Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Pay Back the Money!
"The card has what you want. I know I shouldn't have dragged you into this yesterday, but the meal was eaten, the wine was drunk, there are no regrets now, right?"
Song Yun tossed a bank card onto the table.
Wen Qing hurriedly checked the card number, then made a call to inquire and muttered, "Hundred... one hundred thousand!"
She was just the simplest kind of gold digger who would gladly accept anything for money. Not to mention last night's incident, even if it had been more extreme, she would have happily accepted it!
By contrast, Lin Yu didn't know how to begin. Her eyes coveted the money, but being in a relationship with Ye Zi, they were inherently involved in a messy situation, so she didn't even have an excuse to threaten with.
"Lin Yu, these are documents about you. Don't you want to take a look before making a decision?"
Song Yun tossed a file in front of Lin Yu and watched her calmly, legs crossed.
Lin Yu's fingers trembled as she untied the string; when she saw that everything about herself had been documented inside, she immediately felt a wave of panic.
Truth be told, although she had deceived so many men, she had not actually saved a penny for herself.
She either spent lavishly on luxury items or went to beauty salons for various treatments.
"Who exactly are you!"
Lin Yu's eyes held a resentful glare as she stared at Song Yun.
Song Yun waved his hand dismissively and extinguished his cigarette, saying indifferently, "Who I am is none of your concern. I'll only ask you one thing; my brother can't just be swindled for nothing, right?"
"I didn't cheat him! Everything was his voluntary giving!"
Lin Yu was like a cooked duck—all that remained was her tough talk.
Song Yun knew a thousand ways to deal with someone like her. He scoffed as he gathered up the documents, saying, "No worries, I accept my brother was a fool. Just don't get into relationships anymore. Every time you do, I'll send the details to the man involved!"
These words grabbed Lin Yu's lifeline like a giant hand. Her mouth opened to object, but she couldn't say a word.
"I..."
Lin Yu said angrily, "I'll return everything he bought for me! That should be enough, right?"
"Why bother? What's my brother going to do with ladies' bags?" Song Yun said with a faint smile.
"Then what do you want! You don't want this; you don't want that. What exactly do you want!!!"
Lin Yu was nearly driven insane by Song Yun as she frantically tugged at her hair and howled.
"Money, of course!"
Song Yun said matter-of-factly, "Just consider that bag your own purchase. Carry it however you like in the future!"
"..."
Lin Yu glanced at her phone. There was only a little over three thousand left, enough to cover this month's food expenses.
But the bag Ye Zi had bought for her was worth over thirty thousand, which wasn't even one-tenth of that!
"Can I... pay in installments?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Yu was nearly choked by Song Yun's attitude. She tentatively sent messages to her suitors, to see if she could squeeze some money from them.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
Soon, Lin Yu's phone went crazy with notifications.
"Goddess, I don't have any money on hand now, just five hundred left, which I'll transfer to you right away!"
"Ditched me last night and now you want to borrow money? No way!"
"Miss, we've only known each other for less than a month... I feel like you're a scammer, goodbye, kicked out!"
"Little temptress, seven o'clock tonight at the usual place. Don't be late, and I'll give you a big red envelope!"
...
Lin Yu quickly read through message after message, but by the end, she had only managed to borrow a little over two thousand, and many were just looking to invite her out to play next time with false promises.
Ah, the frustration!!!
All of them are nothing but a bunch of fair-weather friends!
Lin Yu was almost driven mad by anger. She couldn't believe that not a single one among her circle of friends was reliable!
Then, she turned her gaze to Wen Qing who was enjoying herself on the side.
"Qing Qing..."
"Don't call me that affectionately! If it weren't for you constantly filling my glass last night, would I have blacked out?"
Wen Qing flatly refused.
With her lips pursed and a forced smile on her face, Lin Yu said, "Just lend me thirty thousand, look, there's a hundred thousand in this card! If last night's incident hadn't occurred, you wouldn't have gotten this windfall, right?"
"None of your damn business, this is money I earned myself!"
Wen Qing rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "It's because you always reel men in to spend big money on you. Now you've gotten into trouble with someone tough, let's see what you're going to do!"
"Just thirty thousand! I'll definitely pay you back next month!"
Lin Yu cornered Wen Qing, giving off an air that she wouldn't let her go unless she lent her the money.
"Actually, lending you the money is not impossible. Didn't Ye Zi buy you a bag... How about you transfer it to me?"
Wen Qing said with a chuckle and a cunning gleam in her eyes.
She felt a wave of disgust thinking about how Lin Yu had come back with the bag yesterday, looking so smug. Although she also loved money, she believed in fair exchange and had a deep disdain for Lin Yu's type, who wouldn't offer any benefits and only knew how to expect gifts!
At this moment, Lin Yu was grinding her teeth so hard they made a "creak-creak" sound. This woman usually pretended to be such a good bestie, and now she was playing this trick on her!
"Fine! You can have the bag, just transfer the money to me!"
"Let me make this clear first, your bag is second-hand now, I can only give you twenty-six thousand for it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression changed and she immediately started pulling Wen Qing's hair in a fight.
"You bloody bitch! Is lending a bit of money really that difficult for you!"
"Ow, ow, ow! Don't pull my hair, I just had hair implants!"
"Tell me! Will you lend it or not?"
"I won't lend! If you don't let go, I won't even give you the twenty-six thousand!"
"You!!!"
In the end, Lin Yu had to compromise under the pressure of money. She grabbed the bag from the sofa, took everything out, and threw it to Wen Qing.
Wen Qing was not angry, still smiling as she looked over the bag and then used her phone to transfer the money to Lin Yu.
Now that she finally had enough money, Lin Yu's chest heaved with deep breaths as she felt heartbroken returning the thirty thousand to Ye Zi.
It could be said that in this battle, she was the only one who suffered a huge loss!
Wen Qing got a bag and still had over seventy thousand left!
Ye Zi had both money and people on her side! She would probably never forget last night's experience for the rest of her life.
And what about herself?
She lost a bag, lost money, and even implicated herself!
What was it all for!!!
"Can I go now?"
Lin Yu stuffed all her belongings into a plastic bag and asked.
"Travel light."
Song Yun said with a smile, "In the future, don't treat men like fools to swindle, it's only because I'm kind-hearted that I'm not arguing with you over this. If you run into someone with a bad temper, you can kiss any advantage in your life goodbye!"
After Lin Yu left, Wen Qing hurriedly called to the boss and scurried away. Since she was rooming with Wen Qing, she couldn't let this little minx get back first and ruin all her makeup and clothes!
"Ye Zi, do you see now? It's better to find a woman suitable for daily life. Wen Qing and Lin Yu are pretty, right? But do you think your salary could support either of them?"
Song Yun said, trying to console, "Take what happened last night as a nice dream, but life still has to go on!"
