The truth was just as Shi Xingcan had guessed. Qu Family who had lost his Crooked Father was already on the verge of collapse.
It was less than a month since the death of Crooked Father.
Shi Xingcan who had gotten the news could only sigh at the sky outside the window. Qu Family no longer had anything to do with her.
"Mommy! Look! " Xiao Baozi happily walked to his side holding his mobile phone and picture book, "Jiang Xiaopang's little brother is born! I drew a picture of him! "
Shi Xingcan took over the thick picture book. Last month, Qin Yanmo registered with him as a painter, so Xiao Baozi's painting skills were no longer as frightening as before.
At least now he could see that he was drawing a man.
"Auntie Li! Come and see my brother! " Jiang Xiaopang shouted excitedly.
He and Xiao Baozi would video chat everyday, and gradually, they became familiar with each other.
When Jiang Xiaopang's mother's baby was born, he and Xiao Baozi could only look at her stomach in anticipation.
"Jiang Anxiang, wake your brother up, be careful or I'll beat you up!" Little Fatty's father's voice came from the room next door, it wasn't very clear.
"Your voice is clearly louder than mine!" Jiang Xiaopang retorted unhappily.
Shi Xingcan did not know whether to laugh or cry, and reminded her: "Little Fatty, I got the reverse number on my phone."
I only saw your big round face. I didn't see your brother.
Jiang Xiaopang stared at his phone for more than ten seconds, before he exclaimed in realization.
Then, a small wrinkled pink child appeared in Shi Xingcan's line of sight.
Xiao Baozi curiously opened his eyes wide, and asked Shi Xingcan in a small voice: "Why is he so ugly? Little Flower's sisters are all very cute. "
Shi Xingcan rubbed his head and said smilingly: "All children are like this when they are born. In the future, they will be as cute as Little Flower's little sister."
Xiao Baozi nodded as if he understood something. Then, he heard Jiang Xiaopang's extremely arrogant voice: "Is he very ugly? My mother always said I was cuter than he was! "
Shi Xingcan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"When he is cuter than me, I will already have grown up. At that time, being handsome will be my standard." Jiang Xiaopang reasoned.
Xiao Baozi moved closer to the screen and asked Jiang Xiaopang: "Is little brother fun?"
Just as Shi Xingcan wanted to explain that her brother wasn't someone to play with, Jiang Xiaopang said excitedly: "It's fun! I poke him in the stomach and he cries! "
"Jiang Xiaopang! You are not allowed to poke your little brother in the stomach! "
Jiang Xiaopang curled his lips, and said in a small voice: "I'll poke it out for you to see next time."
Xiao Baozi opened his eyes wide and looked at the crumpled up child on the screen: "Does he smell it?"
"It's salty and smelly!" Jiang Xiaopang looked at his with disdain, and muttered, "It's like I just fished out of a pigsty."
"Jiang Xiaopang!"
"The smell of the sea!" Jiang Xiaopang immediately explained.
Shi Xingcan laughed, thinking that it would be great if her own child could be as cute as Jiang Xiaopang in the future.
Following the violent trembling of the image, Shi Xingcan saw Jiang Xiaopang's round face and his sharp cry of a baby.
"Jiang Anxiang!" Did you drop your cell phone in the crib again! "
"No!" Jiang Xiaopang immediately denied it and tiptoed to take out his phone. However, his hands were weak, and after a long while, he could only touch the baby's face.
Shi Xingcan hugged Xiao Baozi and watched Jiang Xiaopang's hands shake uncontrollably with a face full of black lines.
Following the sound of his father cursing as he opened the door, the video was cut off.
Shi Xingcan did not know whether to laugh or cry, and asked: "Will Little Fatty be beaten up?"
"Nope." Xiao Baozi shook his head, "He said that he only knows how to take scoldings and not get beaten up."
Shi Xingcan used her hands to prop herself up, looked at the sky, touched the sparkling diamond ring on her finger and muttered: "Why isn't your father back yet?"
