To Ye Huanhuan's surprise, Xia Jianguo and his wife actually evaded the bodyguards' surveillance and came all the way to the gate of S University to wait for her.
The couple did not know Ye Huanhuan's exact address or her schedule, only that she was studying at S University.
The two were truly desperate, so they came up with the idea of waiting for the rabbit to run into their trap.
Ye Huanhuan had planned to go out for hot pot with Cheng Yue and Wang Shuyao after school. However, as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she was stopped by Xia Jianguo and his wife.
Li Qin immediately began her performance; she knelt down in front of Ye Huanhuan, grabbed her clothes, and burst into tears:
"Huanhuan...please save your brother...we really have no other choice. If you don't help him, he'll be chopped into human bones. He's so young...please, for the sake of us raising you, don't just stand by and watch him die, okay?"
Xia Jianguo also stepped forward and knelt on the other side of Ye Huanhuan, tears streaming down his face, and said:
“Huanhuan, your mother and I were wrong…we didn’t treat you well before, but no matter what, we didn’t let you starve to death out there, did we? Pengpeng is my only son, Huanhuan…can you really bear to see our Xia family line die out?”
The two girls' cries and pleas immediately attracted the attention of those around them, and even the security guards at the school gate couldn't help but come over to watch the spectacle.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Yue, who was standing next to Ye Huanhuan, changed her expression, which reminded her of the scene where her mother had caused trouble at the school gate not long ago.
Wang Shuyao focused her attention on Xia Jianguo and his wife, mainly worried that the two of them would launch a personal attack on Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Huanhuan forcefully pulled her clothes out of Li Qin's hands, then took a few steps back warily, and said to the couple:
"Could you two get up first? Let's find a suitable place to talk about this later?"
As the crowd grew larger, Xia Jianguo and his wife exchanged a knowing glance, a calculating glint flashing in their eyes.
This is a golden opportunity; if they miss it, it's questionable whether they'll ever be able to leave their home again.
The more people there are, the more concerned Ye Huanhuan will be about her image and reputation, making it more likely that they will succeed in extorting money from her.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for them to follow Ye Huanhuan's arrangements. So, the two pretended not to hear Ye Huanhuan and continued to plead with her:
“Huanhuan, the money Pengpeng owes is just a drop in the ocean for you… Please, for the sake of your sibling relationship, save him, okay? If you agree, we’ll get up right away and never bother you again. But if you don’t agree, and Pengpeng becomes a cripple, what’s the point of us living? We might as well kneel here and die!”
Ye Huanhuan narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze icy cold. It seemed that if she didn't agree to help today, the couple wouldn't let it go.
However, the fact that these two were able to evade the bodyguards' surveillance and come to S University to find her means that someone is helping them behind the scenes.
Who is it?
Ye Ru?
Or is it Ye Ting?
She looked around and found that everyone was pointing and whispering about her, and she could vaguely hear words like "unfilial daughter" and "unable to save someone in distress".
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to help the two of them up, and gently persuaded them, "Foster father, foster mother, you should get up quickly. What kind of behavior is it to be kneeling on the ground? I didn't say I wouldn't agree to your request. Can you please get up and talk to me first?"
Upon hearing Ye Huanhuan's agreement, the two immediately beamed with joy, quickly stood up, and excitedly asked, "Huanhuan, are you serious? You've agreed to pay for Pengpeng's treatment?"
Wang Shuyao, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but complain, "Ye Huanhuan, you just agreed to them like that? Are you some kind of saintly white lotus?"
Ye Huanhuan gently patted Wang Shuyao's hand, signaling her to calm down.
Then, she looked at Xia Jianguo and his wife and slowly said, "Foster father, foster mother, I bought you a mansion worth tens of millions of yuan back then, which can be considered as repaying your kindness in raising me. Moreover, I think you are very clear about how you treated me before I returned to the Ye family, so I don't need to say more."
Upon hearing Ye Huanhuan bring up the past, the couple immediately showed signs of guilt.
They truly regretted their actions. Had they known that Ye Huanhuan was Ye Haiming's daughter, they would have treated her much better.
When Ye Huanhuan returns to the Ye family, their status will rise accordingly, and Ye Huanhuan will be able to take good care of them, right?
Unfortunately, there's no going back, and no going back.
They were dealt a great hand, but they insisted on starting with a royal flush, leaving them with only a pair of threes in their hand. They have no one to blame but themselves.
Seeing the two men's expressions constantly changing, Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly and continued, "I can agree to help Xia Pengpeng, but he doesn't owe anyone five thousand or fifty thousand, he owes someone fifty million. If I pay that amount for him, then you have to give me an IOU. After he returns home, all three of you will have to go out and work, and then pay me back on time every month until the debt is paid off."
Upon hearing this, Xia Jianguo and his wife turned ashen-faced, exchanging a glance. Li Qin stepped forward and tried to reason with Ye Huanhuan:
"Huanhuan, look, this IOU... do you think we can skip writing it?"
"No way!" Ye Huanhuan refused outright.
Xia Jianguo said with a troubled expression, "Huanhuan, you said it yourself, this isn't five thousand, nor fifty thousand, it's fifty million. We two old guys have neither diplomas nor abilities, how can we possibly repay you this much money?"
