After washing the cars, the four of them, like before, got into Chen Yuan’s car and went to a restaurant for dinner.
This time, the restaurant was not the expensive type they had been to before, but a more street-side, food-stall type, where they could eat either inside or outside.
Lu Yanxi simply chose to sit outside.
She ordered a boatload of skewers. Surprisingly, the restaurant was very efficient and served them a big plate of them within a short span of time.
They ate and chatted, the atmosphere much better than before.
From their conversation, Qiao Yin learned that Chen Yuan and Chen Yue were from the same village, where everyone had the surname Chen and were more or less related.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Yuan specially thanked Lu Yanxi for lending him money. His mother’s condition had improved significantly, and there was now great hope for her recovery.
Lu Yanxi was glad for him. Although she was a little puzzled why Chen Yuan didn’t take his mother to Qiao Yin’s grandmother for treatment as she had suggested, she thought that since his mother’s condition had already improved, they should just continue with the current treatment by the existing doctor.
At the end of the meal, Chen Yuan’s friend moved close to Lu Yanxi and whispered, “Yan Xi, actually Chen Yuan has spent all his money, but his mother’s condition is almost cured. Could you help him out again? One million should be enough.”
Lu Yanxi glanced at Chen Yuan, who was paying the bill, and hesitated, “I really want to help him, but the last time I gave him money, he scolded me. I’m afraid if I give him more money this time, he will get angry.”
“Oh, he’s just too proud and doesn’t want to lose face in front of you. He comes from a poor family and has an inferiority complex around you. He doesn’t want your money. But you can rest assured, he’s not really angry. He’s actually grateful to you and he’s been praising you these past few days. He really likes you.”
“Really?”
Lu Yanxi’s heart leapt, “Does he really like me?”
“Really, I have never seen him treat any girl this well. Now is his most difficult time. If you help him through this, you will certainly become the most important person in his life. If you are really afraid he won’t accept your help, you can transfer the money to me, and I will give it to him.”
Lu Yanxi nodded, “That seems like a good idea, I’ll transfer the money to you then!”
Qiao Yin was standing behind them. Even though they were whispering, she could still catch the gist of their conversation.
Borrowing money again?
And it was still Chen Yuan’s friend borrowing on his behalf, while Chen Yuan seemed completely unaware.
After settling the bill, Chen Yuan drove them back to the auction house, for their cars were parked there at their company.
After they left, Qiao Yin couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Xi, you’re not really considering lending him another million, are you?”
“Second Sister-in-law, did you hear everything?”
There was a troubled look on the usually bright and cheerful face of Lu Yanxi, “Ah, Chen Yuan’s family is really in a dire situation right now, but he refuses to ask me for help, even when he knows I can help. He is being too proud.”
“He didn’t ask, but his friend did. Maybe he does know?”
Lu Yanxi shook her head, “Second Sister-in-law, you don’t know him. He’s not like that. He’s the kindest and gentlest person I’ve ever met. He definitely doesn’t know that his friend is borrowing money on his behalf. If he did, he wouldn’t allow it.”
Qiao Yin indeed did not know Chen Yuan very well. However, this pattern of borrowing money over and over again gave her a bad feeling.
“Yan Xi, if his mother indeed has a serious illness, I think he can consider crowdfunding. He can’t always rely solely on you. You have already lent him eight hundred thousand, which is already very generous..”
