Xinyou Qiao was disappointed. Venus Mu showing up every day and such a good plan she came up
with ended up doing nothing but making her suffer a little. Thinking of this, she was furious.
Why was it so hard to kick Venus out of here?
But she would never give up and she believed that she would always be the winner.
Xinyou thought for a while and she finally thought of someone—Venus’s ex, Zihang Lu.
How could she get in touch with Zihang?
She suddenly remembered that once when she was in college, Venus had borrowed her phone and
called Zihang, who was still her boyfriend at the time. Thinking of this, she quickly opened her address
book and found a phone number.
She dialed it and to her surprise, it was connected. A deep and calm voice came.
“Hello?”
Xinyou cleared her throat and answered in a soft tone, “Hello, is this Mr. Zihang Lu?”
Zihang apparently didn’t recognize her and asked, “May I know your name?”
Xinyou sips the black tea and said gently, “I’m Xinyou, a classmate of Venus. We’ve met before, but
now there’s something for you. Is it convenient for you to have a talk?”
Zihang frowned, as if he was contemplating, and asked, “What exactly is the thing? Can’t we talk over
the phone?”
“It’s not very convenient on the phone. Can we meet, please?” Xinyou casually made up a lie and
asked in a somewhat impatient tone.
Zihang thought for a while and finally agreed, “Okay, where?”
“Grey Sparrow Café. I’m wearing a pair of black sunglasses.”
“OK.”
Grey Sparrow Café
Pushing the door and going into the room, with the pleasant melody and the rich aroma of coffee
coming to his face, Zihang looked around and found Xinyou was sitting on the east side.
She was a fashionable woman, wearing a pair of sunglasses which was quite expensive. The two had
met before, but she didn’t leave him a deep impression.
Zihang stepped forward to sit beside her and the woman suddenly took off her glasses and glanced at
him. Eventually she smiled and said, “Mr. Zihang, please sit down.”
Xinyou ordered two cups of coffee, asking with hypocrisy, “My name is Xinyou Qiao, Venus’s
classmate.”
Zihang nodded and asked, “What did you ask me out for?”
Xinyou took a sip of his coffee and said unhurriedly, “I need your help.”
“What?”
“Of course it’s a good thing.” Xinyou replied with a bright smile.
After saying that, she pulled out a paper bag from her bag, which was bulging. It looked like there was
a lot of stuff inside and she slowly pushed the paper bag in front of Zihang and said, “Here is fifty
thousand dollars.”
Zihang looked stunned and it was indeed cash.
“Why are you giving me money?” Zihang looked cautious and asked in a cold voice.
There was no free meal. She naturally had her goal. Though he didn’t know it’s a good thing or not, he
needed to be careful.
Xinyou saw his nervousness, but she was still relaxed and said, “Don’t be nervous. I just want a
cooperation.”
Zihang seemed to understand her and asked lightly, “How?”
“You just have to do one thing for me.”
“What?”
Xinyou shook her head softly and said, “I haven’t thought about it yet. You’ll know it later. You just need
to take the money.”
Zihang didn’t move, for he didn’t know what Xinyou was thinking, so he said, “Since Miss Qiao is so
insincere, I can’t work with you.”
