"Well, Emily, I made some money, shall we hang out this weekend?"

Theasin looked at Emily expectantly, wanting to make up for the time she hadn't been with her these days.

"No." Emily said calmly, "I still have something to do this weekend."

"Oh, well, Emily's matter is important." Xi Yaxin said again: "If there is something that needs my help, just ask, I will do my best..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Emily interrupted, "Help me? What are you capable of helping me? Go out and look in the mirror. Apart from your cute face, what else is there to excel?"

"Hahaha, that's right, you still want to help Miss Emily, and you don't even look at yourself!"

"Hahahaha~"

"I don't even weigh how much I weigh myself."

When the girls around laughed at her, Xi Yaxin's pretty face turned red, she never thought that Emily would say such words.

"I... I... I'm really useless." Xi Yaxin was dejected, and then cheered up again, "But if Emily needs me, I will definitely come!"

"Anyone can say good things, but coming here is also a hindrance!"

"Would you like to hire a nanny to take care of you?"

"Shut up!" Emily glanced at the two girls, they were like little quails being watched by an eagle, shivering in their nests.

"Going home." Emily ignored Xi Yaxin, turned and left, and the group of girls followed closely behind, and the classroom was half empty.

The rest of the boys looked around, eager to know the secret.

Usually Emily would like to have Theasin follow her, why is this abnormal

Girlfriends quarreled? Or did Thea Xin mess with Emily

Have a good show~

All the boys remained silent, and Theo quickly packed his things and left the classroom after briefly gesturing to Theasin with his eyes.

Xi Yaxin was a little puzzled, and returned to her seat to pack her things. Recalling what Emily said to her just now, her grievances welled up, and her eyes were moist.

'It's because I didn't accompany Emily these few days and made her unhappy? Or... '

Thea Xin absent-mindedly left the school and came to the music restaurant with Theo.

Seeing Thea's desperate appearance along the way, Theo wanted to ask several times, but couldn't find a suitable point to cut into it.

One of the only two friends in the school suddenly turned cold towards her, Xi Yaxin couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute the reason to herself.

Ding~

The moment she pressed the keys, Xi Yaxin was still struggling with this matter, and was dragged off by Theo halfway through playing.

"Thea Xin! You are not in the right state today, go home and rest." Theo frowned. Today, Thea Xin did not enter the state at all when she played the piano. The guests below frowned. The visitor called the waiter to express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry." Xi Yaxin apologized, "I will make up for the time tomorrow weekend, I'm really sorry! Today..."

"What happened today?" Theo asked cautiously, "I see Emily treating you..."

"Maybe it's because I've been rejecting her these days?" Thea smiled hard.

"Then she can't say too much!" Theo was indignant about this, and suddenly he slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered, Thea Xin! Emily's father, Deputy Speaker Sorel, will be here soon. I'm going to run for the new Federal Parliament Speaker, isn't there a lot of talk about it on the Internet recently? Maybe Emily is also upset about it."

"Speaker?" Xi Yaxin blinked her eyes, always feeling that this word was out of reach for her, "Is that so? Then what should I do?"

"When Emily calms down, she..." Theo seemed to think of something, frowned and said: "It's not sure, just take a step and see."

Theasin was a little disappointed, but thanked Theo.

On the weekend of the second day, Theasin sacrificed her own time, adjusted her condition, and worked in Theo's music restaurant for a day, and only charged the most basic working hours.

That night, she found that many people in Emily's small group were talking about Emily's family dinner yesterday... and some people @ her in the group, and used language to sarcasm...

This kind of thing never happened before.

"Emilie didn't invite me, and she didn't even tell me." Xi Yaxin was even more disappointed, and Emily, who was swiped on social software and was surrounded by stars, silently saved the picture.

"Go and ask mom how they are doing." Xi Yaxin put down the phone.

. . .

office lobby.

Fina is on vacation today, and the supervisor of the senior consulting room was not there last time, so Xi Yaxin had to silently take a number and queue up.

After more than an hour, Xi Yaxin finally came to the window.

"Well, I want to consult the military management battalion information in Western Purinia, my mother and..."

