"Using hairpins to identify the sextuplets? I see, I have learned a lot this time." Guan Heng nodded slightly, and then asked: "It seems that lending is also your common business?"
"Well, yes, the entire Ashton continent's loan business is our family's industry." Mary bowed to Guan Heng and the two of them, and said politely: "Hello, let me introduce you again. It's Violet Mary, the owner of the 'Public Lending, Violet' family."
After sitting down in front of Guan Heng and Meili, Mary asked: "So, you said you are here to give money, what's going on?"
So, Guan Heng told the story about Meilu's father, Gray, who owed money.
"I see, it turns out that this lady is Mr. Gray's daughter." Violet Mary smiled slightly: "Yes, the debt collection letter sent to you was indeed sent by me."
Meilu asked nervously: "So, you didn't embarrass my dad, did you?"
"How is this possible?" Mary said easily: "Mr. Gray is a frequent customer of ours and often borrows money from us. He enjoys VIP-level treatment here."
"What?" Meilu asked in surprise: "But I remember the tone of the letter was very strong, saying that if I don't pay back the money, my dad's personal safety will not be guaranteed, etc."
"Haha, little sister, debt collection letters are always written like this. If the tone is not tougher, it will be difficult for us to collect the debt." Mary spread her hands and smiled bitterly: "What's more, this time the debt collection letter is written in accordance with the It was written at your father's request and has nothing to do with me."
"Uh, why would my dad do this?" Meilu was a little dizzy at this moment. She muttered: "What did this dad do? It's really inexplicable!"
"I think you should ask Mr. Gray for details." Mary said to Meilu while counting the gold coin pocket handed over by Guan Heng, "Mr. Gray is in the third room from the left on the second floor. After I finish counting the amount owed, you can leave, and... thank you for your business, and welcome to come back next time."
"Dong dong dong..." Meilu, suffocating with anger, rushed up to the second floor and banged on the door desperately. She shouted: "Dad, open the door quickly!"
Meilu shouted four or five times, and the door finally opened. A sleepy-eyed middle-aged man stood at the door, yawning. He muttered impatiently: "Who is this? I don't know I just got beaten." You’ve been playing cards all night, do you need a rest now?”
"Huh!" Mei Lu, furious, grabbed Gray's collar without hesitation and pushed him directly into the room. Guan Heng casually threw a gold coin to the guy leading the way and said to him: "We are here Can you stay in the room for a while?"
"Of course, of course." The guy said with a smile on his face while holding the gold coins: "If you pay ten more gold coins, you can stay in the room overnight..."
"Boom!" Before the money-hungry guy could finish speaking, Guan Heng had already slammed the door to his room.
"Dad, can you explain to me now what happened?" Meilu looked at Gray with a sullen face and asked, "Who swore in front of her mother's grave that she would never gamble again? You said what you said half a year ago?" Have you completely forgotten what you said?"
"Uh, Meilu...listen to me." Gray saw that his daughter was angry and annoyed, and was about to cry. He quickly explained: "It's not that I want to go to the gambling table again, this time it happened for a reason, so I just asked Miss Mary to write the content of the debt collection letter more seriously, just to urge you to come over and discuss the matter.
"I don't believe it. Your hands must be itchy again, so you went to play cards and throw dice, but you lost again, borrowed money, and lost. In the end, you still owed a foreign debt of more than 30,000 gold coins." Meilu had tears in her eyes. Said: "If it weren't for Brother Fuxing this time..."
"Ahem." Guan Heng coughed twice. He glared at Meilu fiercely, which meant: "Have you forgotten my warning again? Don't call me Brother Fuxing!"
Meilu quickly changed her mind: "Oh...it was Guan Heng's help. Where can I get so much money to pay off your debt?"
"Daughter, I can't do anything without gambling this time. How can I take care of debts?" Gray sat down on the chair. He covered his face and said, "Because, I saw that the other party had that thing." "Something', but I didn't have the money to redeem it, so I had to go to the gambling table with them. Unexpectedly, I was unlucky and lost."
"Meilu, please sit down too." Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and said, "Don't just blame Mr. Gray first, listen to his reasons."
Gray glanced at Guan Heng gratefully and whispered: "Thank you."
"Okay, I'll just listen to Guan Heng." Meilu sat opposite Gray with her anger still lingering. She asked, "Dad, tell me what's going on?"
"Well, I originally thought that I couldn't live in such a muddle-headed way, so I left the royal capital and came here to find a job." Gray sighed and said, "Who knew that I met a generous young man on the road a few days ago. "
"This rich young man named Pippin actually has in his hand the solid gold family emblem that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family." Gray lowered his head and said, "I remembered that when your grandfather was drinking too much and was drunk, he sold it to I married a foreigner, and then the family emblem disappeared without a trace."
"Melu, the ancestor of our family is one of the top ten nobles who founded the Kauru Kingdom. Although it has declined now, I don't want the family emblem to fall into the hands of outsiders, but I don't have the money to redeem it. , Mr. Pippin, who loves gambling, asked me to have a showdown with him at the gambling table, and the bet was the family crest."
Gray's voice became lower and lower: "So I broke my promise and wanted to have a try at the gambling table again, but I was wrong and I lost completely."
"Dad..." Now, Meilu didn't know what to say. She muttered: "Forget it, I don't blame you. After all, it's because of the solid gold family emblem."
"But I really don't want others to take away that pure gold family emblem." Gray held his head and sobbed, "That has been our family's glory for hundreds of years."
"Okay dad, stop talking. Your safety is more important than anything else." Meilu persuaded me at this time: "Promise me not to do those risky things again, okay..."
Before Meilu could finish her sentence, someone suddenly knocked on the door. It turned out to be Mary's man. He shouted outside the door: "Mr. Gray, that servant of Mr. Pippin, is here to see you again."
"What's going on?" Meilu turned to Gray with a surprised expression, "Dad, why did Mr. Pippin send someone to look for you?"
