Xu Senni was sitting on the sofa, her eyes were reddened and her face was still wet with tears as she sobbed. She raised her head to look at Hu Yinli, opened her mouth before closing it again, then dropped her head, feeling choked up.
Hu Yinli picked up the lighter on the table and lit a cigarette, taking a deep breath before spitting out the smoke, his brows locked in a frown. He also felt very suffocated in his heart.
The other has been crying and wailing since she came back, all her energy focused on crying. He had to ask for a long time before she falteringly mumbled out that she made a loss on her gallery business. But as to what the general situation was, she wouldn’t say at all.
With his chin slightly lowered and eyes closed, Hu Yinli suddenly spoke, "This money isn’t a small amount, be honest and speak clearer, what exactly happened?"
Xu Senni tightly gripped her skirt, causing the tiny flowers to become wrinkled together. In her eyes were a few degrees of hatred, which she lowered her eyes to cover up. She swallowed to wet her throat and squeezed out a sentence, "From now on, I’m not going to do business again. In the future, I’ll just stay at home..."
"I didn't ask you this, I asked you why you had a loss." Hu Yinli snuffed out the cigarette.
He was getting more and more impatient. This kind of thing had nothing to do with the money. Although the amount isn’t small, the loss did not reach the point of causing him to feel pained. But Xu Senni's semi-concealing attitude really drew Hu Yinli’s suspicion.
One simply shouldn’t just foolishly assume the role of being someone with more money than sense.
Xu Senni tightened her chin and looked at Hu Yinli with a taunt in her eyes.
Hu Yinli frown grew deeper, the anger that he was suppressing erupted in a flash. He lit another cigarette, tossed the lighter on the table, and stood up - looking down condescendingly.
"You feel offended?" He suddenly sneered, "For so long, all the clothes and shoes you’ve bought, which had not been the best, have I ever said anything? Is it asking too much of you for you to clearly explain this time’s matter?"
Xu Sunni lowered her head and didn't say a word. After staring at the floor for a while, she said in a rather peculiar tone, "This amount isn’t considered small, but if it’s twice as much, will it really be not much at all?"
Hu Yinli's gaze instantly sharpened.
Cen Simiao checked the money in her account, then narrowed her eyes, picking up her cell phone to look at the words she had sent to reject Hu Yinli about sending money over.
She suddenly felt a bit of pain in her heart.
This text message was from two months ago. Now she was just a penniless good-for-nothing, just barely eking by. All of the money she earned before have been invested into the reality-variety show to let Wu Lichen be one of the main guests.
Right now, even 80% of his savings was greater than hers.
Cen Simiao went and fell onto the sofa, counting her fingers. It’s already been so many days, how can Xu Senni still hold it in and not say anything? These past few days, she had already turned her cell phone’s volume to the maximum, precisely afraid that she might miss it when Hu Yinli finally calls.
During this period, with the other’s messages, Cen Simiao had been either too lazy to pay attention to them or simply replied with some "En, okay, I know."
It was already really obvious that she wanted to have a failing out.
