My boyfriend borrowed 100,000 yuan from me to help buy a car. But when it came time to pay me back, he simply transferred 15,000 yuan through WeChat and said, completely unapologetically, “I paid you in US dollars. I've been watching American TV shows lately, so I'm used to thinking like an American.” Then he shamelessly added, “A hundred thousand yuan comes to 14,000 US dollars. Keep the extra thousand and buy yourself a gift.”
“It's a small amount. Take it. I don't car.”
I stared at the 15,000-yuan WeChat transfer and his atrocious English, furious with rage.
“You converted yuan into dollars, then paid me back in yuan? You think you're the only one who knows how to do math?”
