Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Repaying the Debt
I turned around to look at the person walking out of the stone gambling shop. He was tall, over 1.8 meters, with a dark complexion and a buzz cut. His hair stood up like nails, giving him a spirited appearance. He was dressed in a suit, and his leather shoes were very
He walked over, and the chubby guy seemed a bit unhappy, saying, "Hey, brother, are you meddling in my business?"
"Although we weren't born from the same mother, if you call me 'big brother,' I have to look after you. Lao Wu, don't get into fights. In this day and age, making money is what matters. Opportunities are everywhere, and others are snatching them up before you know it. You
After he finished speaking, he walked up to me and buttoned his suit, saying, "Little brother, you have a keen eye! That piece of fabric may be small, just a sesame seed in my eyes, but you said it could yield, and it did. Such confidence is rare, unless one"
His words surprised me; I didn't expect that someone would actually notice me in that big environment. However, looking at that fat guy, he should be a brother of this person, so it's not surprising that he noticed me. But they didn't look like good people, especially the one who was talking to me.
As soon as I finished speaking, that fat guy said, "Damn it, do you think you're pretty capable? Come on, let's see who's tougher, damn it."
His words were harsh. I noticed a few people were about to surround me, but the one in the suit just waved his hand, and they stepped back. Although they were reluctant, they didn't dare to come closer. At that moment, the man in the suit took a business card out of his inner pocket
I held the business card, and he left with someone. I looked at the name on the card and was startled; it was Qian Guang...
This person is quite famous in Ruili. He has five brothers, and his father used to be the director of the police station. This eldest brother, Qian Guang, has relied on his father's position to engage in some underworld activities since he was young. His father was very angry and even personally
Qian Guang's three younger brothers have all been to prison, and he has been incarcerated as well. Each of them is a troublemaker, with some even being arrested while armed. This Qian Laowu, born of a stepmother, is also quite domineering. I've heard that the four brothers
I never expected to run into Qian Guang. The stories about their antics were often the topics we bragged about on the basketball court back in middle and high school. Everyone called him Brother Qian Guang, making it seem like we all knew him. To put it simply, Qian Guang was our idol
I really didn't expect to meet him.
I put away the business card, but I don't think I'll reach out to him. After all, I'm a good person, and I don't want to have any conflicts with these people.
I stayed in Ruili for a day, not wanting the swelling on my face to be seen by others. The next day, I bought a high-speed train ticket back to Kunming. After returning to the school dormitory, I noticed that my roommates were ignoring me; everyone was very cold towards me
I don't blame them either; after all, it's been a long time coming. I've paid back all the money I owed, over three thousand in total, and then I invited them out for skewers. But no one wanted to go, saying they needed to study for exams. I watched the three of them
I understand, and I didn't say much. I just went out by myself. I can't blame others for giving me a cold shoulder; if you borrow money too often, it will inevitably annoy people.
I have some money now, so I ordered a lot of food at the barbecue stall near the school, and I also got three bottles of beer. I'm drinking alone, but hey, I deserve to treat myself.
As I was eating, I suddenly saw two people standing in front of me. I looked up and saw Xuan Ling and a classmate named Cheng Na. Cheng Na is quite tall, probably over 1.6 meters, but she's not good-looking—she has a big mouth and small eyes. Plus
Even when it comes to making a fuss, I wouldn't choose someone like this. It's hard to shake off. I looked at him glaring at me, and I felt a bit uneasy inside. I said, "What's the matter? I remember I don't owe you any money, right?"
"Yeah, you don't owe me money, but you owe Xuanling money. You're here feasting all by yourself, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
Listening to Cheng Na's words made me feel uncomfortable, so I said, "I owe Xuan Ling money, and she doesn't say anything. Why do you have to meddle?"
"Of course, she's my sister. Do you know that Xuanling lent you all her living expenses? She thought you were really in trouble and needed money urgently, but she didn't expect you to be here feasting all by yourself. Do you have any idea what Xuanling has been eating these past
As I listened to Cheng Na's words, I looked at Xuan Ling. She hurriedly hid the bun behind her back, lowered her head, and said nothing, but from her expression, she looked very sad. I felt really guilty; honestly, I didn't know that Xuan Ling had given me all
Fortunately, I won some money. If I had lost, I would really have felt sorry for Xuanling. I don't have much of a relationship with her; we can only be considered classmates. But she was willing to lend me her entire month's living expenses, choosing to eat steamed buns herself just to
I said, "Let's eat together; whatever you want, it's on me."
