"If your boyfriend refuses to pay you back, you can only exchange that "Han Xizai's Night Banquet". Otherwise, your brother will lose more than just a finger. ”

"That can't be." Mu Qingcheng was shocked, "That painting has been sealed in the cultural relics storehouses of other museums, even if I want to steal it, there is no way." ”

"Pay the money or hand over the painting, you choose the same for yourself, as for what method you use, I don't care, in short, think about it quickly, I will call you again at 12 o'clock tonight." Also, remember, if this matter is known to the police, I will make your brother die a terrible death. Jim left the sentence behind mercilessly and hung up.

"How's it going?" Zhang Yingxia hurriedly asked, "What painting did he say, did he say that he could use the painting to pay for it, then you should send it to someone quickly!" ”

Mu Jianzhong also stared at Mu Qingcheng nervously.

"He said Guangzong owes 10 million gambling debts?" Mu Qingcheng still couldn't believe this fact, "How could Guangzong know that person, and how could he owe him so many gambling debts?" ”

"How do I know what's going on, how many times I've told him not to gamble, he just won't listen." Zhang Yingxia didn't have any idea at all except crying, "I haven't come back tonight, I called and turned off the phone, and then I received a call from that person, asking me to open the door and get something, there was a small iron box outside the door, and when I opened it, there was a bloody finger inside, which scared me so much that I almost fainted." Then the phone came again, in a very strange voice, saying to let Guangzong talk to me. Guangzong is so painful that it is difficult to speak, my poor son, he is in debt for gambling, his little finger has been chopped off, and people are also locked up, and he has to pay off the money before he can be released......"

"Alright, don't be verbose." Mu Jianzhong interrupted Zhang Yingxia and shouted at Mu Qingcheng, "The money is owed, it's useless to say more, what does the other party want, you send it over quickly, just let Guangzong come back, put the broken finger in the refrigerator, and connect it as soon as possible, otherwise you will become a cripple." ”

Mu Qingcheng's heart was cold, her younger brother made a mistake, but it became her responsibility, and she had to bear it for him unconditionally, no matter whether she had the ability to get that painting or 10 million, they thought that she had a big sum of money, and she could take out 10 million casually, and they didn't take into account her difficulties at all. Although she can understand their heart-to-heart to save their children, and has long experienced their partiality for many years, she still feels heartache, which also makes her feel like she is at the end of the road. It's impossible for her not to save her brother, but how can she save it? It is absolutely impossible to use paintings to pay off debts, so she has only one way to go, that is, to ask Cheng Yijie for money, 10 million may not be a large amount for him, but he said when he gave Zhang Yingxia 100,000 yuan last time, even if he becomes her son-in-law in the future, he has no obligation to repay his brother-in-law's debts. What's more, she is still very hesitant and hesitant about whether to marry him.

"Go ahead, what are you doing here!" Zhang Yingxia urged impatiently.

"Where to go?" Mu Qingcheng asked blankly.

"Of course it's to find a way to save your brother!" Zhang Yingxia actually rushed over and pushed Mu Qingcheng out of the door, "You give me to go immediately, no matter what method you use, you must save your brother back." I'm such a son, if something happens to him, don't think about it! ”

Mu Qingcheng was vigorously pushed out of the door, staggered a few steps before standing firmly, and Zhang Yingxia threw her bag out again. The door slammed behind her, sending her head dizzy and her heart cramping. She leaned against the wall, grief and helplessness like a huge net enveloping her head.

The mobile phone ringtone suddenly came out of the bag, Mu Qingcheng squatted down, opened the bag that was thrown to the ground, and took out the mobile phone. Her hands trembled violently, thinking it was Jim asking for something. When she looked at the caller ID, it was Cheng Yijie, and her tears poured out all of a sudden.

She controlled her emotions and said "hey". Cheng Yijie still heard her abnormality. "What's the matter, is Jim getting you in trouble again?"

She was amazed at his acuity, and knew that it was impossible to hide it from him, so she took a deep breath and told him what had happened.

"You wait at home, I'll come right over." After Cheng Yijie asked for the address, he hung up the phone.

Mu Qingcheng didn't tell him that she was kicked out of the house. If her parents knew that Cheng Yijie was coming, they would definitely let her in the door, but she didn't want to face her eccentric parents now, so she went down a flight of stairs and stood at the corner of the stairs below to wait, she looked up at the sky, there was a crescent moon in the sky, hanging alone. She watched and watched, and the sorrow came from it, and it couldn't be stopped. She propped her elbows on the guardrail, held her chin in her hands, and stared blankly at the night sky, tears rolling down.

