Cao Xue wanted to argue with him, but considering He Lingchuan's temper, she agreed: "You can replace me when you have the money, I'm not in a hurry."
After the two reached an agreement, He Lingchuan looked at Shen Yanxi and waved to her: "I'll pay you back now. Go online and clarify things for me. Don't say I don't owe you any money."
Seeing through his plan, Shen Yanxi's face turned green: "Should I congratulate you on finding a rich woman again?"
He Lingchuan glanced to the side, his tone businesslike: "Do you want the money or not?"
"I just want your money."
Shen Yanxi's attitude was firm: "I don't want anyone's money except for you."
Cao Xue looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "What's the difference between my money and his money?"
"Why not?"
Shen Yanxi crossed her arms in front of her chest: "He Lingchuan owes me money. I can ask for it back or not. It's just a matter of fun between husband and wife. What right do you have to help him pay it back? What is your status in helping him pay his debt? A third party?"
Shen Yanxi snorted coldly. She didn't want to speak ill of this little girl, but it was all because she had challenged her bottom line time and time again.
Shen Yanxi took out her phone and waved it in front of her: "If you don't want me to call your sister, then keep fooling around here."
She looked Cao Xue up and down and slowly said, "Cao Xue, this is a hundred million, no small amount. Aren't you afraid your parents will scold you?"
Although the Cao family was a prominent family, they were ultimately no match for the Shen family.
Cao Xue planned to take out 100 million yuan to help He Lingchuan, which would be a considerable burden for the Cao family.
Shen Yanxi bet that she couldn't produce it, and even if she could, Cao Wei wouldn't agree.
"Of course I can, it's my own money."
Cao Xue puffed out her chest and looked at Shen Yanxi with great arrogance. In front of Shen Yanxi, she took out her bankbook and handed it to He Lingchuan: "Brother Lingchuan, return the money to her now and stop being threatened by her."
He Lingchuan looked at the passbook in his hand, hesitatingly asking, "Is this really your money?"
When Shen Yanxi mentioned Cao Wei, he realized that Cao Xue still relied on the Cao family for a living. How could she possibly come up with so much money at once?
I guess it was to help him with what he said later.
Upon hearing He Lingchuan's words, Cao Xue stamped her foot anxiously, "Brother Lingchuan, believe me, this really is my own money. My sister and the others don't know."
After saying the last word, Cao Xue looked at Shen Yanxi with great vigilance: "Unless someone deliberately tries to cause trouble and tells my sister about this."
Shen Yanxi spread her hands and snatched the bankbook from He Lingchuan's hand: "Why shouldn't I tell them? If this money is really yours, then it's fine. But if it isn't, what if Cao Wei comes looking for me? Wouldn't I have been scammed by you?"
Shen Yanxi handed the passbook to Zhou Mingyan: "Mingyan, could you check if I can use the money in here, and also call Cao Wei over for me?"
"no."
Cao Xue gripped He Lingchuan's hand tightly: "We can't let them know I have so much money."
This was money she had secretly saved from working on projects, along with money her family had given her before; she had kept it all.
If Cao Wei and the others knew that they had taken out so much of their private savings to help a man, they would definitely disagree.
Cao Xue gripped He Lingchuan's shoulders tightly: "If they find out, I won't be able to lend you this money."
In the past, her sister might have agreed, since He Lingchuan had helped her find a heart.
But now that He Lingchuan has a bad reputation, my sister definitely doesn't want me to be with him.
Cao Xue ran away secretly; she really didn't want to go back to that hellish hospital ward.
He Lingchuan frowned, roughly guessing what was going on.
He held out his hand, his tone serious: "Give me the passbook. I'll return the money to you myself. Considering that you and Cao Wei used to be sisters, don't be so ruthless. Cao Xue has just been discharged from the hospital; she can't be upset. I don't want the relationship between the two sisters to deteriorate."
"What does their deteriorating relationship have to do with me? Isn't it all because of you?"
That's why I asked you to give me the bankbook.
He Lingchuan's voice sounded very hoarse; he was already exhausted after just one hour.
Shen Yanxi stared into his eyes, feeling a pang of heartache for no apparent reason. She reached out her hand: "Mingyan, give me the savings book."
Zhou Mingyan had just finished verifying the money inside, and he looked at Shen Yanxi with some excitement: "The money here is real, I'll take it out now."
"Need not."
Shen Yanxi reached out her hand, and although Zhou Mingyan was puzzled, he still handed over the passbook.
He watched helplessly as Shen Yanxi walked up to He Lingchuan and asked him, "I won't set a time limit for this 100 million. You can return it to me whenever you want. But you can't see her."
He Lingchuan took the passbook and said without hesitation, "Deal."
He handed the passbook to Cao Xue, his eyes never leaving Shen Yanxi: "Cao Wei must not know about this money."
"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of tattling, but if this woman thinks she's being clever, then she can't blame me."
Cao Xue looked at He Lingchuan as he handed the passbook back to her, her expression also somewhat solemn: "Then this one hundred million."
"Thank you, but I don't need it right now."
He Lingchuan put one arm around Cao Xue's waist and turned to leave.
Shen Yanxi called out to him from behind, "Where are you going?"
"Take her home, or are you going to take her?"
Shen Yanxi paused for a moment, then said, "I'll only give you half an hour."
Before receiving a reply from He Lingchuan, Shen Yanxi only heard the sound of the door slamming shut.
As soon as they left, Zhou Mingyan, his expression twisted, walked up to Shen Yanxi and questioned her: "Xixi, you don't plan to take this 100 million?"
"It doesn't matter whether I have him or not. He Lingchuan is my husband. We're family, why should we talk like strangers?"
Zhou Mingyan's eyes widened, and his tone was somewhat excited: "Xixi, this is 100 million. If it weren't for He Lingchuan, the Shen family wouldn't have lost so much."
He grabbed Shen Yanxi's hand and looked at her anxiously: "Xixi, if we go to her now, we can still get this 100 million back."
Shen Yanxi frowned, losing her temper with Zhou Mingyan for the first time: "Is money all you care about?"
Zhou Mingyan stood there, stunned, and asked in a low voice, "Xixi, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Yanxi turned her head away, not even glancing at Zhou Mingyan. She took a deep breath and turned her back, saying, "I don't want to talk about this anymore. I never intended to ask for the 100 million that He Lingchuan owes me."
Shen Yanxi seemed to know what Zhou Mingyan was going to say, and didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "Don't ask Zhou Mingyan for it. Whether it's one hundred million or two hundred million, it's a matter for our Shen family. I have my own plans."
Zhou Mingyan opened his mouth slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
He watched Shen Yanxi return to her room, and his jealousy intensified.
Zhou Mingyan gritted his teeth: "He Lingchuan, you just wait, I will definitely not let you get away with this."
