"Your stepfather, Mr. Zhang Quande, borrowed a loan shark three months ago to speculate in the stock market, and now he has left his family in debt and fled. Do you think... who will the other party look for to collect the debt?" Shangguan Meng deliberately spoke very softly and slowly.

But when the words reached Yu Yan'er's ears, they were like thunder.

"What did you say?" Yu Yan'er opened her lips and tried to take a deep breath, but her throat was inexplicably choked, like a dehydrated fish, helpless.

"This is impossible!" Yu Yan'er shook her head in disbelief. She wanted to say: "How did you know?" She also wanted to say: "It must be a lie." But she didn't say it because she knew that her stepfather would definitely do it.

She had to come out, so she just asked gently and calmly: "How much did he borrow?"

"Seven million." Shangguan Meng seemed to be deliberately teasing Yu Yan'er's fragile nerves. He wanted to see the stubborn face in front of him being crushed.

"Add three months' interest."

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, this number still kept Yu Yaner firmly in place.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

As if to confirm Shangguan Meng's words, Yu Yan'er's cell phone rang at the right time. It was Tong Mengjia calling.

"Yan'er, where are you now? A group of people came to the school to find you, saying that your father owed loan sharks." The phone was connected, but before Yan'er could speak, Tong Mengjia's anxious words came one after another.

"They couldn't find your father, so they came to the school to look for you. Everyone is in the dormitory now, so I lied and called you."

"Your mother and sister were also brought here! What should we do now?"

The phone slipped from my hand.

"What should I do?" Yu Yan'er hesitated, how could she know what to do.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that all the previous changes were just a prelude, and the real blow was waiting for her here.

His mother's pale temples and rough palms appeared before his eyes, and he couldn't imagine how those people would force his mother to take out the money.

Yu Yan'er has never hated her stepfather - that irresponsible man - as much as she does now.

Shangguan Meng felt the coldness of the woman in his arms, and reached out to cover her wide-open eyes. The light in these eyes was dim, as if if he looked at her for a while, the sadness would be conveyed, and he didn't want to look at her anymore.

"Have you thought about it?" Shangguan Meng's words were like a soul-stealing nightmare.

"You don't want your mother and sister to spend the rest of their lives in debt collection."

"Let me go back, my mother was arrested by them." With her sight blocked by the slender fingers, Yu Yan'er simply closed her eyes, but her perception became more sensitive in the darkness.

"Do you think you can save people if you go there?" Shangguan snorted.

"At least I can get my mother back, I can go to work and make money..."

"What can I earn from? Your body?" Thinking of this possibility, Shangguan Ming suddenly became angry, and his words were even more vicious.

"This body of yours is worthless," he said.

A tear slipped down, and Shangguan Meng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

"Please let me go back. My mother is still in their hands. I can't ignore it..." Yu Yan'er couldn't understand why the man in front of her was so persistent and harsh on her. What kind of woman could he want without her?

Shangguan Meng suddenly released his grip on her. Yu Yan'er thought that he was finally letting her go. She breathed a sigh of relief and opened her eyes to see Shangguan Meng walking back to the floor-to-ceiling window.
