Chapter 166: The Gap
This is the gap between people, Tang Ying knew for the first time where the gap between himself and Song Yibai was.
Not just financially, but spiritually as well.
Tang Ying finally chose to take the money, after all, the problem of survival was imminent.
As for the money, she can slowly work and pay it back to Song Yibai.
Although this may be a little slow, Tang Ying secretly swore that he would definitely pay off the arrears.
Song Yibai went back to school and told her friends about it, and her friends lamented that Song Yibai was too stupid to even see through such a simple scam.
"Yibai, this kind of drama won't even be fooled by a three-year-old child, okay, you still believe it, what should I say to you?"
"No, I believe her, she doesn't look like a bad person."
Song Yibai didn't believe that a liar could have such powerful acting skills and could completely deceive her.
And when she remembered Tang Ying's crying at that time, she felt that she couldn't be a liar.
Although he has never received news from Tang Ying, Song Yibai is still so insistent.
But the capital of country E is still too small after all, and once when Song Yibai went out, he happened to see Tang Ying working for a fast food restaurant on the street.
She spoke a proficient e-language, where there was a hint of a newcomer.
But at that time, it was only half a month since Tang Ying cheated Song Yibai of his money.
Only then did Song Yibai understand that she seemed to have been deceived, and that liar was so clever that she was convinced.
The angry Song Yibai walked directly to Tang Ying's side and patted her on the shoulder.
When Tang Ying turned his head and saw Song Yibai, everyone was stupid, and his stiff arms still maintained the posture of handing out the leaflets.
"I'm happy to have lied to me, haven't I?"
Song Yibai looked at Tang Ying in front of him with disappointment, and regretted why he was so simple, like a fool.
Tang Ying reacted at this time, shook his head busily and then spoke:
"Can you give me a little time, when I finish handing out the flyers and get my paycheck......"
"I gave you so much money, did you spend it so quickly?"
Song Yibai almost laughed, who did she want to show this poor student now?
Did she still think she would be naΓ―ve to believe her? Who will fall in the same place a second time?
Tang Ying looked at Song Yibai's appearance and knew in her heart that Song Yibai must be very angry.
In other words, if someone else deceived himself like this, he would never be as calm as Song Yibai.
Tang Ying sighed: "Then at least let me go and talk to the boss, if you don't feel at ease, you can go with me." β
Their trust has now fallen into a negative number, and Tang Ying knows that it is not realistic to let Song Yibai wait for him here.
Sure enough, after Tang Ying made such a request, Song Yibai nodded.
She wants to see how big Tang Ying's play will be.
followed Tang Ying into the fast food restaurant, and watched her explain to the boss that she was going to leave early.
was reprimanded by his boss and didn't get a penny of his salary.
It stands to reason that Song Yibai should be happy, but Song Yibai can't be happy no matter what.
There was still a little guilt in his heart, and this guilt made Song Yibai calm down a lot.
After returning from being reprimanded by the boss, Tang Ying still showed a smile at Song Yibai.
"This side of the matter has been settled, let's go."
Song Yibai silently followed Tang Ying and left, and Tang Ying was not in a hurry to explain to Song Yibai.
The two walked all the way to a park, and Tang Yingcai turned to look at Song Yibai.
"I know you want to ask about the previous thing, so can you give me a chance to explain?"
Song Yibai didn't directly embarrass Tang Ying, and Tang Ying was already very grateful.
If Song Yibai had made trouble directly at Tang Ying's place of work just now, Tang Ying might not even want to find a part-time job in this neighborhood in the future.
What Tang Ying wants now is just a chance to explain, and a chance to return the money to Song Yibai.
But Song Yibai, who has been deceived once, how could he easily believe what Tang Ying said?
"Do you think I'll ever be fooled by you again?"
"No, because I'm not going to lie to you this time."
Tang Ying smiled, but Song Yibai just felt that she was strong on the outside and capable on the inside, as if she was being strong.
This should obviously not be an emotion that appears in a liar, and such a complex feeling makes Song Yibai at a loss.
"Forget it, you can say it."
"I lied to you last time, I'm sorry."
Tang Ying said as he took out a wad of money with different amounts from his bag, but he could see that it was carefully sorted out.
"That's all I have now, I'll pay it back to you first, and please give me a little more time for the rest, okay, I'll definitely give it all back to you."
Tang Ying looked at Song Yibai a little nervously, she didn't know if Song Yibai would believe what she said.
But this is really all Tang Ying has, and she doesn't even have her own food money left.
Looking at the handful of change, Song Yibai's mood suddenly became a little complicated.
