Just when everyone was excitedly discussing when to start their training, three senior students came in. They all looked arrogant and superior. They were the nobleman Zhu Bai and his two student followers that Chu Lingfeng met in Acacia Garden that day. :.

Seeing these three people walk into the classroom, Xia Xinling's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because today was the deadline for her to pay back the money, and she still needed 3 million to pay back the debt, and Zhu Bai was obviously here to collect the debt. Xia Xinling could not have imagined that Zhu Bai would come to the classroom to collect the debt from her.

The originally lively classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the three seniors curiously. Duanmu Liuyun even walked over and asked, "Three seniors, come to our class, is there anything you need? Maybe I can help you!"

Zhu Bai looked at the attentive Duanmu Liuyun, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he patted his shoulder and said, "Very good, this junior brother, I want to find a junior sister named Xia Xinling, I wonder if you can help call her over!"

Duanmu Liuyun smiled and said, "That's easy, I'll take you there!"

Zhu Bai's smile became even brighter, and he said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother!"

Duanmu Liuyun smiled and led Zhu Bai and the other two towards Xia Xinling. When they passed by Hou Qingqing and the elf sisters, Zhu Bai's eyes were filled with amazement and the smile on his lips became weird.

Xia Xinling sat in her seat, staring coldly at Zhu Bai who was walking towards her. She knew that this guy would not let her go easily today and would not stop until he achieved his goal. But for the sake of her family, she had to endure it. With a resolute mentality, Xia Xinling told herself that she must be strong!

Zhu Bai looked at Xia Xinling who was pursing her lips and smiled: "Sister Xinling, you should know why I came here today!"

Xia Xinling bit her teeth and said nothing.

Zhu Bai smiled indifferently and said, "Since sister Xinling doesn't remember, then I will tell you that today is the deadline for your Xia family to pay back the five million debt we owe you. If you don't pay us back, we will take away your ancestral home!"

Five million! The poor students in the class exclaimed one after another. For them, this was an astronomical figure. It would take many years of hard work to earn it. At the same time, everyone also understood why Xia Xinling always looked indifferent and numb. It turned out that she was forced by the huge debt.

Xia Xinling gritted her teeth and asked softly, "I can only repay two million for now, can you give me a little more time?"

"No, no, no," Zhu Bai immediately denied, "I told you clearly that day that we will not extend any time. This is business and there can be no delay!"

Xia Xinling said: "But I only have two million. Just give me a year and I promise to pay it back!"

Zhu Bai smiled proudly and said, "Sister Xinling, don't be stubborn. As long as you agree to marry me, I can not only persuade my father not to take over your ancestral home, but also let your family live a rich life!"

"You're dreaming!" Xia Xinling's body trembled slightly. In fact, she was very uneasy in her heart. She even decided that if she really reached the end of her rope, she would sell her body to protect her ancestral home.

Xia Xinling knew in her heart that Zhu Bai was forcing her like this just to get her body.

Zhu Bai laughed and said, "Sister Xinling, why do you have to be like this? You know how much I love you. As long as you obey me, everything can be discussed. I can even invite the best pastor to treat your mother!"

How shameless! Everyone cursed in their hearts, especially the poor students, who cursed the most fiercely in their hearts, but they dared not say it out loud because they could not afford to offend the nobles. However, they did not dare to curse out loud, but someone dared!

"Shameless!" A clear curse came, and Hou Qingqing walked over quickly, took out a gold card, and said, "It's just three million, I'll pay it back for her, get out of here as soon as you can!"

Someone actually ruined his good deeds. Zhu Bai's face immediately turned cold. He looked at Hou Qingqing coldly and said, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business!"

Hou Qingqing said proudly: "I will not change my name, Hou Qingqing, my father is the first-class earl Hou Sheng!"

Zhu Bai's expression remained unchanged as he said, "So you are from the Hou family. But, don't think that I am so great just because I am from the Hou family. If you offend our Zhu family, your Hou family will definitely not have an easy time!" There was a strong threat in his tone.

Hou Qingqing's face changed. Although the Zhu family didn't have many people in the political circle, they were still a hereditary earl family. Moreover, the Zhu family had a high status in the business world, and their overall strength was only stronger than that of the Hou family. Hou Qingqing could naturally see that this Mr. Zhu was obviously coveting Xia Xinling's beauty, and he was determined to get her no matter what, so he couldn't help but secretly anxious.

However, Hou Qingqing would not leave easily because of Zhu Bai's threat. She said coldly, "Humph, I just lent a few million gold coins to Xinling. What does it have to do with you? I can lend money to anyone I want. You have no right to interfere. Does this mean I have offended your Zhu family?"

Xia Xinling cast a grateful look towards Hou Qingqing, and Hou Qingqing smiled at her, telling her not to worry, she would take care of everything!

Zhu Bai narrowed his eyes and stared at Hou Qingqing for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I remember that our Zhu and Hou families have a business worth tens of millions of gold coins. I wonder what the consequences will be if our Zhu family suddenly withdraws?" Hou Qingqing's face suddenly became extremely ugly. Zhu Bai continued, "If the Earl of Hou asks about it, I will tell him that his daughter disregarded the friendship between the two families and ruined my good deeds. I wonder what the Earl of Hou will think?"

"You~~shameless!" Hou Qingqing was so angry that her face turned blue and her body trembled. Although the Hou family was an aristocratic family, they were not very wealthy. If they lost tens of millions of gold coins at once, their lives would become difficult, which was not allowed.

Zhu Bai laughed loudly, looking like a smug villain, which made everyone want to beat him up.

Xia Xinling grabbed Hou Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, forget it. Don't make your uncle unhappy because of my affairs!"

"No, I can't watch you jump into the fire pit!" Hou Qingqing looked at Duanmu Liuyun unwillingly and shouted, "Duanmu squad leader, don't you plan to help sister Xinling?"

Duanmu Liuyun was a little hesitant and was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Duanmu. Our two families have always been on good terms, and we have even closer business relations. I'm sure that Brother Duanmu will not ruin my good deeds!" Although Zhu Bai had a big smile on his face, there was a hint of threat in his tone.

Duanmu Liuyun stopped talking, looked at Hou Qingqing and Xia Xinling apologetically, and then stepped aside. Seeing Duanmu Liuyun's actions, the class immediately booed.

Zhu Bai laughed loudly and said, "Brother Duanmu is still very discerning. Haha, sister Xinling, don't be stubborn anymore. Even if it's not for yourself, you should think about your aunt. She is still bedridden!"
