When I returned to my room, Xu Mengyao's face turned green with anger, completely different from her gentle and harmless appearance a moment ago. She loudly scolded me, "Sis, what do you mean? Why did you use my room to save face?"

She glanced around my bedroom, with a look of disdain in her eyes.

There are only two rooms in our house. She lives in the master bedroom, which is more than 20 square meters with a bathroom.

My small secondary bedroom is less than 10 square meters, only equipped with a bed and a wardrobe, pitifully small in comparison. It's no wonder that Xu Mengyao doesn't like it.

"No, I just wanted to study with you," I said in a helpless tone.

"Haven't you always been generous? Your room is bigger than mine, so it's more suitable to give it to Gu Jie," Xu Mengyao retorted.

Xu Mengyao is generous with my things when she's making promises to others. But when it comes to her own interests, she becomes stingy. I've long seen through her.

"Then you can rent a house for Gu Jie with your money. Why bring him to our home?" I looked at her innocently.

Xu Mengyao frowned suspiciously, "How can you not have money when you just transferred money to me a few days ago?"

"I gave it all to you, so I have no money," I shrugged helplessly.

The compensation from the car accident involving my parents had long been spent. If it weren't for me working multiple jobs every day, how could Xu Mengyao afford to go to school? Or to order takeaway worth a few hundred yuan?

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that she's just a greedy person, throwing money to the dogs.

"If you have no money, you can take out a loan," Xu Mengyao's response once again shattered my expectations.

Is she serious about me taking out a loan for someone I don't even know?

Do I look like a **?

"I don't care. I'm used to sleeping alone, and I could never sleep with you," Xu Mengyao stubbornly sat down, full of self-importance.

I knew this was a force of habit.

When our parents were alive, Xu Mengyao always had her way.

After our parents' passing, I inherited their habits, giving Xu Mengyao the freedom to be self-centered and willful.

But Xu Mengyao's words hit home for me.

I didn't want to sleep with her either, especially with someone as terrifying as Gu Jie in the house.

I couldn't possibly fall asleep in this house.

"Fine, then I'll stay at a friend's place for the night," I said without waiting for Xu Mengyao's response. I turned and quickly left that terrifying house that had haunted me.
