Chapter 4: Poor Troublemaker
Su Qingya stood up satisfied and said, "Dad said he arranged to et you next Wednesday. Prepare yourself properly before then. I'll send soone to pick you up."
Before she left, she bent down and warned, "Rember, you're a b*stard. So don't push your luck!"
...
When Xie Xuan ca out from the back room, he saw Lu Haiqiao wiping the corners of her eyes with a tissue.
The woman opposite her had already left.
"What's going on?" he asked his boss.
The cafe was not big, and Su Qingya spoke with a high volu. The owner, who had been in the front of the cafe the whole ti, had overheard most of the conversation.
He glanced at Xie Xuan. "Why are you so concerned?"
Xie Xuan touched the tip of his nose with his index finger. "She's pretty."
The owner made a disapproving sound. "Being pretty is one thing, but with all that debt on your back, how are you going to date soone?"
Xie Xuan was about to respond when his phone rang.
He took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a WeChat ssage.
The owner craned his neck to take a peek. "Is it those debt collectors again?"
Ever since this kid started working here, he never ntioned his parents or any other family mbers. Instead, the owner had accidentally overheard him say phrases like 'how much money', 'is it enough', 'how much ti left', and so on many tis when he was on the phone.
It seed like he had offended the wrong people, owed too much money, and didn't dare to contact his family.
As he thought about it, the furrow in the owner's brow deepened.
He hoped this kid could behave and not bring those creditors to the door. His shop was small and couldn't withstand such turmoil.
Xie Xuan, who was completely unaware that he had been labeled as a 'poor troublemaker', was currently looking at his phone, absorbed in the ssage.
The WeChat ssage was from Zhou Nuo.
A link to an auction website.
"Brother Xuan, the thing you're looking for will be auctioned off today at 3 p.m. sharp."
Xie Xuan tapped the screen and typed out a response.
Before he could hit send, he heard Lu Haiqiao shout, "Excuse ."
Between beauty and an important matter, Xie Xuan decisively chose the forr.
He put his phone back in his pocket and quickly walked over.
"May I take your order?"
Lu Haiqiao had a shoulder bag slung over one shoulder and a thick book in her arms. There was only a mobile phone on the table.
"Thank you. I don't need to order any more. Please bring the bill."
As she spoke, she picked up her phone. "WeChat or Alipay?"
Xie Xuan replied, "Anything is fine."
Lu Haiqiao casually opened WeChat, and when the 'Scan to Pay' page popped up, she raised her head.
Xie Xuan, who intended to return to the counter to get the paynt QR code, instantly changed his mind after their eyes t.
Standing face to face, he could see her appearance.
This Little Marshmallow was really beautiful.
A kind of obedient, sweet beauty.
Her skin was fair, her nose was well-shaped, and her eyes were moist and slightly red. On both sides of her cheeks, a pair of shallow dimples appeared when she smiled faintly.
"How much?" she asked.
Xie Xuan glanced at the empty coffee cup on the table. "Twenty-five."
He took out his phone and opened his own paynt code.
With a vibration, the 25 yuan was deposited into his WeChat wallet.
After settling the bill, Lu Haiqiao picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
As she passed by Xie Xuan, she heard him suddenly shout, "Lu Haiqiao?"
She turned her head, didn't say anything, and her slightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of 'how do you know my na' perplexity.
