This is an old residential building, which is a bit run-down and crowded, and most of the residents are migrant workers.
The door of the room at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor was smashed to pieces, and paint was splashed on the wall with the words "Pay your debts" written on it.
A woman with her hair loose was sitting on the ground holding her child, crying about her grievances. The child didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw his mother crying out of breath, he also started to cry loudly.
It really makes those who hear it cry and those who listen to it feel sad.
At this time, a group of people gathered in front of the building. Some were filled with righteous indignation but did not dare to provoke the dozen or so shirtless men. Some quietly picked up their mobile phones to record short videos, while others were busy trying to find out what had happened.
"Her husband borrowed money from loan sharks to gamble, and he can't pay it back."
"Oh my God, you don't care about your wife and children? You are so heartless."
"That's right. How much money can an orphan and a widow have?"
"Why not give them a chance to live?"
......
Chi Mingchu followed behind Ji Youli, indifferent to the woman's tragic experience. Her attention was all on one of the shirtless men.
That person is clearly He Wei!
Really, I told him to get out a long time ago, why is he still staying in Beijing? He even started collecting debts.
She had said a long time ago that they were not from the same world, and now it seemed to be true. Someone like him would never be able to compare with Ji Youli in this life.
Thinking of this, Chi Mingchu looked at Ji Youli almost obsessively.
He Wei obviously also noticed Chi Mingchu.
He looked as if he had been struck by lightning, staring blankly at Ji Youli and Chi Mingchu.
The shirtless man in the lead threw away the cigarette in his hand, glanced fiercely at the crowd, and they all fell silent.
The shirtless man walked up to the woman and looked down at her: "Tell me, what are you going to do with the money you owe us?"
The woman burst into tears: "I really don't have a penny left."
"Damn it, do you want to owe me money or not?" As he said that, the shirtless man was about to pull the woman up from the ground.
"Stop!" Ji Youli just pushed through the crowd and walked in. "How much does she owe you?"
"What? Are you going to help this woman?" The shirtless man looked Ji Youli up and down.
Seeing that the yellow-haired boy was dressed decently, the shirtless man replied, "The principal plus interest is 250,000 yuan in total."
Ji Youli sneered: "With just 250,000 yuan, you want to drive her to death?"
The shirtless man waved his fist and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to help her, just get out of here. Why are you pretending to be a big shot? You little brat."
Ji Youli's eyes became fierce because of the "little brat", but the man was used to it and was not afraid of him at all.
Ji Youli was so angry that his veins were throbbing and his head was dizzy. If he turned around and left, wouldn't it be acknowledging that he was just showing off? He, who has always been very concerned about his reputation, immediately transferred 250,000 yuan to the shirtless man.
The shirtless man originally thought that he would not get any money today, but he did not expect to meet such a sucker, and he immediately smiled happily.
"Give me the IOU." Ji Youli reminded.
"Okay." After getting the money, the shirtless brother didn't mind Ji Youli's arrogant attitude and handed over the IOU readily.
Ji Youli took the IOU and put it in front of the woman: "Is this your IOU?"
The woman wiped her face, looked carefully, and indeed saw the name of her beast on it.
"Yes, it is."
"Yes." Ji Youli tore the IOU into pieces. "You are even with them now."
Hearing this, the woman knelt down to Ji Youli while holding the child in her arms: "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you, thank you so much, you saved our lives."
"It's okay." Ji Youli didn't care. He didn't want to save the mother and son. He was just annoyed by the shirtless man scolding him.
The woman was quite reasonable and said, "My benefactor, please leave me your phone number. I will return it to you when I have saved enough money."
Ji Youli dusted off his body and frowned in disgust.
"No need to pay it back, 250,000 is nothing to me."
The people around him were all shocked to see how generous he was, saying that he didn't have to pay back the 250,000 yuan.
Ji Youli liked this kind of almost worshipful look, and his originally depressed mood instantly improved, but he didn't want to stay in such a dirty and poor place for a long time, so he turned around and left.
Chi Mingchu glared at He Wei with a warning look and followed Ji Youli's steps.
"Let's go and call it a day." Since Ji Youli had already helped to pay back the money, the shirtless brother no longer made things difficult for the mother and son and called a dozen brothers to go back.
They cheered and followed the shirtless brother, waiting to sing, drink and have fun. Only He Wei was still standing there stupidly.
The shirtless brother was quite satisfied with He Wei. He Wei was a simple-minded man with brute force, and was a useful thug.
He walked a few steps and saw that He Wei had not caught up, so he turned back, patted He Wei's shoulder vigorously, and asked; "Ah Wei, why don't you leave?"
"Brother, I think I'm still making too little." He Wei stared at the direction where Chi Mingchu was going, "I want a lot of money, just like that guy just now."
He Wei was a grown man, but tears were glistening in his eyes.
No matter how stupid he was, he realized that Chi Mingchu was with someone else. He did not blame Chi Mingchu, but blamed himself instead.
It was because he was useless and couldn't make a lot of money that Mingchu chose other men.
