Chapter 77 The incident happened Building 26, 402. "Come out and pick out birthday presents!" "Finally you still have some conscience!" After receiving Chen Yu's message, Ai Qin jumped out of bed excitedly. The girl carefully selected a black lace suspender skirt, the hem of which swayed above her knees, and below it were slender straight legs wrapped in black silk stockings, with both feet stepping on a pair of stiletto heels. Her face was delicately made up, with bright lipstick applied, and she looked delicate and charming. Ai Qin blinked in the mirror with satisfaction and asked Xu Hui, "Hui Hui, do I look good today?" Xu Hui said speechlessly: "You have asked me eight or ten times today." "Have you made an appointment with Chen Yu?" "Bah, what do you mean I ask him out, he asks me out." Xu Hui looked unconvinced.
Ai Qin giggled, then showed the chat history to Xu Hui, "Look, look, he asked me out." Ai Qin is somewhat arrogant and ostentatious. "Really? Looks like we're just one step away from success!" This "lasting blow" reminded Ai Qin, "If he doesn't break up with the girl he's dating online, I won't get close to him." Xu Hui rolled her eyes imperceptibly, thinking: What is this now? Isn't it close enough? Alas, to be honest, if she put herself in his shoes, she would be much more proactive than Ai Qin, but she is really not worthy of him. I’ll find a chance to add him as a friend some other day, and let Chen Yu introduce me to some high-quality friends… It’s OK if he’s rich, but he doesn’t have to be too handsome, or I won’t be able to hold him over. Ai Qin ran to the bathroom, lifted her collar to look at her red lace underwear, then lifted her skirt and checked her lower body. Ai Qin is also perfect today! The girl was thinking, and just as she was about to go out, her cell phone rang. The caller ID showed "Mom". Ai Qin answered the phone, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she asked coldly: "What's the matter?" The mother's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiaoqin, are you free now? Give the bank card with the last number 0812 to Hongsha." Ai Qin asked doubtfully, "What are you doing for Hong Sha?" "Did something happen in Hongsha's family?" Ai Qin suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. Ai Qin's mother was silent for a moment, but eventually told her what happened. "Hong Sha's mother was cheated and now owes a lot of money. She also mortgaged her house. I heard that the court is coming to take back the house." "Hong Yemin wanted to help, but he couldn't contact Wang Xinlan, so..." Ai Qin took a deep breath. She remembered how little pocket money Hong Sha received every month compared to other students, and fell silent. "I understand. I'll find a chance to give it to her." Ai Qin said and was about to hang up the phone. "Xiaoqin, wait!" someone suddenly shouted from the other end. There was silence on the other end for a while: "Xiaoqin, are you sure you want to live with your dad and not with me?"
Ai Qin said coldly: "I want to ask you, how can I live my life if you are my mistress? Do you know how I feel? The day before yesterday, I asked you if it was true, and when you said the word 'yes', I felt like I was struck by lightning!" "I'm speechless! I don't even dare to look up at Hong Sha now!" Ai Qin's eyes were red and she felt a tightness in her chest. She had submitted an application to change her dormitory yesterday, but the counselor has not yet approved it because it is not just her business. "Your father and I divorced and lived together three years ago... I, I didn't cheat. And he and I lost our feelings a long time ago. This family is maintained because of you. Now Xiaoqin, you are also in college. As a woman, I am also qualified to pursue my own happiness..." Ai Qin said hoarsely: "Please understand me too!" Go ahead, Ai Qin hung up the phone immediately and leaned against the wall weakly. …… At the same time, the shop was about to close at the milk tea shop. The warm yellow light sprinkled in the shop, making it look particularly empty. "Sister Ke Ling, I'm going to trouble you again tonight." Hong Sha tried to force a smile on her face, but her tone was a little tired. Mother and daughter came to stay here tonight, and she couldn't take her mother back to the dormitory, which was embarrassing in itself, not to mention Ai Qin was also there, so she couldn't go back. Ke Ling waved her hand: "No trouble." She stared at Hong Sha's face and found nothing unusual. Wang Xinlan on the side forced a smile, as if she had aged all of a sudden, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the dull look in her eyes reminded her of her age. Hong Sha gently pushed her mother and said, "Mom, go upstairs and have a rest first." Wang Xinlan stood up obediently and walked up to the second floor with a staggering step. Looking at her mother's tired back, Hong Sha's eyes were dim, and no one knew what she was thinking. The girl sat at the bar in a daze. Ke Ling broke the silence: "Shasha, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go outside and buy you a lunch box." Ke Ling felt a little worried that the girl who always laughed cheerfully was now so taciturn. "No need, Sister