Chapter 129 The Simp Stand-in Quits (3)
Perhaps Lu Ming was too confident in the results of his training; he was certain that Xia Mingwei wouldn't do something so greedy for money!
Xia Mingwei wasn't deaf; they hadn't been discreet about what they'd said, so of course she'd heard it all. Her shoulders trembled, as if she were enduring immense pain.
Seeing Xia Mingwei's weak and vulnerable appearance, the men became even more excited, convinced that this "softie" could only be manipulated at their mercy.
Actually, they were all wrong. Xia Mingwei wasn't sobbing sadly; her heart was trembling with joy! Everyone watched for a long time, but Xia Mingwei still didn't make a move.
The boy who had just made the suggestion seemed to feel he was losing face and urged again, "Did you hear what we just said? We said we'd give you a million dollars for taking off a piece of clothing. Are you going to take it off or not?"
This time, Xia Mingwei finally broke her silence. She raised her head, looked at the man, and asked without blinking, "Can you take responsibility for this?"
The man seemed surprised that Xia Mingwei would ask a question in return, and was stunned by this turn of events.
But having been a lackey for years, he wasn't intimidated by Xia Mingwei, this young girl. He immediately laughed and said, "We dare to give it to you, what are you going to do about it?"
Upon receiving the confirmation, Xia Mingwei's eyes lit up with eager anticipation once more. She left with a "Wait for me" and rushed out the door.
Everyone was completely baffled by this turn of events. Did she run away crying from anger? But it didn't seem like it!
The group pursed their lips, inwardly mocking their lack of enthusiasm. When had Xia Mingwei ever left looking utterly humiliated after being teased by them? How many times had it happened? Hadn't she gotten used to it? It seemed inappropriate for her to suddenly develop a sense of pride! But with the teasers gone, their enthusiasm had waned considerably.
Just as they were racking their brains for another solution, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open with a "bang." The person who entered was none other than Xia Mingwei, whom they thought had left.
The Xia Mingwei who came in now was completely different from the one who ran out just now.
It turned out that Xia Mingwei, who had just run out of the private room, didn't go anywhere. She went straight to the nearest clothing wholesale market and, regardless of the price, put on all the clothes she could find that she could wear.
If you can fit into it, the world is yours!
Therefore, Xia Mingwei is now wrapped up in clothes like a ball.
It wasn't until they were getting dressed at the clothing wholesale market that Xia Mingwei and Xiao Ba resumed their conversation.
Xiao Ba chuckled and covered her mouth, laughing as she said, "Host, so that's what you were planning! I thought you were influenced by the original owner and had gotten carried away by love!"
Xia Mingwei shook her head, "Since completing these missions, I feel like my soul has become much stronger! Before, I was always controlled by the lingering emotions of the original owner, but now I feel that feeling of being unable to control myself is almost gone!"
After answering Xiao Ba's question, Xia Mingwei thought about what might happen next and patted Xiao Ba's head in a very good mood.
"Just you wait! Let's see how your host deals with these shameless people! If they don't go bankrupt today, they're lucky they're holding on tight! If they don't suffer a bloody pulp, I refuse to believe Xia won't get away with this!"
Xia Mingwei's return to the private room truly shocked everyone. Who in their right mind would want to expose someone's misdeeds while watching a football match?!
Xia Mingwei didn't care about any of that. She was already dressed, and the agreed price was one million yuan per dress, not a penny less!
They have to watch this "striptease" today, whether they want to or not! Xia Mingwei is determined to get this money!
Xia Mingwei launched a direct attack, pointing at the lackey and saying, "So you wanted to see me take my clothes off? And you said it was a million a piece?"
Normally, this lackey would have already responded.
But nowadays, who would dare! Xia Mingwei's clothes, once taken off, clearly indicate a wealth capable of bankrupting his family! If his father were to give Xia Mingwei that much money, he'd surely break his legs!
He looked at Xia Mingwei, who was wrapped up like a ball, and fell silent, a rare occurrence for him!
Seeing that he remained silent, Xia Mingwei was not discouraged. She addressed the group in the private room, saying, "It's alright if he can't come up with that much money! We're all here for you! Besides, didn't you all say we're all friends? Friends share joys and sorrows! To honor your friendship, I've decided that everyone here will contribute! Just make sure you all raise the money!"
After hearing Xia Mingwei's words, the expressions on everyone's faces turned grim. They all looked as if they'd eaten dog excrement!
Xia Mingwei didn't care what they were thinking. After saying those words to everyone, she went straight to taking off her clothes.
As she took off her clothes, she muttered to herself, "One piece, two pieces, three pieces..."
After she took off all her clothes, it was discovered that she had over 200 short-sleeved shirts! It's no exaggeration to say that at that moment, she was a walking clothes hanger!
She made such great efforts above, and of course, those below weren't idle either.
She just went to the market and practically bought up most of the stockings there. She didn't care about color, as long as they were thin, she put them all on. After her stocking show, she had over 160 pairs.
You think this is Xia Mingwei's limit? You really underestimate her! She still has socks.
As Xia Mingwei took off her socks, she said to the onlookers, "These socks count as two pieces of clothing!"
Everyone thought Xia Mingwei's striptease was outrageous enough, but then she pulled out a calculator to everyone's astonishment.
"Reset to zero, reset to zero, two hundred and six plus one hundred and sixty-eight plus one hundred and twenty plus..."
The sound of the computer echoed throughout the silent private room. To everyone present, the mechanical voice sounded like a demonic chant, a death knell.
If Xia Mingwei knew what they were thinking, she would definitely sneer. Cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents; today she's here to take their lives!
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Mingwei finally finished calculating.
She waved the calculator in her hand and said with a smile, "There are 535 pieces of clothing in total, so the total is 535 million! I've calculated the money, who's going to pay?"
Everyone present fell silent; the scene was momentarily still. They might have some money, but they weren't at the point where they could throw away hundreds of millions without batting an eye!
This group of people, though called friends, were mostly from families less well-off than Lu Ming's. Therefore, Lu Ming usually led the gatherings; he was the one who truly decided who would organize them!
Now that Xia Mingwei has caused this trouble, it remains to be seen how Lu Ming will handle it!
