t. Only a few houses occasionally emit laughter and indistinct chatter.On both sides of the hutongs, the entrances to siheyuan courtyards were adorned with festive lanterns. Walking along the path, on...And she pretended to be close to her, calling her parents "sugar" which made her feel sick.
Fangtang's parents are both warm and hospitable people. Ever since Fangtang broke up with Wang Yuxuan, they didn't know the details and were afraid to ask too much. They only knew that Fangtang wasn't as lively as before. Although she tried her best to hide it in front of them, she often looked troubled and couldn't hide it.
Their hearts ached for their daughter, feeling helpless and unsure what to do. They didn't dare ask too many questions, fearing they might add to her pressure. So when two young men arrived at their doorstep, claiming to be Fangtang's old classmates and invited in by Fangtang herself, the parents warmly welcomed them, hoping that friends could help Fangtang emerge from the shadow of heartbreak.
Fan Tang watched her parents, blindsided and confused, warmly entertain the two debt collectors. Her heart ached, and she looked at them with pleading eyes, begging them to leave.
But the two men ignored her pleas and deliberately chatted with her parents, discussing every detail about her family's finances.
Now debt collectors are much more civilized than they used to be. They start with politeness and then escalate if necessary, so they naturally wouldn't resort to violence right away.
The purpose of Lai Fangtang's visit was twofold: to deliver a final warning and threat, and to assess her financial situation. Recovering the money owed is the priority.
Her parents were both teachers and had a decent retirement salary. They originally had some savings, but her father became seriously ill two years ago, spending most of their savings on his treatment. The remaining savings were then used by her to invest in Wang Yuxuan.
A love affair ruined her life completely, and even implicated her parents. If she really had a time machine to go back, the first thing she would do is scold herself for being so blindly in love with Wang Yu Xuan at the beginning.
"So Tangtang comes from a wealthy, literary family, my apologies for not knowing. " The debt collector intentionally used sarcasm, knowing she worked at the club.
Having achieved their purpose, they didn't linger any longer. With a glance at Fangtang, one of them rose and left.
"Why don't you stay for dinner" Fangtang's mother wanted to persuade her.
"Mom, we have to go first. Tell Dad not to cook for me."
He spoke quickly, then hurried away with the two people.
She was dragged to the black sedan downstairs, and someone inside grabbed her hair and pulled her into the car.
She was panicked but didn't dare resist. The car stopped downstairs, where her parents could see it at any moment.
The man’s hand was still gripping her hair, staring at her pale face. With a forceful yank, he said menacingly: "I already warned you before. If you don't pay, I can only ask your parents for it. You better pay me back willingly, or don't force me to take it from your parents."
The granulated sugar's scalp was being pulled, it hurt terribly, tears streamed down his face: "Please don't look for them, I said I'll pay back the money, I will definitely repay it."
"What are you going to pay me back with Your measly salary It's not even enough for the interest. I showed you the right way..."
His way out was to have her sell herself.
Seeing the sugar cubes remained silent, the man tugged harder at her hair: "From now on, my people will keep an eye on you and your parents until you pay back the money. Don't think about drinking without paying the penalty."
After he was finished, he pushed her out of the car.
For the next few days, these people trailed her everywhere she went. The club was safe as long as she didn't leave; they couldn't get in.
But on the first day, she received a call from her mother, saying that someone had burned paper money at her doorstep and they didn't know whose family had made a mistake.
She was terrified: "Mom, it's not safe outside lately. Please don't go out, you and Dad."
Her mother: "We've lived here for decades, all neighbors. How could it be unsafe"
Parents refuse to listen to advice, they walk every day as they should and dance in the square every day as they should.
Even if they didn't go out, those people would still find trouble to cause.
As expected, the next day I received another call from my mom, “It was a close call today, Dad almost got hit by a car that ran a red light on his way to buy groceries. Luckily, Dad reacted quickly and dodged it.”
While taking the call, Fangtang met the gaze of the person who had been watching her from outside the club, a thin sheen of sweat breaking out on her back.
She knew she couldn't delay any longer.
But where can I find 500,000
For 500,000 she's willing to sell herself How could she possibly hold her head up high for the rest of her life
The manager of the club, walking towards her, saw her frowning and standing there with a worried look. He said impatiently: "It's almost time for work to start, you don't want to do it anymore"
The manager thought Xu ZeFang had been interested in her that night, and she found him annoying, but these past few days, Xu ZeFang hasn't come back to the club. It seems like it was just a fling. She felt better now.
"Mr. Han, are you available to speak now"
"What's up"
"Sugar mustered her courage: 'Could I get some of my wages in advance I promise I'll work hard and pay it back as soon as possible.'"
Their wages include a basic salary, as well as appearance fees and tips. As long as she works hard, she can pay it all back in one or two years.
The manager's voice was cold. "How much"
Advancing salary is common, but many young people disappear after cashing out one or two months' worth of pay, so the manager won't agree easily, especially for someone like Fangtang who just started working not long ago.
Also feeling a bit embarrassed, Fang Tang gave a thumbs up.
"Five months' worth of salary" The manager's voice rose an octave, incredulous.
Fāng Táng felt more guilty, but since she had already spoken, she took a deep breath and said: "500,000."
"500,000 Fangtang, are you crazy, or am I" The manager didn't bother to respond to her. He simply turned and left without giving her another glance. It was a good thing he didn't consider her a fraud.
The last road didn't work either, and Sugar was a little dejected, leaning against the wall.
At that moment, a series of claps mingled with sarcastic voices: "Well done, well done, you managed to fool me."
Fángtáng followed the sound and looked over, only to see Xú Zéfàng appear at some point. He had probably heard everything she just said.
Fāngtáng was speechless. She turned to leave, but Xú Zéfàng took a large step forward and grabbed her collar, yanking her back. He also caught hold of her long hair that was loose around her shoulders. Her scalp had been injured when she had been dragged into a car by her hair a few days ago. Now, as he pulled again, she let out a hiss, tears welling in her eyes from the pain.
But Xu Ze fang was not a man who pitied the weak, and angrily said, "Tell me, what is your relationship with the people outside"
Xu Ze Fang got slapped that night, the imprint was obvious, but his skin was thick and tough. After the imprint disappeared the next day, he went to the Gu family for free meals, warmth, and a sense of belonging for several days, not coming to the club at all.
Tell the people downstairs, over the last two days, a black car has been parked near the club. Two men inside have been making eye contact with Fang Tang, a staff member of the club, from time to time.
This man has a very low moral bottom line. There are countless people around him who cheat, deceive, or fight and kill. He doesn't take a little con artist seriously at all.
But his precious godson, Gu Yujié, was strangely devoted to this con man.
(Remember that you had previously acknowledged him as your godson, not your nephew So let's change that.)g that Gu Ruan Dong wasn't as furious as when he first entered, they hurriedly came over to persuade him."Young Master Gu, we're all on the same side. Don't be angry.""Bao Sang coming out is a joyous...
