Shao Mo nodded slightly, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Oh, wasn't it during your class activity last time that Shi Xiaowen took a ride with your uncle? After she came back, she told everyone that you were stingy and that you charged a classmate for the ride. The news even spread to our class."

When Shao Mo heard Shi Xiaowen spread the word that she was stingy, she was stunned for a moment, then she laughed.

"Shao Mo, you can still laugh, aren't you angry?"

"Instead of being angry, I want to thank her."

"Ah? Why?"

"I don't like giving rides to people I don't know, but it's hard to refuse someone who comes to me. With her spreading the word, no one will want to take my ride anymore. It can be regarded as saving me a lot of trouble."

Zhong Xiaochen suddenly realized, "That's right, but if you do that, you'll be known as stingy."

"It doesn't matter. Reputation is a matter of opinion. Those who understand me don't need explanation, and those who don't understand me don't need explanation."

Zhong Xiaochen smiled and took her arm. "Anyway, I know you are not a stingy person. Besides, the car belongs to your uncle, not you."

"What if the car is mine?"

"It's yours, but you can't let people ride it for free. If the person riding in the car is your friend, you definitely won't charge them."

Shao Mo chuckled, "Well, if it were you, then I would definitely not charge you."

Zhong Xiaochen was so happy that he said, "I know I'm different from others. Shao Mo, I'm actually the same. If I don't have a good relationship with someone, I won't lend them even a piece of paper. But if I have a good relationship with someone, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to lend them anything I have.

Don't bother with Shi Xiaowen anymore. She doesn't even think about the two hours it takes to get from school to Badaling by bus. She wants to take a ride comfortably and doesn't want to pay. There is no such good thing in the world. If I see her gossiping about you again, I will definitely scold her!"

For Shao Mo, there was no need to take such a small matter to heart, but she didn't expect there would be a follow-up.

After class, Zeng Fang was riding her bicycle not far from the school gate when she was blocked by a black and red jeep.

"How did you open it..."

As the jeep's cab window was lowered, Zeng Fang's words of condemnation became stuck in her throat.

Seeing that she was staring without saying anything, Shen Zhen pulled the corner of his lips lightly and pushed the sunglasses on his nose to the top of his head. He rested his other elbow on the car window frame and looked at her playfully with his thin single eyelids.

"The short legs kick pretty fast."

Zeng Fang blushed with anger, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm going to catch you!"

Zhou Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car, swaggered around the front of the car and stood in front of her.

"Do you think you can run away? Why don't you ask who our Brother Zhen is? Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can still catch you. Do you believe it?"

Shen Zhen opened the car door and got out, standing in front of her with his hands on his hips, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, where's the money?"

Zeng Fang was a little confused, "What money?"

Shen Zhen curled his lips, took out a thick bill from his shirt pocket and handed it to her.

Zeng Fang took it and looked at it, and almost fainted.

"You are blackmailing me. You spent 2,000 yuan on medical expenses just for one day in the hospital?"

Before in the ward, she was very confident because she thought the medical expenses would not exceed one hundred or two thousand yuan at most. Even if she sold herself, she couldn't come up with so much money.

"That stuff you sprayed has caused damage to my brother Zhen's eyes and body. Although Brother Zhen has been discharged from the hospital, he still needs to take medicine to suppress and remove the drug residue in his body, and maintain his eyes regularly. The whole course of treatment will take half a year."

Zeng Fang flipped open the thick list of expenses and saw that, just as Zhou Ye had said, in addition to the cost of this hospitalization, there were also fees for medicines, regular check-ups, eye care, etc., which totaled two thousand yuan.

Faced with this heavy and sky-high bill, Zeng Fang had no choice but to bow her head and say, "I don't have that much money at the moment. Please give me some time, and I will gather it together as soon as possible."

"I didn't default on my debt!"

"So what were you running for yesterday?"

Zeng Fang was at a loss for words.

The reason why she ran away could not be told.

At this moment, Shen Zhen turned around and opened the back door of the car. Before Zeng Fang could react, a big golden retriever jumped in front of her, scaring her.

“Woof woof!”

Although we know that golden retrievers will not bite people randomly, the sight of them barking with their mouths open is still quite scary.

"Fuck!"

It was not until Shen Zhen called out that the golden retriever calmed down. It kept wagging its tail and looking at Zeng Fang, as if curious about her identity.

Just as Zeng Fang and Jinmao were staring at each other, Shen Zhen spoke up, "If you can't pay, just use yourself as collateral."

"You wish!"

Shen Zhen sneered at her subconscious action of covering her chest, "You are dreaming, what I mean is that you should work for me to pay off my debt."

Realizing that she had caused a misunderstanding, Zeng Fang's face suddenly turned red all the way to her neck.

Shen Zhen pointed at the golden retriever at his feet and said, "The doctor said that his weight and body fat are overweight and he needs to exercise more. I don't have time to take him out for a walk. From now on, you can take him out for a walk for half an hour every day. It will pay off the debt of 10 yuan each time. Do you want to do it?"

Zeng Fang started calculating quickly in her head.

2000÷10=200, once a day is 200 days, which is approximately equal to 6 months.

Walking his dog for half a year can earn him 2,000 yuan, which means he earns 2,000 yuan in half a year if rounded off. Doesn’t that seem like a good deal?

"Words are not enough. Write me an agreement."

"Okay."

So the three of them went to a printing shop and printed out an agreement to use dog walking to pay for medical expenses. The agreement was made in duplicate, and each person took one copy.

After signing the agreement, Shen Zhen threw her a bunch of keys and a note with the apartment address.

"Starting tomorrow, come and take Fake out for a walk for half an hour every afternoon. Aside from drinking water and dog food, don't give him anything else."

"knew."

Watching the jeep driving away arrogantly, Zeng Fang folded the agreement depressedly and put it into the inner layer of her backpack along with the key and the note.

In the jeep, Zhou Ye was rubbing the golden retriever's head with a smile on his face.

"Brother Zhen, you still have a way. You came up with such a dirty trick to mess with that fat girl. Let's see if she dares to spray you with potion in the future."

Shen Zhen did not comment.

As the welcome party approached, Shao Mo became busy. Because the performance would be using the school's piano, she had to go to the piano room to practice after lunch every day. At the same time, she also needed to prepare performance costumes and attend rehearsals two days later.

That day, Shao Mo was practicing in the piano room after lunch when Zhong Xiaochen rushed in.

"Shao Mo, I'm so mad!"

Shao Mo stopped and asked, "What happened?"
