"Actually, whether conditions are good or bad, everyone eats three meals a day and sleeps in only one bed. There's no difference."
Tang Xiaomin said it matter-of-factly, showing no sense of superiority.
People are like this; they only flaunt what is difficult for them to obtain.
What they already possess, they consider ordinary, with no ripples in their hearts.
Lu Sisi envied Tang Xiaomin and everything about her from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiaomin, I really envy you. Sometimes I also lament the unfairness of the world, why some people can have everything, while others, no matter how hard they try, can't get anything."
"Don't think too much. Your complexion is worse than the last time I visited. You should get some rest. I should be going too."
Hearing this, Lu Sisi could no longer sit still.
"Xiaomin, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I have something to discuss with you."
"Oh, what is it? Tell me. Tang Ye is still waiting for me downstairs, I'm in a hurry."
Lu Sisi struggled for a long time before finally lowering her pride.
"Xiaomin, my hospitalization cost a lot of money. I've used up all of my brother's savings. Can you..."
At this moment, Lu Sisi's embarrassed face flushed red all the way to her neck.
"Can you..."
"Can you lend me some money?"
The air suddenly fell silent.
...
"Don't worry, I'll write an IOU. After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll work hard to earn money and repay you."
...
Tang Xiaomin was speechless.
She recalled a saying: how to shatter relationships between people in the fastest way? It's by lending money.
She pretended to be hesitant and said, "Sisi, I'm a bit tight on cash myself lately."
"Ah? Xiaomin, Yan Zong has such a huge Immortal Mansion Group. Doesn't he give you money to spend usually?"
Tang Xiaomin smiled outwardly but inwardly cursed her ancestors eighteen generations.
Lending money was one thing, but she even expected Tang Xiaomin to ask Yan Jue for money to lend to her.
Indeed, shameless people are feared even by ghosts.
She had killed Tang Xu, yet she had the audacity to shamelessly ask her for money.
Suppressing the urge to punch Lu Sisi to death, Tang Xiaomin pretended to be hesitant and said. Su Dan Novel Network
"Although it's embarrassing to ask Yan Jue for money, Sisi, you're in trouble now. As a friend, I'll help if I can."
"How about this, you wait for my news. I'll bring the money to you as soon as I get it, okay?"
Lu Sisi's nose felt sore, and she was instantly moved to tears.
"Xiaomin... Thank you. You're too kind to me. Right now, you're the only friend who's good to me."
"Don't be like that. We're all friends. It's only right that I help you."
While Lu Sisi was overwhelmed with emotion, Tang Xiaomin left the hospital.
As soon as Lu Zelei returned, Lu Sisi excitedly told him.
"Brother, Xiaomin has already promised to lend me money."
"What? Are you serious?"
Lu Zelei found it hard to believe that given Lu Sisi's relationship with Tang Xiaomin, she would actually lend her money.
"Yes, she just promised me. She'll bring it to me as soon as she gets the money. We have a way to pay for the medical expenses, brother."
Although it was unexpected, Tang Xiaomin's willingness to lend them money was a temporary solution to their urgent problem.
Lu Sisi's medical expenses were indeed too high, especially the medication for her psychological illness, which was outrageously expensive, costing tens of thousands a week.
Money was flowing like water, adding to the burden of their already not-so-wealthy lives.
"It's good that she's willing to lend it to you. When she brings you the money, remember to give her an IOU. Don't make people feel uncomfortable in your dealings."
"Mm, I understand."
...
In the car, Tang Ye immediately noticed Tang Xiaomin's low mood.
"Xiaomin, who upset you?"
Tang Xiaomin didn't say who it was but asked Tang Ye a question.
"I'm asking you, if someone you dislike asks you for money, what would you do?"
"Someone I dislike," Tang Ye muttered.
"I wouldn't lend it."
"But what if you can't refuse them directly?"
Tang Ye thought for a moment.
"Simple. You borrow money before they do."
"Sigh..."
Tang Xiaomin sighed helplessly. Her plan had failed. She should have done that from the start.
It was too late to say anything now.
Tang Ye kindly reminded her.
"Xiaomin, I'm telling you, you'd better not lend it."
"If someone with no money asks you for money, it means they've already borrowed from all their relatives and friends, and no one is willing to lend. This indicates they have poor character."
"Furthermore, even if you lend them money, they might not necessarily repay you. They might disappear or drag it out. When you ask for the money back, they'll call you petty. People are all sorts."
Tang Ye had seen a lot of this before, as Zhang Meiyu's relatives often came to borrow money, so he understood it all.
Lu Sisi wanted to borrow her money, but she also wanted her life. For now, she would torment her.
They followed Tang Ye to the Paradise Entertainment Company.
As an artist at the company, Tang Ye was quite popular.
"Tang Ye is here."
"Tang Ye, good afternoon."
...
"Hello, everyone."
Tang Ye greeted everyone warmly.
At this moment, a young man, nearly 1.8 meters tall with a pointed chin, walked towards them.
"Tang Ye, you had unauthorized cosmetic surgery, and the company has decided to shelve you. What, you haven't given up yet, still trying to struggle?"
This handsome guy was Sheng Mo, a new idol recently being groomed by Paradise Entertainment.
Although male, he wore exquisite makeup on his face. He could be described as a charming handsome man.
Even women might not have his makeup done as exquisitely.
Sheng Mo was Tang Ye's competitor. After Tang Ye's recent unauthorized cosmetic surgery, the company had given all of Tang Ye's original resources to Sheng Mo.
He had been doing well lately and looked down on his senior, Tang Ye.
Tang Ye replied irritably, "My affairs are none of your business. When I was popular, you didn't even know where you were."
The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder. The onlookers just watched the show.
"Heh."
Sheng Mo chuckled and scrutinized Tang Xiaomin.
"This beautiful lady, she's not the dance instructor you hired, is she? She's indeed good, but still not as good as Jenny."
"Although Jenny has been assigned as my exclusive dance partner, if you need her, I can temporarily lend her to you. We're all in the same company, so don't be shy to ask."
Sheng Mo's words were both an overt and covert mockery, intended to put Tang Ye down.
Previously, Jenny was Tang Ye's female dance partner.
After he had the surgery, the company assigned Jenny to Sheng Mo.
Seeing Sheng Mo's smug and triumphant expression, Tang Ye's anger surged, but he still suppressed his impulse.
"This is my sister, and she's not a dance instructor."
"Since the company has assigned Fang Zhenni to you, she naturally follows you. However, thank you for your kind offer. I have a helper now, so I don't need her."
"'Xiaomin, let's go."
Tang Ye left without a fuss or argument.
Tang Xiaomin, walking beside him, suddenly noticed that Tang Ye had changed a lot.
"You managed to tolerate it when he provoked you like that just now. That's really unlike you."
To be honest, seeing that person's arrogant and triumphant demeanor.
Tang Xiaomin had wanted to kick him a few times right then and there, to show him why the flowers were so red.
