Xinyou Qiao was disappointed. Venus Mu showing up every day and such a good plan she came up with ended up doing nothing but making her suffer a little. Thinking of this, she was furious.
Why was it so hard to kick Venus out of here?
But she would never give up and she believed that she would always be the winner.
Xinyou thought for a while and she finally thought of someone—Venus’s ex, Zihang Lu.
How could she get in touch with Zihang?
She suddenly remembered that once when she was in college, Venus had borrowed her phone and called Zihang, who was still her boyfriend at the time. Thinking of this, she quickly opened her address book and found a phone number.
She dialed it and to her surprise, it was connected. A deep and calm voice came.
“Hello?”
Xinyou cleared her throat and answered in a soft tone, “Hello, is this Mr. Zihang Lu?”
Zihang apparently didn’t recognize her and asked, “May I know your name?”
Xinyou sips the black tea and said gently, “I’m Xinyou, a classmate of Venus. We’ve met before, but now there’s something for you. Is it convenient for you to have a talk?”
Zihang frowned, as if he was contemplating, and asked, “What exactly is the thing? Can’t we talk over the phone?”
“It’s not very convenient on the phone. Can we meet, please?” Xinyou casually made up a lie and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.
Zihang thought for a while and finally agreed, “Okay, where?”
“Grey Sparrow Café. I’m wearing a pair of black sunglasses.”
“OK.”
Grey Sparrow Café
“Why are you giving me money?” Zihang looked cautious and asked in a cold voice.
There was no free meal. She naturally had her goal. Though he didn’t know it’s a good thing or not, he needed to be careful.
Xinyou saw his nervousness, but she was still relaxed and said, “Don’t be nervous. I just want a cooperation.”
Zihang seemed to understand her and asked lightly, “How?”
“You just have to do one thing for me.”
“What?”
Xinyou shook her head softly and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. You’ll know it later. You just need to take the money.”
Zihang didn’t move, for he didn’t know what Xinyou was thinking, so he said, “Since Miss Qiao is so insincere, I can’t work with you.”
