"Taeyeononi ......"

A rather hesitant call made Taeyeon, who was worried about the announcement in the next period of time, raise her head and looked at Xu Mengxin who was standing next to her, twitching her fingers in confusion.

"What's wrong, Mengxin?"

Xu Mengxin rarely hesitates so much, looking at her appearance, Taeyeon probably guessed that she might have something to ask her to help, but she was too embarrassed to speak, so she kept her head down and didn't know how to say it.

"I ......" Xu Mengxin was a little difficult to speak, and hesitated for a while before she could speak.

Seeing her like this, Taeyeon confirmed her guess even more, she did have something to ask her to help, but she couldn't open her mouth and looked embarrassed, so Taeyeon shook her head slightly and pulled the little girl to her.

"Is there anything you need Ernie to help with?"

And since she is now Xu Mengxin's guardian, she has to fulfill her responsibilities, and she will not stand idly by and watch Xu Mengxin's affairs.

"I want to ...... borrowed 5,000 won from Ernie ......" hesitated before Xu Mengxin said what she wanted to say.

When Taeyeon heard this, she smiled bitterly in some incomprehension.

After doing it for a long time, I just wanted to borrow 5,000 won from her? This is not a lot of money, at best, it is only the price of three or four bottles of drinks, how could Taeyeon refuse Xu Mengxin.

However, out of curiosity, Taeyeon still wanted to ask Seo Mengxin what she wanted to buy by borrowing 5,000 won.

It's not that she's worried that Xu Mengxin will spend money indiscriminately after borrowing money, after all, Xu Mengxin is so sensible, she hasn't caused trouble to any girl since she came to the dormitory of Girls' Generation.

It's just that she wants to know what she's asking for money for, and maybe Taeyeon can help.

"I've finished folding the colored paper for Xiuying Oni to fold the stars, but I only folded 700 pieces, and I still have 300 pieces left behind, so I want to borrow money from Ernie to buy colored paper......"

Seo Mong-sin seemed to be afraid that Taeyeon would reject her, and when she answered her, she kept her head down and twitched her fingers, which also made Taeyeon a little confused.

She has also seen the colored paper that Xu Mengxin used to stack stars, the paper is not very large, it is a material specially used to make handicrafts, and the price is not very expensive, you can buy 300 pieces for 1,000 won.

But Xu Mengxin opened her mouth to borrow 5,000, and the remaining 4,000 obviously had other uses, and Taeyeon couldn't figure it out.

However, looking at Xu Mengxin's appearance, it seems that her purpose in borrowing money is not for herself, otherwise she would not say that she borrowed it, so Taeyeon wants to find out and see what the little girl wants, maybe she can help her.

"Mengxin, you told Ernie that you want to buy anything other than colored paper?"

"Well......" Xu Mengxin nodded softly, "Yesterday, when Chen Yu sent me back, I saw a cake shop selling cakes in front of the community, which can be bought for only 3,800 yuan, and tomorrow is Xiuying Oni's birthday, so I want to buy that cake for Xiuying Oni......"

It is said that because the business in the store is not very good, and the store manager is more anxious, so he borrowed a loan shark to buy some equipment, and wanted to use the equipment to make cakes with better taste for sale.

But then it still failed, the business of the store has been very bad, and the money owed has to be paid off, the store manager has no choice but to transfer the store, and before the transfer of the store, some of the remaining cakes in the store that have not been sold are put on the lowest price and put them for sale.

Xu Mengxin is only six years old, obviously she doesn't know these things, but when she went to Chen Yu's house yesterday to play with Chen Yuxuan and Chen Yuqi, she happened to see the low-priced cakes sold in this store, so she wrote down the price.

And tomorrow is Xiuying's birthday, but Xu Mengxin is very anxious, not only did the stars not finish folding, but she didn't even have the money to buy a cake for Xiuying, so she thought of borrowing money from Taeyeon.

Five thousand won is just a small amount of money for Taeyeon, which is completely negligible, but it is a huge amount of money for Xu Mengxin, and she is worried here.

Because she had never asked Taeyeon for money, she suddenly asked Taeyeon to borrow 5,000 won, and she was afraid that Taeyeon would refuse her.

And when Taeyeon heard her answer from Seo Mong-sin, she understood.

Although Seo Mengxin said that she wanted to give her a birthday gift without telling Xiuying, Taeyeon never thought that Seo Mengxin would think to such an extent, a six-year-old girl, in order to be able to give a birthday gift to her sister who has been taking care of her, Xu Mengxin, who has always been different from other children who will pester adults to ask for money to buy snacks and toys, opened her mouth to borrow money from her for the first time.

Thinking of this, Taeyeon thinks that she should help Xu Mengxin, let alone borrow 5,000, even if she borrows 50,000, she doesn't care.

It's just to help a very sensible child fulfill her wish, so what about 50,000?

However, Xu Mengxin didn't seem to realize that Taeyeon had decided to help her, and seeing that Taeyeon didn't speak for a while, she thought she didn't want to agree to her, so she was a little anxious and said in a hurry: "Taeyeon Oni, I just want to buy a cake for Xiuying Oni, and I will pay you back the money later." ”

Seeing that Xu Mengxin was very anxious, Taeyeon smiled, gently hugged her into her arms, touched her head and said softly, "Silly girl, Ernie didn't say not to help you." ”

"Really?" This answer surprised Seo Mong-sin because if Taeyeon helped her, she would be able to prepare the gift she was going to give before so-young's birthday.

