Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Not Enough
He Juan nodded, "Consider it a loan from you guys, I’ll pay you back when my parents send my living allowance."
Bai Xiao frowned, it’s not that it’s wrong to do this, but because of this, buying an item of clothing that exceeds one’s financial ability seems too unworthy, just for the sake of face value.
But at this time, even if she said anything, they probably wouldn’t listen, probably still thinking she’s a new student who’s afraid of causing trouble, keeping her distance.
It really was a headache.
He Juan timidly took out the one hundred yuan she had, which was her allowance for five months; the school didn’t charge tuition, and living costs per month weren’t much, but she still needed some subsidies from home, and she couldn’t get more until she went home during the holidays.
Ma Yao quickly pulled out the money in her pocket, totaling only one hundred and twenty, which was all she had.
Lin Xiang took out fifty yuan.
Her family lived in the countryside, and it wasn’t easy for her parents to give her money, this was all she owned.
The three of them no longer looked at Bai Xiao, even if Bai Xiao now took out one hundred yuan, what difference would it make.
It still wasn’t enough.
Far from enough.
They even stopped considering asking Bai Xiao.
Qiang Xinran and Meng Han looked at the money in the three girls’ hands and came up with smiles, saying with bad intentions, "That’s not enough! This new student is not doing enough, why don’t you take out your money?"
"Take out what, you can see it won’t be enough, she’s smarter than them, didn’t think about humiliating herself."
"Yes, people nowadays, oh how vain, look at her pretending to be something big without money, better strip the clothes quickly! What are you waiting for?"
Qiang Xinran was determined to humiliate He Juan today, to embarrass Ma Yao and the entire dormitory, to see how they would swagger around them in the future.
At the end of the day, this disaster was caused by Ma Yao.
The waiter, who disliked Qiang Xinran and her gang bullying others, couldn’t argue with the fact of having no money, and now it was even necessary to make the girl strip.
People around started to egg on.
"Strip, come on girl, strip now!"
Those with malicious intent were intimidated by Bai Xiao’s glare, mumbling, "It wasn’t me who said it, it was those two young girls who said it."
He Juan turned pale, her fingers gripping her skirt tightly, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the curtain.
Qiang Xinran and Meng Han mocked with laughter, "Exactly, strip quickly, that dress isn’t meant for you."
"A country bumpkin coming to the city trying to dress like others, doesn’t even see what kind of stuff she is."
The harsh, insulting words made Ma Yao and Lin Xiang tremble with anger, but Lin Xiang still desperately held back Ma Yao, not letting her take action.
Fighting would lead to a major demerit from the school, or even expulsion, their admission to university wasn’t easy, no reason to let others ruin their future.
Bai Xiao grabbed He Juan, who looked at Bai Xiao, not understanding. Bai Xiao hadn’t taken out any money just before, and all three felt somewhat disappointed, knowing it wasn’t reasonable to expect her to help them, and even if she wanted to, she couldn’t do much as none of them were rich.
But there was still a slight discomfort inside since they were roommates after all.
Now, she must be trying to offer comfort.
He Juan forced a strained smile, "It’s okay! I’m fine."
Bai Xiao told the sales clerk, "We’ll take this dress, please make the bill."
This statement immediately shocked everyone.
Everyone looked at Bai Xiao.
This girl must be dreaming!
