“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”
Lu Yanxi kept apologizing, “I only saw that your mother urgently needed money for treatment, and I didn’t want you to waste money in places like this. I didn’t think it through, I’m sorry.”
Chen Yuan’s face softened, “Silly, what are you apologizing for? I should be the one apologizing. I invited you to dinner and yet you had to pay. I feel really bad about it.”
Listening to his words, Qiao Yin thought to herself, if he really felt bad, shouldn’t he immediately transfer the money to Lu Yanxi? Getting angry at her for what happened, what was that about?
However, she didn’t understand Chen Yuan, and since his mother was indeed ill and in need of money, Qiao Yin couldn’t just bring it up and put Lu Yanxi in an awkward position.
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Lu Yanxi heaved a sigh of relief, “You don’t need to feel bad, it’s just a small matter. You should go back and be with your mother, she must need you now.”
“Then let me take you home first.”
“No need. Your home and mine are in opposite directions. It’ll take you more than an hour to go back and forth. Second Sister-in-law and I can take a cab home. You should leave quickly!”
Chen Yuan sighed, “Yan Xi, you’re always so understanding. You’re the nicest girl I’ve ever met. I’ll go back home first then. Another day, I’ll make up for this meal. Next time, don’t rush to pay, okay?”
Lu Yanxi quickly nodded, “I understand!”
Chen Yuan gently patted her head, got into the car with his friend, and then drove off.
Lu Yanxi stood there, watching his car disappear into the traffic until it was out of sight. Then she took out her mobile phone and logged into mobile banking.
Qiao Yin hastily tugged at her clothes, “Yan Xi, what are you doing?”
“Second Sister-in-law, I want to transfer money to Chen Yuan. Didn’t his friend say he was short of eight hundred thousand?”
Qiao Yin felt that Chen Yuan and his friend were playing some sort of game while at the dinner table. The strange atmosphere made her uncomfortable.
During the meal, neither of the two men paid a penny. Lu Yanxi was thoughtful enough to subtly pay the bill ahead of time. If Chen Yuan was as thoughtful and gentle as he portrayed himself to be, why didn’t he settle the bill in advance?
What made her more uncomfortable was that, after Lu Yanxi settled the bill, Chen Yuan accused her of looking down on him, saying that she was a princess and he a poor boy.
Lu Yanxi had been understanding from beginning to end. How could she have looked down on him?
He was being overly sensitive.
“Yan Xi, you should consider carefully before deciding whether or not to lend him the money. After all, it’s not a small amount.”
“But his mother desperately needs the money for her medical treatment. Chen Yuan has a strong sense of dignity and it’s hard for him to ask. How could I be so insensitive and ignore him? No one else can help him except me.”
Looking at her, Qiao Yin realized she was too deeply involved, much like herself in the past, demanding very little from the man she deeply loved but setting high standards for herself.
Lu Yanxi even felt that if she didn’t take the initiative to transfer the money, it would be insensitivity on her part.
“Yan Xi, how long has it been since you last saw him?”
“About four months, why?”
“Four months without seeing, the moment you meet, he asks to borrow money, and a hefty sum of eight hundred thousand at that. Don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental?”
“He didn’t ask to borrow money, it was his friend who said so. He even stopped his friend and didn’t let him say more.”
“What if they are using this as a tactic?”
“Impossible!”
Lu Yanxi shook her head adamantly, “Second Sister-in-law, I know you mean well. But rest assured, I trust Chen Yuan’s character. He is worth helping. I must give him this money. He’s going through a really tough time and he needs me.”
As she was speaking, she transferred the eight hundred thousand into Chen Yuan’s account without hesitation.
Qiao Yin sighed softly.
Hopefully, it’s just her overly suspicious nature.
Outwardly, Chen Yuan seemed to genuinely care for Lu Yanxi, taking care of her during the meal and knowing her preferences well.
With his impressive appearance, he also shouldn’t be using his own mother to deceive people..
