Spend Money on Goddess, Use more! Gain more! Chapter 400 230: The Malicious Scheme, Best Friends About to

At the sa ti, in an internet-famous Western restaurant, Liu Lili and her best friend Xia An sat facing each other.

"Why are we eting up, Lili, you insisted on eting during a weekday."

Xia An fiddled with the salad in front of her, speaking with a hint of complaint: "I was supposed to work overti tonight but sneaked out behind my boss's back. Why can't this be said on WeChat?"

Today, she wore a white down jacket, her makeup as exquisite as always. As she spoke, her red lips parted lightly, her captivating beauty drawing the attention of many n in the restaurant.

Liu Lili was cutting the steak on her plate, her movents sowhat agitated.

"Ah, don't ntion it, these days have been driving crazy. I wanted to chat, to vent!"

She looked up, her heavily made-up face full of gloom: "What, you don't want to keep company either?"

"Of course I do."

Xia An softened her tone: "What's wrong lately? You look so upset... who has upset you again?"

Liu Lili put down her knife and fork, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said with resentnt: "Wu Wei ca back a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Xia An's heart jumped inexplicably, feeling slightly guilty.

She rembered her encounter with Wu Wei last week, and his sharp questions.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

She maintained a calm deanor, showing just the right amount of doubt: "Weren't you always looking for him before? Why are you so annoyed now?"

"Wu Wei, I don't know what's up with him, he's like a changed person!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Lili seed to find an outlet for her grievances and imdiately poured out her troubles to her friend: "He used to like so much, always complying with , and now when I lower myself to find him, even... even confessed my feelings to him, guess what? He actually scolded ! And... slapped !"

Her tone beca both aggrieved and resentful towards the end.

"He hit you?"

Xia An was sowhat surprised, her eyes widening.

Wu Wei's impression now was strong and unforgiving in speech, but resorting to physical action... was indeed a bit beyond her expectations.

"Exactly!"

Liu Lili, emotional, turned her left side slightly, pointing: "Look, he slapped so hard at the ti that my face swelled when I got back, burning with pain, it took several days to subside, couldn't even cover it with foundation!"

Xia An thought, could it be what she said to Wu Wei last ti that caused Liu Lili to get slapped?

She cautiously asked: "Which day was it?"

Liu Lili thought for a mont: "Last Thursday night."

Xia An recalled that she encountered Wu Wei on Friday, so Liu Lili getting slapped surely had nothing to do with her.

It seems Wu Wei had known so of her troubles for a while, hence his resoluteness towards her.

When he t her on Friday, he had those questions.

Following this train of thought, she asked: "Did he... find sothing out and was especially angry, that's why he hit you..."

"All because of that idiot Huang Xin! ddling!"

Liu Lili nodded, her face angrier, gritting her teeth saying: "He saw go to a hotel with President Zhang and told Wu Wei about it."

Xia An thought, so that's how it is.

She spoke with understanding: "No wonder, any man wouldn't be able to endure this kind of thing."

"Why?"

But Liu Lili couldn't take these words at all, instead complaining indignantly, in a victim's tone: "Why does Wu Wei believe what Huang Xin says but not ? If he likes , he should believe unconditionally! I said Huang Xin slandered , why wouldn't he listen! n really aren't good for anything!"

Hearing Liu Lili's twisted logic and aggressive comnts, Xia An couldn't help feeling speechless, with a strong sense of discomfort rising within her.

Can she really justify herself like this?

Don't you have any self-awareness about who you are?

When soone treats you sincerely, you treat them like backup, not cherishing them at all.

Now when you've ssed up, gotten pregnant, and can't find the child's father, you plan to have soone pick up the pieces, they're unwilling, and you still bla them?

At that mont, Xia An started genuinely and calmly considering: Is this friend still worth keeping?

She thought back to when she first t Liu Lili in college, she was quite simple, even a little rustic.

At that ti, because of her beauty, she was voted the campus belle on the first day of school, almost everyday boys on and off-campus would co to confess, give gifts.

She initially would politely refuse, but later so boys would forcefully give her gifts and run off.

She had to bring them back to the dormitory, sharing things like snacks, small accessories, and costics with roommates.

Liu Lili was familiarized with her then.

Later, Liu Lili seed to have "learned" sothing from her.

She too stopped clearly rejecting those chasing her and started "stringing them along," managing her "fish pond."

When she saw soone with good conditions and willing to spend money on her, she would try dating them to gain more benefits.

If a richer suitor appeared, she would imdiately "get over" and the situation of double-dating or even triple-dating occurred often in the later college years.

At school then, she was sowhat restrained.

In the last couple of years, as she stepped into society, realized the harsh reality, the importance of money, and certain "shortcuts," Liu Lili began becoming more extre.

Her moral baseline got lower, and her actions and thods more explicit.
