Jiang Xichen tried to stop her, but Jiang's father yelled at her to stop her.
"Chenchen, we are doing things in accordance with the regulations. Don't interfere with official duties."
Mother Jiang had tears in her eyes: "Mom and dad are gone, Chenchen, just take good care of your brother... by yourself."
He said this as if he was saying farewell forever, which frightened Jiang Xichen's heart.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had nothing to do but watch those people take her parents away.
Jiang Xichen was left alone, carrying a suitcase with only some clothes and looking at the house that had been sold. There was a long road ahead, but he didn't know where he should go.
She hesitantly called those relatives and friends she had been close to before. In the past, the people who came as soon as she called and were answered immediately seemed to have made an agreement this time. No one answered her call or sent any messages. Back.
Jiang Xichen's eyes lingered on the name of the last contact person, Yu Jin, for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and did not contact her. With the only cash in his hand, he checked into a nearby hotel.
As soon as she settled in, she couldn't wait to find a lawyer online, wanting to know what was going on with her parents, why they were taken away, and when they would be released.
The lawyer's response made her feel cold:
[Ms. Jiang, according to the amount you mentioned, it is normal for your parents to be sentenced.]
Jiang Xichen was flustered, and he didn't care that his words were not as respectful and polite as before, and then asked:
[You are a lawyer. You will definitely be able to find a way to rescue my parents. Please think of a way.]
The other party’s reply this time was very sarcastic:
[Don’t blame me for speaking harshly, Ms. Jiang, with your family’s current situation, can you still afford the lawyer’s fees? 】
Jiang Xichen became angry all of a sudden. The Jiang family were also his old customers. They used to give him a lot of benefits when they were rich. But now it's just a temporary problem, and he has become like this?
He typed a bunch of words angrily and wanted to scold the other party for his villainous style. When he was about to send it, his fingers paused again. Jiang Xichen looked at the screen blankly for a long time, with tears slowly filling his eyes, and then bit by bit he finished all the words he had typed before. deleted.
When I typed again, my tone became more tactful and coquettish, and changed to the attitude of asking people to do things. After typing, I checked again and again, polished it several times, and then clicked the send message button.
However, the results she got still made her heart sink.
——The message was not sent at all.
She has been deleted.
Jiang Xichen held the phone and stared blankly at the little red dot. The tears that had been holding in his eyes finally fell.
But at this moment, a message suddenly appeared on the chat interface.
Yu Jin: [Chenchen, what happened to your family? Why are there rumors in the circle that your parents are going to jail? 】
Jiang Xichen's eyes stared at the word "jail" for a long time, and he couldn't stop crying.
Yu Jin: [My brother told me that your villa has been sold and your parents have been imprisoned. The debt collectors will probably find you tomorrow. If you have nowhere to go now, you can come to my house to hide.]
Jiang Xichen's focus stopped on the word "my brother" for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed the chat box without replying to her.
Yu Yanzhou was not alarmist. Even before the next day, Jiang Xichen's phone was being used in the middle of the night. Whenever he answered the call, he would pay back the money.
As soon as the three-way connection was connected, Jiang Xichen was so frightened that she turned off the call mode of her mobile phone. She stayed in the hotel helplessly. It was dark outside, like an upside-down iron pot. She stared out the window, but what happened? Can't even sleep.
She just sat there all night with her phone in her arms. White light appeared on the horizon, and she finally fell asleep. She didn't sleep for long when she heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Jiang Xichen sat up nervously, holding his cell phone, fearing that there would be debts outside.
"who?"
Someone said from outside: "Ms. Jiang, it's already one o'clock in the afternoon. You only paid one night's room fee. If you don't want to check out, you need to renew your contract."
Jiang Xichen subconsciously wanted to say that he should renew the contract. He was startled when he opened his wallet and saw the few bills inside, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.
She forgot that things are different now. She has no money now and only has less than 3,000 yuan left in her pocket. She was kicked in the head by a donkey last night and she dared to stay in a hotel that costs 2,000 yuan a night.
"I won't renew my contract. I'm checking out."
Gritting her teeth, she stood up from the bed. She didn't sleep well last night and her eyes were a little dark when she first stood up. Jiang Xichen rinsed her face with cold water to wake herself up, then carried her suitcase and walked out the door.
The hotel staff kindly reminded her: "I don't know what's going on today. There are some strange people outside. They all look very vicious, like debt collectors. Miss Jiang, please be careful when you go out, but Qian Qian Don’t get into any conflict with those people, they are not easy to mess with.”
