Chapter 53 Where did she get the money?
Lin Xi's heart was pounding at 180 beats per minute. She didn't want to know about such an embarrassing thing, so when Song Xu was about to kiss her, she reached out and blocked his mouth.
While Song Xu was stunned, Lin Xi crouched down and slipped under his arm, quickly escaping the room.
Song Xu closed his eyes, pounded the wall hard, and gritted his teeth as he shouted the name that enraged him: "Lin Xi!"
Lin Xi returned to her room, clutching her chest and trying to calm her heart, which was pounding in her throat.
Fortunately, she was determined and quick-witted, otherwise she would have made a mistake.
Mr. Song had drunk too much, but she hadn't. If they ended up kissing like this in a daze, how would they face each other afterwards?
...
Song Xu disappeared and did not return to the apartment for half a month.
Song Chen seemed to know that Song Xu wasn't there, and he never came back.
Lin Xi lived alone in a high-end apartment, feeling uneasy and always having the feeling that she could be kicked out at any moment.
She hasn't been idle these days either, and has sold two more items, one of which is Shen Yan's watch, which sold for 200,000 yuan, earning her 20,000 yuan.
Lin Xi was extremely excited to see her bank balance double.
This was the first time she had ever had so much money.
However, her joy was short-lived. She transferred 20,000 yuan to Song Xu and sent a message: "[Mr. Song, I'm returning 20,000 yuan to you now. Combined with the previous 1,000 yuan, the total is now 21,000 yuan.]"
Song Xu has been discussing projects in Baiyun City these days.
Song Chen was also there; as Huayue Group's legal counsel, he stayed by Song Xu's side the whole time.
When Song Xu saw the message from Lin Xi, he raised an eyebrow. "Is the sun rising in the west today? This stinky rock actually knows to send me messages?"
Is Lin Xi panicking because he hasn't spoken to her for so many days?
Whether it's him playing hard to get or her playing hard to get, whoever speaks first loses.
Song Xu thought for a moment and realized there was another possibility: Lin Xi might be in trouble, and she might only contact him when she needed his help.
He sighed, opened Lin Xi's message, and saw a transfer of 20,000 yuan first. Song Xu frowned. Why did she transfer 20,000 yuan to him?
Where did this money come from?
He looked down and saw another message. It was Lin Xi returning the money she owed him. Was there a thousand yuan left? Song Xu thought for a long time before he remembered that it was the fee Lin Xi earned as a car model.
Ha! She's really good at calculating. She wants to pay him back as soon as possible and then sever ties with him. He shouldn't have had any illusions about Lin Xi.
Song Xu turned off his phone screen, threw it aside, and looked extremely ugly.
"What's wrong?" Song Chen patted Song Xu's shoulder. "Who offended our Young Master Song?"
Song Xu shook his head. "It's nothing."
They were at a dinner table, with business partners sitting opposite them, so it wasn't appropriate to talk about anything else. Song Xu composed himself.
The partner on the other side is the largest import and export trading company in Baishan City, and it ranks among the top in the country.
"President Song, let me toast you," Bai Qi'an raised his glass, "I hope our cooperation will be fruitful this time."
Song Xu stood up and clinked glasses with Bai Qi'an, "It's a pleasure working with you!"
Both of them tilted their heads back and drank the wine in their glasses.
Bai Qi'an put down his wine glass and looked at Song Xu with admiration. "President Song is so young yet so capable. It's truly enviable."
“You are about the same age as my sister. My sister can’t get enough of anything, but she’s not good at anything. She’s just good-looking and does well in school.”
Song Xu chuckled dryly. He sensed that President Bai wasn't belittling his sister, but rather showing off.
"Is President Bai's sister in high school?" Song Chen asked, seeing that Song Xu was not responding to President Bai's words and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Bai Qi'an's eyes softened considerably when he mentioned his younger sister, "She's a freshman this year."
"Which university?" Song Chen asked again. Since he was a good student, he must have been admitted to a prestigious university.
Bai Qi'an almost mentioned that his younger sister was at Jiangbei University, but remembering her warning, he chuckled and said, "It's not a very good school, so let's not talk about it."
Song Chen: ...
There's really no way to respond to that.
After finishing his meal, Song Xu, who was heading back to Jiangbei City the next day, kept thinking about where Lin Xi's 20,000 yuan came from on his way back to the hotel.
"Brother," Song Xu couldn't help but ask Song Chen beside him, "How do you think a female college student from a poor family could earn 20,000 yuan in half a month?"
Upon hearing this question, Song Chen looked at Song Xu in surprise. For a family like theirs, 20,000 yuan was just a meal.
However, it would be difficult for a poor family to earn that much money in half a month, especially for a female college student.
"If a girl wants to make money but can't do manual labor, the fastest way to make money is to sell her body, sell alcohol, sell her body," Song Chen replied seriously.
Song Xu clenched his fist. "Impossible."
Lin Xi would never go back to do such a thing. If she wanted to sell herself, she would have sold herself to him long ago. He could have given her far more than 20,000.
"Then tell me, what other options are there?" Song Chen asked.
"I can't think of anything." Song Xu sighed.
Song Chen frowned. "The impoverished female college student you're talking about isn't Lin Xi, is it?"
Song Xu remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"Is she short of money?" Song Chen asked curiously. He didn't know much about Lin Xi's family situation, only that she was a nanny hired by Song Xu.
“Not available,” Song Xu replied briefly.
Without his help, Lin Xi might have sold all her body parts.
Song Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Lin Xi is a good girl. If you can help her, then do so. Don't let her go astray."
Song Xu gave a faint "hmm." He had already helped her and hadn't pressed her for repayment, but she...
Song Xu couldn't sit still any longer. He said to the driver in front, "Take me to the airport."
...
Lin Xi didn't receive a message from Song Xu, but instead received a message from Bai Tiantian complaining.
[XiXi, I'm suffering so much! Military training is so tiring, I don't want to move at all, I can't even eat properly, and I've lost so much weight.]
Lin Xi was very glad that she hadn't participated in the military training. She was physically weak and could faint from both blood and heatstroke.
She felt sorry for Bai Tiantian and planned to visit her and check on the school while she was there.
Sweetie, how about I buy some extra snacks to bring you when I visit you tomorrow?
【Great! We have an hour and a half lunch break. It would be best if you could bring me some food. The cafeteria is too crowded, and I can't get any.】 You can feel Bai Tiantian's excitement just from her words.
Lin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Then I'll cook some food and bring it to you myself."
Bai Tiantian replied with a kissing emoji.
Lin Xi glanced at the time; it was past 8 p.m., and the supermarket was still open. Maybe she could still buy some discounted items.
She picked up her phone, found a large bag, and prepared to go to the supermarket not far from her apartment to buy groceries.
Cooking for Bai Tiantian is her personal business; she can't use the employer's ingredients, so she has to buy them herself.
Song Xu rushed back to the apartment. He opened the door and, without even changing his shoes, went straight to Lin Xi's bedroom. He tried to knock, but found the door open. He pushed it open and found no one there.
He searched every corner but couldn't find Lin Xi alive.
She's not home! Where could she be at this hour?
