Chapter 1172: Lost It to Money

Back in her room, Lin Wenwen prepared to get changed and to go the gym to work out. She had been adjusting her body and doing sports these days. Hence, her muscles were still sore at the moment.
She couldn’t stop though. She knew how hard it could be. Nonetheless, the difficulties that she had conquered before were a little easier than what she was facing now. The seventeen-year-old Dong Xinxin was really too fat!
She changed her clothes and planned to spend another two hours in the gym. But once she opened the door, she saw Dong Lijia walking toward her while talking to the phone.
“Alright, don’t worry! I’ll be there soon. We won’t be late. Okay, bye.”
Seeing Lin Wenwen come out, he immediately ended the call and barred her road. “You’re working pretty hard,” he looked at Lin Wenwen’s sports suit and said, “If my sister was doing this by herself, she might not last even a day.”
Lin Wenwen shrugged as she looked at him and said, “I doubt that. What I said just now was not a lie. The current Dong Xinxin is no longer the seventeen-year-old girl who knew nothing. She might have worked even harder than I am.”
She had to work hard. She must do what Dong Xinxin asked, so that the girl could gain some original energy from her own body and recover. After that, the latter would figure out a way to send her back to the future.
“Why are you here?” she looked at Dong Lijia and said.
Dong Lijia looked at her and said, “Are you a man or not? Tell me who you really are. I’ll go and find out if you’re lying or not! If you lie to me, I’ll…” That problem was still bothering him.
“You’ll what? Hit me? You can’t defeat me, can you? Will you scheme against me? That can happen. But, as I’ve told you, I’m not a man. You are quite persistent! Even if I were a man wearing her skin, I couldn’t marry her for that sole reason. Have you asked your sister about her feelings? This is pointless.” Hearing him mention that joke she made earlier once again, Lin Wenwen impatiently pushed away his arm.
She had already discovered a benefit brought by Dong Xinxin’s body. She was heavy enough to bump people away! She didn’t have great strength, but she had a low center of gravity.
“You! You just wait and see!” Dong Lijia believed more firmly that the one who was wearing his sister’s skin was a man, and a short-tempered man at that!
“This is between Dong Xinxin and me. You better stay out of it. As her brother, you’ve been watching her too closely. My big brother isn’t like you!” Lin Wenwen said to him while walking toward the gym.
“That’s because Xinxin is still too young. She doesn’t know things yet. Wait! Wait! Don’t go!” Dong Lijia still believed that his sister was a seventeen years old girl who needed his protection. He was her big brother, and that was his responsibility. But soon, another thing crossed his mind, so he hurriedly called after her and walked to her in big steps.
“Go and put on a pretty dress now. I’ll take you to a place,” He held Lin Wenwen’s hand and made her turn around to look at him.
“A dress? What the hell? Why would I be wearing that?” Lin Wenwen looked at him with confusion. Recalling him say that he would take her to a place, she continued, “Wait. You’re not gonna take me to that Young Master Luo’s place, are you?”
“Eh? How do you know?” Dong Lijia instantly wore a look of surprise.
Lin Wenwen rolled her eyes and said, “Those two idiots called me and asked me to go. I don’t plan to go though.”
“Idiots? Who?” Dong Lijia didn’t figure out whom she was talking about.
“That’s not important. Do you want to take me there? I’m not going,” said Lin Wenwen determinedly. Having finished talking, she turned and intended to leave. Currently, she only wanted to focus on two tasks—help Dong Xinxin recover so that girl could send her back to the future; thereafter, purchase as many goods as she could, store them in her space, and bring them back to the future with her.
“Why not? Don’t you want to… Ah, I mean, my sister wants to meet with Wu Minghao. She begged me to take her to the party the last time. You are not my sister, but you’re using her body. You need to impress Wu Minghao on her behalf! I’ve told everyone that I’ll bring Xinxin to the party. How can you not go?” Dong Lijia didn’t accept her answer. He darted up to her and talked and talked.
Lin Wenwen felt so annoyed.
He actually wanted her to impress the boy that his sister liked! Shouldn’t he be telling her to focus on studies and not be distracted?
She told him that she would not go and that she did not want to go. Hearing what she said, Dong Lijia looked at her suspiciously and said, “Is it because you’re a man? You don’t want to go to the party because you are a man, but you’re now in a girl’s body, right?”
Lin Wenwen wasn’t expecting him to bring that up again, and she even wanted to kick him away. She gave a fake smile as she furrowed her brows and said to him with a slight trace of a sulk, “Your sister isn’t interested in Wu Minghao now! Who knows if that Wu Minghao will turn into a zombie or not in three months! I don’t want to waste time! Go away!”
The two girls were annoying her constantly, but at least they didn’t show up in front of her. She never thought that Dong Lijia would annoy her with the same thing as they did!
“No way! We invited Wu Minghao because of Xinxin. If you don’t show up, we’d feel embarrassed!” Dong Lijia didn’t give up and strongly insisted. For Xinxin’s future happiness, he decided to take Lin Wenwen to the party. Perhaps, Xinxin might wake up once she saw the boy she liked.
With that thought, Dong Lijia held Lin Wenwen’s arm and attempted to drag her back into her room to get changed. He failed, then tried again, and then failed again. The third time, he still failed…
Lin Wenwen looked at him expressionlessly. ‘Go ahead and drag me. See if you can make me move an inch!’
Dong Lijia fell into silence.
Damn it! He really couldn’t move her. Since violence was not a solution, his only other choice was to use his brain. He had an idea, actually. She needed money, didn’t she?
“How about this, you go with me tonight, and then I’ll give you another five-hundred thousand.”
This time, Lin Wenwen fell into silence.
God! She really couldn’t say no to that! Five-hundred-thousand could be used to buy a lot of food and medicines!
She found that Dong Lijia was a little sly!
At last, she said yes under the temptation of money. Missing two hours of exercise wouldn’t be a big deal anyway.
Dong Lijia raised his brows and give a perky smile. His young, pretty face was toned with a winner’s happiness, which erased his frustration caused by Lin Wenwen’s strong attitude.
Lin Wenwen saw the smile on his face before she walked into her room. For some reason, she wanted to beat him up.
