Chen Limin doesn't have many people in her contact list.
She first dialed the numbers of several men she frequently contacted.
After learning that she had gone to the police station, the other person's previously friendly and cordial attitude changed abruptly, and their tone became hesitant and stammering.
In the end, they all hurriedly transferred one or two thousand yuan to get by.
Chen Limin didn't care.
Anyway, she didn't really expect anything from those stinky men.
My fingertip landed on the phone screen.
After much hesitation, Chen Limin finally dialed her son Chen Zhuoyang's phone number.
The first call went unanswered.
Chen Limin was not giving up and typed it a second time.
However, this time, the call was disconnected after only a few rings.
This was repeated several times.
Finally, on Chen Limin's twelfth attempt, the call was answered.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhuoyang's tone was extremely impatient: "Aren't you annoying? Calling me endlessly, are you sick in the head?"
Chen Limin tried hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart: "Yangyang, Mom got into an argument with someone and went to the police station. Now the other party wants to sue Mom... Yangyang, do you have any money? Mom has to pay them 100,000 yuan..."
"One hundred thousand?!"
Chen Limin was abruptly interrupted before she could finish speaking.
Chen Zhuoyang raised his voice, which sounded extremely harsh through the receiver: "Do you think I could possibly have that much money? You're really crazy..."
"Hey you, did some guy's wife find out again, that's why you're arguing, right? Seriously, it's embarrassing... Let me tell you, I don't have a single penny, don't even think about it..."
"I'm warning you, don't call me again, or I'll block you! ...beep beep beep..."
Chen Limin didn't even have time to explain before the call was abruptly ended.
She pressed the redial button, and the call was disconnected after one ring.
When I called back, the number indicated that it had been blocked by the other party.
Chen Limin sat weakly in the chair, holding her phone.
At that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of desolation...
...
On the other side, Ning Wan returned after making a phone call to Lu Chen.
Seeing Chen Limin's unpleasant expression, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? Is your wound hurting again?"
"No, it's nothing...it's nothing."
Chen Limin quietly turned her face away and wiped the corner of her eye.
She picked up her phone and opened the account of the money she had just received from several men: "I'm sorry, I don't have that much money right now... Here are a few thousand yuan, I'll pay you back first. I'll figure out the rest..."
In public, Chen Limin is always beautiful and proud.
But in that instant, she seemed to have aged several years.
The head that was once held high, the arrogant expression, now hung limply, looking timid and inferior.
Ning Wan comforted her, saying, "Didn't we agree that I would pay for this? Don't worry about it, I have the money."
She is no longer the penniless Ning Wan she once was.
She is now being kept by her older sister and brother-in-law, with two black cards tied to her waist.
She could afford a mere 100,000 yuan.
What's more, she even brought out her trump card...
...
When Su Lin was helped out by Ning Jianshe, she saw Ning Wan and Chen Limin sitting together, and her anger flared up again.
She curled the corners of her lips and said sarcastically, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were her daughter. An ingrate is an ingrate; you can never truly forgive someone."
Chen Limin discovered that this woman was simply stubborn and unyielding!
Already seething with anger, she jumped up, wanting to argue with her.
Ning Wan stopped the emotionally agitated Chen Limin.
She turned to Su Lin and said, "Give them too much face, and some people will really think they're human."
"Ning Wan!" Su Lin was furious. "I'm your mother!"
“Ms. Su,” Ning Wan called out, her voice firm and respectful, “If you can’t see yourself clearly, you’ll at least urinate in your own home if you don’t have a mirror, right? What other connection do I have with Ms. Su and Mr. Ning besides that sordid blood relationship?”
“I gave birth to you with great difficulty, and raised you with painstaking care until you were 18. Even if I didn’t do anything special, I must have put in a lot of hard work, right?” Su Lin questioned, “But now you’re ganging up on your mother for an outsider. Don’t you have any conscience?”
"Was it really all hard work, dealing with every little thing?"
Ning Wan's expression was detached, and her emotions showed no fluctuation.
But her tone was so cold it was as if she were about to pour out a block of ice: "From childhood to adulthood, I've always worn my older sister's hand-me-downs. When Dad and my sister aren't home, there's never any hot food at home."
"When you three are happily out having fun, have you ever thought about how scared I am when I'm home alone? Your so-called concern and charity are nothing but a huge joke!"
"you!……"
Su Lin was rendered speechless by Ning Wan's words.
After hearing this, Chen Limin wanted to rush up and hit someone again.
Since I'm going to lose money anyway, I might as well punch a few more times to break even.
Buy ten punches, get ten free...
...
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense and confrontational.
Su Lin stood in the same position as Ning Jianshe, forming an opposition to Ning Wan.
Chen Limin stood in front of Ning Wan as if protecting a chick.
Seeing this, Lin Guihua quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Everyone, calm down. This is a police station." Turning to Ning Wan, she added with concern, "You should also keep your mouth shut."
Ning Wan shrugged indifferently.
Just then, the glass door of the police station was pushed open from the outside in.
Lu Chen, dressed in a sharp suit and trousers, walked straight into the service hall.
The black leather shoes made a barely perceptible sound as they stepped on the bright, clean tile floor.
"Dad, Mom."
Lu Chen walked to Ning Wan's side and spoke to them calmly.
Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, Su Lin completely changed her previous arrogant demeanor.
She quickly smoothed a strand of hair at her temples and smiled, "Xiao Lu, what brings you here?"
Even Ning Jianshe adopted a more elder-like demeanor: "It's so hot, and you still have to go through all this trouble. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."
"It's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do." Lu Chen lowered his head, his attitude humble: "Youyou has been worried about your condition and called to ask me to make a trip."
fact.
Of course not.
In fact, Lu Chen was summoned by Ning Wan's phone call.
As early as when Su Lin and Ning You had their argument in the store, Ning Wan noticed her unusual concern and anxiety for the child in Ning You's belly.
Ning Wan guessed that Ning Jianshe and his wife must have valued this child very much.
They have even placed all their hopes for the future development of the Ning family on this grandson.
Therefore, Ning Jianshe and his wife must be very afraid of Lu Chen.
And Ning Wan did indeed make the right bet.
