Chapter 181 A Fear of Losing Face



Gu Jingyan's taunts infuriated the driver, who even wanted to get out of the car and teach Gu Jingyan a lesson.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Dingdong quickly pushed Gu Jingyan away, thus preventing such an unexpected disaster.

But Gu Jingyan didn't appreciate it.

"Why did you push me? I don't believe he dares to hit me. If he does, I'll lie down and extort tens of thousands of yuan from him! I'll show him that the most powerful weapon isn't fists, but the law!"

Upon hearing Gu Jingyan's words, Xiao Dingdong suddenly burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Gu Jingyan frowned.

Xiao Dingdong immediately stopped smiling, but she still handed the card to Gu Jingyan.

Without a second thought, Gu Jingyan tossed the card aside and then maneuvered his electric wheelchair forward.

Xiao Dingdong quickly picked up the card and ran up again, continuing to follow beside him. Gu Jingyan picked up the zero digit to scare her.

"If you keep talking to me like that, believe me, I'll slap you!"

Xiao Dingdong was startled and stepped back, then took out an electronic tablet and wrote a sentence.

[Then I'll lie down and extort tens of thousands of yuan from you.]

Seeing that his words, which he had just spoken, had been returned to him, Gu Jingyan was also stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh. When he laughed, Xiao Dingdong also laughed, and Gu Jingyan deliberately put on a serious face again.

"It's all your fault! I was trying to be serious, but you ruined it. How embarrassing was that for me?"

Xiao Dingdong stuck out her tongue.

I continued to follow behind him.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of her, Gu Jingyan started rambling on and on, his belly full of complaints. Although Xiao Dingdong couldn't speak, she would nod to show that she was listening, and would occasionally write a few words down.

The two walked aimlessly forward, seemingly forgetting the passage of time, and before they knew it, it was already evening.

Watching the setting sun gradually disappear into the distance, Gu Jingyan remained silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Go back to work. Today is the last time we'll see each other. Don't come looking for me again, and I won't go to see you anymore."

This was a question he had been thinking about all day. In his current state, he had no face to stand in front of Xiao Dingdong, and even less face to go back to a place like Linglong Club to live a carefree life.

[You've bought my time, and now it belongs to you. Come back with me; you can stay at the Linglong Club.]

Members of Linglong Club can stay there without paying for food and drinks. Some members who don't want to go home will even stay there for a month or two.

Meals are delivered to me every day at set times, and I get a massage every now and then; life is very pleasant.

Gu Jingyan shook his head with a wry smile.

"Fool, I didn't buy your time. Your manager lied to you. I didn't spend any money, so you don't need to feel guilty. I won't go there anymore, and you can serve other clients."

After holding it in all day, Gu Jingyan finally spoke up. He didn't want to lie to the girl; he clearly hadn't paid for her time, and he couldn't bear the guilt she felt towards him.

Xiao Dingdong was stunned. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way; it was completely unexpected.

“I know you came with me today out of pity and guilt. You don’t need to feel guilty. This has nothing to do with you. This kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later. So I won’t accept your money. That’s what I paid for. I enjoyed your service, and I won’t give it back. That’s your earnings. Do you understand?”

Gu Jingyan turned to look at the surprised Xiao Dingdong.

"You're so stupid. You actually chased after the person to return the money. There's no woman in the world more stupid than you. Be smarter next time. If I had lied to you just now, you would have been completely fooled by me. You might have already lost your virginity to me. Hehe, you would have been cheated out of money and sex, making your already difficult life even worse. Go back. I want to be alone for a while."

Gu Jingyan pushed the wheelchair away.

This time, Xiao Dingdong didn't follow. Just as Gu Jingyan said, she felt very guilty today, feeling that she had harmed Gu Jingyan, and that the other party had also bought her time.

But unexpectedly, things weren't like that, so it doesn't matter if I don't return the money to him?

While she was struggling with her decision, Gu Jingyan had already walked away.

...

Seeing that the other party did not continue to follow, Gu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little disappointed.

"Heh, what am I expecting? Do I expect her to actually like me as a person? Don't be silly, in places like this, it's all about profit, where can you find any genuine feelings?"

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, then, seeing that it was already dark, picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hey, I'm at Lakeside Park, come pick me up."

He called his close friend.

"Um... Jingyan, I'm currently out of town and can't come over."

"It's okay, I'll just go to your house. I know your house code."

"Um... my girlfriend and her best friend are at my house, so it's not convenient."

Gu Jingyan frowned.

"Never mind then, I'll find someone else!"

"Wait a minute, Jingyan, why don't you go back and apologize to your dad? He definitely won't be really angry with you..."

"Don't say things like that. If you're friends, don't mention him again. I'm hanging up!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jingyan made several more calls, all to his close friends. He had nowhere to go. The place he stayed a few days ago had been taken back by his father, so he could no longer go there.

But after calling several times, the other party kept making excuses. He wasn't stupid; he could tell that the other party didn't want him to go.

He smashed his phone in anger.

"Damn it! They used to call me brother and say how great we were, but now that I'm in trouble, they all cower like turtles. What kind of friends are they?"

He cursed a few times, then struggled to pick up his phone from the ground. The screen was broken, but it still worked. He checked WeChat and found he had no money left.

Looking at those mobile banking apps again, they were all frozen.

He felt somewhat helpless. He knew he only had some change on him, and now he didn't even have the face to call his friends and ask them to transfer some money.

He's already refused to let him stay there, so if he still shamelessly asks for money, then he really has no face left.

Just when he was feeling helpless, Xiao Dingdong, who hadn't followed, suddenly appeared.

He was holding an electronic board in his hand.

"Shall I get you a room?"

...

After receiving the key at the hotel reception, Gu Jingyan coughed.

"Let me make it clear first, this money is a loan from you, and I will pay you back later!"

Xiao Dingdong smiled and nodded.

The two entered the elevator.

The receptionist saw this strange pair and then laughed.

...

After settling Gu Jingyan in, Xiao Dingdong was about to leave when Gu Jingyan said something else.

"Um... lend me some more money..."
