Chapter 332 - 332 332 Lucky Star
?Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Lucky Star Chapter 332: Chapter 332 Lucky Star Bai Xiao extricated herself from the embrace with great disdain and touched her own face.
“How disgusting can you get? Keep it up and I’ll avoid you like the plague. I’m definitely not into women.”
Liu Hong’s smirk was excessively cocky as she squinted at Bai Xiao, “Hey, as it turns out, I’ve taken a fancy to you.”
Both of them burst into laughter.
He Weng was all ears for the commotion in the kitchen, unable to understand how the two women could laugh so heartily.
Liu Hong suddenly sighed, “But opening a clothing store isn’t as easy as you say. You lent all your money to He Weng, and I don’t have a job yet. It’s difficult to ask my family for money before earning any myself. Alas, He Weng got ahead of me.”
She understood all too well that any venture needed a financial foundation.
“Maybe I should just find a factory job for a few months, save up some money, and then figure out how to open the clothing store.” Liu Hong didn’t want to worry her parents. Since she had struck out on her own, she was determined to make a real go of it, to succeed and someday return home in glory, showing everyone in her hometown and her parents that even a girl like Liu Hong can achieve great things.
Bai Xiao gave her a look, “You and your petty concerns. If I’ve considered doing this for you, how could I not have thought about the initial capital you’d need?”
Liu Hong cheered, grabbing Bai Xiao and hoisting her up high.
Bai Xiao cried out in haste, “You little brat, put me down right now! Your hands are all wet, and you’ve soaked my clothes!”
Liu Hong laughed heartily and, after spinning around a few times, finally set Bai Xiao down.
“I knew you cared for me the most.”
Bai Xiao rolled her eyes at her, “Who was it just now who said I wasn’t considering her needs?”
Liu Hong gave Bai Xiao a push, “I was wrong, okay? I always knew Bai Xiao was the best to me in this world.”
“Quit buttering me up. I can lend you the money, but let’s be clear: it’s a loan, and you’ll have to pay it back with interest. Somehow, I feel like I’m becoming a usurer.” Bai Xiao suddenly reflected on whether she could end up putting in a lot of effort without any appreciation after investing not just money, but also her labor and ideas.
“Pay it back? How could I not? Do you really think so lowly of me, that I’d be the type of person to borrow and not repay? Don’t worry. I, Liu Hong, am someone who stands tall. The capital you lend me today, I will return tenfold, a hundredfold in the future. Xiao, you’re my lucky star.
My parents were right, you are my benefactor. Ever since I met you, you saved my life, and now I might even become a boss. It makes me feel like I shouldn’t cross you in the future. What if I anger my lucky star and bring misfortune upon myself?” Liu Hong said with a sneaky tone.
Bai Xiao kicked her sharply in the shin, “Just get lost. Who’s your benefactor or lucky star? Meeting you has only brought me bad luck. I had to save your life, but now you’re even depending on me to find a job. Are you going to blame me for your marriage and kids too?”
Liu Hong pretended to cry out in pain from the kick.
“Then my happiness, my fate in marriage—it’s all in your hands for the rest of my life.”
“Pfft!”
He Weng, who had been hiding outside the kitchen, couldn’t hold back his laughter any longer and burst out laughing.
Liu Hong’s face turned red, and she stomped over to the door, glaring fiercely at He Weng, “What’s so interesting about a big man like you eavesdropping on girls’ conversations, huh?”
He Weng could only suppress his laughter and hurriedly returned to the living room.
