Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 491 The Best Solution for Being Heavily in Debt

Completely disregarding Yifei's well-being, everyone burst into laughter. They laughed until everyone's stomachs ached before the laughter in room 3601 finally stopped.

No one originally intended to laugh this much, but Curry Sauce's comment was just too damaging.

While people who can outwit and outmaneuver the air are rare, they've certainly heard of it.

But this is the first time in the family that someone has ever lost a battle of wits with thin air.

Anyone who sees this will laugh and make wild guesses.

It wasn't until everyone gradually regained their energy that Ziqiao and Guangu, who had been laughing non-stop, finally understood what had happened.

After hearing the truth, Ziqiao raised an eyebrow dismissively: "Turns out it was just another misunderstanding."

"no way."

Nanfeng, who had been laughing the loudest the whole time, said weakly, "Nobody expected that no one would tell the participants about a competition. This is just ridiculous!"

Ziqiao turned to look at Yifei: "Yifei, I'm curious, when you decided to compete with me, didn't you think about confirming my opinion?"

"What if I don't want to compete with you at all?"

At this moment, Yifei was pale and leaning against the sofa with lifeless eyes. She hadn't laughed once the whole time, but she looked more tired than the others.

Having just experienced the biggest social crisis of her life, Yifei waved her hand listlessly, not wanting to answer Ziqiao's question at all.

However, there is really no need to answer this question. After all, no one in the apartment thought that Ziqiao would refuse Yifei's challenge, because he is inherently someone who can't stand being challenged.

Because of this, everyone thought the competition was a done deal, and then... none of them went to inform Ziqiao.

For fear of being mistaken for spies from the opposing team, no one asked the two about their plans and arrangements for the match.

If it weren't for the fact that the competition showed no signs of starting and Meijia was incredibly bored, she wouldn't have asked Yifei this morning.

Of course, another reason is that our gossip expert and big talker, Tang Youyou, has been away from the apartment these past few days; otherwise, such an outrageous misunderstanding would never have occurred.

Seeing Yifei's dejected appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud, their laughter filled with schadenfreude.

You should know that social silliness is a characteristic of Love Apartment, so don't miss it if you're passing by.

Almost everyone in the apartment has had a social mishap once or twice, and people like Zi Qiao have had their social mishaps over and over again. Now it's Yi Fei's turn.

Anyway, you get used to dying in society after a while.

Seeing that Yifei didn't want to answer his question, Ziqiao shrugged and didn't take it seriously.

He originally came just to confirm how many innocent children had bought his godfather's useless things, but he never expected to witness Yifei's social death.

Fortunately, I've learned most of what I need to know.

"A jumble of amulets, a box of cosmetics that's not far from their expiration date... Yifei, what did you buy again?"

Ziqiao's question immediately made Yifei, who was already dead inside, look even worse.

She was already embarrassed enough. If she were to tell so many people that she had bought a tight leather outfit and a bunch of contraceptives, she would be so embarrassed that she might as well just die.

Yifei finally spoke, pretending to be very casual, saying, "No, nothing, just some useless things."

"I knew they were a bunch of useless bastards."

Ziqiao pursed his lips and looked at the three people who had bought things: "I'll just ask one more question, do you want to return the things?"

"If you'd like, I can try to find a way, but I can't guarantee it will succeed."

Yu Mo thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Let's forget it. Although I definitely can't use up all of this cosmetics by myself, it wouldn't be a waste to share it with everyone."

Yifei replied decisively, "I don't need to return it. I think it's fine as it is."

Just kidding, if she were to return the goods now, she might as well just tell Ziqiao what she actually bought.

Anyway, she and Yu Mo had already discussed it and decided to give all those random things to Zi Qiao as a birthday present.

Thinking about it that way, it's a way of making the best use of resources.

When Zhang Wei heard Zi Qiao's question, he proudly puffed out his chest and said, "I didn't buy anything from your godfather. I paid a deposit, a deposit!"

"If I pass the bar exam this time, I will buy those lucky charms that bring me good luck."

"If I don't pass..."

"If you don't pass, it just means you're really unlucky."

"Then my dad will easily trick you into paying another deposit, and then bring back a few pounds of amulets."

Ziqiao chuckled and said, "Of course, that's on the condition that you can still find my old man by then."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Wei was stunned. He asked in a panic, "You mean your godfather will cheat me out of my deposit? That's illegal!"

"He wasn't trying to swindle your deposit; after all, that would be too stupid."

Ziqiao shrugged, showing no regard for the father-son relationship, and laid bare all of Dumas's elaborate scheme: "If you want your deposit back, you first have to contact someone else, right?"

"If he is abroad and you don't have any friends, or even if you do have friends, there is a time difference, so it's normal that you can't contact him."

"When you're lucky enough to get in touch with him, you'll have to return these amulets first if you want your deposit back, right?"

"At this point, you either have to wait for him to return to China, which seems like an indefinite wait, or you have to send the things out."

"After you send those amulets over... you know how international express delivery is, whether they can even receive them is another matter."

"Moreover, my father has no fixed abode and travels all over the world. When he receives the amulet is up to him."

"Even if they receive it, it's inconvenient for the recipient to transfer money from overseas, and then..."

"stop!"

Zhang Wei interrupted Zi Qiao's follow-up: "Simply put, you were incredibly sincere in your attitude, but the process was incredibly complicated and dragged on until I got tired of wasting any more time and energy trying to get my deposit back, right?"

Ziqiao nodded and gave Zhang Wei a thumbs up: "Zhang Wei, you're very quick to learn."

Zhang Wei was already regretting paying the deposit. Clinging to his last hope, he asked, "I'll just ask you one question: if I keep insisting on getting my deposit back, when will I get it back?"

