C34 Anne's Help

Due to Gu Qianbei's drunken incident last time, Soong Qingnuan found a message from Anne on her phone when she returned home. She really did leave the country to manage her affairs. She even invited her to meet with him the next time and place.

On this day, Soong Qingnuan, dressed elegantly and simply, took a taxi to the teahouse Anne had booked and prepared to meet her old friend.

She had never thought that Anne would still remember her, and from her return home, she should have heard quite a few rumors about Soong Family. It was rare for her to be willing to meet her, and this warmed her heart.

Five minutes later, a fashionable urban beauty walked in with a bright smile on her face.

"Qingnuan!" I haven't seen you in a long time! "

Her voice was a little loud, causing the surrounding people to look over.

Soong Qingnuan waved back from her seat with an indifferent expression.

It wasn't that there weren't any waves in her heart, but rather that she didn't have too much passion in her heart. The matters at home made her feel extremely pressured. Even this time, she had made time to come over.

Soong Qingnuan hoped that she could borrow the money she needed from Anne. Her house was in a rush, and it was only a few days' worth of time.

She really didn't want to see herself and her brother homeless.

At the thought of this, Soong Qingnuan's heart tightened. She felt an immense pressure pressing down on her shoulders, causing her to be unable to smile.

Anne didn't pay much attention. She was still passionately hugging Anne, who had just returned from abroad, and giving her a light kiss on the cheek.

She placed her bag on the sofa, took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, and handed it to him with a smile.

"Qingnuan, this is a new product designed by my company. Although it's not worth much money, I hope you can accept it."

When Anne was overseas, she majored in jewelry design. She was employed by many companies and was responsible for major parts of the design.

The bracelet in the gift box was her latest design. From the moment she prepared the first draft, she had thought of Soong Qingnuan as the image of an iceberg beauty. She originally wanted to design one for her boyfriend as well, but she had heard bad news along the way.

Therefore, Anne decided not to tell her the history behind this gift, lest it hurt her heart.

After Soong Qingnuan received the gift, she did not have an overly excited reaction. Everything was as calm as a dragonfly brushing against the water surface.

Fortunately, Anne was familiar with her character, so she couldn't help but sigh.

"You're still the same as before, you're still an icy beauty!"

Back in the day, when they were still studying, many boys at school liked Soong Qingnuan very much. Her family was rich and powerful, her figure and face were perfect, and most importantly, her grades were still very good.

However, at that time, Su Chen was worshipped by all the girls in the school, so no one had the guts to provoke him again.

However, I heard that things have changed.

Soong Qingnuan's eyes were a little tired. She lightly pursed her lips and tousled her hair.

"You haven't changed much either."

In her eyes, Anne was one of the few good girls. She simply didn't have any scheming in mind and treated people warmly.

She had just learned to return from abroad and still had her own company. She should have plenty of money.

The issue of lifting money was always extremely awkward. Soong Qingnuan wasn't ready yet, so she continued to talk about her past memories.

Anne finished her coffee and gave her a carefully prepared gift. She tilted her head sweetly and smiled at her.

"All these years, you still don't like to laugh!"

It was unknown whether it was because of the matters at home, but she always looked very tired, and her body seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

After a long while, Soong Qingnuan squeezed her knuckles and told him about her past.

"Anne, actually, there's something I want to see you about this time."

His good friend listened attentively to her family affairs. Realizing that her recent situation was extremely awkward, he silently sighed.

He didn't think that his good friend would become like this when she had just left the country to study.

In Lin Cheng, this complicated city, business matters were too hard to say.

Some became billionaires as soon as they became rich, while others fell from the clouds and never recovered.

As for her good friend's miserable fate, she felt that her help was like a drop in the bucket.

Soong Qingnuan swallowed her saliva. Like a proud swan who had just received a blow, she suddenly couldn't even raise her head.

"Anne, I can't find anyone to help me anymore, and the house is about to change hands. Can you lend me three million?"

She didn't know how many times she had said those words, but this time, she felt an unprecedented unease.

After a moment of silence, Anne nodded and revealed a bright smile.

"Sure, of course!"

As she spoke, she took out the check from her bag and wrote a number for her.

Soong Qingnuan didn't expect to be able to borrow money so easily. She thought that Anne would use all sorts of reasons to evade like the others before, but this time, it was so simple that she couldn't believe it.

"Are you sure three million is enough? If it's not enough, I'll change the number again. "

Anne tore off the cheque and handed it to her, but she never reached out to take it.

Weird, Anne said with a frown as she looked at her in surprise.

"Take it. What's the matter?"

"Tell me the truth, why would you agree to lend it to me?"

Soong Qingnuan gently withdrew her hands and placed them on her legs.

She calmly looked at her good friend, feeling that there was a huge secret behind all of this.

Anne placed the cheque on the table. Her tone was a bit cold, even her words were a bit dry.

"Qingnuan, I don't understand what you mean."

She didn't understand, but Soong Qingnuan did.

"I've talked to a lot of people, but they all have their reasons, so I... I don't dare to believe it. "

After being rejected so many times, it is easy to misunderstand the intentions of others.

She even felt that the three million was not something she had borrowed, but something she wanted to make a deal with.

"I always felt that someone was plotting all this behind the scenes."

Anne thought for a moment and asked her the most important question.

"Then who do you think is behind this rejection?"

Her generosity towards her friend was purely out of friendship, but what she understood was that Soong Qingnuan's heart was riddled with wounds and she didn't even have the most basic of trust between people.

This was a very dangerous signal, and Anne's heart ached for it.

Facing her question, Soong Qingnuan pinched the spoon with her white fingers and stirred the coffee again.

Her heart was clear on this matter.

When he had first spoken to Uncle Li, he had told him that there was someone behind everyone's back who was pressuring them not to lend a helping hand to the Soong Family. He also mentioned to a lot of people that they were afraid to avoid it, as if they were trying to escape from someone.

She didn't know what kind of person Soong Family had offended before, but to be able to watch their Soong Family drop right in front of their eyes meant that they must hold a very deep hatred towards them.

"I should be able to guess a thing or two."
