âDamn that old woman, sh*t!â
Rong Chanâer was so angry that she wanted to smash the phone when she watched Old Madam Tangâs video where she explained that she had nothing to do with Tang Beibei.
Her meticulous plan went up in smoke just because of her words!
She called Old Madam Tang to question her, but her voice was gentle and elegant when she said, âGrandma Tang, why did you make such a video? Youâre clearly Tang Beibeiâs biological grandmother!â
Old Madam Tang, who accepted the call, trembled in fear when she remembered the two burly men standing near her bed with a dagger to her legs.
âI didnât do it willingly. It was that b*tch Tang Beibei. She borrowed money from people. Because of the previous video, her creditor found out that I was Tang Beibeiâs biological grandmother and came to ask me for repayment. They were so fierce and threatened to kill me. They scared me to death!â
âWhy would Tang Beibei borrow money?â
Rong Chanâer didnât believe it. Tang Beibei was married to Jiang Jingchen. Although the Jiang family had cut him off financially, it wouldnât be to the extent that Tang Beibei had to borrow money.
Could it be that Jiang Jingchen didnât buy those clothes for Tang Beibei? Did Tang Beibei borrow money to buy them herself so she could keep up appearances?
Rong Chanâer felt better at the thought of Tang Beibei borrowing money to buy branded clothes to keep up appearances.
âItâs true. The two men said that since I donât have the money to pay them, they will look for you. Second Miss Rong, you have to be careful.â The old lady said.
âLook for me? Why should they look for me? Iâm not even close to Tang Beibei!â
Rong Chanâer found it ridiculous. Why should she pay back the money Tang Beibei borrowed?
âGrandma Tang, you must have been tricked, right? If all they wanted was money, why did they ask you to make the clarification video?â Rong Chanâer was very suspicious.
The old lady explained, â1 donât think so. They said that if I canât pay them, I will need to make a video explaining that I have nothing to do with Tang Beibei as a reason for their failed collection. Just so they could answer to their boss.â âThen do you know who Tang Beibei owes money to?â
â1 donât know but they donât look like ordinary people. Sigh, that b*tch Tang Beibeiâ¦. I should have killed her back then and not let her commit sins!â The more the old lady thought about it, the angrier she got.
âGrandma Tang, donât be angry. Youâd better find out more about this Tang Beibei borrowing money business. Otherwise, what will you do if those people come looking for you again?â Rong Chanâer urged.
âHow can 1 find out ?â
âYou should find Tang Beibei and ask her whatâs going on. Besides, youâre old and someone has to take care of you in your old age, right? Although Tang Beibei isnât filial, she should still give you the money she earned.â
The old lady was tempted. She raised Tang Beibei so that Tang Beibei could support her in her old age.
However, she became terrified again when she thought about the men who had tracked her down to repay Tang Beibeiâs debt.
âI, Iâll go and ask her whatâs going on.â
âAlright, Iâll wait for your news!â
Rong Chanâer said a few more consoling words before she hung up.
After she ended the call, the gentleness on her face disappeared. She chuckled. âIt seems that Old Madam Tang is no longer of much use. We have to think of another way to destroy Tang Beibei!â
She stroked her chin and let out a sudden laugh.
Jiang Jingchenâs legs hadnât recovered yet, so he couldnât have sex and Tang Beibei was still a virgin.
If she could get photos of her in bed with a few men, Tang Beibei could forget about being the first young madam of the Jiang family!
Inside the schoolâs dance studioâ¦
Ruan Qi was dancing to the music when Tang Beibei suddenly pressed the pause button.
âQiqi, your third sequence isnât smooth. Change it.â Tang Beibei stepped forward and repeated the dance routine that Ruan Qi had just performed. Ruan Qi was surprised.
âYou remembered everything?â
Tang Beibei nodded. âYour dance sequence isnât too hard to remember but this part is a few beats too fast. We can pause here and slow down. The dance will be more interesting if there is varying tempo.â
Ruan Qi sat on the floor and looked at Tang Beibeiâs reflection in the mirror with envy.
âBeibei, I really envy your dancing talent. You can impromptu dance with music.â
Tang Beibei was embarrassed by her words. â1 donât have any talent. I guess I just practiced enough when 1 was young.â
In the past, the Rong family had sent Rong Meiâer for private tuition. Rong Meiâer was very lazy and unwilling to attend classes. However, attendance were taken for all classes, so Rong Meiâer made Tang Beibei attend the classes on her behalf.
