Summer

S City, the high temperature of 40 degrees, the whole city is like a huge steamer, people will sweat profusely after staying outside for a while.

In front of a building with more than 30 floors, a tall girl stood in the scorching sun. She looked up at the thirty-story building in front of her, took a deep breath, and stepped into the building as if she had broken out.

A month ago

"I can only grace it until the end of this month!" Some middle-aged landlady wives crossed their hands on their hips and frowned at the ultimatum.

"Thank you so much!" Xia Yongning breathed a sigh of relief, and sincerely bowed at ninety degrees to express her gratitude.

The landlady with curly hair looked at her with disgust, turned to leave, and after walking a few steps, she didn't forget to turn back and say: "It's the end of this month, and if you can't pay the rent by then, don't blame me for kicking you out!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Xia Yongning, who was smiling like a flower, nodded violently.

Seeing her back disappear at the door, Xia Yongning closed the door, leaned against the door weakly, restrained the smile on her lips, and raised her hand to rub her tired eyebrows.

Xia Yongning, who just turned twenty-three years old two months ago, was fired by her boss on her birthday, no, she should have fired her boss squid, because of the impulse to lose a job with a good salary, she is still a little annoyed, if she had a different way of refusing at that time, she might not have lost her job, and she would not have no money to pay the rent now.

It's just that at that time, she heard the boss who had sparse hair on the top of her head, but combed all day long, said that she wanted to support her, she was angry, impulsive is always faster than reason, and when she reacted, the table in front of her had already been slapped by her: "The old lady is gone!" ”

I don't know how she could attract the attention of the boss when she is usually so low-key? On a hot day, she also wears a pair of trousers and a T-shirt, dressed more than passers-by.

Xia Yongning shook her head and didn't think much about it anymore, now it's important to find a job first, she put on her black-framed 'big' glasses again, and went out to look for a job, fortunately her grandmother is not at home, otherwise she will have to worry about the rent again, and she will find a job today no matter what.

Under the scorching sun, Xia Yongning ran around various companies with her resume, and every time she came out dejected.

At this time, the mobile phone in the bag vibrate, Xia Yongning hurriedly opened the zipper of the bag to find the mobile phone, her slender and white fingers pushed the frame between the bridge of her nose, took out the mobile phone and looked at the unfamiliar number on it, she frowned slightly, and her fingers gently slid over the answer button on the mobile phone screen: "Hey..."

Xia Yongning's face turned pale instantly, her breathing seemed to be choked, and her fingers holding the phone were still trembling.

The next second, she ran to the opposite road regardless of the traffic coming and going.

An emergency brake and a sharp and piercing sound of ground and tires grinding.

"You crazy woman is dead!" A young man poked his head out of the car in a very angry tone, and his subordinates kept honking the horn, but the woman was gone, and the big boss sat behind him.

The man in the back seat who was looking down at the information in his hand had a cold look in his eyes, and a faint voice came from his thin lips: "I have a meeting to start in ten minutes!" ”

"Yes, boss!" Only then did the driver remove the anger in his eyes, step on the accelerator and drive in the direction of the company.

Inside the hospital

Xia Yongning just received a call from the hospital, saying that her grandmother suddenly fainted and is now in emergency treatment.

"Uncle Wang, how is my grandmother!" The place she just had just now was not far from the hospital, and Xia Yongning, who had run all the way, looked a little embarrassed, her hair stuck to the sides of her cheeks, and her breathing was still a little unsteady.

The doctor's face was a little heavy: "You have to operate as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"What surgery?" Xia Yongning was confused, her grandmother only had a physical examination two months ago, and said that she was very healthy!

"Two months ago, your grandmother was diagnosed with a recurrence of a brain tumor, if you don't have surgery, I'm afraid..."

"Yongning!" The doctor, who was called Uncle Wang, helped Xia Yongning who almost fell in time.

"Please Uncle Wang help my grandmother arrange the operation as soon as possible!" Xia Yongning's hands holding Dr. Wang's arms were trembling slightly.

"Yongning, this operation is very risky, so I will invite a foreign doctor to perform the surgery, so this operation will require a lot of money!"

Her eyes were red, and she bit her lower lip: "I will go and find a way, please Uncle Wang to help grandma arrange surgery as soon as possible!" "She can't even pay the rent, so where will she raise the money for the surgery? Xia Yongning only felt that the sky was going to kill her, and her grandmother was her only relative, if her grandmother was really... She can't live anymore, no matter what method she can do to save her grandmother, she is willing to do anything, even if it is to beg that person!

Xia Yongning looked at her grandmother with an oxygen mask in the intensive care ward, her eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, she sniffed, trying not to let the tears swirling in her eyes fall, reached out and gently covered the back of her hand with old age spots but could bring her warmth, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Grandma, you must get better!" ”

Desperate, she can only borrow money from that person now, and there is no more reluctance in her heart, but she has no choice.

In the evening, the hall of the Lin family was brightly lit, but it was also silent, and Xia Yongning, who was sitting on the sofa, was the first to break the silence: "Can you lend me a million?" She said that she would never step here, and now she is borrowing money from all over the place, she thinks how can she be so spineless, but in front of her grandmother's health, what are those ridiculous self-esteem?

The middle-aged man with a straight face, his fingers knocked on the armrest of the sofa for a while, and he slowly spoke after a while: "If you didn't come to borrow money, wouldn't you never come to see my father?" ”

The middle-aged man in front of him is Xia Yongning's father Lin Guanghuan, who made the mistakes that most men would make when he was young, raising a junior and an illegitimate daughter, all the same.

