Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 130 The Simp Stand-in Quits (4)

All eyes turned to Lu Ming, as if waiting for him to come up with a plan. This was an experience Lu Ming was never having before.

He frowned imperceptibly and said to Xia Mingwei, "Alright, I know you're upset about making a scene today! But you've done your thing, let's just leave it at that! Don't drag this out any longer, or it'll make everyone lose face!"

As he said this, he grasped Xia Mingwei's hand. To outsiders, it appeared to be a display of deep affection, but only Xia Mingwei, the person involved, could truly understand the warning in his words.

But Xia Mingwei wasn't someone who could be threatened so easily. She smiled and broke free from Lu Ming's grasp, replying seriously, "I'm not making a fuss! Wasn't this your friend's suggestion? What, are you just a sore loser?" After saying this, Xia Mingwei pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, looking like she had said something wrong.

At this moment, Lu Ming was also startled by Xia Mingwei. Others might not know, but he knew that it had taken him quite a bit of effort to grab Xia Mingwei's hand! Yet she had broken free so easily, seemingly without any effort. How could that be? He had known Xia Mingwei for so long, and he had never thought she had such strength before!

But now is not the time to worry about whether she is strong or not; we need to deal with the current matter first.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming continued, "It was wrong of us to ask you out today to tease you! But is it really meaningful for you to embarrass us like this? You should go back now, just to save me face!"

This time, Xia Mingwei's smile vanished. She stared directly at Lu Ming and said, "Even though you're wearing perfume, I can still faintly smell a scumbag! I bet all you do all day is kick your head! You think you're so great? Pah! What, you think you're some kind of money, that everyone has to like you? You expect me to put down so much money right off the bat? You're pretty capable! Taking your anger out on someone is just for fun, but do you think you can actually get away with anything?"

Xia Mingwei's outburst silenced the entire arena. Only Lu Ming's increasingly grim face was visible, teetering on the edge of rage. Out of consideration for Lu Ming's status, the others could only tighten their sleeves and remain silent. After all, whoever spoke first would be the unlucky one! If Lu Ming held a grudge, they'd suffer the consequences! "Shut up!" Lu Ming's veins bulged, and he wanted nothing more than to rush forward and tear Xia Mingwei's mouth apart.

Xia Mingwei maintained her "what can you do about it?" attitude and continued, "What? Did I hit a nerve and you're getting angry?" The others, watching Xia Mingwei's incessant chatter, wished they could just cover her mouth. At that moment, they all shared the same thought: Stop talking, big sister! You don't want to live, but we do!

"If you knew you couldn't afford it, you shouldn't have asked! You're just showing off without being able to pay!"

Lu Ming had never been so humiliated in his life. He clenched his fists, wanting nothing more than to settle the matter quickly with money. "It's just a mere five hundred million! I'll give it to you!"

Xia Mingwei quickly corrected him, "It's not a mere five hundred million, it's five hundred and thirty-five million!" These days, you can't just round it down! What's hers, she won't get a penny less! Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, five hundred and thirty-five million, I'll give it to you!"

Of course, Lu Ming couldn't possibly come up with that much money by himself! He could only turn to the others and say, "You all caused this mess together, so you should all pay for it!"

Seeing that Lu Ming, the leader, had spoken, no one dared to say anything more. They could only split the debt and go make phone calls to raise money. Not everyone could raise so much cash, and Xia Mingwei thoughtfully considered this issue. "If you don't have that much cash, you can use goods as collateral!" Xia Mingwei added with a smile. Hearing this, the group walked over with long faces and took off their expensive watches, necklaces, and other accessories.

An hour later, the group finally gathered the required amount. Lu Ming shoved the huge sum of money from the account and other valuables in front of Xia Mingwei and said fiercely, "Now can you shut up?"

Looking at this enormous amount of wealth, Xia Mingwei was in a great mood. So, even though Lu Ming was furious, she didn't mind giving him a friendly look.

"No problem! I hope you all have fun! Remember to call me next time you have this kind of game!" Xia Mingwei said with a good-natured expression.

Upon hearing this, the people who were about to leave the private room froze. Again? How many lives did they have to withstand this kind of torment? It's no exaggeration to say that right now, their pockets were emptier than their faces!

Tonight, to support Li Nianyun and to thoroughly humiliate Xia Mingwei, they all drove their luxury cars. But unexpectedly, it all benefited Xia Mingwei alone!

Xia Mingwei was the last to leave the private room. With such a large sum of money, she certainly wouldn't treat herself badly. She went to the underground parking garage, chose a car that best suited her taste, and got in.

As she passed by the roadside, she saw a group of people shivering in the cold wind, waiting for a Didi ride. Xia Mingwei certainly wouldn't miss this perfect opportunity to mock them. She slowly drove over and rolled down the window.

Xia Mingwei said in an almost smug tone, "Thank you for the treat tonight! And you know what? Riding in this luxury car is just different! So comfortable!"

Xia Mingwei never expected that this car would actually belong to that lackey.

Hearing Xia Mingwei's words, the lackey's heart nearly broke. He had begged his father for ages before he finally agreed to buy this car. He'd only had it for a few days, and now someone else had taken it. How could he accept this? Looking at Xia Mingwei's face, he practically gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you're satisfied!" Xia Mingwei was even more delighted to hear this.

"Satisfied? Of course I'm satisfied! I didn't expect you to be so good at choosing a car, even though you're usually so clueless about people!"

After saying that, Xia Mingwei paused deliberately, then continued, "Speaking of which, I should thank you! If you hadn't come up with this idea today, I probably wouldn't have earned so much money in my life! I'll remember your kindness, and I'll treat you to a meal sometime when you have time!"

At Xia Mingwei's prompting, everyone realized that the person who had caused them such a huge financial loss today was this lackey. If it weren't for her coming up with that terrible idea, how would Xia Mingwei have gotten so much money? It's all his fault!

After successfully drawing hatred for that lackey, Xia Mingwei drove off in her luxury car with an air of nonchalance!
