Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 846: Chapter 846: We’re Even Now

Zhang Zhaodi, with reddened eyes, said, "Earlier, I thought Shen Xiaoyu was just good at pretending, but I didn’t expect that she really can’t be trusted.

Turns out the day she lent me money in front of the senior was just to make a good impression on him. In the end, she went to confess and got rejected, and now she’s not even pretending anymore, coming straight to me to ask for the money back.

But I had already sent that money back home, so I can’t get it now. I wanted to ask her to give me a bit more time, but she went and made a big fuss, probably taking out her anger on me after being rejected by the senior."

Xinyan comforted her a bit, telling Zhang Zhaodi to calm down. After exchanging a glance with Jiang Peiqin, the two tacitly walked out.

Zhang Zhaodi’s family wasn’t in a great condition, but she never thought of taking advantage of the other classmates in the dorm. She was optimistic and enthusiastic, the joy-bringer of their dormitory.

But Shen Xiaoyu, that Little White Lotus, wanted to step on Zhang Zhaodi to win the senior’s favor, only to get rejected and then vent her anger on Zhang Zhaodi. It was truly disgusting, revolting enough to open the door to disgust itself.

Jiang Peiqin and Xinyan left the dormitory, and when they reached the water room, Jiang Peiqin spoke first, "Let’s set Shen Xiaoyu’s matter aside for a moment. A few days ago, I noticed something was off with Zhaodi, but when I asked her what was wrong, she hesitated for a long time and didn’t mention anything about her home.

Now, with Shen Xiaoyu’s debt chasing, since we’re living in the same dormitory by chance, it’s only right we help her. What do you think?"

Xinyan looked serious, "I have no objections."

Seeing Xinyan agree, Jiang Peiqin said, "Alright then, let’s go back and ask what’s happened to her family, then we’ll see how we can help."

Xinyan nodded, "Okay, you handle this."

The two had agreed, and were about to leave the water room, when they saw Shen Xiaoyu enter with another girl.

Shen Xiaoyu hadn’t expected Jiang Peiqin and Han Xinyan to be here, remembering how she had worked hard to win Jiang Peiqin over but got no warmth, she decided to drop the act.

As they passed each other, Shen Xiaoyu unexpectedly said, "Please pass a message to Zhang Zhaodi, I have errands to run this afternoon, if she wants to repay the money, she can find me after six in the evening."

Jiang Peiqin cast her a cold sideways glance, "We’re not your messengers, why should we help you? Say it yourself."

Shen Xiaoyu replied with feigned innocence, "I just want to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Zhaodi might feel embarrassed."

Xinyan looked at Shen Xiaoyu with a frosty expression, "If you cared about her, you wouldn’t have gone to cause trouble this morning, so what’s your act now.

You wanted to use Zhaodi to set yourself up, but that didn’t achieve your hidden agenda, now you’re trying to make it up with Zhaodi, aren’t you? What do you take her for, what do you take us from dorm 306 for?"

Shen Xiaoyu was surprised that Jiang Peiqin and Han Xinyan would stand up for Zhang Zhaodi, "It’s such a trivial thing, why are you making a fuss over it?"

Disgusted by Shen Xiaoyu’s two-facedness, Xinyan said, "Come along, Zhaodi can repay you now, but after that, stay away from her."

Finishing her words, Xinyan pulled Jiang Peiqin to leave.

Knowing these two weren’t to be trifled with, Shen Xiaoyu reluctantly followed them back to dorm 306.

Xinyan didn’t let her into the dormitory, "Wait outside."

The two entered the dormitory and shut the door, Xinyan pretended to rummage through her bag, but was actually taking thirty dollars out from the space, and walked up to Zhang Zhaodi, "Here’s thirty dollars, settle Shen Xiaoyu’s debt first."

Zhang Zhaodi hadn’t reacted yet, was about to decline when Jiang Peiqin said, "Shen Xiaoyu is right outside the door."

Zhang Zhaodi was smart, though her mind was preoccupied with her family troubles, she understood what Jiang Peiqin meant.

Xinyan gestured with her eyes to repay the money at the door.

Understanding they were helping her, she didn’t hesitate further, stood up and walked to the door, opened it and saw Shen Xiaoyu standing outside.

Recalling the humiliation she endured in the morning, she loudly said, "You’re here to collect money, afraid I can’t repay, here you go, make sure you counted it right."

Shen Xiaoyu took the three ten-dollar bills, said to Zhang Zhaodi, "I was in a bad mood this morning, which is why my words weren’t nice, please don’t take it personally."

Zhang Zhaodi didn’t respond directly, but said, "We’re square now."

Shen Xiaoyu was momentarily stunned, "Zhaodi, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Zhaodi’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, "Just what you think it means, it’s better we don’t associate much in the future, lest you sell me out and I still stupidly count your money for you."

Shen Xiaoyu’s face turned ugly, she hadn’t expected Zhang Zhaodi to be so blunt, and there were quite a few others around watching, Zhang Zhaodi’s voice wasn’t low, everyone probably heard it.

In anger, she said, "How can you say that?"

From inside the dormitory, Jiang Peiqin couldn’t tolerate it, "You can treat her like that but not let her express herself, you’re truly double-standard."
