Love Apartment: Lying down makes me happy

Chapter 232 Xiaoli's Second Visit

"Oh, of course I know Jian Ning, so I just wished her well!"

Zhang Wei was somewhat devastated. After all, he was very happy now and there was no need for him to worry about a vague and unattainable Xiao Li. His current depression was only because of the check that Xiao Li had given him!

He, Snake, would never stoop to such a paltry seven figures. What a joke!

Well... you're really good at judging people...

But then again, we're people who have pride too. We can't just take what others offer us, can we?

To be honest, if you really feel guilty, it would be best if you didn't show up in front of me!

Zhang Wei then recounted the events of the previous night.

Especially that check...

"If you take it, I'll despise you!"

Hu Yifei suddenly became agitated, fearing that Zhang Wei would succumb to temptation and accept the check.

Chen Xiaobai, however, thought differently. He leaned closer to Zhang Wei and said, "Actually, you can totally accept this check. She thinks that her elopement hurt you and wants to apologize and make amends. This amount of money is just a drop in the ocean for her, but it can buy her peace of mind!"

"If you don't want it, you'll probably never have a peaceful day again..."

Then Chen Xiaobai looked meaningfully at Hu Yifei: "And who knows, maybe one day when you're not around, someone will take it upon themselves to agree to some strange requests!"

"But... I'd feel at ease taking this money...but..."

Zhang Wei ignored the last part of the sentence and continued talking to himself, "My heart is uneasy. I probably won't be able to sleep at night, as if I'm bothering her for that money..."

"Then let her go straight to the orphanage!"

Chen Xiaobai gave him an idea: "Since she's uneasy about not giving you money, and you're uneasy about taking the money, why don't you give the money to the dean and have him buy some practice questions and test papers for the children so they can study properly!"

"You know what, you really have to believe it, Xiaobai, your idea is great!"

Hu Yifei nodded in agreement.

Lu Ziqiao leaned closer and said with a forced smile, "If you don't want it, I can give it to you. I don't mind..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ziqiao was chased away by the crowd to play elsewhere...

Hu Yifei glared at Lu Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian, annoyed: "Zhang Wei has completely moved on from Xiao Li's shadow now. You two are just waiting to lose; you have no chance of winning!"

"Ha, this is just the beginning, and it's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious!"

Zeng Xiaoxian retorted defiantly.

Zhang Wei, however, was getting a headache from their back-and-forth arguing. "Can you please stop using me as a bet? Is this really fun?"

Hu Yifei didn't expect his reaction to be so strong, and tentatively asked, "How about... you place a bet too?"

"Um... what are the odds?" Zhang Wei asked, frowning.

Hu Yifei: ......

While they were discussing the odds, Chen Xiaobai was pulled away by Zeng Xiaoxian and Lu Ziqiao.

Lu Ziqiao asked in a low voice, "How's it going? When will Du Jun finish the painting? I heard Guan Gu is coming back soon!"

"Yeah, he went to some comic book party last night, but I heard he'll be back tonight. If he doesn't draw well, we're doomed!"

Zeng Xiaoxian also looked worried; who knew how skilled Guan Gu's senior brother was?

Although I've heard that my skills are on par with Guan Gu's, that's just hearsay. What if Guan Gu sees through my disguise...?

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Judging by the time, the package should arrive soon!"

Chen Xiaobai raised his hand and glanced at his watch.

Lu Ziqiao suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, you changed your watch! Where's the old one?"

"The old one? Of course it's...at home!"

Chen Xiaobai held out his hand to show them his new watch, then pulled them away, saying, "Come on, let's go get the painting!"

......

3602.

Suddenly, a head poked its head in through the door. After looking around to make sure no one was there, it breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door: "Come in, Guan Gu isn't here!"

"Ziqiao, you're being too nervous. It's not that serious. Guan Gu is your aunt's husband, he won't do anything to you!"

Chen Xiaobai pushed Lu Ziqiao aside and teased him as he walked inside.

"Why are you touching him? It's precisely because he's my aunt's boyfriend that I have to be extra careful!"

Lu Ziqiao replied irritably, then began to explain: "I'm not afraid that Guan Gu will make a move, I'm afraid that Youyou will. She won't hold back and might really kill you!"

"Stop talking about that, look at the painting!"

Zeng Xiaoxian urged the two on, "I didn't expect this senior brother to live up to his reputation. Guan Gu took three days to finish drawing, but he finished it in one day, and even included free shipping!"

"I told him that Guan Gu took a day and a half, and he couldn't possibly be worse than Guan Gu, could he? He immediately said he would let me get it in one day!"

Chen Xiaobai smiled smugly. This time, everything was foolproof. He had specifically instructed Du Jun not to color or sign anything, only to sketch. He promised a full refund if Du Jun was not satisfied!

Unfold the painting, and sure enough... it's exactly the same!

After carefully examining the painting, Lu Ziqiao and Zeng Xiaoxian nodded in approval.

"Not bad!"

Chen Xiaobai clicked his tongue twice, not holding back his praise!

Zeng Xiaoxian grabbed the painting and headed straight for Guan Gu's room: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and hang it up!"

"They're here, they're here~~~"

Chen Xiaobai and Lu Ziqiao quickly followed.

After a series of actions, the group successfully replaced Guan Gu's painting, putting their minds at ease!

This time, however, Guan Gu's snail fairy is nowhere to be found, and he will never have another chance to find her!

Next door, Zhang Wei was reading on the sofa when an uninvited guest suddenly barged in.

That's right, it's Xiaoli again!

Zhang Wei was getting impatient. He had thought about Chen Xiaobai's suggestion and decided it was best to draw a clear line with her. He absolutely could not accept this money!

Otherwise, no matter what he uses it for, there will always be a thorn in his side!

"Why are you here again? I've already told you I don't want your money, you don't owe me anything!!!"

Zhang Wei's tone was somewhat agitated; his agitation prevented him from calming down.

"I know men care about their pride, so giving money isn't appropriate!"

Xiaoli seemed to have seen through Zhang Wei all along.

"Click~"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. The two looked to the side and saw that Hu Yifei was eating potato chips.

Seeing that the two were staring at her, Hu Yifei shrugged and walked away, saying, "I'll leave."

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Li, "No need for a card!"

"I know your career has been going poorly, so I'm trying to figure out how I can help you!"

Xiaoli's tone revealed sincerity.

However, Zhang Wei remained unmoved, and instead became even more impatient: "I'm fine, and I'm almost ready to get my lawyer's license... as long as I pass all the exams!"

"I know you perfectly well; you've been taking the exam for three years already!"

Xiaoli continued to follow behind Zhang Wei, speaking earnestly.

"this......"

Zhang Wei awkwardly tried to say something, but Xiao Li leaned down and stared intently at Zhang Wei, who was already sitting on the sofa. "My dad's company needs a legal specialist. If you agree, he doesn't need a legal license!"
