Chapter 670 Hemiplegia
After Guan Shinan learned about the fire in Xiang Zhimu's house from the news, she immediately called Xiang Zhimu, who was lying tiredly in the bathtub in her house at that time.
When Guan Shinan scolded her for not telling her, she had no choice but to tell him about the five million.
Guan Shinan immediately asked her to wait, then hung up the phone and rushed to the producer's lounge to ask for money.
The producer is Leng's experience in entertainment investment. Leng Jun had already informed him that they were short of funds and could not come up with any money.
Although this drama has its own setbacks, the money is spent wisely. The scenery, costumes, props and makeup all cost money. Guan Shinan himself has witnessed some of the operations the crew used to save costs.
After hearing the producer's explanation of his difficulties, he felt that he had gone too far and could only return home disappointed and apologize to Xiang Zhimu.
Xiang Zhimu already knew this ending, and said to Guan Shinan with emotion: "It's okay, I can think of other ways."
"What else can I do? There's only one solution right now," Guan Shinan sighed, then said with a determined look, "I can sell my jewelry and bags. I can probably raise two million. With two million left, you can talk to Li Jing's family. They haven't signed a sales contract for their house in their hometown yet, right? Don't sell it for now. Mortgage it at a local bank and use some connections. You should be able to borrow two million. Didn't Li Jing's mother keep bragging about having connections at the bank when she was selling the house?"
"And then add that to my house, I'll definitely be able to get five million. Once I settle my bills at the end of the year, everything will be fine."
"Nannan, there's no need to be like this. You bought this house with great difficulty." Xiang Zhimu was deeply moved when he heard that Guan Shinan was going to sell even her own house. "I'll think of a way myself. You still have your own life. I can't let you go bankrupt."
Before the drama Shen Nian, Guan Shinan was just an unknown 18th-tier actress, living a more comfortable life than ordinary white-collar workers. The three million in savings was already her limit.
Xiang Zhimu already feels very happy to have such a friend around him.
Guan Shinan also knew her situation. Let alone five million, even asking Li Jing's family to mortgage their house for two million would be a difficult task.
"Mumu, please don't be polite with me. I can only help you so far. Instead of being polite with me, you might as well think about how to talk to Li Jing about the mortgage of the house and raise money for the landlord first."
Xiang Zhimu knew that he couldn't win against her, so he agreed temporarily. In fact, he had already begun to hesitate whether to compromise with Leng Jun.
Five million is too much, and she may not be able to earn it in her lifetime. Anyway, her innocence has been ruined by Leng Jun. Leng Jun is young and handsome, not a 38-year-old 150-pound fat man. If she stays with him for a while, she can pay off the 5 million foreign debt, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Wait, Xiang Zhimu, what are you thinking about? What’s the difference between this and selling yourself?
As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Xiang Zhimu felt it was terrible and rejected it immediately.
She cannot fall.
No matter how they are together, once they are involved, nothing can be explained.
In fact, she has five million in her hands, but she can't move it.
Now it all depends on which one she chooses between integrity and dignity.
Is it to make Qi Xingzhuo look down on him or to make Leng Jun look down on him?
Thinking of the day when Qi Xingzhuo left, Xiang Zhimu became upset. He slowly slid down and buried himself in the bathtub water, closing his eyes and forcing himself to stop thinking.
When he went to the hospital the next day, Li Yue had been transferred to the general ward. He was told that his leg was hit by a beam and his lower body was now paralyzed.
Li Jing's mother was just pretending and nothing happened, but her husband became paralyzed because of this incident, the house was burned down, and he was left with a debt of five million, which made her very desperate.
The appearance of Xiang Zhimu gave her an outlet to vent.
She walked straight forward and grabbed Xiang Zhimu's bandaged arm, raised her head and shouted angrily at her: "Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied with what you have done to our family? Xiang Zhimu, does our Li family owe you anything? Why did you hurt our family like this? Why did you hurt us like this!"
Xiang Zhimu coldly pulled her away from him, enduring the pain of the burns and looking at her indifferently: "Auntie, why did the fire start? I think you are more responsible. You know what happened that day better than anyone else. If you hadn't deliberately not turned on the range hood to annoy me and deliberately fell down, there would have been no fire at all."
Zhang Fanghua's expression changed instantly. Avoiding Xiang Zhimu's gaze, she said coldly, "Xiang Zhimu, what are you talking about? Are you trying to shirk responsibility? Do you think that if you put the blame on me, you are no longer a sinner of our Li family?"
Xiang Zhimu sneered: "What old Li family? I will soon have nothing to do with your old Li family. Don't worry, this time I am unlucky. I accept the five million. I will also divorce Li Jing as soon as possible and have nothing to do with your Li family in the future."
"You want to divorce Li Jing?" Zhang Fanghua glared at Xiang Zhimu unhappily. "Well, Xiang Zhimu, you really are someone who can't share adversity. Now that our family has encountered such a big problem, you're thinking of leaving us. My son has been so good to you for nothing."
Wasn't she hoping that her son would divorce her before?
Xiang Zhimu looked at Zhang Fanghua throwing a tantrum coldly, but he actually knew what was going on in his mind.
It’s just because Li Yue is now paralyzed on one side of his body, and the Li family needs a free nanny and ATM.
She curled her lips and sneered, "It's okay not to divorce. Don't sell your old Li family's house for the time being. Take it to the bank as collateral to get a two million loan. Together with me, pay it back to the landlord here. We'll bear the debt together. Then I agree not to divorce."
"Bitch, how dare you covet our old house!" Zhang Fanghua was so angry that her hands were shaking and she was about to hit Xiang Zhimu in the face, but was stopped in time by Xiang Zhimu.
She used her right hand to grip Zhang Fanghua's wrist so hard that she cried out in pain.
Seeing Zhang Fanghua's face twisted to the point of being unable to be twisted any further, she finally let go of her hand. "You're right. I'm just vain and I want your Li family's house. If you're not willing to mortgage it to the bank to pay off your debts, I must divorce Li Jing."
"Zhi Mu, is this all the affection left between us? We are husband and wife after all, why are you so heartless?"
Li Jing came in from outside with a sullen face.
Zhang Fanghua immediately hid behind her son, glared at Xiang Zhimu and said angrily, "Son, you're finally here. Look at the wonderful wife you found. She just wanted to strangle your mother to death."
Li Jing frowned: "What do you have to tell me? Why are you fighting with my mother?"
Xiang Zhimu said with a smile: "Okay, I was going to tell you about the divorce anyway, Li Jing, let's not delay any further, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce now."
