When Shen Lin saw Xie Meilan standing at the door, she subconsciously wanted to close the door. Xie Meilan took the first step and held the door open with both hands.
"Sister, is Shen Lei here with you? I want to see him."
"Don't call me sister, I can't bear it." Shen Lin was worried that Xie Meilan's appearance would affect her brother's relationship with Hu Haili.
"Go quickly! Shen Lei is not here with me."
Xie Meilan begged bitterly: "I saw Shen Lei's car downstairs, and I know he is at home. Please let him come out to see me, okay?"
Shen Lin said with a cold face: "I don't think it's necessary to meet! Don't you already have Mr. Lu?"
When Xie Meilan heard this, her eyes darkened for a while.
Na Wei saw that his wife was still waiting to open the door, so he ran over to take a look.
"Honey, who's here?"
When Na Wei saw Xie Meilan, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look back at Wang Gang in the restaurant.
"Go away quickly! We don't welcome you." Shen Lin said harshly.
"Shen Lei, Shen Lei." Xie Meilan shouted into the room.
Wang Gang finally heard Xie Meilan's voice, put down his chopsticks and walked to the door, and everyone else followed.
When Xie Meilan saw Wang Gang appearing, she immediately said excitedly: "Shen Lei, I have something to ask you."
Hu Haili didn't know Xie Meilan, but she could guess it by looking at the other people's faces.
Wang Gang introduced Hu Haili generously: "This is Xie Meilan, my ex-wife."
Hu Haili nodded to Xie Meilan and said, "Hello, my name is Hu Haili, Shen Lei's girlfriend."
Xie Meilan let go of her hand after hearing this.
Wang Gang said to Hu Haili: "I'll send her away, you guys eat first."
Hu Haili said gently: "Why don't you let Ms. Xie come in and have some food together."
"No need, don't let outsiders affect our appetite." Wang Gang said calmly.
Na Wei pulled Shen Lin and motioned for the others to go back to the restaurant to eat first. Wang Gang walked directly outside and talked with Xie Meilan in the corridor.
"You came out very quickly?" Wang Gang mocked Xie Meilan.
"If Lu Jie confesses to all charges, the police will let me go." Xie Meilan lowered her head and played with the corners of her clothes with her fingers.
"Since everything is fine, why did you come to me?" Wang Gang asked.
"Shen Lei, I know you hate me, but I have no choice but to come to you." Xie Meilan said pitifully: "Can you lend me some money?"
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "You will run out of money so soon?"
Xie Meilan said with a grimace: "I don't have a job now and can't even afford the rent. Can you lend me five thousand yuan for an emergency? I'll pay you back when I find a job."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I thought you came to me to plead for Lu Jie, and you have been doing this for a long time to borrow money."
Xie Meilan said with a gloomy face: "I know Lu Jie brought it upon himself, and I don't have the shame to beg you. It's just that I'm really desperate and haven't eaten for a day."
While she was talking, Xie Meilan's stomach growled, and she looked like she was indeed hungry.
Since Lu Jie entered, Xie Meilan was frightened and naturally couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.
Later, after the police investigated and released her, Xie Meilan realized that she had no money and even her credit card had been maxed out.
During the period of living with Lu Jie, the two did not lower their living standards and spent a lot of money on food and clothing. Xie Meilan was always paying the bills.
When Xie Meilan came to her senses, she realized that not only had she used up all her savings, but she also owed a lot of credit card debt.
Because she couldn't pay the rent, she had been kicked out by her landlord. She didn't know where she would stay tonight?
Now that she was at the end of her rope, Xie Meilan first asked people she knew to borrow money, but no one would pay attention to her. She was so hungry that she shamelessly came to Wang Gang to borrow money.
"Shen Lei, we are just a couple, can you help me?" Xie Meilan pulled Wang Gang's arm and begged.
Wang Gang directly shook off Xie Meilan's hand and said, "We have severed our ties long ago, so you'd better find someone else to borrow money!"
Xie Meilan said anxiously: "Shen Lei, are you really so heartless?"
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "You must be the first to be ruthless! I ask myself that I don't owe you anything."
Xie Meilan said excitedly: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation now. You really refused to save me."
Wang Gang said disdainfully: "You ended up in this situation because you were blind and thought you were getting rich. Unfortunately, Lu Jie's money came from a shady source. Sooner or later, he will get in."
Xie Meilan gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, Lu Jie and I would have gone abroad for a long time, and we wouldn't have ended up with nothing now."
"You still haven't changed. You always feel that you are right and others are wrong." Wang Gang said coldly: "Lu Jie is in trouble now because he is greedy. He obviously has a high-paying job, but he always wants to take advantage of it. money.
As for you, you don’t know how much you weigh, and you think you can make a comeback by relying on a man, so you have nothing but your own fault.”
Xie Meilan was so embarrassed by Wang Gang's words that she felt even more angry.
Wang Gang said again: "If I were you, I would leave Beijing as soon as possible. I remember that Lu Jie took out a loan of five million. You must be the guarantor!"
Xie Meilan raised her head in shock.
"If Lu Jie goes in, this debt will fall on you."
Only then did Xie Meilan remember the five million loan.
"But the money has been taken away by the police, why do you still need me to pay the debt?" Xie Meilan said in shock.
"The lending company doesn't care how the money is used." Wang Gang gloated: "Five million is not a small amount. Since the borrower has entered the loan, you, the guarantor, will naturally repay the money. They are not vegetarians."
Xie Meilan was really scared at this time. She knelt down directly in front of Wang Gang and begged: "Shen Lei, I know I was wrong, please help me once!"
Wang Gang didn't care what Xie Meilan said. He just took out a hundred yuan and said, "Looking at the relationship between the couple over the years, I will give you this hundred yuan as a beggar. I hope the people in the finance company can't find you."
Xie Meilan cried and called her ex-husband's name, but Wang Gang resolutely returned to Shen Lin's house. When he opened the door, he found that Shen Lin and the others had been leaning at the door and eavesdropping.
"Ah, I'll go to the kitchen to serve soup." Shen Lin said awkwardly.
"Sister Lin, let me help you." Li Xiaoyue quickly followed.
"I'll get another bottle of wine." Na Wei pretended not to eavesdrop and ran to the wine cabinet.
"Brother, let me help you choose the wine."
Several people dispersed in a hurry, except Hu Haili who stayed at the door and waited for Wang Gang to come in.
"It's okay. Let's continue eating. Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."
Hu Haili could still vaguely hear Xie Meilan's crying, and couldn't help but said, "Do you really not need to worry about her?"
Wang Gang sneered: "She just comes here to pretend to be pitiful, don't worry about her."
Hu Haili said: "I felt that she was crying very sadly."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Don't be deceived by her. After all, Xie Meilan graduated from a prestigious university. How could she be so poor that she couldn't even afford a meal? As long as she lowers her requirements, it's not difficult to find a job to support herself.
What's more, she has so many classmates and colleagues, wouldn't it be easy to just borrow some money for food?"
Hu Haili asked in confusion: "But I don't think she is pretending?"
Wang Gang pulled Hu Haili into the restaurant and said: "She is testing me. If I am soft-hearted, she will push her further. Today she will borrow some money, tomorrow she will ask me to take her in and live in my house, and then she will ask me to help her pay off her debt." "
Hu Haili still didn't believe it.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I know Xie Meilan better than anyone else. Those tricks can't fool me. She will leave after crying for a while."
Sure enough, as Wang Gang expected, Xie Meilan cried for a while outside the door. Seeing that Wang Gang remained indifferent, she took one hundred yuan and left.
