Chapter 173: Debt Repayment
Ye Shaochen pursed his lips, but he still couldn't hold back, and said to Jiang Xuemei: "Ning Ning rushed over as soon as she heard the news, she didn't sleep much in the past two days. ”
Before, he was not a person who loved to explain, and he didn't think anything mattered. Whether others accept their own good or not, that's someone else's business, and he knows it in his own heart. I don't understand why some people can't wait to let the world know about a little thing.
Now he understands that it's not that he wants the whole world to see, but that the person who cares doesn't notice. That's why they will find ways to express themselves, not to be praised, but to be noticed.
Just like Ji Ning is now.
She came to take care of Jiang Xuemei, not to get Jiang Xuemei's praise, but she didn't want her efforts to be ignored. If she doesn't say it, Ye Shaochen will naturally help her say it, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.
When Jiang Xuemei heard this, she glanced at Ji Ning. Ji Ning's movements on his hand paused, and he didn't look up at Jiang Xuemei. However, the hand behind her back was slightly stronger, pinching the corners of her clothes tightly, which showed how nervous she was at the moment.
At this moment, no matter how indifferent Ji Ning's performance was, in her heart, she still wanted Jiang Xuemei's approval.
As long as she nods her head, or praises her, it is worth the hardship and tiredness of the past few days.
However, Jiang Xuemei just looked at Ji Ning for a while, and then withdrew her gaze, her tone was a little flat, and it was also a little natural. She said: "She is a sister, and she should bear these things, do you want Mengmeng to accompany me in the hospital?" How can Meng Meng stand it. ”
It's Ji Meng who cares about it.
Ji Ning's hands were tightly pulled together, fortunately, the nails were not long, otherwise the flesh in the palm of the palm would be pierced by the nails. She gritted her teeth, trying to keep herself calm.
He took several deep breaths before a smiling face appeared in front of him. said: "Well, Meng Meng is still young. This is the concept that Jiang Xuemei has always transmitted to her.
Because Ji Meng is still young, and because Ji Meng is her younger sister, many things don't need Ji Meng to deal with. Even if Ji Meng caused something, it was worth forgiving, and she had to let her sister bear the consequences.
And she, because she is an older sister, because she is the only labor force in the family, no matter what she does, she takes it for granted.
Ji Ning has a good temperament, can endure it, and has no regrets over the years. If it was someone else, after marrying someone, he would have long drawn a line and would no longer bear these things.
"It's just that Meng Meng is still studying and doesn't understand anything. It's already pitiful to have no father when I'm a child, and I don't want her to suffer anymore. Jiang Xuemei said with a sigh.
pointed at Ji Ning and said to her, "You call Mengmeng again and ask her to come over." But don't talk about my surgery, just tell her I miss her and ask her to come and see me. ”
When Ji Meng was mentioned, Jiang Xuemei's expression was kind. If there were people who didn't know them here at this moment, they would definitely think that Ji Ning was just an outsider, and Jiang Xuemei only had Ji Meng's daughter.
Ye Shaochen couldn't help frowning, and stepped forward to say something, but was stopped by Ji Ning. Ji Ning didn't have any extra words, only replied to Jiang Xuemei: "Okay." Then he took his phone and went out of the ward.
Ye Shaochen felt that it was too depressing to stay here, so he also took steps to go out. Seeing that Ji Ning was far away from the door of the ward and walked to the end of the corridor, he started to call.
Outside, the sky was gray, with only a glimmer of sunlight. Ji Ning's expression was reflected on the window, looking very lonely, and Ye Shaochen's heart couldn't help but ache.
He thought for a moment and walked over with a light step. didn't call Ji Ning, just watched from behind him. And Ji Ning only focused on the phone, and didn't notice Ye Shaochen's figure on the window.
Ji Meng's mobile phone rang from the mobile phone, and no one answered after listening to it for a while, Ji Ning was in a trance. His eyes looked directly at the dark clouds outside the window, and he was afraid that there would be a heavy rain coming down.
The nearby floors felt like they were already covered in dark clouds, and the glimmer of sunlight that had just been there disappeared all at once, and the whole world dimmed. Just like her mood at the moment, dull, but not raining.
It wasn't until the cold mechanical female voice came from the ringtone of the mobile phone that Ji Ning came back to her senses somewhat. I looked down at the phone screen, but no one answered.
In the past two days, Ji Meng's phone has either been turned off or no one has answered. I didn't reply to her messages, I really don't know what she's doing. Ji Ning was a little angry, and followed the phone number to call again.
But before the call could be dialed out, a call had already come in. In the past, Ji Ning would not answer such strange calls, but now she is looking for Ji Meng, and she happened to call at this point in time. She thought that Ji Meng had changed her mobile phone number, so she picked it up all at once.
