Chapter 267 Greedy Orphan Nanny VS Mentally Retarded Young Master 34
Jiang Zhiyi stayed outside until 10 p.m.
Gradually, the number of people in the square decreased, and she got up to return to the hotel.
As I crossed an intersection, a huge advertising screen on a building not far away was displaying an advertisement for a certain jewelry brand.
Diamonds, love, eternity, sparkle... This advertisement is unoriginal, using words that have been overused for a long time.
Next to her, a couple holding hands were also waiting for the traffic light.
The girl pointed at the diamond ring on the advertising screen and said loudly, "You have to buy me that ring someday, I want the biggest diamond!"
She shook her hand again, "I'll wear this for now, but we'll have to get new ones when we get married."
The boy helped the girl tidy her wind-blown hair and said affectionately, "Change it! You have to change it!"
"Baby, you're so sweet." The girl kissed him and smiled sweetly. "You have to keep your word. If you don't buy me anything in the future, I'll marry another man."
"Oh, so you're actually thinking of finding someone else now." The boy pretended to be angry and reached out to pull the girl's hair.
Soon, they started playfully fighting, looking very affectionate.
"Okay, okay, I like this ring now too. I like anything you give me." The girl touched the ring on her hand with a look of affection. "It cost you two whole months' salary, so don't starve yourself to save money next time..."
"I know." The boy squeezed the girl's hand and looked at her. "Wait for me to work hard and earn more money in the future, and I will buy you something even better."
"Okay!" The girl nodded.
Suddenly, the boy remembered something. He pulled the tab off the can he was holding in his other hand and said, "Here you go, this is my new ring for today."
The girl was so angry that she hit him, "Are you stupid? How are we supposed to open and drink this drink if you're like this? You're so stupid!"
"Oh well... never mind." The boy took the girl's hand and helped her put on the pull tab.
The girl readily raised her hand and said, "Great, now I have two rings."
Jiang Zhiyi suddenly felt that the scenes she saw in TV dramas didn't seem so unreal.
If two people have feelings for each other, they can win each other's hearts with a pull tab from a soda can, a plastic diamond ring that costs a few dollars, or even a ring made from roadside grass.
But without emotion, even the most expensive jewelry is just a bunch of space-consuming junk.
She used to have a lot of such "waste products".
Jiang Shen had given her a lot of jewelry, all kinds of items, and each piece was quite expensive.
Those things are beautiful and very precious.
Of course she liked it; after all, no one dislikes a beautiful baby.
But that was just a pure liking for a rare and precious object.
In short, she didn't share the same joy as the girl in front of her, whose eyes seemed to sparkle with delight.
Sometimes she would even frequently recall the time when Jiang Shen was still a fool, when he made bracelets and earrings for her out of small flowers... Although they were just random things, she seemed quite happy about them.
Come to think of it, Jiang Shen had never given her a ring.
She once accompanied him to an auction, where he spent a lot of money to buy a ring.
At the time, she simply pretended not to see it and didn't say a word. After all, the ring represented something different from other things. Later, she didn't know where he put the ring, and she never saw it again.
Jiang Zhiyi slowly returned to the hotel.
Perhaps she had many worries on her mind, because she looked sullen.
A luxury car was parked at the hotel entrance, and staff members were respectfully guarding the vehicle.
Jiang Zhiyi glanced around a few times, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. However, her gaze didn't linger for long before she went straight into the hotel lobby.
Inside the car, Jiang Shen was staring at her back.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Let's go."
The driver then started the vehicle and drove away.
...
After some time.
One day.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi woke up in the morning, her phone was already full of missed calls and spam text messages, all from unknown numbers.
She simply turned off her phone.
This has been the case for days, and she's gotten used to it.
Her investment went wrong, and she lost all her money.
Not only that, she also owed a large amount of debt.
The vast majority of these calls and text messages are debt collection calls, demanding that she pay back the money.
She hadn't actually suffered such great losses initially, but she never thought it would come to this.
As luck would have it, a woman happened to appear.
The woman had just lost her husband and was raising two children alone. She had a considerable amount of compensation money, so she was trying to find a way to make money.
Later, under the woman's persuasion and guidance, Jiang Zhiyi borrowed some more money to invest in another project.
Now that I think about it carefully, I realize she was definitely set up. Someone deliberately lured her into a sack to steal her money.
Meanwhile, Chen Huaiyu's situation wasn't good either. I heard that one of his company's projects was reported for violating regulations, and the matter was quite serious; it might even lead to bankruptcy.
She didn't want to bother him with anything now.
Jiang Zhiyi was very worried. She had already sold all her valuables, but the debt was a bottomless pit, and she really couldn't pay it back...
Around noon, a group of people came to our house. They all looked fierce and menacing, and seemed like people we shouldn't mess with.
These people have come several times. At first, they were quite nice, but later they simply stopped pretending. Last time, they took a lot of things with them.
“I don’t have any money right now, I…” Jiang Zhiyi looked at them warily.
"Shut the hell up!" the leading man interrupted her menacingly. "How many days have we already given you?"
Another fat, big-eared man walked over, puffing on a cigarette and saying, "If all else fails, we can introduce you to a job. She's pretty, and should be able to make a good amount of money in one night..."
The man made a gesture as if he was about to reach out and touch her face.
Jiang Zhiyi took several steps back. "If you keep doing this, I'll call the police."
The man chuckled, seemingly quite experienced in this situation. "Call the police? They can't do anything about it. Paying back debts is a matter of course. We didn't curse at you, we didn't lay a hand on you, we were just politely discussing it with you... If the police want to arrest someone, they'll arrest a deadbeat like you who refuses to pay back his debts."
The group remained in a stalemate inside the house for quite some time.
The man glanced around a few times, then kicked the table over. "I'll give you three more days. If you can't pay back the money by then, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Jiang Zhiyi stood there watching them leave.
The room was a complete mess, with many things scattered on the floor, some overturned, some overturned...
It took Jiang Zhiyi a long time to come to her senses.
She turned around, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
She drank it in big gulps, and perhaps because she drank it too fast, some water droplets slid out from the corners of her mouth.
Water droplets flowed down his chin and dripped directly onto his collar, the water stains spreading little by little on his clothes.
Jiang Zhiyi put down her water glass and stared blankly at the doorway, lost in thought.
Before long, tears welled up and rolled down her reddened eyes.
The room was very quiet; the only sound was her soft sobbing.
