Chapter 370: Chi Ya Runs Out to Borrow Money
As she reached the staircase, she happened to run into Gu Qiao’an’s son, Gu Bei. Gu Bei looked at her with disgust and scoffed, “All dolled up early in the morning, what are you up to now? Chi Ya, look at what you’ve done to Aunt. Can’t you ever chill out?”
He truly didn’t understand why his dad had to indulge this young lady unconditionally. Honestly, he had never seen a single redeeming quality in this cousin of his.
Spoiled, impulsive, vindictive, excessively proud… she had all the temperaments of a young lady, yet none of the courage or wisdom that a young lady should possess! All she did was cause a ruckus spending money all day, or she would pester Aunt and his dad to clean up after her. It was so annoying!
“Uncle said I could go out whenever I want, what’s it to you?” Chi Ya also gave him a cold look, fiddling with her fingernails as she walked out, “You have time; better mind your own business.”
“You!” She had brought up Gu Qiao’an again, angering Gu Bei to the point his face turned a ghastly pale, and he was speechless for half a moment.
Chi Ya walked away in triumph, returning his look with one of scorn and waving goodbye with her high heels clicking away.
Once she was out of the Gu Residence.
She opened the car door and said to the driver, “Drive, to the city center.”
“Alright.”
The Lamborghini headed towards the city center.
In a high-end private cafe, all of her good friends had arrived. When they saw her, they greeted her one by one.
“Xiao Ya.”
“Ya Ya.”
“Dear, I’ve missed you so much.”
“I’ve missed you guys too.” Chi Ya set her bag down and pulled out a chair to sit.
The person next to her ordered her a cappuccino, and then complained, “Ever since your dad dragged you away last time, we couldn’t get in touch with you. What happened, did you cause trouble and your dad grounded you?”
Chi Ya furrowed her eyebrows, annoyed at the mention of her disheveled state, “What grounding? I was just spending a couple of days with my mom.”
The girl who had asked her remained noncommittal, clearly not believing her words.
Knowing Chi Ya’s extravagant character, she didn’t believe Chi Ya could stay quietly at home; she must have been confined because she did something wrong.
Chi Ya was unaware of what she was thinking, and had she known, she would have been hopping mad. Unfortunately, Chi Ya did not know, so she took a sip of her coffee, put down the cup, and said, “Ladies, I’ve called you here today because I need to borrow some money. Can you help me come up with 500,000?”
“500,000?” The others looked at one another, their faces as if they had swallowed a fly. One of them said bluntly, “Xiao Ya, aren’t you the daughter of a wealthy family? Why are you asking us for money?”
Another chimed in, “Yeah, if you don’t have money, where would we get any?”
Chi Ya hadn’t expected that those who usually enjoyed luxurious outings with her and flirted with the offspring of wealthy male friends, at the critical moment would scatter like avoiding the plague, unwilling to help. Her expression suddenly turned gloomy, and she slammed her cup onto the table with a smack, “It’s not like I won’t pay it back! Do you have to be like this? Huh! I just want to know if you can come up with 500,000 for me now!”
With her words coming to this, one of the girls hesitantly said, “Ya Ya, it’s not that we don’t want to help you raise the money; it’s that we can’t come up with 500,000.”
“Don’t give me that! Clinging to the wealthy juniors around me all the time, you’re telling me you didn’t snag a dime?” Chi Ya was unapologetic.
There was a saying about not hitting the face when throwing punches; Chi Ya unapologetically exposing their flaws in Public Place, everyone began to look a bit uncomfortable.
