Chapter 168 Debt Collection
Time flies, and Hong Kong is bustling and busy as the New Year approaches.
Recently, everyone has been busy. Li Mubai has been busy preparing for the audition. Jiang Li's dubbing work has been very smooth and is gradually coming to an end. Wang Jingke is on his own this year and is preparing for the new year's jewelry dinner. Even Wang Jingruo is so busy that he has no time to rest. I heard that he recently started a new sideline business and is determined to be the best in Hong Kong. So he has been so busy that he hasn't come to Li Mubai for a long time. This makes Li Mubai very satisfied. Li Mubai sincerely hopes that Wang Jingruo's new sideline business will be prosperous and crowded, so that he can stop being an eyesore in front of him. Li Yunze and Li Xingmu are both busy dating. Everyone is busy and happy. Zhu Li is probably the only one who is frowning.
Looking at the two black and white cats playing together, Zhu Li's brows were furrowed so much that they looked like a small mountain. Fu Jingchi said he would come and get it when he was free, but it has been such a long time, why hasn't he come yet?
He won’t not come, will he?
That’s not possible! Is it possible that you can’t find her contact information?
Hey!
At least I should have left a phone number.
Just when I was feeling depressed, the doorbell rang "ding ding ding", scaring the two cats so much that they stopped fighting and stood still.
Julie glanced at the clock on the wall and wondered, there were so few visitors here, who could be here so late at night?
Could it be that you really can’t talk about people during the day and can’t talk about ghosts at night, so Fu Jingchi came to find you?
Zhu Li walked over quickly, but as soon as she looked through the peephole, she was a little disappointed. The person standing outside the door was not Fu Jingchi, but her unlucky brother. She didn't know why he came here so late at night.
The light at the door was dim, so Zhu Li didn't see clearly at first. When she opened the door, she found that Zhu Tianbao was pale, his eyes and mouth were disfigured, and he was still shaking slightly.
"How did you..."
Before she finished asking the question, Zhu Li felt something was wrong. Suddenly, several people walked out from the side. The one in front suddenly pushed Zhu Tianbao and pushed him directly into the door. Zhu Li staggered after being knocked by Zhu Tianbao, but fortunately she was leaning against the wall, so both of them did not fall to the ground. When she looked up again, the people outside the door had already rushed in, some of them with cigarettes in their mouths, some of them with knives in their hands, standing in her living room looking around.
Zhu Li pushed Zhu Tianbao, who was still standing there stupidly, aside and shouted coldly, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
The man standing in the front turned around and sneered, "Who? The creditor."
Zhu Li glanced at Zhu Tianbao coldly, and seeing his evasive eyes, her heart was colder than ice.
After just one look, Zhu Li didn't want to look anymore. She turned to look at the group of people who came with bad intentions and said, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. I, Zhu Li, have never borrowed money from you."
The leader walked to Zhu Li's bookshelf, picked up a decoration on the bookshelf and looked at it, then said lazily: "You don't have it, but your brother Zhu Tianbao does."
"He is him, I am me. If he owes you money, you can just ask him for it. Why are you looking for me?"
The man turned to Julie and said with a smile, "But he said you are his sister, so you should help him pay it back."
Zhu Li also laughed coldly and said, "I'm sorry, my wishful thinking was wrong. I don't have that much ability."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianbao suddenly burst into tears and rushed over: "Sister! Sister! You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
"Woo woo, sister, I am your brother, I am your dear brother!"
"If I die, who will be your child's uncle in the future?"
Zhu Li doesn't even have a boyfriend, so who cares about him being her uncle? But Zhu Tianbao cried so miserably that even Zhu Li, who had originally planned to do nothing, felt a little bit sorry for him.
"How much do you owe?"
Before Zhu Tianbao could speak, the leader said, "Eight hundred thousand."
When Zhu Li heard this, her eyes almost popped out: "800,000! You borrowed so much?"
Zhu Tianbao whispered, "No, not that much. I borrowed 500,000 yuan, and the other 300,000 yuan is interest...interest..."
A few days ago, Zhu Tianbao went to Macau with his friends. At the beginning, he won a lot of money. Zhu Tianbao got more and more addicted to gambling, but slowly, his luck changed and he lost no matter how he gambled. Zhu Tianbao was so angry that he borrowed high-interest loans from the casino. When he came back, he found that he had lost more than one million. Zhu Tianbao lost all the money for home decoration and borrowed a lot of money from friends, but he still owed more than 500,000. This debt of 500,000 turned into 800,000 in less than a month!
Zhu Li almost choked up after hearing this. What kind of loan sharking is this? !
Eight hundred thousand!
Where did she find so much money?!
Even if she asks the company to lend her money, the company may not be willing to help! Just when she was still hesitating whether to help or not, Zhu Tianbao's eyes lit up and said, "Sister, I know this is a lot of money, but don't many people want to have dinner with you? Just go and have a few meals, and you will have money, right?"
When Zhu Li heard this, her compassion instantly turned cold. She quickly gave up the idea of being a savior and directly pulled away Zhu Tianbao's hand.
How could she... how could she still be soft-hearted towards her family? When had these so-called family members ever stood in her shoes and thought about her? They all just wanted to eat her up and even wanted to sell her off. Even if she really sacrificed herself, they would think it was natural and would not feel the slightest bit of guilt or gratitude.
Thinking of this, Zhu Li's face turned cold and her heart turned cold. She said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't have money. I can't help you with this."
When Zhu Tianbao heard this, his expression changed: "Sister! Sister! You can't not help me! Please, please!"
"If you don't help me, they will beat me to death!"
The leader looked Zhu Li up and down and sneered, "Stars are stars, their auras are stronger than others. However, I advise you not to be stubborn. If you don't pay the debt, in a few days, the news that Zhu Li didn't pay the debt will be on the headlines of major news magazines. By then, Miss Zhu will be infamous, which will not benefit anyone. It is said that if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about the lack of firewood. But for a mere 800,000 yuan, Miss Zhu will be back after filming a few movies, right?"
"Three days later, at Fujing Restaurant, if Miss Zhu doesn't come, you'll have to wait for him to collect his body!"
After saying that, Zhu Tianbao was dragged away by them. The shouting sounds first came from the living room, then from the corridor, and then, no one knew whether he was beaten or kicked, and soon it became silent.
Looking at the open door and the cigarette butts on the floor of the living room, Julie felt that all the strength had been drained from her body.
Not long after the group of people left, Zhu Li's mother came and cried and made a fuss in her house, asking her to find a way to raise money, saying that she couldn't live without Zhu Tianbao.
"Lili, you really have to think of a way. Tianbao can't be in trouble! Give the money away if it's necessary. As long as you have money, you won't have to worry about it. Our Zhu family will still rely on Tianbao in the future!"
I will have to rely on Tianbao in the future...
At this moment, Julie just wanted to say "Damn"!
Then just rely on him, why are you arguing with her now?
Zhu Li's mother was really noisy. The group of people who came over just now were not as noisy as her. She was shouting so loudly that the neighbors next door couldn't bear it anymore and came over to complain. Zhu Li quickly took the opportunity to drive her away.
Since they moved in, it was the first time that the two cats heard such a loud noise in the house. They didn't care about playing and fighting for a while, but just stared at the people coming and going. Now that everyone had left, the two cats had nothing to watch. Seeing Julie sitting on the sofa, they came over and rubbed her out of boredom. Julie had been in a daze, but now she was brought back to her senses.
Looking at the two stunned cats and the mess on the ground, Julie felt mixed emotions.
This is...what kind of life are we living?
What kind of fate is this for her?
