“I want to drop out of school and go back to Jiangzhou to retake the exam, but my mother is threatening suicide and won’t agree.”

"If the application is approved, there is no better arrangement for me!"

She spoke at length, as if afraid of hearing Lu Yi's objections.

But deep down, she also harbored a sliver of hope. What if he tried to keep her?

"congratulations!"

After listening, Lu Yi replied calmly with this sentence.

Liang Shiyue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, and her body stiffened.

"I'll cover your exchange student expenses, Xiaoyue. I support your pursuit. It's good to avoid the ups and downs back home!"

Lu Yi noticed her embarrassment and quickly offered some words of comfort.

"No, how could I possibly take your money!"

Liang Shiyue's first reaction was that the two of them owed each other nothing, and she would rather work to earn tuition fees than spend a single penny of Lu Yi's money.

“This isn’t my money, have you forgotten? We took over Lin’s shop together back then, and it’s been profitable ever since.”

"Calculate your profit; it should be at least three to five hundred thousand."

Lu Yi said this on purpose, cleverly covering up the transfer.

"That many?"

Liang Shiyue stared in astonishment.

"Yes, and I also took out a portion of the net profit and invested it in other places, those haven't reached the settlement time yet."

"Xiaoyue...promise me, no matter where you are, don't worry about money!"

In his interactions with the Huo family, Lu Yi witnessed far too many cases of girls willingly degrading themselves to buy handbags and luxury goods.

"Lu Yi, didn't you ever think of trying to keep me?"

Liang Shiyue hesitated, then hung up the phone and uttered a heartbreaking question to the black screen of her phone.
