422 Material

Yao Nian secretly spat at Yu Yan and scolded her for being short-sighted. He originally thought that the daughter of a rich family didn’t value material goods, but he didn’t expect her to be so materialistic.

Yu Yan ran to town for a few days in a row to make calls, but she still couldn’t contact her adoptive parents. In the end, she found an old colleague who was very close to her adoptive parents. Only then did she find out that her adoptive parents had hurriedly applied for leave from the agency half a month ago. She didn’t know where they went.

Among the male intellectuals who had lent Yu Yan money previously, two of them secretly discussed things amongst themselves and came to look for Yu Yan.

The two of them waited in the courtyard in front of the dormitory building. When they saw Yu Yan, they hurriedly went forward.

“Yu Yan, you said that you would return the money this month…”

Yu Yan looked at Zhao Wen and Wen Xun, who were standing in front of her, and hurriedly looked around. When she realized that no one was paying attention, she pulled the two of them to a corner. “I’m sorry, my parents received an urgent assignment and went on a business trip. They didn’t have time to transfer the money to me. I can only return it to you guys in a few days.”

After Zhao Wen and Wen Xun exchanged looks, Zhao Wen said, “Yu Yan, we’re a little short on money, so if it’s inconvenient on your side, you can return half of it first.”

If Yu Yan returned the money now, she wouldn’t even have a chance to make any calls next time. After thinking for a while, she planned to play the blame game.

Yu Yan looked sad as she asked, “Don’t you guys believe me? You know my family’s background. How can I not pay back the money I owe?”

Then, she said nonchalantly, “It’s only a few dozen yuan, which was my pocket money for a month or two in the past. When my parents come back from their business trip and send the money over, I’ll return it to you guys all at once. There’ll be packages too. I’ll give you guys some biscuits as interest.”

The reason the two young men agreed to lend money was mainly that Yu Yan usually gave everyone the impression that she wasn’t short of money. Moreover, they were all young people from the city who were short of money, so Yu Yan might help them if they were in trouble.

Moreover, when they heard that Yu Yan had promised to give him additional benefits, they were even more tempted. However, Zhao Wen was still a little worried, so he asked, “When are your parents coming back from their business trip?”

This question stumped Yu Yan a little and she could only reply vaguely, “Probably this month.”

The two of them each lent 5 yuan to Yu Yan. This was a lot of money for them! When they heard this, they began to feel uneasy again.

Wen Xun couldn’t help but ask, “Can you confirm the time? We don’t have any spare money on hand. If something happens, we really won’t know what to do.”

Seeing that the other party wanted to get to the bottom of it, Yu Yan felt very unlucky. Why was Yu Bing with these poor people? She had only borrowed a few yuan, but now, she was being urged, as if she owed them her life. It was all Yu Bing’s fault! If not for her, she wouldn’t have ended up like this!

Yu Yan lowered her eyes to hide the gloominess in them. After a moment, she looked up with a smile and an understanding expression on her face. “I understand. We’re all struggling. Don’t worry, I, Yu Yan, am not someone who refuses to return the money I borrowed. The time for my parents’ return hasn’t been decided yet, but I’ll definitely be able to return the money this month!”

Yu Yan thought about how her parents had never been away from home together in the past. This time might have been an emergency. Moreover, they had been gone for half a month. No matter what, there would be someone at home this month. In addition, the creditors were already urging her. At this moment, Yu Yan only wanted to calm them down and send them away, so she gave an affirmative answer.

The two of them didn’t say anything else and returned to the dormitory after saying goodbye to Yu Yan.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the courtyard, Yu Yan couldn’t help but curse, “Yu Bing, why don’t you die?! You’re simply born to jinx me! You didn’t give your family money, so I had to go around borrowing money!”

At this moment, Yu Yan still didn’t realize that she was the one who insisted on currying favor with her biological parents.
