Chapter 221 He firmly believed that she would stand by him and help him build a business from scratch.



A moment later, Su Mu, having regained his senses, simply placed his phone face down on the table.

"What's wrong?" Li Anran asked.

Su Mu quickly adjusted his expression and shook his head weakly.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, probably from sitting for too long."

Upon hearing this, Li Anran immediately stood up and helped her up.

"It's all my fault. I was planning to celebrate with you, but I got so excited that I forgot you weren't feeling well. Come on, let me help you back to your room to rest."

Su Mu nodded, then leaned on Li Anran's shoulder and "weakly" went upstairs.

Li Anran was very considerate; she helped her to bed and even helped her take off her shoes and cover herself with the blanket.

"I'll go make you some brown sugar ginger water." He said that and left without waiting for her reply.

She quickly took out her phone and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about! Tell me who you are? What do you want?"

The message was sent out, but once again it seemed to sink without a trace.

With a grim expression, Su Mu typed a message on his phone: "I don't know anything about Sha Tin Tsui! You want money, right? Tell me, how much money do you want to stop bothering me?"

The news once again went unanswered.

Looking in the direction of the door, Su Mu was so nervous that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

She finally had a glimmer of hope, but if that matter were to be exposed, her life would be truly over.

【fifty thousand!】

One minute later...

[100,000!]

One minute later...

[150,000! 150,000 is the limit. I can't come up with any more!]

However, even after she kept raising the price herself, the other party never replied to her again.

Feeling uneasy, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Regardless, she still needs to prepare the money first.

What if the other party agrees tomorrow, but she can't come up with the money? Wouldn't that anger the other party?

Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the door.

Li Anran carefully walked in, carrying an exquisite soup bowl.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he scooped up a spoonful of food, blew on it for a long time, and then fed it to her.

Su Mu was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.

Sniffing, he looked at Li Anran and said, "Anran, I... I have something I'd like to ask you to help me with."

Li Anran paused in her movements.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Su Mu lowered his head and choked up, saying, "Originally, I shouldn't have asked you for help again, but besides you, I don't know who else to ask for this favor."

"fool."

Li Anran's hand gently stroked Su Mu's forehead and face.

Su Mu bit her lip and looked up, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Could you... lend me some money?"

"Of course. How much do you want?"

Su Mu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

Suppressing his excitement, he said softly in a low voice, "100,000...150,000."

In her opinion, since Li Anran could live in such a luxurious villa, receiving several hundred thousand yuan would not be a problem at all.

However, the next second, she saw the predicament on Li Anran's face.

At that moment, Su Mu's heart, which had just been at ease, clenched again.

But knowing she shouldn't press the issue, she opted to retreat rather than press further.

"Never mind. Just pretend I didn't say anything." After saying that, she took the soup bowl from Li Anran's hand and drank it spoonful by spoonful.

Her eyelids concealed the disappointment in her eyes.

He wouldn't even spend a mere 150,000 on her.

She had actually thought Li Anran loved her so much.

Men! Haha, there's no difference at all.

Just as Su Mu was busy complaining in his heart, Li Anran spoke up.

When do you need it?

Su Mu suddenly looked up, and the spoon in his hand fell back down, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Tomorrow, is that okay?"

"good."

Seeing Li Anran nod without hesitation, Su Mu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Anran, aren't you going to ask me what I need this money for?"

Li Anran smiled gently, her fingers lightly stroking the stray hairs on her forehead.

"What's the point of asking! Since you've brought it up, it means you really need this money. Drink up, it'll get cold."

At this moment, Su Mu was so moved that he wanted to throw himself into Li Anran's arms.

But the image of her bloated appearance in the mirror yesterday flashed through her mind, and she managed to restrain herself.

There's probably only one man in the world who can spoil her like this!

She wanted to use her best self to keep Li Anran by her side.

Ten minutes later, Li Anran left the room with the empty soup bowl.

After handing the soup bowl to the aunt, he picked up his phone and sent a message in the group chat.

[150,000, urgently needed.]

Moments later, the group chat was flooded with messages.

[Mr. Li really loves to joke.]

[Mr. Li must miss us, so he's deliberately making up an excuse to get us out here, right? If you're so bored, why don't you come over to my place? I'll have one of the girls dance for you.]

[...]

Li Anran frowned.

[No joke. Anyone want to transfer me 150,000?]

In an instant, the group chat fell silent.

A moment later, Li Anran received four transfers.

The amount is 150,000 each.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved, but it's also true that I don't know when I'll be able to repay the debt.

Thanks, brothers! But I still don't know when I'll be able to pay it back. Let me know if any of you mind.

[What does this mean? Anran, what exactly did you post?]

"Yes! I found it strange when you said you wanted to borrow 150,000."

Old Li, if anything happens to you, don't hide it from the brothers!

Li Anran sent a silly grin emoji.

I've handed the company over to Old Man Liao.
