As expected, he came to ask for money. Shu Fu curled the corners of her mouth with a sneer and said, "I got the highest bid in the auction that night. According to what you said before, I can get at least 2.5 million in share.

So, after deducting the one million you lent me, you should give me one and a half million."

Xu Qingzi could tell that Shu Fu was trying to default on her debt, but she was at her wit's end and didn't dare to get angry, so she could only speak in a pleading tone.

"Xiao Fu, you know that something happened to the Xianle Cruise that night. All the accounts have been frozen. We won't be able to get a single cent back."

"What about your wealthy Chinese-Canadian businessman? Isn't he very rich?"

"He was also arrested. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been arrested too."

"What are you afraid of? Have you committed a crime?"

"No!" Xu Qingzi denied loudly.

"I am a law-abiding citizen, and I know nothing about what happened on the Xianle Cruise.

It’s just that rumors are like floods and beasts. Haven’t you seen that so many people who participated in the bidding have emerged online?

You were only gone for one night, so you don't have to worry, but I am worried!

If someone exposes me one day, how can I go back with dignity? So I really need some money and a place to hide away from the limelight! "

"You just participated? Didn't you also recruit people? Ten percent commission for each person is a huge profit! If it comes to guilt, you will be implicated, right?"

"Xiao Fu, what you said is wrong. I only pulled you from the beginning to the end!

And they ask you to go because they know you are in urgent need of money.

I admit that I was a little selfish in this matter, but it is a win-win situation.

Tell me honestly, didn't I help you?

If it wasn't me, would that million have fallen from the sky?

You can't think that everyone's kindness to you is just to use you and hurt you just because Zhou Zhaoran lied to you back then!"

It would have been fine if Zhou Zhaoran wasn’t mentioned, but when Shu Fu heard this name, she exploded.

"But what is the truth? The fact is that you really lied to me! If it weren't for Cao..." The word "Cao" just came to her lips, but she swallowed it back.

If we talk about Cao Siye, that would be going too far.

But she certainly didn't want anyone else to know about Cao Siye, especially Xu Qingzi.

She thought about it and changed her words.

"Forget it. What happened on the ship is over. Putting aside other things, you did lend me one million and solved my urgent need. I still want to thank you for this matter."

As Shu Fu spoke, she took out a bank card from her backpack and handed it over.

"In fact, I have already prepared the money, waiting for you to ask for it. The password is your birthday."

Xu Qingzi took the bank card in her hand, feeling mixed emotions. She asked cautiously and tentatively, "So, are we still friends?"

Are they still friends? Faced with this question, Shu Fu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

They have known each other for seven years, and too many grievances and entanglements have happened during these seven years. Now she can't even tell what kind of feelings she has for Xu Qingzi.

She thought about it and said, "Let's not see each other again in the future!"

Xu Qingzi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "After all, you are lucky to have met a good man. I guess the one million you returned to me was also given by him."

Unexpectedly, Xu Qingzi still brought up the topic of Cao Siye. Shu Fu said unhappily, "Don't think too much. I have nothing to do with him."

"Just because it doesn't matter now doesn't mean it won't matter in the future. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is definitely interested in you, otherwise how could he spend so much money on you.

You have to seize the opportunity to develop yourself. Such a high-quality bachelor is rare in the world."

"Do you think I'm the same as you? Do I only want to rely on men to get to the top?"

"Whatever you say to me is fine. I'm doing this for your own good. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider Jia Jia. She's already this old and can't live without a father. You can't always let her call you sister..."

"Enough." Shu Fu couldn't listen any longer. She walked to the door angrily and opened it.

"You've already got the money, please go!"

Xu Qingzi knew that she had touched her forbidden zone. Since she didn't want to talk anymore, she couldn't stay here any longer.

She stood up slowly, put the bank card in her pocket, put on her hat, and walked towards the door.

Shu Fu didn't even look at her the whole time, and it was obvious that she didn't want to say anything more.

Xu Qingzi didn't want to make the relationship so awkward, so she added another sentence when she walked in front of Shu Fu.

"Don't worry, I will keep your affairs a secret and won't tell you anything."

Shu Fu blinked in pain from the words, and from the corner of her eye she saw Xu Qingzi walking out the door. She vented all her anger on her hands, and pushed the door hard. With a loud bang, the door closed.

Her heart also felt much more relaxed.

The tightly closed iron door separated them and seemed to sever the friendship they had maintained for so many years.

Shu Fu walked back to the sofa and sat down, Xu Qingzi's words echoing in her ears.

"About you..."

"I'll keep it a secret..."

"secret......."

These words, seemingly meant to be a gesture of goodwill, were actually reminding her of her past that was too painful to recall.
