Chapter 50
To be honest, it was quite unexpected to meet Pei Muyang here.
Xie Yuqing was surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down.
She looked at the boy in front of her, and the boy's expression was indescribably cold.
She knew that she had indeed pissed him off, and she never regretted it, but she just hoped that she could be more decent when solving the problem.
This restaurant is very famous, and the people who come and go are all rich and powerful people. If she continues to make trouble here, the consequences will definitely be very ugly.
She didn't want this to happen. This was the best option available to her at the moment.
"Please..." Xie Yuqing slightly closed his eyelids, looking humble.
In front of so many people, she wanted to maintain her last bit of dignity. She looked at Pei Muyang with pleading eyes, begging him to let her go, "Don't do it here... solve it..."
She still needs this job, she needs money, and she also needs a large sum of money for traveling abroad.
As long as she is still in the country, she may be found by that man after a while, so this is her only chance to get rid of her identity as a mistress.
What she didn't expect was that Pei Muyang actually gave her respect.
The man who was originally furious and looked like he was about to fight looked up and saw that the area around him was full of people who had come to watch the commotion. They were gathered in groups of three or four and whispering to each other.
Pei Muyang suddenly felt soft-hearted, not knowing what he was thinking about.
He stared intently at the people in the crowd who were pleading with him for a long time, then said, "Okay."
He glanced at Xie Yuqing with a cold gaze, as if looking at a trapped beast in a cage, waiting to be slaughtered.
Then he turned and left.
Pei Muyang asked for leave from Jiang Chengyi and made a private appointment with Xie Yuqing to meet again the next day.
She couldn't run away this time. Running away was definitely a price she couldn't afford.
The two of them found a quiet coffee shop just like they did when they first met, and still sat by the window. She still ordered the cappuccino, a drink she found difficult to swallow.
But this time, she was afraid she wouldn't be as fearless as she was the first time.
"When did you come to City C?" Pei Muyang fiddled with the coffee cup on the table and asked in a flat tone.
"About ten days ago." Xie Yuqing looked at the boy opposite with a slightly stiff expression, then lowered his eyelids.
Because she wanted to avoid that man, she came to this strange city alone.
She didn't dare look for a job with good pay because she was afraid that the man would find out about her job that matched her major, so she could only work as a waiter in that restaurant.
The treatment was acceptable, but it was far from the life she had originally hoped for.
"Are you afraid of him?"
"Afraid?" A flash of hatred passed through Xie Yuqing's face. "He has evidence against me as a mistress. How could I not be afraid?"
But she still mustered up the courage to give it a try, because her life shouldn't be like this. She didn't want to be a mistress all her life, and she didn't want her life to be controlled by that hateful man.
She couldn't bear that immoral life even on the first day, so she tried every possible way to escape.
Even left City A.
"Why did you lie to me?" This is what Pei Muyang was confused about.
Logically speaking, since he did it so readily, she should keep his promise, right?
He had never offended her from the beginning to the end, so why could she play tricks on him like this?
"I didn't mean to lie to you. I thought... I thought you cared about the exchange student spot, so I wanted to make an outrageous request first, and then after you refused, I would ask for what I really wanted. I really didn't expect you to agree so readily."
Xie Yuqing spoke in a very calm tone, neither arrogant nor hysterical as before. After experiencing so many right and wrongs and tasting the world's coldness and indifference, she has become indifferent to everything. All she wants is to live well, stand higher than others, and live better than anyone else.
She did feel guilty, but so what?
She has to try to survive after all.
However, Pei Muyang sneered coldly, "So you're going around in circles like this? Actually, with so many things happening in my family, I never thought about going abroad. You can just tell me what you want. There's no need to play those tricks. But the last thing you should do is play tricks on me."
"I'm sorry. I know that no matter how many times I say sorry, it won't make up for it. Why don't we have a frank talk?"
"Okay, I want you to go online and clarify the truth of the matter and clear my father's name."
"You should know that if I did that, I would be despised by everyone and cyberbullied. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay in China anymore."
"So what?" Pei Muyang snorted, sitting back on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Like the ancient Greek god who controls the aura.
"Don't have too big an appetite, or you might end up eating too much."
"Whether you give it to me or not is your business, Pei. Whether I can eat it or not is my ability, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Very good. I'm all ears. Tell me your terms."
"I want money." Lots and lots of money.
Enough to leave here and say goodbye to the past that is too painful to look back on.
Start a new life.
"How much do you want?"
"Five hundred thousand." Xie Yuqing said it firmly, leaving no room for doubt.
This made Pei Muyang laugh.
“I don’t have that much money.”
Today, he can't even come up with 500,000, let alone 500,000.
All the family savings were used to treat Pei Yu's illness, and even the house was stolen. Where could he find so much money?
“No, no?”
