An Emotional Debt Hard to Repay!

“Help me, Hao!”

The woman flung herself forward and knelt with a thud.

She looked up, her eyes brimming with tearful desperation, gazing at Zhang Hao.

Without heavy makeup or luxurious clothes.

Her face was etched with worry, her eyes red and swollen, the bags under them profound.

It was clear she hadn’t slept well recently, had encountered major difficulties, and was under immense stress.

Zhang Hao was immediately dumbfounded.

“You…

who are you?

I don’t know you!”

As he spoke, Zhang Hao bent down to shake off her hand, attempting to back away.

“I’m Fang Yan!

My husband is Chen Yong; he’s Jie’s good brother and old classmate.

We met at our wedding!”

Fang Yan crawled forward on her knees, clutching Zhang Hao’s leg tightly.

This scene.

Immediately stunned many of the surrounding waitstaff and customers.

Luckily, the soccer match was captivating, and many people were busy eating skewers and watching the game, not noticing the commotion here.

Still…

Zhang Hao was embarrassingly obligated.

“You…

what are you doing?Get up quickly!

Not like this, there are so many customers, get up, get up!”

Zhang Hao pulled and tugged, trying to get the tearful Fang Yan to stand up.

Glancing around hurriedly, he immediately pointed towards the backyard.

“Go, go, go!

Let’s talk in the backyard if you have something to say!”

Zhang Hao stepped forward briskly, and Fang Yan, not daring to delay, quickly wiped her tears and followed.

Not far away.

Joy saw everything that happened.

“What’s going on?

Could it be that Hao’s old flame has suddenly come to her senses and is crying to get back together with him?”

“That’s not right, though!

With his pig-like appearance, only I can tolerate him, letting him take advantage of me!”

“Sigh!

I only wanted to use him to get Jie to help me, but what now?”

As she muttered to herself, Joy looked around.

Unfortunately.

She hadn’t seen Wu Jie, who had been absent for the past three days, despite her frequent visits every night.

After inquiring with Mr.

and Mrs.

Wu Jianguo, she only found out that Wu Jie had been busy working overtime, not returning home for three days and nights.

With Tang Xiao on a business trip and not at home, Wu Jie devoted himself to work, staying away all night, which made sense.

“Mr.

Wu, Mr.

Wu, when will you give me a helping hand!”

Joy sighed and turned to leave.

But someone grabbed her suddenly.

“Excuse me, I…

I would like to inquire about something,”

Shu Mengyan took off her sunglasses and mask, asking earnestly.

Joy was initially quite irritated, but upon seeing Shu Mengyan’s stunning visage, she was instantly dumbstruck.

My goodness!

Is this a goddess descending to earth?

Her features were exquisite, lips red and teeth white.

Her pretty face, high nose bridge, sweet smile…

A pair of sparkling, expressive eyes.

Lightly made-up, dressed simply, yet exuding the delicate beauty of a gem.

This made Joy, the ‘Internet-famous beauty’ manufactured through plastic surgery, feel suddenly inferior and ashamed.

It was like a high-quality fake encountering the real brand.

Embarrassed beyond compare!

With amazement and envy flashing in her eyes, Joy scanned Shu Mengyan as if with laser precision, inspecting her.

She couldn’t believe it!

How could there be such a naturally pretty and elegant woman in the world?

At the shop, Joy had already seen Tang Xin, but given the descendants of the Tang family and their superior genetic heritage, she had no objection.

But the problem was…

This beautiful woman in front of her seemed to be of modest means by her attire and demeanor.

Either a college student or someone who had only started working and was too frugal to spend much, a girl from the countryside.

Such girls have a common trait: they know how to dress up, but money is a constraint.

With the great looks, figure, and temperament bestowed by the heavens, even a simple T-shirt and jeans could conjure the aura of a goddess.

There was no helping it!

We live in an age where looks and figure matter.

A beautiful woman with perfect curves and fair skin, even in plain clothes and without makeup.

Looks better than rich ladies swathed in branded clothes, heavy makeup, yet with a face of bulging flesh and a waist as wide as a barrel.

“You…

what do you want to ask about?”

After taking a good look and realizing there was no sign of plastic surgery, Joy asked with a sour tone.

