Chapter 495: We Live on Our Salaries Too — We Really Can't Help You

~4 min read 718 words

Duan Ruirui said excitedly, "Some people guessed you have a photographic memory, others said you have the strongest brain. Either way, they're either praising you or marveling at your luck."

Liu Chuxue heard this and laughed outright: "They really are something."

Duan Ruirui looked at Liu Chuxue with eyes blinking on and off: "Chuxue, tell me, do you really have a photographic memory?"

Liu Chuxue looked at her gossipy expression: "Photographic memory, not quite that, but it's true that I have a good memory."

Duan Ruirui said with an adoring face: "You're really amazing. Next time the factory has another competition, I'll definitely recommend you."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the dormitory.

But just as they were about to reach the dormitory building, they found a crowd gathered up ahead, and a voice rang out: "You stinking whore, you were screwing me over, weren't you?"

Duan Ruirui grabbed Liu Chuxue and squeezed into the crowd.

They saw a few men who looked like petty thugs surrounding Bai Moli.

Bai Moli's face was ugly as she said: "I didn't lie to you, please give me a little more time."

Duan Ruirui whispered into Liu Chuxue's ear: "I don't know how she managed to provoke these people. If this isn't handled well, it might even affect work."

Liu Chuxue asked quietly: "Why did she get divorced?"

Duan Ruirui shook her head: "I'm not sure, I only know she got divorced."

At this moment, a Miss standing behind them said: "Isn't it because her maiden family has a brother who loves to gamble. Originally the couple's days were passing fairly well, but every time her brother lost gambling money he'd send people to her to get it. Once it happened too many times, even if her ex-husband didn't say anything, his family couldn't stand it.

Once her brother brought people to their door and even got physical with his in-laws. Her ex-husband naturally couldn't stand it either and gave her the cold war directly. After that, when her brother went to ask for money again, her man brought up divorce.

Still, that man was decent enough — at the very least he didn't take back the job his family had arranged for her, treating it as compensation for her."

Liu Chuxue looked at Bai Moli, whose expression was on the verge of collapse, and couldn't help feeling a wave of sympathy, but she herself couldn't even stand on her own two feet — she couldn't help anyone.

Seeing their goal achieved, those men dropped some harsh words and left cursing and swearing.

Bai Moli saw those people leave, covered her face, and ran upstairs.

Ji Kunlan walked over to Liu Chuxue and the others: "Why aren't you hurrying back to get your lunchboxes? There's meat buns tonight."

The moment Duan Ruirui heard about eating, her eyes brightened several degrees: "Quick, quick, quick — I was so busy watching the show I forgot about today's buns."

What they didn't expect was that when they got upstairs, they saw Bai Moli standing there. When they walked closer, Bai Moli went pale: "Please, help me."

Ji Kunlan said, a little unhappily: "We also live on our salaries, we really can't help you."

Duan Ruirui muttered quietly: "You're a bottomless pit. Nobody's life is that easy. Find some other way."

At this point quite a few people came out pointing and whispering at her. Unable to bear it, Bai Moli ran out crying.

Ji Kunlan saw her like that and felt a little sorry in her heart, but with her situation, who would dare let her get attached to them?

When the three took their lunchboxes to the cafeteria, they happened to run into Xiao Wanxia coming out from inside.

Ji Kunlan walked over with a smile: "Second Sister-in-law, you here to buy buns too?"

Xiao Wanxia replied with a smile: "Yaoyang said this morning he wanted buns. I've been a bit busy lately, so I came over to bring a few back for him."

Liu Chuxue and Duan Ruirui stepped forward to greet her, then entered the cafeteria first.

Xiao Wanxia didn't know why, but she always felt Liu Chuxue looked somehow familiar, yet she couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Liu Chuxue.
