Xu Wan immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the door, but Jiang Tingzhou pulled her hand back. "You stay in the car, I'll get out."
"No need, I can handle my own affairs."
Xu Wan was a little flustered.
She was terrified that Liu Xing would tell Jiang Tingzhou in advance that his mother was a murderer.
This matter can be considered a big deal or a small deal.
But for her, whether someone else exposes it or not could lead to two completely different outcomes.
Xu Wan forcefully broke free from Jiang Tingzhou's hand, quickly opened the car door, and asked in a low voice, "Liu Xing, what do you want to see me about?"
Jiang Tingzhou also got out of the car.
Liu Xing didn't look at Xu Wan, but instead focused his gaze on Jiang Tingzhou. "Your brother-in-law is here too?"
"Don't try to get close to me!" Xu Wan turned to Jiang Tingzhou and said, "Why don't you go to work? I can handle things here."
How could Jiang Tingzhou possibly leave at this time?
He walked halfway around to Xu Wan's side and said, "Your matter is more important. I'll help you deal with him first."
"No need, I..."
"Wanwan," Jiang Tingzhou said gently, putting his arm around the woman's shoulder. "If you refuse me again, outsiders will think we're having marital problems."
The gentler the man, the more afraid Xu Wan became.
She was afraid of losing the warmth she had finally gained.
"Really?" Liu Xing grinned maliciously, adopting a thuggish posture. "It's nothing, I'm just a little short on cash and wanted to borrow some money from Wanmei."
Xu Wan bit her lip.
She knew she couldn't let Liu Xing control her, but she had to wait until she told the truth herself.
“Lending money is no problem, I’ll lend it to you,” Jiang Tingzhou replied first.
Xu Wan was slightly surprised.
Liu Xing chuckled and said, "Sure, I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so generous. I'm short 300,000 yuan, this amount shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Three hundred thousand? Are you crazy!" Xu Wan gently pushed the man. "I don't know him at all. Don't pay any attention to him. Go on your way. I can handle this myself."
Jiang Tingzhou tightened his grip on her arm and said to Liu Xing, "Three hundred thousand, no problem, but I need to write an IOU."
"An IOU?" Liu Xing looked at Xu Wan with confidence. "Wan-mei, tell me, do I need an IOU to borrow money?"
His words were loaded with meaning.
In fact, he was threatening Xu Wan.
Xu Wan understood what he meant.
He never expected that such a small matter would eventually push him to this point.
However, she didn't have 300,000 yuan, nor could she ask Jiang Tingzhou to lend it to her. "Of course, you have to write an IOU when you owe money. Not only do you have to write an IOU, but you also have to provide collateral. If you don't pay back the money, we can sue you!"
“I think your taxi is pretty good, so let’s use it as collateral.” Jiang Tingzhou paused, then continued, “By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Jiang Tingzhou, and I’ve been working in the legal industry for ten years. In all the debt cases I’ve handled, no client has ever failed to get their money back.”
Liu Xing's face was extremely grim.
What does this mean?
Isn't this threatening him?
Liu Xing originally just wanted to casually ask Xu Wan for some money to test the waters, but after Jiang Tingzhou spoke up, he suddenly decided to ask for an exorbitant amount.
"Damn it!" Liu Xing looked at Xu Wan. "Xu Wan, you want me to write an IOU? Fine, I won't lend you the money. But I guess your husband probably doesn't know about your family's situation, right?"
"Liu Xing!"
Liu Xing looked at Jiang Tingzhou and said, "We're all men, so I'll be a good guy today and tell you everything about Wanmei's family. I think that, apart from me, no man wouldn't care about what's going on in her family."
Jiang Tingzhou remained calm.
"don't want……"
Xu Wan's heart was racing, and her heart was aching terribly.
She slowly squatted down, her mind flashing back to the sweet time that had lasted only a few days.
Is it that she truly doesn't deserve love, that she's about to have it taken away as soon as she gets it?
"Wanwan, are you alright?"
Jiang Tingzhou squatted down, his tone concerned.
The more he cared, the more distressed Xu Wan became.
The way the two of them were being all lovey-dovey made Liu Xing furious. "Wanmei's mother..."
"I'll say it myself!"
Xu Wan interrupted Liu Xing in a shrill voice.
“Jiang Tingzhou, my mother is…” She looked at the ground and spoke with difficulty in a trembling voice, “…a murderer.”
