NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 22
Chapter 22-Two: Chi Yunmeng’s Embarrassment in Front of Her Brother?
Zhao Renzhou walked in and saw Chi Yunmeng in a white silk dress reclining on the bed. He walked straight towards her, with her exposed figure catching his attention.
Meanwhile, Chi Yunmeng was on the phone and, upon hearing movement at the door, instinctively grabbed the center of her white silk dress and pulled it down when she saw it was Zhao Renzhou. She slowly let her hand go and continued to focus on her phone call.
As Zhao Renzhou approached, he lay down on the bed, moving his body around a bit after injecting the serum for junior soldiers. His body wasn’t tired, but he needed some mental relaxation. He reached out and pulled Chi Yunmeng, who was still on the phone, towards him. Chi Yunmeng was taken off guard and was pressed against Zhao Renzhou.
“Eh!”
“Don’t…”
Chi Yunmeng clenched her lips tightly, determined not to let her younger sister on the other end of the phone detect anything unusual.
Dragon Country.
Jinghai City.
Jinghai Medical University.
On the balcony of the dormitory.
Dressed in a pale yellow nightgown.
Her features bore some resemblance to Chi Yunmeng’s.
But she appeared even more innocent, more delicate – she was Chi Yunxi.
Her face quickly flushed red.
Her breath involuntarily quickened.
She gently bit her lip.
Ah ah ah ah ah——!
How could her sister…
How could she…
be doing that… Ah!
Chi Yunxi found herself subtly regretting making this phone call.
She wasn’t an entirely clueless child.
Ever since enrolling in Jinghai Medical University,
she had gained knowledge in that area.
She had even watched videos secretly with her best friend…
Though Chi Yunmeng on the other end of the phone tried to suppress it vigorously,
Chi Yunxi,
how could she possibly not hear it!
It was just too obvious, wasn’t it?!
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Chi Yunxi listened to her sister’s strenuously suppressed sounds on the other end, stuttering as she replied:
“Yeah… right…”
“Don’t worry….”
“You can relax….”
“Okay….”
“Sis! You go ahead and do your thing!”
“I’m hanging up!”
Chi Yunxi quickly hung up the phone.
She held the phone to her chest.
Her face was bright red…
She took several deep breaths to calm herself…
Next time….
Next time!
She would definitely not make a late-night call!
Absolutely not!
Hmm….
What Chi Yunxi didn’t know was that if Zhao Renzhou on the other end wasn’t busy during the day,
a daytime call…
would also be unavoidable…
Chi Yunxi slapped her cheeks.
She let out a sigh of relief.
Turning, she opened the balcony door.
Returning to the dormitory.
Seeing Chi Yunxi coming back.
The classmate who lived in the bunk above Chi Yunxi whispered, “Yunxi, have you managed to gather the money?”
Chi Yunxi sat down by the window and replied, “I’ve gathered it.”
“My sister will send it to me tomorrow.”
But deep down, she couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Because Chi Yunxi had lied to Chi Yunmeng.
Nobody in their family was sick.
She had been scammed.
She had signed a loan contract she couldn’t repay.
She didn’t dare to tell her parents.
She had no choice but to turn to her sister, who hadn’t been home for several years.
Sometimes Chi Yunxi wondered.
Her sister used to send money back home every month.
But why hadn’t she come back all this time…
Until just now…
Thinking about her sister’s suppressed sounds…
It couldn’t be that she was being manipulated…
No, no!
Chi Yunxi quickly shook her head.
She couldn’t bear to think further.
It couldn’t be true!
Chi Yunxi’s roommate from the upper bunk felt guilty and said, “I’m sorry, Yunxi.”
“It’s all my fault…”
“If it wasn’t for the part-time job I found…”
Chi Yunxi took a deep breath and said, “It’s okay.”
“It’s all in the past.”
Although she said it lightly,
trying to comfort her roommate,
she couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.
That was ten thousand yuan…
She and her roommate had initially planned to find a part-time job during the vacation.
But they ended up getting scammed while in a daze.
They signed a loan contract and bought work supplies.
But after only a few days of work, the debt collectors started calling.
They had borrowed only a thousand yuan,
and it had suddenly turned into three thousand.
They even threatened that if they reported it to the police,
people would come to their school and create a scene,
continuing until they dropped out.
Neither of them dared to speak up.
Under this cycle of debt and interest,
within a week, it had become ten thousand yuan.
Her roommate couldn’t bear it any longer and confessed to her family.
They scraped together ten thousand yuan,
but she received a scolding.
As for Chi Yunxi, she didn’t dare to tell her family…
They had no choice but to turn to their sister.
Fortunately, the money would arrive tomorrow.
They would give it to the scammers,
get the contract back,
and hopefully put an end to this ordeal…
Chi Yunxi’s roommate from the upper bunk said, “Let’s hope there won’t be any surprises tomorrow…”
Chi Yunxi was puzzled, “Surprises?”
“What kind of surprises?”
Her roommate from the upper bunk whispered, “You’re not from Jinghai.”
“You wouldn’t know.”
“My dad looked into it.”
“These loan sharks who scam people…”
“They’re under Dao Ge.”
“This Dao Ge suddenly emerged in the past few years.”
“He’s the head of the largest underworld organization in Jinghai…”
“And also…”
“There are rumors…”
“That this Dao Ge…”
“Is actually part of the Strong Prosperity Group…”
Chi Yunxi couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “No way?!”
“The Strong Prosperity Group?”
“Our school is funded by the Strong Prosperity Group, isn’t it?”
Was the school in cahoots with the underworld organization?
Chi Yunxi’s roommate whispered, “It’s all information we gathered.”
“It might not be entirely accurate.”
“But we’ve gathered enough money.”
“We should be fine.”
However, deep down, they were still anxious.
After all, the more they found out, the more afraid they became.
Especially with the rampant underworld organization in the area,
it was only natural to be scared.
Chi Yunxi nodded, “You’re right.”
“We should be fine.”
“Now, get some sleep.”
“It’s already past midnight…”
With a heavy heart, Chi Yunxi lay down…
Northern Myanmar.
Gawe Town.
Villa.
Chi Yunmeng watched as the number on her phone disconnected.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No more suppression.
But at the same time, she felt a bit defiant:
“Damn it!”
“You…”
Suddenly, Chi Yunmeng clenched her teeth tightly,
not wanting to make a sound,
as if she were resisting Zhao Renzhou.
Zhao Renzhou’s tone was somewhat playful,
“Will your little sister on the phone ever think,”
“That her dearest sister…”
“Is actually…”
Chi Yunmeng couldn’t help but blush in shame,
“You… bastard…”
“Ah…”
Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly,
“Is your little sister short on money?”
“Is that amount enough?”
Chi Yunmeng couldn’t help but frown,
biting her lip tightly.
She felt that something was off about today’s events,
but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
If there were someone in her family who was ill,
not telling her to avoid worrying about her would make sense.
But…
She was still contemplating something.
However, Chi Yunmeng soon found herself unable to concentrate and think clearly….
A night of turmoil…