Shu Mengyan smiled and asked, “It seems like you’re General Manager Zhang’s girlfriend?”

Joy snorted with a laugh, thinking Shu Mengyan was another one seeking to use Zhang Hao for connections, yet another person trying to get close to Wu Jie.

“Nonsense!

What do you mean by ‘seems like’?

It’s obvious that I am!”

Joy held her head high, but her surgically sharpened chin lacked aesthetic appeal—it was more frightening than attractive.

Shu Mengyan noticed it too, but pretended not to see.

As an air stewardess trained strictly, she would never casually speak ill of someone—it was unbecoming.

“Given that, you must know Mr.

Wu.

I was hoping…”

“Stop right there!

You stop right there!”

Joy abruptly interrupted, looking down on Shu Mengyan with cold disdain, “I know what you’re up to.

My Jie is already married, taken, and not available; Zhang also has me.

So get rid of the idea of trying to get close to us for connections!”

Shu Mengyan smiled at the misunderstanding and shook her head repeatedly.

“I’m sorry, it’s not what you think.

I just want to repay Mr.

Wu, that’s all!”

“Repay?”

Joy’s lips curled up slightly, her arms crossed in front of her chest, her gaze wary and complicated as she scrutinized Shu Mengyan.

“What debt?

Looking at your clothes, one can tell you’re probably not well-off!”

“You asking for a debt from Jie, I might believe, but repaying him…

did you get it wrong?’

Shu Mengyan opened her purse and pulled out a bulging envelope.

“I’m an air stewardess with Tianyuan Airlines; I accidentally damaged Mr.

Wu’s laptop on a flight!”

“I gave him my contact information, but he hasn’t added me, so on my day off I quickly withdrew the money, hoping to repay him in person.”

“But I heard from other waitstaff that he used to come regularly, but has been absent these three days!”

“So, if it’s convenient for you, could you accept this on his behalf and relay it to him?”

Joy nodded slightly and smiled.

Thinking to herself.

So she’s an air stewardess!

No wonder she’s so beautiful and has such graceful posture.

This voice, too, was delicate and gentle, as if imbued with some kind of magic.

“So it’s about forwarding?

Then why didn’t you take it to the cashier?” Joy retorted.

“I’ve been there, but they said the store was too busy with revenue work and suggested I should give it to him personally!”

Looking at Shu Mengyan’s sincere face, Joy couldn’t help but laugh.

“Are you really that naive, or just dumb?

If Jie didn’t add you on the messaging app, it means he didn’t plan on making you pay!”

“And if he didn’t even add you on the messaging app, it shows he didn’t really care about you at all!

So…

go back to where you came from!”

Joy was quite harsh and direct as she spoke.

But she clearly underestimated the psychological resilience of an air stewardess.

During their professional training, air stewardesses are taught not to retaliate when hit or talk back when scolded.

Even if a plane were about to crash, they must maintain a calm smile.

“It’s my fault and I should fulfill my obligation to compensate!” Shu Mengyan pleaded with a smile: “Since you’re the girlfriend of Jie’s good brother, do you have his phone number?

If I ask him and he clearly says there’s no need to repay, that would put my mind at ease.”

“Uh…”

Joy’s face turned red instantly.

How could she possibly have Wu Jie’s phone number?

She had only managed to show up here so often by shamelessly clinging to Zhang Hao.

As for Wu Jie’s messaging app and phone number, she had asked Zhang Hao, but that clever guy simply wouldn’t give it to her!

The thought alone!

Joy felt like she had been taken advantage of egregiously, having been played by the boar many times over.

Each time she was tormented to the point of feeling almost dead, and yet… she hadn’t even managed to get Wu Jie’s phone number for the messaging app.

“Of course I do!

It’s just that my phone’s out of battery.

Wait here, I’ll find my husband’s phone!”

Saying this, Joy marched out, heading toward the backyard with her head held high.

The unsuspecting Shu Mengyan, full of hope, didn’t suspect a thing.

But inside, her heart ached!

Forty thousand yuan!

It took her a long time just to save up thirty thousand, and for Wu Jie’s compensation, she even had to borrow two or three thousand from her colleagues.

Clenching the envelope tightly in her hand, Shu Mengyan felt extremely burdened.

Her elderly parents were back home, working the farm.

