A text message notification sounded on my phone.
Zhou Chunhua quickly clicked to check, and the money had arrived!
She opened the text message... "Six million."
Then, a WeChat notification sound rang.
She opened it; it was a message from Liao Nanxing.
I've kept my word, so you'd better keep yours too! Besides, I have a new family now, and from today onwards, I hope you will stop interfering with my life, my wife's, and my children's!
Zhou Chunhua's teeth itched at the sight of the word "children".
Nini is also his child, but he doesn't mention it at all, and even tells her not to show up again... Fine!
"Fine! Give me another two million!"
The message had just been sent when Liao Nanxing called.
"Are you crazy, Zhou Chunhua! I've already given you all the money I had, as we agreed. You'd better keep your word and not push me too far!"
Let me tell you, if I don't survive, I'll drag you down with me. You'd better not mess with me again!
Hearing that voice filled with hatred, Zhou Chunhua took a deep breath.
"Liao Nanxing! I need these two million!"
"What does this have to do with me? Didn't you get together with Gu Yao? If you want money, go find Gu Yao! I'm warning you, don't try to blackmail me with this video again, or I can't guarantee what I might do!"
"Nini! Liao Nanxing, Nini needs this money! I've found some information; as long as we give her this money, we can definitely bring Nini back!"
"Ha! Nini? Zhou Chunhua, can't you even come up with a better excuse for lying? Don't say I didn't have it, even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you! Think carefully about how Nini disappeared. Do I need to remind you?"
I finally managed to forget about this, and you have the nerve to mention Nini! Get the hell out of here!
When Zhou Chunhua tried to speak again, all she heard on her phone was a busy signal.
This is her chance to find Nini, and she absolutely cannot give up so easily.
When they tried to call again, Liao Nanxing's phone was no longer reachable.
After trying many more times, she still couldn't get through; it seemed that Liao Nanxing had blocked her.
Zhou Chunhua collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
Two million! Where is she going to find so much money?
I wiped away my tears and looked through my phone's contact list.
She then realized that in her more than 20 years of life, she had never had more than ten phone numbers in her phone's contact list.
Aside from Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen, and some old neighbors, property management, and Lao Chen's phone numbers, only Zhu Lina and Gu Yao remained.
Nana's company had just weathered the crisis... She knew that if she asked, Nana would sell the company and borrow money to help her find the funds.
But she couldn't be so selfish as to use Nana's later life to fill the hole for herself.
My finger hovered over the name Gu Yao... Just as I was about to dial, my phone rang.
Gu Yao's name stood out prominently on it.
She cleared her throat and pressed the answer button.
"Where are you?" A clear voice came from behind.
"What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"It's the weekend today."
"I'll ask you one more time, where are you?"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Chunhua mustered her courage and said, "Are you free now? I need your help with something."
Send me your location, I'll come pick you up.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yao hung up the phone.
After she sent her location, Gu Yao quickly replied, "Wait for me where I am."
Forty minutes later, Gu Yao's car stopped in front of her.
Seeing that Gu Yao was about to get out of the car, she quickly opened the passenger door and got in.
"You must be tired of waiting."
Gu Yao handed her a glass of juice.
"Thanks."
"Can you not be so polite to me?" Gu Yao started the car.
Soon, the car drove into the underground parking lot.
Following Gu Yao out of the elevator, we entered a very stylish restaurant.
The fragrance of flowers in the air, the cozy atmosphere, and the gentle violin music create a very romantic ambiance.
It was only then that Zhou Chunhua realized it was lunchtime.
She awkwardly followed Gu Yao to sit down by the window, and just as she was about to speak, the blond, blue-eyed waiter brought over the menu.
She only caught bits and pieces of his standard London accent.
Gu Yao quickly ordered the food.
Only after the waiter left did Zhou Chunhua muster the courage to speak.
"Gu Yao, I want to ask you..."
Before they could finish speaking, Gu Yao's long, slender fingers pushed out a bank card.
"Take any money out of there. It's okay if you don't return it."
“You…” She didn’t know where to begin.
"You know I need money?"
Gu Yao smiled and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, revealing two attractive dimples as the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Liao Nanxing called me and said you were threatening him."
Zhou Chunhua's face darkened, and she muttered, "He actually has the nerve to call you."
“He’s the kind of person who doesn’t trust anyone but himself. That’s normal.” Gu Yao leaned back on the sofa, looking out the window.
"Hua, we're clearly friends. Why didn't you come to me when you needed help? Or do I make you think I'm useless? Or maybe you just don't consider me a friend?"
Gu Yao turned his head and stared intently at her.
She was momentarily speechless.
It's not actually as Gu Yao said.
Gu Yao is very powerful, powerful enough for her to look up to him.
But she already owes him too much; she doesn't know how she'll ever repay those debts of gratitude.
"I...I was planning to borrow it from you anyway."
"so……"
Gu Yao suddenly grasped her hand.
Then the bank card ended up in my hand.
"Since you've already decided to come to me, then keep it. Don't worry, I know you too well, I'm not worried at all that you won't pay me back. This card was opened with your ID card, so it's convenient for you to transfer money via your mobile phone, and the password is your birthday."