Xie Yuqing was stunned for a moment, "I thought a family like yours..."
Why?
Do you think he is still that carefree junior?
Unfortunately, all this has changed a long time ago. Ever since he provoked that psychopath Chen Yiwei, everything has changed.
However, he didn't intend to tell anyone this.
He changed the subject and asked, "What do you need so much money for?"
"Go abroad." Xie Yuqing didn't intend to hide his plan and said, "Leave here and live my own life."
"I really don't have that much money." Pei Muyang paused, thought about it, and continued, "But I will try my best to make up for it."
"You don't blame me for being materialistic?"
"You paid the price, so I should pay you."
To put it bluntly, we are all social animals, no one is nobler than anyone else. There is no need to sacrifice money for dignity.
"……good."
Xie Yuqing hesitated for a moment and nodded in response.
After returning to the hotel, Pei Muyang sat there with a pen and a notebook in his hands, worrying.
He is just an ordinary college student, not a bandit who robs houses. Where can he get so much money?
He wrote with the pen in his hand for a long time, calculating the assets in his hands and all the money that could be embezzled.
All in all, I could only afford 20,000 yuan.
This is far from enough for a young girl to live a life of ease and comfort abroad.
It’s not that his Saint Father illness has recurred, but since it is a transaction with a clear price tag, Pei Muyang will never owe others anything, and he has no regrets.
For now, there is only one solution.
The dog's stealthy figure flashed out from the door of the top suite, crossed the corridor, and stood in front of another door.
He hesitated again and again, but still didn't dare to knock on the door.
He admitted that he was unsure.
He and Jiang Chengyi were only in an employer-employee relationship. Even if they were a little thick-skinned, they could barely be considered ordinary friends.
He really couldn't bring himself to borrow 500,000 yuan from someone.
But he had no choice.
He promised Xie Yuqing to raise money. In order to make her willingly clarify Pei Yu's affairs, he could only make a fair deal and find a way to raise this huge sum of money.
If it was the Pei family before the accident, perhaps they could come up with this money.
But now the Pei family is burdened by huge debts, and even their house has been stolen.
Where would he get the money?
He paced back and forth hesitantly, and finally, he made up his mind.
At worst, I could just sell myself to Chengyi Group and become a long-term worker...
The door was opened by the owner after being knocked lightly. Pei Muyang and Jiang Chengyi stared at each other.
The standard yukata in the room was worn by a man with a well-proportioned body. His height of nearly 1.9 meters made the style look short, making his legs look long and straight. The yukata belt was tied casually at the waist, but for some reason, most of his chest was exposed, and everything that could be seen and shouldn't be seen was seen.
Jiang Chengyi must have just finished taking a shower. His slightly curly short hair was still dripping with water, and it followed the lines of his superior face and disappeared into his bathrobe from his shoulders and neck.
Damn, this man is dressed so slutty... Oh no, he's wearing so little.
"What's up?"
Jiang Chengyi leaned against the door frame, lowered his chin slightly and looked at the boy in front of him.
The boy glanced at the free scenery inadvertently, secretly hating the superior figure.
They are all men. Although Pei Muyang is not a popular male idol, he is at least 1.82 meters tall. However, he is still half a head shorter than Jiang Chengyi when standing in front of him.
The momentum was gone in an instant.
"Um...Brother Yi, can you please do me a favor?"
"Of course." Jiang Chengyi's eyes flashed with a hint of success. He stood up straight and made room for a person. "Come in and talk."
"Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Pei Muyang had no objection. It was indeed not convenient to talk about borrowing money while standing in the corridor. It would be better to go inside and talk about it. Although it was quite late, two grown men were not afraid of any rumors, and there was nothing to worry about.
"Sit anywhere." After entering the room, Jiang Chengyi pointed at the sofa and invited Pei Muyang to sit down, while he looked for something in the room.
"Brother Yi, what are you looking for?"
"hair dryer."
Jiang Chengyi's hair was still dripping with water, and if he didn't blow it dry immediately, it would easily cause a headache.
Seeing this, Pei Muyang couldn't sit there anymore. He stood up and helped look for it.
Hair dryers in hotels are usually placed in the washbasin, but it was obviously not there. If the hotel was not careless and forgot to put it there, then Jiang Chengyi had just moved it to another location.
He looked for several places he thought might be the right place, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a familiar plug vaguely sticking out of a miscellaneous drawer under the bedside table.
Because all the hair dryers in the room were of the same brand, Pei Muyang easily recognized that it was what he was looking for.
So he shouted "Found it", then took a step across the distance, opened the half-closed drawer in front of him, and saw the familiar black and pink hair dryer lying on top of several flat-lying XXL black shorts.
Pei Muyang: “…”
I don’t understand. I don’t understand.
I feel like my eyes are not clean anymore, who can save him?
