Chapter 44 - UserFriendly (2)
"Tang Xuan, I know that you are still short with money, but could you please pay the amount you owe me by the end of the week? You don't have to pay any interest as long as you can give it back. My mom has been questioning me where the money went, and I've told her I lent it to you, so could you please return the money ASAP?"
A vein on Shen Minyao's head was about to pop from irritation as she spoke with her gentle tone towards Tang Xuan. If it wasn't for the hefty amount of money Tang Xuan owed her during their second year, the real Shen Minyao wouldn't have lied to Cheng Lifan.
Tang Xuan was stunned by her sudden demand. She had never thought that Shen Minyao would still remember the money she owed her roommate last year. With how wealthy the Shen family was and how Shen Minyao's mother spoiled her rotten, Tang Xuan thought that the money she owed would be forgotten.
"I—" She didn't know how to respond to Shen Minyao. The money she owed Shen Minyao was worth half a year of her rent on this dormitory, and her family wasn't faring well these days, so how was she supposed to pay up on such short notice?
The fox woman grinned inwardly, seeing the shocked reaction of Tang Xuan.
'You didn't go easy on Shen Minyao when you said unbearable and shameful things about her, so why should I go easy on you?' She thought.
"But, Yaoyao, I don't have money…" Tang Xuan snapped out of her daze and tried to coax Shen Minyao to delay it, hoping that she would forget it eventually. Why was Shen Minyao asking her for the money now when the rich girl wasn't even lacking? Tang Xuan sneered inwardly.
Shen Minyao slightly nodded her head in understanding, closing her luggage and regarding Tang Xuan. Acting pitiful but cursing her in heart, what kind of friend this Tang Xuan was?
"But it's been a year since then, Tang Xuan, and it's not a small amount of money, don't you think? My mama worked hard to earn it to give it to me, so why should I give it freely to you?" She countered. "I'm still young to have a daughter to raise, especially one at your age."
Tang Xuan was rendered speechless by that. Then, her face turned white and then blackened as she realized that Shen Minyao had just insulted her. She had never thought Shen Minyao was capable of countering her words. If it was in the past, the rich girl would avoid this confrontation and not argue with her. So what just happened? Was this the same Shen Minyao they knew since their freshman years?
"Didn't you say you don't have classes anymore in the afternoons? Why don't you take a part-time job to earn your spending money and pay me? If you don't, I'll ask my mom to send your parents a notice, so they will pay on your behalf," Shen Minyao suggested with a wicked glint in her eyes.
Dare to suck Shen Minyao's resources dry like parasites and stab her behind her back? Heh, then watch her make them experience a living hell.
While it was true that Shen Minyao came from a wealthy family and she had more money compared to her peers, the monthly allowance she received from Cheng Lifan was more than enough to cover for her expenses. The excess money she got from it was what she kept in her savings as she didn't dare to ask her stepmother for more just in case she wanted to buy something.
"No!!!" Tang Xuan exclaimed, her face blanched at Shen Minyao's blatant words. If her parents found out she owed Shen Minyao a great amount of money, Tang Xuan would never hear the end of it.
"I'll pay you! I'll pay you, but give me time, Yaoyao!" She said helplessly. She could not allow her parents to know that she offended the Shen family, but why was Shen Minyao asking her for the money so suddenly, anyway?
"Tang Xuan, a year is more than enough to save and pay me up, right? Don't you think you are being unreasonable for asking me for an extension? I could only give you a week. It's not my fault that you aren't responsible enough to pay on time," Shen Minyao said before taking her books and pens from her study table. She then dragged her luggage out the door, leaving her roommates shocked by her words.
"Yaoyao, let me help you with your luggage!" Ming Shu followed her out and took the luggage in her hand, accompanying her as they walked to Shen Minyao's new room.
"Are you sure you would be fine on your own?" She asked Shen Minyao after a long silence between them, glancing at the corner of her eyes to look at her friend.
"I'm already used to it, Ming Shu. Don't worry about me," the fox woman replied with a slight smile on her face. Before she met Xiao Bai and Yu Yan and before taking Little Jiu under her wing, she had been on her own.
At least the real Shen Minyao had one good friend among these fickle humans who only knew how to hurt each other. As for those two people, they could only blame themselves for the problem they started. If they hadn't betrayed Shen Minyao in the past, would the fox woman even waste her precious time on them?
As long as they didn't wrong the real Shen Minyao in the past, the fox woman would leave them unscathed from her revenge. As for those people who wronged her host… heh, they should be very prepared for what was coming to them.
Beating Xu Shenshen up was just a start.. In the future, those who would dare to scheme against her wouldn't only receive twin slaps on their faces because Shen Minyao would beat them up or let them experience hell on earth.
