Chapter 268 Must Support
“What? What a fantastic deal! I must bet all my money. All this pocket money that I hardly spend.”
“How much is your pocket money? It’s such a good opportunity, you have to put more money into it. I have started borrowing money from my friends, as much as they could lend. Anyway, it’s a sure-win business.”
“Yeah, forget about friends. I’ll borrow from the professional lenders. I’ll borrow more so that after I repay the loan, I’d still be a multimillionaire. Hahahaha!”
Such conversations happened almost every day at school. Even teachers have secretly placed bets after hearing the news. After all, this could be a life-changing event. No one wanted to miss this money-making opportunity. Just like what some said, this was a sure-win situation!
During break, Pang Lili walked to Su Jin and placed all her money in front of Su Jin. She only had one friend, so it didn’t matter if she lost some money. Even though she didn’t have much, she had to support her friend. Pang Lili said seriously to Su Jin,
“Su… Su Jin, I know, I know you are going to win. These, these are mine. I only have so much, I hope you don’t mind. I’ll, I’ll bet everything on you winning.”
Su Jin looked at the small notes and coins on her desk and was surprised. The Pang family could be considered wealthy. They own a jewelry business. How could they give their daughter so little money? They were so rich, and yet they were so stingy? It was terrifying. It’s not even enough for a primary school student! Pang Lili saw the surprise on Su Jin’s face and lowered her head as she said with self-abasement,
“My, my, my mom and dad said that I, I came from the countryside and don’t, don’t need too much, too much pocket money… This, this was enough.”
Su Jin was irked when she heard this. What about people from the countryside? Currently, countryside consumption was sometimes higher than in the city. It’s just that most countryside people were simple and kind. Moreover, this chubby girl was bullied so much and still did not resist… Su Jin gave all the money to Yu Haiyang and said,
“Yu Haiyang, take this money and place a bet. Thank you.”
Yu Haiyang looked at the small change speechlessly. There were so many small notes and coins, when will he finish counting them? Pang Lili blushed slightly as she saw the contempt on Yu Haiyang’s face. She opened her mouth to say “Yu” but closed it again. How did she dare to call Yu Haiyang by his name? She looked at Yu Haiyang timidly and said,
“Um, that, that money isn’t much. But thank you, thank you and sorry, sorry for the trouble.”
Su Jin saw how frightened Lili was and patted her shoulder. Was Yu Haiyang that scary? He wasn’t going to eat anyone. He was just a little unscrupulous, but he has a good heart. He’s gotten nicer since he was taught the last lesson. Su Jin comforted,
“It’s okay, don’t be so scared. Yu Haiyang isn’t going to eat anyone. Just call him by his name.”
Pang Lili was silent for a while. What a joke. This Yu Haiyang was the school bully. Many students had been severely beaten by him. Even if he didn’t eat anyone, he never showed mercy when it came to beating up people. She, a little fat girl, wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.
When everyone heard Su Jin’s words, they looked at her in disbelief. There was no need to be afraid of Yu Haiyang? Did she forget that Yu Haiyang had beaten a classmate to death and got away with it? Wasn’t that scary enough? Su Jin smiled and said to Lili,
“Lili, it’s okay. Yu Haiyang is not that bad. Also, thank you for your support. I will remember your kindness.”
Although Lili didn’t have much money, she still supported her at this time. This chubby girl was very loyal, so Su Jin couldn’t be disloyal and must help this chubby girl. She couldn’t let her continue living like this. At the thought of this, Su Jin said,
“Lili, you’d better stay away from Nana. Otherwise, you will get hurt.”
Lili nodded quickly with a bitter smile on her face. Nana had always bullied her, and she had long wanted to stay away from her. But Nana always stayed close to her and often bullied her. She wasn’t very smart and couldn’t defend herself whenever Nana bullied her. Her parents did not like her to begin with. They hated her even more after Nana smeared her. Even her grandmother, who used to like her, was a little disappointed in her.