Tang Ying is obviously a liar, but she always feels that she has something unspeakable.
"Why?"
"Huh?"
Tang Ying didn't understand what Song Yibai meant, so she tilted her head unconsciously and looked at Song Yibai seriously.
Song Yibai sighed helplessly: "I said why, why did you lie to me, you are obviously not a bad person." β
"I'm the bad guy, I lied to you, but if you want, I can tell you the story of the bad guy." Tang Ying smiled.
Seeing that Song Yibai had no intention of objecting, he pulled her to sit down on a bench in the park.
"You must not know that there are a group of parents in China who have done everything they can to let their children go abroad."
Tang Ying was born in such a family, her parents were not wealthy, but they hoped that their daughter would become a phoenix.
spent all his savings just to send his daughter to study abroad.
Even if the original house is sold for this reason, the old couple will not hesitate to squeeze into a rental house of more than ten square meters.
Therefore, Tang Ying's pressure is much greater than others, she not only has excellent grades and cannot disappoint her parents, but also cannot let her parents know her financial predicament.
Whenever they called, Tang Ying would tell them that he was doing well.
Part-time pay is high, and they don't have to worry.
Every time they wanted to send money to Tang Ying, Tang Ying always refused.
Because looking at such parents, Tang Ying couldn't open his mouth to ask them for even a penny.
She wanted her parents to live a good life, so she could only work and study hard.
I tried to return to China one day earlier, but even that was not enough.
"My part-time salary could barely support my living expenses and rent, but last month there was an accident and I didn't pay a single salary."
"If I don't pay the rent, I'll be kicked out." Tang Ying couldn't let this happen.
The small place she rented was already the cheapest house she could find.
In order to survive, Tang Ying could only make this decision, but he didn't expect to meet Song Yibai.
"I'm really sorry, but if you're still angry, you can do whatever you want."
The worst result was that Song Yibai called the police, and then she was arrested and taken to the police station, and maybe she would be directly repatriated back to China.
Song Yibai was speechless, she never thought that Tang Ying would deceive herself because of this.
"Is this true?"
"If you don't believe me, check this out."
Tang Ying was not angry, and took out his ID card and handed it to Song Yibai.
Song Yibai took it over and looked at it suspiciously, only to find that Tang Ying was actually from the same school as himself.
Because it is not a department, Song Yibai did not know Tang Ying before.
Tang Ying said in a hoarse voice: "I'm really sorry for the gaffe in front of you last time, maybe I was too tired during that time, so I couldn't control it." β
Song Yibai still understands the situation of Chinese people in country E, and it is not uncommon for such things to be discriminated against and isolated.
It's just that because Song Yibai's family background is better, these things didn't happen to Song Yibai.
Now seeing Tang Ying's living example, Song Yibai can't help but sigh.
If he was in Tang Ying's position, what would he do?
Seeing that Song Yibai didn't speak for a long time, Tang Ying thought that she didn't believe her words, which was normal.
What Song Yibai wants to do, she has no objection.
"You don't have to pay back the money."
Song Yibai is not short of this money, all she wants is the truth.
Now that she knows the truth, she can't say anything like asking Tang Ying to pay back the money.
But Tang Ying shook his head stubbornly: "No, I have to pay back this money, this is what I borrowed from you, if you borrow it, you will pay it back, right?" β
Tang Ying has her own pride, otherwise she would not have silently saved money and wanted to return it to Song Yibai.
Now that Song Yibai said such a thing, Tang Ying would never agree.
Tang Ying insisted that he would return the money to Song Yibai no matter what.
Maybe after paying off the money, she can become friends with Song Yibai.
She didn't covet Song Yibai for anything, she just felt that Song Yibai was a very good person and a person she could treat sincerely.
Song Yibai looked at Tang Ying's expression, knowing that she would not compromise, and thought that she needed an assistant recently.
"That's good, if you come to work for me, it will be regarded as a debt."
"Really, that's great."
Tang Ying's eyes lit up when she heard the news.
nodded busily in agreement with Song Yibai's request, and even forgot about the fact that he still had to earn living expenses.
Fortunately, Song Yibai didn't forget this incident: "My parents helped me rent a house here, and there is an empty room in it, you can move here, it should be better than where you live now." β
Tang Ying was a little entangled, this was indeed a good choice, but this was obviously suspected of taking advantage of Song Yibai.
"That rent ......"
"Letting you move in is hoping you can get a better job."
The implication is that Tang Ying doesn't need to pay, Tang Ying doesn't want to agree, but she can't say anything about Song Yibai at all.
After all, Song Yibai has a legitimate reason, that is, for work.
