Chapter 1299 The Hole That Can’t Be Filled
At that time, Tang Xin worked three part-time jobs at the same time, and she thought she was thin because of exhaustion.
Later I found out that her stepmother had given her a hormone drug since she was 16 years old, and that was the real reason for her weight gain.
Tang Xin gave a wry laugh when asked why her stepmother did this. Because she was thinner, prettier, and better at studying than her half-sister, her stepmother had inquired about weight-gaining pills and lied to her that they were vitamin pills.
After stopping the medication, Tang Xin quickly lost weight due to irregular diet and hard work.
Later, she found out the reason why she had gained weight over the years, so she became more restrained in her diet and exercised hard in order to save face.
But what she never expected was that her vicious stepmother suddenly asked her to stop taking the medicine and allowed her to become slim because her stepmother planned to use her to pay off the loan shark.
Let her sell herself to pay off her sister's debts.
Tang Xin certainly didn't want to ruin herself, so she kept thinking of ways.
But where would she get so much money?
Now she works hard every month, even taking several months off from school to work, and she can only pay a small amount of interest.
As long as she fails to pay off the debt, her stepmother will not let her go, and the creditors are also keeping an eye on her.
It was in this situation that Tang Xin took out this necklace that meant a lot to her and planned to sell it to pay off her debts.
After she finished speaking, she asked Su Jiuyao: "Xiao Jiu, you must find it incredible. This is modern society, and such things still happen."
Su Jiuyao shook her head. She had long understood that no matter what era, there would always be greedy and sinister scum in this world.
But after hearing what Tang Xin said, she still felt furious.
After calming down, Su Jiuyao said to Tang Xin, "I can help you appraise the necklace and sell it for a good price. But your parents have treated you like this. Even if you sell the necklace to pay off this debt, there will be more debts to crush you in the future. You will never be able to fill this hole."
Tang Xin looked at Su Jiuyao, and more tears came out.
"But what can I do? He's my dad, can I just ignore him?"
Su Jiuyao sighed. She knew this feeling very well because she had also been abandoned and exploited by her parents.
After a moment's silence, she said to Tang Xin, "But you have to have a bottom line. And think about it from another perspective. If you leave them alone, maybe they'll find a way to change."
Tang Xin nodded. "Yes, I think so too. So this is the last time. After I pawn this necklace, I will draw a clear line with them."
Su Jiuyao handed Tang Xin a tissue. "Okay, I'll go to Lin's tomorrow morning and ask Teacher Wei Qing. He's a jewelry designer and knows how to identify jewelry. I'll let you know as soon as I have a result."
"Thank you, Xiaojiu..."
"Stop crying and eat."
Su Jiuyao felt sad when she saw Tang Xin's expression. She had already made up her mind: if the necklace wasn't worth 1.2 million, she would buy it anonymously. No matter what, she would help Tang Xin get through this difficult time first.
After the two of them finished their meal, Su Jiuyao called the waiter to pay the bill, but the waiter said earnestly, "A gentleman has already paid for you."
Su Jiuyao guessed that it was Gu Hanye who paid the bill, because he had just sent a text message saying that he would be there soon.
So Su Jiuyao and Tang Xin got up and left. When they came to the hall, they saw Gu Hanye walking in from outside.
A trace of doubt flashed through Su Jiuyao's mind. Gu Hanye had just arrived, so wasn't he the one who paid the bill for tonight?
