One million yuan.
Qian Lili's face showed despair.
Even if she were sold, she couldn't pay it back!
She was filled with regret, but it was too late now.
So she turned her gaze to Wang De beside her and grabbed his arm.
"Brother De, you know my situation. I don't have a single cent on me. I've been with you for almost two years. You can't just leave me alone. Pay my share too!"
Wang De shook her off directly. "What kind of daydream are you having? One million yuan! Where can I get one million yuan? Take responsibility for your own debts. Do you think I'll help you? Don't even dream about it!"
"Wang De!" Qian Lili shouted resentfully. "You've slept with me for two years. Isn't it only right for you to pay back 500,000 yuan for me?"
Wang De raised his hand and slapped her across the face. "Slept with you for two years? If it weren't for your jealousy when you saw Zhu Ning was about to get promoted and you climbed into my bed, asking me to give you Zhu Ning's promotion slot, would I have slept with you? Do you deserve it? Slut!"
Zhu Ning's eyes widened for a moment.
The truth of being targeted in the past was laid out right in front of her.
Originally, Zhu Ning always thought that Qian Lili had been hostile to her because she accidentally witnessed their illicit affair.
It turned out that there was such a premise before that.
How ironic.
She could have had a wonderful life a long time ago.
But it was all ruined by Qian Lili's jealousy.
Thinking of the life of hiding like a rat in the gutter for the past year, Zhu Ning slowly clenched her fists.
[Detected that the host's emotions are fluctuating greatly. Automatically playing the Heart - Clearing Mantra for the host.]
Ding!
In her mind, a profound and complex tune began to play melodiously.
Zhu Ning: …
Zhu Ning:???
[The past darkness cannot be chased; the road ahead will be bright and splendid. Host, please keep a happy mood.]
Although it was a mechanical voice without gender or emotion.
At this moment, Zhu Ning heard a touch of care and pity in it.
The pain and anger in her heart quietly dissipated.
Yes, the past darkness cannot be chased, and the future will be bright.
Now, she was no longer the poor little mouse Zhu Ning.
She was Miss Zhu of Villa No. 1.
Qian Lili was slapped to the ground. Her first reaction was to look at Zhu Ning's reaction.
There was irony and mockery.
Zhu Ning didn't even get excited or break down. She looked at Qian Lili like she was a clown, contemptuously exposing the fact that she was short - sighted.
Qian Lili's face turned red with embarrassment.
She retorted, "I seduced you? You're the one who pounces on any woman you see. I just hooked my finger and you came crawling. I seduced you? Let me tell you, Wang De, you must pay back my debt for me. Otherwise, we'll meet in court. I'm determined to sue you for rape!"
Wang De's blood rushed to his head. He raised his hand to strike again, but the police officer couldn't just stand by and watched. He stepped forward to stop him.
Wang De's chest heaved violently with anger, and then he forced himself to calm down. "Speak with evidence. You say I raped you. Where's the evidence!"
Qian Lili's face suddenly changed. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Fine. Even if you're not willing to pay it all back for me, you should at least pay part of it."
"What do I owe you!"
Wang De flatly refused. Qian Lili pestered him. They argued with each other, and finally, they each took responsibility for their own debts.
Wang De said, "She's her, and I'm me. We'll each be responsible for our own debts. I can pay my 500,000 yuan right now!"
Saying that, he gritted his teeth and handed the key of his Audi car to Song Ya. "This car is less than two years old. I've already paid off the loan. The current market valuation of this car is about 380,000 yuan. I'll mortgage it to you. Besides, I have more than 100,000 yuan in my bank account..."
Seeing that Wang De was about to clear his debt, Qian Lili immediately broke down.
"Wang De, you bastard! How can you be so selfish and only care about yourself!"
Then she said resentfully, "I don't have any money. I won't pay it back!"
"Not pay it back?" Song Ya said coldly. "Then I'll let my professional legal team handle the lawsuit with you."
"First, send you to jail for a few years. After you come out, we'll still chase you for the money!"
Want to evade debt? Impossible!
Qian Lili's face turned pale. She pleaded with tears in her eyes, "But I really don't have any money..."
"It's easy,"
Song Ya smiled slightly.
"Just get a car loan."
Qian Lili's expression cracked.
Song Ya was very skilled at promoting loans and collecting debts.
After the accounts were settled and the money was transferred, Qian Lili and Wang De parted ways, glaring at each other.
Before leaving, Qian Lili turned her head and glared at Zhu Ning resentfully.
"Zhu Ning, you'll come to the class reunion in a month, right?"
Zhu Ning raised her eyebrows.
Wasn't she beaten enough in the face yet?
Qian Lili said, "I'll wait for you at the class reunion. I hope you won't be abandoned by then and can still be as glamorous as you are now."
