Bros, with all the recent discussion in the Monger's Lounge about sinking or girls scamming, I thought it's worthwhile to bump this up and update you guys about what happened.
Anyway, after the posts above, I emailed her and just told her that I didn't have money. That I'm having financial difficulties myself and money is short at my end. She replied that she understood and that she managed to get help from relatives (surprise surprise....).
We still kept in touch by email after that, just talked about stuff, etc. No money talk.
Anyway, I met her again in Feb a few weeks ago. I was in Macau and had some business to take care of in HK. So I emailed her and asked her if she wanted to join me. She said ok and I transferred her RMB 1000 so that she could a) Take the train down & b) Pay her colleagues a bit to cover the days when she's not at work.
We spent 4 days together in HK and it was quite nice. This time, we didn't do any shopping except for some clothes that cost about HKD 700 in total. One of the nights, I asked her why she emailed me to ask for money and told her upfront that I know she's not being truthful and PRC girls have a bad rep for this. She broke down in front of me and admitted that it was a lie. That the reason she emailed me was cos her mum needed the money to pay off some colleagues at work. Her mum knows that she has a foreigner as a bf (ie, me) and told her to ask me for the money. She said that she was initially hesitant but her mum pressured her to do so. And she was furious with her mum when I rejected cos she knew that I saw the scam and she was upset that her mum made her do something that would piss me off.
I told her that truly I was pissed and I really didn't like that. We then made sweet sweet loving and I could feel the intensity of the make-up sex. So it was all good after that.
At the end of my trip, I gave her HKD 3,000 (basically my balance HKD in my wallet) and she refused to take it. Forced it upon her and she still refused. At one point, she ranted something in Mandarin along the lines of "I'm no longer in that line...you don't have to pay me!" (my Mandarin sucks but I think I got the drift). But since she's spent 4 days with me, I thought that it's fair that she gets paid something. Just told her that I know she needs the money and she should take it.
So yeah, that's that. I guess it turned out not so bad after all. | |
