Xu Xuan grabbed her bag and scoured through her things. Once she saw her water bottle, she handed it over to Yao Ra.n.a.lmost cautiously.

Yao Ran rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to drink from your bottle,” she snapped impatiently. “Are you really that cheap that you couldn’t part with a few yuan?”

Given that there was no one else around, she didn’t bother trying to put up a mask. Instead, she scowled at the tennis player, her eyebrows furrowed over.

Back then, she wouldn’t have dared to treat anyone like this, trying her best to maintain her gentle persona. However, now that she was in debt, all bets were off.

Seeing Yao Ran this way, Xu Xuanstaggered back in guilt.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind. “Do you mind if I borrow your phone for the day?”

“Borrow my phone?” Xu Xuan pursed her lips, confused.

Yao Ran immediately ducked her head as tears slowly slid down her cheeks. She sniffled, running her hands down her hair as she shook her head.

“We’re still buried in debt, so we need some time to raise money. I…I think I can borrow money from others, but it wouldn’t look good if I did it from my phone,” she murmured.

“It’s just….my parents can’t know about this. Do you mind if I use your phone instead? Do you think that’s okay with you?”

Yao Ran blinked rapidly, trying to get rid of the tears that were blurring her vision.

Xu Xuan had no other choice in this matter. The last thing she wanted was to see Yao Rancry. One look at her pitiful face, and she had no other choice but to agree. “Fine.”

“Thank you!” Yao Ran didn’t even wait for another second as she grabbed hold of her phone and left the building. Only when she had reached a small corner did she start to type.

Just then a message popped up from Captain w.a.n.g.

“I’m still waiting for your message. If you could tell me how to contact that person, I’ll transfer 6,000 yuan into your account.”

She scowled. Just 6,000?

“I didn’t know that you’re that cheap, Coach w.a.n.g. Is that really all your tennis club could afford?” she typed out her reply and hit send, shaking her head.

Captain w.a.n.g blinked in surprise. There was a moment’s pause before he replied once again,

“How we allocate our budget has nothing to do with you. All we need is the student’s contact information, and nothing else. We could easily find that person without your help.”

There was another message after that, “I didn’t expect that you’d say such awful things. Here I thought you were kind.”

Seeing him misunderstand Xu Xuan, Yao Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit comfortable in stealing her ident.i.ty, at least for a day.

It was like wearing someone else’s skin. She could say whatever she wanted.

The blame wouldn’t lead back to her.

“I don’t really care what you think. What kind of person I am has nothing to do with you.” Yao Ran typed.

“6,000 yuan is very little. Are you trying to undercut me here? Even if you find someone else who knew her, why would they tell you? They might even give you the wrong ident.i.ty. Seeing that I was the one playing with her, wouldn’t that make me more knowledgeable of her?”

She sent her reply with a small smile on her face.

Captain w.a.n.g replied almost immediately.

“You know her? Are you on good terms with her?”

There was another message, “If you can get her to join our club, I’ll transfer 150,000 into your account. The amount would be more convenient for you, wouldn’t it?”

Yao Ran smiled. Now she was getting somewhere.

However, the amount was still too low.

“How about you give me 800,000 instead? If you transfer this amount into my account, then I can guarantee you that I’ll be able to invite her out for you to meet.”

800,000 yuan was not a small amount!

Moreover, he was only allowed to meet up with her. There was still no guarantee as to whether or not this person would agree to join their club.

He couldn’t help but grit his teeth in frustration. What kind of deal was this?