"Well, when did Ernie lie to you? But don't go to this store to buy the cake, the cake in this store is not very delicious, Ernie will take you to another place tomorrow to buy cakes, that place is Ernie often goes, the taste is very good, and the price is not very expensive. ”

"Okay." After getting the result she wanted, Xu Mengxin finally smiled.

…………

The next day, that is, on Xiuying's birthday, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Xiuying was still busy announcing that she had not returned.

And in the living room, Taeyeon looked at Xu Mengxin, who was already sleepy, and felt a little unbearable, and couldn't help but persuade: "Mengxin, you go to sleep, Xiuying Oni may come back late tonight, you can't hold it until so late." ”

"It's okay Ernie...... Ha ......" just opened his mouth, and the sleepiness couldn't stop flooding, rubbing his already pantothenic eyes, Xu Mengxin replied with a strong spirit: "I will be full of a thousand stars when I am still twenty stars, and I should be able to fill it up for her when Xiuying Oni comes back." ”

"Alas......" Taeyeon found out for the first time that Xu Mengxin had such a persistent character, and she knew that it was useless to persuade her again, but she still couldn't bear to see Xu Mengxin so sleepy that her eyes couldn't open and she was still stacking stars, so after thinking about it, she persuaded her: "Then you can lie on your stomach for a while, and Ernie will wake you up in twenty minutes, Xiuying Oni should be back in a few hours, and you won't delay the stars if you sleep for a while." ”

Children themselves are not as energetic as adults, not to mention that Xu Mengxin is still a girl, and her energy is much worse than that of boys.

And the result of persevering on this day was that Xu Mengxin was about to fall asleep and still couldn't stack a thousand stars, only a few dozen of them.

The little girl's insistence was something Taeyeon didn't expect, so in order to allow her to go to sleep, Taeyeon persuaded her to close her eyes and lie down for a while.

Maybe she was really tired, and Taeyeon had never deceived Xu Mengxin, so Xu Mengxin believed Taeyeon's words, and was afraid that she would delay the stacking of stars before going to bed, and specially told Taeyeon: "After 20 minutes, Ernie you must wake me up, otherwise I won't be satisfied today." ”

"Got it, go to sleep, Ernie will call you later."

Xu Mengxin obediently left the chair where she had sat for a day, returned to her small bed, and fell asleep not long after.

After Seo Mengxin fell asleep, Taeyeon shook her head helplessly, sat in Seo Mengxin's seat, and continued to complete the stars that had not yet been stacked for her.

And at the same time......

“aba…… Does it have to be done? I'm not a victim, can you bear to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of that little business at home? I really don't like him at all. ”

"Xiuying...... I know this decision is a little more difficult for you, but you have to be considerate of ABA, Daewoo Group is already on the verge of bankruptcy, and I finally found a glimmer of hope in my hands, I can't watch it go bankrupt again, right? At present, the loan owed by our family is about to be repaid, if it continues like this, it will not take three months for the group to even pay the most basic wages of employees, and then people will panic, and the group will completely collapse......

"ABA, is business that important? Is money that important? I am your daughter, and you decided to sacrifice me to marry for the sake of your business and bring money for your business, have you ever thought about my feelings about this? ”

Almost hysterically shouted these words, Xiuying closed her eyes deeply, despair enveloped her heart, and a tear silently slipped from the corner of her eye.

"Xiuying...... I...... Just take it as ABA begging you, okay? Jinghao's family background can help us, and it can also help hundreds of people in the group continue to survive, if you don't agree to this marriage, then hundreds of people will have to lose their jobs in a short time......"

"Let me think about it again......" The grievances in her heart grew bigger and bigger, and Xiuying hung up the phone without waiting for her father to finish.

It's late at night, the announcement has just ended, Xiuying should be happy to go home from work, and then see if the sisters have prepared a birthday surprise for themselves, but she didn't want to get a call from her father just after going out, and as soon as she called, she proposed to let her hide for a whole year, so that she could not hide.

And recently, her father has frequently called her to remind her in disguise that Xiuying always pretends to be confused and prevaricates in the past, but she refuses to tell her father her true thoughts positively, until this moment, her father finally said his purpose, and this also makes Xiuying no longer have the opportunity to avoid her father.

My father's request was simple, to quit Girls' Generation and marry Jung Kyung-ho, the successor of the Jeong family, so as to bring in the help of the Jeong family, so that my father's Daewoo Group could continue to operate.

But it is precisely because of this that Xiuying is so repulsive.

Home, she hasn't been back for a long time, and even if she does, she refuses to meet her father as if she is avoiding her father, and she always finds an excuse to go back to the dormitory after staying for long. My sister Xiuzhen has already studied abroad, or rather, she predicted her father's thoughts and deliberately went abroad to study, and she hasn't returned to the country for two years.

And in the dormitory, there is at least a group of sisters who will not make their hearts and eyes benefit from themselves, and it feels much better there than at home, so Xiuying would rather stay in the dormitory than go home.