Cheng Yijie didn't know when he had come to her side and put his hand on her shoulder. She was suddenly startled, and when she saw Cheng Yijie, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Cheng Yijie looked at her with a very gentle eye, and his tone was surprisingly gentle: "If you want to cry, cry!" If you hold it like this, you will get sick! Cry heartily, and then cheer up, let's discuss how to solve your brother's matter. ”

Mu Qingcheng raised his tearful eyes and looked at Cheng Yijie, and the pain in his heart came up like a mountain and a sea. She bit her lip, strained her sobs, and didn't say a word.

"You don't have to hide your tears in front of me at all!" Cheng Yijie's tone became more gentle, and his eyes were as clear as water, "Or, if you have anything to say to me, just say it, I'm happy to listen." ”

"I ...... I ......" Mu Qingcheng finally opened his mouth: "I really ...... It's so sad...... I don't know what to do......" she whimpered.

Cheng Yijie's heart was hot, he had expected how the disgusting pair of parents would embarrass her, making her so lonely and helpless that she couldn't even enter the house. How could her weak shoulders withstand such a heavy pain? He stretched out his arms and took her into his arms, and whispered, "Little orange......"

Hearing his soft voice like this, Mu Qingcheng fell into the crook of his arm and cried bitterly. This cry, although I couldn't cry enough to be sad in my heart, finally stopped the pain to the bone.

Cheng Yijie gently patted her. "I said, don't worry, I'll protect you. If you can trust me, leave this matter to me. ”

Mu Qingcheng raised his head and stared at him with a pair of teary eyes. "Will you help me get my brother back?"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he comes back safely." Cheng Yijie solemnly promised, "Let's go, go and meet your parents, so that they can rest assured." ”

Mu Qingcheng wiped away his tears and rang the doorbell again. Zhang Yingxia opened the door and saw Mu Qingcheng coming back, she was so angry that she was about to scold, and when she caught a glimpse of Cheng Yijie behind her, she suddenly stopped.

"Hello, auntie." Although Cheng Yijie was disgusted with Zhang Yingxia, he still showed due politeness, "I have heard about Brother Qingcheng's affairs. ”

"It's good to hear about it." Zhang Yingxia couldn't wait to say, "10 million, people like us can't afford it, you know......"

"I know." Cheng Yijie interrupted her, "This 10 million, I will come out." ”

Zhang Yingxia didn't expect Cheng Yijie to agree so happily, just with a happy face, his later words made her face pale again, "But please don't forget, I said last time, if you don't take it as an example, gambling is illegal, and I won't encourage this unhealthy trend." Even if I become your son-in-law in the future, I have no obligation to repay my brother-in-law's debts. ”

Zhang Yingxia's face became more and more ugly. "What do you mean by that?" She asked angrily, "I just said that I wanted to pay, and now I say that I don't have this obligation, are you playing with us!" Don't say anything illegal or crooked, I don't understand. I only know that my daughter has been asleep by you for so long, and now that our family is in trouble, you should take some money, and it has nothing to do with obligations. ”

Cheng Yijie frowned, and he glanced at Mu Qingcheng, who was looking at him with pleading eyes, as if he was apologizing to him on behalf of his mother. He wanted to teach Zhang Yingxia a few words, but this wordless speech softened him, he turned his head, sighed lowly, and said: "I have always done what I say, and I will not pay off your debts for your uncompetitive son." But I also said that when we officially talk about marriage, the dowry I give will definitely satisfy you. This 10 million yuan is the dowry money I gave, as for how to spend this money, it is your freedom, if you want to use it to save your son, of course I have no opinion. ”

Zhang Yingxia was stunned by this, in this way, wouldn't she get a penny of the bride price! Her face was even more ugly, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it, so she could only vent her unwillingness and resentment on Mu Qingcheng, she kept rushing to Mu Qingcheng, pointed at her with her finger, and said angrily: "Is it your bad idea from this dead girl, let him use the bride price as money to pay off debts." Eat things inside and out, are you so cheap and worthless? ”

Mu Qingcheng didn't make a sound, her face was very pale, and her pair of jet-black eyes looked particularly black. She looked at Zhang Yingxia and then at Cheng Yijie, with a painful look in her eyes.

"It's my own idea, and Kiyomi doesn't know at all." Cheng Yijie walked over and protected Mu Qingcheng behind him, neither humble nor arrogant, "Is there anything wrong with my arrangement?" 10 million bride price is not a small amount, right? If there are no opinions, my marriage with Qingcheng will be decided. If there is an opinion, we can negotiate slowly and make a decision another day. ”

Cheng Yijie's words were already a little threatening, but Zhang Yingxia still hesitated.

Mu Jianzhong couldn't look at it, and stepped to her side, his face was not good-looking, and he was also dissatisfied with Cheng Yijie's practice of using the bride price to pay off debts. But he knows that he is at a loss, and he understands that he is controlled by others at this time, and where is their share of speaking. "Okay, don't say it anymore, being able to get my son out is more important than anything else."
