"Zhou Xiaoshu, I still have something to do, I'm heading back first."
Liu Ying stood up abruptly and turned to leave.
Zhou Xiaoshu hurriedly got up to follow, grabbing Liu Ying's arm as she pleaded, "Liu Ying, don't go, I..."
Tears almost fell from Liu Ying's eyes as she stammered, "Zhou Xiaoshu, I really don't have any money. You know my family's situation is just average, it's already not easy for them to afford my education. There's no point in tricking me."
Zhou Xiaoshu's face flushed with urgency as she said, "What are you thinking? Why would I trick you? I'm asking for your help."
Liu Ying shook her head repeatedly, close to tears, and said, "No, no, I can't help with this. Please leave me be, after all, we were classmates."
At this point, Su Weifeng's face also darkened, realizing that his phone call had caused Liu Ying to mistake him for a scammer.
With a light cough, he said, "I'm really sorry, I scared you. Xiaoshu, why don't you take Liu Ying back then?"
