"Really? That's great! Thank you, An An! Thank you so much!" Yu Xiao was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"But... let me tell you first, my dad has a bad temper, so I can't guarantee whether I can lend it to you!"
"Yeah, I know! Talk to him nicely and don't make him angry."
"He's already asleep. I'll talk to him tomorrow morning and call you then."
"Okay, good night!"
"Good night!"
Yu Xiao put down the phone and jumped from the bed to the floor happily. She walked back and forth in the bedroom in her slippers excitedly. She felt that this was not too safe, so she sat back on the bed and found Xiaotong's number and called her again. Xiaotong was also her best friend. The three of them were best friends. Her father had an investment company, but it was smaller than Yu Xiao's, and usually did business that was empty-handed and made money.
Yu Xiao told Xiaotong about her situation in general. Xiaotong readily agreed to help her friend when she heard that she was in trouble. She agreed to call her tomorrow. After the call, Yu Xiao let out a long sigh. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and prayed, hoping that her father's company would be resolved smoothly tomorrow.
After praying, Yu Xiao lay down on the bed, covered herself with a blanket and prepared to sleep. Suddenly, the phone on the bedside rang with a text message. She took it and saw that the number was actually "Dear Husband".
"Damn Kang Shaonan, what do you want to do this time?" Yu Xiao said as he clicked on the message. He opened his eyes wide and saw only eight words.
Wife, don’t be angry, good night!
vomit!
I can't stand it! This person is endless, right? Looking at this simple text message, Yu Xiao's anger rushed straight to her head. She sat up and pressed the call back button directly. The phone was answered quickly. Before Yu Xiao could say anything, Kang Shaonan's voice came from it.
"Wife, you haven't slept yet!"
"Kang Shaonan, what do you want?" Yu Xiao was going crazy. What bad luck had she got into that she met such a persistent old man
"Not much, I just want to say goodnight to you!"
"Hey, why don't you keep your word?" Yu Xiao shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Wife, what mistake have I made again?" Kang Shaonan said innocently.
"Didn't you say that I can do whatever I want after I come back and my life will have nothing to do with you from now on?" Yu Xiao asked angrily.
"Your life has nothing to do with me, but my life has something to do with you!" Kang Shaonan answered with a smile, his tone neither hurried nor slow, but Yu Xiao felt a little annoyed when he heard it.
"You...you, Kang Shaonan, let me tell you, my dad's company can get through this difficult time without your family's help. Just wait!" Yu Xiao didn't want to talk to this sinister man anymore. After saying that, she hung up the phone angrily and sat on the bed, breathing heavily in anger.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The next morning, Yu Xiao went out with her small bag and strolled to the coffee shop on the first floor of Jiashike alone, but after seeing the price of coffee inside, she left with a guilty conscience. There was a row of leisure chairs on the pedestrian street next to her. She walked over and sat down, watching people coming and going on the pedestrian street, but her heart was a little empty. Not knowing how Luo Yi was doing now, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to call him. She accidentally saw that there was a photo of herself and Kang Shaonan on the back of the phone. In the photo, she had a stern face, while Kang Shaonan was smiling so hard that the iceberg was about to melt.
This damn guy!
It must have been secretly stuck on when I wasn't paying attention!
Yu Xiao used her fingernails to pick at the sticker, but it was firmly attached. After trying for a long time, she could only peel off a little. Looking at the dead man on it, Yu Xiao unzipped the bag in frustration, trying to find any sharp objects like nail clippers. This photo had to be taken down no matter what. If Luo Yi saw it, he would definitely be furious!
"Xiaoxiao!" Before he found the nail clippers, he heard his good friend An An's breathless voice coming from behind him. Yu Xiao's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about his own and Kang Shaonan's profile pictures. He immediately stood up from the chair. When he turned around, he saw An An and Xiao Tong running towards him.
"Why did you come together?"
"We just happened to meet over there."
The three of them sat back down on the chairs. Yu Xiao looked at the two of them expectantly. He first grabbed An An's hand and asked nervously, "An An, have you told your dad? How is it?"
Yu Xiao's words made An An's eyes darken suddenly. She pursed her lips, raised her eyelids and looked at Yu Xiao apologetically: "Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry, my dad said that there is a financial crisis now. Let alone borrowing money, it would be good if our company can survive this crisis..."
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, my dad said the same thing. He said that everyone is having a hard time now, no matter if it's a big company or a small company, it's all the same..." Xiaotong said as he unzipped his bag, took out 10,000 yuan and put it in Yu Xiao's hand: "Xiaoxiao, I begged and begged this from my dad, it can't really help, you can use it for emergency."
"Xiaoxiao, this is my ten thousand. I'm really sorry..." An An also took out the money from her bag and put it in Yu Xiao's hand.
