Wang Wei blurted out, "But I still have an interview!"

"For you, this 300 yuan is just entertainment expenses for buying a mobile phone, something you can do without. But for me, it's the key to changing my destiny."

"I have no background or connections. All I want is a nice outfit, a nice pair of shoes, and to be treated fairly just this once!"

Chapter 304 Justice

Jiang Xiaoguo retorted angrily, "Fairness? You're talking to me about fairness? If you really want fairness, go buy your own shoes and clothes with your own money. Besides, instead of complaining about unfairness here and having others constantly pressuring you to pay back your money, you should hurry up and pass the Chartered Financial Analyst exam!"

As the argument escalated, a crowd gathered to watch, with many pointing and whispering, and some college students, eager for a good show, recording videos on their phones.

Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao had never seen anything like this before, and quickly advised, "Alright, Xiao Guo, let's go!"

"Xiao Guo, stop talking, let's go back!"

Jiang Xiaoguo retorted indignantly, "Why? Why should I be the one to leave? I lent her money, am I wrong?"

"Xiao Guo," Duan Jiabao and Liang Shuang still wanted to persuade her.

"You're not wrong!" As the voice came, a tall figure walked over.

Jiang Xiaoguo looked up and was surprised to see her ex-boyfriend Zhao Dachuan. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Li Mu stopped Wang Wei, who was trying to slip away, and the tall, thin girl next to her in a floral dress, who was probably her roommate.

He smiled and said, "Don't go! The more we discuss, the clearer things become. What kind of person would you be if you left now without getting to the bottom of this?"

Wang Wei was somewhat angry when she saw Li Mu blocking their way: "Who are you? Why won't you let us go?"

Li Mu said, "I'm not stopping you from leaving! I just want to get to the bottom of things. If you know you're in the wrong and want to leave, I won't stop you."

Wang Wei became agitated and pointed at Li Mu, Jiang Xiaoguo, Luo Yan, and Duan Jiabao, saying, "You people who wear designer brands don't understand at all. You were born with good luck, so what's wrong with giving it to me once?"

People are used to sympathizing with the weak. In the eyes of those who don't know the situation, Wang Wei is the weak one, while Li Mu becomes the villain.

He didn't care and smiled, saying, "What we wear is none of your business. Look at all these people around you, there are plenty of them dressed better than you. To you, are all these people bad people, without any compassion?"

"Otherwise, everyone should chip in to buy you clothes and compensate you. That way you'll feel more at ease, right?"

Wang Wei said aggrievedly, "How can you talk to me like that? Is it wrong for me to buy a piece of clothing?"

Li Mu said, "That's how I talk. Don't you know what you're thinking? Otherwise, why are you owing money and not paying it back? And why are you so self-righteous about it?"

Wang Wei said, "How could I owe money and not pay it back? You rich people have no idea about my difficulties. What's wrong with letting me off the hook?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "That's your logic. You owe Jiang Xiaoguo money, don't you? You can call me a rich person, but what kind of rich person is Jiang Xiaoguo? She comes from a single-parent family, her family background is average, and she's not much better off than you."

"When have you ever seen her complain about being poor, or refuse to pay back money she owes?"

"You think she's richer than you? That's because she's a good student. Back then, she got the highest score in the entire college entrance examination at South China University of Finance and Economics. During her university years, she was ranked first in her grade for three consecutive years and received the national scholarship for three consecutive years."

"Jiang Xiaoguo is not wealthy, just like you, but she lives a good life by relying on her studies and her own abilities."

"And you! All you do is complain about unfairness and blame society. Why don't you think about your own problems?"

Wang Wei was stunned. She paused for a moment, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "You...you all look down on me, you all bully me. Jiang Xiaoguo has so many scholarships, what's wrong with letting me have one? Why are you being so aggressive and pushing me like this?"

Li Mu said, "I didn't force you, I'm just telling the truth."

"Furthermore, don't take Jiang Xiaoguo for granted and try to gain sympathy everywhere you go."

“When you were in trouble, Jiang Xiaoguo lent you money without hesitation, and you still say she has no compassion. If she had no compassion, none of this would have happened. If she hadn’t lent you money, she wouldn’t have had to ask for the money back.”

"It is precisely because she is compassionate and of good character that she took the initiative to help you lend money when she saw that you were in trouble. This is a good deed, this is positive energy. You cannot let down this kindness, and you cannot morally blackmail this kindness so that good people do good deeds without being rewarded."

"You're playing the victim and trying to gain sympathy by slandering Jiang Xiaoguo. You think you can make a little profit, but you're actually stifling kindness. In the future, when Jiang Xiaoguo encounters someone in the same predicament, after your experience, will she help them or not?"

"I see now, you and she are in cahoots. You bully me, and it's not enough that Jiang Xiaoguo bullies me alone, you have to step on my head too!" Wang Wei shouted indignantly, her face contorted with rage.

Li Mu looked at Wang Wei, who was indignant.

"How did I bully you? And how did Jiang Xiaoguo bully you?"

"The cause and effect of this matter is very clear. You encountered difficulties, Jiang Xiaoguo lent you money, you promised to repay the money, but when the time came, you reneged on the promise and instead said that the person who lent you the money bullied you."

"What kind of twisted logic is this?"

