Love Apartment: Lying down makes me happy

As expected, Lu Ziqiao missed his target and walked dejectedly towards the bar.

However, things turned out unexpectedly; Chen Xiaobai was at a bar at that moment!

I was drinking and chatting with Hu Yifei, and Lin Qingqing was also there; she was drinking hot milk.

"Hey Ziqiao, you look a bit down!"

As soon as Lu Ziqiao entered, Chen Xiaobai saw him and gave him a special greeting.

Of course he knew why Lu Ziqiao was having such a bad time!

Lu Ziqiao looked up and was instantly overjoyed. He quickly ran to Chen Xiaobai's side and asked anxiously, "Xiaobai, where's that check?"

What kind of check?

Chen Xiaobai, wanting to tease him on purpose, asked in feigned confusion.

"It's that million-dollar check my dad wrote!"

"Oh, I remember that. What's wrong?"

"It...it really is one million!"

After some hesitation, Lu Ziqiao decided to be honest with Chen Xiaobai. First, he didn't want to lie to his friend, and second, Chen Xiaobai was rich and didn't need his paltry sums.

He wasn't wrong; Chen Xiaobai indeed didn't lack it, but Chen Xiaobai wasn't willing to give it to him so easily. "Oh, it's true? Oh!"

"oh!?"

Lu Ziqiao was a little confused by his "oh," "What do you mean?"

"It means I understand!" Chen Xiaobai calmly took a sip of his drink and said casually.

Lin Qingqing knew he was very rich and didn't care about this at all. She was just teasing Zi Qiao. She glanced at him but didn't say anything. She sat obediently at the bar and drank her milk.

She got a severe beating recently and learned her lesson!

Ever since "A Plum Blossom" was mentioned, she has been subjected to family discipline every day, and she wished her mother's eldest sister would come to see her every day.

Hu Yifei was much more excited and immediately ran over, asking in surprise, "What? One million? Whose one million?!"

"Mine!" x2

Lu Ziqiao and Chen Xiaobai said in unison.

Lu Ziqiao stared at him in astonishment, "What? Xiaobai, you're so rich, why would you even look at someone as pitiful as me?"

"What do you know!"

Chen Xiaobai glanced at him and said, "Being rich doesn't mean you're stupid. Why not take money that's been handed to you for free!"

"I......"

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Yifei interrupted him, "Don't interrupt, tell me what you mean by one million, I'll give you some advice!"

Chen Xiaobai then turned around and explained to her in detail the origin of the one million.

......

"So, it's like Lu Ziqiao spending one million to buy a DV camera?"

Chen Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded: "You could say that!"

"Hahahahahaha~"

Hu Yifei laughed heartily and kept patting Lu Ziqiao's shoulder.

On the other hand, Lu Ziqiao had a dark face and his hair was standing on end with anger!

Seeing that he had teased him enough, Chen Xiaobai stopped. "Ziqiao, I can give you this million!"

"real?!!!"

"but......"

"But what? Tell me quickly, and I'll agree to anything!"

"You said it yourself. First, you need to make it clear to your father. Only if he's sure he wants to give it to you will I give it to you. Otherwise, if I give it to you without his knowledge, I won't take responsibility..."

Before Chen Xiaobai could finish speaking, Lu Ziqiao ran to the side to make a phone call.

Five minutes later, Lu Ziqiao walked over with a beaming smile and slammed the phone on the table with an air of superiority. "Dad, go ahead and say it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiaobai, this money is for my son, but please keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't squander it!"

"Okay, don't worry!" Chen Xiaobai casually agreed. He thought he could have a good time, but by the time he finished calculating his expenses, he wouldn't have much left. He wouldn't be able to make a good time!

Lu Ziqiao excitedly rubbed his hands together next to Chen Xiaobai, "Now you can give it to me, right!"

"And one more thing!"

"Huh? There's more?!?"

"Ok?"

"you say!"

"I paid your original lawyer fees when you didn't have the money. Now that you have the money, you should pay me back, right? I'll give you a friendly price. The original price was 888,000, but I won't include the entertainment and errands. Let's round it down to 800,000!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ziqiao was instantly dumbfounded. "More, more, less?!"

Hu Yifei/Lin Qingqing: "Snatch the young master???"

"Just kidding, we hired the top lawyers in Shanghai back then, but they only gave us a discount because they thought the opponent was too weak!"

Chen Xiaobai took a sip of his drink, smiled calmly, and, having anticipated their reaction to the price, began to explain.

"Besides, she's worth the price! Otherwise, with all of Shan Jie's bones shattered, Yi Fei would be in jail, let alone be acquitted!"

"If you don't believe me, I have the bills!"

Lu Ziqiao was stunned after hearing this, and began to calculate in his mind.

(Lu Ziqiao: "One million minus eight hundred thousand, that leaves two hundred thousand. Even if I drive luxury cars, have beautiful women, and party every day, it's enough... One times seven equals seven, two times seven equals forty-eight, March 8th is Women's Day, May 1st is Labor Day... anyway, it's been so many days!!!") (Narrator)

"I agree!" Lu Ziqiao gritted his teeth. As long as he got the money, he was happy!

"Well done, Ziqiao, it wasn't for nothing that I helped you!" Hu Yifei patted his shoulder in praise.

"There's one more thing..."

"besides???"

"Of course!"

Chen Xiaobai said with a smile, thinking to himself, "Now that you have money, you have to pay back the money you borrowed from the apartment before!"

"You've borrowed from Yifei, Guangu, Wanyu, Qingqing, Meijia, Zhanbo, Teacher Zeng, Xiaohei, and me—you've borrowed from everyone!"

"Oh, right, and there's also Grandpa Zhang, the gatekeeper. He told me last time that he wanted you to pay back the money, because his grandson's birthday is coming up!"

Hu Yifei nodded in agreement and said without room for doubt, "I agree with that, Ziqiao, don't even think about going back on your word!"

"return!"

Lu Ziqiao gritted her teeth and squeezed out a single word, then looked at him expectantly, "Is everything alright now?"

"And another crucial matter is the rent!"

Chen Xiaobai looked at him solemnly, "Given that you have been in arrears with your rent for a long time, and that your father asked us to keep an eye on you and prevent you from messing around, I will pay your rent for three years. You can get it back anytime you want to move out in the future!"

"As a member of the residents' committee, I agree to this!" Hu Yifei knew this all too well. This kid's rent was so hard to collect. She didn't know how many times she had helped him pay the rent, and then she had to chase after him to collect it herself!

Lu Ziqiao slumped on the bar, looking helplessly at Chen Xiaobai. "Stop talking, I agree to everything. Just tell me how much money I can get!"

Chen Xiaobai immediately pulled out his calculator and started calculating the costs as he spoke:

"The lawyer's fee is 800,000, plus the debt is about 100,000, plus three years' rent totaling 45,000, making it a total of 50,000, which is just enough to pay this year's debt. You still have 50,000 left. Credit card or cash?"

"One million, and... only fifty thousand left?"

Lu Ziqiao stretched out his palm and looked at it again and again, as if he was questioning the meaning of life.

"Does that mean you don't want it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziqiao instantly became like a poodle with its fur standing on end, and said fiercely, "I want it! Why wouldn't I want it? I deserve it!"
