In the heart of Hongjing City, on a pedestrian street, lies Li's Cash Box. This entertainment venue, newly opened last year, is part bar, part restaurant. It can host large parties as well as private rooms for drinking and singing.
“There are so many people here…”
Xu Xianxian looked at the bustling street, stood at the door of Li Ji Cash Box, put out her hand to block the light on her forehead, and scanned the surrounding environment with her big eyes.
At this moment, her long hair fell over her shoulders. She wore a simple light blue short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans that hugged her slender legs. She didn't bring a handbag with her because she still felt that it was too feminine and inconvenient to carry. As for her small wallet and phone, she had to force them into her trouser pockets.
It was afternoon, a scorching summer day. Even the wind in the air was hot. Every time she took a breath, her lungs felt hot and stuffy. She regretted coming out at this time.
Wouldn’t it be more pleasant to stay home and take a nap?
"Little fairy, why are you so slow?"
Just when Xu Xianxian was feeling a little annoyed, someone patted her shoulder hard from the right. She quickly turned around and saw a tall girl complaining with some dissatisfaction.
Her makeup was exquisite, but the foundation on her face was too thick, creating a stark contrast with the skin tone of her neck. Add to that her revealing clothing and smoky eyeshadow, and she didn't look like a serious student.
Xu Xianxian's innocent and childish look is completely different from him.
Xu Xianxian carefully identified the other person's facial features, barely able to match them with the person in her memory. She tentatively asked, "...Li Xiaobing?"
"Are you okay? Come over here when you see the big sister." Li Xiaobing hooked one hand around Xu Xianxian's neck and dragged her inside. He leaned close to the little girl's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Wang Dechen is upstairs. I'll create an opportunity for you later. Seize it!"
Xu Xianxian was a little uncomfortable with Li Xiaobing's intimate behavior. She subconsciously struggled twice to free herself from his arms and said helplessly, "I don't like Wang Dechen. Don't create any opportunities for me."
Hearing Xu Xianxian's words, Li Xiaobing paused twice, her expression suddenly darkening. "...You said you had a crush on Wang Dechen. I've already arranged everything for today, but now you're going back on your word. Aren't you embarrassing me?"
Her black eyeshadow made her look particularly charming, and she looked at the short Xu Xianxian like a wolf looking at a lamb.
When Xu Xianxian heard this, her heart immediately became clear as a mirror. It turned out that she did not have any feelings for Wang Dechen, but this Li Xiaobing seemed to have reached some agreement with Wang Dechen.
And I was sold out without knowing it.
"In that case, I won't go."
Xu Xianxian frowned, pursed her rosy lips, and refused directly.
Things are different now than in her previous life. She has no intertwined interests with this group of high school classmates, and they will have no contact after going to college. There is no need to continue to please them.
People like Li Xiaobing are not suitable to be friends, whether in the past life or this life.
"Wait..." Li Xiaobing saw Xu Xianxian turn around and leave, so she immediately grabbed the girl's hand and came over: "Well, actually, that idiot Wang Dechen also has a crush on you, and this time he even asked me to help bring you together. Just attend this class reunion, and it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, just consider it a favor for me, your sister."
At this point, Xu Xianxian's expression remained unchanged, which made Li Xiaobing's eyes flash with a hint of anger. He then gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you participate to the end, I will give you a reward of 2,000 yuan."
She knew that Xu Xianxian's family was not well off and she had to do odd jobs even during the summer vacation. She could earn 2,000 yuan by attending a party, so the other party would definitely not refuse.
2,000 yuan!
Xu Xianxian was poor and had low aspirations. When she heard the price offered by Li Xiaobing, her beautiful big eyes instantly emitted a bright luster, adding a touch of charm to her.
Having lived in poverty for so long, she knew she could never get along with anyone except money. Besides, it was just a party. If there was really a problem, wouldn't she have run away?
This is a public place, in front of everyone, why is she still afraid of what Li Xiaobing and Wang Dechen will do?
So, after thinking for a few seconds, Xu Xianxian held up three fingers and said, "...It's not impossible, but I want three thousand. If you don't agree, I'll leave."
Since they are trying to bribe me with money, it is of course the case that they would ask for more. If they really don't agree, it would be the same if I change my mind and ask for only two thousand yuan.
As a person who has worked in the workplace, Xu Xianxian has no idea what shame is.
Damn little money-grubber!
Li Xiaobing almost swore at being asked to raise the price so brutally. She looked at Xu Xianxian's smiling and mercenary look. How could she look like a young and innocent fairy at all?
A black-hearted businessman.
Li Xiaobing thought about the 10,000 yuan Wang Dechen gave her, and felt a little sorry for the money she had spent. But in order for Xu Xianxian to attend the party, she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, 3,000 is 3,000."
Seeing that the other party agreed so easily, Xu Xianxian immediately realized that she had asked for too little. However, in order to prevent Li Xiaobing from changing his mind, she did not raise the price. Instead, she stretched out her pink little hand and raised her head with an innocent look: "Then give me the money now."
Li Xiaobing was very upset, but she suppressed her anger, took out a stack of money from her handbag, and stuffed it into Xu Xianxian's hand in front of a group of people.
