Chapter 210: Qin Xue Loses Face

At this moment, inside Liu Ban.

"Have you guys heard? The homeroom teacher of Yi Ban just called both Fang Hong and Qin Xue to the office."

"How come I haven't heard about this? I just saw it with my own eyes."

"I heard that Qin Xue borrowed two thousand yuan from Fang Hong and gave it all to Lu Chi; now Qin Xue can't pay it back, and Fang Hong is furious."

"Ah? Is that for real?"

……

The surrounding classmates were all whispering.

Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Tingting, however, knew that this matter was true.

Lu Chi indeed had received two thousand yuan from Qin Xue.

And Lu Chi, sitting in the back row, showed no reaction at all right now.

It seemed as if he had nothing to do with this matter.

At this moment, a classmate from Yi Ban walked to the door of Liu Ban and said to Lu Chi inside the class: "Lu Chi, our homeroom teacher wants to see you about something."

Lu Chi seemed to have known he would be called to the office, so he stood up directly and walked toward the office.

Seeing this, the classmates in the class all started whispering, wanting to know how this matter would be resolved.

Meanwhile, over here.

Lu Chi had already walked into the office, only to see Qin Xue and Fang Hong both standing before the homeroom teacher, who looked at Lu Chi with a stern expression and asked: "Lu Chi, did Qin Xue ever lend you two thousand yuan?"

Faced with the homeroom teacher of Yi Ban's questioning, Lu Chi said without changing his expression: "It wasn't a loan; it was a gift. Qin Xue gave me two thousand yuan. I never said I would be responsible for her borrowing money—it was her own voluntary gift to me, said to express her affection for me."

Seeing Lu Chi say that directly in front of the homeroom teacher, Qin Xue's face changed as well.

"Lu Chi... you..."

Qin Xue's face flushed red with shame and anger.

Fang Hong also hadn't expected Qin Xue to be so shameless, expressing her affection not with her own money but with someone else's.

Qin Xue bit her lip and said: "Teacher, no, it's..."

"Don't speak yet."

The homeroom teacher's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she said: "Lu Chi, this money was borrowed by Qin Xue from Fang Hong, and now she has given it all to you. What do you think should be done?"

"These were all voluntarily given by Qin Xue to me; how she obtained this money has nothing to do with me."

Lu Chi said coldly: "I think this matter should be resolved by Qin Xue herself. Since it's her loan, she should repay it; if she can't, then let her parents repay it."

Hearing Lu Chi say these words, Qin Xue's face grew even more unpleasant.

She never imagined that one day she would hear such words come from Lu Chi's mouth.

Before, Lu Chi never lacked money and never quibbled over it.

Now that Lu Chi said this, Qin Xue has already lost all face in front of the teacher.

"Teacher, I know I owe Fang Hong an apology. The money was voluntarily given to Lu Chi by me, and I will find a way to repay Fang Hong. Please don't ask anymore, okay?"

Qin Xue looked pitifully at the homeroom teacher before her.

Fang Hong, meanwhile, said: "Teacher, Qin Xue had already said she would repay me, but now so much time has passed and she has nothing, so I think we should call her parents to school to repay me. Otherwise I really can't focus on studying."

"Fang Hong, we are after all friends; why can't you give us a little more time?"

"Friends? I don't see you treating me as a friend either."

Fang Hong wouldn't believe Qin Xue's nonsense.

Qin Xue previously used her money to try to win Lu Chi's favor, who knew his family would go bankrupt.

Qin Xue gained nothing from it, and now she actually owes Fang Hong money.

The homeroom teacher didn't have time to listen to their argument; the most important thing now is tomorrow's placement exam.

She certainly didn't want her class to have any more mistakes or omissions.

Before, because of Qin Xue, she had already lost all face in front of the principal.

"Qin Xue, I think the root of this matter lies with you. Let's call your parents over; I believe your family, even if struggling, still has two thousand yuan. Fang Hong lent you the money, so you must repay it."

Hearing the homeroom teacher also speak to Fang Hong, Qin Xue's eye sockets instantly turned red.

"Teacher... if my parents find out I borrowed this much money from a classmate, they will surely beat me to death."

Qin Xue's eyes were full of pleading.

Hearing Qin Xue say that, the homeroom teacher also felt somewhat vexed and said: "If you're afraid your parents will find out about this, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. Haven't you considered that if Fang Hong's parents find out she lent you money, what the consequences would be? People must take responsibility for their own mistakes."

Qin Xue opened her mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The homeroom teacher had obviously made up her mind to do this.

Qin Xue bit her lip and could only say: "I... I understand, but Teacher, tomorrow is the placement exam. I don't want this matter to affect my studies; just give me one day. Tomorrow I will repay Fang Hong the money. Please don't call my parents."

The homeroom teacher glanced at Fang Hong beside her and asked: "Fang Hong, what do you think?"

Before Fang Hong could even speak, Qin Xue reached out and grabbed her arm: "Hong Hong, we are best friends after all. I know I deceived you earlier, which was my fault, but you also know my family's situation. If my parents find out about this, I'm doomed. Since the homeroom teacher is here today, I can swear in front of her that I will definitely repay you tomorrow."

Fang Hong looked at Qin Xue's nervous appearance.

Actually, all she wanted was to get her money back.

She didn't really intend to do anything to Qin Xue.

It's just that Qin Xue had deceived her before, leaving her feeling somewhat annoyed.

Fang Hong said: "Okay, then I'll give you one more day. If you still can't repay the money tomorrow, then I'll have to ask your parents for it."

Hearing Fang Hong say that, Qin Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, as long as she gets one more day, she will surely be able to come up with the two thousand yuan.

Seeing that the matter was more or less resolved, the homeroom teacher let the three of them return to their respective classes.

Qin Xue caught up with Lu Chi and said: "Lu Chi, you know my family is struggling; that two thousand yuan, could you..."

Didn't you keep saying you like me? I just asked you for two thousand dollars, and you went to borrow from others, Qin Xue, your liking is really cheap. Could it be that you think I'm testing you, so you borrowed money from others, and this wouldn't harm your interests, would it?

Now Lu Chi is already able to tear off Qin Xue's smug face.

He now simply doesn't believe that Qin Xue likes him.
