Suddenly, the sound of something being thrown came from over there.
Jiang Wanning didn't linger any longer, hung up the phone, and blocked the number in one swift motion.
Lin Lin was furious: "She's really got some nerve! How dare she refuse!"
Zhao Dehong's face also turned ugly: "It's all your fault! She's so beautiful! You never knew how to properly coax her before, and now look, she's even alienated from us!"
"What are you afraid of? Honey, even if she's tied up, I'll still tie her to Boss Huang's bed! We've raised her for twenty-one years, it's time for her to repay us! Besides, she hasn't graduated from university yet, has she? If she wants to get her degree, she'll have to beg us! One word from me and I can prevent her from graduating!"
Jiang Wanning was unaware of the Zhao family's movements and no longer cared.
Jiang Wanning sent messages and made phone calls to some friends, but some blocked her, while others stammered and made various excuses. Jiang Wanning understood.
It's likely that the news that she wasn't the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and was kicked out has already spread throughout the circle.
Now, anyone who dares to lend her money is probably afraid of losing it all.
Some of these actions were even at the behest of the parents, in an attempt to curry favor with the Zhao family.
Jiang Wanning calculated that the few friends who were willing to lend her money had 200,000 yuan. These friends had secretly transferred their savings to her because her parents had also explicitly forbidden her from lending money.
That amount of money is far from enough.
The phone rang; it was Su Zhihan calling again.
Su Zhihan asked cautiously, "How much money do you need, Xiao Ningning? I asked others and added my own money. My parents also gave me 500,000 yuan. I have 700,000 yuan here. Is that enough? Oh, by the way, I'll transfer the 900,000 yuan you have here to you as well."
The Su family's business had been affected recently, and they were short of funds. As a result, they reached out to help without hesitation, without even waiting for her to ask.
In just a few days, Jiang Wanning fell from grace and into the mire, experiencing the coldness of human relationships and the harsh realities of life. Her nose stung slightly, but she smiled even more brightly.
"That's enough, Zhihan, thank you."
Su Zhihan laughed and said, "We're family! Go ahead and use it."
Jiang Wanning nodded and said, "You have to wait for me. My bank card has been frozen and canceled by the Zhao family. I'll ask my dad to transfer the money to his account."
"The Zhao family has really gone too far!" Su Zhihan didn't expect the Zhao family to be so ruthless. They lived in the same city and might even run into each other again.
"Luckily, you had the foresight to leave the money from selling your paintings with me instead of depositing it into your own bank account. Otherwise, given the Zhao family's shameless nature, they would definitely have kept the money."
In college, Jiang Wanning not only earned her own tuition but also worked part-time. Later, she sold her paintings three times, and each time she transferred the money to Su Zhihan's card for safekeeping.
She was afraid that the Zhao family would go so far as to kill her and take her money.
The surgery costs are more than enough, but we also need to raise money for the rehabilitation afterwards. We need to have the surgery first and then figure out other things. If Xia Rushan doesn't have the surgery, she will only die.
Jiang Wanning hesitated for a long time before dialing Tao Wenrui's number, her ex-fiancé.
The Tao and Zhao families are bound by a childhood betrothal; Tao Wenrui is three years older than her.
The two would meet with their parents during holidays, and in Jiang Wanning's eyes, Tao Wenrui was like an older brother.
At this moment, Tao Wenrui looked at the documents in his hand, his eyes growing deeper.
Tao's mother, Lianfang, kept nagging in her ear: "Since Wan Ning isn't a member of the Zhao family, this engagement is automatically null and void. Even if a marriage were to take place, it should be Xue Nan. Your Aunt Lin showed me Xue Nan's picture; she's quite pretty and dignified. If you ask me, you can't keep Wan Ning; she looks like a vixen!"
Jiang Wanning was exceptionally beautiful; she was a beauty from a young age, growing more and more attractive with age, blossoming into a stunningly beautiful young woman. Even Tao's father, Tao Xing, would stare at her in disbelief.
Marrying a woman like that would inevitably lead to incestuous relationships, and she didn't want to take that risk.
In families like theirs, it's inevitable that the men will have affairs, but they can't do it under her nose!
When Tao Wenrui saw Jiang Wanning's call, his eyes lit up instantly. He got up to answer the phone, avoiding his mother.
"Brother Wenrui~" Jiang Wanning said carefully, "I'm sorry, I'm calling you because I need something from you."
"What is it? Wan Ning, are you still being so polite with your brother?" Tao Wenrui's attitude was as usual, and Jiang Wan Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's like this, my mother, my biological mother from the Jiang family, is sick and needs surgery. Could you lend me some money?"
She has rarely asked for favors since she was a child, and today she has completely lost face.
But these are insignificant compared to Jiang's mother's illness.
"Let's talk tonight, Wan Ning. 6:30 PM, room 1108 at Lingxing Club. Can I have some Western food delivered tonight?"
“Okay, you can arrange it.” Jiang Wanning agreed and turned to leave. Her retreating figure caught the attention of a man, who then took out his phone and made a call.
At 6:30 p.m. sharp, Jiang Wanning appeared at room 1108 of the Lingxing Club.
Tao Wenrui stood up with a smile and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Jiang Wanning.
"Are you hungry? I ordered before you arrived, and the food is ready to be served now."
Jiang Wanning was indeed hungry; she had left the Zhao family's house on an empty stomach at noon.
The waiter brought out the food first. Just as Jiang Wanning was about to speak, Tao Wenrui smiled indulgently and said, "Don't rush, eat your fill first."
When the main course was served, Tao Wenrui offered to cut the steak for Jiang Wanning, but Jiang Wanning politely declined, saying, "Brother Wenrui, I can do it myself."
Jiang Wanning spoke again, and Tao Wenrui tasted a piece of steak, then made a shushing gesture with his finger: "Enjoy your meal first."
Jiang Wanning was hungry, but she had no appetite.
