Chapter 16 Paying Debts, a Matter of Course

Watching Liu Xixi's crazed state, Yun Kai hid the smile in his eyes before speaking again, "Xixi, I won't be moving back. I paid the accommodation fee of twenty-two thousand for this year, but you once said you would split it with me. Can you give me the other half now?"

In her previous life, she was afraid of hurting Liu Xixi's pride and said they would split it, but she never intended to actually ask her for the money.

But now — she had to get it back!!

The color drained from Liu Xixi's face, leaving not a trace of blood, "What?"

Yun Kai sighed, her face full of sorrow, "I won't hide it from you, something happened at home, and I need money now... Also, the skincare products I asked you to buy for me a few days ago, I don't need them anymore. Please return the money to me."

She had always been very generous with Liu Xixi, never quibbling about money.

But Liu Xixi was not content. She freeloaded off her and deceived her out of money, buying counterfeit goods with the money given for genuine skincare products and clothes.

Liu Xixi finally lost control, screaming hysterically, "Yun Kai, what do you mean by this?"

Just yesterday, she was ridiculed and insulted by a classmate, and she had almost emptied her savings to pay the bill, deciding in her heart that she needed to find a way to get money from Yun Kai to replenish her funds.

But now that Yun Kai was asking for money, there was no way she could dig into her own pocket again!

Yun Kai's eyes reddened with panic and looked as if she was about to cry.

She turned to Yao Yanyan, asking with pitiful eyes, "Yanyan, should I not ask Xixi for the money? After all, Xixi's family isn't well-off. Maybe, I should just give her the money to spend, and not ask her to repay the loans, because she's poor..."

Yao Yanyan blurted out in surprise, "Ah."

This... Yun Kai had just given her a chance to audition. Now that Yun Kai was short on cash, and Liu Xixi had borrowed money from her, Liu Xixi should pay it back.

It's only right to repay a debt.

With a serious expression, she stated earnestly, "That definitely won't do. Even the best of friends, the closest of brothers should keep clear accounts. Even if Xixi is poor, she can't just default on her debts..."

Liu Xixi's pride was deeply wounded. She glared at Yao Yanyan, "I may be poor, but I'm still richer than you!"

Yao Yanyan's face darkened with displeasure, "You're not poor, you're richer than me, so why don't you repay Yun Kai then?"

Liu Xixi choked, then shouted, "I'm just a little tight on money recently, but I will definitely pay it back."

Yun Kai sat calmly, silently watching the two, her innocent eyes looking like those of a bystander. Seeing them argue, she even tried to mediate, "Don't fight, you guys. This is a small matter. Just write an IOU and it'll be fine."

Yao Yanyan immediately chimed in, "Right, write an IOU."

Liu Xixi shot Yao Yanyan a glare, then turned to Yun Kai, asking with injured pride, "Yun Kai, you are my best friend. Do you really think our friendship requires an IOU?"

If Yun Kai had heard this before, she would have surely said there's no need to write one.

That's what Liu Xixi wanted, of course.

But now...

Yun Kai frowned, looking distressed, "Xixi, of course I trust you. Our friendship isn't about money. Because I believe in you and for the sake of your integrity, you should indeed write me an IOU."

Yao Yanyan let out a cold laugh, mocking, "She's scared to write it."

Liu Xixi trembled with anger, yet was powerless to retort.

With no other option, she pulled out a notebook and began writing the IOU.
