Chapter 1843: Collecting on a Debt


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    “Do you know how difficult that particr year was for my family after I stole the money and gave it to you! My father gave me a beating and almost broke my leg! My mother fell sick and we didn’t even have the money to send her for treatment! I treated you like a brother! What do you take me for! I’ve really misjudged you all these years!” Wu Duo became more and more agitated as he spoke and almost burst into tears.


    Qiao Mei stood at the side and wanted to p and cheer for Wu Duo. It was such a pity that he did not be an actor. She originally just wanted to find an excuse to help Wu Duo clear his name. She did not expect Wu Duo to really put on a good show and be able to almost deceive everyone around him.


    A teacher came running from afar and said sternly, “Hey! What are you doing! Who’s fighting!’


    Sun Jia, the female ssmate who went to get the teacher, pointed at Wu Duo and said, “It’s him! Professor! He hit Xie Jing and said all kinds of bad things about Xie Jing! Professor, you know that Xie Jing has been an outstanding student all these years. He can’t have done those things.”


    “Xie Jing is a runaway debtor! I just want to get back my money!” Wu Duo said righteously.


    “Xie Jing owes you money? What nonsense! How can it be that Xie Jing owes money to someone like you?” Sun Jia looked at Wu Duo with a mocking expression.


    “Schoolmate, what do you mean by ‘someone like him’? He’s ranked second in the capital’s college entrance examination this year. Isn’t his results better than everyone here? Didn’t you just preach about being morally upright? Why are youunching a personal attack on him now?” Qiao Mei said as she stared at Sun Jia.


    Everyone only knew that the top scorer of the capital’s college entrance examination this year was a girl, but they had not paid any attention to the second-ced student. If not for Qiao Mei reminding them about this, no one would have known.


    When Xie Jing heard that, he looked at Wu Duo in shock. In the past, Wu Duo used to rankst in school. He was sloppy and did not work hard in his studies. How did he suddenly take second ce in the capital’s college entrance examination?


    “Student, how much does Xie Jing owe you?” the teacher asked.


    “800 dors,” Wu Duo replied.


    “800 dors? Are you sure that someone who dresses like you has 800


    dors?” The teacher sized Wu Duo up disdainfully.


    Wu Duo used to prefer having a high profile. Although his family was not that rich, they were quitefortable in life. However, after meeting Qiao Mei, Wu Duo learned to keep a low profile. He noted that although Qiao Mei had such a big house, the things she used at home were all very simple and ordinary. She even sewed all the children’s clothes herself.


    Therefore, Wu Duo was currently wearing clothes that were bought a few years ago. There were even some parts which were visibly patched up.


    Wu Duo stood rooted to the spot out of embarrassment. He really did not have much money on him now, at most 30 dors. There was no need to bring so much money to school. The food in the school canteen was very cheap and 30 dors was already enough for him to eat at the canteen for a month.


    Qiao Mei took out a watch from her pocket. In order to celebrate her four students sessfully entering their ideal university, she had specially bought them a gift each to celebrate the event. During the enrollment period, she had gone off to deliver the baby, so she had not managed to pass them the gifts yet.


    “Look at how careless you are. Your uncle came to look for me just now and asked me to bring this to school and give it to you. You should try to improve your memory!” Qiao Mei said reproachfully.


    Some people recognized the brand of this watch. It was thetest watch released for sale by Hai Qin this year. Each watch cost 300 dors!


    Furthermore, it was a limited edition watch, which meant one might not be able to buy it even with money. Only long-time VIPs of the brand could get their hands on one.


    “Why is your watch with this female ssmate! What’s your rtionship with her! Why does your uncle know this female ssmate! Aren’t you going to exin yourself!” Sun Jia questioned.


    “Schoolmate, why are you so curious about everything? His uncle is our high school homeroom teacher. We used to be from the same ss. Then what’s your rtionship with Xie Jing? Why are you so eager to help him? Are you from the same hometown as him? Or are you ex-ssmates in high school?” Li Xue asked sharply.


    “l… l…” For a moment, Sun Jia did not know how to exin herself. She was just someone who had a crush on Xie Jing and she was not even from the same faculty as him. They were not in the same year.


    “Enough! Stop arguing! This group,e to the office with me! The rest of you, go back to ss!” the teacher shouted..
