I knew exactly what kind of person Su Qingjiao was. She was clearly greedy, yet she pretended to be aloof.

Zhou Yi was prepared. It didn't matter that she couldn't pay back the debt now; she would make her pay for it in blood at the annual ceremony.

At that point, she won't be able to escape it!

After putting the bill back, Zhou Yi went back to the bathroom to dry his hair.

After leaving Zhou Yi's room, Su Qingjiao returned to the suffocating servants' quarters in disappointment.

Zhou Yi's room was so big, with a custom-made walk-in closet and a bathtub... Suddenly coming to such a small room feels like the difference between heaven and hell.

This made her even more resentful, wondering why there was such a big difference in how people treated her.

Su Qingjiao sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, feeling dizzy from hunger. She wanted to go out to get something to eat, but as soon as she went out, she was watched by Butler Cao. She really didn't want to work, so why should she have her wages deducted?

Ha, she just didn't believe that Zhou Yi would actually deduct money from her mother's paycheck at the end of the month!

Anyway, she'll make up with Zhou Yi!

She waited and waited until her mother returned home after a long day of work.

"How did it go?" Su's mother asked her impatiently as soon as she returned.

Su Qingjiao lay on the bed, too hungry to eat anything, so she kept drinking water. Her eyes darkened slightly as she said, "When I went up to find Zhou Yi, I discovered that someone was trying to steal him away while we were having a cold war."

“Zhou Yi still loves me, but he’s too proud to admit it right now. Maybe it’s because someone else is pursuing him that gives him confidence.”

“He doesn’t want to get back together with me easily. He said he wants to wait and think about it some more.”
