Buzz buzz~~ At this moment, the mobile phone that was tightly nestled in Li Yuerong's hand suddenly vibrated, which immediately made Li Yuerong's face, which was not very good to begin with, look even more unnatural.
She stood up, walked aside, and then answered the call... Only Li Yuerong knew the specific content of the conversation, but judging from her pale face, the content of the call was definitely not good news.
When the phone was hung up, Li Yuerong's body was shaky, almost as if she might fall down at any time. That is, she leaned against the wall behind her for support, which kept her from falling.
Just leaning there, tears flowing down unnaturally, it looked so sad... Suddenly, she saw Lan Yue who was drinking with Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei over there, and a trace of pain flashed in Li Yuerong's eyes. Juejue wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked towards Lan Yue.
A mature woman like Lan Yue is indeed not an ordinary person. After chatting with her for a few words, Qin Fang understood that such a woman was indeed capable of standing up in the capital, and it was not just the relationship with Qiao Zhenfei.

However, Qin Fang didn't have any thoughts about her. He just admired her and regarded her as a friend. Just like this, you and I drank wine... When they were drinking happily, Li Yuerong came over, and Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei naturally saw it too. Qiao Zhenfei glared at Qin Fang, but Qin Fang pretended that he didn't see it at all. He just made eye contact with Li Yuerong, smiled kindly, and continued drinking.
"Rong Rong, is something wrong?"
Seeing Li Yuerong coming, Lan Yue was a little strange. This time should be Li Yuerong's performance time, but she noticed that Li Yuerong's face was not very good, so she still asked with concern.
"Sister Lan, can you please take a moment to say a word?"
Li Yuerong did not answer directly, but looked at Qiao Zhenfei and Qin Fang, and then said cautiously.
"good!"
Lan Yue didn't think anything was wrong. She greeted Qin Fang and Qiao Zhenfei and followed Li Yuerong to the side.
"Lan...Sister Lan..."
At this time, Li Yuerong looked quite uneasy, and her originally white face was even more pale now. Even when she was talking to Lan Yue, she looked very nervous.
"Rong Rong, what's wrong?"
Lan Yue has always taken good care of Li Yuerong and the other girls, treating them as if they were her own sisters. Even when Li Yuerong and the others meet some guests who are drunk and want to tease them during their usual performances, they are all Lan Yue. Those who mediate will never let them suffer.
"Sister Lan, can... can you do me a favor?"
Li Yuerong was hesitant, but when she thought of such a trouble, she had to grit her teeth and say to Lan Yue, but her tone made people feel something was wrong.
"Look what you said, you come to work here. When has Sister Lan ever treated you badly? Are you in trouble? Just tell Sister Lan..."
Lan Yue has been in the society for so many years and runs a business like a bar. Her ability to watch people's movements is her ability to eat. She had already guessed it as soon as Li Yuerong appeared in front of her.
"I think... I want to borrow some money from Sister Lan..."
After hesitating again, Li Yuerong spoke out her true purpose in a low voice that almost only she could hear.
"Um?"
Lan Yue was slightly startled, but she didn't expect that what Li Yuerong asked was such a question. "What's wrong? Did something happen at home? How many are needed... tell Sister Lan the number!"
"Five...five hundred thousand!"
Seeing Lan Yue's willingness to help him, Li Yuerong was even more grateful, but despite being grateful, she felt deeply helpless and gritted her teeth and said a number.
"Five million?"
But when this number was revealed, even Lan Yue was shocked.
Lan Yue knew a little about the situation in the families of Li Yuerong and other girls. If we really wanted to calculate it, it might be that the conditions in Li Yuerong's family were relatively weak.
Because in addition to her, a girl, she has an older brother and a younger brother in her family. It seems that her brother is an ordinary worker with an average income. He is in his twenties and has not even dated a partner yet. As for her brother That younger brother was only one year younger than Li Yuerong, but he had dropped out of school a long time ago and was doing nothing on weekdays... Her parents were originally employees of a state-owned enterprise, but later the company's performance was not good, and her mother was the first to buy out and be laid off, and then her father was laid off for Let her son have a job, retire, and let her son take over his own position. The couple will be streamlined... Their daily income will be even less, and her parents will reluctantly set up a breakfast stall to make a lot of money. With a small amount of income, he supports several children.
The five members of the family all live in the newly built unit tube building that was built with funds raised by the factory. The original two-bedroom house has been replaced with three bedrooms, so that at least the whole family can live in it. Even the kitchen has been moved into the corridor. , it can be seen how simple the conditions are.
