"Okay, everyone, after you finish this morning, you can rest! Thank you for your hard work. This is your reward for this period of time, and a little gift from the owner..."
Zayne's part-time job in the milk tea shop was forced to stop with the arrival of New Year's Eve.
This winter vacation was busier and more fulfilling for her than any other winter vacation in the past.
Of course, she also gained the most.
Zayne held the red envelope given by the store manager and couldn't help thinking that after the entire winter vacation, she could pay back some of the money to Sophiafirst, right?
This is great.
The burden on her shoulders can be lighter.
After finishing the last order of milk tea, Zayne took off her apron, changed her work clothes, and prepared to leave the store.
At this time.
Someone knocked on the counter of the milk tea shop and said weakly: "Make a cup of pearl milk tea, add more sugar and pearls."
Zayne subconsciously replied "OK".
However, the next second, she realized something and couldn't help looking back.
If the person in front of him is not Luther, then who else could it be?
However, even Zayne, who had known him since childhood, now suspected that he had made a mistake.
Lutherwas wearing a half-new black cotton-padded jacket, with messy hair, unshaven beard, drooping eyelids, bruises under his eyes, and yawning all the time. Moreover, even at a distance, Zayne could vaguely smell the smell of alcohol emanating from him!
"Zayne?"
At this time, Luther also recognized Zayne, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"It's really you, Zayne! Why are you here..."
As he said this, he suddenly changed his expression and snorted.
"After leaving me, have you been so miserable? You have to work here during the happyNew Year. I guess you don't have money to go back to your hometown for the happyNew Year!"
Zaynelooked at him with mixed feelings: "Brother Lu, how did you become like this?"
"What have I become? What have I become!"
Luther was a little excited and raised his voice angrily.
"Zayne, you are the one who has changed, not me! I have always been the same, but you have become snobbish and have suffered retribution for it!"
Before he finished speaking, the store manager, who was washing the mop in the bathroom, rushed out carrying an enchanted mop: "Who? Who is making trouble in my store? It's New Year's Day, you are looking for practice, right?"
Seeing the store manager's brutal appearance like Lu 's reincarnation, Lu Lu was speechless and quickly stepped back.
The store manager glared at him: "Where did you come from, you drunkard, bullying me here? Get out of here!"
Lu Lu was so angry that he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of the mop, and only said: "I just came to buy milk tea, how can it be called bullying? Besides, she and I are boyfriend and girlfriend..."
"He is your boyfriend?"
Hearing this, the store manager was shocked.
She couldn't help but look at Zayne, her eyes full of sympathy, as if saying "This child looks smart, how could he be blind".
Zayne shook her head: "No, we are just fellow villagers."
The word "fellow villagers" was like a trigger for the bomb.
Lu Lu's successive setbacks in life caused him to drink from time to time. At this moment, when he was drunk, he couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Zayne! Don't you dare to admit our relationship? Have you forgotten how you came to Kyoto, who took you to study everywhere, and who provided you with living expenses! You ungrateful woman, you actually said that we are just fellow villagers?"
Zayne clenched his fists and asked with gritted teeth: "Brother Lu, did you earn that money?"
"If it wasn't earned by me, did you earn it?!"
In Lu Lu's heart, that money was earned by his own ability.
He never thought that it was the Jiang family's money from the beginning to the end.
What's more, after getting the 30 million compensation, he had already returned 1.8 million to Sophiaas Sophiasaid!
Now, he just felt that Sophiawas a shameless robber, and that Sophiaowed him.
How could he not be angry when he heard Zayne question him like this again?
Anger often makes people's IQ lower and say absurd things.
"Zayne, you want to default on your debt, right? Good, very good. Since you said that we are just from the same hometown, then there is no need for me to invest so much money in you. You must return the money to me."
Looking at the crazy Luther in front of her, Zayne was heartbroken.
Thinking of her former admiration for him, her obedience to him, and her expectations for each other's future, she suddenly felt a surge in her stomach and couldn't help leaning over to vomit.
The store manager patted her shoulder distressedly.
Lutherhad a gloomy face, and looked at Zaynewho was vomiting non-stop, and his fists were already clenched.
In his opinion...This is probably because Zaynemet the wrong person after she left him and got pregnant before marriage.
"Retribution, this is your retribution, Zayne!"
Luther suddenly laughed wildly.
"What's the difference between you now and those bitches? Zayne, you're done, your life is over! This is the end of you betraying me, haha..."
Before the manager's mop hit his face, Luther felt a pressure on the back of his neck.
He turned his head with a stiff neck and met Xiaoqi's cold and ruthless eyes.
Chelsea held the instant noodles in one hand and pinched his neck with the other.
This huge hand strength made Luther doubt her gender.
Chelsea swallowed the instant noodles in her mouth and said coldly: "Come with me, I have something to talk to you."
She pinched Luther's neck and pushed him to a secluded alley.
Three minutes later.
Chelsea walked out of the alley while slurping instant noodles.
Lu ther, with a bruised face and nose, sat against the wall, rubbing his neck, breathing heavily.
He looked at chelsea's departing back in shock.
He didn't stand up until he could no longer see her shadow, holding on to the wall.
The moment he left the alley, he ran towards home like crazy as if he had been pardoned.
...
"Miss Bai, get in the car."
Zayne'sgood mood for the New Year was completely gone after Lu ther's disturbance.
She followed Chelseato the parking lot in a daze.
Chelseareminded her several times before she got in the car in a daze.
Zaynewas silent along the way.
It seemed that she realized at this moment that the obstacle between her and Sophiawas not only the debt, but also Luther.
Even though she and Lutherhad never really been in love, Lutherwas getting more and more crazy and would never let her go easily.
"What should I do?" Zayne was in a state of confusion: "Do I have to live in such a shadow for the rest of my life, facing his dirty words from time to time?"
"Why..."
"Why did such an excellent and elegant man become like this!"
At this time, Chelseaseemed to see through her thoughts.
She knocked on the steering wheel calmly and said, "Miss , instead of worrying about this scoundrel doing you harm, you might as well worry about the possibility that the Sophia family will go bankrupt or Sophiawill not like you anymore."
Zayne looked at her blankly.
Where did this come from?
Chelsea laughed twice.
"The reason is very simple! As long as the Jiang family does not go bankrupt and Sophia has always liked you, then I can guarantee that I will be your eyes and fists, and will sweep away all visible and invisible threats for you to ensure your absolute safety!"
As she said this, she suddenly paused again.
Frowning.
"Oh no, there is another premise, that is, Sophia will pay me on time every month..."
