Han Lingli ignored Si Tong, as if she didn't see her. She instructed the servant to prepare bedtime milk for Qin Siyuan as if no one was around. She also reminded Qin Siyuan to rinse her mouth after drinking the milk before going to bed.

No matter how big or small the matter is, even biological mother and daughter are no different.

Han Lingli watched Qin Siyuan go upstairs with gentle eyes, and only when her figure disappeared did she look at Si Tong's face.

"Come to borrow money from Chen Juan?"

Si Tong looked at her and said nothing.

Han Lingli smiled coldly: "When does she also need money?"

"Doesn't she despise money? Doesn't she look down on my materialism? Isn't she aloof? How could she borrow money from me? Doesn't she think my money is dirty now?"

Si Tong was not clear about the conflict between Han Lingli and her aunt, but he could hear the sarcasm in her words.

"I only need three hundred thousand. I'll write you an IOU and pay you interest based on the bank's fixed interest rate." Si Tong said in a calm tone.

Han Lingli seemed to have heard something funny. "Bank fixed interest rate? Do you think I'm someone who needs that little bit of interest?"

"My uncle is gone, and Yangyang is the only blood of my uncle left in the world. For Yangyang's sake, please help my aunt." Si Tong mentioned his little cousin, hoping that Han Lingli would soften her heart.

But she overestimated Han Lingli's conscience.

"Your uncle? Not to mention that he's dead. Even if he were alive and knelt in front of me and begged me, I wouldn't lend him a penny! If it weren't for him..."

Having said this, Han Lingli suddenly shut up and didn't continue.

She didn't know what she was thinking about, and grief welled up in her eyes, which after a moment turned into intense hatred.

Looking at Si Tong again, Han Lingli's smile was filled with malice: "Why don't I show you a way?"

"Your looks are worth some money. Go to the imperial court and find a rich boss and sell yourself to him. Not to mention 300,000, 3 million is possible."

"..." Si Tong looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, her biological mother.

She knew it wouldn't be easy to borrow money this time, but she didn't expect to hear such disgusting words.

"No wonder my dad doesn't want you!" Si Tong stared at Han Lingli coldly, "You are so, so disgusting!"

"What did you say?" Han Lingli's face suddenly changed, as if she was hit in a sore spot. Her facial features twisted instantly, and she raised her hand and slapped Si Tong's face hard.

Si Tong grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with frost: "People like you are not worthy of being a mother."

After saying that, Si Tong shook off Han Lingli's hand, ignored her rage, and walked straight out of the Qin family villa.

By the end of November, Haicheng was already noticeably cold.

She didn't know when it started raining outside. The north wind was howling, and the cold rain was hitting her face randomly, but she didn't feel cold at all.

At the end of the walk, she started running, using all her strength to run out of the villa area. The discomfort in her stomach became more severe with the movement, but she did not stop.

There was moisture in front of my eyes, and I didn't know if it was rain or tears.

She ran all the way to the bus stop before she stopped and gasped violently.

It was almost eleven o'clock and the last bus had already left. Si Tong sat on the bench, staring at the rain under the street light next to him.

She knew what hurt Han Lingli the most, and in anger she exposed Han Lingli's wounds, making it even more impossible for her to borrow money from her after that.

Si Tong couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Her grandmother had told her not to quarrel with Han Lingli. She should have been more patient and not responded without thinking just because of a few unpleasant words.

I've heard worse things than this.

but.

These words coming from the mouths of loved ones can hurt more than a knife.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Tong was brought back to his senses by the ringing of his cell phone.

When Si Tong took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from his grandmother, his heart sank. He had a bad feeling, so he answered the call and heard his grandmother crying.

"Tongtong, have you gone to see your mother? What did your mother say?"

Si Tong pursed his lips and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Did the debt collector come to embarrass you?"

"Yeah." Grandma sobbed and told her: "They just came and knocked on the door and asked us to pay back the money immediately. If we didn't pay back the money, they would not leave..."

The color drained from Si Tong's face. How could his grandmother, aunt and little cousin, three weak and old women who were powerless, fight against a group of vicious debt collectors?

On the phone, I could faintly hear my little cousin crying in fear.

"Is their leader here?" Si Tong said calmly. The more anxious she became, the calmer her mind became. "Give him the phone and I'll talk to him."

After a while.

"Hello?" A rough male voice came from the phone.

Si Tong's face was tense. "I have two hundred thousand here. Give me your bank card number and I will transfer the money to you now. When you receive the money, write a receipt to my aunt and leave my house immediately."

"Didn't the old woman tell you? We want five hundred thousand!" I thought the other party would stop while they were ahead, but I didn't expect them to refuse to give in.

"I'm very short of money now, even a penny less won't do."

The person who was speaking was called Wang Lei. He used to own more than a dozen large trucks and had transported goods for Li Jianjun's factory. The factory owed him more than 800,000 yuan in freight.

At that time, Chen Juan gave Wang Lei part of the money to buy a house and pay off the debt, and now there is still more than 400,000 yuan left.

Wang Lei's voice was very angry. He had been in debt for a long time and was chased by his creditors every day. He was very angry.

"You must return the money to me tonight. It's Li Jianjun's fault for not paying me back even though he had the money. He insisted on using the money to expand the factory. Now the factory hasn't been expanded, he died first, and his partner has run away with all my money."

Speaking of this, Wang Lei became even more angry.

"If you don't give me half a million dollars with interest tonight, I will sleep here with a few brothers. When the money is transferred to my account, we will leave!"

"Wow...Mom..." Wang Lei said as he banged the table, and the little cousin was so scared that she burst into tears.

Si Tong tightly grasped the phone, his joints turning pale, and his voice was completely cold: "Send the account number to my phone, I'm trying to raise money now, don't scare the child again, otherwise you won't get a penny, do you hear me?"

The other party seemed to have not expected Si Tong to be so tough, and his arrogance subsided a little. Wang Lei softened his tone: "As long as I get the money, I will get out immediately!"

Si Tong got a positive answer and immediately hung up the call.

I took out Zhang Mengling's phone number and dialed it. Zhang Mengling should not have slept yet. She quickly answered the call: "Tongtong, what's wrong?"

Si Tong briefly explained the matter, and Zhang Mengling immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll call my brother now, take a photo of the bank card and send it to me."

After hanging up the phone, Si Tong took a photo of the bank card and sent it to Zhang Mengling. Fortunately, she had planned to transfer the money from Han Lingli to her grandmother immediately, so she brought the card with her.

After sending the message, she did not wait at the bus stop. There were complete living facilities near the villa area. She walked forward for a while and saw a bank.

Walking into the bank's ATM, she planned to transfer the money to the debt collector as soon as it arrived.

……

Zhang Mengling called Zhang Juncheng several times, but he didn't answer. There was no doubt that he was out for a social event and got drunk again.

"It's useless at the critical moment!" Zhang Mengling was extremely anxious. Her mother was away on a long trip with Grandma Yu and could not be relied on at the moment.

After thinking about it, she put on her clothes and planned to go to her eldest brother's company to find him, to wake him up even if she had to splash him.

He rode his electric scooter and rushed out of the house despite the rain outside. As soon as he left the Yu family mansion, a familiar Maybach drove towards him.

Zhang Mengling was delighted and waved immediately. When the car stopped, she took off her helmet and ran over, "Man... uh... Third Uncle, I have something urgent to do. Can you take me to my brother's company?"
