Chapter 12.2 You and I are not meant to be, it’s all about me spending money on you

Reluctantly, Bai Duanduan took out her mobile phone and prepared to transfer the due money, but Ji Lin interrupted her again “Forget it.”

Bai Duanduan breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Lin did not seem to be really morally bankrupt and lacking in humanity. He was finally ready to show human kindness for a change. She had paid him 2667 yuan just now, and also happened to share a neighbourly relationship with him, so maybe for this sake, he was finally willing to just let it go of this 600 yuan ……

Before Bai Duanduan could complete her good thoughts, Ji Lin said seriously, “Wait for the final settlement after 20 minutes, so that you don’t have to make transfers of hundreds and hundreds after every question. Otherwise I will have to collect money again and again, which is so troublesome for me.”

? ? ?

Don’t he dare to think that she will just hand over the money  to you without a good fight…Don’t transfer hundreds and hundreds after every question, Bai Duanduan got angry at his words. Was he so confident in answering the following questions correctly?

Bai Duanduan geared up one level up. After thinking for a long time, she then started to shoot her questions one after another. This time she worked hard, and the questions she asked were more difficult than just being tricky, and the case was more complicated than before. However, Ji Lin was like the answer book to her exercise book of questions. Almost as soon as Bai Duanduan finished asking her questions, he was able to present a completely accurate and perfect answer with a very vivid analysis.

Bai Duanduan asked ten questions in a row, and he answered all ten of them correctly.

Ji Lin said in a calm tone, “Okay, 3000 yuan, now you can transfer me all at once.”

Bai Duanduan was completely aroused by the desire to fight more, she said in disbelief, “Wait, answer a few more questions!”

Ji Lin laughed indignantly, “Sorry, but your 20 minutes are up. Don’t talk to me anymore.”

“……”

Although he said “sorry”, there was no sign of being sad and sorry on his face. He was so perfunctory in his presence that he didn’t even bother to pretend.

After he finished speaking, he had no intention to continue talking to Bai Duanduan anymore, even more to spare her any glance.

“Answer one more question!”

Bai Duanduan felt that she fully understood the gambler’s mentality at that moment. She had obviously lost all her chips, but she has already invested too much, resulting in always having a desperate mentality to turn over the table on the next move.……

For some of the details of these ten cases, many times Bai Duanduan had also made mistakes in understanding while learning, and now she used those case preferences to test Ji Lin’s skills. But surprisingly he was correct in each one of them. That was simply a huge slap delivered to her own face.

Bai Duanduan gritted her teeth, “5 minutes! I’ll give you 666 yuan more! Just answer one more question!”

……

“Another 5 minutes! I’ll transfer your money right away!”

“No way! 5 more minutes!”

……

It was just a pity that five minutes after five minutes and after many more such several five minutes, Bai Duanduan still kept asking questions, but every one of them died at the feet of Ji Lin.

……

Fortunately, thanks to the help of 110, Ji Lin’s assistant finally found Ji Lin through the building surveillance and notified the engineering department to repair the elevator as soon as possible and Bai Duanduan was finally saved from oncoming bankruptcy.

It’s just that, due to this elevator failure, she lost a total of 8,997 yuan… Bai Duanduan thought desperately in her heart, wondering if she could find the property management to compensate herself for this loss……

Ji Lin, who was also trapped in the elevator and didn’t waste a minute’s hourly rate of payment, was naturally in good spirits. He accepted the payment unceremoniously, and then he didn’t even show any courtesy to say a few words of thank you to Bai Duanduan. As he walked out of the elevator under her watchful gaze, he didn’t even bother to look at Bai Duanduan anymore, and went home by himself.

Bai Duanduan was shocked and she finally said, “I spent almost 9,000 yuan on you inside this elevator in the last twenty minutes, and this is what you offer as after the sale service? Shouldn’t you at least say something to soothe my broken heart and wallet? At least let me feel that the money I spent was not so heartbreaking?”

Ji Lin turned around, looked at Bai Duanduan, and said without any hesitation, “Oh, thank you for your patronage, and come again next time.”

? ? ?

You can shut up! I don’t want to come to you again next time! ! !

Bai Duanduan finally realised that from people like Ji Lin, one shouldn’t expect him to say anything good in return. He always keeps his mouth shut and ignores others as if there was no one else in this world except himself, and he was already thinking about others.

After returning home, Bai Duanduan thought for a while, but she was still annoyed. She opened her WeChat and began to send manipulative text messages to Ji Lin.

“Do you really not think that  this is a kind of fate that we are both peers, competitors, neighbors, and now that we also have become WeChat friends, there should be some fate in this? Shouldn’t you at least act a bit  friendly with me?”

Ji Lin did not reply.

It’s fine, she got it now, she has to first pay him to make him talk to her! Bai Duanduan thought, wasn’t it just about paying money? She will pay him! She immediately sent Ji Lin a small red packet on WeChat. After thinking for a while, Bai Duanduan thoughtfully wrote in the remarks of the red packet, “You and I are not meant to be, it’s all about me spending money on you.”

[WeChat red packet (or WeChat red envelope) is a mobile application. The concept is based on the Chinese tradition of hongbao (red envelope, or red packet), where money is given to family and friends as a gift.]

Sure enough, after sending the red packet, Ji Lin’s online status changed to “typing in progress”.

This man was really blinded by money. There was probably nothing in this world he wouldn’t do as long as he was paid handsomely for it, and this temperament is ……

It was a pity that before Bai Duanduan could finish her tirade, Ji Lin’s reply came in…

To Bai Duanduan’s surprise, he not only took away her red packet, but even sent her back the whole amount.

[There are no ways to cancel or reclaim the red packets sent to individual and group chats. So Ji Lin first has to accept the red packet and then send it all back.]

What followed was a vexed sentence——

“All your money has been returned, and from now on you have nothing to do with me.”

? ? ?

Bai Duanduan took a look at the transfer. She had previously paid Ji Lin a total of 8,997 yuan in the elevator, and now Ji Lin, who has always been known in the industry as the iron rooster, actually transferred 9,000 yuan to herself!

There was an extra transfer of three yuan? ！

Bai Duanduan immediately wondered, if Ji Lin miscalculated the account? Or did he feel that he didn’t have to settle the score with herself and that it would be better to round up the whole amount?

Of course, Bai Duanduan’s doubts were soon dispelled. Because Ji Lin sent out another sentence…

“I gave you 3 yuan more, so don’t talk to me in the future.”

“……”

Why was he so toxic? So rueful that this stingy man Ji Lin was willing to pay a huge extra three yuan just to get herself off his back? So much so riled up that he doesn’t want to have anything to do with her? And, the most important thing was that she was only worth three dollars, “huge money” in his eyes ！！！！！！！

All right, this was a real feud now, they were really fated.

Author’s note: Hahahaha, don’t worry, Ji Lin looks all suave right now, but the sprint which is often too strong at the beginning of the long distance race, may becomes hard to say later~

Give Bai Duanduan some time. With no feelings of love for each other, one will only start to show their toxic side first. Ji Lin is not at all toxic in many ways~

The third day of Ji Lin’s business trip

Ji Lin: Wife, why haven’t you called me even once in so many days (grievance)

Bai Duanduan: Oh, after all, you are billed in seconds, and 2.222222222222 yuan per second is too expensive for me to pay.

？ ？ ？ =  ? ? ? ? (? ? ? *)

Ji Lin: My time will always be free for you, my wife.
