Chapter 180 - Blackmailing John!!
After the recording ended, John and Yang Jie turned around stiffly only to find Xiao Li standing behind playing with the phone leisurely.
Looking at the cell phone in her hand, John gulped nervously and asked "the recording……is that true? did I really those things?"
raising her eyebrows, with a faint smile, Xiao Li asked "What, only one drunk night you can no longer recognize your own voice?"
Gulping his saliva, John asked "that……what happened after that?"
"What else? Having drunk enough vinegar, Mu Jun could no longer hold his anger so he pulled you off from Sia's arms and dragged you to your room and then……dink-Chak, dink-Chak" Xiao Li answered indifferently
Looking at the Xiao Li with his eyes wide, he slowly raised his trembling hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. No wonder he woke with a broken body and felt sour all over. he must have messed with Mu Jun badly. Or else he wouldn't be treated so coldly by this jar of vinegar.
Looking at Mu Jun who stood far away from helping the others to set up the tent but kept glancing at him coldly, as if keeping an eye on him, John felt his hair stand up in fright.
Looking at John's frightened expression, Xiao Li grinned ear to ear and said "Now if I play this recording in front of Mu Jun, what will happen to you then……hmm?"
Horrified just imagining the consequence, John looked at Xiao Li with his eyes wide and said "You wouldn't dare"
"What if I dare to?" Xiao Li asked provocatively
"you-" the next second, John disappeared from his place, startling both Yang Jie and Xiao Li.
Just as they were looking around, Xiao Li suddenly felt that something caught her leg and when she instinctively looked down she saw John crying his eyes pitifully while hugging her leg "Wah……great Li, please show mercy on me. I have never done anything bad to you……how could you do this to me? waah……" John cried
seeing John overacting, Xiao Li felt her lips twitched. Scratching the space between her eyebrows, she said "get up"
not planning to let go of her legs, John looked up at Xiao Li with his pitiful eyes.
Helpless, Xiao Li sighed and said "Get up, I wont play the recording to Mu Jun"
"really?" John asked cautiously
nodding her head, Xiao Li replied "hmm"
After staring at Xiao Li to make sure that she wasn't joking, John finally let go of her legs and stood up while patting his buttocks.
As soon as John let go of her legs, Xiao Li took a few steps back and looked at him, guarded, afraid that he might hold her legs out of nowhere.
Speechless at Xiao Li's action, John sighed. Just as he was about to turn around to leave, he heard Xiao Li say "I won't delete the recording"
Shocked, John hurriedly turned and asked in disbelief "didn't you just promise that you wouldn't play the Recording to Mu Jun? how can you go back on your promise?"
Nodding her head, Xiao Li replied "Indeed but……when did I say that I would delete the recording?"
"You-this is cheating" John complained
Rolling her eyes at John, Xiao Li scoffed "Who asked you to be so stupid"
"You-" frustrated, John was unable to come up with words.
Looking at John's frustrated look, Xiao Li asked with a faint smile "do you want me to delete the recording?"
"……" with a black face, John just stared at Xiao Li without showing any sign of answering.
Ignoring his silence, Xiao Li continued "Well, it's not impossible to delete the recording but under one condition……"
Glancing at Xiao Li from the corner of his eyes, John asked with a poker face "What is it?"
"Nothing much. I heard your mom was going to release the 'Witchs love' tenth edition at the end of the month. Because the book is high on demand, only those with membership can get access to the book. The rest can only get it after a year"
"So……you want a membership card?" John asked
Shaking her head, Xiao Li said "No, I just want the tenth edition. If it's not possible to buy it I just want to borrow it for a month. How about it?"
Dumbfounded, John looked at Xiao Li speechless and it took a while for him to finally say "You……did you have to scare my heart just for a single book?"
"Were you so scared?" Xiao Li asked indifferently
"Ahhh……you almost scared the shit out of me only for a book? If you wanted the book you could have just asked me and I wouldn't say no since you're my friend. You dint have to take such a long route you know?" John yelled
Shrugging her shoulder, Xiao Li replied indifferently "I don't like to owe others so this was the only way I had to get the book"
"You-" just as John wanted to argue, Yang Jie suddenly held his shoulder and shook his head.
After being by her side for so long, Yang Jie was very much aware of Xiao Li's character.
As an orphan who had to grow up depending on herself, Xiao Li was not used to owing others. To her owing to others is equal to being indebted. And as an orphan, it is not easy for her to clear the debts so she always did things within her limits and never dared to owe others.
What Xiao Li was scared of was depending on others. She was afraid that once she depended on someone she might not able to come out of their shadow and the one who will be hurt at the end would be herself. After experiencing many things in life, Xiao Li did not dare to depend on anyone.
Though John did not know what was going on in Yang Jie's mind, he no longer insisted after Yang Jie's disapproval and just obediently agreed to Xiao Li's promise.
Once John agreed, Xiao Li did not hesitate even for a second and directly deleted the recording right in front of them and walked away with a pleasant smile on her face, leaving two depressed boys behind.
Poor John!!
