Where's your face?
Seeing that Hou Yan was still trying to change the subject, Qiao Qiqi's face darkened.
"I asked you to give me the things so that we could cut ties and be even! But you've been dragging your feet and don't want to return them. What's wrong? Do you want to keep them to remind you of me, or do you just not want to give them back?"
Hou Yan frowned, looking disappointed. "Qiao Qiqi, how come you've become so vulgar and foul-mouthed since you got together with Qin Huai?"
Qiao Qiqi was furious when she saw that this scumbag didn't want to pay back the money and even dared to slander her man.
"Stop talking nonsense! My man is far more vulgar than you! It's you who's shamelessly refusing to pay back the money!"
Hou Yan's face immediately turned ugly, finally revealing his true thoughts.
"The things you gave me were all given to me voluntarily. Many of them were things I didn't want, but you forced them on me anyway. Why should I return them to you?"
Qiao Qiqi found this laughable: "Now you're telling me you don't want them, but you haven't refused any of them, and I can tell you quite like them. Aren't those shoes you're wearing right now the ones I gave you? You have a new love now, and you're still wearing the shoes I gave you before. Can't you live a normal life?"
Qiao Qiqi's words were like a slap in the face to Hou Yan, completely refuting what he had said earlier.
His face turned ashen with anger.
Wu Nana suddenly spoke up, "Hou Yan, take off your shoes and give them back to her. We don't want her junk!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiqi immediately became displeased. "The shoes I gave him were new. Why should I get back my worn-out shoes? If you're going to return them, you should return new ones."
After dragging it out for so long, Qiao Qiqi lost her patience. "Give me a straight answer: are you returning the money or the things? If you don't, we'll go to the brigade commune and have Captain Su settle this!"
Before Hou Yan could speak, Wu Nana suddenly interrupted, "Give me back the money! But you must promise that after I give you the money, you won't bother Hou Yan anymore. So many of us are here to witness this. You...you swear."
"Can."
Qiao Qiqi was there to break off her relationship with the scumbag, so she wasn't afraid at all. "If I bother Hou Yan again in the future, may I become ugly and fat, and may my son be born without an anus, okay?"
This vow—
It cannot be said that it is not poisonous.
Wu Nana had initially thought she wouldn't dare, but she was surprised to see her so readily agree.
But Qiao Qiqi's quick and decisive oath relieved her, and she immediately looked at Hou Yan with a smug expression, "Hou Yan, Qiao Qiqi has already sworn an oath, so give her the money!"
Hou Yan: "..."
Hou Yan was absolutely furious!
He had originally planned to continue pestering her, insisting that the item was given to him voluntarily by Qiao Qiqi and that he would never return it. However, Wu Nana had ruined his plans, and Qiao Qiqi had already made a solemn vow. If he didn't return it, it would seem as if he didn't want to end things.
Hou Yan now feels like killing Wu Nana.
Unfortunately, Zhang Jingya took her words to heart and thought it was a good idea. So she said to Hou Yan, "Hou Yan, hurry up and give her the money. I don't want to see her again."
Hou Yan was forced into a corner. Seeing that everyone was watching him, he could no longer continue the argument and could only reluctantly return to his house.
Soon, he came out of the house, took out five yuan and handed it to Qiao Qiqi, "That's all I have for now, I'll give you the rest later."
Are you kidding me?
Seeing that he wanted to get rid of her with five yuan, Qiao Qiqi was so angry that she laughed. "I gave you so many things before, worth at least 50 yuan, and now you're giving me only 5 yuan? Are you trying to get rid of a beggar?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Nana immediately became displeased. "The things you gave me before weren't given all at once. Now you suddenly want so much money. Who can come up with that?"
“If he doesn’t have it, I’ll lend it to him! I gave him three days, but he’s useless, so it’s not my fault! Anyway, I have to get 50 yuan today, otherwise, the oath I swore earlier won’t count.”
Qiao Qiqi knew that this was what they feared most.
But Wu Nana suddenly changed her tune, "Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? What if you don't care about this? Is this just another way of playing hard to get?"
Qiao Qiqi naturally had no way to prove this, so she could only say, "Whether it is or not, you'll know once you give it to me."
Wu Nana gritted her teeth. Although she was unwilling, she still took out 10 yuan from her pocket and slapped it into Hou Yan's hand.
"Consider this 10 yuan a gift; you don't need to pay it back. Hurry up and give it to her, tell her to get lost!"
Hou Yan looked up with gratitude. "Nana, thank you. I'm so glad I made you my friend."
When she met the man's handsome face, Wu Nana couldn't help but blush. But when she caught Zhang Jingya's disapproving gaze out of the corner of her eye, she immediately regained her composure and said seriously, "I only gave it to you because of Jingya. I want you and Jingya to get along well, and I don't want Qiao Qiqi, that troublemaker, to be around you anymore."
Wu Nana and Zhang Jingya are from the same place. Wu Nana's family background is much worse than Zhang Jingya's. The reason she has always been Zhang Jingya's follower is that she hopes Zhang Jingya can give her a ride when she returns to the city.
Qiao Qiqi didn't have time to enjoy their jealousy and rivalry. She looked directly at Hou Yan and said, "You're still short 35 yuan. If you don't want me to come back and cause trouble again, hurry up and scrape together the money for me."
“I only have a little over 8 yuan here, I’ll give you 8 yuan!” Xing Guangyu was the second to step forward.
Although the others seemed to have a good relationship with them on the surface, their relationship was not as good as that with Wu Nana and Xing Guangyu.
The group exchanged glances and felt it wouldn't be right not to take any money, so they all went back to their rooms and pooled together 6 yuan to give to Hou Yan. "It's almost the end of the month, and we're all short on cash. This is all we have, so please don't mind."
Hou Yan knew that these people had something to hoard, and thinking about how they hadn't been polite when they ate the things he had taken from Qiao Qiqi before, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.
But it wasn't appropriate to call him out on it directly, so he could only smile faintly and accept the money, saying, "Thank you."
Although everyone took some, the total came to only 5 + 10 + 8 + 6 = 29 yuan, which was 21 yuan short of the 50 yuan Qiao Qiqi wanted.
Hou Yan looked up at Qiao Qiqi, and was about to plead for her when he heard her say, "Isn't your girlfriend the one who hasn't taken the money yet? Everyone else has taken it. Does your girlfriend not want to help you with a single penny? It seems she's not as sweet as she appears on the surface!"
"Qiao Qiqi, stop trying to sow discord here!" Wu Nana was furious when she heard this.
"What? Am I wrong? You've already taken out 10 yuan. I heard that Zhang Jingya's family is the wealthiest here, but she didn't contribute a single penny. That's a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"
