The shopping mall is treacherous, and the upper class of the whole city is like a ghost, unable to distinguish between joy and anger, and only goes for money.

From the front door of the Mu family, I don't know what type of gossip became cold.

"The Mu family is completely decayed, and they make a living by borrowing usury......"

"Old Man Mu was cut off by the creditor..."

"The film and television company invested by the Mu family's daughter has not yet made achievements and has been burdened with tens of millions of debts, which is very cold..."

Mu Chengcheng moved back home from the apartment in order to accompany the second elder.

Mu's father and mother were never extravagant, and they still lived in the courtyard of the publishing house, a three-story small western-style building built by their grandfather.

Although the decoration is outdated, it can stand the test of time, and every piece of solid wood furniture has been polished by Mu's mother.

Originally, this small western-style building was full of laughter and laughter every day, some came to play mahjong with Mu's mother, and there were also those who talked with Mu's father, but now in addition to Uncle Ma, who helped take care of the green plants in the front yard, there were only two old people sitting in the study and sighing.

Mu's father, who had quit smoking for many years, smoked again, took a puff or two, and coughed constantly.

Mu Chengcheng went over and pinched it off without saying a word, and looked at his father who raised him silently.

The eyes that had been through the vicissitudes of life only went into a trance twice, and then drooped.

"Undertaking.... It's Dad, I'm sorry for you.... I lost all your grandfather's property, and I didn't leave you anything, but I owed a lot of debt..."

Mu Chengcheng has always been calm and rational, but he saw that the energetic father shook the somewhat dry branches pitifully like a tree about to fall.

Mu Chengcheng was completely defeated.

She hugged Mu's father and comforted: "Dad, you forgot, you still have an acquisition that has not been completed, if the acquisition of that technology company goes smoothly, the dozen patents belong to you, you can apply for bank loans, you can also take the investment of professional funds, to authorize, to build factories, to put into production, you will do better than grandpa...."

Mu Chengcheng sketched the future little by little: "Isn't there still the Lan family?" The Lan family has a big business, they won't let it go anyway, don't worry, I will communicate with Lan Chaojin well, Dad, you have to cheer up, you are not old yet, the Mu family still needs you..."

Mu Chengcheng's voice was soft and gentle, sliding past Mu's father's ears like a nursery rhyme.

The old man cried, his shoulders trembling: "You're right, you're right, this is bottoming out...."

Mu Chengcheng smiled warmly: "Well, if you don't come to Jitai, our blessings are behind...."

....................

"Bang!" Before the sound fell, a loud noise came from the first floor.

Mu Chengcheng immediately sent Mu's father to run to the spiral staircase, and when he crossed the railing, he saw Mu's mother fall in a puddle of water stains.

Mu Chengcheng ran over and saw that there were two middle-aged women standing at the entrance, with cold eyebrows.

"When will I pay it back? If I knew, how could your family repay you with so much debt! Pingping, I just know you for more than ten years, and I trust you after playing mahjong for more than ten years, how can you bear to deceive your old friend like this? ”

Mu Chengcheng naturally knows these two people, they are his mother's card friends, and they are the closest friends who followed his mother during the heyday of the Mu family, but he doesn't want to, people's hearts are easy to cool, and turning their faces is faster than turning a book.

"Aunt Qian, Aunt Li..." Mu Chengcheng helped Mu Mu to stand up, and let out a polite smile: "How much does my mother owe you?" I'll pay it back...."

used to be flattering and friendly eyes, but now they have become blind, and their whole body is revealing the meaning of stepping on high and belittling: "Chengcheng, don't blame Auntie, no one is having a good time these days, we each gave your mother 100,000 yuan, not much, how can you give it?" ”

Mu Chengcheng took out his mobile phone: "I can give it now, I hope you can apologize to my mother after the transfer, you are such a bad friend, it is not right to ridicule her, and it is even more wrong to push her..."

Another thin woman spoke: "Yo, Chengcheng, are you talking to the elders like this?" Right and wrong, we know in our hearts, that night my grandson had a high fever, and when he received a call from your mother, he hurriedly called and asked us to apologize? ”

"Aunt Chen..."

"Chengcheng....." Mu Mu grabbed Mu Chengcheng's arm, lowered her eyes and shook her head: "Forget it..... If you have money, give it to them first..."

Mu Chengcheng glanced back at his tired mother, so he had to give up, bowed his head and transferred the money, and by the way, he blocked the contact information of the two middle-aged women.

Mu Chengcheng raised his head and looked at them: "Aunt Qian, if I'm not mistaken, the jade on your neck was given to you by my mother, right?" We don't want to send you now, please give it back to me. ”

Mu Chengcheng spread out his palms and stared at the woman in front of him without humility or arrogance.

The middle-aged woman looked as embarrassed as if she had eaten a fly: "Who said that this was given to me by your mother, so much of my jade must be sent by your mother, besides, if you send it, you will send it, and there is a reason to go back?" It's really a poor sour person who has a poor sour appearance, let's go, since the money has been returned, don't meet you when you go out in the future, I'm ashamed! ”

The middle-aged woman turned around and pulled her companion away, Mu Chengcheng grabbed her collar, pulled off the jade necklace, and stared at her viciously: "If you are shameless, I can make you even more embarrassed, tell you, don't come to my mother again in the future, you can't approach half a step!" ”

The woman seemed to want to shout, but maybe Mu Chengcheng's eyes were too scary, so she gave up and left.

After they left, Mu Chengcheng grinned and smiled lightly: "This jadeite is worth more than 100,000 yuan after it is sold, why give it to her!" Mom, we're not angry...."

Mu Mu smiled bitterly, holding back her tears and leaning on Mu Chengcheng's shoulder: "Good daughter, you have suffered....."

At this moment, Mu Chengcheng's mobile phone lit up, she frowned and pursed her lips tightly.

"What's wrong?" Mu Mu was sensitive to it and asked.

"Chu Qi asked me to borrow money, but I..." Mu Chengcheng opened his WeChat wallet and Alipay, and the total amount of zero and zero added up to only a few thousand yuan.

"What then? Why don't you sell this jade to Miss Achu? "Mu's heart is compassionate and always comforting others.

Mu Chengcheng shook his head comfortingly: "From now on, you put away all your jewelry, I will work hard to make money, you and Dad may be bitter for a while, Chu Qi, you don't have to worry, it is estimated that she has a new bag in her eye, I told her, it's okay...."

.........................

An autumn afternoon is a scorching sun.

Only the light is warm, but it is no longer warm.

Chu Qi nestled in the apartment, and a man in a black jacket stood in front of her.

Where the backlight is lit, you can't see the appearance clearly.

Only Chu Qi's trembling voice said: "How can you let me go, I gave you all the money....."

"Miss Chu Qi, I said it a long time ago, someone wants to teach you a lesson, and we can't help it..."

The demon pounced on Chu Qi in the corner.

The finger marks scratch the floor tiles one by one.
