Chapter 568: Rich (9)

“That won’t do. We’ll settle scores with each other. No matter how good our relationship is, it’s better to be clear about money. Otherwise, you’ll lose your only two good friends if you spoil us,” Li Meng said.

A person’s heart would never change, and habits were especially scary. If Xiao Huan were to always be the one giving, they could end up enjoying it too much. In time, they could become too used to her generosity, and their hearts would slowly change. They could forget and never give back.

“I know, I haven’t finished yet. This money needs to be returned with interest. Give me more when the restaurant earns money!” Mu Huan knew that no matter what kind of relationship one had, one had to have a balance. If one wanted to maintain it forever, one couldn’t be overly biased and preferential.

“You have to ask for interest below the market price!” Li Meng said with a smile.

“Of course!”

Just as they were about to part ways, Mu Huan looked at them and said, “Both of you know that I’m now very rich, and this money belongs to me. So, no matter what happens in the future, you have to come to me. Don’t think of other ways to solve your problem. If you want to borrow my money, I’ll want you to return it. It’s not like anything’s changed. Don’t hold on to your pride so much that you can’t let it go.”

She was going to be very busy and wouldn’t have the time to pay attention to them. She hoped that they would take the initiative to talk to her about anything. She didn’t want them to act like Wu Xingye did before, when he didn’t tell her about what had happened at home and went instead to gamble.

“What do you mean by pride? I don’t know what that is! I don’t have that thing!” Li Meng said.

Mu Huan looked at Wu Xingye.

Wu Xingye immediately said, “That thing has long been crushed and thrown away by me!”

“Alright, then, you guys go to the market. I’m going back to the laboratory.”

After separating from the two of them, Mu Huan was about to take a cab back to school when she saw a famous jewelry store across the road. She recalled that Bo Junyan’s mother had given her a greeting gift, so she should also return some gifts.

Hence, she walked toward the store.

This store was indeed well-known and had many precious items.

When Mu Huan took out a diamond necklace and looked at it, the girl who was next to her while checking out a bracelet looked over.

“That diamond necklace looks really good!”

“Yes, it does.” Mu Huan nodded.

“However, this doesn’t suit your age. I think this necklace suits older people,” the girl said.

“I’m just buying for an elder.”

“Are you buying it for your mother? Your mother is so fortunate to have such a filial daughter!”

Mu Huan smiled without saying anything.

“Darling, come over here!” The girl next to her turned to look at a man who was looking at a ring not far away.

The man quickly walked toward the girl.

The girl immediately hugged the man’s arm flirtatiously. “Look, she’s so young and yet she’s already buying such an expensive diamond necklace for her mother. My mother has worked so hard to raise me, yet I haven’t bought anything for her. Why don’t you let me pick a necklace for her too?”

“Didn’t you just buy your mother a present last time?”

“Last time is last time, isn’t it? Why don’t you buy another one…” the girl said coquettishly.

“Fine… fine… I’ll buy it. You can choose whatever you want!” With that, the man looked at the counter employee and said, “Bring over all the necklaces that are suitable for elderly people. It’s fine!”

Seeing this, the counter employee felt that they were going to make a big sale today and hurriedly brought over more and better items for the two to pick from.

Because the counter employee had brought out more, Mu Huan put down the necklace to see if there was anything better.