Qin Yanmo had been very busy recently. Although the Qu Family had gone bankrupt, the company he was working with was extremely popular. Under the operation of the Crooked Father, the company had a complete economic chain.
Qin Yanmo had previously acquired a large amount of retail shares in the Qu Family, and it was a good opportunity to take over the Qu Family. Otherwise, after the Qu Family was declared bankrupt, he would have to participate in the court auction to buy the company that owned the Qu Family.
The things in the court are not cheap.
What was even more anxious was kohlrabi fructus. Crooked Father had struggled for a lifetime for the company, no matter how foolish she was, he did not lose sight of this big picture.
Unfortunately, she had borrowed all her relatives and friends, but none of them were willing to help her. The 'little sisters' from before, who had come to suppress Shi Xingcan, either didn't accept her call on purpose, or just directly said that they had no money.
"Second Sister, as long as you are willing to lend me money, I can guarantee that I will pay you back twice the amount next year!" kohlrabi fructus shouted anxiously into the phone. She and Crooked Father's life's work was about to fall into someone else's hands.
"Sister, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, it's just that my family really can't afford to lend it to you."
kohlrabi fructus wiped the tears off her eyes and said with a trembling voice: "Second sister, tell me the truth, why are you unwilling to lend me the money?"
Hearing the decisiveness in her words, Qu Zhong's Second Aunt carefully advised: "Sister, don't do anything stupid."
"I won't do anything stupid. Just be straightforward. No one else has lent me any money. I won't just hate you."
Qu Zhong's Second Aunt hesitated and said: "If your Old Qu is still here, borrowing money shouldn't be a problem, but once he leaves … How dare we give the money to Qu Zhong? "
"You don't believe Little Zhong?" kohlrabi fructus frowned, anger and disbelief in her eyes: "My family's Little Zhong graduated from a famous university!"
"This... The main reason is not because of your family, but because... Han Yue. "
did not have a good temper when this name was mentioned. He rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "That vixen has nothing to do with our Qu Family anymore. She gave birth to a grandson and even gave him away!"
"So, it's not that we don't want to lend you the money, but it's because Han Yue really isn't a good wife." Qu Zhong's Second Aunt reminded him, "You have to watch out for the last of Qu Family's wealth, as who knows if she'll take the money and run in the blink of an eye."
kohlrabi fructus's heart was filled with thoughts of how to redeem Qu Family's company, she did not take her words to heart at all.
If he couldn't borrow money from his own family, he could only borrow money from others.
The first thing kohlrabi fructus thought of was time home.
In any case, he had been a relative for so many years, and furthermore, he didn't know why Qin Yanmo had been so mad recently. Even though Shi Mengxi had put on such a huge green hat for him, he didn't react at all.
"Family." After the call connected, kohlrabi fructus asked humbly, "How's business recently?"
Shi Jun coldly snorted from the bottom of his heart with disdain, and still politely said on the surface: "Not good at all."
kohlrabi fructus was at a loss for words. Since he had already said so, how could she continue to talk about it, but she continued to speak with a straight face: "No matter how bad it is, it's better than Qu Family. Can you lend me some money first?"
"Home, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you, it's just that I really can't transfer the funds of the time home." Shi Jun said in a helpless tone, "You should also know how big of a disaster Shi Mengxi has caused previously. I have already invested a lot to settle this matter."
kohlrabi fructus was slightly startled, her tone carried a slight ridicule: "How did I hear about it, you don't intend to bother about Shi Mengxi at all?"
Since Shi Jun had been exposed, he had lost the desire to disguise himself, and coldly snorted: "Madame Qu is in the mood to think about how to hug Qu Family's old dwelling!"
He then hung up the phone and instructed the secretary impatiently, "Don't get all these messy calls in from now on!"
The secretary outside answered.
