This made Xia Yangyang feel utterly ashamed.

Xia Yangyang said to Gu Qichen, “I will make it clear about this. If it’s true, I’ll consider the five million as a loan from you and find a way to repay you.” Although Gu Qichen mentioned it as Xia Weiwei owed him money,

Xia Yangyang knew that for Xia Weiwei, this money seemed like pocket change that she never intended to return.

Yet, Xia Yangyang could not stand Xia Weiwei’s entitlement!

As a newcomer, her pay for acting in Cinderella wasn’t high.

The total barely exceeded two million.

Gu Qichen said, “Do you have to be so formal with me? It’s only five million.”

“It’s not the same.”

“There’s no difference. Let’s put this aside for now. If you’re worried, let’s go home tonight to ask about it.”

Xia Yangyang knew she would anger Gu Qichen if she rejected the money too vigorously.

So, before she could clarify the situation, Xia Yangyang didn’t say anything else.

Xia Yangyang shook her head, “You should not return, don’t you always visit your ancestral house every Sunday? I will go first to investigate, and if anything comes up, I will let you know.”

Gu Qichen considered it awhile and agreed.

Xia Yangyang rarely visited his ancestral house now.

Partly due to her busy schedule and partly because she still managed to avoid Gu Zhaohan.

After their last rooftop parting, Xia Yangyang had almost no contact with Gu Zhaohan.

Some difficulties are better left to fade over time.

Xia Yangyang left the Shengyuan Building ahead of time.

She didn’t expect that Xia Weiwei was still in the Shengyuan Building’s lobby.

Seeing Xia Yangyang come out alone,

Xia Weiwei quickly approached her, pointed at Xia Yangyang and berated, “Xia Yangyang, you ungrateful woman. After living with us for over a decade, now when our family is in trouble, you just stand aside and even sabotage us. I will tell dad about your true colors. He has been feeling guilty about you all these years, I want him to see that his favorite daughter is nothing but an ingrate.” Standing in front of Xia Weiwei’s harsh accusation, Xia Yangyang took a step forward and grabbed Xia Weiwei’s arm, “If there’s truly something wrong with the family, I won’t stand by, but Gu Qichen is not your money tree. He owes you nothing. Bring out that check.”

After much thought, Xia Yangyang felt that she couldn’t let Xia Weiwei take that check.

Even if five million meant nothing to Gu Qichen or Shengyuan,

once Xia Weiwei had a taste of the sweet life, with her thick skin, it would become a bottomless pit.

Xia Yangyang could imagine Xia Weiwei hounding Gu Qichen for more money.

She also didn’t want to see Xia Weiwei getting close to Gu Qichen.

Xia Weiwei shook off Xia Yangyang’s hand.

Clutching her bag, a triumphant expression on her face, she said, “Xia Yangyang, this five million has nothing to do with you. Gu Qichen gave it to me out of respect for me. You dream of getting it back. Don’t worry, I’ll thank him properly in the future.”

She turned and left as Xia Weiwei finished speaking.

Xia Yangyang knew that Xia Weiwei had been spoiled since childhood but never thought she could behave so shamelessly.

Xia Weiwei and Xia Yangyang arrived at the Xia Family’s villa, one after the other.

Xia Liangdong was in his study.

Xia Yangyang went straight to Xia Liangdong’s study on the upper floor.

The door to the study was open, and Xia Liangdong was talking on the phone inside.

He was taking one call after another, constantly smoking, pacing back and forth in the room.

Xia Yangyang could vaguely hear words like “loan” and “shortage of funds”.

After Xia Liangdong finally ended his call, Xia Yangyang knocked on the door of his study.