He grew up with Mingchu, Mingchu is his life, he can't live without Mingchu, he wants to be as rich as that man.
The shirtless man rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "I know of a very profitable business, do you want to do it?"
"Do it!" He Wei said in a loud voice.
As long as he can make money, with money, he can be with Mingchu.
"Okay!" The shirtless man laughed loudly, put his arm around He Wei's shoulder and left.
......
Sheng family.
Chi Beibei danced for more than an hour, and a thin layer of blush covered her delicate face, but her full physical strength made her not feel tired.
Just as they were about to dance again, Sheng Yuanyuan, who had been playing the guitar obediently for more than an hour, finally felt tired.
"Oh, Beibei, my hands are sore, shall we take a break?"
"Okay." Chi Beibei walked over to Sheng Yuanyuan and sat down, helping her take off the armor. "Thank you for your hard work, Yuanyuan."
“Hehe.” Sheng Yuanyuan leaned her head on Chi Beibei, “Beibei, you dance so well, you will definitely get first place. Chi Mingchu will be pissed off.”
A smile appeared on Chi Beibei's lips. She was also looking forward to the scene where Chi Mingchu was pissed off, so she couldn't slack off now and had to take first place.
"Yuanyuan, you are also great. You played Sleeve Dance so well in just a few days."
Sheng Yuanyuan's face turned red: "Because I want to help you, let's defeat Chi Mingchu together!"
"Thank you, Yuanyuan." Chi Beibei couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little flesh on her face.
Sheng Yuanyuan was not angry either. She smiled and said, "Beibei, it's great that you can come. I'm so bored alone."
She pointed at him aggrievedly: "Brother Tzuyu is busy organizing the songs he wrote, and he has to secretly go to your aunt to record songs on weekends. He has no time to play with me."
Chi Beibei shook her head helplessly. Yuanyuan really has the mentality of a child, but she is still quite cute.
Jiang Lanxue came in with two cups of honey water and a plate of fruit. Looking at the two girls sitting side by side, a smile spread across her eyes. "Are you tired? Eat something first."
"Wow, Mom, you're the best. I'm thirsty." Sheng Yuanyuan cheered and took the honey water.
"Thank you, Auntie." Chi Beibei was a little hungry, so she picked up some strawberries to eat.
Jiang Lanxue sat aside, looking at them gently, and suddenly said, "Beibei, why don't you stay for lunch? Try Auntie's cooking."
Sheng Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she took Chi Beibei's arm and said coquettishly, "Beibei, my mother's cooking is delicious, why don't you eat with us? Let's continue practicing in the afternoon."
At the invitation of Jiang Lanxue and Sheng Yuanyuan, Chi Beibei stayed.
Jiang Lanxue cooked lunch herself, with Aunt Pei helping her.
Jiang Lanxue has been in charge of the Sheng family's charity work in recent years. Although she has superb cooking skills, she seldom cooks. Because of Chi Beibei's arrival today, she specially prepared several of her signature dishes.
At the dinner table, Sheng Chongren, who had just returned from work, saw the dishes made by his wife and said with a smile, "We are all blessed by Beibei."
Jiang Lanxue glared at him and used the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Chi Beibei: "Beibei, you don't have to be polite. Just pick up whatever you want to eat."
"Okay, thank you Auntie." Chi Beibei felt a little embarrassed. Aunt Sheng was really enthusiastic.
Sheng Yuanyuan was not jealous, and even used a serving chopstick to pick up food for Chi Beibei.
The meal was a joyful one.
After dinner, Sheng Yuanyuan and Chi Beibei sat together on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Jiang Lanxue noticed that Chi Beibei only ate strawberries among the fruits prepared today, so she asked Aunt Pei to prepare the ingredients and planned to make strawberry castle cake as afternoon tea dessert for the two girls.
In this way, Chi Beibei and Sheng Yuanyuan practiced for three hours in the afternoon, tasted the desserts prepared by Aunt Sheng together, and were invited to stay for dinner.
Jiang Lanxue originally wanted to let Chi Beibei pick out a few more dance costumes, but Chi Beibei refused to agree, so Jiang Lanxue had to give up. However, she insisted that Chi Beibei take away the two costumes that had been selected in advance.
"Beibei, take these two sets of clothes back with you. How can you practice without wearing dance clothes?"
Chi Beibei couldn't refuse and finally accepted Jiang Lanxue's dance costume.
Before leaving, Jiang Lanxue took Chi Beibei's hand and said, "Come over to visit Yuanyuan when you have time in the future." For some reason, Chi Beibei saw reluctance on her face.
"Well, goodbye, Aunt Yuanyuan." Chi Beibei waved goodbye.
Jiang Lanxue and Sheng Yuanyuan stood at the door and watched Chi Beibei leave.
Not long after, Chi Beibei returned to the Chi family. As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he heard the sound of a cup breaking and vaguely heard Chi Mingchu seem to be cursing something as an "old thing".
Chi Beibei's eyes darkened and he walked in quickly.
