As evening fell, the setting sun cast a beautiful glow on the sky after the rain.
A luxurious extended Lincoln was driving on a mountain road.
Tang Hanyan escorted Song Qingyou all the way to the door, and before getting out of the car, she made sure to instruct someone to help carry in the things she had bought that day, not letting Song Qingyou lift a single item.
Fu Wenzhou walked out of the house, his gaze sweeping over the Tang family members who were moving in and out. At this moment, his anger towards Tang Hanyan had reached its peak.
What's wrong with this woman?
Why did you take his job?
Does the Fu family really lack something like this?
Fu Wenzhou pulled Song Qingyou to his side with a cold face: "Miss Tang, goodbye and don't come back."
This means to see the guest off.
Tang Hanyan didn't take Fu Wenzhou seriously at all. Except when facing Song Qingyou, she had a cold expression towards everyone else: "Whether I leave or not is none of your business."
Fu Wenzhou pressed his tongue against his cheek and said with a forced smile, "You came uninvited?"
Afraid that the two would quarrel again, Song Qingyou hurriedly pulled Fu Wenzhou into the house, turning back to say as she walked, "Miss Tang, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
Tang Hanyan waved to her, then turned and got into the car.
"Go to Lane 25, Third Alley, East City".
As the driver drove, he asked, "Miss, what are you doing there?"
Tang Hanyan: "I'm going to see someone."
The driver didn't ask any more questions, and the several cars drove off in a grand procession.
Forty minutes later, the driver drove the car into an alley, where the road became increasingly bumpy and difficult to navigate until it reached a fork in the road that was no longer wide enough for a single car.
When the car in front stops, the cars behind follow suit.
Several tall, burly bodyguards got out of the car, one of whom stepped forward to open the car door for Tang Hanyan: "Miss, you're wearing high heels, this road is difficult to walk on, I'll carry you."
It had just rained, and the path was full of potholes. Tang Hanyan frowned and hummed in agreement.
The man immediately squatted down so that Tang Hanyan could lie on his back.
Someone carried Tang Hanyan's bag from behind, while someone else held an umbrella for her; everyone had a clear division of labor.
As I passed through an alley, I heard shouts, cries, and angry shouts coming from behind a wall.
The noise was chaotic and bothersome, which annoyed Tang Hanyan: "Go and see what's going on."
"Yes, Miss." The butler immediately called someone forward to check.
A moment later, the bodyguard returned: "Miss, they're here to collect a debt. We don't need to deal with them."
Tang Hanyan asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"
The butler said, "Just go through the next alley."
Tang Hanyan was already impatient. Suppressing her displeasure, she ordered, "Let's go."
The group walked a little further in, and as they turned a corner, Tang Hanyan glanced in the direction of the arguing and crying, her expression changing: "Put me down."
Inside, there was constant arguing, accompanied by a woman's sobbing.
Tang Hanyan recognized the woman kneeling in the middle; if she remembered correctly, her name was Xu Qingran.
In Linzhou, when investigating Song Ning, she saw her photo.
What's wrong?
How did I end up being chased by debt collectors at my door?
Tang Hanyan stretched out her hand, and before she could even speak, someone immediately handed her a phone—a tacit understanding that had developed between mistress and servant over the years.
She excitedly turned on the camera to record.
Xu Qingran cried and begged for mercy again and again, but the leader was not easily fooled. He said angrily, "Qingran, that money is all our hard-earned money. Your father cheated us out of so much money and then died. We can only ask you for it. The sins of the father must be paid by the son!"
Xu Qingran cried and said, "Uncle Zhang, please, for the sake of us being from the same town, let us go. We really don't have any money, and even if we did, we couldn't raise it so quickly..."
Zhang Cheng said, "We trusted you and your daughter so much that we agreed to keep delaying, but what did you do? You just ran away! That money was my child's life-saving money! A whole bunch of us are waiting for this money to live on. We came all the way from Xinxiang. Do you know how much we suffered along the way? Anyway, we don't care about any of that. You need to pay back the money right now! If you don't, we'll have to take you and your mother back with us!"
Xu Qingran dared not go back with them. In the capital, there was still the rule of law. In their town, they were local bullies. If he went back and couldn't repay the money, he would just have to wait to die!
She and Song Ning were forced into it.
Xu Qingran's face was covered in tears, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "Give me three more days, and I will definitely be able to raise the money for you!"
"Three days? Where are you going to raise the money in three days? You're not going to run away again, are you?"
"No, I have an older sister who is very rich. She will give it to you. Give me three days. Come back to me at the same time after three days, and I will definitely return it to you. Okay, Uncle Zhang?"
Uncle Zhang remained silent, but the others simply did not believe Xu Qingran's words, because they had been deceived too many times before.
"No, Lao Zhang, you absolutely can't trust her. Have you forgotten how those two women cheated us back in our hometown? If you believe her now, you'll be repeating the same mistakes. We came all this way just to get this money! Are we going to go back empty-handed again?"
Zhang Chenggang swallowed back the words he was about to say. He didn't intend to give Xu Qingran another chance. He led his men up to the tenement building, and no matter how heartbroken Xu Qingran cried or how much she begged for mercy, it was useless.
