Qi Xinrou wasn't foolish. Faced with choosing between those clothes, the necklace, and the hundred thousand yuan, she resolutely picked the latter. Before knowing the specifics of the situation, she couldn't yet give up on Baili Chengye. What if this was all just a test from him?
Determined, Qi Xinrou held back her heartache and regret as she spoke, "Chengye, I really need to take that money back to my mom... sob sob sob, am I useless? I know this is when you need help, but I just can't help you. It's not my fault I have such bad luck, and it's not like I wanted to have that kind of mom. No matter how bad she is, she gave birth to me and raised me..."
She gritted her teeth and steeled her heart to say, "Chengye, many of my pieces of jewelry are still quite new. If you really need it, why don't we pawn them for now? I've kept almost all the receipts, what do you think about that?"
