Chapter 24 : There is actually no difference between you and him

Yan Wenxuan waited anxiously for Jiang Yu’s reply, as if he was waiting for instructions from his leader.

Jiang Yu suddenly smiled, “Of course, but I have a lot of things to buy, and I’m afraid Comrade Yan will be impatient.”

“Of course not. It’s my honor to accompany you to the department store.”

Jiang Yu took out a piece of paper from her pocket. “It says here what my mother asked me to buy. It will take a long time. If you… Hey, where’s my money?”

She paused, then suddenly started searching frantically.

Jiang Yu’s eyes were red, but he still couldn’t find the money in his pocket.

“It’s bad, it’s bad, my money must be lost, I have to go back and look for it!”

After saying this, he didn’t care that Yan Wenxuan was still there, and hurriedly returned the same way.

Yan Wenxuan dropped his bicycle and ran back with her. They went all the way to the school gate but still couldn’t find Jiang Yu’s money.

“Don’t cry yet, it’s just money for buying something, it’s not that expensive, I’ll buy it for you!”

Jiang Yu, with tears still hanging on her cheeks, stared blankly at this big fool.

It is really hard to imagine how stupid He Feiyan could be to be cheated out of more than a hundred dollars by this big fool.

Jiang Yu sniffed and said, “No, there’s still 130 yuan in there, which is my father’s medical money. If it’s lost now, my mother will definitely beat me to death.”

When Yan Wenxuan heard the number “one hundred and thirty yuan”, he felt heartbroken for a while.

However, when Jiang Yu said that her mother would beat her, the object of his sympathy changed to Jiang Yu.

“What? Your mother beat you!”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, “Maybe she won’t just beat me, she might even lock me out and not give me food. She does this all the time, I’m used to it.”

Yan Wenxuan was filled with righteous indignation “This is against the law! Is she still your biological mother? How can she treat you like this!”

Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, revealing a hint of sadness.

“Who told me I’m a girl? My mom only likes my brother.”

This made Yan Wenxuan very sad.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the department store to buy things first!”

Jiang Yu didn’t move and shook his head firmly.

“No, I can’t use your money. We just met today.”

Yan Wenxuan was very anxious “It’s already this time, why are you still being polite to me! Do you want to fail to buy anything and get beaten by your mother when you get home?”

Jiang Yu hesitated to speak and shook his head.

“Even if I buy something, I won’t be able to get back the money my dad spent on medical treatment.”

Yan Wenxuan immediately said, “After I buy you something, I’ll go home to get the money! You go home with the money first!”

Jiang Yu frowned, “How can this be possible? I just met you!”

“It’s okay. I gave it to you willingly. You don’t have to feel any psychological burden. Go away.”

Just like that, in just half an hour, Yan Wenxuan really rushed to give money to Jiang Yu.

After buying things for her, he asked Jiang Yu to wait at the door and went home to get the money.

“You must wait for me, otherwise your mother will definitely beat you if she finds out that you lost the money for your father’s medical treatment! I’ll go back and get the money, so come back soon!”

After saying that, he disappeared with a whoosh, and the bicycle under his feet almost turned into a Hot Wheels.

Jiang Yu had a complicated expression. He thought his father was sick.

Is it really this kind of person who deceived He Feiyan?

Jiang Yu was standing at the door of the department store waiting, feeling a little bored.

When I turned around suddenly, I ran into He Tingyue!

His eyes were full of sarcasm, and fell clearly on the thing she was holding.

Obviously, he heard the conversation between himself and Yan Wenxuan.

Jiang Yu opened his mouth, not knowing whether to talk to him.

While he was struggling, He Tingyue had already walked away, as indifferent as ever.

Jiang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn’t ask more questions.

When Yan Wenxuan came back, he stuffed 130 yuan into her hand without hesitation.

Jiang Yu counted the money and found it was exactly one hundred and thirty.

She had no psychological burden and put the money in her pocket.

“Comrade Yan Wenxuan, this money is what you owe He Feiyan. Now I will help her get it back, and you are even now.”

As for the items bought from the department store, they were naturally returned to him.

In that moment, Yan Wenxuan seemed to hear the sound of his heart breaking.

With a thud, it fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

He stared at Jiang Yu in disbelief, “What did you say? He Feiyan?!”

Jiang Yu replied seriously, “Comrade He Feiyan asked me to come and collect her debt. From what I understand, you owe her exactly one hundred thirty yuan.”

Yan Wenxuan was almost driven to laughter by his anger. He Feiyan! How convenient!

He had been so foolishly enchanted by her beauty earlier, and now his expression turned dark and twisted.

“Do you know who I am? How dare you play tricks on me!”

Jiang Yu looked directly at him, her expression calm.

“I know who you are. You’re a substitute teacher at Third Middle School, and your girlfriend is Zhang Xiyue, the principal’s daughter. I also know that most of the money you swindled from He Feiyan was spent on another girl. Your actions can’t be called anything less than having multiple affairs.”

Yan Wenxuan smirked coldly. “That’s my business. What does it have to do with you? Why are you meddling?”

Jiang Yu smiled faintly. “I’m not meddling, I’m being compensated for my work. I actually want to ask you, do you know who He Feiyan is? Her older brother is the head of the security department at the National Cotton Mill No. 2. Go ask around, his arms are bigger than your thighs.”

At that moment, the head of security was far more intimidating than the local police.

Yan Wenxuan hadn’t inquired about He Feiyan’s background before, he only knew her parents weren’t around and that she was relatively easy to handle.

Now, hearing Jiang Yu’s words, his expression changed.

He was panting, unwilling to accept that he had lost money for nothing and had also lost face.

To make matters worse, Jiang Yu had blocked his way, leaving him to swallow his anger.

“Jiang Yu, right? You better not get caught in my grip!”

Jiang Yu smiled, her eyes narrowing.

“Comrade Yan, don’t be so angry. That money wasn’t yours to begin with.”

Yan Wenxuan shot her a fierce glare, realizing how foolish he had been in his earlier haste.

He spat, turned on his bike, and quickly rode away.

Jiang Yu secretly sighed in relief. She had been pretending to be at ease, glad that Yan Wenxuan hadn’t retaliated out of spite.

With her task complete, she turned to find He Feiyan.

“Here’s the one hundred thirty yuan, I’ll give you a hundred!”

He Feiyan was astonished. “You already got the money?”

Jiang Yu nodded. “I got it.”

Her tone was as casual as if she were answering, “I had lunch.”

He Feiyan was taken aback. “I knew he was lecherous, but I didn’t expect him to lose his mind completely in front of beauty!”

Jiang Yu fell silent. “There is actually no difference between you and him.”

If someone like Yan Wenxuan could trick her out of money, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but think that He Feiyan didn’t seem too clever either.

He Feiyan: “…don’t put one down and praise another.”