"Don't bring up the rich person. You should be the one to benefit. Jiang Xiaoguo isn't rich at all. She earned her money through hard work."

"She was just trying to help you out of kindness, without asking for interest or gratitude. But after lending you money, she became the target of your hatred. She's now being accused of playing the victim, trying to gain sympathy, and deliberately slandering her."

"What do you have to be angry about! What do you have to be furious about! Jiang Xiaoguo is the real victim, the one who is truly wronged."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Jiang Xiaoguo's eyes instantly reddened. No one had understood her, no one had spoken up for her; even Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao had advised her to let it go. Jiang Xiaoguo felt extremely wronged. Only Li Mu spoke up for her and cleared her name.

Wang Wei was momentarily stunned. People around her began to point and whisper about her, and public opinion had shifted.

While people sympathize with the weak, they sympathize even more with good people, especially good people who do good deeds but are slandered.

"You bully people!"

Li Mu curled his lip: "Tch, what are you playing at, pretending to be weak and therefore right? You're a college student, aren't you!"

Seeing Wang Wei's aggrieved look, her tall roommate couldn't bear it anymore.

He asked Li Mu, "Who are you? Does this have anything to do with you?"

Li Mu said, "What's it to you?"

"I am Wang Wei's roommate."

"I am Jiang Xiaoguo's ex-boyfriend."

"I knew it, there must be a reason why you're so biased towards Jiang Xiaoguo."

Li Mu laughed and said, "I side with Jiang Xiaoguo because she's right; she's on the side of justice. But you, jumping in at a time like this—are you and Wang Wei really that close?"

The girl replied, "Sure! We'll naturally get along very well."

Li Mu asked, "Since you two are so close, and Wang Wei is in such a difficult situation, how much money did you lend her?"

The girl was momentarily speechless.

Li smiled and said, "It seems you didn't lend her any money. You two are such good friends, she's in such a difficult situation, and I see you're financially well-off, so why didn't you lend her money? You're not even as well off as Jiang Xiaoguo, who doesn't know her well."

The girl stammered, "You..."

Li Mu said, "What? Do you want me to give you another chance to show your sisterly affection?"

"Since you two are so close, why don't you pay off the money she owes Jiang Xiaoguo for her?"

The girl opened her mouth, then turned her head away, unsure how to respond.

Li Mu laughed and said, "It seems that your sisterly affection is not worth more than three hundred yuan. You talk so nicely, but you are just plastic sisters."

The tall girl's face instantly turned red, her eyes reddened, and she ran away crying.

Wang Wei wanted to go with them, but Li Mu stopped her, saying, "Before you leave, pay back Jiang Xiaoguo's money."

Wang Wei glanced around, still trying to gain sympathy, but everyone looked at her with disgust, as if Li Mu wouldn't let her leave without paying.

He took three hundred yuan out of his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"Give it back!"

Just as he was about to leave, Li Mu stopped him.

The voice said coldly, "Pick it up and return it yourself."

Startled by Li Mu's cold gaze, Wang Wei hesitated for a moment, then quickly picked up the money and returned it to Jiang Xiaoguo before covering her mouth and slinking away.

Chapter 305 A sucker or willingly accepting it?

With the matter resolved, Jiang Xiaoguo not only got her revenge but also recovered her money, putting her in a great mood.

Looking at her ex-boyfriend, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, Jiang Xiaoguo blushed slightly, her heart pounding wildly.

"Thank you... thank you, Da Chuan. If it weren't for you..."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Why are you being so polite with me! We know each other well. Although you usually seem stingy and like to use your little tricks, you are still as kind as ever."

"Not only should kindness not be treated this way, but as my ex-girlfriend, I can't stand by and watch you be bullied."

After hearing Li Mu's words, Jiang Xiaoguo didn't know whether to be happy or embarrassed. More than two years after their breakup, she found that her ex-boyfriend had become a bit sarcastic.

"Anyway, thank you."

At this moment, Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao approached with curiosity, looking Li Mu up and down. They had only heard Jiang Xiaoguo tell them through gritted teeth how he cheated on them and how heartless he was, as if he were a complete scumbag and villain.

Today, upon seeing them, their performance was surprisingly good. When these two homebodies encountered this situation, they could only run away and advise Jiang Xiaoguo to let it go.

As a result, the other party immediately sided with Jiang Xiaoguo, reasoning with her at length. Not only did they resolve Xiaoguo's predicament and establish a moral high ground, but they also got the money back. This also exposed Wang Wei's pretense of seeking sympathy and feigning helplessness.

It gives people a genuine sense of security.

"Xiao Guo, aren't you going to introduce him to us?" Duan Jiabao quietly tugged at Jiang Xiao Guo. Although she already knew Li Mu's identity, she and Luo Yan still looked curious.

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed and stammered, "This is Zhao Dachuan, my ex...you know him, I've told you about him."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You should have heard of me, Xiao Guo's ex-boyfriend. I'm sure she's cursed me a lot in the two years since we broke up, so I won't introduce myself."

Jiang Xiaoguo blushed and lowered her head. Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan were also a little embarrassed. After being cheated on, not only did Jiang Xiaoguo curse, but the two of them often echoed her curses.

Li Mu seemed oblivious to their expressions and continued, "What are your names, these two students?"
