Ning Shuqian is not a stupid person, she is even quite smart.
In the past two years, Zhang Hui has always asked her for money, and she didn't dare to resist. However, this does not prove that Ning Shuqian has no other ideas in her mind.
She quietly transferred part of her property to an account in Country M, deposited some valuable jewelry in a bank safe, and quietly kept some for herself.
However, Zhang Hui owed a huge gambling debt and was forced to pay it back, which nearly cost him his arm, so he tortured and coerced her, threatening her to find a way to get money to pay off his debts, otherwise he would post her photos and videos online.
This made Ning Shuqian very scared.
Now, she has been completely abandoned by [that person]. Wen Haowen has a woman outside and has completely abandoned her. The only thing she can rely on is the title of Madam Wen. She cannot lose this title, otherwise she will really have nothing.
So, she had no choice but to take out money to help Zhang Hui pay off his debts, but even after she took out everyone's money and a large part of her jewelry, it was still not enough to pay off the huge gambling debt.
With no other options, she turned to Xia Ruya for help.
"Aunt Ning, why did you ask me out today? " Xia Ruya was a little impatient.
Now, Ning Shuqian’s value to her is really not high.
It's just that Mr. Z didn't make it clear that he had abandoned Ning Shuqian, so it's not easy to break up with him.
In addition, she wanted to understand and get involved in the entertainment city's projects as quickly as possible, and she needed Ning Shuqian's assistance, so even though she was annoyed with Ning Shuqian, she still kept control of her emotions.
Ning Shuqian looked at Xia Ruya, with a complicated look in her eyes: "Ruya, tell me honestly, has Mr. Z given up on me? Are you returning to China this time to replace me and completely take over the entertainment city project?"
Xia Ruya —
This name has been associated with Xia Ruya since she was taken back to the Wen family.
She held the expensive English white porcelain bowl in an elegant posture, sipping the scented tea in the cup with nobility, her whole body emitting refinement and elegance. Today, Xia Ruya has gotten rid of the embarrassing identity of the Xia family's illegitimate daughter and the burden of the Wen family's adopted daughter. She is no longer the Xia Ruya who fled the capital in a miserable state like a stray dog.
But he is the person that Mr. Z values the most from the Li family in Hong Kong.
She lived a more superior life than when she was in the Wen family.
Looking back at her, she is no longer the noble and elegant Mrs. Wen. Wen Haowen despises her, Mr. Z gives up on her, Zhang Hui keeps pestering her, Ning Yuya keeps falling into endless depravity, and she has become the one in a miserable state.
There was too much resentment in her heart.
Xia Ruya frowned slightly and said, "Aunt Ning, I told you before that as long as you work wholeheartedly for Mr. Z, he will never give up on you. After all, you have been promoting the entertainment city project for many years, and there is still a lot that needs you in this project."
The entertainment city project was about to be completed, and Mr. Z must have a great use for keeping Ning Shuqian, so she had to be patient and comfort her.
Ning Shuqian was a little skeptical: "Ruya, if this is true, why hasn't Mr. Z contacted me for so long? He doesn't ask about the entertainment city project like before?"
Now, she has reached the end of her rope!
But she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that Mr. Z had not completely given up on her.
That's why she asked such questions in front of Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya said softly, "Mr. Z did want me to get involved in the entertainment city project, but think about it carefully. With my status, I simply cannot accept this project. You know better than me how much effort Mr. Z has put into the entertainment city project. Seeing that this project is about to be completed, for the sake of safety, Mr. Z asked me to assist you. My main mission this time back to China is the acquisition plan of TK Group."
Obviously, Ning Shuqian was not easy to fool this time. Xia Ruya's words were half true and half false, but they were also the truth.
Ning Shuqian pleaded, "Ruya, I know Mr. Z thinks highly of you. For the sake of our friendship over the years, please say a few good words for me in front of Mr. Z!"
She thought carefully about Xia Ruya's words and felt that she made sense.
Xia Ruya had never participated in the Wen's Group Entertainment City project and had no chance to get involved.
Xia Ruya looked at Ning Shuqian's old and deformed face, and a trace of disgust flashed across her eyes: "Aunt Ning, don't worry, I still remember that it was because of your help that I had the honor of meeting Mr. Z."
She really wouldn't give up Ning Shuqian easily.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Ning Shuqian hates Wen Xinya!
It is better for Wen Xinya to have one more enemy than one less!
Maybe, Ning Shuqian will be able to play a role in dealing with Wen Xinya in the future.
A glimmer of hope rose in Ning Shuqian's heart. She excitedly held Xia Ruya's hand and said, "Ruya, thank you for helping me like this."
Regardless of whether what Xia Ruya said was true or not, she decided to please Xia Ruya temporarily and not fall out with her.
Xia Ruya patted her hand to comfort her, then unnoticedly pulled out her hand, pretending to accidentally spill a few drops of tea on her hand, took out a slender white silk handkerchief, wiped her hands gently and carefully, and then threw the handkerchief into the trash can.
Ning Shuqian looked at Xia Ruya, her eyes somewhat evasive, and it was difficult to speak: "Ruya, I want to ask you a favor? Can you..."
Zhang Hui pushed her too hard, and she had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
Xia Ruya picked up the teacup, hiding the wetness and coldness in her eyes, the disgust and impatience, and did not respond.
She didn't respond, Ning Shuqian felt even more embarrassed, but she had no choice but to take a deep breath and said, "Ruya, can you lend me some money?" After that, she lowered her head and wiped her tears secretly: "Yuya became addicted to drugs six years ago. I tried every way to help her quit drugs, but she couldn't quit. Over the years, her drug addiction has become more and more serious. She often hangs out in those shady places and often gets into trouble. I..."
Xia Ruya knew about Ning Yuya's affairs. She interrupted her and asked, "How much do you want?"
For Xia Ruya, money is just a number, and lending some money to Ning Shuqian is not a big deal.
However, Ning Shuqian's family is wealthy, and even if Ning Yuya is taking drugs, she would not ask her to borrow money. Moreover, Ning Shuqian is very concerned about her reputation and is not the kind of person who would borrow money from others. There must be something she doesn't know.
Maybe she should investigate Ning Shuqian carefully.
Ning Shuqian was relieved to see her being so straightforward and said, "Five million!"
Xia Ruya immediately took out a check from her bag, filled out a check for six million and handed it to her.
