Long MuChen watched as Qian DuoDuo's eyes concentrated on the banknotes on the table and her eyes sparkled. He knew that this young girl was eying his silvers.
Therefore, he told Han Tie to give the rest of the banknotes to Qian DuoDuo.
Qian DuoDuo took the banknotes over and the corner of her lips immediately curled up wide. She counted them, not caring that it was impolite. Then, she directly placed them in her small bag.