"Forehead……"

Ziqiao suddenly asked, "What year is it this year?"

"2015".

"Then you'll probably have to wait until 2025."

"2025?!?!"

Zhang Wei was shocked upon hearing this: "Are you sure the RMB was still valuable back then?"

Ziqiao shrugged: "Money isn't worth much these days."

"Too."

Zhang Wei responded instinctively, and then he grabbed Zi Qiao's arm tightly.

"Ziqiao, is Godfather really that cruel?"

Ziqiao gave a knowing smile: "That depends on whether he sees you as a friend or a sucker."

Zhang Wei hesitated for a long time, still not daring to gamble on what he really meant to Alexandre Dumas.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while. When Zhang Wei raised his head again, his face was full of a fawning and obsequious smile.

Zhang Wei quickly got up and fawned over Zi Qiao, massaging his shoulders and legs.

"Ziqiao, as the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. If my godfather really doesn't return my deposit... can you give me my money back?"

Ziqiao was enjoying Zhang Wei's service when he heard Zhang Wei's question and raised an eyebrow.

"The son pays for the father's debts... There's some truth to that."

"Although he is not my biological father, our relationship is closer than that of a biological father and son, so I should repay his debts in that respect."

Zhang Wei was overjoyed: "That's great, Ziqiao! I knew you were not only filial, but also loyal and righteous. You really are my best friend."

Ziqiao tilted his head and looked at Zhang Wei with a smile, adding with a slight upturn of his lips, "But!"

"What 'but'? There are no 'buts'!"

Zhang Wei's heart, which had just settled, was gripped again by Zi Qiao. He said nervously, "You just said 'but,' and isn't 'although' only followed by 'but'?"

Ziqiao, with a roguish grin, crossed his legs and asked, "So, do you still want to hear what I have to say?"

"explain!"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said.

Ziqiao chuckled and casually emptied all his pockets.

He pointed to his empty pockets and said, "I certainly won't default on my godfather's debt, but you know my financial situation is just so-so, and I still have a lot of debt to pay off."

"Even if I have the money to pay off my debts, there should still be a first-come, first-served principle, right?"

"Here's what we'll do: you take a number and wait in line. When it's your turn, I'll definitely pay back the deposit your godfather owes you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei stopped massaging Zi Qiao's shoulders and legs. He looked up at Zi Qiao to confirm, "So when do I have to wait this time?"

"Forehead……"

Ziqiao pretended to do some calculations for a while, then smiled broadly at Zhang Wei.

"Not long, probably around 2051."

"2051?"

Zhang Wei finally smiled with relief: "Lu Ziqiao, you're messing with me, aren't you?"

"I'll strangle you!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he suddenly stood up and pinned Zi Qiao down.

"This deposit is my hard-earned money. How could you have the nerve to cheat me out of my hard-earned savings?"

"You say you're drowning in debt, then go sell your ass, you bastard!!!"

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao's eyes widened in astonishment: "Zhang Wei, are you crazy? How can someone who studied law say something like that?"

"I don't care!"

Zhang Wei was on top of Zi Qiao, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him violently: "You'd better find a way to get my deposit back, you bastard!!!"

Ziqiao originally wanted to tease Zhang Wei some more, but he didn't expect Zhang Wei's reaction to be so intense. If he kept shaking him like that, Zhang Wei would shake him so hard that the yolk would be broken!

He could only close his eyes and shout helplessly, "Zhang Wei, have you gone stupid from studying so much? Didn't I ask you from the beginning if you wanted to return the stuff?!"

"what?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback when he heard this, and then he remembered that Zi Qiao had indeed asked them if they needed to return the things they bought, and if they wanted to return them, he could help them find a way.

Realizing he had misunderstood Ziqiao, Zhang Wei lowered his head and chuckled awkwardly, "Ziqiao~~~"

"roll!"

Ziqiao gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "What are you doing sitting on me like that, you big man? Are you trying to sell your ass too?"

"oh."

Zhang Wei quickly got off Zi Qiao, feeling that their posture was a bit too intimate.

Ziqiao quickly got up, straightened his disheveled clothes, and asked in an annoyed tone.

"Just how much deposit did my godfather take from you to drive you to this state?"

"Two hundred and fifty."

Ziqiao muttered subconsciously, "Oh, two thousand five... wait!"

He looked at Zhang Wei in disbelief: "Say it again, how much was the deposit again?"

"Two hundred and fifty."

"Damn it! Zhang Wei, you're such an idiot!"

Furious, Ziqiao got up and left. Now he understood why his father had said he was practically giving it away.

"no."

Zhang Wei looked bewildered: "Why did Ziqiao just leave like that?"

What do you think?

Nanfeng, both amused and exasperated, pointed to the numerous amulets on the coffee table that could be sold by weight: "Zhang Wei, even if you set up a stall downstairs in the apartment building tonight and sold all these things, you'd earn more than 250 yuan."

"I know."

Zhang Wei nodded: "But I only paid a deposit, I don't have ownership of these things, how can I sell them?"

"well……"

Everyone sighed helplessly, "You're quite legally conscious now, aren't you?"

Then why did you just make Ziqiao sell his butt?

Nanfeng gave up on talking to Zhang Wei and said to everyone, clutching his stomach, "Let's go have lunch together, I'm starving."

"Me too."

"it is good."

"Come on, come on, I know a newly opened restaurant that's really good."

Everyone got up and left amidst their chatter, leaving only a bewildered Zhang Wei turning to look at Guan Gu, who had already eaten and drunk his fill.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Zhang Wei was completely baffled: "I paid a deposit, so I didn't have any ownership of the items in the first place!"

I'm coming