If Tang Beibei did not turn up, Rong Meiâer would beat her and bully her.
The other students attended the dance classes for fun, but Tang Beibei attended them for refuge.
âThen why arenât you dancing now?â
Tang Beibei laughed self-deprecatingly. âI promised Rong Meiâer that I wouldnât tell anyone that I can dance. Besides, I donât dance well, so Iâd better not make a fool of myself.â
Ruan Qi frowned. âNo, Beibei, you dance very well. I was mesmerized by you the first time 1 saw you dance.â
âDonât tease me.â Tang Beibei did not think so.
Ruan Qi replied seriously, âItâs true. Youâre really good, Beibei.â
Seeing that Tang Beibei still didnât believe her, Ruan Qi said, âYou know that you can make money from dancing, right?â
âYes, Iâve heard of it. It seems like you can take on jobs. Do you audition for jobs?â
Ruan Qi knew that Tang Beibei would be serious when it came to money.
âBeibei, 1 can bring you to audition for commercial shows. Itâs very profitable.â Ruan Qi persuaded.
âCan I make it?â Tang Beibei was not confident.
âOf course, you can. You just havenât tried it before. I believe you will make it!â Ruan Qi was very confident.
Tang Beibei argued with herself if she could really make money from dancing.
âAlright, Iâll give it a try. If I donât make it, I wonât try again.â
âYou can definitely make it!â
The two of them practiced for a while before Tang Beibei received a call from Jiang Jingchen. She said goodbye to Ruan Qi.
She walked to the school gate and got into the car. When she saw Jiang Jingchen, she smiled.
She also wanted to earn her own money so she could buy him gifts.
âWhat are you so happy about?â
âHehe, Iâm very happy to see you!â
Jiang Jingchen looked at her silly smile and couldnât help but kiss her on the lips.
âYeah, Iâm happy too!â
Tang Beibei licked her lips and wanted to kiss him some more but her phone rang, and she picked it up.
Caller ID showed that it was her grandmother calling.
She was a little hesitant, but she answered the call in the end.
As soon as she accepted the call, she heard his grandmotherâs angry roar, âTang Beibei, did you borrow money from someone? Huh?â
âWhat money?â
âYou still donât admit it, Tang Beibei? The debt collectors have even come looking for me and scared me to death! Tang Beibei, how much money do you owe? And who did you borrow money from? Tell me!â
Tang Beibei was hearing a familiar voice, but she had no idea what her grandmother was talking about.
Jiang Jingchen, who was next to her, heard the voice on the phone. He narrowed his cold eyes and sneered.
âGrandma, listen to me. 1 didnât borrow any money. Youâ¦â
âYouâre lying again, Tang Beibei. Youâve become a habitual liar. Youâve really disappointed me!â
âWhat did I teach you when you were young? To live a straight arrow life! Instead, you stole another womanâs man and now you are borrowing money? I think youâre really bold. Youâve borrowed money from a loan shark, right? You unruly child, you b*astard!â
âThose people took my money. You must return me the money. Give me, give me 200,000 yuan!â
Although she had been robbed of 150,000 yuan, she asked for 200,000 yuan because she wanted Tang Beibei to give her 50,000 yuan as compensation for mental distress!
âTwo hundred thousand?â
Tang Beibei was horrified. She wanted to explain, but the man took her phone away.
âOld Madam, you must have been scammed!â
When Old Madam Tang heard the manâs voice, her aura weakened. However, when she thought about her money, her heart ached.
âWhat scam? Those people said that you borrowed money, and they took my money!â
Tang Beibei was confused and asked, âGrandma, where did you get 200,000 yuan? Didnât you say that you donât have any money and asked me to pay for your living expenses every month?â
âUm, urnâ¦â
Tang Beibei sighed helplessly. âSo, Grandma is rich, but I really didnât borrow any money. You must have been scammed. Call the police.â
âTang Beibei, you liar. You still want to lie to me? You!â
The old lady roared hysterically. Jiang Jingchen found it noisy and hung up the phone and then blocked her number.
He put down Tang Beibeiâs phone and lifted her chin when he saw her hang her head in disappointment.
âLook at me, Beibei. This isnât your fault. Donât let other peopleâs mistakes bring you down. Itâs not worth it!â
Tang Beibei didnât want to cry at first, but when she heard his comforting words, she blinked, and her tears fell uncontrollably..
