There was only one resort area under construction here. They asked a passerby and found out that they had gone the wrong way. Fortunately, they hadn't gone too far. Lu Hua turned the steering wheel and drove around to get back.
Inside the car, Sun Lifang voiced her doubts: "What do you mean by 'saving your life'? I don't understand."
Preventing Lu Hua from acting as a guarantor only results in financial loss; how could it involve life and death?
"Sigh." Lu Hua sighed and looked ahead. "Don't laugh at me, but I'll tell you the truth."
“I can’t really just ignore Kong Xiang. She’s not in a good mental state. I left my phone number at the hospital and asked my younger brother to come along and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”
Lu Hua's eyes were filled with nostalgia: "She took care of me like this when I was hospitalized as a college student. You can understand, right?"
Sun Lifang nodded. "And then?"
The air seemed to freeze. Lu Hua saw the woman's calm face in the rearview mirror. After a long while, he said, "She was taken away by the police."
Under Sun Lifang's surprised gaze, Lu Hua recounted what had happened: "The younger brother from the hospital called and said that Kong Xiang wanted to borrow money from him. I was curious at the time, thinking that she couldn't be so poor as to borrow a few hundred yuan."
"I told my little brother to keep quiet, lend her the money, and secretly follow her. And then guess what happened?"
Before Sun Lifang could speak, Lu Hua chuckled softly, "Damn it, she's actually addicted to that kind of stuff, and even her husband doesn't know."
That kind of thing?
Two words flashed through Sun Lifang's mind, and then she heard Lu Hua's angry voice, "No wonder my husband smoked the cigarette she gave him and came back and vomited all night, saying he felt dizzy and wanted to smoke. When you put it all together, it makes perfect sense."
Kong Xiang had a backup plan that made them addicted and forced them to follow along.
Such viciousness left Sun Lifang terrified: "What happened next...?"
"You want to ask how my husband found out, right?" Lu Hua glanced at her and said indifferently, "Haven't you seen pigs run even if you haven't eaten pork? There are plenty of people in this circle who get obsessed with someone and go bankrupt. Luckily, he found out early."
Therefore, Sun Lifang's obstruction secretly helped her and saved her family.
Lu Hua continued, "That store was fake too. It was a clothing store on the surface, but they were selling those kinds of things behind the scenes. Looking back, I was really stupid. I almost gave her money as a guarantor. If the partner is found out, who would believe you if you said you didn't know?"
This was absolutely a death sentence; the amount of information was overwhelming, and Sun Lifang's eyes widened in shock.
Only then did everything truly connect.
What caused this once-powerful tycoon to lose all his wealth and his family to be destroyed?
If it were just a guarantee, it wouldn't be so bad. To scheme against your sister so thoroughly is no less than selling her out and eating her flesh and blood. How could there be such a heartless best friend?
Sun Lifang trembled with anger: "How...how could she have done this to you?"
Lu Hua smiled bitterly: "That stuff can make people lose their humanity. What wouldn't she do? To scheme against me like that, I definitely wouldn't have let anyone else get away with it. But out of consideration for our past relationship, I just sent her in."
"We'll have nothing to do with each other from now on. She's used up all my feelings for her."
Sun Lifang sighed deeply; this was truly a complete severing of ties.
.
As the car drove into the resort, Li Zhi's phone went unanswered. Sun Lifang unbuckled her seatbelt and told Lu Hua to park nearby first, and they would go in together later.
There was a large crowd gathered at the entrance, and the surrounding area was empty except for trees. Sun Lifang wondered, wasn't the banquet hall inside?
What are you all doing here? Feeding the mosquitoes?
What was even stranger was the look on these people's faces; they seemed not to have expected her to get out of a Mercedes.
What's going on today? Usually it's all Santanas, but one convertible sports car wasn't enough, they also brought a brand new Mercedes. And the worst part is that Sun Lifang got out of the passenger seat of that Mercedes.
Sun Lifang was aware of Zhou Yunshi's worth.
If a startup owner has set up a complete assembly line, where does the money to buy a Mercedes come from?
There was a buzz of discussion below, when suddenly someone with a keen eye pointed out: "Look, it's a Mercedes' license plate!"
A string of consecutive license plates drew everyone's attention; this wasn't something money could buy, but rather power. The crowd's gazes toward Sun Lifang suddenly became fervent.
Compared to the other car, what is Zhang Dali's convertible sports car?
Hearing the whispers around her, Du Qiaozhi felt displeased and ran over: "Where did this car come from? How could you possibly have the money to buy a car like this?"
Even my brother-in-law, Mr. Li, doesn't have one; this kind of license plate has a special meaning.
"From a friend."
Du Qiaozhi's eyes were ambiguous: "Friend? What kind of friend? I didn't expect you to have this side to you, Sun Lifang."
She glanced at the woman in the tank top from before, and her actions sparked a flurry of imagination among the onlookers.
The husband is busy earning money to support the family, while the wife is having an affair. Such sensational gossip is sure to stir people's hearts.
It's understandable that people have these questions: who can drive a car with this kind of license plate?
They were from another class of people. The vast majority of those present were from well-off families who had built their businesses. Even some of the long-established wealthy people still harbored a fear of power.
While social classes are difficult to transcend, it doesn't stop people from speculating about others with the worst possible selfishness.
“Boring.” Sun Lifang tried to walk away, but Du Qiaozhi grabbed her arm.
At this moment, Zhang Dali stepped forward and asked, "Are you Sun Lifang?"
"Hmm?" Sun Lifang felt a little disgusted. The man's gaze made her very uncomfortable. Out of politeness, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong? Don't fucking pretend you have amnesia. You've forgotten what you did to me today, haven't you?" Du Qiaozhi gripped Sun Lifang's wrist tightly, afraid she would run away, and jumped up and down in a panic: "I said I won't let you off the hook. You're finished today."
Zhang Dali's gaze fell on Sun Lifang's protruding belly, and he scoffed, "Forget it, I won't hit you. That would be too embarrassing, wouldn't it? I'm here today to demand an explanation."
"I'll give you two choices. First, you bow and apologize to Du Qiaozhi, saying 'I'm sorry' a hundred times. Second, you don't have to apologize, and I'll meet with you separately later when I have time. How about that? Two choices, haven't I been merciful enough to you?"
Zhang Dali's words, spoken in a tone neither too loud nor too soft, conveyed a ruthlessness and arrogance that frightened the onlookers and made their hearts race, all wanting to know what Sun Lifang would do.
Some of them also began to persuade Zhang Dali.
Mrs. Tong began by advising, "A good man doesn't argue with a woman. Why are you making things difficult for her?"
Other people's opinions were also mixed in.
"If they have a quarrel, let them resolve it themselves. As a parent, isn't it inappropriate for you to handle it this way?"
"Making someone bow a hundred times in front of you is too much, especially since she's pregnant."
"This is so embarrassing! Who could stand bowing a hundred times to apologize? It's not her fault!"
The guests couldn't stand it anymore; how could they treat a pregnant woman like that? Zhang Dali was truly lawless.
Some offered advice, while others waited to see what would happen; everyone held their own opinions, and for a time, the noise was incessant.
"Shut the fuck up!" Zhang Dali suddenly spoke, turning around and shouting.
