The next day, Tang Li met Aunt Fang, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and drank the soup Aunt Fang made, as well as her best friend Yan Zhenzhen!
"Zhenzhen, what brings you here?"
Yan Zhenzhen sighed, her eyes full of heartache, "I just got back and received a message from Mr. Lu's assistant saying that he hoped I could come and keep you company when I had time, so I came over right away."
“Lili, I only went abroad for a short time, how could this be…”
Yan Zhenzhen simply couldn't believe that the Tang family's vast fortune had vanished into thin air.
Tang Li's lips were deathly pale. "I didn't expect things to happen so suddenly."
Yan Zhen hugged her tightly, feeling heartbroken. She was so thin, like a paper doll. "Baby, are you okay? It hurts to see you like this. You've lost so much weight."
"Have I lost a lot of weight?"
Tang Li smiled wryly. Maybe so; she hadn't been in the mood for anything lately.
Yan Zhenzhen frowned, "We've only been apart for three months, and you look so haggard."
Yan Zhenzhen sighed deeply, but quickly started gossiping again, "Are you dating Lu Jianshen now?"
Yan Zhenzhen was one of Tang Li's few friends. Tang Li wanted to tell the truth that she and Lu Jianshen were just in a contractual relationship and had nothing else to do with each other. When the time came, they would naturally break up.
I really don't believe it!
"How could that be? He cares about you so much! He invited Aunt Fang, who has been taking care of you, back, and even encouraged us to visit more often. Otherwise, how would I have had the chance to get into President Lu's territory!"
Would you go to such lengths if it weren't for someone you like?
"may be……"
Tang Li stammered, unable to explain the specific reason, but she didn't believe Lu Jianshen would like her.
Lu Jianshen has too many women to choose from; even the most famous socialite in Beijing is eager to be with him.
Yan Zhenzhen was very certain, "What's possible! He just likes you!"
"He beat Lu Chengyi up like that for your sake. Are you his nephew or is Lu Chengyi his nephew? It's self-evident!"
"If he didn't like you, why did he beat up Lu Chengyi?"
Tang Li argued, "It's possible that there's some kind of grudge between them, uncle and nephew?"
Yan Zhenzhen shrugged. "Let's not even talk about how Lu Chengyi is always trying to curry favor with his uncle. How could he have offended him? What kind of grudge could an elder and a junior possibly have?"
"Lili, you're deliberately running away. You can't reject true love and miss out on a good person just because you were hurt in your last relationship and met a jerk!"
Neither of them knew that Lu Jianshen happened to be passing by the door at that moment. It must be said that Yan Zhenzhen is really smart and kind, and she is a good friend who can be a close friend!
"What do I have that he would like? I've been married before." Tang Li's words carried a hint of inferiority.
She was never an insecure person, but after meeting Lu Jianshen, who shone brightly, Tang Li became timid.
Yan Zhenzhen said nonchalantly, "So what if you've been married? My sisters will always be the most beautiful and the best!"
As she spoke, she hugged Tang Li tightly, the poor girl.
Yan Zhenzhen whispered in her ear, "Let me tell you, hold on tight. Lu Jianshen is much better than Lu Chengyi. That Lu Chengyi is a scumbag who deserves to be torn to pieces!"
She truly felt that Tang Li shouldn't have missed out on such a wonderful person. Lu Jianshen was so handsome; any children they had would be handsome men and beautiful women. It was a win-win situation!
Tang Li smiled and said, "You've gone too far off topic."
"I don't dare to think that Lu Jianshen would like me right now. I just want to pay off my debts as soon as possible. I still owe a billion yuan. How can I have the mind to think about romance!"
She gets so anxious that she can't sleep whenever she thinks about the 1 billion yuan debt.
"1 billion!" Yan Zhenzhen was stunned. "Sister, are you kidding me? You couldn't earn that much even if you worked for ten lifetimes!"
Tang Li sighed. Yan Zhenzhen really was speaking the truth. She knew she couldn't repay the debt, but there was nothing she could do.
The debts are there, and children are responsible for their parents' debts; she has to take responsibility as long as she lives.
After a pause, Yan Zhenzhen came up with another idea. She said, "Unless you start your own business, but starting a business is risky."
Tang Li had considered this method before, but she needed to have some financial foundation, as she currently had nothing!
Moreover, there is no 100% success rate in starting a business. If she fails, she could lose everything, making things even worse.
Yan Zhenzhen fell silent. Although her family was well-off, they couldn't afford to give her best friend 1 billion yuan to pay off her debts.
Ultimately, it's because they lack the ability.
Tang Li chuckled and changed the subject, "Alright, let's not talk about these depressing things anymore, let's talk about something happy. How was your trip to America?"
Yan Zhenzhen started talking non-stop again, telling Tang Li to take good care of her health, as they wanted to go out and have fun as soon as possible.
"You know, I love being with you the most when I'm in China. Now you're lying in bed, and if I go back to China, I won't have any friends to keep me company!"
Tang Li nodded and agreed.
Before leaving, Lu Jianshen met with Yan Zhenzhen alone.
He had some things to tell Tang Li, his smart friend, and that Yan Zhenzhen would be a great help.
"...Miss Yan, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Yan Zhenzhen was stunned, then became so excited that she jumped up and down, talking incoherently. She said that she was absolutely right.
"You can just confess your feelings!"
Lu Jianshen said, "I'm afraid of scaring her, so I have to guide her gently and gradually. She's not even thinking about that right now."
Tang Li still regarded him as her ex-husband's brother-in-law.
"Miss Yan, you will help me, won't you?"
