In the room, Xia Yucheng, who was lying down, opened her stinging eyes. Under the dim light, crystal tears shone in the corners of her eyes.
…
"Zhu Huan," Feng Hao came downstairs and ordered, "Get ready to go, I want to go to Nassau!"
"I understand! Sir!" Zhu Huan responded respectfully, and then said, "Sir, Caritas... is still kneeling outside!"
Feng Hao frowned slightly but said nothing. He turned his head and saw Tong Leya sitting on the sofa.
Their eyes met, Tong Leya quickly stood up and saluted: "Mr. Feng, hello! I am Tong Leya, I am... here to be a surrogate mother!"
Feng Hao looked away and said to Zhu Huan: "Take her with you!"
After saying that, he strode outside the house.
Although the sky had darkened, it was not completely dark yet. Feng Hao saw Ming Ai kneeling on the gravel road at a glance.
"Sir..." Caritas tremblingly lowered her head and saluted.
She is an old man of the Feng family, how could she not know the consequences of today's actions? She knew very well in her heart that she could still kneel here only because Feng Hao doted on Xia Yucheng.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Mrs. Feng asked Xia Yucheng to bear the blame was precisely for this reason. Caritas felt full of guilt for that docile and well-behaved girl.
"Take good care of Miss Xia!" Feng Hao said a cold word and left.
"I will definitely take good care of Miss Xia, thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Ming Ai kept kneeling until Feng Hao's back disappeared from her sight, then she slowly stood up.
Because I had been kneeling for a long time, my legs became weak and I almost fell down.
…
In the bedroom, Xia Yucheng, who had been in trance with tears in her eyes, was awakened by the sound of a cell phone ringing.
She moved her body, her whole body was sore and weak, as if she was falling apart, and she had no strength. The bell rang for a while, then stopped. Only two seconds later, it rang again.
She struggled to reach the cell phone on the bedside table. She remembered that her mother would call now.
Sure enough, the call was from Jian Yuwei.
"Mom, what's the matter? Are you okay?" Xia Yucheng's voice was obviously hoarse.
"Chengcheng, when will you come back?" Jian Yuwei on the other end sounded anxious.
Xia Yucheng's heart suddenly sank. Go back? Maybe this angry man will lock her on the island for the rest of his life.
"Is something wrong? The schedule... was not arranged by me..." She tried her best to calm down her tone.
"I need money, Chengcheng, do you have any money there?"
"Money? How much?"
"Twenty million?"
"Twenty million? So much? Mom, did something happen?"
"Of course I came to you when something happened. Really, you have been with Feng Hao for some time, why are you still so petty? Is twenty million a lot? To Feng Hao, that's a drop in the bucket!" Jian Yuwei said in a tone of voice
Clearly displeased.
"But..." Xia Yucheng didn't know what to say. When it came to money, she didn't seem to have taken the initiative to ask Feng Hao for it. In this situation, it was even more impossible for her to ask for it.
.
"But what? By the way, don't tell your brother about this. You also know that he is stubborn. In order to return the house money to Feng Hao, the family really has no money. In fact..." Jian Yuwei paused and said,
"Chengcheng, help mom! I really need this money!"
"What did you use that much money for?" Xia Yucheng asked.