Yu Xiao looked at the 20,000 yuan in her hand, and her mouth twitched. Although the money was not much, Yu Xiao had already anticipated such a consequence. Even her father could not reverse the situation, so how could two girls alone do it? Knowing her good friend's feelings for her, she looked at the two people and smiled gratefully: "Thank you! Thank you..."
A friend in need is a friend indeed. She was grateful to her two good friends from the bottom of her heart.
"Xiaoxiao, the more you say this, the more uncomfortable we feel." An An felt a little sorry for her.
"Tsk! You continued to say thank you after I said thank you! You little bitch!" Yu Xiao didn't want her two good friends to feel sad for her, so she patted An An's shoulder and then gave them a mischievous smile.
Yu Xiao's joke immediately swept away the dull atmosphere. The three good friends gathered together to talk and joke like before, and finally the two good friends shifted the topic of the conversation to Kang Shaonan.
"Xiaoxiao, do you have a photo of that uncle? Let's see who he is?" After listening to Yu Xiao's description, the two good friends became more and more curious about Uncle Kang.
"Xiaoxiao, is he that kind of old man with a big belly, a face full of wrinkles, and almost bald hair?" Xiaotong guessed what Uncle Kang looked like. If he was really that kind of person, she would be really disgusted.
"That's not the case. No matter how bad my parents' taste is, they will never let me marry that kind of person." Yu Xiao shook her head, hesitating whether to show them Kang Shaonan and her own profile pictures.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you give him a call and ask him to come out so that the two of us can have a good talk with him, what do you think?" An An's eyes lit up, as if he had come up with a good idea.
"You guys? What did you talk to him about?" Yu Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked back and forth at the faces of his two good friends, not understanding what An An meant.
"Silly boy, of course we should talk to him to let you go, and then... he can even lend money to your family to tide over the difficulties! Ha, what do you think of my idea?" An An said while laughing proudly at his own cleverness.
"Yes! Xiaoxiao, just sit aside and act pitiful. I and An An have two mouths, and I don't believe that we can't be defeated by Uncle Kang!" Xiaotong thought this was a good idea and nodded in support.
"Forget it. How can such a good thing happen? You don't know Kang Shaonan's mouth. He can make a dead person angry again. Besides, he is not just a black-bellied person, he is extremely black-bellied, you know? You two are definitely not capable of doing it!" I have fought with that man before, and his IQ is not at the same level as mine. With just the two of us good friends, I estimate that we will be defeated in just a few rounds, which is not enough to make a fool of ourselves.
"Then let me ask you, at this moment, do you have any other solution?" An An straightened his back and stared at her.
Yu Xiao shook her head with dim eyes and twisted her fingers together. Without money to pay off the debt, she would have no way to escape and could only marry that old man!
Of course, there is another way to go, which is not to marry Kang Shaonan, but my father’s company will go bankrupt!
But that was not the result she wanted to see!
"Since there is no other way, let's give it a try. Xiaoxiao, call him now and ask him to meet at the coffee shop next door. Just ask him and we will take care of the rest!" An An patted Yu Xiao's shoulder and was very confident about negotiating with Kang Shaonan.
"Do you really want to fight?" Yu Xiao was shaken by her good friend's words. She had no choice but to go now. She didn't want to marry Kang Shaonan, but she was worried that her father's company would go bankrupt. She was really conflicted.
"Right away, immediately!" An An snapped his fingers crisply, looking like he was ready to fight.
"Xiaoxiao, go ahead and fight!" Xiaotong also nodded encouragingly.
"Okay!" Yu Xiao made up his mind, took out his cell phone, found Kang Shaonan's number and dialed it.
Kang Shaonan was very confident in his brother Kang Shaobei's ability to handle things, but he didn't expect his brother to handle it so quickly. He was really surprised to receive Yu Xiao's call. It seems that his brother has already handled the matter. The little girl finally figured it out and agreed to marry him, right? Not long after putting down the phone, Kang Shaonan left the house in casual clothes and drove his SUV to Jiashike.
Yu Xiao and her two good friends chose a seat by the window, so they saw Kang Shaonan before he walked in. Seeing this tall, handsome man with strong features and bright eyes approaching, An An and Xiao Tong's eyes widened.
"Fuck, Xiaoxiao, this... this... couldn't it be Uncle Kang?" An An and Xiao Tong stared at Kang Shaonan who was getting closer and closer with incredible eyes, suppressing the urge to pounce on him.
"Yes, it's him!" Yu Xiao gritted his teeth as he looked at Kang Shaonan, completely ignoring the green eyes of his two good friends.
"Dinosaur!" the two good friends blurted out at the same time. (To be continued)
