Chapter 313 Bullying her for not memorizing enough Tang poetry
Lu Youyou took a step back: "Let's talk about it here. I have to meet with my tutor in half an hour, so I don't have much time."
Li Mingyue looked around, gritted her teeth and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Student Lu, can you lend me some money?"
Lu Youyou could never have imagined that she suddenly came to his house just to borrow money.
A blush appeared on Li Mingyue's pale face. She was so embarrassed and ashamed that she almost went crazy. She didn't even dare to look into Lu Youyou's eyes.
But she had no choice, she really needed money.
"Student Lu, I really have something urgent to do. Don't worry, I will return it to you!"
Lu Youyou didn't understand why she was short of money.
Although the hair allowance is not much, it is enough for daily expenses as long as you don't spend lavishly or get into bad habits.
“If you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, you can contact the embassy.”
Lu Youyou's tone was calm, but to Li Mingyue it sounded like hail in the coldest days of winter, freezing her heart.
There were more and more red bloodshot in her eyes, and she finally could not maintain the dignity she had when she came, but she had no other choice but to beg.
"Student Lu, if it wasn't urgent, I would never ask for help. Please be kind, I really need your help."
Lu Youyou was silent for a few seconds and asked, "What happened?"
Now it was Li Mingyue's turn to be silent. There was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, as if there was something she couldn't bring herself to talk about.
Lu Youyou took another look at him and saw the pale and haggard face, the backs of his hands that were so thin that veins were all over them, and the slightly bloated waist and abdomen.
Lu Youyou had not seen many pregnant women, but she had treated countless "pregnant mothers". She dug out a worthless scene from her memory -
The man who bumped into her half a year ago, in addition to swearing, also seemed to have said, "That's just wishful thinking, how can I be responsible?"
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: "Are you 'sick'?"
Li Mingyue shrank back and subconsciously looked up. Their eyes met and she immediately looked away as if she was burned.
She moved her right hand to her lower abdomen and immediately controlled herself.
"Yes, I'm sick, and the doctor said I may need surgery. Mr. Lu, for the sake of our brotherhood, can you help me?"
Lu Youyou had a feeling that it was as expected.
Li Mingyue's "ambition" was of no use to Lawrence and Song Shaoqing, but she did not give up and persisted until today.
Li Mingyue should be pregnant. Whether it is an accident or not, whether she gives birth to the baby or has an abortion, it is her own choice in life.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but think, wouldn't it be better to study hard?
You have clearly surpassed 99% of students in the country and will have a bright future as long as you graduate successfully. Why do you have to choose this method?
Is it so good to stay in the United States?
"Student Li, if you encounter any problem that cannot be solved, the best way is to seek help from the embassy."
This is Lu Youyou's advice, but unfortunately no one is destined to appreciate it.
Li Mingyue's breathing became more and more rapid, and even her cotton coat could not cover the violent rise and fall of her chest. Her eyes were full of envy and jealousy that had turned into hatred at some point in time.
I have borrowed from everyone I know, but international students are not well off, and a few dollars or tens of dollars are not enough.
If she wasn't desperate, she would never come to find Lu Youyou.
"Why don't you help me? You obviously don't need money, so why can't you help me?" Li Mingyue became more and more excited as she spoke.
"I know you look down on me, you have looked down on me since the first day. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to help me because we are both Chinese. Why not? How can you be so cruel!!"
The sudden roar made passers-by stop and some people in the dormitory building began to look out.
Although they didn’t understand Chinese, everyone could see the quarrel.
When Song Yunqing heard the noise, she ran down like the wind and inserted herself between Lu Youyou and Li Mingyue.
“Li Mingyue, watch your words!” After saying that, she turned around and supported Lu Youyou, looking her up and down, “Is sister-in-law okay?”
Lu Youyou shook her head and pulled Song Yunqing behind her.
"Li Mingyue, I'll say it again. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, please contact the embassy. It's useless to come to me. I can't help you."
Li Mingyue looked at the two bright and beautiful people in front of her, and thought of the hardships she had endured in the first half of her life, and smiled sadly.
"The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets. All right, Lu Youyou, I hope you won't fall into the mire one day!"
Song Yunqing was so angry that she was about to die. What the hell was wrong with this woman?
She grabbed Lu Youyou's arm, trying to break through the encirclement and pull Li Mingyue over to scold her.
Who is this, bullying her for not memorizing enough Tang poems? !
“You, you…”
Song Yunqing indeed hadn't memorized enough, so in a fit of anger she switched to the English channel and scolded Li Mingyue.
The crowd of onlookers had been listening to incomprehensible things, but now they finally understood. Dozens of pairs of eyes from all directions stared at Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue's courage had been used up a few minutes ago. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she became the timid Li Mingyue again.
She couldn't utter a word, she covered her face and ran away crying.
Song Yunqing returned to the dormitory still feeling unsatisfied. No one had ever pointed at her nose and scolded her in her life. Scolding Lu Youyou was scolding her, and she felt the same way!
"Is this person sick? Why is he here to cause trouble for no reason?"
Lu Youyou thought about it, stood up and said, "I'll go downstairs and make a phone call, and I'll come back and tell you later."
"Ah? Oh oh, go ahead and go..."
Lu Youyou dialed the 24-hour "hotline" again, and the call was picked up after three rings. The call was soon transferred to Zhao Xiang.
"Hey, Lu-san, what's wrong?"
"Comrade Zhao, I have something to report to you..."
Lu Youyou only narrated the objective facts, without adding or subtracting anything. The only subjective description was the speculation about Li Mingyue's physical condition.
It’s not that I want to ruin Li Mingyue’s reputation, but if she chooses a black-hearted clinic, her life might be in danger.
Zhao Xiang has handled countless cases of stranded international students over the years. Or perhaps it can’t be called a “case” because the punishment system is difficult to implement and 99% of the stranded students’ problems end up being left unresolved.
They do not have the power to enforce the law, and if someone insists on not returning, they can do nothing as long as the US does not repatriate them.
However, when it comes to life safety, we should save people if possible.
"I see. We'll see how the situation plays out. How about you, Lu? Are you okay?"
Zhao Xiang cares about this the most, and he cannot let some trivial matters affect Lu Youyou's study and research.
"It's okay. I'm fine."
"That's good. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Lu, no matter what happens, take care of yourself first and don't be impulsive."
Zhao Xiang couldn't help but give detailed instructions. It was not that he wanted to make special arrangements, but he really couldn't take care of the students who stayed behind. A hundred of them were not as important as one Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou smiled and said, "I know, Comrade Zhao."