Shi Jun scratched his head in annoyance. His previous secretary had gone back to her old home to marry someone, but this new secretary was no use other than being good-looking. Sooner or later, he would have to find an opportunity to fire her.
He could only blame himself for not personally attending the recruitment event and letting those high level perverts recruit such a thing.
kohlrabi fructus, who could not borrow money, was already crying from anxiety.
A creaking sound came from the door as Qu Zhong appeared at the door dejectedly.
kohlrabi fructus immediately wiped her tears away and asked: "How is it?"
Qu Zhong's eyes had already turned blue, and he looked haggard and lifeless. He helplessly shook his head: "No Partner is willing to continue cooperating."
kohlrabi fructus suddenly held her chest and squatted on the ground.
"Mom!" Are you alright? " Qu Zhong was shocked, he screamed and squatted down to help the kohlrabi fructus.
kohlrabi fructus waved his hand. Qu Family no longer had any extra money left, even if she was sick she had to carry it!
Han Yue slowly walked down from the stairs while wearing a silk dressing gown, she raised her chin and looked at kohlrabi fructus with disdain, then snorted coldly: "Mom, lower your voice, you scared the child in my stomach, what should I do?"
kohlrabi fructus was currently anxious and didn't have time to argue with her.
Qu Zhong just stared at her warily, supporting kohlrabi fructus as he sat on the sofa, he carefully asked: "Mom, how about we just declare bankruptcy and forget about it?"
kohlrabi fructus shook her head. "No, that's your father's life's work, no matter what you say, don't let it go!"
Han Yue poured a cup of milk for herself, raised her head, and returned to her bedroom.
Originally, she thought that once Shi Xingcan left, she would be able to live the life of a Young Mistress. In the end, all that was left of Qu Family was just a shell, the last bit of her wealth was taken away by that old cunning fox, Shi Jun.
Han Yue rubbed her belly without batting an eye. Her eyes were filled with scheming, she might as well find an opportunity to divorce Qu Zhong.
Using her conditions to hook up with a rich second generation was an easy task. It was just like hooking up with Qu Zhong.
It's just that I can't have the child in my womb anymore...
Han Yue took a sip of the milk in her cup, smiled slightly, and said to herself with a somewhat proud tone: "Baby, it's not that mom doesn't want you, but your dad is too useless. Next time, just put in a better pregnancy."
Lying on the bed, he picked up his phone and started chatting with his' little sister 'from before.
Previously, there was a person in their circle who relied on their child to successfully marry into a rich family, causing a bunch of young sisters to feel jealous. Originally, she could have been one of them, but alas …
Han Yue turned her body, and coincidentally saw her own clean fingernails, and pouted unhappily.
Qu Zhong actually couldn't even afford to make her nails anymore. If this carried on, he would have to wear the tattered clothes on the floor sooner or later.
Han Yue swiped the screen fiercely, the force was so strong that it seemed to want to prick the screen.
She had promised herself that she would never again live in poverty!
He needed to hurry up, because no matter how old he was, it would be difficult for him to fight.
She slowly moved downstairs while holding her stomach, and asked Qu Zhong: "Hubby, what are we going to eat tonight?"
Qu Zhong looked at her stomach that was puffed up, and frowned: "Qu Biao! We can borrow money from Qin Yanmo! "
kohlrabi fructus frowned: "What does this have to do with Qin Yanmo?"
"Qin Yanmo called me. He said he had Qu Biao at his place!" The more Qu Zhong said, the more excited he became, "If he doesn't lend me any money, we'll sue him for kidnapping!"
Han Yue was a little hesitant: "Is that alright?"
She was about to leave, and didn't want to be noticed by Qin Yanmo at the last moment. At that time, no matter where she went, she would be caught and brought back here.
"Even if I can't, I have to try!" Qu Zhong clenched his teeth, "This is the last method."
kohlrabi fructus nodded her head vigorously: "Little Zhong is right, this is the last resort!"
