Chapter 1298 Scar on the Palm
Su Jiuyao had also seen the necklace just now. It was definitely not an ordinary thing. A sapphire of such a large carat could be sold for at least five or six hundred thousand.
In addition, the craftsmanship and shape of the necklace are both top-notch, so it is no problem to sell it for 800,000 to 900,000 yuan, or even millions.
The question is, why does Tang Xin, a college student, suddenly need so much money?
Tang Xin was a little reluctant to talk, so she picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first, or the food will get cold soon."
Seeing that Tang Xin didn't want to talk, Su Jiuyao didn't force her.
After the two of them had almost finished eating, Su Jiuyao wanted to take Tang Xin's pulse.
Tang Xin looked at her in shock: "Xiao Jiu, you also know medical skills?"
Su Jiuyao then remembered that she had not told Tang Xin that she knew medical skills.
"A little bit. Come on, let me help you take a look."
So Tang Xin exposed her wrist and placed her arm on the table.
Su Jiuyao was about to take her pulse, but she saw the scar on her palm and couldn't help frowning.
She suddenly remembered that before the school anniversary party, the two were originally scheduled to perform a duet together, but because Tang Xin injured her hand before the performance, she was unable to go on stage. In the end, Lin Zihang replaced Tang Xin and completed the performance with Su Jiuyao.
Su Jiuyao remembered very clearly that Tang Xin said that she cut her hand while peeling an apple.
Su Jiuyao was surprised at the time. How could the cut she'd made while peeling an apple be on her palm? Furthermore, it shouldn't have been a serious wound, yet Tang Xin had kept it bandaged for over a week.
Now Su Jiuyao saw it all. It was an obvious cut, and the wound should be very deep. Judging from the shape of the scar, it didn't look like it was accidentally cut by herself, but more like someone cut the palm of her hand.
Su Jiuyao looked at Tang Xin deeply. The pale and absent-minded girl in front of her made her more worried.
But she didn't ask any more questions and took Tang Xin's pulse first.
A few minutes later, Tang Xin asked anxiously, "Xiao Jiu, am I feeling really bad?"
"Tell me the truth first, how did you lose so much weight?"
On the way, Tang Xin insisted that she had lost weight naturally through exercise and a healthy diet, but if that were the case, her pulse wouldn't be so weak and chaotic, and her complexion wouldn't be so bad.
Su Jiuyao couldn't bear to tell her that if she continued like this, there would be serious problems with her health.
Tang Xin put down her sleeves, pursed her lips, and seemed to be unable to speak.
"And the wound on your palm, that's not the kind you would cut by peeling an apple."
Tang Xin lowered her head, tears dripping onto the table.
Finally told everything.
It turned out that Tang Xin's family was quite complicated. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Later, her father married a stepmother, who gave birth to a daughter. The mother and daughter spent money lavishly. After spending all of Tang Xin's father's savings, they instigated her father to borrow money to gamble. As a result, he lost more and more money and eventually owed 1.2 million yuan in high-interest loans.
Just before the school anniversary party, loan sharks came to collect the debt. If her father couldn't pay, the loan sharks would chop off his hands and feet.
Tang Xin pleaded with the loan shark, but the debt collector grabbed her hand and slashed her palm with a knife. He also threatened her parents that if she didn't pay back the money, he would cut her face next time.
Just when the loan shark was about to leave, Tang Xin's half-sister came back.
The debt collectors saw that her sister was very beautiful, so they said that as long as her sister went with them, the debt would be written off.
The stepmother was frightened and asked the debt collectors to give them some more time and they would definitely pay the money back.
From then on, Tang Xin started to lose weight rapidly for unknown reasons.
