After saying this, her face regained the composure of an ancient well with no ripples. Clapping her hands loudly, she said to the spectators, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and get back to work. Have you finished all of today’s drawings?”

“Yes! Yes!” The employees at the side immediately dispersed in all directions. Lu Weixi glanced at the disheveled Liu Yiyi, before turning to leave.

——

The sun was shining brightly outside.

Lu Weixi turned into another corner at the end of the street with her back straight, and instantly felt defeated.

Perhaps she was starting to regret her impulsiveness, especially after her superior cursed her at full blast and told her to produce the compensation worth tens of thousands.

The commission for this business deal was quite lucrative for the company. To accept this deal, she had stayed up overnight for a few days and edited the design seven or eight times, before it had passed.

It was a minor thing to lose the business, but she now had to fork out the huge compensation and she was still worried that she might really be kicked out of the company if Qin Zhiyou got angry because of his lover. She was even more afraid that he would not give her a hundred thousand dollars worth of overnight fees in a fit of anger.

Her mother’s illness could not be dragged on any longer. It had been five years since she had lung cancer. Half a year ago, it was discovered that the cancer cells had spread to her brain, destroying the central nerves and causing her lower limbs to lose their function. It had gotten to a point that she would not be awake for more than an hour in a day. Her previous Vintafolide drug was no longer working and it was changed to ZERO-1, but she did not know how long her mother could last. However, this kind of new drug would cost at least a hundred and twenty thousand a month. Even if she was an interior designer and would earn twenty to thirty thousand per month, it was simply not enough.

How was she going to get so much money?

Lu Weixi stomped on her heels in frustration. Goddammit, Lu Weixi. Why did you act so impulsively? It isn’t the first time this happened. Why couldn’t you control yourself?

She was no longer the proud and unruly Eldest Bai Miss of the past. After her parents divorced, she had even changed her last name and nobody would stand up for her anymore.

If I go back now, perhaps I can beg him…

This thought flashed across her mind for a moment, before she immediately threw it away. Ugh, I’m really foolish to think of such stupid ideas. But I can’t not prepare the money, especially the urgent compensation fee.

She thought for a very long time, and finally could not help but give Xue Feifei a call.

The phone rang for a while before it connected. Bustling noise could be heard from the other end of the phone, and it sounded like she was in the middle of filming.

“Weixi, you haven’t called me in a long time. Let’s go shopping when we’re both free!”

Lu Weixi hesitated for a while and could not help but ask, “Feifei, I have an urgent matter… Can you lend me some money?”

“Sure,” Xue Feifei said swiftly. “It’s rare for you to ask. How much do you need? Fifty thousand or a hundred thousand? I won’t lend you if it’s less than fifty thousand, I can’t lower myself to that stage. But I’m working now, so I’ll transfer you after I finish for the day.”

Lu Weixi was speechless. The wealthy can really do whatever they want…

“Okay, thank you.”

“Hm? Why are you being so distant?” Xue Feifei smiled and teased her, “If it wasn’t for you standing up for me and lending me money back then, I wouldn’t even have finished my university education, let alone come out and act. People would marry their benefactors to repay them for the life-saving favor. My actions are considered nothing, no?”

Lu Weixi looked disgusted. “Stop teasing me, just lend me if you want to.”

After Lu Weixi ended the call, she sighed. Xue Feifei and Lu Weixi were neighbors and grew up together, but both of them were not on very good terms until the second semester when they were in their third year of university. Xue Feifei’s father had run off after incurring lots of debt and her boyfriend had broken up with her. At that point, Lu Weixi, who was still the Bai family’s eldest miss, had helped lend her some money so she could finish her education.

Who knew that after Xue Feifei graduated, she would be scouted and she would sign with a management company? Since her debut, she was even filming a few shows and becoming more and more popular by the day.
