I Am Not Your Milkshake

Chapter 3: The Feeling of Sleeping on the Street

Translator: Iris Guo

At night, at the front desk of Mingying Hotel, more than ten gold cards were stacked on the counter.

The female receptionist swiped the last card, and gently returned it to the young woman who placed her chin on the opposite side, politely and embarrassedly smiling. "Miss, your credit card has been frozen. Do you have any other cards?"

Mu Jiuyue scratched her head anxiously, and all her cards were frozen. This noble lady from a rich family encountered such an embarrassing situation for the first time and was at a loss.

She gritted her teeth, took out her mobile phone, dialed a phone number, and called her dearest female friend.

The phone rang twice and Mu Jiuyue quickly got through, The woman on the other side of the phone said softly, "Hey, Jiuyue, what's wrong?"

Mu Jiuyue didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "Sisi, can you transfer 500,000 to my bank card? I'm on a tight budget now."

More friends made the journey easier. There was going to be a way out somehow. Mu Jiuyue had nothing to boast of but a lot of friends. She believed those small difficulties would be easy to overcome.

The other side of the phone replied, "I heard that Mu Family went bankrupt?"

Mu Jiuyue replied, "You all know?"

"Of course, who doesn't know in City A? I have no money. I have something to do, goodbye." The girl hung up on her before she spoke.

Mu Jiuyue looked at the phone, stunned for a few seconds.

She used to go shopping with Feng Sisi. Whenever Feng Sisi liked any luxury, she would buy it for her as long as she was there.

She could spend tens of millions for Feng Sisi. Now the girl hung up on her when she just asked for 500,000?

‘Don’t be upset.’

Mu Jiuyue took a deep breath and told herself over and over again, ‘Mu Jiuyue, you have to be calm, not all friends are like this.’

She called another good friend.

"Qiqi, I'm short of money recently, can you ..."

"What? The rich girl of Mu Group is short of money? Oh my god! It's incredible! By the way, I have forgotten that Mu Family went bankrupt and your grandfather ran away. What’s happening now? Did Miss Mu fall off the altar and humbly borrow money from a nobody like me? "

"You once said that we are best friends. Wouldn't it be a bit too much for you to say that?"

"Before, I made friends with you because your family was rich. Otherwise, who would bother to kiss your ass! Now, you have lost all the fortunes of Mu Family and who do you think you are!"

The girl also hung up directly.

It turned out that the so-called ‘good friends’ she used to trust had approached her just for money, and Mu Jiuyue was so angry about that.

The lady at the front desk asked gently, "Miss, do you still need to book a room?"

She took a few deep breaths, eased her mood and said calmly, "Thank you, no need." She picked up her cell phone and went out with her suitcase in hand.

She was such a grown woman. She believed that even without their help she could still pull it through!

The night was slightly cold, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Mu Jiuyue strolled around the street aimlessly, and decided to find a place to sleep first.

After strolling around for a long time, she finally found a secluded park. Then she put on a bench the pink panther pillow in her arms, and then lay down...

The fragrance of dishes came from nowhere, and her stomach growled. She hadn’t eaten from noon to now. Mu Jiuyue was so hungry that she turned over, and suddenly a gentle voice sounded from behind her, "Come, here for you."

Mu Jiuyue felt a little familiar with the voice. She turned around and found her high school classmate Fang Xue.

At that time, Fang Xue was short and thin, and was often bullied. In the class, Mu Jiuyue considered herself a very righteous person. She often stood up for her, but they were not familiar.

Mu Jiuyue watched the instant noodles that Fang Xue handed over and sat up, frowning. "Grandpa said that instant noodles can’t be eaten. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea." She looked up at Fang Xue, "I want to eat sea cucumber, shark fin and abalone!"

"No sea cucumbers, shark fins or abalones." Fang Xue withdrew the instant noodles, and spoke coldly, "That's all I have. If you don't eat, I will throw it."

Mu Jiuyue had intended to ask her to take it away, but she was really hungry. ‘Forget it, just suck it up.’

She took the instant noodles and started to eat. After the first bite, her eyes began to sparkle with light, "Hmm... hmm delicious..."

Not far away, in the black Rolls-Royce car, Qin San turned his head and looked at the noble man in the back seat, smiling, "Sir, Miss Mu seems to be enjoying it."

The man looked at the gobbling woman and smiled coldly, "Extreme hunger will, naturally make everything delicious."

Qin San wiped his cold sweat and felt sympathetic for Mu Jiuyue in his heart. This Miss Mu had offended no one but his master. It was too miserable.

‘Hey, she is the only one to blame. She’s the first person who dares to bring explosives to blow up his house! She has to pay a price.’

He said again, "Sir, do you need to take Miss Mu back now?"

"No." The man squinted. "Let her suffer more. Just make sure she doesn’t starve to death. You call Fang Xue and tell her that she can go."

Qin San answered “yes”, and soon dialed the number.

Fang Xue answered the call, and when she got the message, she hung up. She looked at the woman holding the instant noodle bowl and drinking the soup, saying expressionlessly, “You have your meal. I’m leaving.”

Mu Jiuyue pulled her back, "Can you keep me for one night?"

"This..." Fang Xue was a little hesitant. Mu Jiuyue, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, was spoiled by her family members. She was kind of wayward, but she was kind in heart. It was a little embarrassing for her to sleep on the bench of a park. "I rent my house with a flatmate. Let me make a phone call first to see if it’s convenient."

Mu Jiuyue quickly loosened her grip.

Fang Xue walked aside and dialed the phone number, "Mr. Su, Miss Mu wants to stay with me tonight, is that okay?"

At the other end of the phone, the man said coldly, "No."
