379. Chapter 379 The Truth Comes Out 3

Lao Ma had just left when Liu Xi immediately shut the room's door and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you what I saw. Look at the date—it's correct too. Hurry up and call A Yun." Liu Xi seemed even more anxious than I was.

"But I suddenly don't want to call him." I clenched that slip of paper tightly in my hand and said.

"No way, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have taken the scolding for you just now." Liu Xi said dissatisfiedly.

"I've decided to go find him, old brother—thanks for helping me this time. I'll pay Shangguan Yun something to compensate you; rest assured he's loaded." I said with a happy smile. As I was about to leave, Liu Xi grabbed me and said, "Oh right, just now you didn't help me at all, and you were even adding fuel to the fire from the side—who am I doing this for?" Liu Xi suddenly recalled and said.

"All right, all right, I know—I said it already, I'll compensate you. Time's short, so I'm going to find Shangguan Yun first. Lao Ma, you hold things down here for me. I'm leaving." I hurriedly wrenched my hand free from Liu Xi's grip and said.

"Remember the Twenty Dollars deducted from me—if Lao Ma doesn't make it up to me, just deduct it from you." Sure enough, Liu Xi hadn't forgotten the Twenty Dollars Lao Ma had deducted from him.

"I know, I know—I'll help persuade Lao Ma; if it really won't work, I'll cover it for you, I'll cover it for you." I said and then walked away.

Anyway, since I've been with Shangguan Yun, my money has hardly been used at all—I've saved a lot. At Xuexiao, when I eat with Shangguan Yun, he pays; on weekends, either I don't go out, or if I do, it's with Shangguan Yun, who always comes to pick me up, we drive, eat, go shopping—everything, I don't have to spend a cent. There's a saying, something like… money really has nowhere to go.

When I reached the door and was about to put on my shoes, Lao Ma's voice came from behind me: "Xuanxuan, you're still sick—where are you going?"

After putting on my shoes, I stood up and smiled at Lao Ma, saying, "It's fine, I'm almost better, right? Lili has something for me. Mom, I might be late coming back tonight—don't wait for me. I'm leaving now." I walked out before Lao Ma could react.

If Lao Ma were to grab me now and not let me leave, I might just escape anyway.
