C1 Kneel down and Beg Him

The torrential rain poured down.

Jiang Yun's hand trembled as he held a notice of death and his face turned pale.

After hesitating for a few minutes, she finally dialed the number.

"Hello? "Shen Mo."

The voice of the man on the other end of the phone was ice-cold and somewhat mocking.

"Miss Jiang, what are you looking for me for?"

"I want to ask you a favor."

Jiang Qi said softly, and exhaustion could be heard in his tone.

Slightly choked, he continued, "Can you, lend me a million …"

"Hmph, what, you also have a time when you lack money?"

From the other side came his mocking, scornful sneer.

Jiang Qi remained silent.

"Why should I lend it to you?"

Shen Mo questioned her when she no longer spoke.

She was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what to say.

They once loved each other, but for the sake of Feng Lan, she rejected him. That time, she was a stranger.

There was a long silence.

Before Jiang Qi could react, Shen Mo hung up the phone.

Jiang Yun lightly pursed his lips as he narrowed his eyes, lowering his head to look at the notification of danger.

She didn't have much time left, but for the sake of Feng Lan, she had to raise some money.

Right now, the only hope rested with Shen Mo.

She had to find him.

Jiang quickly ran to the side of the road with her high heels. She stopped a taxi and took out a crumpled ten-dollar bill from her purse after a long time.

"Master, please hurry. Let's go to the Celestial Lake Garden."

— —

Along the way, she felt uneasy.

When she approached the Rich District again, she didn't know how to feel about it.

Earlier, she didn't have the title of young miss Jiang, but now, everything had changed.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes and rested on the carriage.

In the blink of an eye.

The sky gradually darkened.

"Let me in!"

Jiang Qi didn't know how many times he had said those words. He stood at the entrance of Shen Mo's villa, but someone stopped him, preventing him from taking even half a step closer.

"Young lady, our husband has said that he does not wish to see you."

The tall bodyguard stood straight in front of her, repeating the same sentence.

"Please, I must see him today."

If he couldn't take out the money for Jiang Qi's humble plea, then Feng Lan … He was going to die!

The bodyguard felt sorry for her, so he went in to report again.

This time, his eyes hinted, he leaned against the door.

"Miss, sir has invited you in."

Jiang Yun heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly strode into the villa. The decorations here were luxurious, and it was completely different from the style he had a few years ago.

She did not have the heart to admire it and only wanted to hurry up and see Shen Mo.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Mo sat arrogantly on a chair, looking coldly at her.

"Shen Mo, I beg of you, I really need this money. I promise that I will pay it back as soon as possible."

Jiang Qi stood in front of him, begging carefully like a beggar.

"You came to beg me humbly to treat that man's illness?"

There was no expression on his face. His cold tone carried a trace of disgust. His cold gaze fell on Jiang Chen, piercing into her heart like a sharp sword.

Jiang Yue bit her lower lip and didn't explain.

"If you hadn't rejected me back then, perhaps I would have considered it."

Shen Mo continued speaking, as if he was enjoying the feeling of Jiang Chuan tormenting herself in front of him.

Jiang Qi was taken aback, and his countenance paled. He lowered his gaze, not daring to look at Shen Mo.

The cold words stabbed into her heart as memories came to her mind.

Back then, he was still a poor kid. After Jiang Qi refused Shen Mo's confession, he had disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Qi had searched for him for three years, but eventually gave up.

Then he came back, overnight, the SY group suddenly appeared, he became the city's most powerful man, unrivaled.

She lowered her head, her thin lips stained with blood. Her words were like a boulder as she opened her mouth with great difficulty. "Lend me a million yuan. I'm willing to do anything you want me to do."

Jiang Qi was well aware of his own position. She had never been the real young lady of the Jiang Clan.

The only daughter of the Jiang Clan was her sister, Jiang You.

After being chased out of her home by Jiang You and her daughter, she could no longer rely on the Jiang Clan.

Only Shen Mo can help her.

Shen Mo was her last sliver of hope.

"Alright."

Her deep eyes gazed at her, and her bony fingers brushed Jiang's jaw.

"Kneel at the door for three days. I will transfer one million to your account."

"Alright, I'll kneel."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Qi immediately agreed.

A few minutes later.

In front of the villa.

With a "pa" sound, Jiang Yan fell to the ground with her knees and lowered her head, not saying a single word.

The weather was unpredictable. Within a few minutes, a strong wind blew, and a torrential rain suddenly fell from the sky. The cold rain fell on her body, wetting her clothes. In the darkness, her weak body trembled violently.

Jiang Qi subconsciously clutched his stomach.

Shen Mo stood by the window, coldly looking at her slender figure kneeling by the door.

"Teacher, if Miss Jiang continues like this, I'm afraid she will..."

The elderly butler at his side finally could not bear it any longer and opened his mouth to admonish him.

"Don't worry about her."

Shen Mo's gaze turned ice-cold and he turned around to leave.

The butler cast a helpless glance at Jiang Qi, sighed, and then left with them.

Jiang Qi knelt on the ground. His knees were swollen and red, and there was no expression on her face. Her face was even paler than before, without the slightest hint of blood.

Her eyes were fixed on the door, as if expecting something.

Vaguely, Jiang Qi saw a familiar figure through the window.

It was a woman.

Her heart suddenly hurt, and she opened her eyes wide as she looked closely at the figure.

Such a familiar face, it was Jiang You …

Jiang Qi smiled bitterly. As expected, those rumors were true.

Previously, when she was busy with Feng Lan's matters, she was not in the mood to pay attention to these news. Or rather, she did not have the guts to pay attention to his matters.

Suddenly, his body began to heat up. Jiang Qi felt a bit dizzy, and even his body began to sway.

Her mind was in a state of chaos, unable to think. She only felt that her limbs were very heavy.

Jiang Yun's vision turned dark and he collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.

"Mister, it's bad. Miss Jiang fainted."

The butler rushed over.

Shen Mo rushed into the rain and stopped beside Jiang Qi.

After pausing for a few seconds, he turned his back and said with a cold gaze, "Take her to the hospital."

"… …"

When Jiang Qi woke up again, he was lying on his sickbed, the air filled with the smell of disinfectant.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her head still heavy as she tried her best to recall what had happened last night.

She had a fever and was taken to the hospital.

A trace of confidence appeared in Jiang Qi's heart as the corners of his lips curled upwards. His heart was filled with joy. Sure enough, Shen Mo hadn't forgotten about her.

Jiang Yun believed that one day, she would explain everything that had happened back then to Shen Mo.

She gently caressed her belly and slowly picked up the phone to put it by her ear.

After a long time, Shen Mo finally answered the phone.

"If it's a matter of money, then there's no need to look for me."

he said coldly.

"No, I'm not." Jiang Qi forced out a smile. "Shen Mo, thank you for sending me to the hospital."
