Tan Rou wasn't just missing this bit of money, was she? No, she was simply furious. She had kindly offered to help this family, only to find them leaving without a word. Had it not been for the locator that Tan Rou had prepared for him, she might not have been able to find them at all.
A word of thanks couldn't compensate for Tan Rou's loss. Although $100,000 wasn't much for Tan Rou, it was still money, and she felt her request was perfectly reasonable.
When it came to choosing between a child and a sum of money, it depended on what the child's parents found more important.
It seemed that Kas still cared a lot about Samiyi, he had chosen Samiyi between $100,000 and her. This choice made Tan Rou feel a little more favorable towards Kas.
