Revenge Sevenfold

Hui Yin felt that his reason was understandable. She had never worked in a coffee shop before. Unlike her, who was a complete newbie, they should hire people with more experience instead.

But why did he look so guilty?

Suspicious, but knowing that she couldn't do anything to change his mind, Hui Yin stood up and offered him a gentle smile.

"I completely understand your concern, Mr. Zhang. Thank you for this opportunity."

Zhang Wei felt himself shrinking under the girl's benevolent gaze. Such elegance! She was truly a goddess, to even thank a lying man like him.

"I'm really sorry for this, Miss Hui." His voice was weak. "How about I give you free coffee every time you find yourself in our shop? It will be on the house!"

Free coffee? Why did he need to treat her to free coffee, and even offer that kind of ridiculous gesture?

She was just someone whom he rejected to hire because of her inexperience, did he really need to give her such special treatment?

Hui Yin stared at the man for a second longer. Then she opened her mouth and spoke two words.

"Lu Shen."

Zhang Wei jumped like a cat whose tail had gotten stepped on.

"W—w—what did you say, Miss Hui?" he stuttered.

Hui Yin's expression darkened.

As expected, it was that man!

No wonder nobody hired her! Hui Yin had indeed suspected that something was wrong ever since her third interview.

The first one, she thought that the phone call was nothing out of ordinary. When her second interviewer rejected her after a phone call made him look nervous, Hui Yin thought it was simply a coincidence. When that happened for the third time, then the fourth and the fifth, and now the sixth time...she could only draw her own conclusions.

It was indeed because of Lu Shen, that bastard!

"You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Zhang," said Hui Yin, who noticed that the man had sweat beading over his forehead despite the working air conditioner. "And you don't need to treat me to free coffee. But I appreciate the kind gesture."

After she left the coffee shop, Hui Yin dialed the familiar phone number, her expression a direct contrast to the warm weather.

After the second ring, it immediately clicked.

"Yes?"

His voice was melodious and husky, like an intimate whisper in her ear. Hui Yin could feel her body responding, but she gritted her teeth and made her voice turn cold.

"Don't play innocent. Why are you stopping me from taking a part-time job? Do you want me to starve?"

There was a short pause. "Are you short on money?"

Hearing his relaxed tone, Hui Yin wanted to choke him.

"Of course I'm short on money! Why would I look for a part-time job if I had a lot of money?" yelled Hui Yin.

She knew this was the first time she had lost her temper with Lu Shen. Because of her background, she had tried hard to become a perfect lady in front of him, so that he would marry her.

Now that she didn't have the intention of being with Lu Shen, she didn't need to pretend anymore.

"If you marry me, you will never run out of money."

Hearing the assured confidence in his tone, Hui Yin was speechless.

When I married you, I became even poorer, alright?!
