Chapter 294: 294, troublesome, endless nagging.
“What?” Song Qinghuan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Our business is gone? Our savings are gone? And we even owe a million?”
A million to the ordinary commoner is a astronomical figure, and many people would never make that much in a single lifetime.
“Huanhuan, it’s not because you refuse to give us money, Xiaotao’s education is a huge problem, we had to buy a house in a good school district, so I had to take a gamble, I never expected it to end up like this.”
Song Qiliang, with sorrow and regret in his eyes, looked at Song Qinghuan, beating his own head and remorsefully yelled, “Huanhuan, your father has always treated you well, you can’t just watch us sink!”
Angered, Song Qinghuan responded, “How am I supposed to help you! A million isn’t just a hundred!”
She had always been closely examining Song Qiliang, trying to figure out whether his remorse was genuine or just an act.
Upon hearing this, Lu Meiyan’s face suddenly darkened, and she snapped angrily, “You ungrateful little girl, you’re living in a luxurious house, a million to you is not even one hair off a yak’s back!”
Song Qinghuan angrily explained, “I’ve told you time and time again, this isn’t my house, I’m just temporarily living here.”
Lu Meiyan yelled at Song Qinghuan again, “You heartless little girl, this is a matter of life and death, are you really going to keep your money locked away?”
“How many times do I need to say it before you understand, I have no money,” Song Qinghuan said, pulling out her bank card from her purse and throwing it to Lu Meiyan, “This is all the money I’ve saved recently. This is all I have. I’ve given you everything. You figure out the rest.”
Lu Meiyan grabbed the card and asked urgently, “How much is on it?”
Song Qinghuan didn’t answer her question, and not wanting to deal with them anymore, ran off towards the subway station.
Seeing Song Qiliang and Lu Meiyan did not chase after her, Song Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She initially wanted to call Song Ci to confirm whether Song Qiliang really had a million dollar debt, but decided against it in the end.
What would knowing the truth accomplish, when she had no money to help them with anyway.
She thought the issue was resolved since she already gave her money to Song Qiliang and Lu Meiyan.
But who could have predicted not only was the issue not resolved, her savings did not even put a stop to Song Qiliang and Lu Meiyan’s madness, but instead emboldened them even further.
Song Qinghuan had taken three days off, so she didn’t have to go to work starting tomorrow, thus she had to handle some affairs, causing her to finish work quite late.
As she entered the office lobby, she heard a familiar voice shout, “You can’t hide anymore, finally deigned to show up!”
She glanced up and saw Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang again.
Song Qinghuan froze, a chill spread over her body.
What were they planning to do, causing a scene at her workplace, had they lost their minds? Or were they really trying to ruin her life?
Song Qinghuan tightened her grip, her palm sweating from the tension.
Due to the matter with Yan Pingdan, she had a guilty conscience. Lu Meiyan’s antics were making her extremely nervous, fearing she might reveal her real identity.
Lu Meiyan marched up to her, “Eight thousand, are you treating us like beggars?”
“That was all the money I had.” Song Qinghuan replied in a low voice. She only had a thousand left and still needed to go to a rural town to find someone. She was considering asking Mei Jun for a loan.
Had they not been at the office, she would have retorted angrily long ago.
