Chen Zhe and Meng Liping walked out of the courtyard.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu at the door, she started arguing with several men in suits who had come over.
Tang Zihao has disappeared somewhere, and his bodyguards, who should be with him, are not here either.
"Mu Xiaoyu, how long have you been owing this money? You don't answer our calls or reply to our messages. You want me to send you a lawyer's letter, right?"
When Mu Xiaoyu saw her mother come out, she hurriedly tried to pull the man aside.
"Brother Huang, can we talk over there? My mother isn't feeling well..."
The man called Brother Huang pulled his hand away, and Mu Xiaoyu lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Brother Huang chuckled.
"What do you mean she's not feeling well? She was kowtowing quite a bit the other day, I don't see anything wrong with her health. Stop making excuses, we finally caught you today, so you'd better pay me back right now!"
When Mu Xiaoyu heard that they had come a couple of days ago and that her mother knew about her debts, she panicked. She was worried that her mother would be saddened by this.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me they were coming to the house?"
Meng Liping looked worried.
"Little Fish, you don't have to carry everything on your own shoulders. Mom wants to face it with you."
"Mom, I can manage on my own. I only owe them 50,000 yuan, which isn't much. I'll pay them back when I get my salary next month, so you don't need to worry."
Brother Huang snorted.
"Fifty thousand?? Next month it won't be fifty thousand anymore. Up to now, you owe 100,000 including principal and interest. If you pay it next month, it will be 150,000!"
Mu Xiaoyu and Meng Liping were startled when they heard the number.
"What?! I only delayed for a month, why do I have to pay so much?"
Brother Huang pulled out a printed IOU with a red handprint on it.
"Open your dog eyes and look carefully. The interest and repayment period are clearly written on the contract. If you can't repay by the due date, you'll have to pay a penalty. You've been out of contact for a month, so the interest and penalty will definitely double. And I haven't even added our delivery fee, fuel cost, or compensation for emotional distress. All these miscellaneous expenses add up, and you'll have to pay us 120,000 this time. Do you understand?"
"I...I..."
Seeing the IOU with her fingerprint on it, Mu Xiaoyu was both angry and anxious.
She never expected the interest to increase so much. She borrowed 50,000 yuan, but when she received it, she only had 10,000 yuan left because of the handling fee.
So the amount I actually lent them was only 40,000 yuan.
In less than three months, I have to pay back 120,000 yuan on top of 40,000 yuan. My God, how can it be so unfair?
"I don't have that much money!! I only have 10,000 yuan on me right now. If you want it, you can take it. I really don't have anything else."
Mu Xiaoyu wanted to plead with the other party to be more lenient.
But these professional debt collectors completely ignored her.
Brother Huang looked at Chen Zhe standing behind him and sized him up. Chen Zhe's clothes were very eye-catching, making it easy to tell that he was a rich man.
Brother Huang walked straight toward Chen Zhe.
His gaze swept over Chen Zhe's Rolex again, and he grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and asked, "Kid, what's your relationship with Mu Xiaoyu? Boyfriend? If you're her boyfriend, then help her pay off her debts. I can tell you're rich. That car at the village entrance is yours too, isn't it? Heh, I really do run into you today."
Mu Xiaoyu was afraid that Chen Zhe would get angry. He had come here to confront her, and now he was being misunderstood as her boyfriend. He must be very angry.
"Brother Huang, he's not my boyfriend, please don't make things difficult for him."
"Get the hell out of my way!"
Brother Huang pushed Mu Xiaoyu, who had run over, aside. Meng Liping tried to help her daughter up, but was also pushed down by Brother Huang's men.
"You old hag! You were faking illness to fool us before, but you're perfectly healthy now!"
When they came before, Meng Liping was bedridden.
They left because they were afraid of causing a death.
But when they arrived and saw Meng Liping standing there unharmed, they felt they had been deceived and became very angry.
The mother and daughter sat on the ground, hugging each other and crying bitterly; the scene was truly pitiful to see.
"Hey kid, I'm asking you a question. Are you going to pay me back today?"
Faced with Brother Huang's questioning.
Chen Zhe smiled slightly; "I think you have indeed misunderstood. I am not her boyfriend, I am the lawyer hired by her father."
"lawyer??"
Upon hearing Chen Zhe's identity as a lawyer, a hint of unease flashed across the faces of Brother Huang and his group.
"You...you're lying to us, aren't you?"
Brother Huang asked, somewhat incredulously.
"I have no reason to lie to you. Look at what I'm wearing. Do you think I need to date this poor woman?"
"this……"
Indeed, Chen Zhe looks like a rich man, and Mu Xiaoyu's family is so poor that they really can't afford to be associated with him.
Brother Huang was starting to believe it.
He didn't want to get involved with the lawyer.
So he turned to Mu Xiaoyu and said, "Hurry up and pay me back!! I'm not an unreasonable person. We'll forget about the travel expenses, just give us back 110,000 yuan and we'll leave now."
Let alone 110,000, there aren't even 40,000 or 50,000 now.
Mu Xiaoyu simply can't pay it back right now.
"Brother Huang, please give me another month. I really don't have the money to pay you back."
"I'll help you pay it back!"
It wasn't Chen Zhe who spoke, although Chen Zhe also wanted to say the same thing, but Tang Zihao, who rushed over, beat him to it.
He ran off to call his mother, and only when he came back did he discover that Mu Xiaoyu had been bullied.
He rushed over and helped Mu Xiaoyu and Meng Liping up from the ground, then said he would help Mu Xiaoyu pay back the money.
Mu Xiaoyu and Meng Liping were stunned, especially Mu Xiaoyu. She didn't expect Tang Zihao to say such a thing. Because she had tricked him and was tricked quite badly, he should hate her.
Seeing that someone was willing to help pay back the money, Brother Huang was naturally happy to do so.
"Heh, so you're her boyfriend, right?"
Tang Zihao wanted to admit this identity, but he thought of what Chen Zhe had just said, so he shook his head.
"no!"
When Tang Zihao said "no," Mu Xiaoyu felt a little disappointed. Actually, she had a fantasy that it would be great to be able to hook up with a rich second-generation like Tang Zihao.
"If you're not helping him pay back the money, why are you asking for more?" Brother Huang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Why the hell do you care so much? I'm just happy to help him, so what? You don't want your money back, huh?"
"Haha, I want it! Then transfer the money over, 120,000!"
Mu Xiaoyu panicked; "Didn't you just say 110,000 would be fine?"
“The past was the past, and now is the present. Before, no one helped you pay it back, but now someone will. It’s different.”
"You!! How could you do this?!"
Mu Xiaoyu was furious.
However, Tang Zihao didn't react much; 110,000 and 120,000 were about the same to him.
Okay! I'll transfer it to you now!
He took out his phone to transfer the money, but Chen Zhe walked over and stopped him.
"Wait a minute, isn't your interest calculation a little off? Should we recalculate it?"
