"Trust Dad..."

"I definitely won't lose this time."

As Toyokawa Shoko watched her father's actions, tears began to well up in her eyes.

She bit her lip tightly, refusing to let her emotions out.

At this moment, Toyokawa's father also walked unsteadily toward Shoko.

Bai Qiu decisively stepped in front of Xiangzi.

"Hmm? Who... are you?"

Seeing that he was being obstructed by a young man, Toyokawa's father frowned and his attitude was not friendly.

Bai Qiu said expressionlessly, "You like money so much, huh? How about I give you some?"

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa's father raised his voice.

He saw Bai Qiu give money to the driver just now.

Bai Qiu smiled: "Of course it's true."

Bai Qiu shook her wallet.

"Okay, okay, give it to me now."

Toyokawa's father didn't even question why he was being given money; he just kept urging him on anxiously.

"Wait, Bai Qiu, you can't..."

Shoko Toyokawa, who had just recovered from her surprise and confusion, hurriedly grabbed Shiraaki's hand when she saw this.

Let's put aside the question of why her father accepted Bai Qiu's money.

Once the money reaches her father's hands, it's gone forever; he'll either use it to buy alcohol or pachinko.

"Xiangzi, don't worry about it."

Toyokawa's father frowned.

He couldn't allow the swan meat he had almost obtained to fly away.

Shoko Toyokawa was speechless and choked with emotion after being treated this way by her father, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Bai Qiu gave him a cold glance.

Toyokawa's father was so frightened that he took two steps back.

Bai Qiu looked back at Xiangzi and said softly, "It's alright, Xiangzi."

Bai Qiu gently patted Xiangzi's hand and then pulled away.

"This time I want you to listen to me."

Chapter 121 Bringing Xiangzi Home

"Eh……?"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned.

She had never seen Bai Qiu so serious before.

The resolute emotion revealed on Bai Qiu's face.

This left Xiangzi slightly dazed, almost unable to say "no".

Bai Qiu took all the money out of her wallet, about 10 yen.

When Toyokawa's father saw it, his eyes lit up.

"Get it."

After Bai Qiu said something, the money was slapped onto Feng Chuan's father.

Toyokawa's father, his face contorted with drunkenness, grinned as he stretched out his arms to gather the banknotes.

He praised it and even expressed his gratitude to Bai Qiu.

"Haha, thank you..."

"I'll pay you back when I win it back."

"No need for that." Bai Qiu smiled dismissively. "Since we've given you the money, we're leaving now."

Toyokawa's father responded instinctively.

Bai Qiu suddenly grasped Xiangzi's hand and said to him:

"Xiangzi, let's go."

"Eh……?"

Toyokawa Shoko gave a soft hum, her expression somewhat bewildered.

But it did not break free.

Xiangzi was still overwhelmed with mixed feelings, having not yet recovered from his surprise and sadness.

Suddenly, I felt my weak fingers being tightly gripped by another pair of long, strong hands.

Immediately afterwards, Xiangzi's body was moved by Bai Qiu.

"Wait...wait a minute!" Seeing this, Toyokawa's father, who was counting his money, asked loudly, "Where are you taking Xiangzi?"

"That's none of your business."

Bai Qiu said without turning her head.

Toyokawa's father caught up with them, angrily saying:

"How can it not be my business? Xiangzi is my daughter."

Bai Qiu thought highly of him for being able to catch up.

Bai Qiu stopped and turned to look directly at Feng Chuan's father.

"Oh, so now you know Xiangzi is your daughter?"

"What were you doing just now?"

"What were you doing while Xiangzi was working part-time outside?"
