60: The timid Xia Weiyu

"What is it?"

Because of a previous favor, Xia Weiyu helped Wang Yaru whenever she could.

"A small matter. My boyfriend's bar is having its anniversary celebration today, and I was thinking you could come over to help boost the crowd.

You don't need to do anything; just sit there for a bit and have a drink.

Of course, I won't treat you poorly. If you go, food and drinks are on me, just have fun.

Bring your boyfriend and sit there for a while tonight."

Xia Weiyu asked again: "Is sitting for a bit really enough? Do I need to help with anything else?"

"Of course not. Am I going to make you spend money or book the whole place? Do you even have the financial strength?"

"How about it? Help me out for the sake of being classmates.

You and your boyfriend just go and have a drink; you don't need to worry about anything else.

Actually, I'm giving you a bargain because of our classmate bond. Otherwise, a single phone call from me could bring a huge crowd. After all, it's a high-end club; who wouldn't want free food and drinks?

Think about how much I helped you before. Wasn't it me who helped with your living expenses? Now I'm asking for this small favor, surely you won't refuse."

"Alright."

"At least you have some conscience."

Wang Yaru stuffed a business card into Xia Weiyu's hand:

"You should have heard of Wild Rose, right? Call me when you arrive. Don't stand me up tonight.

Alright, I'll stop chatting. See you tonight, Xiao Xia Mi."

"Goodbye, Sister Yaru."

..."Is this your friend?"

"A high school classmate, quite annoying."

"Did she bully you?"

"No! No."

For some reason, Xia Weiyu still told him about the past:

"That Wang Yaru just now was my deskmate. She helped me a lot before.

Her family owns a restaurant. Knowing I was short on money, she let me work part-time there, doing odd jobs and washing dishes in the kitchen after school.

10 yuan a day. Although it was little, it helped me a lot. I could earn 300 a month, which not only covered my tuition and fees but also helped support my family.

I only worked three hours a night, so it didn't interfere with my studies. For this reason, I'm still quite grateful to her."

"That's clearly a rip-off! You could find that kind of pay anywhere."

Xia Weiyu shook her head: "No, I did it voluntarily. To be honest, she really did help me a lot back then.

Because of that, I eased a lot of the burden on my family."

"Then since you're grateful to her, why do you dislike her?"

"Even though she did me a favor, gratitude is one thing, but I really dislike her personality.

You don't know, when I was her deskmate, she would show off to me every day.

One day she'd talk about her brand-name shoes, the next about going to Starbucks for milk tea at night. She told me these things every day, so I dislike her a bit."

Su Chen was thoughtful; she indeed was quite annoying.

Back then, Xia Weiyu's life was hard every day, yet she had to listen to Wang Yaru flaunting her wealth daily. Because the other party had helped her, she couldn't even talk back.

"Then we'll go tonight and teach her a lesson."

"Don't! Forget it. Disliking her is one thing, but there's no need to take action to teach her a lesson.

That's just her personality; she loves showing off in front of everyone. She probably wants me to go tonight just to flaunt her wealth.

That's why I'm a bit unhappy with her. If I hit her, that would be my fault."

Su Chen waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand. It's not really a lesson, just think of it as returning a favor.

Didn't she want you to go boost the crowd tonight? Since we're going, let's spend some money.

Isn't her boyfriend's bar having an anniversary celebration?

Going there to spend a bunch of money can be seen as repaying her for finding you that job.

At the same time, show off in front of her to let her know she's not the only rich person."

"How do we show off?"

"I'll teach you when we get there."

Hearing that Su Chen was also going, Xia Weiyu was delighted. Mainly because she had never been to such a place, and the atmosphere in those places was bad; she was a bit scared.

"Su Chen, are you going too? I can just go and sit for a while by myself."

Su Chen waved his hand in refusal: "It's just going out to play; anywhere is the same. I'll accompany you for a bit.

Otherwise, what's the point of you going alone? To listen to her flaunt her wealth and then come back fuming?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Su Chen."

'Ding, gained favorability from Xia Weiyu, lottery ticket +100.'

Of course he had to go. If he didn't, was he supposed to go home and pet the cat?

Working himself to death for a whole night wouldn't earn him many lottery ticket.

Besides, in a place like that, how could he feel safe letting Xia Weiyu go alone? If something happened, there would be no medicine for regret.

"It's settled then. I'll go with you tonight,

To teach her a lesson... no, to boost her sales performance."

Xia Weiyu lowered her head and thought it was indeed feasible. The favor of finding her a job had long been repaid by her running errands for three years in high school.

She had only been like that out of habit. Today, she would spend more in her shop and repay her with interest.

If you show off, I'll show off too. It would also let out some frustration; she would be satisfied just by annoying her.

But the problem was... the money she borrowed had already been spent.

Looking at the promissory note book that had already appeared before her, she laughed bitterly.

"Let's agree beforehand, this time it will really take a long, long time to pay back."

'Ding, gained favorability from Xia Weiyu, lottery ticket +100.'

"No problem!"

After a short rest following the meal, the two set off... The bar Wang Yaru mentioned was the largest and most luxurious one in Ku County.

Linear lights slid along the edges of the building, and neon characters flashed with a dazzling glow.

This bar not only occupied a vast area, but its decoration also followed the latest trends. The grand glass doors were extremely luxurious and imposing.

The three characters for Wild Rose were also exceptionally eye-catching, overshadowing all the surrounding shop signs.

This was Xia Weiyu's first time in such a place. Just entering made her feel a bit dizzy.

At the entrance of the hall, two beautiful women in uniforms and stockings bowed to greet her as she entered.

She hadn't quite reacted yet and bowed back in return.

Turning her head, she saw Su Chen had already walked ahead. She ran a few steps and grabbed Su Chen's arm, not daring to let go for a moment.

This fear was real. She heard that there were many shady people here, and some scumbags would directly drug and take away beautiful girls they saw.

"What are you nervous about?"

Her arm was being gripped tightly by Xia Weiyu. Although being wrapped in softness was comfortable, she was gripping a bit too tightly.

You should know that when Xia Weiyu was in Xiao Qian's villa, she hadn't even been like this despite being afraid of ghosts.

"I don't really like this kind of place. I heard that girls coming here have a chance of being drugged and taken away."

"Oh."

Su Chen nodded. It was understandable for a first-timer, and Xia Weiyu was naturally quite timid.

"It's fine, stay close to me, I'll protect you.

If any monsters or ghosts dare to approach you, I'll beat them up one by one."

"Yeah, you must never leave my sight."

"Don't just nod, you have to promise."

Su Chen raised his hand in promise:

"Alright, Ms. Xia. Tonight I'll be your bodyguard and make sure you return safely."

'Ding, gained favorability from Xia Weiyu, lottery ticket +100.'

Here's the chance. This time, I'll properly teach that Wang Yaru a lesson, and another wave of lottery ticket will come in.

It definitely won't be a problem to break 3,000 today.
