Chapter 890: Mic Off
Pei Shiqi felt nothing when she heard Lu Jiayou's apology.
She asked him coldly, "Are you here to pay the money?"
Lu Jiayou's face turned pale and red. He tried hard to suppress the bitterness and shame in his heart and nodded, "Yes."
"Oh." Pei Shiqi looked around and saw a few passers-by who seemed not to have seen enough of the excitement and were still standing nearby without leaving.
She didn't intend to let others continue to watch, so she said, "There's a coffee shop over there, let's go over and talk."
Lu Jiayou nodded slightly, "Okay."
Pei Shiqi, Su Xing and several other girls walked towards the coffee shop.
Lu Jiayou followed them silently.
The first floor of the cafe is filled with rectangular tables that seat four people.
Su Xing and the other three girls sat at the table next to Pei Shiqi and Lu Jiayou.
Several people ordered a drink each.
Pei Shiqi called the waiter again and asked for a notebook and a pen, intending to write a letter of apology to Lu Jiayou after he compensated her.
Although she was angry after seeing what Lu's father had done to her, for a moment she didn't want to write the letter of apology.
But she was a woman of her word, and since she had promised Lu Jiayou to write a letter of apology, she did not go back on her word.
She asked Lu Jiayou, "How are you going to pay the money? Bank card? Alipay? Or cash?"
Lu Jiayou took a backpack beside him, unzipped it, and took out a black plastic bag from it.
He placed the plastic bag on the table and opened it, revealing more than ten bundles of cash inside.
The waiter who came to serve coffee widened his eyes in surprise: What is this for?
She was curious, but didn't dare to look any further. She put down her coffee and left quickly.
Lu Jiayou pushed the plastic bag towards Pei Shiqi and said, "Here is 180,000 yuan in cash. Give me an Alipay account and I will transfer some more money to you online."
Online banking is not yet widely used, and some older people do not have online banking accounts.
The card he got from his mother cannot transfer money online.
So he went to withdraw cash and gave it to Pei Shiqi.
Pei Shiqi said calmly: "My mobile phone number is my Alipay number, please transfer it."
Lu Jiayou changed two different cards, and after some trouble, he transferred another 60,000 yuan to Pei Shiqi.
"The bracelet has been dismantled by the jewelry store." He looked apologetic and said, "I will compensate you 240,000 today. I still need 70,000. I will give it to you in a few days when I have enough money. Is that ok?"
Pei Shiqi was playing with a pen in her hand. When she heard what Lu Jiayou said, she threw the pen on the table and said, "In that case, I won't write the letter of understanding today. I'll talk about it when you pay all the money back."
Lu Jiayou smiled bitterly and nodded, "Okay..."
In fact, he came here today with the intention of having a discussion with Pei Shiqi. After he paid the 240,000 yuan, he hoped that she would write a letter of apology first.
He would not default on the remaining tens of thousands, and wanted to write her an IOU and give it to her as soon as he had enough.
But his father had just had such a big fight with Pei Shiqi that he really didn't have the face to bring it up again.
Pei Shiqi said: "Then we will leave first."
She said as she stood up.
Lu Jiayou asked: "Don't you count the cash?"
"No need."
Pei Shiqi stood up and picked up the black plastic bag from the table.
Before leaving, she thought for a moment and suddenly called him, "Lu Jiayou."
Lu Jiayou raised his head and looked at Pei Shiqi, "Hmm?"
"Keep your family in check. If they come to me and cause trouble again, I won't show mercy."
"it is good……"
Pei Shiqi added: "We have been together for a while, and I will give you one last piece of advice. If you are not able to manage them well, then don't even think about climbing up. The higher you climb, the harder you will fall in the future."
Lu Jiayou smiled bitterly, "I understand, thank you."
Pei Shiqi waved to Su Xing and several other girls at the next table.
They also stood up and followed her footsteps.
Pei Shiqi passed by the bar, took out a few red bills from the plastic bag and paid the bill.
After Pei Shiqi and the others left, Lu Jiayou still sat there, staring at the coffee cup in front of him in a daze.
After a long time, he picked up the cold coffee and took a sip.
It’s so bitter…
He tilted his head back and drank the cup of coffee in one gulp.
He stood up and walked to the bar.
"Hello, check."
The cashier said, "Hello, sir. The lady who just left paid the bill."
"Oh……"
Lu Jiayou smiled bitterly again.
……
After Su Xing left the coffee shop with Pei Shiqi and the others, he heard a system notification sound in his head.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: You stopped a middle-aged man named Lu who was angry and embarrassed from abusing your roommate, and saved your roommate from being bullied. You will be rewarded with three days of health and a 5% increase in defense.]
When she heard about the system's reward, she thought: It seems that if she hadn't been around, Pei Shiqi would have really suffered at the hands of Lu's father.
Although she knew that with Pei Shiqi's temper, she would definitely retaliate if she suffered a loss.
But if Miss Pei really had her hair pulled by a middle-aged or elderly man, she would probably vomit blood for several days. Even if Father Lu was punished, she would find it hard to swallow this, right?
"Old Four, what do you want?"
Gao Yang noticed that Su Xing was two steps behind them, and couldn't help but turn around and call her.
"nothing."
Su Xing quickly took two steps forward and caught up with his roommates.
Zhang Caifeng pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "There's a bank over there. Lao San, why don't you deposit the cash in your hand?"
Pei Shiqi said, "That's fine."
The girls walked toward the bank.
Pei Shiqi entered the transparent house in the self-service area and deposited money at the automatic deposit and withdrawal machine.
Su Xing and three other girls were waiting for her outside.
After saving the money, Pei Shiqi went out to eat with a few roommates.
Her roommates had been busy with her for another day, and today she was going to treat everyone again, and she had to choose the restaurant.
The other girls in dormitory 306 all turned off their microphones tacitly.
……
Lu Jiayou originally didn't want his sister to pay, but even after he pooled his own money and his family's savings, he still didn't have enough money to compensate Pei Shiqi.
Finally, he had no choice but to ask his sister for a card and withdraw another 40,000 yuan.
He still needed 30,000 yuan, so he called his uncle and aunt and borrowed money from them.
He was the best student and the most promising child among all his relatives, so his relatives naturally had more trust in him. In the end, he borrowed the money he needed without much effort.
He knew that after paying Pei Shiqi more than 300,000 yuan, his family's assets were basically emptied.
His father refused to talk to him these past two days.
He doesn't care.
He decided to find some part-time job as a tutor in the near future, work hard to earn money and support his family.
After graduation and finding a job, he will sooner or later earn enough money for his parents' retirement.
……
Two days later, Lu Jiayou contacted Pei Shiqi again and compensated her the remaining 70,000.
Pei Shiqi didn't waste any time. After receiving the money, she immediately wrote a letter of apology.
"for you."
"Thank you."
Pei Shiqi deleted all of Lu Jiayou's contact information in front of him.
"From now on, we won't have any more contact."
Lu Jiayou looked at Pei Shiqi's actions, and his heart seemed to be squeezed hard by someone, tight and painful.
"Okay..." He took a deep breath and said, "I won't bother you anymore..."