"Miss," the staff interrupted Theasin's narration roughly, "we have no information in this area, and we will not expand our work in this area."

"How could it be?" Xi Yaxin said a little anxiously: "I was able to ask them last time when I came here, and even talked to them on the phone."

"On the phone?" The staff was puzzled, "Are you sure you are here? In the office hall of the Third Avenue of the Federal Central State?"

"Hmm! Sister Fina and Uncle Mal were helping me at the time, and I went to that room." Xi Yaxin pointed to the senior consulting room not far away.

The staff got serious, "Miss, you are talking about Director Mal, right?"

"Hmm! It's him."

"Director Mal is off duty today. I can inform another supervisor for you. Do you think this is appropriate? Or you can contact Supervisor Mal privately. If you have him, you must be able to get a call request."

Xi Yaxin recalled and found that the other party did not give her contact information, so she said, "Please inform another supervisor for me."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff picked up the phone beside him.

Through the glass, Xi Yaxin could hear the staff talking to the "Frank" supervisor again. After a few short sentences, the staff held down the microphone and asked Xi Yaxin:

"Miss, your name."

"Thea Xin!"

"OK, just a second."

When the staff reported to the other end of the phone, there was a moment of silence on the other side.

"Tell that little girl, we don't deal with this matter anymore, and everything must be done according to the rules and regulations. At most, give her a zip code and let her write a letter and send it there."

Xi Yaxin, who had strengthened her listening skills, could clearly hear what the supervisor said, and she was very disappointed.

The staff hung up the phone, Xi Yaxin asked him for the zip code, and left the office hall silently.

The crowd on Third Street came and went in a hurry, and the photographers who took pictures here in the past were nowhere to be seen. Everyone seemed to be driven and whipped by an invisible whip, and all kinds of eyes stayed on her for only a moment.

"Hoo~"

Thea Xin let out a mouthful of hot air, and the mist condensed and drifted away.

"It's getting cold."

Theasin noted down the duty time of Director Mal, and walked away from Third Street.

Garland, who was far away in the military management camp in Ciprini State, was disappointed waiting for his daughter's call. The last time they made an appointment to talk on the weekend, the call from Xi Yaxin still hasn't come through, and Colonel Darrow hasn't come here for several days. , in the past, it was almost impossible to happen.

Wednesday.

Emily was no longer at school, and Theasin, who left silently, came to the music restaurant. This time, Ed and Theo didn't let her play on stage in the first place.

"Thea Xin, watch this." Theo took out his phone and clicked on a video.

A balding middle-aged man is criticizing the high degree of entertainment in the Federation, and describing the national idol as an assembly line product, demanding a thorough planning of the entertainment industry...

One of the examples used is Thea Xin, who has become popular on the Internet in recent days.

"The clown who pops up in every general election." Theo explained: He will come up with some new tricks every time in the general election. Although they are not successful, they have attracted a lot of attention. These days, Ed and I mean, It is to let you try not to go on stage, and come back after this wave of heat has passed, otherwise too many reporters will come over, and those reporters are all pitfalls. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the trap of the other party. ! "

Xi Yaxin felt that Theo's small movements were a bit too much today, and his tone of voice and posture were not right.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xi Yaxin gave the other party great trust.

"Are you going back today? I'll let you know when I can come again?"

"Hmm! Thank you." Xi Yaxin said.

"By the way, Theo, Emily's father...how is he?"

Theo scratched his head, "Although it has long been rumored that the big man is going to participate in this year's speaker election, there has been no movement so far, and I don't know what's going on."

"Okay... thank you." Xi Yaxin thanked again and left.

The two watched Thea Xin until they couldn't see the girl's back at all.

"Master," Ed reminded, "The boss means to completely draw a line with Theasin, you..."

"You know a hammer!" Theo snorted coldly: "Isn't it normal for girlfriends to quarrel? Maybe they will reconcile someday."

"But boss..."

"Stop talking, I'll be responsible for the accident!" Theo, who was upset, left the corridor.

He heard that Emily complained about Xi Yaxin in public, drew a line with her, and uttered harsh words. His father was afraid of being affected, so he hurriedly asked him to drive Xi Yaxin away.

