The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 152: Helping Is Kindness, Not Helping Is Obligation
"Sure, but you know Rong Yun is very busy. I usually have to wait for him to call me. When he reaches out, I’ll mention it. It should be fine," Zhou Tongtong said with a smile.
"Understood, understood, of course, Rong Yun is busy!"
The girls from Class Ten were satisfied and their attitude towards her improved significantly.
Zhou Tongtong sneered inwardly, Qiao Qiqi, oh Qiao Qiqi, even without you, I can still thrive at First Middle School!
Zhou Tongtong quickly received a call from Rong Yun’s assistant, confirming the concert’s time and schedule with her. After listening, Zhou Tongtong requested ten concert tickets.
The assistant, knowing how much Rong Yun valued Zhou Tongtong, readily agreed and said that someone would deliver the tickets to her later.
Only then did Zhou Tongtong hang up the phone with satisfaction and shared the good news with her classmates.
The students of Class Ten were all excited. Rong Yun currently had an extraordinary national popularity. It was no exaggeration to say that all the girls in First Middle School were fans of Rong Yun!
As soon as Zhou Tongtong received the concert tickets, she went to find Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi, upon being informed someone was looking for her, gave Zhou Tongtong a half-smile when she saw her.
"Qiqi, here’s the thing, Rong Yun gave me some concert tickets, and I specifically saved one for you." Zhou Tongtong smiled subtly as she handed over the ticket, with arrogance lurking deep in her eyes.
Qiao Qiqi didn’t move an inch, shifting her gaze expressionlessly, "No need."
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Zhou Tongtong and left directly.
Annoyed, Zhou Tongtong tightened her grip on the ticket, catching up to Qiao Qiqi under her classmates’ surprised and envious gazes, "Qiqi, you don’t have to be polite with me, even if you wronged me! But I won’t hold it against you, just accept it, this ticket is quite rare, you can’t buy it even if you have money! If it weren’t for me giving it to you, you wouldn’t have been able to attend Rong Yun’s concert!"
Qiao Qiqi suddenly stopped, looking at her with a cold smile, "I wronged you? How can you even say that!"
"Qiqi, what’s the point of acting like this? I don’t want to hold grudges with you, why do you have to be like this? Yesterday you clearly promised to help me pay for the milk tea, but you just left after getting me to pay, causing the milk tea shop people to scold me! This morning, I was bullied by classmates in the class, you clearly could have helped me, but you stood by and did nothing! But even though you treated me like that, I still thought to bring you something nice the moment I got it, how could you..." be so ungrateful.
Onlookers then realized what had happened between the two. If it was true, then Qiao Qiqi was indeed quite unreasonable!
"First, you bought fifty cups of milk tea, totaling two thousand yuan, and you asked me to lend you money! It was a loan, and I didn’t agree. You just assumed I should give you that money. So what? Not giving you money for the milk tea means I wronged you? Second, you were bullied by classmates, why must I help you? Not helping you means I wronged you? This is utterly ridiculous, and... do I have to accept something just because you give it to me?" Qiao Qiqi stated calmly, then turned to continue walking forward.
The classmates then suddenly realized, oh my, were they almost swayed by this girl just now? What Qiao Qiqi said made perfect sense!
Must you lend money just because someone asks? Even if Qiao Qiqi didn’t help her, so what? Helping is a kindness, not helping is expected! Wasn’t Zhou Tongtong engaging in moral coercion!
Everyone looked at Zhou Tongtong with disdain and suspicion, it seems she was another schemer.
