Zhao Kun was furious.
Three hundred thousand yuan was actually used to treat that old hag's illness. That was the money he was repaying to Brother Tiger. If he didn't pay back the money he borrowed last night, not to mention the interest, would Brother Tiger agree?
That guy is a ruthless man who eats people alive. He's always smiling, but if anyone dares to borrow money and not pay it back, losing an arm or a leg is the least of their worries. He's the kind of ruthless person who would even beat up his own father.
Oh no!
Zhao Kun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He roared, "You...you're going to kill me, do you know that? Why didn't you discuss this with me before doing it? I'm the head of this family. You gave the money to your mother without a word. Did you even consider my feelings? If I hadn't given you the money..."
Just as Zhao Kun was about to gamble away 300,000 yuan and let slip the secret, he stopped in time and quickly changed his words: "You...you're really making me angry."
Zhou Ling didn't notice that Zhao Kun almost let something slip. She thought Zhao Kun was just angry at her for acting on her own initiative. "Brother Kun, this was my fault. I wanted to talk to you about it, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so..."
"So you acted first and informed me later, Zhou Ling, you really are something else." Zhao Kun pointed at Zhou Ling, his fingers trembling, his liver aching with anger. Without the 300,000 yuan from his family, how could he answer Brother Hu? If it weren't for Zhou Ling's pregnancy, he would have really wanted to slap her. This spendthrift woman actually took money from her own pocket.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Zhou Ling comforted him, "Brother Kun, my dad said that we should just consider that money as a loan. I'm his daughter, and he'll definitely find a way to pay us back. You don't need to worry."
“He borrowed it? Haha… Zhou Ling, you say your dad will pay it back, but how will he pay it back? He doesn’t even have a job. He’s been staying at our house these past few days, eating our food and living in our rooms. How much have they spent on themselves? By the time he pays me back, it’ll be too late.”
Zhao Kun was even angrier. He had always disliked that old man Zhou Dana, and now he was using their family's demolition compensation to treat his wife's illness. What right did he have to do that?
“I believe in my dad. He’s so good to me and loves me so much. He doesn’t let me do any work. He’ll definitely pay it back. Let’s just say we put the money in the bank, okay?” Zhou Ling spoke up for Zhou Dana. At the same time, she tugged at Zhao Kun’s arm, hoping he would calm down.
Zhao Kun grew increasingly annoyed with Zhou Ling, and shoved her away, coldly saying, "Call your dad right now and get the money back for me. His wife is sick, so he should find his own way to get the money. Don't take mine."
"Brother Kun, those are my parents. How can you expect me to ask them for money?" Zhou Ling didn't want to ask.
Zhao Kun was so angry he almost died on the spot. He was roaring in his heart, "If you don't go and ask for the money, you won't be able to pay back the 300,000 yuan high-interest loan. It will kill me!"
"I've already signed a contract with someone to do business together. If I don't put up 300,000 yuan as start-up capital, I'll lose money. Do you understand?"
Zhao Kun didn't want to talk about losing the bet, so he made up a plausible excuse.
What!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's expression changed, and she realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Otherwise, why do you think I would ask you about money? I've already negotiated with someone to do a big deal. If I don't pay up, it's considered a breach of contract, which means I'll be jailed for life."
“Even if your mother needs money for treatment, it’s impossible to spend that much all at once. You need to contact them now and get back as much as you can. Otherwise, my life will be ruined. You don’t want your baby to be born without a father, do you?”
After Zhao Kun's scare, Zhou Ling quickly picked up the phone and dialed Zhou Dana's number.
I dialed three or four times, but no one answered.
"Brother Kun, my dad isn't answering the phone. It's probably because the hospital won't let him answer. He told me before that Mom is in the ICU and has a lot of demands."
"Your dad didn't run away with the money, did he? The hospital not letting me answer the phone is pure bullshit."
Zhao Kun believes that Zhou Dana is deliberately avoiding the issue.
Zhou Ling shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, Mom is really sick, Dad must be busy. He'll call me back when he's not busy."
But Zhao Kun didn't have that much time. He had to get 300,000 yuan today, otherwise, interest would start accruing.
“Send him a text message and tell him to bring the money back to me.”
"If one message isn't visible, send a few more."
Zhao Kun was genuinely panicked. He lied that he was going to do business with someone, but he was not lying about the consequences of not being able to come up with the money. He was absolutely telling the truth, and that things could be even worse.
At least he'll live if he goes to jail. But if Tiger finds out he can't pay, he might shut down his account.
"I'll send it right away, I'll definitely get in touch."
Zhou Ling didn't dare to delay and immediately edited the text and sent the message, sending more than a dozen in a row.
But whether it was a phone call or a text message, they all disappeared without a trace.
All morning,
The couple waited at home for a letter, but nothing came.
Zhao Kun's words also became increasingly harsh.
"If your parents could abandon you more than ten years ago, they must be taking money and abandoning you again now. Only you are foolish enough to believe that."
"Zhou Ling, you're so stupid, you know that?"
Every word Zhao Kun said was like a knife stabbing into Zhou Ling.
“My parents would never do that to me. They finally found us and our family is reunited. They won’t abandon us again.”
Zhou Ling was convinced that something had delayed her and that she hadn't seen her call.
"Hehe, then we'll wait and see."
"Let's see if what I said is right or not. I'm just stupid. I've been fooled and I don't even realize it."
Zhao Kun snorted. He had to think of another way. If all else failed, he could only beg Tiger Brother for a few days of leniency.
Watching Zhao Kun slam the door and leave,
Zhou Ling was left alone in the room. She still couldn't believe she'd been deceived. "My parents love me the most. They say I'm their favorite daughter. They wouldn't lie to me..."
Ding ding ding...
"Landlord, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'm here to collect rent. You need to pay next month's rent."
"ah……"
"Um, could you please come two days later? Don't worry, we won't be late with the rent, we'll definitely pay you."
"Alright, then I'll only give you two days. If you still can't pay the rent after two days, don't blame me for kicking you out."
The landlord left.
Zhou Ling sat on the sofa, feeling lost and regretful that she had given all her money to Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua in one fell swoop.
At the very least, you should set aside money for rent.
If they don't pay rent, their family may end up homeless.
afternoon,
As soon as Zhao Kun entered the room, he asked if Zhou Dana had been contacted. Seeing Zhou Ling's silence, he angrily smashed everything on the coffee table.
"What did I tell you? This is your good dad and good mom. They take our money and live a carefree life, and you're still foolish enough to believe it."
"How unlucky I am to have married such a stupid woman like you."
Zhao Kun, his composure shattered, coldly spoke his true feelings, causing Zhou Ling to tremble.
