Chapter 370: 370, If there is love, how could one be so heartless
The room was very quiet, a peaceful atmosphere beguiling its space, causing Song Qinghuan to wonder if she had come to the wrong place. Usually, every visit to the Song Family home was an overwhelmingly raucous occasion.
Lu Meiyan placed a glass of water in front of Song Qinghuan, “Song Ci was just here, but then she mysteriously said she had to go out to buy some medicine.”
To buy medicine? Song Qinghuan was taken aback. Could it be because her brother was injured, and Song Ci needed to buy medicine? Yet, why didn’t Lu Meiyan know anything about her brother’s affairs? Wasn’t he supposed to be at home?
Could Song Ci have hidden him?
Furthermore, she found Lu Meiyan acting rather strange today, being exceptionally polite and cautious towards her.
Was it because of the loan? Was she trying to deter her from borrowing money from her?
Her gaze settled on Lu Meiyan sitting opposite her, a stark contrast to her usual loud persona, unusually quiet, her eyes seemingly unfocused, lost in thought.
Was it because of the high-interest debt that she hadn’t gotten any rest recently?
The debt had seemingly lingered on for quite a while.
If she and Song Qiliang still can’t pay it off, she might need to borrow money to help them.
After all, regardless, Lu Meiyan was her mother, the woman who had given birth to her and raised her. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
She had tried to help before, borrowing some from her friends, though it was only a few tens of thousands. At that time, she and Shi Yuhuan weren’t together yet, and she neither dared nor wanted to borrow from him.
But now, things were different. Shi Yuhuan was her boyfriend, and it was only natural to turn to him when she was in trouble.
But if she helped them to repay their high-interest debt, wouldn’t they just gamble it away again?
Perhaps she should wait to talk to her brother. If he agreed, then she’d borrow from Shi Yuhuan, to help repay Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang’s debt; it would serve as a token of gratitude for her upbringing.
Looking forward to seeing her brother and reassuring herself that he was safe, Song Qinghuan’s spirits lifted. She gently called out to Lu Meiyan, “Mom, where did Song Ci go to buy medicine?”
Lu Meiyan sat quietly, oblivious to Song Qinghuan’s words.
Lu Meiyan was frightened, and the thoughts of the sequence of events after Song Ci fainted filled her mind.
She had no idea that a man was hiding in Song Xiaotao’s room. So, when she saw a man emerge from Song Xiaotao’s bedroom, donned in sunglasses and a face mask, she was utterly shocked.
Just as she was about to ask who he was, Song Qiliang came over in fawning hurry, “Boss, all is set. What should we do next?”
Lu Meiyan stared in shock at Song Qiliang, “What’s going on?”
“You’re just a housewife. Don’t concern yourself with this matter. Once Qinghuan arrives, we’ll proceed with the plan.” Song Qiliang said with a pointed look, continuing his conversation with the boss.
The man called ‘Boss’ said, “Hiding her here is not safe. I will be waiting outside in the car. You need to find a way to get her into the car.”
Song Qiliang obediently nodded, “Okay, no problem.”
Lu Meiyan was scared witless. Yanking Song Qiliang to her side, she demanded, “Are you out of your mind?! Why involve a stranger when we can handle it ourselves?”
She initially felt that kidnapping Song Qinghuan and asking Shi Yuhuan for money was not really a kidnapping, but a disguised way for a mother to get some cash from her daughter.
However, involving an outsider changed the equation considerably. It could genuinely be considered kidnapping, which was illegal.
