171: A good opportunity to save the beauty

Chen Tianming sat directly in the seat closest to Su Meng.

"Looking at you, you must still be a student?"

Chen Tianming's voice was calm, and his eyes rested on Su Meng.

This feeling was truly strange.

Although the other person looked exactly like Wan Yue, her aura was completely different.

Su Meng looked up at Chen Tianming.

From his attire, it was clear that this person must be rich.

Her clear eyes instantly dimmed, and even her words carried a hint of ice.

"Is this how you hit on all girls?"

Chen Tianming frowned slightly.

This woman was very guarded.

"I'm just a little curious about your appearance. Don't you have classes at school?"

"Manager, I've wiped the cups. If there's nothing else, I'll go take out the trash."

After speaking, she placed the wiped cups into the cabinet, then turned and went to the back.

"Ah, Xiao Meng just has that temper. Don't mind her."

The manager smiled faintly at Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming didn't speak, just stared blankly in the direction Su Meng had left.

Before the coffee was even served, Chen Tianming left.

"Xiao Meng, that customer just now seemed to be interested in you. I think he seemed like a good person, why didn't you give him a chance?"

As Su Meng tidied things, she said seriously, "Looking at him, you can tell he's a rich playboy. At most, he's just looking for some fun."

"What's wrong with that? You're so young and beautiful, it would be good if you could make some money."

Su Meng chose to ignore the manager's words.

She turned back to her own work.

And the manager, looking at her, could only shake her head.

Sitting in the car, Chen Tianming carefully reviewed Su Meng's information.

This woman's family situation was not good.

Her parents were typical in their preference for sons over daughters.

Almost everything revolved around her younger brother at home.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to live so far away, studying and working part-time, just to save money.

"For this kind of young girl, you have to make your presence known."

Chen Tianming murmured to himself.

At least he had left an impression on Su Meng.

It wouldn't be too abrupt when they met next time.

Gradually, the sky darkened.

Taking her day's wages, Su Meng got on the bus and rode all the way to the City Village.

It was a lively time on the streets.

All sorts of people lived here.

Just on her way home, Su Meng could feel many men's greedy gazes fixed on her.

She pretended not to care, but her hands were already clenched into fists.

If only she had money.

She would never continue to live here, compromising herself.

Finally, the unremarkable yet incredibly familiar three-story building appeared before her eyes.

Su Meng quickly hurried over.

Even being looked at by those strange men for an extra moment made her feel incredibly uncomfortable.

It wasn't until she stood at the doorway that Su Meng finally let out a long sigh.

She quickly pulled out her key, about to open the main door, when it suddenly swung open.

Su Meng was startled, and the next second, the face of a corpulent man appeared before her.

"Su Meng, you're back."

Du Yuhang smiled, his greasy body blocking the way just by standing there.

He was the landlord, after all.

Su Meng simply hummed in response.

"What have you been busy with these days? Always out early and back late. There were two people looking for you here yesterday, and one of the girls looked so much like you, is she your relative?"

Du Yuhang didn't care if Su Meng wanted to chat with him or not; he just blurted out everything.

Su Meng shook her head, "I don't know them."

"Is that so..."

Seeing Su Meng about to enter past him, Du Yuhang quickly leaned in, "I know your family's situation isn't very good. You must be spending a lot of time working lately, right?"

Saying this, Du Yuhang immediately took out several banknotes from his pocket.

Su Meng was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

Du Yuhang's face broke into a smile, "I know your circumstances aren't great, so I'm helping out where I can."

Many beautiful women had moved into this building.

But if you were to talk about the most beautiful, it was definitely Su Meng.

But it was strange.

Under the system's influence, female tenants who moved in would more or less have a good impression of Du Yuhang.

As long as Du Yuhang was a little nice to them, he could gain favorability.

Because of this, he had completed several missions and earned many system rewards.

But specifically with Su Meng, Du Yuhang had yet to succeed.

Su Meng was like a stone that couldn't be warmed.

If this continued, Su Meng would probably move out, and he wouldn't gain any favorability at all.

Du Yuhang was anxious.

He couldn't possibly let such a beautiful woman get away!

She was short on money, so he would offer it to her.

At the very least, he could gain a little favorability.

Su Meng quickly waved her hand.

"How can I? I can't just take your money for no reason..."

"What's wrong with it?"

Du Yuhang's face again formed a greasy smile.

"I'm only giving it to you secretly because I see your situation isn't good. Others wouldn't get this treatment."

His words were truly subtle.

If only Du Yuhang's face could be even a little bit more handsome, Su Meng might have had some thoughts.

But facing his greasy appearance, she truly couldn't be moved.

"This money..."

"Why can't you take this money?"

Du Yuhang's hand had just reached out when it was intercepted by a man with a ruffian-like appearance.

These few banknotes felt pitifully few in the man's hand.

There wasn't even a need to count them carefully.

Seeing his money taken by another man, Du Yuhang was a bit anxious now.

"What are you doing? This is for Su Meng, what does it have to do with you?"

Saying this, he was about to go and tussle with the other party.

But this man was clearly no pushover; he simply raised a hand and pushed Du Yuhang aside.

"This much isn't enough to pay off the debt."

Saying this, the man turned to look at Su Meng.

He pulled out an IOU from his pocket.

"This is an IOU your dad gave me, exactly three thousand yuan. He said to come to you for this money. If you're smart, don't waste my time here. Just hand over the money, and everything will be fine."

Upon hearing three thousand yuan, Su Meng's eyes immediately widened.

"Three thousand? How can I get that much? All the money I earn goes home..."

Her monthly living expenses were only five hundred yuan, and she relied on employee meals from her part-time jobs for food and drink.

Three thousand yuan was half a year's living expenses for her!

"I don't care about that. I only care about collecting the debt from you. That fatty just helped you pay five hundred, so there's still two thousand five hundred left."

Seeing Su Meng hesitate, unable to produce the money for a long time, the man turned and glared fiercely at Du Yuhang.

"Don't you like being a hero saving the beauty? Why don't you pay the rest for her too?"
