Chapter 536 True Friends

Cui Changjia hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay, where are you? I’ll go find you.”

“I’m at a newsstand near the public toilet in People’s Park. This is the pay phone. Sister, I’ll be waiting for you here.”

“Then I’ll talk about it when I get there.”

The girl cried, “Thank you, sister.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t cry yet, wait until I get over there and talk.”

Cui Changjia thought to himself that this girl must be in trouble, otherwise she would not have called her.

There are several public toilets in People’s Park. After she arrived, she asked several old men and women who were exercising there before she found the newsstand next to the public toilet the girl mentioned.

When Cui Changjia arrived, the girl was squatting next to a pay phone with her head down. Next to her stood a gray-haired old man, lecturing her.

“You’ve been waiting for so long, are you coming or not?”

“What if he doesn’t come?”

“Don’t blame me for the phone bill. I can’t make much money from my small business in a day.”

The girl didn’t look up or respond, she just lowered her head and let the old man lecture her.

Cui Changjia looked at her and sighed. It was obvious that the girl was brought up in pampered condition at home, yet she was being bullied by others like this. How sad would her parents be if they knew about this?

But, there is no rainbow without wind and rain.

“Uncle,” Cui Changjia called him, “how much is the phone bill?”

The girl raised her head in surprise when she heard Cui Changjia’s voice. “Sister!” She stood up suddenly and ran to Cui Changjia, her eyes red. “You’re here.”

The white-haired old man breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cui Changjia, “Your sister is really something. She told me she had no money only after she called me.”

Cui Changjia was surprised. How come she didn’t even have two dollars?
Cui Changjia took out his wallet, took out two yuan and handed it to the old man, saying, “The child was angry with his family and ran away without money. Here, thank you.”

The white-haired old man took the money and walked towards the newsstand, saying, “Oh, kids nowadays have really bad tempers.”

The girl was still dressed the same way as she got off the train that day, with a white down jacket and a red wool scarf, but she was bright and cute that day. When I saw her again today, she looked like an eggplant hit by frost, with a dull face and even her snow-white down jacket turned gray.

After paying the phone bill, Cui Changjia took the girl towards the parking lot.

The girl followed Cui Changjia and said timidly, “Sister, I haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon. I’m very hungry.”

Cui Changjia paused and said, “I’ll take you to dinner first.”

There is a KFC near the People’s Park, and Cui Changjia took her there and ordered a set meal. The little girl ate while crying, which made everyone in the restaurant look at them.

Cui Changjia felt very uncomfortable being stared at, so she packed the food and went to the car.

After the girl felt better, Cui Changjia talked to her and found out the whole story.

The girl’s name is Dong Shuyue.

Her name comes from Yan Jidao’s “Qing Ping Le” which says “Lying down and listening to the sparse rain on the parasol trees, the moon is hazy after the rain.” From the name, we can tell that Dong Shuyue should have a good background.

After she came, her boyfriend was very happy and she had a great time with her bestie.

After attending the job fair and interviewing two companies, she felt that both were average, so she wanted to go back. At this time, her best friend Xu Yiran insisted that her boyfriend Chen Zhou treat them to a big meal. Chen Zhou, for the sake of face, booked a western restaurant and treated them to steak.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yiran brought her boyfriend and five other girls from the dormitory along. They ate and drank together and ended up spending nearly two thousand yuan.

Chen Zhou’s family situation is average, and he originally lived on scholarships. Xu Yiran brought several people over, and he couldn’t pay the bill, so Dong Shuyue had to pay.

Although Dong Shuyue’s family was rich, she was a student after all, and she had been in the state capital for several days, and had spent a lot of money. She emptied her pockets, and Chen Zhou borrowed two hundred from the people in the dormitory to pay the bill.

Afterwards, Chen Zhou complained and accused Dong Shuyue in various ways, saying that she would not refuse Xu Yiran and that she booked such a high-end restaurant. The two had a very heated argument.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yiran also complained that Dong Shuyue did not bring enough money, which made her lose face.

Dong Shuyue was disheartened. After following Xu Yiran back to school, she wanted to borrow money from her to buy a ticket back to Baizhuang City. However, Xu Yiran not only said that she had no money and asked her to ask her parents for it, but also ignored her.

Dong Shuyue slept in Xu Yiran’s dormitory for the whole night. She packed her luggage and went out early this morning, only to find that her cell phone had no credit left.

She didn’t want to cause trouble for her parents, so she thought of Cui Changjia and found a public phone for her to help.

Dong Shuyue’s eyes were red from crying. “Sister, when we were on the train, you told me to pretend that I had no money and borrow money from Yiran. I was disdainful at the time. I didn’t even have the money to go back, but she refused to lend me money!”

Cui Changjia asked, “So what are you going to do? Break up with your boyfriend? Or continue?”

Dong Shuyue took out her cell phone and placed it in front of Cui Changjia. “Sister, if they were looking for me, they would have discovered that my phone was turned off. If they were worried about me, they would have topped up my phone bill. But it’s already past ten o’clock, and there’s no movement on my phone!”

“What about you and your friend? How are you going to deal with them in the future?”

“We don’t get along very well anymore, so let’s just leave it like that.” Dong Shuyue finally understood after what she had experienced, and said seriously, “Sister, I know that a true friend won’t be like Yiran. I will be careful when making friends in the future.”

Cui Changjia nodded. It seemed that Dong Shuyue was not completely naive. She still had some intelligence.

“I’ll buy you a ticket and you can take the bus back by yourself, or do you want your parents to pick you up?”

“Sister, I want to go back by plane,” Dong Shuyue said quickly, “Sister, don’t worry, I will transfer the money to you as soon as I get back.”

She really wanted to go home quickly and never stay here to see people who made her sick again!
“It’s okay, come on, I’ll take you to check out the air tickets.”

Cui Changjia took Dong Shuyue to the nearest travel agency to look for air tickets, but there was only one flight to Baizhuang City in three days.

The nearest flight is at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. After thinking it over, Dong Shuyue decided to take tomorrow’s flight back. She couldn’t bear to wait seven or eight hours to get home alone.

After buying the plane ticket and having a full meal, Dong Shuyue felt much better. She wrote down the money Cui Changjia gave her for recharging her phone and buying the plane ticket, and would transfer the money to her bank card as soon as she got home.

Cui Changjia took Dong Shuyue back to the factory. She had nowhere to go, so he asked her to stay here for one night and sent her to the airport early the next morning.

It was not until she saw Cui Changjia’s working state that Dong Shuyue understood why this big sister she knew was so cool and wise. She was actually a big boss!
