Lu Weixi rubbed her eyes, as if she had not seen clearly. She looked again, and it clearly read, “Deposit: 50,000 yuan.”
Why is it only 50,000 yuan? It should be 100,000 yuan, right?
She turned around and walked to the end of the corridor, calling Qin Zhiyou.
The phone directly displayed, “The user you are calling is currently on another call, please try again later.”
Lu Weixi knew that it was working hours and he might still be busy. She paused, sent a WeChat message, and received no response. She called again and it was still “on another call”.
Lu Weixi furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and dialed Secretary Wang directly. The phone rang for a while before he picked up, and Secretary Wang was courteous, “Young Madam.”
“Is Zhiyou with you?” She was a bit anxious. In a few days, she needed to pay for the medicine. The hospital was not a charity and without money, the only option would be to reduce the medication.
“Uh… he’s not.”
Why does he answer so phonily? Even if he’s not there, the addition of a particle makes it sound so fake. However, Secretary Wang quickly improved his fluency, “Mr. Qin said last time he met you that he had made it clear. The basic living expenses for a month are 50,000 yuan, the rest of the money is counted by day. He hasn’t been home for a single day this month, so there is no need for additional payment.”
Lu Weixi felt blood rushing to her head. Qin Zhiyou had made everything clear to her, not leaving her any leeway. What was even more infuriating was that the person on the phone was Secretary Wang. She felt awkward discussing the intimate details of her relationship with Qin Zhiyou with him.
She paused, then asked again, “Will Zhiyou return home tonight? He just returned from abroad, he must be very tired.”
If he is not willing to give her money for free, she would go out to earn it! As long as he returns, he should still give her the money she deserves, right?
Unexpectedly, Secretary Wang immediately shook his head on the other side, “Mr. Qin does not have time today.”
Lu Weixi furrowed her brow, “What about tomorrow?”
“He does not have time tomorrow either.”
The refusal came so quickly, Lu Weixi immediately knew that Qin Zhiyou was doing this on purpose. He just didn’t want to come back, didn’t want to be with her, and didn’t want to give her money!
But she had to ask again, “What about the day after tomorrow?”
Secretary Wang let out a bitter laugh, “Young Madam, why do you insist? When Mr. Qin has time, he will. But when he is busy, he will not have time even if he does. He’s been very busy lately, so you don’t need to keep calling him. It’s not convenient.”
Lu Weixi hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a soft voice, “If he’s angry because of what I just said, I apologize. It was just a casual joke between my friend and 1.1 have never been dissatisfied with him and haven’t thought about breaking up with him, let alone gaining something out of it.”
The other side fell silent after hearing this for a while.
But in the end, all she waited for was a single word from Secretary Wang, “Sorry.”
Lu Weixi’s fingers squeezed the phone tightly. After collecting herself, she nodded solemnly, “I understand.”
She hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
She texted Xue Feifei, “Sorry, I might not be able to pay you back the money I owe you.”
Xue Feifei quickly replied, “No problem, do you need more? Just let me know if you do!”
Lu Weixi replied with a “Thank you,” then, with a stoic look, she calmly headed towards Xiaochen, “I’ll take Mr. Liu’s case, let’s start preparing..”
