Chapter 1060: Pushing the limits, seeking death, daughter is born
As soon as Zhou Chen met Huo Ran, he was greeted by a burst of complaints from Huo Ran.
"He Fei, what have you been busy with lately? I've sent you so many messages and made so many calls asking you to come out, but you haven't come even once."
"I don't have time. My wife is about to give birth. At this critical moment, do you think I can leave? The three million you borrowed is a small thing. My goal is all the property. If
Do you think it's worth it for me to have a falling out with my wife because of your three million?"
Zhou Chen looked unhappy: "You know how to ask me for money, have you ever thought about me? What I want is a steady stream of water, not a one-time falling out, do you understand?"
Huo Ran, who was originally very domineering, was stunned by Zhou Chen's words. The anger on his face also disappeared, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"I don't know the situation."
Zhou Chen continued to vent his dissatisfaction: "Don't you know, didn't I tell you last time, we almost divorced because of the 10 million gambling debt, but then she found out she was pregnant, and she gave me
Given a chance, do you think I can perform well?"
Huo Ran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's the truth, but I'm also anxious. I recently went on a blind date with a woman, and we had a very good relationship. We went to see a house together a few days ago, and we fell in love with a three-bedroom house. I
I'm already talking to people, but if I don't have money, I really have no choice."
"Already talked about?"
Zhou Chen looked shocked. This guy was very fast, but according to his understanding, Huo Ran must have been bragging, otherwise the woman wouldn't have been able to talk to him so quickly.
"Which house do you like? Forget it, I won't ask you this. Just tell me how much it costs in total."
Huo Ran said with some embarrassment: "It's a little higher than I expected. The other party quoted 5.8 million."
"Five.8 million?"
Zhou Chen's face darkened. This comparison is really pushing the envelope. Last time, he said he would borrow three million, but now he actually wants to buy a house worth five million.
I borrowed it from him.
Huo Ran smiled honestly and said: "He Fei, this suite is really good. You will definitely like it after seeing it. Oh, no, you probably don't like it now. After all, the apartment you live in now is a few hundred square meters."
Villa, but for me, this house is already the limit. I don’t think three million is a problem for you. Adding more than one million to it will certainly not be a big problem, right?”
Zhou Chen has really made a complete decision now. If this kind of person continues like this, I'm afraid it will be doubled next time.
"Yes, no problem, absolutely no problem. Just follow what I said before, you negotiate the price with the other party first, and then make the move after the year. It will definitely be cheaper."
"I don't think so. Other people's houses are very popular. What if I'm late and someone else robs them?"
Huo Ran was not intimidated by Zhou Chen this time. Instead, he said seriously: "He Fei, please help me this time. I promise you that as long as you help me this time, I will never ask you to borrow money again. Car accident
I will definitely reveal even half of it, and I will delete that memory from now on."
Zhou Chen's face turned gloomy: "Huo Ran, are you threatening me?"
Huo Ran cried out: "How is it possible? We are best friends. How could I threaten you? I am begging you, please do me this favor. As long as you help me buy this house and renovate it."
I promise that we will not owe each other money and we will never see each other again."
Zhou Chen sneered: "Do you think I will believe you?"
Huo Ran saw that Zhou Chen seemed unwilling, and his face darkened: "He Fei, we are best friends. You can't forget about your brother now that you are rich. Without my help, how could you marry Li Muzi? Li Muzi's net worth
There are hundreds of millions, and there is a company and a lot of money. I just want a few million from you, is that not too much at all?"
"A few million is not too much, but this is not the first time I've heard you say this. I can't trust you. Who knows if you will threaten me with the same reason next time after I gave it to you this time."
"He Fei, don't we even have this little trust between us?"
"Ha, Huo Ran, for this reason, let's get straight to the point. I can find a way to get the money for you, but this is the last time. After this time, we will never see or know each other again. If you go
If you find my wife and make it difficult for me, I will never make it easy for you."
Huo Ran, who was threatened by Zhou Chen, looked ugly. Zhou Chen was right. He just regarded Zhou Chen as his long-term meal ticket. Is there any better meal ticket in the world?
But now that Zhou Chen has spoken out, if they cannot reach a consensus, he may not get a penny.
