"Li Fei, can you lend so money?"
Today, Xiao Lei doesn't seem to have much energy. Of course, it's related to the scare she received last night, but more importantly, she doesn't know how to ask Li Fei to lend her the money.
She thought about it for a long ti last night, and even while waiting here for Li Fei, her heart was still conflicted.
If it were a small amount of money, she might not have so many concerns when asking. But when she considers the large amount, and the fact that the other party is just a friend she hasn't known for long, asking is certainly embarrassing.
"Sure."
However, Xiaofan's cheerful response made Xiao Lei raise her head in surprise.
"Aren't you going to ask how much I'm borrowing?" Xiao Lei asked, dumbfounded.
"Oh, how much do you need?" Xiaofan said with a calm expression.
"I need to borrow twenty million." Xiao Lei stated directly: "Yen."
Upon hearing this number, Xiaofan visibly froze for a mont.
"Is it too much?" Xiao Lei said awkwardly.
Indeed, given the brief ti they've known each other, such a large sum, most people wouldn't lend it, right?
"Borrowing for your boyfriend?" Xiaofan instinctively asked.
"Hm? Yeah." Xiao Lei nodded silently.
"Can I know why you suddenly need so much money?" Xiaofan asked softly.
"He's investing in a project, he said it would return with principal and interest within two months. If you're willing to lend it, the repaynt will include the interest," Xiao Lei continued to explain.
"Oh."
Xiaofan responded, starting to ponder how to handle this situation.
Xiao Lei just waited quietly, thinking the other person was hesitating, the atmosphere sowhat awkward.
"Li Fei, I'm really just trying my luck asking, after all, the sum is really too much. If it's inconvenient, then..."
"Xiao Lei, do you consider your friend?" Xiaofan didn't directly respond but shifted to another topic.
Strange, why suddenly ask such a question. Usually, people borrowing money try to showcase friendship and connection between the two. Debt holders wouldn't attempt to build relations like this, right?
"Calling you a friend, it's more like calling you a benefactor."
Indeed, when they first t, she was continually cared for by Xiaofan. If Xiaofan hadn't been so generous, helping them financially, along with last night's incident, he truly was a benefactor.
"I can lend you the money, but you have to agree to one condition. And later, no matter what I say, you have to quietly listen until I finish." That's the best approach for now, Xiaofan is not so skilled in persuasion.
Back then, to persuade i'er, he nearly caused Chen i'Er's father to explode in anger. The resulting ss was an unexpected consequence Xiaofan hadn't foreseen. Now, it's better to be a bit more prudent.
"Condition? What condition?" Xiao Lei asked softly. Hope it's not so absurd condition.
"Well, until you repay the money, you have to study well and earn money to repay ." Xiaofan said nonchalantly.
"Of course, that's naturally expected, isn't it?" Xiao Lei replied without hesitation, just looking curiously at Xiaofan. What kind of condition is this?
"Alright, it's settled then. The bank's right next door, I'll go get it for you."
"Now?" Xiao Lei asked Xiaofan with so surprise.
"Just wait a mont, it'll be quick."
Xiaofan's card is a gold mbership card, withdrawing twenty million at the local bank doesn't require reservations or anything. Also, the largest denomination in Japan is ten thousand yen, twenty million ans two thousand bills, not really many.
Xiao Lei never expected Xiaofan to readily agree to lend her the money, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
Within half an hour, Xiaofan returned to the store with a small suitcase. He opened the suitcase in the store.
Twenty bundles of ten-thousand-yen bills were neatly arranged inside the suitcase.
"Are you nuts? Showing the money like this here." Xiao Lei was startled and quickly closed the suitcase.
"Oh, yeah, let's go, I'll take you back first."
"Weren't you going to talk to ?" Xiao Lei asked softly.
"Hm? I'll talk while driving."
Is he really the type of man who has more money than he knows what to do with? Lending money to her without much thought?
"I'll write you an IOU."
In the car, Xiao Lei still felt it was necessary to clarify things first.
"No need, I trust you." Xiaofan calmly stopped her.
"It's precisely because you trust that I insist on writing this IOU." Saying so, Xiao Lei took out paper and pen from her bag, quickly wrote the IOU, and handed it to Xiaofan.
In response, Xiaofan didn't say much—after all, lending money to her felt like it was as good as gone. But later, when Xiao Lei learns the truth, there's still a matter that binds her; perhaps then she wouldn't make impulsive decisions.
"Have you ever considered that your boyfriend may not be as good as you think?" Xiaofan said softly as he put the sheet into his pocket.
"Hm? What do you an?" Xiao Lei turned her head in confusion.
Outside the window, the scenery flashed by in rapid retreat. Yet ti flowed forward, second by second.
"What I an is, he might not love you, or, maybe, he has another woman outside..." Xiaofan still couldn't speak too definitively.
"Li Fei? You're not falling for , are you?" Xiao Lei asked dully, looking at Xiaofan.
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. That Xiao Lei could pose such a question had its own logic.
Xiao Lei thought that because he liked her, he wanted to talk down her boyfriend to get sothing out of it. In other words, she had no doubts about Zhang Yu at all.
Precisely because she deeply believed in Zhang Yu, Xiaofan felt the situation was difficult.
"Alright, you can pretend I like you. Just rember, you have to quietly listen until I finish speaking." Xiaofan continued.
"But this joke isn't funny." Xiao Lei pouted at Xiaofan, her expression was very cute, clearly not angry.
"Okay then, treat it as a joke. If soday you discover your boyfriend cheated, that he wasn't originally the person you imagined, what would you do?" Xiaofan asked again.
"This..." seeing Xiaofan seemingly serious, Xiao Lei froze for a mont: "There's no 'what-if'. I don't believe such a thing would happen, so I can't answer your question. Li Fei, I genuinely thank you for lending money, but if you think that by lending money, I should..."
"Hey, don't say anymore, I have no ulterior motives, don't overthink it." Phew, really difficult, what should be done about this?
