"Late Autumn, are you alright?" Xia Jingxuan's voice sounded and his tone was filled with apology.

So fast, he actually knew about it.

"I'm fine, I'm together with Ah Xun, I'm hanging up." She didn't want to say another word. This was the second time she mentioned Leng Mu and Tong on the phone with Xia Jingxuan. The first time was when she said the wrong words. However, this time, she was clear about what she was saying.

"Late autumn, Auntie Liang came tonight."

"Ah …" The finger that was about to press the end button immediately moved away. At the mention of Liang Shuzhen, she began to sweat profusely.

"She seems to have... "It doesn't look good."

"Did you ask for money again?" She moved her phone from one ear to the other. She was worried. Liang Shuyuan definitely wouldn't go to Xia Jingxuan for money.

"Yeah, she said something happened to Mr. White in the hospital, maybe …" "It's possible …" Stuttering, Xia Jingxuan could not continue on.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you for telling me." He quickly hung up the phone and dialed Liang Shuyuan's number. She never called him because she had something on. He felt guilty and afraid that he would ask for money from her. However, who else could it be but him who was closest to her?

"Mom." This time, Liang Shuyuan caught it rather quickly.

"Howl …" It was true, "Late autumn, your Uncle Bai is no longer being chased after owing a high interest loan. Now that he's living in the hospital, I don't know if I can save him, even the medical fees … "I can't hand it in either."

"Mom, how much money do you owe me?"

"Several tens of millions. I don't know the specifics either. Mo Yu said that he could get it, but it's been an entire day and he can't even be operated on." Liang Xiaoxiao truly cried. It didn't sound like she was lying. Zhong Xiuqiu also didn't understand why Liang Shuzhen loved Bai Zhan [1] so much, but this was her fate. Her fate was the same as Bai Zhan [2].

"Mom, don't cry. I'll think of something."

"Late autumn, if you can help the Bai Clan overcome this hurdle, mother will repay you for being a hero in her next life." On the other side of the phone, it sounded like tears and snot, while Liang Shuyuan's voice was constantly choked with sobs.

No matter what, it was Liang Shuren who brought her out of the orphanage. Hearing her cry, her heart felt even more sour. "Mom, don't say that, I will do my best." Not for the sake of the Bai family, not for the sake of her mother.

When she put down the phone, she realized that she was still leaning on Leng MuXun.

"Little girl, don't cry." He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his finger. "I promise you, the Bai Clan will be fine tomorrow."

"Will it be okay even if I don't sign?"

He nodded. "Yes."

However, her hand finally dropped to the ground. When the words' Zhong Wanqiu 'were signed on those two pieces of paper, she knew that at the same time she got married, she had also gotten a divorce.

If she signed it, she would still have her freedom, and so would he.

She could go to school, she could work, but she had to keep up with the marriage until it was over.

"Grandpa will be here in a few days." His chin was lightly rubbing against her face, and the thin, stiff beard pricked her face and made it itch. "Qiu, don't worry. If you don't agree, I won't touch you."

He gave her another pill to calm her down, but it also allowed her to understand that he didn't really love her at all.

He drove into the city, "You must be hungry, what do you want to eat?"