But after picking it up, the person on the other side didn't speak, Ji Ning "fed" it several times, and there was only the sound of breathing on the other side, which was very weird. Ji Ning's heart suddenly swelled with an ominous premonition, and her brows tightened.
Ye Shaochen also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and stood by Ji Ning's side. Ask Ji Ning what happened with his eyes. Ji Ning gave him a calm look, which was an answer.
After waiting for a while, the person on the other side didn't speak, and Ji Ning shouted: "Mengmeng? Is that you? ”
The voice fell, and the person on the other side finally had a voice. But it's not Ji Meng's voice, it's a man's voice. The voice is a little gruff and harsh.
"Are you Ji Meng's relative?" The person on the other side asked.
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and her heart became vigilant: "Who are you?" How did you know Ji Meng? He didn't rush to answer the other party's questions, but put himself in the active position.
The other party obviously didn't expect Ji Ning's vigilance to be so high, and he was taken aback. But they have seen all kinds of people, and they are naturally fearless. So he said in a vicious voice: "Ji Meng owes us money, of course we know her." ”
"Owe money?" Ji Ning caught the point, and his voice subconsciously raised a degree. Of course she won't believe this, she gave enough money to Ji Meng every month, how could Ji Meng owe money outside.
As soon as he thought about it, he knew that it was a scam call, and Ji Ning hung up without thinking about it. raised his head and said to Ye Shaochen: "Over the years, the acting skills of liars have really become more and more exquisite. She smiled mockingly.
If she hadn't known that Ji Meng wouldn't owe money, she would have almost been deceived.
Ye Shaochen held Ji Ning's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about such a trivial matter, don't think so much, rest well." He was used to such calls, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with them.
But the call just now came in persistently, and after Ji Ning hung up a few times, they didn't give up. Finally they sent a text message.
The content of the text message was: "Can't you find Ji Meng? Can't get through on the phone? If so, don't worry, he's here. ”
Then the other party sent a photo.
It was a photo of Ji Meng and her classmates, two people standing in a dark corner. Although they were not tied up, and there was no rubber strip on their mouths, the faces of the two people were all frightened.
Obviously, these two people are under control. No wonder Ji Ning has been unable to contact Ji Meng, it turns out that she is in danger.
Ji Ning's face sank, and he quickly called the other party back: "What do you want?" ”
"It's nothing, as long as I pay off all the money Ji Meng owes, I will naturally let him go." The other party said with a sneer. didn't forget to remind Ji Ning: "The money she owes is not a small amount, and she still can't pay it back, so we can only let her pay it back with her body." ”
The threat was so obvious that Ji Ning's hand couldn't help but tighten. Calmly warn them: "If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, I advise you not to act rashly. If you can find me, you should know who I am. ”
In the last sentence, her cold breath startled Ye Shaochen next to her. Ji Ning was really angry, Ye Shaochen believed that Ji Ning did what he said.
The other party must have known Ji Ning's identity, and he was also taken aback. It's not because of Ji Ning's identity, but because of her aura, which makes several people listening to the phone shudder. The feeling of numbness in the scalp scares them more than being directly injured.
So soon, the other party changed his attitude and his tone was much better: "Of course, we won't do anything illegal." Everyone is out to eat, as long as the money is paid off, we don't care about anything. ”
"Okay, how much does Mengmeng owe you, I'll pay it back." Ji Ning also compromised.
Ye Shaochen on the side frowned and asked Ji Ning: "Aren't you afraid that the other party is a liar?" "It doesn't seem good to give money so easily, they don't even know what Ji Meng is like now.
Ji Ning hung up the phone, leaned against the wall weakly, and said, "I won't lie." She knows what Ji Meng's temperament is, and she spends money lavishly, so it's not surprising that she really went out to borrow money.
And Ji Ning observed the tone of these people just now, as well as the photos just now, and knew that this was true. If it's fake, the other party won't be afraid of her.
sighed, and the wry smile on his lips became more and more obvious. She glanced at Ye Shaochen and moved her mouth, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was complaining to Ye Shaochen. She said, "Shao Chen, I'm so tired. ”
Not physically tired, but psychological.
This phone call is even harder than her sleepless days and three nights in the hospital.
This sentence was like a bayonet, piercing Ye Shaochen's heart, and he was very distressed. hugged Ji Ning in his arms, rubbed her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, with me, I'm by your side, I won't make you too tired." ”
Fortunately, Ji Ning has him, otherwise Ye Shaochen would not be able to imagine how Ji Ning would face so many things by himself. Even if it were him, he would feel at a loss, but Ji Ning was so calm.
