I don’t want any interest now, I will pay you back every penny!”
"Raised him to this age, and still raised a white-eyed wolf, humph."
The next day at noon, the weather was very gloomy and heavy rain was hidden in the continuous dark clouds.
In the tea restaurant downstairs from Li Dian’s house, Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda finally met Li Dian’s mother.
She was dressed quite Western style, wearing pearl earrings, with a broad forehead and a slightly flat nose.
There were fine wrinkles around his triangular eyes, his lips were very thin, and he looked domineering.
He spoke very harshly and started scolding Li Dian right away.
She didn't care at all that this was in a public place and started scolding Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda again.
Li Dian sat beside her, his face extremely pale, his hands on the table clenched tightly, his whole body tense.
"Your name is Lai Yang, right? What's your name?" Li's mother pointed at Yuan Sheng with a fierce look and asked.
"Aru." Yuan Shengda glanced at him.
"What kind of theater are you doing? You also organize performances. Are you professionals? Have you studied acting? Which university did you graduate from? Is there anyone in your family who works in this industry?"
Her voice became louder and louder, causing people around her to look at her sideways.
"Right? You have nothing, but you keep talking about putting on a show? Are you trying to fool yourself? You made our Li Dian mess around with you and squandered all the family money."
"Are you still telling me about the future? Are you kidding me? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice!"
Mother Li rolled her triangular eyes at Lai Yang.
"You have nothing to say? Have you ever taken an acting class? Why do you think you can make a living like this?"
Bang!
Yuan Shengda suddenly slammed the teacup hard on the white plate, startling Lai Yang and looking sideways.
"What's wrong with not having learned it? Auntie, do you play mahjong? You've taken classes, right? Do you have a diploma?"
Hiss~
Is Yuan Shengda crazy
This is Li Dian's mother, how could she...
"Hey, what are you talking about, little girl!"
Li's mother slammed the table and stood up, and the two pearl earrings on her earrings shook violently.
"Alu, right? How come you have no manners at all? What did your parents teach you? Who gave birth to someone like you?"
Bang!
"Enough! Enough! Enough!"
Li Dian slammed his fist on the table, stood up and screamed wildly, his white nails almost digging into the flesh.
The violent quarrel caused the restaurant staff to come forward with gloomy faces and say that if they continued like this, they would have to ask them to leave.
Lai Yang clasped his hands together, apologized, then dragged Yuan Shengda to sit down. He then went forward to comfort Li's mother and dragged Li Dian to sit down.
"Aunt Li, how about this, you let Li Dian stay here, and we will try to pay you back the money you owe family within a year, okay?" Lai Yang said after sitting down.
"Strive for it? Within a year? Hehe..."
Li's mother smiled with all her face but not her heart.
"You are such a young man, how can you earn more than 100,000 yuan a year by doing this? I can sometimes earn more than 10,000 yuan a night playing mahjong. How can you three earn 100,000 yuan a year?"
These words really showed no respect at all and left Lai Yang speechless.
"Well, don't say I'm ruthless. I'll give you a week at most. If you don't return the money, I'll live in your theater and see if you can still perform!"
…
The negotiations completely collapsed.
When Li Dian left for the last time, he didn't even pay attention to his mother and walked away with his body straight.
Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda also returned to the community in dejection. They didn't dare to go to the theater yet, for fear that once the door was opened, Li's mother would come in and cause trouble.
After returning to the room, Yuan Sheng sat on the sofa in Laiyang with a pouty voice.
She put her long legs on the coffee table and crossed her arms in anger.
Her body was like a pufferfish, expanding and shrinking with each breath.
Lai Yang even tried to hold back his laughter.
"What are you looking at? I'm so pissed off, this is the worst thing I've ever seen!"
"Why are you so angry? He scolded Aru for more than ten minutes. What does it have to do with you?"
Lai Yang tore off the plastic film of the cigarette, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but Yuan Shengda snatched it away and threw it hard against the TV wall.
"Stop smoking. Can't you see I'm angry now? Are you trying to suffocate me to death?"
Lai Yang put down the cigarette box and sat aside in silence.
He was in no mood to argue now. After a long while, he turned to look at Yuan Shengda.
"Sheng Da, I still have 70,000 in my hand, what do you think? Should I give it all to his mother?"
Yuan Shengda retracted his legs, crossed them on the sofa, and his expression became a little more serious.
"Give it to her? Then what are you going to do with your monthly online loan?"
"We can't really let his mother sleep in the theater. What I'm most worried about now is Li Dian. I'm afraid he'll do something extreme."
"Suicide? I don't think so."
Lai Yang glanced at Yuan Shengda. "I was talking about the worry that he would quit the theater. What do you think about all day?"
Yuan Shengda’s beautiful eyes were startled and she took a deep breath.
"Yeah, it's possible."
After another period of silence, Yuan Shengda gently kicked Lai Yang with his foot and stared at him with his beautiful eyes.
"Hey, thenHow about I go and ask Aru to borrow money? Ask him to sell the car and bring the money to me?"
"Are you kidding? Why should the Aru people..."
Lai Yang was halfway through her speech when she suddenly turned her head to look at Yuan Shengda. Her pretty face flushed a little, and she lowered her head and used her hands to tuck her hair behind her ears.
"Then I can just date him and cheat him out of his money. What do you think?"
"… "
Lai Yang's gaze fell quietly on Yuan Shengda's face. After staring at her for a while, Yuan Shengda pretended to be angry.
"Have you seen enough? Speak."
Lai Yang lowered his head, took out another cigarette and lit it, but this time Yuan Shengda did not stop him. He just waited for his reply.
"Forget it. It's not yet to the point where I have to sell out my childhood friend." Lai Yang said as he exhaled smoke.
The smoke floated in front of the two of them, and Yuan Shengda had a complicated expression.
Boom!
There were bursts of thunder, followed by a drizzle of rain.
It hit the window, making a tapping sound.
The arrival of this rain seemed to wash away the two people's restless hearts, and the room became quiet and silent.
Only the gurgling rain falls into people's hearts.
After a while, Lai Yang stood up and put on his coat: "I'll go see Li Dian, you stay at home, remember, don't sell yourself!"
Yuan Shengda glared at Lai Yang and said unhappily, "Why don't you sell it to Jingjing and see if she wants it?"
"… "
