Chapter 293: 293, Debt collection, asking for money
“How will you thank me?” Zhan Cheng, clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.
Song Qinghuan felt both embarrassed and speechless: “I’ll treat you to a meal later, I have to hang up now!”
“Wait, wait…” Zhan Cheng’s voice suddenly cut off as Song Qinghuan hung up the phone and even turned it off.
She should try to limit contact with Zhan Cheng in the future. Regardless of whether the people from yesterday were targeting her or Zhan Cheng, it was better not to involve each other.
She chose not to call because she reasoned that since she had been saved, then surely Zhan Cheng had been saved too, given that she passed out before he did.
Therefore, even if she did not call him, she knew he would be alright.
Looking up, she suddenly met Shi Yuhuan’s dark and unfathomable gaze.
Song Qinghuan stiffened slightly.
In an instant, Shi Yuhuan’s cold gaze moved away, but it made Song Qinghuan feel as if she had just done something unutterably wrong.
Immediately, she felt somewhat uncomfortable, watching as Shi Yuhuan seemed on the verge of saying something.
Instead, Shi Yuhuan abruptly stood up, leaving her once again with his aloof and arrogant silhouette.
Biting her lip, Song Qinghuan continued eating her breakfast, puzzled. She had only called Zhan Cheng, it wasn’t something to feel guilty or wrong about.
He had even dined with Zhan Jie last night, hadn’t he?
Even though they had agreed not to interfere with each other’s principles, why should it matter if they were only calling each other as ordinary friends?
The food that she continued to feed herself suddenly became tasteless.
Song Qinghuan didn’t feel like eating anymore and got up to go to work, her bag in hand.
Unexpectedly, when she was outside the apartment complex, she saw her mother Lu Meiyan, and her stepfather Song Qiliang.
Song Qinghuan was utterly astonished: “What are you all doing here?”
She hadn’t told anyone that she lived here, not even Mei Jun. So how did these two find out where she lived?
Song Qiliang had a pleased grin on his face: “One of my friends said that he saw you frequently entering and leaving this place. I didn’t believe it at first but turns out, it’s true.”
Lu Meiyan shot Song Qinghuan an angry glare, scolding: “You ungrateful girl, living in a luxury apartment while your mother struggles.”
Song Qinghuan looked at them with a headache: “No, this isn’t my home, I’m just staying with a friend?”
Lu Meiyan clearly didn’t believe her, and said venomously: “Whose place? You must be a wealthy friend to afford living here. Out of all the friends you have, who would have the money to let you live here? Tell me, did your brother take a huge amount of money and buy you a house here?”
Song Qinghuan was at a loss for words: “What are you talking about? I don’t have time for this, I have to go to work.”
She tried to sidestep them, hoping to leave quickly, but Song Qiliang quickly blocked her path: “Huanhuan, you cannot ignore us in times of need. We need you right now. I admit it’s my fault, but if you don’t help us, our family will be ruined.”
Song Qinghuan was about to respond, but Lu Meiyan rushed over.
She slapped Song Qiliang on the shoulder, crying out like a desperate woman: “You shameless man, you dare to speak up! Without you, would we have lost our store?”
Song Qinghuan’s heart jumped: “What happened?”
Lu Meiyan wailed: “Your father recently met a friend who is wealthy. However, he had no money of his own, and decided to gamble with this person. He lost a bit of money at first, but now he’s lost everything. He’s not only lost our shop and savings, but he’s also owing a million out there!”