As for going to Li Muzi to file a complaint, that would be a lose-lose situation. Why would he be unlucky then?
Therefore, he would definitely not want to die with Zhou Chen unless it was absolutely necessary.
"He Fei, I can assure you that this is definitely the last time, really the last time."
"I told you, you have a criminal record, I don't believe you."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple, you write me an IOU with legal effect."
"What, you want me to write you an IOU?"
Huo Ran jumped up in shock and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.
Zhou Chen asked very calmly: "I asked you to write an IOU, not because I want you to pay back the money, but as a guarantee. If you use this again to threaten me in the future, I will break up my marriage and leave the house."
If so, I can use an IOU to ask you to pay back the money. At least you will have a guarantee in the future. But if you no longer have that kind of mentality, I guarantee that I will not let you pay back the money. This IOU is just a piece of waste paper and has no effect at all.
No."
"Why, you don't want to? Or am I right? You just want to lie to me? Do you want to keep threatening me with that thing?"
Huo Ran's expression kept changing. He was embarrassed to have his thoughts exposed, but he was unwilling to accept the IOU, so he was now in a dilemma.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhou Chen increased his strength.
"The choice is yours. If you agree, I can give you the money as soon as possible. But if you don't agree, we can only stop here. If you tell my wife the truth, it is not certain whether we will divorce, but you are sure
There is no chance to buy a house in Shanghai."
This sentence was like the straw that broke the camel's back, making Huo Ran completely unbalanced.
It was not his original intention to lose both sides and die together with He Fei. In that case, he would gain nothing.
"Okay, I promise you, I can write an IOU, and you have to promise me that you will never threaten me with an IOU in the future."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "You can rest assured on this point. As long as Li Muzi and I don't divorce, with her net worth, do you think I will care about these millions?"
Huo Ran thought for a while and felt that it made sense. Li Muzi was worth hundreds of millions and had a group company with an annual income of tens of millions, so how could he care about a few million.
"Then I'll write the IOU now. When can you give me the money?"
"There's no rush, let's consult with a lawyer first. As for the money, it should be done within a week."
"Okay, let's go now."
Huo Ran was really anxious and took Zhou Chen to the law firm.
Zhou Chen got the IOU, and Huo Ran left happily.
Zhou Chen didn't care about this IOU. It was just an excuse for him to delay. He never thought about letting Huo Ran go.
A person like Huo Ran has no bottom line at all. No matter how fanciful his words are, he will not believe it.
He didn't take action now, he just wanted to build virtue for Li Muzi's children, it was not because he had a good heart.
Regardless of whether you have faith or not, when your child is about to be born, you should try not to kill any living thing.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Chen was not very happy this week, because his wife had been occupied by Shen Man for a week. This woman could give them husband and wife time during the day, but at night, she had to sleep with Li Muzi.
Li Muzi also doted on Shen Man, and in turn persuaded Zhou Chen, saying that the future is long, just be satisfied first and wait slowly, which made Zhou Chen dumbfounded.
This wife is really so simple and kind, and it can be seen that she really cares about Shen Man, her best friend.
Zhou Chen also transferred four million to Huo Ran on the last deadline. Although Huo Ran wanted five million and he had it, he didn't want Huo Ran to get his wish, so he gave him four million.
That night, Zhou Chen was playing chess with Duke Zhou again, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, and then he heard Shen Man's scream.
"He Fei, open the door quickly. Muzi has a stomachache. Come over and take a look."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he suddenly stood up from the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his slippers, so he rushed over and opened the door. Then he quickly rushed into the master bedroom, ignoring Shen Man at the door.
In the master bedroom, Li Muzi was seen sitting beside the bed, holding his stomach.
"Husband, my stomach hurts, and it comes on and off."
Zhou Chen grabbed Li Muzi's hand and placed the other hand on her belly to observe.
After a moment, he said with a solemn face: "It's a contraction. This is the prelude to delivery. Let's go to the hospital."
"Are you about to give birth? Is it too late to go now? Do you need to call an ambulance?"
Shen Man trembled as she spoke in a panic. When she saw Li Muzi in pain just now, she felt distressed and scared, for fear that something might happen to Li Muzi.
Zhou Chen said: "No need to call an ambulance. Let's drive to the hospital. It's just a prelude now. It's not yet time to give birth. It's enough time to go to the hospital. You hold Muzi here, and I'll get all the things I've prepared." Get to the car."
