Selling the jade pendant would more than be enough to pay them back.

Unfortunately, he waited for a long time but never heard Ming Xiaoxiao say those words.

He opened his mouth, wanting to remind Ming Xiaoxiao about the jade pendant, but before he could speak, Ming Xiaoxiao beat him to it.

"Well, if everyone's done, I'll probably head back now." She waved her phone. "My grandma's calling me urgently."

In that instant, a thought clearly surfaced in the acne-ridden boy's mind: she was making excuses; she wanted to escape today's debts.

Ming Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to the emotions of others. After a few more apologies, she turned and left with a natural expression.

Even when Jiang Yifan offered to take her, she waved her hand and said, "No need to trouble you, I'm not that delicate."

The way she turned around and smiled at everyone was as cheerful and lively, independent and strong as ever.

But it was like a bucket of cold water poured over the acne-ridden boy's head, leaving him completely chilled.

Actually, Ming Xiaoxiao didn't go very far.

Before entering the jade shop, she also glanced at the promotional poster of the gold shop next door.

After all, the store's decor looked very luxurious, and the promotional posters and banners were exceptionally large.

A 50% winning rate... that's such a high winning rate, it's tempting!

What's more, the grand prize on it is a car worth nearly ten million.

Ming Xiaoxiao discreetly blended into the crowd, entered the gold shop, carefully checked the rules again, and chatted with the winners, discovering that the winning rate was indeed very high.

Most people casually spend a few hundred yuan to buy a lucky charm or earrings, and they can win prizes worth thousands of yuan in a lottery, and quite a few people do win.

It's clear that the 50% winning rate is not just a gimmick.

Ming Xiaoxiao went around and picked out a bracelet worth five or six thousand: "This one will do."

When she bought the raw stone, she was careful and secretly kept 6,000 yuan, which was just enough to buy this bracelet.

Before paying, she checked several times, "Your car prize hasn't been drawn, has it?"

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Our top three prizes haven't been decided yet, but you have a chance to win the third prize of 100,000 yuan in cash."

Ming Xiaoxiao was relieved. What was 100,000 yuan in cash? She had always been lucky since she was a child; if she were to win anything, it would only be a car in the grand prize.

After paying the bill, I took my raffle ticket to participate in the lucky draw.

As soon as we arrived at the lottery center, a cheerful voice announced loudly, "Our first prize winner has been chosen! The first prize winner has been chosen!"

Ming Xiaoxiao's heart tightened, and she quickly walked over: "Excuse me, I want to participate in the prize draw!"

As soon as I squeezed in, I heard the voice continue announcing: "Congratulations! Great news! The grand prize has been awarded!"

Ming Xiaoxiao stood there, stunned, unable to believe it!

What struck her even more as if she had been struck on the head was that she saw Xie Li surrounded by the crowd.

Xie Li seemed a little stunned, while Su Ying next to her laughed and hugged her. Li Chen's loud voice was particularly loud: "Brother Li, you won a Rolls-Royce Phantom! Ahhh, you're awesome!"

Ming Xiaoxiao felt her blood rushing to her head, and her head was buzzing.

How could this happen? How could this happen!

Moisture quickly gathered in her eyes. She just wanted to turn things around with the car and repay those boys double. Why did Xie Li take even that away from her?

Ming Xiaoxiao felt she couldn't accept it.

"Do you want to participate in the lucky draw? If so, hurry up! We're having a lot of big prizes coming up, and they might be gone soon!" a staff member reminded them.
