Chapter 34 A Woman Greedy for Money

Ji Xiaonuan originally planned to offer a 10% discount, but then she thought that with a 10% discount, she would still have to pay an extra 10,000 yuan out of her own pocket, which was not a small amount.

So she changed her words on the spot and offered a 1% discount instead.

With a 1% discount, although she still had to pay an extra 1,000 yuan, the 1,000 yuan she received for participating in the preliminary surrogacy selection had just been credited to her account a few days ago.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes. As expected, capitalists were like vampires. They were taking back the 1,000 yuan that was rightfully hers.

"Forget it. I'll buy it at the original price," Zhao Jiaying sneered, and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes as she looked at Ji Xiaonuan.

She had overestimated Ji Xiaonuan. She was just a woman who was greedy for money. Besides, how much could a set of clothes and a pair of shoes cost? As Chi Jun'an's secretary, she could afford this amount of money!

But when Ji Xiaonuan brought the clothes and shoes out of the dormitory for her, Zhao Jiaying immediately regretted it.

Before, she had only heard about it and didn't know that Chi Jun'an had actually bought such expensive things for Ji Xiaonuan!

"It's a total of 97,000 yuan. I'll forget about the change," Ji Xiaonuan said. Anyway, she didn't know the exact amount of the change.

"Is this the genuine product?" Zhao Jiaying felt extremely regretful. She had originally thought that at most, it would cost one or two thousand yuan, but it turned out to be nearly 100,000 yuan!

"Chi Jun'an took me to buy these," Ji Xiaonuan said blankly. "Do you think he would buy counterfeits?"

Of course, Chi Jun'an wouldn't buy counterfeits. Zhao Jiaying really felt the pain in her wallet. 100,000 yuan was also a significant amount of money for her.

She said hesitantly, "I don't have that much money with me today..."

"It doesn't matter. You can just transfer the money to me via Alipay," Ji Xiaonuan took out her phone and showed the payment interface. She said considerately, "Do you need the Wi-Fi password of our dormitory building?"

The corner of Zhao Jiaying's mouth twitched. She finally understood what it meant to be in a difficult situation.

Seeing that she didn't transfer the money for a long time, Ji Xiaonuan looked at her suspiciously. "You're not short of money, are you..."

"How could that be?! Of course, I have the money!" Zhao Jiaying shrieked. "It's just that my money is all in financial management products, and it takes time to withdraw it. I'll transfer it to you now."

It had been so hard for her to make Ji Xiaonuan misunderstand. If Ji Xiaonuan had any doubts, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain?

When the money arrived in her account, Ji Xiaonuan looked at the string of numbers on her phone and felt a bit unreal. Now, she could finally draw a line with Chi Jun'an.

Zhao Jiaying took the clothes and shoes, didn't say much to her, and drove away with a dark face.

Ji Xiaonuan walked back to the dormitory in a daze. Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was Chi Jun'an calling. Ji Xiaonuan felt a complex mix of emotions.

She hesitated for a while and finally pressed the answer button.

"Xiaoxi, are you back at school?" Chi Jun'an asked in a low voice.

"Yeah. Is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing. I just didn't receive a call from you to let me know you were safe, so I was a bit worried. It's good that you're back safely."

Listening to his deep voice, Ji Xiaonuan felt even more confused.

Chi Jun'an could act so realistically, but why did he treat her like an object to be chosen at will?!

"Is this your personal phone number?" Ji Xiaonuan suddenly asked.

"Yes," Chi Jun'an's voice softened a bit. "You can call me anytime in the future."

Ji Xiaonuan lowered her eyes. "You should rest early."

As soon as she hung up the phone, it rang again.

It was Ling Yifeng calling. Ji Xiaonuan was taken aback and pressed the answer button.

"Xiaoxi, didn't you say before that your classmate had some clothes to sell?" Ling Yifeng asked. "Sorry, Senior," Ji Xiaonuan said somewhat sheepishly. "She has already sold them. But still, thank you for your help."

"Already sold? That's great," Ling Yifeng continued. "By the way, our tutor is taking a few of us to Province M for a field trip tomorrow. It's called a field trip, but it's actually a trip. Do you want to come with us, Xiaoxi?"

"Can I go too?" Ji Xiaonuan's eyes lit up.

"Of course, you can," Ling Yifeng said. "The tutor has already reserved the spots. Unfortunately, one of our classmates can't go because of something. We all think it's a pity to waste this spot. Why don't you come with us?"

"Can I really go with you?" Ji Xiaonuan asked tentatively. "Won't the others have any objections..."

"Don't worry. They won't. I told them you're my sister," he said. "It's just a three-day trip. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you should have time, right?"

"Yeah! Senior, I'll come to find you tomorrow morning!" Ji Xiaonuan felt relieved. She really wanted to go out and have a walk.

Maybe going out for a few days would allow her to avoid Chi Jun'an's harassing tests. He was a smart person and would surely understand what she meant.

Early the next morning, Ji Xiaonuan packed her luggage and came to the school gate.

Ling Yifeng's car stopped in front of her. He got out of the car and took Ji Xiaonuan's luggage. Ji Xiaonuan looked at his car suspiciously and asked blankly, "Senior, why is it just the two of us?"

"They're taking the bus," Ling Yifeng explained. "I didn't want to squeeze on the bus with them, so I drove my own car. Let's go."

Ji Xiaonuan got into the car.

As the car started, she took out her phone and transferred the 97,000 yuan in her account to Chi Jun'an's Alipay account. Then, she found Chi Jun'an's number and added it to the blacklist.

She didn't transfer the money yesterday because she was afraid that if she did, Chi Jun'an would come to find her directly.

Now that she had transferred the money and was going on a field trip, even if Chi Jun'an wanted to find her, he wouldn't be able to.

After thinking for a while, Ji Xiaonuan sent a text message to her two roommates, telling them that she was going out to play for a few days and asking them not to worry.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yifeng asked.

"I'm reporting my itinerary to my roommates," Ji Xiaonuan pressed the power-off button. "I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot to tell them."

Ling Yifeng looked at her in surprise. "Why did you turn off your phone?"

"They're too chatty and will definitely ask a lot of questions," Ji Xiaonuan smiled.

Ling Yifeng couldn't help but frown.

He knew that Ji Xiaonuan had a good relationship with her two roommates. But she was going on a field trip with him and didn't tell them? Ling Yifeng always felt that Ji Xiaonuan seemed to have something on her mind, and it was something she didn't want to tell him.

As soon as Chi Jun'an arrived at the office, he suddenly heard his phone beep.

Zhao Jiaying poured a cup of hot water for Chi Jun'an and couldn't help but persuade him, "President, you're not fully recovered yet. Why don't you take another day off?"

Chi Jun'an opened his phone, and his face darkened immediately.

Why did Ji Xiaonuan transfer money to him? This amount... was exactly the price of the clothes and shoes he had bought for her!

"Get out!" Chi Jun'an said in a deep voice.