"Hey, are you flaunting your wealth with Xuanling's money?"Can you have some self-respect?I've heard that you've been borrowing from all your classmates lately, and everyone is avoiding you. I think it's actually you who's avoiding everyone, right?"Enjoying this all by yourself, treating everyone like an ATM?" Cheng Na said.
I looked at her indignant face, feeling quite upset. Honestly, a woman like her must have the heavens blind to find a man. But she left me speechless. I took out a stack of money from my pocket, counted out a thousand, and feeling a bit guilty, added another five hundred.
I handed it to Xuanling, and she looked a bit surprised, gazing at me. She said, "No, a thousand is a thousand. Take back the extra. But I have to ask you, where did this money come from? You mustn't do anything bad; it could ruin your
I felt both touched and angry when I heard that. Why does everyone think I would turn bad?I said, "Not stolen or robbed, won from gambling on stones."
Xuan Ling looked at me in even greater surprise and said, "Gambling on stones? Are you crazy? Have you forgotten how your father died?"
I was really angry when I heard that. I said, "Xuanling, I borrowed your money, but don't think that gives you the right to lecture me. I can take responsibility for the path I choose to walk, okay?"
"Dog bites Lu Dongbin. If you're going to jump off a building that day, send me a text and I'll come to watch," Cheng Na said. As she spoke, she pulled Xuan Ling away. I felt particularly angry; I watched Xuan Ling look back at me, her eyes
I believe my father's research experience is valuable, so I won't make the same mistakes again; I will definitely turn things around.
I'm not in the mood to eat anymore, so I'll settle the bill and get ready to leave. I still have over five thousand yuan on me; I'll gamble again when I have the time. This time I'll go big—who knows, I might just get rich overnight.
I wasn't planning to go back to the dorm, so those guys wouldn't have to worry about how to guard against me borrowing money while they were trying to sleep. I found a hostel for over thirty bucks, planning to stay for one night.
There are inns everywhere near Kunming University, both high-end and budget. As I walk down the brightly lit street filled with nightlife, I gaze at those luxurious hotel buildings, wondering when I will be able to stay in one of them.
"Hey, Zhao Fei, what a coincidence to run into you! Why didn't your dad come to pick me up?"
I heard a familiar voice and turned to take a look. I was curious about who it was. When I saw, it turned out to be Zeng Hong. She was dressed quite provocatively; I had never seen her dressed like that before.
She walked towards me, and I didn't dare to recognize her. The short pink-purple shawl jacket highlighted her excellent figure, and her jet-black hair fell naturally in soft waves over her shoulders.Clear and bright pupils, gently arched willow-like eyebrows, long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and fair, flawless skin revealing a hint of rosy blush.
It's obvious she came out to have fun. What she said was a bit strange; she should know my dad passed away. I don't understand why she would ask that. When I saw her being chased by three guys behind her, I understood. She brought me along as a decoy.
"Zhao Fei, I completely forgot that your father passed away, I'm sorry. By the way, you can drive, right? Could you give me a ride? I've had some drinks and can't drive."Zeng Hong said, as she spoke, she handed me the car keys. I held them in my hand and took a look; it was a Maserati GT, worth over two million.
"Hey, brother, you're just passing by, right? If you're just passing through, you can go on your way. My buddies and I have things to do. Otherwise, we might have to find some fun with you, since you took my fun away!""
I listened to the speaker and glanced at him. He was dressed in a casual designer outfit, looking a bit awkward with a face full of blemishes. Tall and skinny, he had long hair that resembled a Beatle's. This guy was the school bully; everyone knew him.
"Huáng Qín, am I your entertainment?" Zeng Hóng said unhappily.
This person is named Huang Qin. His family has some money; I don't know exactly how much, but it's a lot, so he's very arrogant. He changes girlfriends as easily as flipping through a book.
"Zeng Hong, we're all just here to have fun, and we've already arrived at the hotel entrance. If you want to go home, are you just messing with your buddies?" Huang Qin said.
"I gave Huahua face; she invited me to your birthday party, but she didn't say anything about getting a room with you all. It's getting late, and my driver has come to pick me up, so I won't be staying to hang out with you."
She spoke as she pressed the key in my hand, opened the car door, and got in. I looked at Huang Qin; he was glaring at me, looking as if he would kill me if I dared to leave.
I feel really annoyed. To be honest, I didn't want to help Zeng Hong, but I was particularly irritated by Huang Qin's look at me, so I opened the car door and got in anyway.
"Damn it, you've got guts, little driver. Just wait and see how I deal with you later."
