Xia He didn't go to school because there were guests at home. A middle-aged couple.
The woman is her mother's sister. According to her seniority, she should be called aunt. And the man is naturally her uncle. But Xia He has never liked this well-dressed man with a pair of evil eyes but never settles. He has met many men.
Xia He knew that he was a carefree man. He was also a despicable man with no moral bottom line. In fact, he and Xia He were partners. Although the bar belonged to her and her aunt in name, he paid for it.
. Occasionally when I come to the bar to spend money, I will always be accompanied by some women who look like partners, but are actually not very serious.
She didn't tell the truth because she wasn't sure whether her aunt knew about it. The smart Xia He knew that if her uncle dared to come to the bar, he was naturally not afraid of being exposed. Besides, why should she expose it? It's not like her aunt didn't have an affair with another man.
Secret contact.
After making tea for this pair of elders in name only, Xia He sat across from them with a slightly reserved expression.
She knew that these elders were here to ask questions. Her daughter was bullied, and it was related to her. Parents in normal families would not accept it.
"Aunt——" Before Xia He could finish speaking, a middle-aged woman in a mink coat suddenly threw the tea cup on the coffee table and said coldly: "You still know me as your aunt?"
Xia He smiled bitterly and was speechless.
It was Miao Feifei who took the initiative to find trouble, and it essentially had nothing to do with her. Even if she was bullied by Chu He, it would only be considered as stealing the chicken but losing the rice, right?
"Feifei was bullied like this. As a sister, don't you feel bad at all? Don't you feel guilty at all?" My aunt asked with a cold and stern look. Her words were extreme, as if she wanted to eat Xia He alive to relieve her anger.
Xia He pursed his lips and couldn't answer the question.
She is not a sharp-tongued woman. The only thing she can deal with is a master who is reasonable and will not betray her. Faced with this woman who is both an elder and an unreasonable woman, Xia He can do nothing. He can only
Hang your head and let the other person teach you.
She has no confidence. Not at all.
If it hadn't been for what happened last night, she would still have some hope in her heart. She hoped that Chu He would show up to help her. She hoped that he would make the decision for her. But it was impossible. He could even take away the ring easily. In her own situation.
How could he care and care?
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his lips involuntarily. Xia He straightened the teacup on the coffee table and said softly: "Auntie, let me pour you another cup of tea."
"There's no need for you to be pretentious!" My aunt slapped Xia He's arm away and sneered. "You think your mother is gone and I don't dare to scold you? You think you are my junior, so I don't dare to teach you a lesson? Listen up.
Xia He. You must give me an explanation for this matter! Moreover, you must withdraw your capital from the bar. I disdain to cooperate with a vicious woman like you who has no regard for family ties!"
Divestment?
Xia He's body trembled slightly. She expected that the other party would mention this matter eventually. But she didn't expect it would be so early. She didn't expect it would be at this time.
She raised her head slightly and asked in a slightly low tone: "I apologize to you about Sister Feifei. But the divestment of the bar is my mother's hard work and wish. It is also the guarantee for my survival.
"
"Then I withdraw the capital?" The aunt smiled coldly. There was a hint of viciousness on her face covered with foundation, like a vicious queen, and she said every word. "Can you afford it?"
If you don’t withdraw your capital, then I will.
Obviously, Xia He couldn't afford the price. Furthermore, the woman wouldn't really withdraw her capital. She thought that Xia He had no money, so she gave her a multiple-choice question that seemed to be two, but actually only one choice.
Xia He smiled bitterly. He held the teacup with slightly stiff hands and was speechless.
"Your arm is wet." The middle-aged man in a straight suit smiled slightly and said to his wife, "Go to the bathroom and clean it up."
The woman groaned, picked up the limited edition bag and entered the bathroom.
Snap.
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, his posture was quite elegant, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he said: "Xiao Xia, we are relatives. Although Feifei is not my biological child, I have always regarded her as my own. Now because of you, I let her
Angry and bored. As a father, I always have to do something."
Xia He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
"I understand. You want to keep the family business." The man smiled. "But you are still a college student. Do you want the bar to affect your studies?"
"I can take care of both." Xia He raised his head slightly. "It won't affect study."
