Zhuang Tunan worked overtime during the New Year and injured his leg. He accompanied his parents back to the alley. Although Li Jia wanted to walk with him, his family always opposed it. Lin Dongzh...

Chapter 163 Borrowing Money

Seeing Zhou Yuxiang's aggressive demeanor, Xiang Pengfei was clearly also a little angry, but thinking of his father waiting for him in the emergency room, he could only nod and say, "Fine! If that's what you think, I won't argue with you. I'll go borrow money from somewhere else!"

Zhou Yuxiang sneered and said, "Go somewhere else? You're just looking for my brother. You think you can get help from anyone but us siblings? I doubt anyone else will even lend you 50,000 yuan!"

"Then you don't need to worry about that. I'm going to borrow the money no matter what to save my dad!"

"Fine! I won't care about you, and you shouldn't care about me either. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce tomorrow morning!"

"I don't have the time. I borrowed the money today, but I still need to rush to Shanghai for my dad's surgery. If you want a divorce, you'll have to wait until I get back!"

"Okay, I've drafted the agreement, you sign it, and I can get a divorce myself!"

"What agreement?"

"From this day forward, Yapeng Transportation Co., Ltd. has nothing to do with me!"

"I've invested over 300,000 yuan in this company, and I still have 200,000 yuan in loans to repay. You're saying it's okay and it's okay?"

"Your loan is a company-backed loan, so the company will repay it for you. Once you signed the agreement, it has nothing to do with you anymore!"

"What if the bank asks me for the money again after I sign the agreement?"

"Don't worry! I won't cheat you!"

"Hmph, you've already divorced me, and you still won't take advantage of me? Am I being too naive?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you sign the agreement or not. Anyway, I've told my uncle that I'm not helping you anymore. You can wander around however you want; it's none of our business!"

Xiang Pengfei narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "Aren't you afraid that I'll report you for collusion between officials and businessmen and for favoritism and corruption?"

Zhou Yuxiang suddenly tilted her head back and laughed, "If you have such thoughts, you won't be able to leave this courtyard. I'll have the driver run you over and crush your corpse into mincemeat!"

"You, you're so vicious!"

"Haha, you'd better be smart and not make me angry. I'll make sure you die a whole death, so get out of here right now, or you'll regret it!"

Xiang Pengfei looked at the people and things in front of him, and the transportation company he had worked so hard to build, which had suddenly become completely unrelated to him and had been lost in a muddle.

Yesterday he was a company owner with a net worth of nearly a million, but in an instant he fell to rock bottom and is now in a situation where he has to borrow money from all over the place to treat his father's illness.

Xiang Pengfei felt more and more wronged as he thought about it, but he didn't know who to confide in or shed tears to.

He turned around, his steps slightly hesitant, his body seemingly aged, hunched over, just like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

Before Xiang Pengfei could even step out of the company gate, the sky suddenly darkened, a dark cloud swept in, and a torrential downpour soaked Xiang Pengfei to the bone.

Standing at the door, Zhou Yuxiang looked at Xiang Pengfei and gave a cold, mocking smile. Letting the rain drench Xiang Pengfei's body, she slammed the door shut and no longer cared about where Xiang Pengfei had gone.

At this moment, Xiang Pengfei looked like a homeless person, but he was still conscious. He got into the car he had driven and drove away from the company that no longer belonged to him.

He quickly drove to the alley entrance, intending to help tidy up the newsstand. When he arrived, he saw that Lin Dongzhe had already covered all the books and newspapers with plastic film, and none of them got wet.

When Lin Dongzhe, who was hiding in the pavilion, saw Xiang Pengfei arrive, he quickly said to Xiang Pengfei, "Brother Pengfei, what brings you here?"

Xiang Pengfei wiped the rain off his face and said, "It's raining, isn't it? I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it, so I came to check on you!"

"Don't worry, Pengfei! I've already prepared plastic sheeting, it'll be fine!"

"It's alright, it's alright. I don't have anything else to do, you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on the other side!"

"Oh, Pengfei, do you need me to find you some clothes? You're all soaked!"

Xiang Pengfei staggered around, waving his hand as he did so, and said, "No need, I'm going to find my brother-in-law."

