“I… can I take a photo first?”
Wei Yanxi looked toward the door, her eyes full of longing.
She never imagined that eating a meal would turn into a scene like this.
She hadn’t expected Chen Tangguan to be so rich, casually transferring 25,000 like it was nothing.
And…
She could make up her mind to take that kind of photo of herself without hesitation.
It made her wonder if Chen Tangguan had done this kind of thing before.
Otherwise, how could she be so skilled?
Getting undressed that fast?
She herself couldn’t do something like that.
Wei Yanxi realized she didn’t know her close friend as well as she thought.
Just like she never imagined Chen Tangguan would have so much money, able to pull out 25,000 in an instant.
But thinking about how casually Chen Tangguan took off her clothes, she immediately understood.
That money Chen Tangguan had probably came from doing this kind of thing.
She felt a little ashamed, but she was also incredibly envious that Chen Tangguan could come up with the money at such a critical moment and get out of here.
If she had money, she wouldn’t have to suffer like this.
But when her gaze fell on Caixiangxiang, she relaxed a little.
At least she was the one who got hurt the least, not like Caixiangxiang, who looked no different from a pig’s head.
She thought Caixiangxiang deserved it. If it wasn’t for Caixiangxiang, she and Chen Tangguan wouldn’t have had to suffer this undeserved disaster.
It was all her fault!
It had been her fault from the very beginning!
It was all because of Caixiangxiang that she met Chi Qingya, and after meeting Chi Qingya, she thought about making Chi Qingya pay the compensation that shouldn’t have been hers to pay in the first place.
It was all because of Caixiangxiang, little by little, that she developed a desire for other people’s money that she shouldn’t have.
If there were any problems, everything was Caixiangxiang’s fault.
If it wasn’t for Caixiangxiang, she might have been just like an ordinary university student right now.
Living an ordinary life on campus.
“Hurry up.”
Chi Qingyao urged impatiently.
“When you were spending my sister’s money, you didn’t care if she could afford it. Now don’t think I’ll feel sorry for you. Don’t think I don’t know—you never considered my sister a real friend.”
Wei Yanxi slowly took off her clothes. She closed her eyes in pain, but soon remembered that Chi Qingyao had ordered her not to close her eyes.
So she quickly opened them again.
Staring at the phone in Chi Qingyao’s hand, she felt her mind spin.
She just hoped this nightmare would end soon.
After this, she would never go to places she shouldn’t again!
She just wanted this painful experience to be over quickly.
Twenty-five thousand. She had no idea how long she’d have to scrimp and save to pay it back.
She just hoped to end this miserable life as soon as possible.
Either way, her happy life was leaving her.
Maybe she’d end up like Su Li.
A university student, but having to spend precious time working to earn money.
But right now, she had no other choice.
“Alright, hurry up and pay.”
“I… I’ll figure something out!”
Wei Yanxi stammered. There were plenty of ways to borrow money right now.
But in the past, at most she’d just use Huabei Credit.
Now she had no other choice.
She had to borrow from various loan apps first and then get out of here.
As for what would happen later, she didn’t dare think about it.
She had already stepped halfway into the deep abyss, with no way back.
Maybe she could ask Chen Tangguan how she earned that money.
After all… her photos were already saved on Chi Qingya’s little sister’s phone…
Wei Yanxi’s heart turned to ashes.
‘VFB transfer received: 25,000 yuan.’
After transferring the money to Chi Qingyao, Wei Yanxi trembled as she looked at her and said, “Can I… can I leave now?”
“Go.”
Upon hearing Chi Qingyao’s words, Wei Yanxi shivered, glanced at Caixiangxiang on the floor, then at Chi Qingya sitting nearby like she was in a daze. She quickly averted her gaze, bowed her head, and hurried out of the room.
When she reached the door, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
It suddenly hit her that she had been eating Chi Qingya’s food all this time and had just given her 25,000.
But she still hadn’t paid for this meal.
The cost of this meal would definitely be astronomical.
But she no longer cared. She just wanted to go back, lie on her bed, and rest.
Maybe when she woke up, everything would be over. The painful nightmare would end.
The room fell silent again. Chi Qingyao’s gaze turned to Caixiangxiang.
From her years of experience, she could tell that these girls followed Caixiangxiang’s lead.
Caixiangxiang was the ringleader of the group.
If not for her, normal girls probably wouldn’t have spent so much of someone else’s money at once.
Although it was likely that birds of a feather flocked together, there was always a leader.
“Your turn.”
Caixiangxiang curled up in the corner. The sauce on her chin had dried into a brown scab. Her fake eyelashes were stuck crookedly to her swollen, shiny cheekbones.
Her right cheek rubbed against the wallpaper, leaving a dark red smear of lipstick on the beige fabric.
Her disheveled hair covered half her face. She looked like a boneless mess, trembling there.
With every breath, her shoulders twitched. Her red, swollen eyelids drooped, staring blankly at a broken nail lying in the crack of the floor.
It had been torn off when Chen Tangguan struggled earlier.
As if she hadn’t heard Chi Qingyao, she just kept shaking.
“I’m talking to you.”
“I… I was wrong. I’m, I’m sorry.”
Caixiangxiang’s puffy eyes looked at Chi Qingyao. As Chi Qingyao approached, she shrank back into the corner in fear.
“What’s the use of being sorry? Just pay up. A debt must be repaid. That’s only right.”
Chi Qingyao said impatiently. She didn’t understand why this girl hadn’t thought about the consequences when she was doing bad things.
Even though she was young, she knew that people had to pay for what they did.
“I… I’ll give it to you right now.”
Caixiangxiang trembled as she spoke. Without pressing the phone, a strange pain shot through her hand.
Chi Qingya’s little sister was a demon. She shouldn’t have provoked her.
But regretting it now was useless. Her money was already gone, and even her living expenses weren’t enough to cover the debt.
Getting 25,000 out now wasn’t easy.
But she knew that if she didn’t pay now, leaving here wouldn’t be easy either.
Caixiangxiang numbly filled in her information, downloading loan app after loan app, hoping to borrow the money.