"Okay, okay, hurry up."
Shen Man is usually very assertive, but when it comes to matters involving Li Muzi, she can't control her mind and only knows how to urge Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen walked out quickly. He had already prepared everything and put it in his suitcase. Now he only needed to bring some important documents with him. Others he could buy could be bought at the hospital.
In the bedroom, Li Muzi endured the pain, held Shen Man's hands, and whispered comfort.
"Manman, I'm fine, don't worry."
Shen Man's eyes were red: "How can it be okay? You see you are sweating from the pain. It's all my fault. It's useless. Muzi, it's all my fault."
Li Muzi consoled him: "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you? How can I blame you? Women have to go through this process when giving birth. I'm really fine."
Although it hurt, she could still bear it. She didn't want to see Shen Man sad and scared.
Before they could say a few words, Zhou Chen walked in again.
"Everything is ready, let's go, Muzi, I'll hold you, Shen Man, I'll put the things at the door, and you can drag your suitcase and backpack to the car later."
"Okay, I'll go get it now."
At this moment, Shen Man was extremely obedient, while Zhou Chen was a relaxed princess and hugged Muzi Li.
Zhou Chen had booked the best luxury private room in the hospital a week ago, so after going to the hospital, he checked in directly.
Zhou Chen had rich experience, and as he had judged, Li Muzi was still in pain after arriving at the hospital, but it was not to the point of giving birth, and he would have to observe and wait for the follow-up.
He stayed in the hospital for another day and night. During this day and night, every once in a while, Li Muzi would hold on to the bedside railing in pain, and would cry out in pain when he couldn't help it.
Zhou Chen and Shen Man both comforted him. Zhou Chen was okay. He knew the principle and understood that this was an essential process.
But Shen Man couldn't do it. Li Muzi would shed tears when the pain was extreme, but she shed several times more tears than Li Muzi. Those who didn't know it thought she was about to give birth to a baby.
Every time she saw Li Muzi in unbearable pain, she would drag Zhou Chen to go to the doctor for a caesarean section, but Li Muzi stopped her every time.
Although Li Muzi is usually aloof and quiet, in fact, she is a very independent woman with great willpower and endurance. When it comes to giving birth, she is calmer and more tolerant than most women.
She had checked the difference between normal delivery and caesarean section, so she would rather endure the pain than get a knife. No matter how advanced the technology is, a knife will have some impact on the body.
After a day and night of pain, it was finally time to give birth. Li Muzi strongly requested that Shen Man accompany her during the delivery. Zhou Chen fulfilled her wish and let Shen Man enter the delivery room to accompany her, while he waited quietly outside the delivery room.
Because Li Muzi had always been taken care of by him during her pregnancy and her nutrition was balanced, the delivery process went very smoothly. She was born less than half an hour after entering the baby, and then there was another period of busy work.
A few hours later, Zhou Chen carefully fed Li Muzi tea in the ward.
After such a long time, although Li Muzi did not stand up, his physical strength has recovered a lot and he can eat and drink water.
Next to them was a mobile crib with a baby. Shen Man was lying on the bed, staring at the baby inside and observing. This process had been going on for a long time.
"It's so amazing. She's so small. Look at her hands, which are just a little bit bigger, and her little feet. She's so cute. But her face is a bit ugly and doesn't look like Muzi at all."
Zhou Chen put down the bowl and retorted: "What do you know? Children are born like this, and they will become prettier in two days. You see her skin is red, which means her skin will be whiter in the future."
Shen Man was in a good mood, so she didn't care at all about Zhou Chen's quarrel with her.
"There is another saying, but the little thing is so fun. I just held her for the injection, and it scared me to death when she cried. Her voice was so high-pitched."
Li Muzi smiled and said: "Maybe children are like this. Manman, you haven't slept much all day and night. There is a bed next to you, so you can take a nap."
Shen Man waved his hand and said, "No, I'm very energetic right now and can't sleep at all. I'll go back to sleep later."
She is indeed very excited now. Li Muzi is safe and sound, and the baby is very interesting. She really doesn't feel like sleeping at all.
"By the way, the baby has been born. Have you picked a name yet?"
