Chapter 733: Chapter 732: 732, friends of bad influence

“Xiaowei!” Huo Zhexi suddenly grasped her shoulders, “Is what Big Brother said true? What were you and Mr. Lin talking about just now?”

Bai Ruwei was flustered for a moment, “Nothing, we didn’t talk about anything.”

“Really?”

“Zhexi, you’re not doubting me, are you?” Bai Ruwei said, her already red and swollen eyes rapidly filling with tears, “He used to frequently visit Dingsheng, but I barely know him. I just didn’t want to make a scene, so I humored him. We talked for a long time, but I didn’t expect him to…”

Seeing Huo Zhexi stay silent, she shivered all over, quickly grasping his hand and saying, “You were so happy telling me this afternoon that you had booked a private room. I didn’t want to disappoint you or make you spend more money to change the location, I didn’t intentionally keep it from you. I didn’t know that we would run into Mr. Lin. Zhexi, you must believe me…”

A hint of emotion seemed to cross Huo Zhexi’s face. Finally, after a long while, he said, “That’s good.”

The room fell silent.

Bai Ruwei felt like she had been given a new lease on life. Huo Zhexi was half doubtful, half believing. The others simply watched as if they were watching a play. As for Huo Jingshen…

He commented nonchalantly, “Though Zhexi is still naive, I can tell that he has truly fallen for you. Miss Bai, if you truly wish to be with Zhexi, I hope you can show it through your actions, not just with words and playing the victim.”

Brushing his suit lightly, Huo Jingshen made his next move, “Zhexi is my brother, but you and Zhexi are merely boyfriend and girlfriend, you aren’t engaged yet. So to me, there’s no direct relation between you and me. I can cover the bill for tonight, but you both need to consider it as a loan. The amount, the borrower, the borrowing date, repayment date, and the associated interest all should be clearly written on paper.”

Then, he turned to Ji Jie with a glance, “Ji Jie, cooperate with Lawyer Wu. Have both of them write an IOU.”

“Yes, President Huo.” Ji Jie quickly nodded.

At that moment, he was totally in awe of President Huo!

It was like an endless river!

Poor couples face many troubles! Young people, when they have money, everything can be discussed harmoniously. There are no worries, but once they’ve no money left and are in debt…

President Huo hasn’t directly asked them to split up, but it is clear that their coming days won’t be smooth sailing.

As for Lawyer Wu beside them, he immediately opened his briefcase, pulling out paper, a pen, and even… an official seal, and inkpad.

“Third Young Master, Miss Bai, please.”

Huo Zhexi and Bai Ruwei were trembling.

Especially Huo Zhexi…

“Big Brother, is this necessary? It’s just a couple hundred thousand, and you’re making me write an IOU?” Huo Zhexi pursed his lips, looking at Huo Jingshen like a weak, helpless, and pathetic creature, hoping that he would have a change of heart.

Holding Su Wanwan’s hand, Huo Jingshen tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, “You can choose not to write it, and I won’t pay. You can spend the night here.”

Huo Zhexi: “…”

Huo Jingshen then looked at Bai Ruwei, “Miss Bai, if you are cruel enough to let Zhexi continue to stay in jail, you can also choose not to write.”

Bai Ruwei also: “…”

**

Once they were outside, Su Wanwan finally reacted, “Husband, are you forcing them to break up?”

A few words and they both now owe him a couple hundred thousand.

Before, this amount of money might not have mattered to Huo Zhexi, but now he has no source of income and it’s a burden.

Not to mention Bai Ruwei.

She is still a junior in college, living off part-time work for school fees and living expenses. How is she going to repay this much money?

Huo Jingshen looked at her, “Am I the kind of person who would break up a couple?”

Su Wanwan hummed twice in response.

He did not directly break them up, but he did personally hand over the means by which they might do so. She feared the two of them might end up fighting.

…

The next day.

Huo Jingshen arrived at the company around noon, stopping suddenly upon passing the secretary’s office.

Seeing Huo Zhexi with bandaids all over his face while he was working, he quickly raised an eyebrow.

“President Huo, is there something you need?” Ji Jie quickly stood up.

Huo Zhexi, who was looking at data on a nearby desk, was startled and quickly ducked behind the computer.

Huo Jingshen shifted his gaze away, “Continue working.”

“Yes.”

After Huo Jingshen’s figure had disappeared, Huo Zhexi sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. He felt like crying.

Having finally finished checking a spreadsheet, he couldn’t help but call Mingzhu.

The call was answered for a change.

Huo Zhexi immediately started to act cute, “Mom, can you give me some money? Your son is starving to death!”

Mingzhu threw out a few questions in quick succession, “Aren’t you working under Jingshen? Didn’t he advance your salary? Isn’t 4,000 yuan enough for your lunch?”

Huo Zhexi: “…”

“Your father doesn’t want me to interfere in your affairs. The doctor also advised me not to worry. If you want your mom to live a few more years, don’t call me for a while. I also don’t want to interfere in your relationship with Miss Bai. Do as you please.”