Busy all year round, growing fruits, harvesting wheat, threshing grain… how much could they possibly earn?

After backbreaking work and scrimping and saving, they’d only manage about ten or twenty thousand at most.

But just like that, she herself was about to lose forty thousand.

Equivalent to two years of their labor on the farm; if her parents found out, they would surely burst into tears.

Sigh!

With a sigh, Shu Mengyan’s slender hands gripping the envelope tightened even more.

It truly hurt!

…

The backyard.

Fang Yan, crying and sniffing, recounted the whole story to Zhang Hao.

Of course, the most severe aspects were the recent conditions of Chen Yong and Deng Hua.

First off.

Their illnesses were serious and unpredictable, the cost of the ICU being so high at two or three thousand a day.

Although they no longer had to repay the loan borrowed from Luo Chenyun for gambling on football matches, and credit card debts like consumer credit services could wait until next month, relatives and friends of both families were already terrified of lending money, making up all kinds of excuses, some even directly ignoring calls.

Fang Yan maxed out her credit cards and selling the house wouldn’t guarantee an immediate sale.

Secondly.

The investigation into the major traffic accident had concluded, carefully inspected and proven by multiple experts.

With the car’s dash cam, highway surveillance, testimonies of other drivers, and additional evidence, the case was quite clear.

Chen Yong and Deng Hua intent on suicide, suddenly became violent in the fast-moving Land Rover, causing the vehicle to lose control and resulting in a major accident.

Lastly.

Because they committed the crime deliberately, leading to a severe car accident.

All other vehicles and people involved in the crash could be compensated by the insurance company.

But not these two; both national law and insurance policies are clear that deliberate crimes are not compensated.

This meant that the commercial insurance Wu Jie had purchased for the company’s employees couldn’t be claimed by them.

Moreover, they were now suspects endangering public safety and had been officially arrested.

The day they were discharged from the hospital would be the day they would be incarcerated.

And Fang Yan’s purpose in seeking Zhang Hao was simple: to plead for leniency.

She wasn’t even borrowing money anymore; both families had agreed to put their houses up for sale to see who could sell first.

One house would finance the medical costs; the other would be shared by both families to live in.

But the thought of them being imprisoned was intolerable!

Everyone knows that endangering public safety is a serious crime, with sentences starting at a minimum of three years and going up from there.

Fang Yan consulted with the legal advisor at her company.

Although the accident caused significant financial damage, fortunately, there were no mass casualties.

So, a death penalty for the two was out of the question, but given the situation, they were likely to face around ten years in prison.

Ten years!

Chen Yong and Deng Hua were almost in their thirties.

After spending ten years in prison, what good would it do them when they’d be entirely disconnected from society?

Moreover, both families had elderly parents and young children; how could they continue their lives?

The lawyer mentioned that Wu Jie, with his wealth, influence, and connections, could give the word and the case could be handled differently.

It could easily be changed from ‘violent struggle’ to ‘a dispute occurred.’

The nature of the case would change in an instant, becoming a minor offense rather than a threat to public safety.

Therefore.

Fang Yan, unable to contact Wu Jie, had already tried Star Cloud Internet Technology and Tanglong Industrial Group without success, so she had no choice but to come to the store and appeal to Zhang Hao.

“Jie is not taking your calls?

Not replying to your messages?” Zhang Hao asked in a deep voice.

Fang Yan, with tearful eyes, nodded repeatedly.

“So what’s the use of coming to me?

Do you want me to get yelled at and beaten up?” Zhang Hao asked coldly.

Fang Yan quickly stepped forward, trying to hold onto Zhang Hao, and begged:

“I know it’s their fault, but the thing is, only Jie can save them now!”

“They’ve been close friends for years; Jie can’t just let them die!

Please, Hao, can you just pass on a message for me?”

As she spoke, Fang Yan attempted to kneel.

At that moment, Joy walked through the door.

“Haizhu, there is a beautiful air stewardess outside who says she needs to repay money to Jie.

Could you make a call for her?”

“Ah, Jie will be here in a moment; tell her to wait!”

Zhang Hao casually replied, and after saying so, he suddenly realized he had misspoken.

He whirled around.

To see Fang Yan already racing out like a runaway horse…
