The next day.
After arriving at the auction house, Qiao Yin immediately asked Lu Yanxi, "What did he say when you transferred the money to him yesterday?"
"Not much. He just complained about me making decisions independently again. But then he thanked me. He said I had done him a great favor, and he would take me out for a meal sometime."
"Did he mention when he would pay back the money?"
"He wanted to return the money immediately, but I firmly refused. So he said he'd pay me back in a few days. I told him not to rush, he can use it for now."
Qiao Yin let out a sigh of relief, feeling she might have overthought things yesterday.
She must have just been fooled by too many unscrupulous people recently, which led her into always deeply mistrusting others' intentions.