Ke Ling, I'm not hungry." Hong Sha seemed to see Ke Ling's worry and smiled. "By the way, do you know the situation?" During this half day, she saw Wang Xinlan sneaking out from time to time to answer the phone, and she knew that her mother's situation was not as simple as just lending out 200,000 yuan. Seeing Ke Ling's hesitation, Hong Sha smiled and said, "The biggest hurdle in my life is my father's divorce from my mother. What else is there?" Ke Ling sighed and had to tell Wang Xinlan what she had learned. Hong Sha listened to the whole thing expressionlessly, with no fluctuations on her face, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her. But Ke Ling saw that the girl's hands were tightly grasping the military training uniform, and the knuckles of her fingers were white. "If you don't have a house, then rent one." Hong Sha's voice was frighteningly calm. "Maybe we'll find that guy in a few days..." Ke Ling tried to comfort her. Hong Sha nodded: "Yeah." Ke Ling walked over reluctantly and gently patted the girl on the back, but the girl grabbed her hand and shook her head gently, "It's okay, don't worry too much, Sister Ke Ling." After saying that, she took a deep breath, turned around and went upstairs. My mother, Wang Xinlan, was already asleep on the sofa at this time. There was visible fatigue between her brows and her eyelids trembled from time to time. It was obvious that she was not sleeping well. Hong Sha helped Wang Xinlan lift the blanket, then glanced at the phone that the latter was holding tightly in her hand, pursed her lips, pried her fingers apart, took out the phone, and tiptoed downstairs. Ke Ling looked at Hong Sha in surprise.
Hong Sha asked Ke Ling for paper and pen, and then began to check Wang Xinlan's cell phone. She wrote down the numbers one by one on the paper, and during this time a phone call came in: A rude male voice came from the other end: "Ms. Wang, the loan you applied for from our company has expired. The total amount including late payment fees is 83,520 yuan. It is seriously overdue for eight days and is suspected of loan fraud. Please make sure to pay it back today--" "How much is the principal?" Hong Sha interrupted the other party and asked calmly. The other end was stunned. He didn't expect it to be such a young voice: "The principal is 70,000 yuan." My mother borrowed money from a loan shark... The girl's heart sank even more. Hong Sha took a deep breath, her face turned pale, then she hung up the phone and wrote down the number on a piece of paper. Ke Ling sat nearby, looking at the scattered numbers on the paper, and made a rough estimate herself. While secretly frightened, she grabbed Hong Sha's hand and stroked it gently. Hong Sha used the calculator in the store to add up the numbers and finally came up with a number: 221912. Including the house at home, it is estimated to be more than . "Aunt, how could this happen..." Ke Ling couldn't help but ask. In her impression, Wang Xinlan has always been a frugal woman, so how could she owe so much debt? At this time, another debt collection call came in. Hong Sha asked about the principal in the same way and hung up the phone immediately. Hong Sha pressed the calculator, and the number got bigger again. The girl said softly, "She deserves it. She died because of her poor taste in choosing men." Ke Ling was silent, then spoke with difficulty: "I'll lend your mother another 30,000 yuan. It's a drop in the bucket, but pay off the high-interest loan first, and don't leave... You can't bear it like this." Ke Ling knew how terrible the outbreak of this kind of debt was. She was just late in paying the money for purchasing goods last month, but she was already being pressed for payment... Now there are so many debts, some of which are high-interest loans, it would be really life-threatening to have to pay them back. "It's no use borrowing. You have to pay it back eventually." Hong Sha suddenly said, "Sister Ke Ling, can you help me find a part-time job?" Ke Ling suggested: "Shasha, why don't you come to my store." "Is that enough?" Chen Yu bought her cousin's shop. She heard from her bestie about this big news. Besides, she not only refused to take Chen Yu's salary, but also didn't want to be a light bulb. "We need people." Ke Ling suddenly opened up and talked about the future business plans. "When I was a freshman, I didn't even have the idea of starting a business, let alone the brains. You, my high school classmate..." Hong Sha was silent for a while, then said dryly, "Forget it." Ke Ling suddenly thought of something and said, "Shasha, Chen Yu is so capable, you are not as good as him - he hasn't caught up with Yu Weiwei yet anyway." Halfway through her words, she felt Hong Sha's fingers suddenly exert force, which hurt her so much that she realized she had said something wrong and that she had hurt Hong Sha's self-esteem, so she suddenly shut up. As a cousin with whom she has a good relationship, Ke Ling knows that although Hong Sha looks carefree, she actually has a very strong self-esteem since childhood. Hong Sha had a blank expression on her face: "Sister Ke Ling, they are helping the poor? I'm not trying to get ahead." (End of this chapter)
