"Hey! Xin Xin, what's up?" Lu Xiaoyue suppressed her smile, pretending not to know anything, deliberately trying to lure the fish into her trap.
"Xiaoyue," Xu Xin said, her face grim and her voice pitiful, "My family called and said my mother's illness has worsened and they need 100,000 yuan. I...I..."
In the past, whenever Xu Xin said "I, I, I" a few times, Lu Xiaoyue would pat her chest and loudly proclaim:
"Xin Xin, we're best friends, your family's problems are my problems. How about this, give me your bank account number. It's just 100,000 yuan, right? I'll transfer it to your account in no time, you don't have to pay it back!"
Xu Xin would then make all sorts of humble and declining requests, deliberately saying, "Ah, no, no, you've already helped me so many times, how can I trouble you again and again, Xiaoyue, I really can't take your money anymore!"
Lu Xiaoyue would say, "Oh, it's only 100,000 yuan, it's not a lot of money. Our family business is all over the country, and my dad usually gives me hundreds of millions of yuan in pocket money. You can take it and use it without worry. If you don't have enough money, just tell me."
Xu Xin would say, "Xiaoyue, how can I ever thank you enough? I have no way to repay your great kindness. All I can do is stay by your side. If you need anything, just tell me. I would gladly do anything for you, even go through fire and water!"
But now, Xu Xin waited for almost half a minute and still didn't hear Lu Xiaoyue say that she wanted to transfer money to her, which surprised Xu Xin.
"What's wrong with that idiot Lu Xiaoyue today? Why hasn't she given me my money yet?"
"Did I not act miserable enough?"
"No, I need to deepen my performance."
Thinking of this, Xu Xin sighed and started sobbing on the phone.
"Xiaoyue, sometimes I really envy you. You have such a good family, loving parents, and three beautiful and wealthy older sisters, while my family is so poor."
To my family, I was just a never-ending ATM. They had no love for me; their love was only for my younger brother. I was no different from someone they found and raised.
"Hmm, Xin Xin, you're so pitiful! Why is your life so unlucky, to be born into such a family? Is it really true that people who aren't family don't enter the same door?"
Xu Xin: "..." What does she mean?
Was she mocking me?
Or are you just pitying me?
"Xiaoyue, I...I'm so sorry, I'm always causing you trouble..."
Xu Xin added a few more words.
I thought to myself, "That idiot Lu Xiaoyue should finally know what I'm up to this time."
Xu Xin was confident, thinking that after she hung up the phone, Lu Xiaoyue would definitely transfer the money to her card in 5 minutes.
Moreover, it might not just be 100,000, but 200,000 or 300,000!
Because that's how Lu Xiaoyue has always done things, and she has never let herself down.
But today, Lu Xiaoyue seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and wasn't cooperating at all.
Xu Xin had been selling for ages and it was a mess, but she hadn't even mentioned asking for money.
Xu Xin could only pretend that her cell phone signal was bad and said, "Xiaoyue, the signal is bad here. I'll call you back later."
Lu Xiaoyue nodded: "Okay, Xin Xin, I'll hang up now."
After the two hung up the phone, Xu Xin sat in Lu Xiaoyue's office chair, waiting and waiting, constantly looking up at the time.
Ten minutes have passed, and neither the "Money Arrived in Card" notification nor the "200,000 Yuan Received in Alipay" notification has sounded.
Xu Xin began to feel agitated.
Just then, thump thump thump!
Someone was knocking on the door.
Xu Xin went to open the door with a displeased look, only to see three policemen standing outside.
One of the police officers showed his police ID and said, "Hello Ms. Xu, I am a police officer from Chengjiang Road Police Station. I am here to summon you in accordance with the law."
Xu Xin was shocked: "Police? I haven't done anything illegal, what right do you have to summon me?"
"You're here because you're suspected of stealing trade secrets!"
Xu Xin: "...What? Stealing trade secrets? I didn't! Did you summon the wrong person?!"
...
"Tiger, you haven't called me for two days. Where are you now? I miss you."
After Liu Ruyan was sent away from Lu Chi's [Haha You] company by Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu had not contacted her for two days.
After staying in a hotel for two days, Liu Ruyan began to panic.
She was worried that Zhang Hu would leave her alone in Beijing, and then how would she support herself?
Although I am very beautiful and could easily find any job, I have long been used to a life of being waited on hand and foot in northern Myanmar for the past few years. With free meals provided, who would want to work like a slave from dawn till dusk?
Zhang Hu and Lu Chi had a housewarming ceremony last night. The two brothers got drunk and slept in the same bed, chatting all night.
Lu Chi returned to the company when it got light, while Zhang Hu stayed home to rest for the day.
Upon receiving Liu Ruyan's call, Zhang Hu said impatiently, "Where could I be? I've already promised to bring you to Beijing. From now on, you go your way and I'll go mine. Don't bother me anymore."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan exclaimed, "This is terrible! We'll have to rely on Brother Hu no matter what!"
"Brother Tiger," Liu Ruyan cried, her delicate voice sounding so pitiful, "Brother Tiger, I'm a stranger in this place, and I don't have any money. If you don't want me, how am I supposed to survive?"
Hearing no response on the other end of the phone, Liu Ruyan continued to cry, "Brother Tiger, please take me with you, please keep me here. I promise I'll be good. I'll do your laundry and cook for you, massage your back and feet, cheer you up, and solve your problems. Brother Tiger, please don't abandon me, please~"
Zhang Hu, it's not that he doesn't love Liu Ruyan, but he can't stand seeing her cry.
He might say he loves her, but deep down he just wants to have some fun. If he were to find someone to marry and settle down with in the future, it definitely wouldn't be Liu Ruyan!
"Brother Tiger, please don't ignore me, okay? I haven't eaten all day, I'm so hungry, where are you? Please take me to eat."
Zhang Hu finally softened and said coldly, "I've sent you the location. Take a taxi here yourself!"
Liu Ruyan was overjoyed: "Mmm~ I'll take a taxi right away~ I knew Brother Hu cared about me the most and couldn't bear to part with me."
Twenty minutes later, Liu Ruyan took a taxi to the Banshan Yunnuan Villa area.
The luxurious scene before her left her speechless with astonishment.
At the same time, she couldn't find her way, so she quickly called Zhang Hu: "Brother Hu, I don't know which number you live in. I can't get in. The security guard won't let me into the community."
Zhang Hu asked his steward, Lao Gong, to pick up Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan arrived at the entrance of the Yunnuan Villa on the mountainside.
Standing there with her curves in all the right places, looking up at the luxurious three-story villa, she felt a surge of joy at the thought of living in such a place in the future.
