Chapter 139 - 139: I’m His Girlfriend

She was wondering why the original owner jaywalked.

It turned out that she went to buy drinks for this brute. He let her jaywalk to buy him a drink.

After she was hit by a car, Mike did not want anyone to know the truth, and he didn't dare to go up to check her and just called an ambulance.

When police investigated the accident, they checked surveillance video so as to judge who was responsible for the accident. As to why the girl jaywalked, they would not seek the answer.

Mike thought that would clear his conscience.

But the original owner paid the price of her life for this drink.

Sophia made up her mind that she would get justice for the original owner and would not let her die in vain.

Mike went on, "Actually, I've always wanted to visit you in the hospital, but I heard you became a vegetable. I'm afraid it would make me sad, so I didn't go. You always told me you like me. You won't be mad at me for such a trifle, will you?"

Sophia frowned. It was not for fear of sadness that he did not go to see her. This kind of person would not be sad. He just didn't think it's necessary. To see a vegetable, he couldn't get any good.

But now he came to her, and she felt that it must be for some purpose.

Sophia stayed calm and said, "It has been so long that I don't remember much about it. After the accident, I learned something. Only by studying hard can I enter a good college and have a bright future."

Mike kept nodding. "It's good for you to think like that. That's what I used to tell you. Studying hard is the best way out. When I graduate from Glinton, I can find a good job and make a lot of money."

"Really? Well, congratulations. Did you stop me today because you wanted to show off to me?" Sophia said in a cold voice.

Mike waved his hands, "No… Actually…"

He hesitated, then said, "You know my family. You used to take care of me at school. I get a scholarship every year, but it's just enough to pay my tuition. I live on grants. Sophia, I know you are a big one, could you lend me some money?"

Sophia learned what had happened when she heard, "You used to take care of me at school." It turned out that he socialized with the original owner for her money.

Although her family was not well off, she could get some "protection fees" from her classmates. Although it was not the proper income, the total amount of money was not small. With the living expenses Kate gave her, she was much better off than Mike.

Mike was probably used to spending her money. After two years, the first thing he did when they met again was to borrow money from her. "Borrow money" meant no paying back.

This was the first time Sophia had seen such a shameless man.

She was rich and had the ability to make money, but she would not give him a penny.

Sophia glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "Since you have living expenses and a scholarship, what do you borrow money for? Buy things for your girlfriend?"

Mike laughed, "Are you jealous? I don't have a girlfriend… No, I mean, my girlfriend is you. I need the money because I'm going to the Plain TV Station to sign up for a TV show. It's a long way, so I need to pay for travel and accommodation."

"TV show?" It aroused Sophia's interest. If he wanted to take part in a TV show... she could do a little damage to ease the original owner's anger.

Mike nodded at once. "Yes, a famous show, Super Quiz. The champion can get a prize of ten thousand dollars. I watched shows from the last season. I can answer any questions, even more than the champion. So, I think if I go there, I'll win the championship. Then I can not only get money but also be famous."

A slight smile appeared on Sophia's face.

What she wanted to say was: don't worry, you'll never win the championship.

Of course, she didn't speak that out.

"But I don't have any money," Sophia said. "My family is poor now. All the money was spent on my treatment, and we're in debt. Creditors came to my house every day… If you win the championship, can you help pay off my debts?"

"Don't you often… ask your classmates for money?"

Sophia sighed, "You know, I haven't been as fit and strong since the accident, so... I can't get the money."

Mike stayed and said, "I saw on the Internet that you are very good at math and chemistry, and you can get a place in the Olympiad…"

Sophia just interrupted him, "They don't award me money even if I get a place in the Olympiad… I can only get into Glinton without taking the exam. Maybe I'll make a lot of money when I graduate, and then I'll be able to lend you money."

As they spoke, a girl cried out in the distance, "Mike!"

Sophia looked at the girl. She seemed like a rich girl. She went over to Mike, took his arm, and then looked at Sophia in a hostile way and asked, "Who are you? You know Mike?"

Sophia said with a smile, "Of course. I'm his girlfriend. He said I'm the only one he's dating…"

The girl's face changed. She glared at Mike. "Is that true?"

Mike hurriedly said, "No. She is one of my high school classmates."

He winked at Sophia and motioned her to cooperate with him.

Sophia had always been obedient to him. She never disobeyed what he said. She would do whatever she could for him and give him whatever she had. No matter how aggrieved she might be, she would fulfill him.

That was why she was with her.

He believed that Sophia would cooperate with him.

Sophia looked at the girl and smiled.. "You must be the cash cow he was talking about, aren't you? Mike said he would soon be rich and famous, and then you will not be needed."
