Sitting in the living room, after carefully listening to what happened in the past few days, Chen Fan nodded.
He reached out and gently patted the back of Su Ruochu's hand, then looked up at Lin Wanxiu beside him.
"Mom, it's nothing, don't worry. It's just that I owe money."
"Let's pay off the bank loan first, and then slowly talk to other debtors."
“This too shall pass.”
Lin Wanxiu was a little nervous, "But...but your dad's funding gap has reached more than 20,000 yuan."
As she spoke, Lin Wanxiu began to wipe away her tears.
"In the beginning, your father had a very good plan. As long as he could sell the backlog of goods and recover the funds, he could not only pay off the money he owed to the bank, but also have some left over... But who would have thought... all those business partners... suddenly stopped purchasing goods."
Chen Fan suddenly thought of something, "By the way, where's Dad?"
"He, he went to another place to ask for money. On the one hand, he wanted to ask people to sell more goods, and on the other hand, he wanted to get back the money he owed us the most..."
Having said this, Lin Wanxiu began to wipe her tears again.
"How did the business turn out like this?"
"We were such good business partners before, but now we're not going to cooperate anymore..."
Chen Fan sighed. This was a typical example of being too blindly optimistic and trusting others too much.
This situation is all too common in the private sector.
They rely on trust to guarantee each other. If you owe money to someone and someone owes you money, as long as one party fails to pay it back, the capital chain will be broken in the end, and it will turn into a huge triangular debt relationship.
"Call Dad."
Chen Fan comforted Su Ruochu, then stood up and went to the balcony with his phone.
The call was connected, and Su Xuecheng on the other end of the line was in a relatively normal mood. As a man, he did not choose to escape, but actively sought a solution.
Chen Fan agreed with Su Xuecheng to let him come back tomorrow and contact all the creditors at the same time, and ask them to come over tomorrow so that he can talk to them in person and solve the problem together.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan walked back to comfort his family.
"Nothing."
"In this world, nothing is difficult as long as it can be solved with money."
"Xiao Chen, thank you."
Lin Wanxiu was full of gratitude. When she heard that her husband was coming back today, she said she didn't want to stay here at all and wanted to go home.
In view of the mother's situation, Chen Fan thought about it and suggested that Su Ruochu accompany her mother home to live, and the child would stay with her parents for the time being.
After driving the two of them back home and entering the building, Chen Fan realized why his mother had been sick these days.
The situation was even worse than what Su Ruchu had told him.
At the entrance of the unit, the walls on both sides were covered with the words "꺶꺶놅" in bright red paint.
"You're in debt! Pay it back!"
The security door was also splashed with paint.
When I opened the door and walked into the house, it was a mess.
Almost all the things that can be moved have been taken away.
"They... couldn't get the money, so they moved the things away."
Lin Wanxiu sighed softly.
"When I was doing business with your dad, in order to get more goods, I kept calling you Brother Su so affectionately. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it would become like this..."
Su Ruochu's eyes were red. Seeing her family, where she had grown up, become like this, she felt even more upset.
Chen Fan patted Su Ruochu's shoulder gently.
"Go check your bedroom to see if anything is missing."
Su Ruochu nodded, walked to her bedroom next door, opened the door, and saw that the things inside were a bit messy, but fortunately, nothing important was lost.
Chen Fan comforted her softly, "Go help mom clean up outside, I'll clean up here."
Su Ruochu looked up at Chen Fan, nodded with red eyes, and left the bedroom.
Chen Fan squatted down and began to clean up, sorting out the books scattered on the ground.
Su Ruochu's room is simply decorated. In addition to a bed, there is also a wardrobe, a desk and a computer desk.
The desktop computer is missing.
All the books on the desk were scattered on the floor.
Most of these books are study books, and some are study notes from school.
Chen Fan even found a few textbooks from high school, which Su Ruchu was reluctant to buy and had kept very well.
Picking up a senior high school Chinese textbook, Chen Fan casually opened it and took a look.
It was filled with my wife's beautiful handwriting.
Compared to his own textbooks which were wrinkled as if they had been chewed by a dog, Su Ruochu's books were in very good condition.
Just as he was about to put it away, Chen Fan suddenly noticed a piece of paper tucked inside the cover of the title page.
I took it out out of curiosity and found a small piece of paper full of words.
Chen Fan opened the cover of the book in confusion, and found that there were many small notes hidden inside.
Each slip of paper was sorted, flattened, and carefully hidden inside.
"Can I copy your math homework after school?"
"Can you show me your notes on the wrong questions?"
"Angry?"
"Please don't make such silly jokes again. Otherwise I will ignore you forever."
"I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again without your permission."
"If you're still angry, why don't you give me a kiss in return?"
Looking at the content of the note, the corners of Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly.
Memories seem to have returned to the high times.
These were all from the note I had exchanged with Su Ruochu back then.
The content of each note is the unique "QQ chat" content of that era.
He didn't expect that Su Ruchu actually saved all of them.
And it is preserved so well.
"I had a dream. In the dream, I missed a good girl and regretted it for the rest of my life."
"I will never let go in this life."
"Chen Fan, listen carefully to the class."
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at these words now, Chen Fan couldn't help but think that the luckiest thing in his life should be becoming a table with Su Ruochu.
Otherwise, given the gap in their bodies and personalities at the time, Su Ruchu would probably never have noticed herself.
Chen Fan flipped through the notes, his lips curled up slightly, and memories flooded into his mind.
I took out my phone and took a photo of the notes.
Then I hid them back inside the book cover.
Pick up the books, put them back on the bookshelf and organize them.
My sight fell on the photos pressed under the glass of the desk.
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Fortunately, these photos are still there and have not been destroyed.
It can be said that these photos record Su Ruochu’s growth from childhood to adulthood.
She was cute in kindergarten, well-behaved and quiet in elementary school, and a ladylike school beauty in high school.
Several graduation class photos recorded Su Ruochu's study career from kindergarten to before the college entrance examination.
Next to these photos, there is another photo placed in an important position.
After the college entrance examination, Su Ruochu agreed to Chen Fan's pursuit. On the day they filled out their applications, they took the only photo together on campus.
In front of a larch tree on campus, Su Ruochu and Chen Fan stood together, one was a well-behaved lady, the other was a sunny and handsome man.
In the photo, Chen Fan reached out and hugged Su Ruochu’s shoulders for the first time.
The most innocent and beautiful moments of youth are frozen forever.
Chen Fan looked at the photos with a smile on his face, and finally pulled out a photo of Su Ruchu in school uniform taken on the high school campus from under the glass and secretly hid it in his pocket.
When I turned my head, I saw Su Ruochu standing at the door.
Chen Fan suddenly felt guilty.
"What's wrong?"
"Will you stay for dinner tonight? Go out and buy groceries."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Under the current situation, I am worried about you and mom living here alone."
"I'm not leaving today. Can I just stay here?"
After saying that, he lay down on Su Ruochu's bed. Said quite shamelessly.
"When I was in school, I fantasized countless times about stepping into your boudoir."
"After so many years of hard work, my dream finally came true."
