Chapter 44: Might as well be sending away a beggar

  "With you..." Her face turned pale, and she paused for a moment. "With you, it's because I'm helping myself, but with her, it won't work at all, because I don't know her. How could I sell out myself to help her? You can guess, you can judge according to your own conscience, but, Zhong Yuchen, please don't insult me. And, this is the 500 yuan I borrowed from you, now returning it to you."

  She stretched out her hand and quietly placed 500 yuan on the table before turning around and leaving quickly.

  Zhong Yuchen's gaze fell on the banknotes on the table, and he looked at them quietly for a few seconds.

  The phone suddenly rang loudly, he lowered his head and took a glance, then put the phone to his ear.

  "Say."

  “……”

  "Alright, wait."

  He hung up the phone, went out of the door, stopped at the entrance, looked across the street, and finally walked over, pushed open the door to see her holding Dudu by the window.

  "Xiao Ai, is it time for rest now?"

  She turned around, her eyes slightly red, but still smiled as if nothing had happened, "It's still early now."

  In other words, she is now naturally not resting.

  "Follow me." He said and went downstairs.

  Shu Xiao Ai immediately put Du Du into the doghouse and quickly went out the door.

  Following him into the yard, sitting in the passenger seat, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

  "Hanging out with buddies." He said this and continued, "You've got to bring a woman along, no matter what she looks like."

  "Are you insulting me? You not only humiliated my self-esteem today, but also insulted my character. New and old hatreds, I have deeply remembered them in my heart!"

  The corners of his mouth curled up and he stopped talking.

  The car stopped in front of a high-end women's specialty store.

  He got off the bus and came back with two bags after a short while.

  "Throw it in the back and change into it."

  Shu Xiao Ai took a look at the price tag and was startled, it's quite expensive.

  "Is this dress given to me for free? Don't I need to pay for it?"

  "You look so shabby in those clothes, you're being treated like a beggar, hurry up and change."

  Shu Xiao Ai was dissatisfied but didn't say anything, obediently going to the back to change into a skirt and high heels before sitting back in the passenger seat.

  He looked her up and down, humming a sound of approval. "Not bad, just... this is better." He reached out his hand to remove the hair tie that bound her hair, letting it fall loose over her shoulders, instantly transforming her appearance.

  In no time, Zhong Yuchen drove up to the entrance of One Thousand and One Nights.

  Two people got off the car and went straight in.

  Hong Tang stood at the counter and saw him coming with a woman by his side, suddenly gaining energy.

  "Second Master, who is this?"

  Zhong Yuchen said faintly, "My woman Shu Xia'ai."

  Hong Tang was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood and smiled lightly, "Beautiful lady, please sit down, it's your own home, no need to be polite."

  Zhong Yuchen sat down, with Shu Xiaoyi sitting beside him. Opposite them was naturally Hong Tang.

  "Is the curtain going back up?"

  Hongtang lifted his wrist to look at the time, "He said he'd be here tonight, should be arriving soon."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle and clear voice came, "I'm here."

  Shu Xiao Ai turned around and was immediately stunned on the spot.

  Mù Xǔ Yáo saw her, his smile froze.

  The reactions of two people were immediately noticed by another two men.

  "Acquaintance?" Hong Tang inquired with a smile.

  Shu Xiao Ai dryly smiled, "He used to be...my senior."

  These words, spoken from her mouth, carried a hint of bitterness.
