Chapter 13 Borrowing Money
Lin Yue politely declined, "Thank you, no need, my home is quite far away, I'll just take a taxi back." She stood up and walked to the side of the road to hail a cab.
"It's so late, and you live in a remote area. It's not safe for a girl to take a taxi." Zheng Yuhao said without hesitation, pulling her towards his car, "I'll drive you instead." Afraid that she might misunderstand, he quickly added, "We're colleagues, no need to be too formal."
"After some thought, Lin Yue'er agreed, 'Alright then, thank you.'"
Zheng Yuhao was also kind-hearted, and refusing again would have been too pretentious.
Zheng Yuhao felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and after she got into the car, he took out drinks and snacks. "You must be hungry, eat something first."
She shook her head, "I'm not hungry."
Because of her younger brother's matter, she was preoccupied with thinking about where to raise over 2 million, and didn't have the mood to eat anything.
As her uncle said, she grew up in her uncle's home. At that time, under those circumstances, relatives avoided her one by one. It was already a great kindness to take her in and not let her go to the orphanage. No matter how they treated her, she was grateful.
Seeing her preoccupied look, Zheng Yuhao tactfully didn't disturb her and after asking for the address, he drove all the way to send her to the entrance of XX community.
"Is this it?" He poked his head in, and seeing the darkness inside, he said with some concern, "It's so dark, I'll see you in instead."
"No need to trouble you anymore, I can handle it myself." She pushed open the door and got out of the car, waving her hand at Zheng Yuhao, "Thanks for sending me."
Zheng Yuhao smiled at her, revealing his handsome teeth. "Don't always say thank you, we are colleagues after all." He paused for a moment, then plucked up the courage to ask, "Can I call you Xiao Yue like your friends do?"
Lin Yue'er nodded without hesitation, "Mm."
Too good!
Zheng Yuhao looked excited and said, "You don't have to be too polite, just call me Yuhao!"
Lin Yue'er just smiled and said, "Let's go back early, it's late."
"Hmm!" Zheng Yuhao was in a good mood, and the fact that he had been enslaved in the afternoon had long been thrown to the back of his mind.
All the way back, triumphant songs were sung.
Lin Yue'er watched as his car drove away, then turned and walked towards the XX neighborhood on the other side. She arrived at the foot of Pan Mountain and saw a row of bright streetlights. With her head down, she continued walking up, still thinking about the two million yuan matter.
She didn't have many rich friends around her, Yang Liu and Zhang Jiajia were both moonlight families, borrowing money from them could only get a month's salary in advance, which couldn't solve the urgent need. After thinking about it, apart from Gu Wangchuan, she really had no one else to borrow from.
But Gu Wang Chuan...
Thinking of his own wicked behavior, Lin Yueer resolutely dispelled this idea.
Unexpectedly, when she returned to the Gu's house, she actually saw Gu Wangchuan's car at the gate.
It's so early for him to be back home, it doesn't seem like his style.
As she entered the living room, Hua Yi, who had been waiting by the door, came forward to greet her, "Young mistress, why are you back so late? I've been trying to call your cell phone but it's been unreachable. Nothing happened, did it?"
Lin Yue'er took out her mobile phone and looked at it apologetically, saying, "My phone is out of battery."
"It's all right as long as nothing is wrong, have you eaten?"
Lin Yue'er shook her head, and Hua Yi hastily ordered someone to reheat dinner and put it back on the table.
She sat in the dining room after washing her hands.
At this time, footsteps came from the stairs, and Gu Wangchuan walked down.