The difference is that others raised the mistress outside, but Lin Guanghuan was raised at home, as for why he came to the house, it was all thanks to the help of Lin Guanghuan's brothers and sisters, and finally forced Xia Yongning's mother to go missing, and the young Xia Yongning has since lived a life of being bullied by the junior and his illegitimate daughter.

This kind of day didn't end completely until Xia Yongning's grandmother picked her up. So in Xia Yongning's heart, her grandmother is her only relative, and she is also the most important person!

She didn't want to deny what Lin Guanghuan said, but she wasn't stupid enough to admit it, so Xia Yongning chose to remain silent.

"That's not a small amount! Although our family says that there are some family businesses, the money is not blown by the wind, and if you say throw out a million, you will throw out a million! The woman sitting next to Lin Guanghuan clasped her hands around her chest and laughed sarcastically, this woman is the shameless junior who forced the main room away back then, Tian Fei!

Xia Yongning frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Lin Guanghuan: "I will pay back this money!" Although she was unhappy, she didn't want to say anything unpleasant, and she couldn't quarrel with her for a while, and then the trip would be in vain.

"Also? What are you going to use yet? Relying on your salary of only 2,000 yuan a month? Tian Fei sneered, as if he had heard a big joke.

Xia Yongning's fingers gradually tightened, and she couldn't refute this woman's words, because she really couldn't afford to rely on her simple salary!

If she had a choice, she would never open her mouth to borrow money from him, let alone have a half-dime relationship with the Lin family!

"Say less!" Lin Guanghuan reprimanded Tian Fei, turned his head and said to Xia Yongning: "I'll think about it!" ”

Xia Yongning frowned: "I'm really in a hurry!" Grandma's surgery can't be delayed, doctors from abroad can't be invited at any time, and if you can't raise money before the day after tomorrow, the operation can't be done..."

"Your father said to think about it, don't bother him, there have been enough things in the company recently!" Tian Fei interrupted Xia Yongning's words with an impatient look, and she knew that Xia Yongning's appearance would be fine!

Xia Yongning gave her a cold look, she really couldn't bear it anymore in this way, not only was a junior not ashamed, but she was so reasonable, if she could, she wanted to slap her, she borrowed money from Lin Guanghuan and was about her!

"Don't look at me like this, you said that it was your grandmother and what does it have to do with us, not to mention that my husband only has one daughter, her surname is Lin, and you... Scold! She raised one eyebrow high, and her sharp eyes seemed to be about to break Xia Yongning's body into pieces.

Her purpose is to borrow money, and she can only endure this woman's words, Xia Yongning's fingers clenched into fists pinched into the palm of her hand.

After Xia Yongning was picked up, even the name and surname were all changed, so when it came to the surname, Lin Guanghuan, who was already iron-faced, became even more ugly.

Seeing this, Tian Fei was even more embarrassed, first sneered and then said: "You are now a foreigner, why are you embarrassed to borrow money from our Lin family, your grandmother has nothing to do with us at every turn, whether she dies or lives is fate, the king of Hades let her die in the third watch, and she can't live in the fifth watch!" She also specially emphasized the two words of the Lin family, and after speaking, she smiled provocatively at Xia Yongning, who had already endured to the limit.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" Lin Guanghuan, who was silent, spoke at the right time, and turned to go upstairs after speaking.

Facing his back, Xia Yongning pulled her tightly pursed lips: "Okay, I'll wait for news tomorrow!" Please! ”

Such polite words, it really doesn't seem like a father and daughter, Lin Guanghuan's steps paused slightly, and it was fake that he was not chilling at Xia Yongning in his heart.

Xia Yongning didn't want to stay in this place for an extra minute, so she glanced at the woman coldly and turned to leave.

Tian Fei grabbed Xia Yongning's wrist and dragged him to the door, and shook it vigorously: "Don't come if you don't have anything to do in the future!" ”

Xia Yongning raised her eyes and glanced at her, and coldly hooked the corners of her lips: "It's up to Lin Guanghuan to decide whether to come or not!" ”

"Don't forget that you and your unproductive mother were kicked out by me, what else is in this family that I can't count!" Tian Fei's voice was raised by Xia Yongning's voice by an octave.

Xia Yongning clenched her fists and glared at Tian Fei, she was afraid that she couldn't help but raise her hand and fan it, if she did that, she really couldn't borrow a million!

Tian Fei looked at the way she tried her best to endure it, not to mention how happy she was, and said with a sarcastic smile on her face: "You can really bear it for the sake of money, but... You're just like your unproductive mom! Tian Fei glanced at her and slammed the door shut.

After a long time, her clenched fists gradually loosened, and the palms that had been pinched into the flesh by her nails looked so shocking.

Walking on the way home in despair, the position of her chest was like a big stone, and she couldn't breathe, her only hope now was that Lin Guanghuan could lend her money tomorrow.

When she raised her eyes, the red Porsche parked under the street lamp was particularly conspicuous, because the place she rented was a small bungalow that had not yet been demolished, and such good cars were rare in normal times.

Xia Yongning retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward, but it seemed that the car was parked at the door of her house, and a tall man got out of the car after approaching, and it should be about one meter eighty-five, and his long figure was pulled out of a long dark shadow under the dim street lamp.

Bypassing the man, he lowered his head and took out the key from his bag, and when he turned the key and pushed the door into the house, a faint and nice voice sounded from behind him.

"Xia Yongning!"
