C17 Money Owed
Just as she was about to snatch the two large bags from Qiao Xi's hands, she dodged and the tattooed man almost fell to the ground. Following that was laughter. The tattooed man turned angry from embarrassment. "You actually dare to mess with me. See if I'll …"
"Enough, we are here on official business, not here to watch you jump up and down."
Qiao Xi, I heard your child's father is Xu Zimo. What a coincidence, this Xu Zimo owes us money, and I heard you can help him pay it back. Oh, right, you've already helped him pay back part of it, why don't you pay back the money he owes us too.
Qiao Xi said harshly, "Impossible, the money he owes is his own business, it has nothing to do with me. If you want money, just go find him. You're looking for the wrong place, I'll tell you to move aside."
"Hey, woman, you refuse a toast only to be punished, right? It has nothing to do with you. What are you paying him for? Do you even care about the money after your child is born?"
"Number two, why are you talking to Miss Qiao? Whether or not we can get the money depends entirely on Miss Qiao's mood. However, what Miss Qiao said does have nothing to do with her, but with someone else, it's Miss Qiao's son, and you're wrong, it's related to the son of Xu Zimo, Qiao Lele. After all, is the debt paid by the father related to the son? I wonder if Miss Qiao has anything else to say? "
When the sunglasses guy slowly said Xu Zimo's son, Qiao Xi's face instantly lost all color. She wanted to refute that they were his son, but she felt that there was no need.
Qiao Xi forced herself to say to him: "I don't care what you are talking about, the one who owes you money is Xu Zimo, you can't get anything from me here, so it's better to find your creditor and tell you one last thing. My son is called Qiao Lele, his surname is Qiao."
When the two men beside him heard this, they instantly became furious.
"I'm telling you, you have to give it today, even if you don't want to!"
The two of them jostled Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi had no way of fighting back. Not only did she fail to protect herself, she scattered the fruits and vegetables all over the ground in a panic.
Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with anger as she laid on the ground and looked at the dishes and fruits rolling on the floor.
A voice sounded in Qiao Xi's ears.
"What are you all doing, each of you are defying the heavens, robbing a woman in broad daylight, are you all being shameless? What are you all doing, do you still want to do anything to an old woman? Do you believe that I'll call the police to arrest you all, what, you don't believe me?"
As she spoke, the landlady took out her phone.
These people could no longer afford it.
"There's still a long way to go!" They told Qiao Xi this as they left.
Qiao Xi felt as if she was living under the winter sun. Even though she was bathing in the sunlight, she was still trembling.
The landlady asked carefully, "Qiao Xi! "What kind of people are these, how did you end up messing with these people, they won't even let you off at a glance, why don't you go and live in another house, I can't live in a temple here with you, this Bodhisattva, I don't want to see my house in ruins the next time I see it." As he said this, he seemed to be referring to something else.
"Auntie, they have nothing to do with me, and I don't owe them anything either. They found the wrong person, I just moved here and I don't have any more money for a house now, I hope you don't kick me out." Qiao Xi pleaded.
"Aiya, it's not that I don't want you to stay, it's just that you're different from others."
At this point, Qiao Xi no longer wanted to talk. She wanted to save some dignity for herself. He nodded and said softly, "Ok." He thanked the landlord for taking care of him during this period and began to clean up the mess.
The landlord said awkwardly, "I hope you can forgive me. You can stay here for the next few days. I hope you can find a place to stay earlier." He then left silently.
"..."
For the past two days, Qiao Xin had been diligently searching for a house. When she dragged her tired body back home, she found that the debt collectors from two days ago were blocking her door.
Qiao Xi said snappily, "I don't have money. No matter how long you try to stop me here, I still don't have the money to give it to you. If you have the skills, you might as well go to Xu Zimo."
These people were planning to snatch Qiao Xi's bag. Suddenly, he was stopped by a shout.
"Stop!"
After those people heard this, they paused for a moment and looked at each other. They did not know who this man who suddenly appeared was, but they could not show it.
So he said firmly, "Who are you, it has nothing to do with you, this is between us and this. As for matters between women, you better hurry up and leave them alone, don't meddle in them, do you hear me? "
Su Zhenyu sneered: "If it's not related to me, then who is? Scram before I go back on my word."
"Brat, you've got a big mouth. Who cares who goes back on your word and gets lost, it might have something to do with you. Fine then. Return the money she owes and we won't bother her anymore."
The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at Su Zhenyu, who was wearing expensive clothes. His slender eyes revealed his scheming and treachery.
"I said you found the wrong person. You won't get anything here. No matter how many times you block the way here, my answer will always be the same. Do you have any other questions?"
Qiao Xi felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation when she heard that Su Zhenyu was their target.
Even if they were looking for someone to repay the money, Qiao Xi didn't want Su Zhenyu to be involved. She didn't want to be a man that she could rely on to help her, so she quickly stopped them from talking. She just wanted to stop this awkward meeting.
"Yes." When Su Zhenyu heard that they had blocked Qiao Xi's door more than once, he was already a little angry and on the verge of exploding.
When these people felt Su Zhenyu's strong aura, they had already started to back off.
Then he said, "Why do you want me to invite you?"
Hearing this, they all turned to look at their boss. Seeing their boss smile bitterly, they understood that there was no hope today.
"Miss Qiao, I hope you can let me know when you see Mr. Xu. After all, I need to properly settle the debt with him." The man left with his underlings after saying that.
Qiao Xi didn't understand why there was no end between her and Xu Zimo. He had clearly given up on the past and wanted to start a new life, but why was there always someone desperately trying to pull him down and make him feel the pain of the past again and again?