She judged others by herself. Because she was short - sighted and sold her body and youth for a mere promotion slot, she thought that Zhu Ning also achieved her current status in the same way.
She was waiting to see Zhu Ning's downfall.
Song Ya frowned and wanted to explain. Zhu Ning raised her hand and then said with a smile, "Sure. See you in a month."
Qian Lili gave her a fierce look.
"Waiting for you, fatso!"
Song Ya couldn't bear it, but Zhu Ning held him back. "It's okay." So Song Ya stopped.
After the matter was resolved, the police officer left.
First, Song Ya arranged for the team to transport the car back to the shop for repair, and then he drove Zhu Ning back to Jinting Yufu.
On the way, he comforted Zhu Ning not to be angry because of such people and said that he would give her a little surprise later to cheer her up.
"Surprise? What surprise?"
Song Ya smiled mysteriously. "You'll know later."
Zhu Ning stopped asking. She glanced at the time. It was almost seven o'clock.
Thinking of the unfinished consumption task, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
Originally, she planned to spend the money on herself, but how could she spend it now?
Online shopping? Just looking at items worth 900,000 yuan would exhaust her.
After some thought, her attention was caught by a fitness advertisement on a building outside the car window.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
She could hire a personal trainer to lose weight!
Zhu Ning looked down at her plump belly and legs.
She had wanted to exercise when she had no money, but without guidance, she was bound to take many detours.
There were frequent cases where improper fitness movements had the opposite effect.
Now that she had money, it was time for her to find a good personal trainer to change her appearance.
She remembered Qian Lili's words "fatso" when she left.
She clenched her fist. Losing weight was nothing!
She could do it!
Just as she made up her mind, she suddenly heard a ding in her head.
[Ding! New task detected: Lose weight and get cash back. Lose one pound and get a one - million - yuan reward. Task countdown: 90 days. Please stay motivated, host!]
Zhu Ning's eyes widened instantly.
Lose one pound and get a one - million - yuan reward?
She currently weighed 120 pounds. If she lost 20 pounds... she could get... 20 million yuan...
Zhu Ning's breathing became hot, and her head felt dizzy.
Her determination to lose weight became even more firm.
She was determined to earn this money!
Making up her mind, she turned to Song Ya beside her and asked if he could recommend any good fitness trainers.
"Yes. Are you going to lose weight?"
He looked at Zhu Ning. She nodded seriously. "Yes, I am."
Song Ya said, "Actually, you're fine like this. You're so cute."
Zhu Ning gave him a speechless look. Song Ya laughed. Then he took out his phone from the glove box, unlocked it, and asked her to find a phone number named Coach Zhang in the contacts.
"He was a former swimming coach in the Olympic Village. Now he's a personal trainer in a high - end gym. A single session costs 8,000 yuan, and a package service costs 10,000 yuan per session.
"Below his number is his partner, Teacher Lin, who has a national - level first - class nutritionist qualification certificate. Customizing a three - meal diet plan costs 10,000 yuan a day."
"They're very professional. I lost weight with their help. You can contact them and give it a try."
Zhu Ning was first surprised by the price of the personal trainer, and then shocked to learn that Song Ya used to be a chubby guy. They joked with each other for a while. Then Zhu Ning added Coach Zhang on WeChat, explained her intention, and the other side quoted the price and said that she could have a trial class first.
Song Ya's recommendation couldn't be wrong. For the sake of the task, Zhu Ning waved her hand and transferred 900,000 yuan directly.
Zhu Ning: I'll buy 50 sessions from you and a 400,000 - yuan health package from Teacher Lin.
The other side was stunned by Zhu Ning's generosity. The message showed "typing..." several times, but there was no message for a long time.
It took a long time for him to send a message.
Coach Zhang: Okay.
As his message came in, the system prompt for the completion of the task rang.
[Congratulations, host. You've completed the daily consumption task. The daily reward of one million yuan has been transferred to your account. Please check it.]
The next moment, the notification sound of the mobile banking app came.
Zhu Ning couldn't help but smile.
Song Ya drove into the gate of Jinting Yufu. Seeing her good mood from the side, he said, "Are you so happy about losing weight? Since that's the case, I'll give you a gift too."
Then, another notification sound of the bank card came.
[1,000,000 yuan has been credited to your account by Huaxia Bank. Your remaining available balance is 3,000,000 yuan...]
Zhu Ning looked up in surprise.
Song Ya said, "This one - million - yuan compensation from Wang De and Qian Lili now belongs to you!"
As the boss of a car dealership, he knew how to repair the car, how much it would cost, and how to claim insurance. He could handle it to the best of his ability.
Sometimes, it wasn't that he couldn't do things that would benefit others, but he just didn't want to.
Wang De and Qian Lili just happened to fall into his trap. He didn't mind taking advantage of them!