"Emily is not such a person, what's going on?" Theo was puzzled, and Theasin was even weaker, how could it provoke Emily to utter such cruel words

Because of Thea Xin, the music restaurant in their family, three fire investigations came in three days, and the business was in a mess.

'You don't have to be so cruel to a little girl, right? ’ Theo slandered Emily, ‘It’s fine if you break up, give me a chance to act, I don’t know how to cherish such a good partner. '

On the other hand, when Xi Yaxin returned home early today, she was shocked by everything at home.

People coming and going shuttled outside to carry things, and two seals were stuck on the gate. Uncle Kevin, who was well-dressed in the past, looked a little bleak at this moment, and lit a cigarette that he would not normally smoke, puffing away.

"This, what's the matter?" Xi Yaxin was particularly puzzled, and stepped forward to grab Kevin's sleeve.

"Cough cough ~" Xi Yaxin, who was irritated by the smell of smoke, coughed a few times, and she saw a lot of blood in Kevin's eyes.

"Thea Xin?" Kevin took another drag on his cigarette, "Uncle, I'm bankrupt."

Xi Yaxin's eyes widened, "Didn't it be fine yesterday? How could..."

"Probably since last Friday, there were problems with the previous approval documents, internal corruption, various investors, and the bank's arrears, coupled with the suppression of competitors, the company disappeared."

Kevin said lightly, but Xi Yaxin was stunned.

Wasn't it last Friday when she got rejected by Emily

'It's not such a coincidence, is it? 'Thea Sheen couldn't believe it,' Emily? Why? Impossible! It doesn't make sense at all...'

"You guessed it." The big hand full of smoke covered the top of Xi Yaxin's head, and rubbed it vigorously, messing up the light blonde hair that was smooth and smooth.

"It's really her?" There was tremor in Xi Yaxin's tone.

"I don't blame you, it's because of some friction between me and Emily before, and some recent incidents." Kevin patted Theasin on purpose, "Relax, don't blame yourself."

'Is it really my fault? What did I do?' Thea Sim began to doubt herself, 'Rejected Emily for a few days, she...she can do it? Is it my fault? Really me is it wrong? '

Seeing Uncle Kevin's house become like this, Xi Yaxin's guilt grew. She couldn't figure it out, but the guilt in her heart was rising rapidly.

"Don't look unacceptable." Kevin kicked the only cardboard box in front of them. "These are all our belongings. At worst, we have to start all over again."

Xi Yaxin squatted down, opened the cardboard box, and her consciousness was swept away, and it turned out that it was full of her clothes!

"Your favorite bear is also inside, I took it out for you." Kevin gestured.

Theasin hugged the brown bear, then looked up at the slightly slovenly Kevin, her eyes were red and moist.

First, Emily ignored her and let others ridicule her, then the office hall refused to accept her, she couldn't call her mother to inquire about the situation, then there was the matter of the music restaurant, and finally...Uncle Kevin went bankrupt.. .

One thing after another, Xi Yaxin was almost out of breath.

Obviously, it was fine a few days ago, why, why did it suddenly become like this

By the time all the workers carrying things had evacuated, it was already sunset.

"Where do we live today?" Theasin looked up at Kevin.

"Wherever you want to live, I have tried bridge holes, sewers, park chairs, and bank gates."

Xi Yaxin's face was pale, and the weather had just turned cold. Sleeping in that kind of place would definitely catch a cold.

"Just kidding," Kevin said with a smile, "I still have a little money, let's deal with it for one night, and I'm looking for a house tomorrow."

"Money!" Xi Yaxin's eyes lit up, "Uncle, I still have the money I earned from a part-time job, can you use it?"

"Keep your own pocket money, how many can there be?" Kevin said, picking up the cardboard box containing the clothes.

"There are more than 40,000 federal currency!" Xi Yaxin shouted.

"Keep yourself...how much?" Kevin raised an eyebrow.

"It's 45,100 federal currency to be exact." Theasin said seriously.

"Have you been working part-time for half a month?" Kevin said excitedly, "How could it be possible to earn so much? What did you do?!"
