Chapter 47: Deep in Debt
Jian Mo waited in the coffee shop downstairs from their company for an hour. The coffee in her hand went from hot to cold before Wu Ting finally arrived with her bag on her back.
"Sister, I'm sorry. I was supposed to visit you, but I was too busy. I just took a client to see a house..." Wu Ting's face was full of apologies.
She was quite pretty, but the long hours of work made her extremely tired and she was not in a very good condition.
Jian Mo motioned for her to sit down. "It's okay. I often work overtime, too. I understand."
Wu Ting felt a little awkward. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this, I heard that you and Jian Zhou are getting married soon."
"Yes...it's precisely because I'm getting married that I work so hard." Wu Ting was a little embarrassed.
Jian Mo could tell that this was a good and down-to-earth girl. "You may not understand this very well, but Jian Zhou and I are not biological siblings, so I might be a little blunt in my words. Don't mind."
Unexpectedly, Wu Ting nodded quickly, "I know, Jian Zhou told me."
"Then I'll be frank. His mother is trying to raise money for your marriage. She's even trying to cut off his father's medical expenses. If I hadn't been at my wit's end, I wouldn't have found you."
"Ever since father fell ill, I've paid for his medical expenses. Jian Zhou and his mother haven't contributed a penny. Under such circumstances, his mother doesn't even have money for your wedding. Let me be frank, if you were a diligent person over the years, you would have saved money, right? You wouldn't have to run out of money for medical expenses."
Jian Mo made her words very clear, and she believed that the girl could understand.
The Jian family is a fire pit, you can't jump in.
Wu Ting pursed her lips, looking troubled. "Sister, I actually know a little bit about these things, but my ability is limited, so I can't stop them... But I believe that after we get married, as long as we work hard, the situation will definitely improve."
Jian Mo understood that this meant she still had feelings for him. She frowned and simply revealed her trump card, "Ms. Wu, do you know that Jian Zhou is in debt right now?"
Wu Ting was stunned, obviously not knowing.
"He just told me that his family didn't have much money and that we needed to start from scratch."
Jian Mo smiled, and helplessly took out a credit report from her bag and handed it to Wu Ting.
"This is Jian Zhou's current financial situation. He's been gambling for the past few years and hasn't been to work at all. He relies on small loans every day to get by. He's lost a lot and can't repay his loans. He's now a dishonest person and can't take high-speed trains or planes. Don't you know that?"
Jian Mo used to wonder how her own son could be willing to cut off his father's medical expenses, until one day she accidentally saw Jian Zhou's mobile phone and found out that he owed a lot of money.
Only a gambler would disregard the affection between father and son.
Wu Ting's hand holding the paper was shaking violently. It seemed that she was completely unaware of this matter. One can imagine how much of a blow it was to her.
"A rough estimate is that Jian Zhou currently owes over a hundred thousand yuan. Ms. Wu, I'm guessing your monthly salary is only around ten thousand yuan at most. If you marry him, how many years will it take you to pay it back?"
Jian Mo couldn't bear to break the girl's love, but this love was just an illusion. In addition to dispelling Jian's mother's greed, she also had to rescue the girl from danger.
"Jian Zhou hasn't stopped and is still gambling. People like him are deceitful and have no bottom line. If you are tied to him, your life will be ruined. I hope you can think it over carefully."
