An Rong locked the door and walked in.

Zhou Qi was sitting on the couch, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands. She didn’t take a single sip for a long time, lost in deep thought.

“Mum!”

An Rong called out a few times before she snapped back to reality.

“What is it?”

Zhou Qi took a sip of tea and looked at her.

“Mum, what were you thinking about that made you so deep in thought?” An Rong asked as she sat down next to her.

Zhou Qi said, “I was thinking about Aman.”

“My sister?”

“Yes, ever since your sister went to prison, we only visited her once. We haven’t seen her in a while, I wonder how she’s doing.” Zhou Qi put down her tea cup, let out a sigh, and showed a hint of worry.

“Xiang Cheng’s health is deteriorating day by day and I don’t know how much longer he can hold on. Xiang Rong is truly heartless. Not to mention the fact that Aman has been his wife for more than twenty years, he is too cruel. He does not even visit Aman, not to mention Xiang Cheng.”

As Zhou Qi continued to speak, her tone became increasingly resentful.

An Rong remained silent, listening to Zhou Qi’s ramblings.

“I plan to visit Aman in a few days. An Rong, accompany me. We can also visit Xiangxiang while we’re there.”

It really is embarrassing. The An Family were well-respected in Beijing, but now Aman is in jail, and now there’s another one, Yang Xiang.

What sins have the An Family committed to have ended up in this unfortunate situation.

After a while, Zhou Qi, feeling tired of talking, took a few sips of tea to quench her thirst.

“Mum, there’s something I want to discuss with you.” After lengthy consideration, An Rong said.

“What is it?”

“Mum, as you know, ever since Xiangxiang went to prison, the reputation of the Yang Group has plummeted. We are also currently facing financial issues in the company.” An Rong said with a forlorn look: “If things continue this way, our group won’t withstand much longer.”

All this is due to that despicable Jian Qing. Ever since she appeared, she only brought endless calamities to them.

“How did it become so serious that the company’s funds are facing problems?” Zhou Qi hastily asked, looking astonished.

“Isn’t it all because of that damn Jian Qing? She has Quan Jingwu to back her, JK International is pressuring our Yang Group. Who in Beijing would dare to risk offending JK International to help us?” An Rong indignantly said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi furrowed her brows: “So, what should we do?”

“Mum, why don’t you go talk to my elder brother and ask for his help, or else our home will end up like my sister.” An Rong held onto her hand and pleaded.

She knew if her elder brother was willing to help her, there would be hope for the Yang Group.

“This…” On hearing her words, Zhou Qi seemed hesitant.

“Mum, I beg you, please help.” An Rong shook her hand while pleading once again.

Zhou Qi sighed heavily, patted her hand, and tried to console her: “An Rong, your mother would like to help you, but you also know that your elder brother is now unwilling to even see me. Even if I wanted to plead your case, I don’t have the opportunity to. Furthermore, your elder brother is now completely obsessed with Jian Qing and her brother, even if I pleaded with him, it would be in vain.”

“But… then what should we do, I’m at a loss right now. Why don’t we ask Dad to help the Yang Group survive this financial crisis.” An Rong eagerly suggested.

“What are you talking about.” Zhou Qi’s face abruptly changed, she brushed off her hand, and said sternly: “Speak of such things only in front of me, if you said so elsewhere, who knows how others might misunderstand your father. Your father holds a high position, how can he just interfere casually in these matters. If others found out, your father’s image and reputation would be affected.”

An Rong looked embarrassed seeing Zhou Qi truly angry, and hurriedly tried to defuse the tension by forcing a smile: “Mum, I was just desperate, I didn’t mean anything else by it. But since my second brother won’t help me, I had no other choice but to ask you and Dad for assistance.”

“Your second brother and your dad are not suitable to interfere in these matters, there are many eyes watching the An Family behind the scenes. If we gave them anything to exploit, the consequences would be unimaginable.” Said Zhou Qi, her expression softening a bit.

An Rong reached up to touch the corner of her eye, and forced a few tears out. Her voice choked with emotion as she said, “What can I do then? As no one is willing to help us, the Yang Group is bound to fall sooner or later.”

Seeing her crying, Zhou Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to see her like this.

“How much money is needed to temporarily mitigate the crisis within the Group?”

Having heard this, a gleam of light slid past deep in An Rong’s eyes as she faintly said, “Five hundred million.”

“What?” Zhou Qi stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at An Rong.

“Mum!”

An Rong didn’t expect her reaction to be so big. She was anxious to explain, but Zhou Qi interrupted her.

“An Rong, five hundred million, why so much?”

Zhou Qi thought that the most they would need is two hundred million, but to her surprise, An Rong asked for five hundred million right off the bat.

“Mum, five hundred million is just a portion of what we need. We have already sold some properties to raise some funds. We still need five hundred million. Please think of a way to help me, Mum, I beg you.” An Rong clung to her sleeve and pleaded pitifully.

“This… An Rong, five hundred million is not a small amount. Your mother can’t come up with that much money in such a short time, let me think about it.”

“Mum, I know it’s difficult for you to fulfill this request, but we really have no other choice, that’s why I’m asking for your help.” An Rong wiped her tears and said.

Looking at An Rong, Zhou Qi found it hard to remain unmoved. She sighed deeply and said: “You wait here, I’m going to get something.”

An Rong nodded. Watching Zhou Qi’s retreating figure, she put her hand down, her eyes devoid of any tears.

In a short while, Zhou Qi came back holding a bankbook.

“There’s a hundred million in this bankbook, you can use it for now. As for the rest, I’ll see if I can talk to your second brother about it and try to give you a hand.”

An Rong took the bankbook from her hand, a look of gratitude appearing on her face: “Mum, thank you, once the company’s finances are back to normal, I will definitely pay you back.”

“Keep it safe, don’t let your sister-in-law see it.” Zhou Qi admonished, “Don’t tell your dad about this, remember.”

“Uh-huh, I know.” An Rong nodded.

Zhou Qi sat back down on the sofa, waved her hand in exhaustion, and said: “If there’s nothing else, you can go now. So you don’t run into Jian Qing later and cause a scene.”

Now that she had achieved her goal, An Rong naturally didn’t want to stay longer. She tucked the bankbook into her bag and picked it up.

“Mum, I’ll leave first then. I’ll accompany you to visit my sister in a few days.”