With that, she hung up.

Huo Zhexi, feeling hopeless, could only reopen WeChat.

From last night to now, he had posted a request for a loan on the pages of all his WeChat friends. But, damn, none of them seemed willing to lend any money. It was like they had all conspired together.

The nicer ones might send a small red envelope with a few dozens yuan; others didn’t reply at all. Some even accused him of being a fraud, saying he had hacked WeChat, stolen a phone…

This was ridiculous!

Huo Zhexi couldn’t help but ask himself: What kind of friends has he been making all these years?

They were all wolves in sheep’s clothing, weren’t they?

All of them, one by one, were white-eyed wolves!

After barely getting through lunch, he finally got off work and returned home in the evening. The moment he entered the house, he found that it was empty.

He immediately called Bai Ruwei, “Xiaowei, where are you? Why aren’t you back yet?”

“I’m working.”

“Working at night? Where are you working? Didn’t I ask you to quit your job at the club?”

“I now owe a couple hundred thousand, how am I supposed to repay that if I quit? Lawyer Wu said I need to pay ten thousand by the end of this month. If I don’t, the amount I owe will double at the end of next month. What am I supposed to do? I have to go now, the manager is calling me back to work.”

Huo Zhexi sat in the living room, and upon hearing this, he threw his phone out right away.

Damn it!

He moved out to live together, thinking they would have sweet days together. But just a few days in, it was quite the opposite.

After working hard for a day, he returned home to find not even a single warm meal waiting for him!

Huo Zhexi touched his swollen face and grimaced.

He suddenly felt like he was asking for trouble.

Choosing to abandon his life as a wealthy heir to work hard and owe his big brother a hefty sum of money. To make matters worse, he had to pay interest every month?

What kind of life was this?

**

That day, Mo Weiyi also finally resumed her internship.

But today was already Friday.

That is to say, out of the five-day work week, she took leave for four days, which made her feel uneasy when she got to the law firm.

Luckily, her colleagues didn’t show her any attitude and Old Wang didn’t say much either. And as for Lu Chenyu…

It was already past 10 o’clock and he wasn’t at work yet?

“Teacher Wang,” Mo Weiyi couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with my master? Does he have a court session?”

Old Wang adjusted his glasses, “No, Attorney Lu took leave today.”

“Oh? On leave? What happened to him?”

“I heard he caught a severe cold.”

A severe cold?

Mo Weiyi frowned.

How could master catch such a bad cold?

Weren’t they happily barbecuing together last night?

She didn’t notice anything strange about him then.

She suddenly remembered what Xiao Yebai said last night. He said Lu Chenyu… had weak constitution and kidney deficiency.

No wonder he got a cold.@@novelbin@@

Old Wang was already calling Lu Chenyu.

“Attorney Lu, are you feeling any better?”

“….”

“I have a statement of account with IOead here. It needs your signature today.”

“….”

“Okay, I’ll bring it by around noon for you to sign.”

After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi immediately asked, “Teacher Wang, are you going to visit my master at noon?”

Old Wang didn’t think much about it, “Yes, the account statement will expire if it isn’t signed today.”

Mo Weiyi’s eyes lit up, “Can I come with you?”

Old Wang was taken aback, “You?”

“Yes, since master is sick, it’s appropriate for his student to visit him.” Mo Weiyi rubbed her hands, “My bodyguard is waiting downstairs, he can drive us there. It’s very convenient.”

Old Wang pondered a bit and nodded, “That’s fine.”

It saves time.

And money as well.

Plus, it was the latest model Audi – he could also enjoy the ride.

**

At noon, as time rolled around, Mo Weiyi immediately got up, changed her shoes, grabbed her bag, and set off with Old Wang.

When they reached downstairs.

“Princess.” Rong An immediately stood up.

Mo Weiyi handed him the small bag, “Drive.”

Rong An was surprised.

He had to drive today?

Weren’t they going to that fast food restaurant for lunch?

Once in the car, with Old Wang in the back seat, Mo Weiyi in the co-driver’s seat, she told Rong An the address, and they drove off.

Lu Chenyu lived in a high-end community. It was still in the city, but a bit far from the law firm.Upd@te by novg0.c0

They arrived at the entrance of the residential community, and the car stopped.

Mo Weiyi said, “Teacher Wang, wait for me a bit. I am going to buy something.”

“Sure.” Old Wang nodded.

Rong An followed Mo Weiyi out of the car. After about ten or so minutes, the two of them came back carrying a heap of items.

All items were placed in the empty space in the back seat.

Old Wang glanced at the items casually and nearly had his eyes blinded.

“Kidney Treasure Tablets,” “Six-flavor Rehmanniae Pills,” “Prostatitis Granules”…..

“Miss Mo, what are these things you bought?”

“They’re for my master!” Mo Weiyi crisply answered.

Old Wang wiped his cold sweat.

This little princess is such a monster!

Why did she buy so many kidney tonics for Attorney Lu?
