For now, Zhang Yu's true nature cannot be revealed, leaving Liu Qiong feeling quite frustrated.
Given the events of tonight, Liu Qiong kept scolding Zhang Yu, making no effort to save face for Xiao Lei, chastising him relentlessly. She repeatedly ntioned how fortunate they were that Li Fei showed up.
Zhang Yu also seed aware of Li Fei's existence; however, Liu Qiong hadn't disclosed everything.
"Alright, Liu Qiong, enough. It's my fault for choosing to work in a place like that." anwhile, Xiao Lei continued to defend her boyfriend.
She understood Liu Qiong's good intentions but didn't want her boyfriend to feel embarrassed.
After hearing this, Zhang Yu kept apologizing to Xiao Lei, his deanor was exceptionally convincing.
The three of them talked all the way back to the apartnt they rented.
"Zhang Yu, you haven't ntioned why you ca to see so late tonight," Xiao Lei finally asked indifferently once they got ho.
"What else could it be? Just borrowing money from you," Liu Qiong threw another disdainful look over.
Zhang Yu could say he absolutely despised Liu Qiong, who constantly opposed him. Of course, Zhang Yu knew Liu Qiong had lent money to Xiao Lei and they were close friends, so he restrained himself from retorting.
"Let's talk in the room."
"Alright. Okay..."
With that, Zhang Yu and Xiao Lei went into the room, leaving Liu Qiong without the chance to berate him. Just when Li Fei had sothing to deal with and left; if he were there, he could have confronted Zhang Yu directly. Anyway, tomorrow she must find him and reveal the truth to Xiao Lei, letting her see what kind of person Zhang Yu truly is.
"Twenty million yen? I—I don't have that much money!"
Hearing this figure from Zhang Yu's mouth, Xiao Lei stared at her boyfriend in shock.
"Oh, I knew you didn't have that much money, which is why I ca to discuss finding a solution," Zhang Yu said helplessly.
"Zhang Yu, what exactly are you doing? Why do you need so much money? You haven't stumbled into a scam, have you?" Xiao Lei asked worriedly.
"No, don't worry. This money is for an investnt, and I'll need it the day after tomorrow. My previous investnt hasn't been recovered yet, but this is a great opportunity. If I can seize it, I will succeed. Ah..." Zhang Yu feigned pity, his expression entirely regretful.
"Then, will there be opportunities in the future?" Xiao Lei continued to ask.
"There are opportunities, but this one is the biggest. And guess what, I've been promoted to the head of our departnt."
"Really?" Xiao Lei asked excitedly.
"Yes, but how much can a departnt head really earn? Sigh..."
"I'm sorry, Zhang Yu, I—I just lost my job, and I don't have much money left," Xiao Lei said apologetically to Zhang Yu.
"No, Xiao Lei, I've been making things difficult for you, and it's my fault for letting you suffer. You've done so much for . So, I have to seize this chance. If I succeed, I'll take care of you for life, never letting you endure any hardship again," Zhang Yu vowed earnestly.
Such sweet words are the most captivating to a girl's heart. Although Xiao Lei had long opened her heart to Zhang Yu, hearing these words, how could she not feel happy?
But if these words turn into daggers piercing the heart, what kind of feeling would that be?
"Actually, we don't need to be filthy rich, as long as we can be happy together..."
"No, I will let you live like a princess, trust ."
"Mmm, I have always believed in you," Xiao Lei said with a sweet smile.
"By the way, don't you have an uncle at ho who runs a farming business? See if you can ask him to lend so money..."
Here we go; when it cos to needing money, Zhang Yu will use any tactic available.
"My uncle? But he's building a house now, and even though he's made so money, he doesn't even have the funds for renovation yet," Xiao Lei shook her head.
"I see. Do you have any other friends nearby who can lend a little? Trust , within two months, I'll repay everything with interest," Zhang Yu said, patting his chest in assurance.
"In Japan, I only have Liu Qiong as a friend, and you know her situation is no better than mine. As for other people, I haven't gotten close enough to borrow money from them," Xiao Lei continued.
"Then, what about Li Fei?"
"Li Fei?"
Geez, Zhang Yu is really shaless, aiming at Xiaofan.
"Yes, I've heard from you and Liu Qiong that he's quite wealthy. Borrowing from him shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"He does seem to have so money, but borrowing such a large amount from him... I'm quite hesitant to ask," Xiao Lei stamred.
There's a chance; hesitating ans that if she asks, there's hope?
Fujiwara Reiko ntioned that within two months, the money could double. Such a tempting opportunity is hard to resist.
"True, Xiao Lei, forget it; I shouldn't make things difficult for you. I'll think of more solutions; maybe after struggling for ten or eight years, I'll find a way out," Zhang Yu pretended to give up.
Seeing Zhang Yu's gloomy deanor, Xiao Lei naturally felt sympathetic.
"How about I ask tomorrow? I'll call you then," Xiao Lei finally relented. Indeed, for the sake of the man she loved, she was willing to do whatever it took.
"Really? But I don't want to see you troubled."
"No worries. However, I can't guarantee I'll definitely be able to borrow it; after all, I haven't known him for long."
"No problem, just consider it the last chance. Xiao Lei, being able to have you as my girlfriend is my fortune built over lifetis," Zhang Yu said with a face full of delight.
"It's been so many years, and you're still saying such things."
"No, so things need to be said. These past few months have been hard on you. Tonight, I'm so grateful to Li Fei. If it weren't for him, I'd regret it for life. Xiao Lei..."
Zhang Yu said, slowly moving closer. It seems he intends to take further actions, not just borrow money.
Fujiwara Reiko was right; Zhang Yu hadn't let go of Xiao Lei because he hadn't gotten her body yet. Tonight's events did provoke Zhang Yu's nerves. If that pure body were taken by soone else, wouldn't he lose significantly? So, it was ti for him to act.
