After careful consideration, Meng Shuyun solemnly promised, "Sir, thank you so much. We really need this money. But we assure you, we will definitely repay it."
Her eyes were firm, and her tone was sincere, conveying her determination.
Soon, the loan agreement was approved, and the money was transferred directly to Su Xiangnan's account.
With a debt of 200,000 yuan, the pressure suddenly increased.
Meng Shuyun never asked what Su Xiangnan had actually done. Even if Su Xiangnan failed, she thought that if she worked hard enough in her lifetime, she could still pay back the money.
"Don't worry too much. Su Xiangnan will come back to you once he's sorted things out. Just focus on getting better and don't think about anything else," Meng Shuyun said gently, looking at Gu Xue tenderly.
Gu Xue looked at Meng Shuyun gratefully, tears welling in her eyes. Unable to control her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Meng Shuyun's arms, sobbing softly, "Mother, thank you, thanks to you, thank you so much."
At this moment, words could not express her gratitude to Meng Shuyun.
Meng Shuyun gently patted Gu Xue's back and comforted her, "We're all family, no need for such formalities. It's still early, go back and take Xiulan and Xiuju out for a stroll together."
Gu Xue wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously.
Xiaoli and Xiaojuan didn't know why Gu Xue was crying. They assumed it was because their running around had frightened her, so they quickly took out their treasured milk candies from their pockets, put them in Gu Xue's hand, and, mimicking Meng Shuyun's tone, comforted her:
"Second Aunt, don't cry, have some candy. We won't run away anymore."
"You won't look good if you cry your face. Second Aunt, don't cry. What would you like to eat? Xiaoli will treat you."
Gu Xue was amused by the two sisters' mature demeanor and smiled through her tears: "Okay, don't cry, I'm just too touched. Let's go shopping, Auntie will pay."
Upon hearing this, the two sisters cheered immediately. The sadness they had been feeling about being separated from their friend was instantly dispelled.
Children's emotions come and go quickly.
Back at the hotel, Su Xiuju and Meng Kangshun had already gone out. Su Xiangyang was saying he was hungry, and Deng Jiaqi was nowhere to be seen either, probably out having fun as well.
Meng Shuyun took Su Xiulan out for a walk, and the hotel thoughtfully provided a twin stroller.
Su Xiulan and Gu Xue were amazed when they saw the stroller. They had never seen such a stroller before. They used to carry their children on their backs when they went out. With this stroller, it would be much more convenient.
The three of them, plus the two little ones, made for a beautiful sight as soon as they stepped outside.
Those twin strollers were so eye-catching that many mothers came up to ask where they were bought.
I came to a street where people buy clothes again. It had only been half a year since I last came here, but the changes here were earth-shattering.
Previously, there was only one street, but now it has expanded to three streets, with shops and stalls everywhere, and a dazzling array of goods that are hard to resist.
Su Xiulan looked around in amazement, her eyes wide with wonder: "Mom, we don't have any of these clothes back home! And they're so cheap!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the beautiful clothes, her desire to shop instantly ignited.
Women are naturally drawn to clothes, bags, and cosmetics, and Su Xiulan is no exception.
On the other hand, Gu Ling woke up in the morning and, having received no useful information from the bodyguards, flew into a rage, nearly burning the hotel down: "What are you all good for? You can't even find a single person!"
Her eyes were wide with anger, her hands on her hips, and her face seemed to overflow with rage.
"Miss, I heard someone spotted them. Should we go after them?" a bodyguard asked cautiously, his voice barely audible.
Gu Ling snorted coldly, smashed everything in the hotel to pieces without saying a word, then packed all the important things into her bag and stormed off to find someone.
After searching for a long time, I never expected to catch up with a senior citizen tour group.
Aside from having a slightly larger number of people, none of them matched the person they were looking for.
Gu Ling immediately flew into a rage and began to beat up the bodyguard.
The elderly tourists were all kind-hearted and couldn't stand her behavior, so they quickly went up to stop her.
"You look so glamorous, how could you hit someone like that!" a plump middle-aged woman accused indignantly.
"In broad daylight, don't you have any shame? How could you be so ruthless to such a fair-skinned young girl!" another old man shouted.
Gu Ling stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the group of elderly people with arrogance, and said disdainfully, "Ask them, I hit them and that's it, do they dare to utter a word?"
"These are all my servants. I can beat them however I want. Is it any of your business?"
Her tone was arrogant and domineering, showing no regard for these elderly people.
The conflict was about to erupt when someone threw a rotten egg, which hit Gu Ling right in the eye.
"Ah!" Gu Ling screamed, covering her eyes, which instantly turned bruised and purple.
"If you dare to smash this young lady, none of you will get away with it!" she roared angrily.
A group of people immediately started fighting.
Su Xiumei and Zhou Xianye, carrying large and small bags, witnessed this chaotic scene.
A group of burly bodyguards in suits were fighting fiercely with a group of elderly men and women.
Although the elderly men and women weren't strong fighters, they outnumbered each other and were all elderly, so the other party didn't dare to really make a move. They could just lie down on the ground and extort a thousand or two thousand yuan from any of them.
Gu Ling had never witnessed the ferocity of rural people before, and she immediately got into a fight with them.
Su Xiumei frowned as she looked at the chaotic scene, wondering whether she should go up and break it up, but Zhou Xianye stopped her: "Don't go. The scene is so chaotic. If you go up to help, you might get hurt."
Su Xiumei hesitated for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement and quietly left from the side.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ling was pushed hard by someone and bumped into Su Xiumei.
Zhou Xianye reacted quickly, but it was too late. Although he managed to protect Su Xiumei, the things in his hands fell to the ground.
Before Gu Ling could react, she didn't even realize when her bag had fallen from her hand, and was surrounded by the older women and men who scolded her.
Zhou Xianye was extremely nervous, pulling Su Xiumei around to look her over: "Are you alright?"
Su Xiumei was still shaken. She patted her chest and said, "I'm fine. The clothes I bought just got dirty."
She looked at her clothes, now dirty and trampled on the ground, with a pained expression, regretting that she hadn't held them more firmly.
Zhou Xianye pulled Su Xiumei a little further away: "You stay here, I'll pick up the things. It's dirty, but as long as no one is hurt, it's fine."
Su Xiumei nodded, secretly glad that she had listened to Zhou Xianye and hadn't gone to help.
The couple hurriedly left with their belongings. They had originally come here to enjoy the scenery, but now they had no interest in doing so at all.
