If others see this, it will surely bring endless trouble upon myself.
Could it be that I've been away from home for three years and have picked up too much of the crowd?
Su Yuxi sighed softly, like a flower that had been squeezed dry, and rested on the ground for more than ten minutes.
After regaining her strength, she slowly propped herself up and listlessly strolled into the bathroom.
She tried to retract her tail several times, but for some reason, it seemed to be working against her; it would come out again just a few minutes after she retracted it.
Enraged, she gave her own tail a good beating.
That damned fox tail, is it trying to kill her? It's so disobedient.
After Su Yuxi came out of the bathroom, she was so agitated that she felt like she was about to burst into flames. She paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to put her tail back in.
She tried many methods but none of them worked, and she was so worried that she almost suffocated. Just then, someone knocked on the door.
She jumped three feet high like a startled rabbit, her face full of panic.
But thinking that they wouldn't be able to get in anytime soon, she patted her chest and calmed herself down.
After calming down, he quietly approached the door and peered through the small peephole to see what was happening outside.
Sure enough, Fu Huaijin and that man Chu Juan came back again.
This time, they were also carrying a bowl of medicine. Just by looking at the rising steam from the bowl, you could tell how bitter the medicine must be.
The medicine... She seemed to realize something, her gaze fixed on the bowl of medicine. She had always kept her tail under control, but it suddenly came out this morning and she couldn't bring it back.
There was nothing wrong with what she ate yesterday, until she drank that bowl of medicine. The moment it went into her stomach, she felt something was wrong, but at the time she thought it might be something wrong with the medicine and didn't think about the other side of the story.
So...it must be a problem with this medicine.
"Su Yuxi, open the door." Fu Huaijin knocked on the door, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Su Yuxi snapped out of her daze, lightly touching her tail with one hand, and coldly snapped at the person outside without any courtesy: "Stop knocking, just say what you need to say."
Chu Juan glanced at him sideways, never expecting that his illustrious brother would one day be scolded.
He pursed his lips slightly, suppressing a laugh, patted his shoulder, his eyes playful, saying nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
"Miss Su, I've come to deliver your medicine and also to check on your condition after you take it."
When Su Yuxi heard what she said, her heart skipped a beat. If they came in and saw her like this, she would be completely finished. "I'm fine. I don't need to see you or take any medicine. You can leave. I haven't had enough sleep. I need to sleep a little longer."
Fu Huaijin's gaze toward the gate held a deeper meaning. Although separated by the heavy gate, he could hear the urgency and repression in Su Yuxi's voice, as if she was trying her best to suppress something.
Chu Juan seemed surprised that she would refuse, and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Why? Judging from your reaction last night, the medicine was quite effective. Maybe if you drink it for a few more days, you can detoxify yourself."
Su Yuxi knew the effects of the medicine all too well. When she woke up this morning, she felt as if she had just been vomited out of the mouth of a man-eating flower. She was covered in sticky residue and had a strange smell, which showed that her body had begun to eliminate toxins. The effect was very significant.
But this medicine makes it impossible for her tail to retract, so she'd dare drink even the best medicine again.
"No, I feel very uncomfortable after drinking it, I won't drink it."
Undeterred, Chu Juan continued to persuade him, "This is a natural reaction to detoxification; it's perfectly normal and won't harm you in any way."
"Open the door first, let me take a look at you. If you're really not feeling well, I'll prepare some other medicine for you, okay?"
Su Yuxi pursed her lips, her heart filled with mixed feelings, and absentmindedly tugged at her tail: "No."
Seeing that the person inside was unmoved by reason, Chu Juan turned his gaze to Fu Huaijin: "What exactly did you do to her?"
Fu Huaijin lowered his head, his thoughts carefully sorting through the details of yesterday and today. Everything seemed normal, except that Su Yuxi had suddenly changed after waking up this morning.
"Su Yuxi, open the door first. Let's talk face to face."
Su Yuxi shook her head violently inside: "No."
Fu Huaijin frowned: "I'll give you 100,000 yuan, open the door."
"No." This time, Su Yuxi dared not ask for money; her life was far more valuable than 100,000.
"Here's five hundred thousand."
The person inside remained unmoved; no matter how much money they were offered, she simply wouldn't open the door.
"Here's five million. Open the door."
Chu Juan was surprised by his habit of constantly talking about money. When did he start using money to bribe people?
"Is this how you usually interact with her?"
Fu Huaijin pondered to himself, "Is there a problem?"
"She likes money, so I give her money." If things can be resolved smoothly, she's willing to pay for things, and everyone is happy to see it happen.
Chu Juan couldn't understand his thought process. Shouldn't friends treat each other with honesty, like clear spring water, clean and pure? Friendships bought with money are nothing but pretense and can't withstand the slightest storm.
Don't you think you're insulting someone by paying them money?
Fu Huaijin shook his head: "She won't."
Su Yuxi is willing to do anything for money, and she'll only be happy when she gets the money. There's no insult to her.
Su Yuxi inside nodded in agreement: Yes, she wouldn't. If she could, she would be happy to open the door and shamelessly take the five million.
But even if you gave her 500 million, she still wouldn't open that door.
“Su Yuxi, we’re moving to another place later. Pack your things and come out. If you don’t come out and come with me, and you can’t follow me at five o’clock, then you’re in breach of contract and will have to pay a penalty of five to ten times your wages.”
"If you don't come out, then be prepared to pay compensation."
Su Yuxi's tail stood straight up in fright, and her heart seemed to stop beating. Fu Huaijin's cold words were like the whispers of a demon in her ear, terrifying, frightening, and hateful.
Her salary was ten million, and the compensation was five times that, which is fifty million... fifty million.
Su Yuxi didn't believe it. She rushed back to the bedside table, pulled out the contract she treasured from the drawer, and quickly skimmed through the text.
Finally, at the very end of the document, there was a tiny note about breach of contract compensation.
There are indeed fines ranging from five thousand to ten times the amount.
Boom... Su Yuxi felt like the sky had collapsed.
This man wrote the words so small...who would be able to see them?
"The words are so small, how can I see them? This is contract fraud! I'm going to... I'm going to sue you! The contract is void!"
Fu Huaijin remained calm and composed, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, looking as if he had already guessed wrong: "Fine, I'll pay you ten million, you can return it first."