Lin Dongzhe watched as Xiang Pengfei crossed the road and entered the movie theater.

The ticket seller in the attic naturally knew that Xiang Pengfei was the boss's brother-in-law, so he didn't bother to stop him and let Xiang Pengfei go in.

Xiang Pengfei walked down the corridor to the office and knocked on the door.

Zhou Chengzhi opened the door for Xiang Pengfei. He was surprised to see that Xiang Pengfei was soaking wet and asked, "What's wrong, brother-in-law?"

Xiang Pengfei stared at Zhou Chengzhi without saying anything, and held up five fingers at Zhou Chengzhi!

Zhou Chengzhi smiled faintly and said, "I know! I've already prepared it for you. It's just 50,000 yuan, right? I'll give it to you. We're really close relatives. I'm your brother-in-law, and you're my brother-in-law. Don't say 50,000, I'll give you 100,000. How about it, brother-in-law?"

Xiang Pengfei suddenly turned to Zhou Chengzhi and said in a tearful voice, "Brother, brother-in-law, we're going to have nothing to do with each other right now. Your sister doesn't want me anymore, and the transportation company has nothing to do with me anymore!"

Zhou Chengzhi, however, said confidently, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, it's absolutely impossible. Believe me or not, I can get Zhou Yuxiang over here in a minute to apologize and admit her mistake. Don't worry! This divorce won't happen!"

As Zhou Chengzhi spoke, he picked up the telephone receiver in the office and dialed a number.

Soon, Zhou Yuxiang's voice came through the microphone, saying, "Hello, who is it?"

"I am your elder brother, Zhou Chengzhi!"

"Is there something you need?"

"What's wrong with you? Why do you want to divorce Pengfei? My brother-in-law is such a good person, how can you just abandon him like this? Aren't you afraid of regretting it?"

"Zhou Chengzhi, who are you talking to! Believe me or not, I won't even acknowledge you as my brother anymore!"

"No! Why did you divorce Pengfei?"

"He cheated on me with his mistress, how could I not divorce him?"

"this,,?"

"Alright, stop acting like you're the boss when you talk to me. Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary. I think you're just being nosy and meddling in other people's business!"

"I,,!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Don't mess with me, bye!"

Hearing the busy tone in his ear, Zhou Chengzhi smiled awkwardly at Xiang Pengfei and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely talk to her and won't let her divorce you. By the way, what's wrong with my sister? Why is she so determined to divorce you?"

"Zhao Ping brought me some food this morning, and she saw it. She assumed we were having an affair, so she got jealous and started making a scene!"

"Zhao Ping? Oh, I know, she's Zhao Hujiang's eldest daughter, right?"

"Yes, there's nothing between me and her!"

"Zhao Ping is quite pretty. If I hadn't met your sister-in-law beforehand, I would have been interested in pursuing her. Although she is pretty, I think she's not as good as your sister-in-law!"

"Brother, I really have nothing to do with Zhao Ping. Yu Xiang has misunderstood me!"

"I know, and I believe you're innocent. Don't worry, I'll definitely talk to Yuxiang. By the way, your clothes are soaked, right? I'll get you some clothes to change into!"

"No need, driver. I have 50,000 yuan in cash that I urgently need. My dad had a heart attack and needs heart bypass surgery."

While Xiang Pengfei was speaking, Zhou Chengzhi had already found him a change of clothes and tossed them to him, saying, "Change into these! Don't catch a cold!"

At this moment, Xiang Pengfei sneezed and said, "Thank you, brother. I will definitely pay you back. Don't worry, I definitely will!"

"No need to return it, we're really close relatives. Take it and use it. If you need more, just let me know and I'll get you more. By the way, there's an umbrella by the door. Don't get wet. It's not good for your health if you're wet."

"Okay, I'll be going now, bro! I still need to do surgery on my dad!"

"Okay, slow down!"

As Xiang Pengfei walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Zhou Chengzhi, "Brother, Huang Zijuan has already gone to the real estate bureau to reissue my aunt's property certificate. You can't steal it now!"

Zhou Chengzhi blushed with embarrassment and said, "I didn't steal it. Why would I steal that thing? I didn't!"
