Delayed confession

Xu Weixi saw Fang Yuan's embarrassed expression and was stunned for a moment, thinking that something had happened, and asked nervously,

"What is it?"

Fang Yuan felt it was a bit difficult to ask the child for money. He turned his head to look at Xu Guochang and found that he was looking at him. He spoke with difficulty,

"Can you lend me some money?"

Xu Weixi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and said indifferently,

"There's no need to talk about borrowing between us. I'll just give you whatever you want."

Fang Yuan rubbed his hands on the cup, "It's not a small amount, 10 yuan."

Xu Weixi was stunned for a moment, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing, it's just that your brother is going to high school soon. I heard that Xiqiao No. 1 High School not only requires academic performance, but also requires a house and a local hukou."

Hearing Fang Yuan talking about this, Xu Weixi immediately smiled, "Oh, I heard about this too."

Seeing that Xu Weixi was still smiling when she said this, Xu Guochang immediately continued Fang Yuan's words and said, "We have chosen a second-hand house in Yunshang Xinyuan. It is on the sixth floor and has an area of ​​68 square meters. It is very good. We have already paid the deposit."

Xu Weixi's hand that was reaching for the orange stopped in mid-air, the smile on his face faded, and he asked tentatively, "68 square meters... a two-bedroom apartment?"

Xu Guochang had a proud expression on his face and said the words he had prepared for a long time, "Well, including the renovation, transfer and some other miscellaneous things, the shortfall is only 10 yuan."

"...Where do I live?"

When Fang Yuan heard Xu Weixi's question, he quickly raised his head and explained, "A two-bedroom apartment is also fine. Don't we have a two-bedroom apartment now?"

Seeing Fang Yuan's reaction, Xu Weixi thought that he didn't have enough money, so he asked with a fluke, "Have you ever thought about buying a three-bedroom apartment?"

Xu Guochang thought she didn't want to borrow money, so he deliberately asked her questions and shook his head impatiently.

“I don’t even have enough money for a two-bedroom apartment, how can I buy a three-bedroom apartment?”

"What if there's enough money?"

"Then I won't buy it. What a waste."

Xu Weixi lowered his eyelashes and murmured, "Waste?"

"You will not be living with your elder brother next year. The dormitory at your company will be vacated slowly...you won't be able to stay at home for many days." Xu Guochang said seriously.

Xu Weixi raised her head and held back her tears, suddenly realizing how ridiculous her previous behavior was.

She stood up from the sofa and stood opposite Xu Guochang.

"Okay, I want to borrow 10 yuan, right? When will I pay it back?"

Although Fang Yuan didn't understand why Xu Weixi's expression suddenly changed, seeing this familiar posture, he immediately stood up and separated the two.

"Wait until your dad makes some money next year."

Xu Weixi didn't look at Fang Yuan, but said expressionlessly,

"What's the exact time?"

Xu Guochang looked at Xu Weixi's performance and felt that his authority was challenged again. Out of self-esteem, he said stubbornly, "I will definitely return the money to you by the end of next year."

Xu Weixi didn't say anything, went back to the room, took out a notebook and a bank card, and opened the notebook.

"Okay, write me an IOU."

Xu Guochang was immediately furious when he saw this, and asked sternly, "You want me to write an IOU? Don't you forget whose money you have spent since you were a child?"

Xu Weixi was not frightened, and looked at the person opposite with cold eyes, "How about we calculate it?"

"It's okay. I'll write it."

Fang Yuan took a pen from the coffee table and prepared to write, but was stopped by Xu Weixi.

“You don’t have the ability to repay, so you can’t write.”

Three minutes later, Xu Weixi took the IOU, told them the bank card password, and went back to the house.

She sat on the bed and looked at the IOU in her hand. The tears she had been holding back finally burst out. Tears slid down her cheeks, falling drop by drop onto the paper, blurring the words on the paper.

Today, the two of them booked a 134-square-meter house, and the down payment required was more than 25 yuan. Xu Weixi originally had 30 yuan in savings, but now the money is not enough.

The next day, at the ramen restaurant,

"Xibao, what's wrong with you?" Joey was still struggling with how to explain to his best friend that he couldn't buy a house with her. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he found Xu Weixi, who had just sat down, with eyes so swollen that even his glasses couldn't cover them.

"I'm fine. You said on WeChat yesterday that you had something to discuss with me." Xu Weixi wanted to laugh, but she really couldn't laugh now. She put her bag on the table and asked softly,

"What is it?"

Qiao Yi knew that he couldn't get any information out of Xu Weixi if she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

She thought for a moment and said apologetically, "I may not be able to buy a house. Those bastards at home are making trouble again."

Joey was still thinking about whether she should go to the sales office and find a nicer person to give the coupon to. After all, in order to be neighbors, they chose the same floor of the same building.

Xu Weixi nodded, indicating that it didn't matter, after all, he didn't want to buy it.

Qiao Yi knew that Xu Weixi bought the house for his brother to go to Xiqiao No. 1 Middle School, so he asked in surprise,

"what happened to you?"

Xu Weixi blew the noodles slowly and said pretending not to care.

"My family is planning to buy a house in Yunshang Xinyuan."

Joey nodded, but felt a little strange, "Didn't you discuss this in advance?"

"They planned to buy a two-bedroom apartment. They didn't have enough money, so I borrowed $10, and then, I didn't have enough."

When Joey heard it was a matter of money, he immediately said, "I have 10 yuan, take it first."

Xu Weixi pushed the card back, "If I only buy one house, I can only get a 10% discount, which is not cost-effective. Besides, I am not in the mood to buy."

Although Xu Weixi did not explain, Qiao Yi already felt that her swollen eyes were related to her family, so he changed the subject.

"Can we get our deposit back?"

"It seems impossible. Let's go and try."

After finishing their meal, the two of them took a taxi directly to the sales office of Yuyue Mansion.

Li Guo looked at the two beauties in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"The deposit is non-refundable, but I'd like to ask why. After all, this discount is very small for the entire project."

Joey glanced at his friend who was wandering around in his thoughts and said, "We don't want to buy it anymore. There's no other reason."

Li Guo was the sales manager after all. Seeing the way Xu Weixi was looking at the property, he asked cleverly,

"You don't want to buy it anymore?"

Qiao Yi also noticed Xu Weixi's hesitation at this time, and said with a roll of his eyes, "I won't buy it, but doesn't the coupon only give a 15% discount for two houses?"

Li Guo was feeling a little regretful yesterday because his plan to show his affection was disrupted by this girl who suddenly showed up. But now that the opportunity that had been lost has come back, he was immediately overjoyed.

"I see. Wait a moment."

ten minutes later,

"This is my friend. He also wants to buy a house, but the maximum discount I can give is 90%. If you don't want to buy it, why don't you give it to my friend?"

When Joey saw the man Li Guo brought over, he suddenly wanted to shout, "It's fate!"
