Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Everything is a Conspiracy

Qin Wan’er looked at He Ping with a fierce and covetous gaze, involuntarily shrinking back in fear.

Among those present, the only one she was familiar with was Zhang Xiaoyou. The others were hardly acquaintances, just people she had seen occasionally and not even on nodding terms. She had never wronged these people before, so she didn’t understand why they treated her this way.

Qin Wan’er was indeed sensible, but after all, she was not deeply experienced in the world. She didn’t understand that being poor was a mistake in itself. Identity, status, family background—all these clearly divided people into different classes. She was destined not to become friends with these people, no matter how kind she was. In the eyes of these people, kindness was probably the least valuable thing.

"Young Master He, what are you doing? You’re scaring Wan’er." Zhang Xiaoyou was a very pretty girl, but her beauty wasn’t innate; most parts of her face had been surgically altered, making her an artificial beauty.

He Ping sneered, "Xiaoyou, it’s not that I won’t give you face; it’s that she doesn’t give me face."

"We are all classmates, and today is my birthday, so let’s all be happy. Can I take this drink for Wan’er?" Zhang Xiaoyou said with a smile.

"How can someone take a drink for someone else? It’s just a drink. Does she think she’s such a big deal?"

"Exactly, she’s just a dog relying on others yet still expecting Xiaoyou to drink for her?"

"Xiaoyou, really, how can you be friends with this kind of person? It lowers our class."

Zhang Xiaoyou, a little angry, said, "Enough, everyone, stop bullying Wan’er."

"Wan’er, don’t be angry, everyone is just joking around, there’s no malice." Zhang Xiaoyou laughed, comforting Qin Wan’er.

"Xiaoyou, I am really sorry for spoiling everyone’s fun. Please, enjoy yourselves. It’s getting late, I should go now." Qin Wan’er slightly bent down, apologetically said.

Zhang Xiaoyou said, "Wan’er, it’s just starting and you’re leaving already? Stay a bit longer."

"No, I really have to get home. My brother is still waiting for me." Qin Wan’er looked apologetic, walked over to get her bag, ready to leave.

However, a boy snatched Qin Wan’er’s bag before she could.

"What are you doing?" Qin Wan’er was a bit angry.

"Qin Wan’er, it’s our privilege to have you here, do you really think you deserve to be with us given your status? Look at yourself." The boy sneered, tossing the bag he was holding over to He Ping behind him.

He Ping caught it effortlessly, sinisterly smiled, "Qin Wan’er, if you don’t drink this drink tonight, don’t even think about leaving here. Drink it obediently and I can return your bag."

Qin Wan’er was both anxious and angry. The belongings in the bag weren’t worth much, but her phone was in there. Even though it was just a thousand-yuan phone, it had taken a long time to save up for it.

"Give me back my bag."

He Ping walked to the window, opened it, extended his hand holding the bag outside, and sinisterly smiled, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t drink, I’ll throw your bag downstairs."

"You all, you are bullying me too much." Qin Wan’er’s eyes filled with grievance and turned red.

"Didn’t you refuse to give me face first? Who the hell is bullying you, just asking if you’ll drink or not?" He Ping grinned evilly.

"I’m going to start counting, one."

"Two."

Qin Wan’er’s tears danced in her eyes, biting her lip, she walked over and picked up the glass of wine, gulping it down. She choked and coughed hard because it was her first time drinking wine.

"Can you give me back my bag now?" Qin Wan’er glared at He Ping with indignation, trying hard not to cry in front of these people.

He Ping sneered, "Don’t rush, that was just the first thing. There’s one more thing to do, and then you can leave."

Qin Wan’er felt a bad premonition, looking at Zhang Xiaoyou for help.

Zhang Xiaoyou looked at Qin Wan’er and suddenly showed a strange smile, slowly walked over and leaned into He Ping’s arms, coquettishly said, "Darling, are you happy now?"

Qin Wan’er was stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Xiaoyou nestled in He Ping’s arms.

"Xiaoyou, you..."

Zhang Xiaoyou turned to Qin Wan’er, suddenly full of disdain, said, "Qin Wan’er, can’t you see it? This whole setup tonight was just for you, to make my darling happy. Did you really think I was sincere about being friends with you? Look at what you are, do you think you deserve it?"

"Qin Wan’er, did you really think my darling was interested in you? He hadn’t met me yet, so he was tempted by a cheap person like you."

Qin Wan’er looked at Zhang Xiaoyou in disbelief. Rejecting He Ping, Zhang Xiaoyou befriended her to vent He Ping’s anger—it was all their conspiracy. Suddenly, Qin Wan’er staggered a bit, a blush arose on her pretty face, the alcohol hit her, making her feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

"You, you’ve had your satisfaction, can you return my bag now?" Qin Wan’er felt dizzier, just wanting to leave immediately; these people disgusted her.

"Want your bag? Then you have to do the last thing, tonight’s expenses are AA, since you’ve drunk, you naturally need to pay your share too."

"Fine, how much money do you want?" Qin Wan’er didn’t want to owe these people anything.

He Ping’s eyes were full of sinister laughter, he called the waiter.

"Calculate how much our box has consumed in total?"

"Sir, you’ve spent a total of 154,300 yuan." The waiter said.

He Ping looked at Qin Wan’er, sneering, "There are fifteen of us here, so it’s more than ten thousand per person. You just pay ten thousand."

Qin Wan’er’s head spun intensely, but hearing ten thousand made her pale with fright; altogether, she didn’t have even three thousand.

Zhang Xiaoyou eyed Qin Wan’er, with a grim smile, knowing clearly how poor Qin Wan’er was, there was no way she could come up with ten thousand yuan.

"Waiter, we’re using an AA system here, if she can’t pay, what will you do?"

The waiter said, "This is beyond our control, we can only call the police."

Call the police? Qin Wan’er’s body quivered in fear, if the police were called and she got taken away, not to mention it would stain her record, Xia Yujiang and Dong Jinsu would also have who knows what kind of humiliation for her and her brother?

"No, don’t call the police." Qin Wan’er said in a panic, frightened the alcohol away.

"Not calling the police is fine, then pay the money." Zhang Xiaoyou sneered.

Qin Wan’er cautiously looked at the waiter, "I, I don’t have that much money, can I first pay three thousand and pay the rest when I save enough?"

The waiter’s eyes carried a hint of disdain, "That’s not up to me."

Qin Wan’er was flustered, her small face pale and pitiable.

Just then, He Ping took out Qin Wan’er’s bag when a phone rang inside.

He Ping glanced at it, sinisterly laughing, "Brother? Since you don’t have money, let your brother bring it."

"Don’t answer, don’t let my brother know." Qin Wan’er tried to snatch back her phone, only to be harshly pushed to the ground by Zhang Xiaoyou.

Qin Wan’er ignored the pain, got up again to snatch the phone, she couldn’t let her brother worry. Yet again, Zhang Xiaoyou pushed her fiercely to the ground. At that moment, He Ping had already answered the call.
