Without anywhere to express her anger, Yue Lingsi just berated Shen Wenna for a long while. Her hatred towards Shen Wenna and Xi Xiaye grew.
The amount of resentment she harbored was extremely deep. Many people were involved in their conflict as well. Furthermore, the rift between them grew larger by day in the past two decades, so who could be the judge in their case?
Yue Lingsi always felt that she was the victim. She had been protecting their relationship for almost 40 years, and she thought Xi Mushan’s cold heart should have been melted by now.
She staggered as she held onto a lamp pole. The faint light from above created a tiny shadow of hers. At that moment, Yue Lingsi felt that she was so helpless and small.
A sense of sadness flooded her heart.
“Xi Mushan, Shen Wenna! You two betrayed me. I’ll never let you guys be together like this! Go to hell!”
She suddenly went mad and started kicking a trash can nearby. The way she behaved was like a maniac who had lost her reasoning.
“Xi Xiaye, you little witch, I’ll make sure you have a lot of reasons to cry in the future! Just wait and see! Ah—!”
Her shriek broke the silence of the night, making the empty streets frighteningly creepy. If it were not for the random cars passing by and the moon in the sky, Yue Lingsi would probably be freaked out as well.
She calmed down moments later. She looked around and flag herself a taxi, but it was 11 p.m., and she was in the outskirts right now. How could she find a taxi like this?
She did not see any taxis around and started cursing Xi Xiaye again before continue walking forward. After she took a few steps, suddenly—
Screech!
A strong wind approached her from behind before she heard the loud squeal of car brakes. It was so loud that it almost busted her eardrums. In terror, she quickly moved aside. Even before she could see the person’s face, she already started yelling, “Damn it! Do you know how to drive?! Can’t you see there’s someone here?”
Moments later, she looked at the car before her and saw the person inside. Her expression changed instantly and she wanted to run away. However, the person in the car was much quicker. The sound of the door opening was followed by the patter of footsteps right after!
Yue Lingsi saw two dark figures whiz past from the side. Suddenly, they were right in front of her, blocking her path!
“Where are you going, Madam Yue?”
She could barely see their faces under the dim light from the street lamps around. They were two thugs wearing flowery shirts and ferocious expressions as they crossed their arms and flashed cold smiles.
The one talking was a man wearing a suit standing behind her. He wore a pair of sunglasses and had a deep wound across his face that invoked fear.
Yue Lingsi shivered uncontrollably as panic filled her eyes. Moments later, she managed to suppress her emotions and force a smile on her face as she turned towards the man. “You guys… Why are you guys here? What a coincidence!”
“Really? I’ve been looking for you for days. I waited here just for you after finding out that you’d be here. Really a coincidence, huh?” The man snorted.
“This… I…” Yue Lingsi stuttered, unable to even form a proper sentence!
She was very familiar with these people!
They were debt collectors!
She had several million of debts. Adding the interest, it should be over $10 million now!
Where could she get this amount of money?
Had it been before, $10 million was not an issue at all, but ever since the Xi family had fallen and Yueying got into trouble, a part of Yue Lingsi’s assets was used to fill the financial void. After that, she got addicted to gambling. Not only did she lose all her money in the short span of a few months, but now she also needed to pay $10 million back!
She did not even have a million dollars right now!
She promised to return the money in ten days, thinking that she could get it from either Xi Xinyi or Han Yifeng, but she could not even meet Han Yifeng. Every time she arrived at the Han Corporation and wanted to see him, they reply she got was always “CEO isn’t here” or “CEO has gone abroad”.
It was even worse when she went to look for Xi Xinyi. Instantly, she was reminded about the scene at the hospital the other day!
Xi Xinyi had changed to become cruel and cold. She had been her support back when she was still the Deputy CEO of Yueying, but now that she became useless, Xi Xinyi was going to abandon her!
She was her mother after all. How could she be so cruel? Yue Lingsi had worked so hard for her sake, yet…
Bile rose in her throat.
Xi Xinyi was present as well when the debt collectors went to their house, but she did not really care after she chased them away. Yue Lingsi was going to ask Xi Xinyi to help out on this, but she gave up after seeing Xi Xinyi’s cold attitude towards her.
She could not do anything else but hide. Although she was afraid the debt collectors might find her, she could not avoid them forever and was still caught in the end.
“Madam Yue, it’s been three days since the promised date. Where’s the money? Our boss is very generous with you. You can’t take advantage of him like this!” the man spoke coldly as he walked towards her.
Her expression changed as she backed off slowly while her face was filled with fear as she looked at the man with unease in her eyes. Her voice started to tremble. “No… I… I’m getting money right now. Can you ask your boss to give me a few more days?”