"Then have you ever thought about it. If you have a boyfriend in the future, and he is a man with a clean background and a strict family education, can you accept such a job?" The man smiled.
When Xia He heard this, his heart was shocked.
Is this really the case?
Could it be that Director Chu took the ring away just because of his job?
The corners of her eyes were a little moist, and she felt even more chilled.
Without this job, Xia He wouldn't be able to survive today. Let alone create a good family atmosphere for Huo'er. Secondly - losing his job at the bar. How can he live up to his mother's final instructions?
"Uncle, if you must withdraw your capital, I can get a loan from the bank. But if that doesn't work, I'll sell the house and I can always get the money together." Xia He said word by word. It was not very powerful, but he gave
A kind of unquestionable determination.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, but there was a cold flash in his eyes. He said slowly: "Then how will you repay it in the future? Where will you live? Can you really support the bar by yourself?"
How could Xia He not think about these practical problems? But it was absolutely impossible for her to let go.
The man pondered for a moment and said with a pun: "Who do you plan to rely on to be responsible for the security of the bar?"
This has been made clear.
It doesn't matter, no matter how much money you make, someone will blackmail you completely. This is also one of the trump cards of middle-aged men.
"What do you mean, uncle?" Xia He asked.
"Like your aunt said, you only have one choice." The middle-aged man said slowly, puffing out smoke.
"Of course. You can also call the man who helped you before. Why isn't he here?" My aunt came over in a pretentious manner and said in a strange manner. "You've had enough of being played with, dump me?"
No aunt would say such a thing. She said it proved that she was a morally corrupt woman.
Xia He never had respect or affection for such relatives.
"Xia He," the aunt said word by word. "As long as you withdraw your capital, we can cancel all the previous matters. Otherwise, I will make you look good!"
This woman who is determined to retaliate will definitely be able to say what she says and can do it. Xia He has no doubt about this. She stood up slowly, looked at her aunt and said: "You are my elder. You can teach me. You can even tell me how to behave.
But please keep your mouth clean. No matter what, you are still a mother."
When the aunt heard this, she was immediately furious. She slapped her hard, but was blocked by Xia He.
She told Chu He that she had practiced. But he didn't believe it.
"You still dare to block it?" My aunt was furious and turned to her husband. "You still don't come to help!?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly stood up and strode towards the two of them.
Xia He was destined to be unable to defeat this man with a gangster background. But fortunately, this man was more or less proud and did not really hurt Xia He. He just pushed her down and staggered to the ground.
Her knee was broken and blood flowed out. Xia He gritted her teeth, just like she did when her mother passed away. She stubbornly refused to let herself cry. She knew that tears are worthless when there is no one around who can trust and rely on.
. No one cares, and no one will sympathize.
She got up and looked at the middle-aged man without fear.
"Xiaoxia, you know, as long as I am willing, you will have to withdraw your capital if you don't want to." The middle-aged man said angrily.
Xia He smiled contemptuously. He smiled sadly. He smiled despairingly.
The man and woman opposite were the only relatives left in her world. But now, they were taking advantage of the situation and wanted to take everything away from her. She didn't want to cry, so she laughed. She laughed so hard that her heart was broken. She laughed so hard that all her thoughts were lost.
What have you gained after so many years of perseverance?
"Xia He. Just one sentence. Withdraw or not?" the woman said coldly.
"dream!"
Snap!
The middle-aged man kicked the coffee table away and said angrily: "Xia He, don't toast and eat as a fine! Three days. I only need three days, and I can make you withdraw your capital automatically!"
"Unless I die!"
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the door.
"Is anyone there?" A magnetic baritone voice came from outside the door.
Chu He could tell who the voice belonged to. This couple couldn't.
Xia He hesitated for a while and finally chose not to open the door. The man and woman were stunned. They said angrily: "There are guests at home but they don't open the door. Debt collectors?"
Xia He said nothing and planned to go upstairs.
She didn't want to see that person. To be more precise - she didn't have the courage to see that person.
Bang!
The door opened.
Chu He kicked the door open with one kick.
This handsome man who could be called the leading actor in an idol drama strode over. He was chattering and sighing: "Classmate Xiaoxia, why didn't Director Chu open the door after calling for so long? I'm so hungry. Do you have anything to eat here?"