But even under such conditions, Li Yuerong still studied very hard and was admitted to Beijing Normal University. In order to reduce the burden on her family, she spent almost all her free time besides studying working part-time to make money... That is to say, she knew this Lan Yue would usually take such good care of Li Yuerong, but she didn't expect that Li Yuerong would borrow such a large sum of money from her.
"Sister Lan, I know this is sudden, but... I really need it urgently! I will definitely return it to you. I can write you an IOU now... "
Li Yuerong was at her wits end, her face was full of nervousness and anxiety, especially when Sister Lan had that shocked expression on her face when she heard such a huge figure as five hundred thousand, she almost felt like the sky was falling. ... "Don't worry, money is easy to talk about. What happened?"
Seeing Li Yuerong being so anxious, Lan Yue also knew that something must have happened, otherwise Li Yuerong would never be like this.
Five hundred thousand is indeed a huge amount for Li Yuerong, but it is much easier for Lan Yue. Her bar has a profit of at least three to five hundred thousand every month, and half a million is also a huge amount. It's just a month or two's profit, she can still afford it.
But Lan Yue has been able to get to this point. She is definitely not the kind of fool who can fool her. Before she figures out what happened, it is impossible for her to pay for this money, even if it is Li Yuerong, whom she usually likes very much. Girls can't do it either... Lan Yue has seen a lot of repayment and backstabbing, and there's no way she would borrow money without saying anything.
"this… "
Li Yuerong seemed a little hesitant, but looking at Lan Yue's sincere face, she told Lan Yue everything that happened to her.
In fact, things are very simple. Li Yuerong's younger brother is called Li Jun. He dropped out of school early and went out to work. He usually just follows the so-called boss to collect protection money and bully ordinary people.
This kind of person doesn't have a serious income. When the boss is happy, he will reward him with a thousand or eight hundred yuan, and let him use it to hang out with a bunch of friends. He doesn't say he can't save the money, but he always asks his parents for it. money.
This incident happened to Li Jun. Although this boy is not old, he is quite handsome. You can imagine this by looking at his sister Li Yuerong. It is because of this handsome face that this boy has played He has dozens of times more women than Qin Fang... But what happened this time was caused by him playing with women. He accidentally fell in love with the woman of their local gangster brother, and was accidentally caught and raped in bed. This is terrible. Even if he got rich... The underworld eldest brother was cuckolded. No eldest brother could bear this kind of thing. The eldest brother drowned the woman in a rage. Li Jun originally met the same fate. But a gangster who usually had a good relationship with Li Jun reported that Li Jun had a sister who was as beautiful as a fairy, Li Yuerong... So Li Jun's life was temporarily saved, but the big brother said something, or Li Jun came up with a One million dollars will be paid to him as mental damages, or Li Yuerong will be his mistress... Otherwise, the Li family will never want to see Li Jun again.
Such conditions almost directly drove the Li family to a dead end. Their family's conditions were not good to begin with. The little savings they had were intended for the eldest son's marriage, but even if they spent all of them, it would not be enough to even a fraction of a million. .
The only valuable thing in the family is the house that has been lived in for more than 20 years. Even in today's era of soaring housing prices, that old house is so expensive that it can only be sold for three to four hundred thousand. Borrowing some from relatives and friends, I could scrape together a maximum of 500,000 yuan, which is enough, but the other 500,000 yuan... I would kill their whole family and they wouldn't be able to get it out!
But to let their daughter be the mistress of such a person... The Li family could not accept this fact even more, which is why it made them so uncomfortable.
Originally, the Li family hid this matter from Li Yuerong. I don’t know where the boss got Li Yuerong’s phone number. He actually went to Li Yuerong directly and gave him a deadline - no later than five o’clock tomorrow afternoon. If the money is returned, If the account is not paid, Li Jun's life will be lost... It was because of being forced to this point that Li Yuerong had to ask Lan Yue for help. Among the people she knew, only Lan Yue seemed to have this ability... If Lan Yue If she didn't want to help, she would have no choice but to go back to being the boss's mistress... She couldn't possibly watch her brother die like this.
"That's right... By the way, Rongrong, I remember your hometown is Ninghai City in Jiangnan Province, right?"
After hearing the truth of the matter, Lan Yue couldn't help but sigh, and then her voice changed, and she suddenly asked such a completely unrelated question inexplicably...
