Chapter 1200 Michaela's Invitation

Although the business card had been burned, Bumblebee had already scanned it. Seeing that Su Xiuyu no longer tried to stop him, Bumblebee left the scene directly, leaving only Su Xiuyu and Michaela who had not left yet.

Su Xiuyu didn't care about Michaela and planned to leave, but suddenly he remembered who Michaela was. Michaela was one of the protagonists of this world. The reason why she was emphasized as the protagonist was because the real protagonists of this world were not humans, but the Transformers.

Su Xiuyu originally planned to leave directly, but when he thought that Michaela was one of the protagonists, and that there might be some unexpected surprises later, he asked, "Do you want me to take you back?"

There was a trace of struggle and hesitation in Michaela's eyes. She held the banknotes tightly in her hand, as if it was her last hope. This $1000 was of great significance to her. It not only represented the money itself, but also meant that it could solve the current difficulties in her life. However, facing the other party's request, she was full of contradictions and helplessness.

Michaela's family situation was very difficult, and poverty was always around. Her father turned to crime because of poverty and ended up in prison, leaving her alone to bear the burden of the family. As a senior high school student, she was not doing well in her studies, but she was an adult and could work outside to make a living. Without this income, she would have difficulty filling her stomach.

The subsidy provided by the school can indeed meet the living needs of ordinary people, but it is far from enough for families with special circumstances like Michaela. Her family cannot provide support, and she even needs to pay rent for her place to live. Although the rent is not much, it still brings a heavy burden to a student.

Michaela gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath, slowly loosened her hand, and handed over the stack of bills. She knew that compromise at this moment might bring temporary peace, but deep in her heart she was full of reluctance and helplessness. The pressure of life made her breathless, but she still faced the reality firmly.

"Forget it, you don't have to give it back to me. Just consider it as compensation. I just wanted to catch up with that Chevrolet."

Su Xiu Yu saw that Michaela was reluctant to leave. US dollars were certainly tempting these days, but Michaela was not so greedy and was still willing to pay back the money. Su Xiu Yu could see that Michaela's family conditions were probably not that good.

"You really don't have to pay it back? If what you said is true, then I really want you to accept it. Maybe this 1000 is nothing to you, but it is very important to me. It can be regarded as a windfall, enough for me to pay nearly three months' rent."

"It's okay, just take it. This 1000 is insignificant to me, but it can help you. You said it bluntly and I will respond to you bluntly. There are no other questions."

Su Xiuyu certainly didn't mind the $1000, but he was very clear about the purchasing power of $1000 in Los Angeles. In his previous life, Su Xiuyu himself was also an ordinary worker, and the money he earned a month was only about $1000 in US dollars, so Su Xiuyu was also very clear about the lives of ordinary people.

Hearing Su Xiuyu's straightforward explanation, Michaela was a little stunned - it had been a long time since she met such a sincere person. There were no superficial greetings and courtesies, but there was no contempt either.

After getting in the car, Michaela finally remembered that she didn't seem to ask about Bumblebee, because although Bumblebee was very shocked, its importance to Michaela was not as important as $1000. But Michaela was also very curious.

"The Chevrolet just now was a robot?"

"Didn't you see it? It's a 5-meter-tall robot, almost as tall as a two-story building, and it can talk. It's really a robot."

"Um... Is that some new weapon that the government has recently developed?"

"Do you think the U.S. government has such strong technological capabilities? They are aliens from Cybertron, very typical aliens. Of course, I don't recommend you tell anyone about it. First, no one will believe you and will think you are crazy. Second, if someone really believes what you say, there is a high possibility that they will arrest you to find out the truth."

As soon as Su Xiuyu made his analysis, Michaela believed it immediately. Indeed, in the eyes of most American people, the government plays such a role. If you really know any secrets, government agents will come to your door.

"So your best bet is to pretend you know nothing, so you don't get into trouble. By the way, where is your home?"

"West End."

The West Side of Los Angeles is a very broad concept, but its overall characteristics are that there are many black people, poor public security, relatively lower housing prices, and it is a more chaotic place than other areas in Los Angeles.

When Su Xiuyu's R8 drove into the West District, a large number of black people looked at him with malicious eyes, but Michaela comforted him, "The security here is indeed not good, but don't worry too much. As long as you don't get close to these bastards, there won't be any big problems. But if someone sneaks up on you, be careful."

It's hard to believe that a sexy girl living in such an area would have a bad ending. However, Michaela had misunderstood Su Xiu Yu and kicked him in the vitals - obviously Michaela was no pushover. A woman who could live in such a relatively chaotic slum must have some skills.

After going around in circles, they finally stopped in front of a narrow alley. This was where Michaela lived. The location was really good in the West District. When Su Xiuyu was about to leave, Michaela stopped him.

"? What's wrong? Aren't you home?"

"Why don't you come and sit for a while?" Michaela invited Su Xiu Yu. If Michaela was a little worried before, now she was expecting that Su Xiu Yu would agree.

"Could it be that you don't want to be our guest because you dislike the environment here?" Seeing that Su Xiuyu didn't move, Michaela changed her words.

"Not really." Su Xiuyu got out of the car and followed Michaela into Michaela's apartment. It was obviously an older apartment, and the elevator was very old. But this was expected. This was an old city, and the building was old. It was good enough that the facilities could be maintained.

When the elevator reached the 10th floor, Michaela led the way into a separate apartment. After opening the door, it was clear that the house was old, but the furnishings were neat and the environment was clean enough.

Many women dress up beautifully outside but are often a mess at home. It is obvious that Michaela is not that type of person.
