Chapter 815 The Debt Collectors Have Arrived
Lin Ping smiled and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. So many years have passed, and you've gradually come out of this situation, haven't you?"
Ye Xiaotong smiled faintly, "What happened in the past doesn't affect me anymore. My decision not to find a partner is my current one. I'm perfectly fine on my own and don't want to get involved in complicated relationships. I'm not good at handling things."
"But……"
"Ok?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Lin Ping laughed. "These things depend on fate. Xiaotong, the fact that you still don't want to find a partner means that your time hasn't come yet."
Ye Xiaotong didn't take his words to heart.
"I've arrived, Lin Ping. Thank you. Go back now."
"You're welcome. You go in first, and I'll go back after I've watched you go inside."
"Row."
Actually, Lin Ping came to see her off because Lin Yuyao asked him to.
When Lin Yuyao saw everyone laughing and joking, only Ye Xiaotong sat quietly in the corner, occasionally forcing a smile, but she didn't say a word all night.
They seemed to be sitting with everyone, yet also appeared to be independent of the group.
So after it was all over, she asked Lin Ping to see her off.
……
After Fu Leyi moved out, Lin Yuyao should go to Tang Xiaofen's house to collect the debt.
Ye Xiaotong said to her, "Yuyao, I'll handle this."
Lin Yuyao: "Huh? You're going?"
"Yes, I'll go."
In Lin Yuyao's mind, she was an innocent little flower who was easy to bully.
She chuckled and said, "Our purpose in collecting debts is not real; it's to scare Tang Xiaofen's brother away. We need to be fierce, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
“I understand, don’t worry, I’ll definitely scare him away.”
“You’re like this…” Lin Yuyao shook her head, “It won’t work, it’s not scary at all.”
Ye Xiaotong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You forgot, you and I are actually quite similar. If you can do it, so can I."
Lin Yuyao chuckled and said, "Then why do you have to go? I can go by myself."
"You...you're a mother, you have some...some..."
"Mom's flavor?"
Ye Xiaotong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you have a kind motherly charm, but I'm more ruthless than you."
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. A few years ago, the two of them would have been seen as delicate and innocent by others, but today they were competing in fierceness.
She then added that she smelled like her mother, a kind and gentle mother.
She was at a loss for words.
Ye Xiaotong added, "You're the boss. How can you let the boss handle this personally? It's embarrassing, don't you think?"
Lin Yuyao smiled and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. If you can't scare him away, I'll go again."
Ye Xiaotong laughed and said, "That's more like it. The boss has to step in personally because his subordinates are not doing a good job."
……
Ye Xiaotong, holding the IOU, took several tall and burly security guards and drove the company's best car to Tang Xiaofen's house.
The main reason she volunteered for this job was that she felt it had a bit of a gangster-like feel to it.
Lin Yuyao is the backbone of this large company, and she also has a family to support.
Even though it was just meant to scare people, it's still wrong to do something like that.
But she was different; she was all alone and feared nothing.
Ye Xiaotong arrived at the exact time, just as Tang Xiaoqiang had finished get off work.
I had just changed into clean clothes when I heard a knocking sound at the door.
"Who is it? Xiaoqiang, go open the door quickly."
Tang Xiaoqiang opened the door with a look of annoyance and great reluctance.
"Who..." The tone was unfriendly at the beginning, but as soon as he saw the person outside the door, his tone immediately changed.
"Manager Ye... what brings you here? Please... please come in."
He stutters when he speaks.
Ye Xiaotong saw a familiar shadow in him, like Yang Guangzong, a bully at home.
Every place has good people and bad people. They were both men who took advantage of the mountainous area, bullies in their own homes, but they were cowards once they left that place.
They're bullies at home, and they prey on the weak while fearing the strong.
They take strong measures domestically, but speak gently to outsiders.
Ye Xiaotong's face showed undisguised disgust as she strode inside.
Tang's mother came out of the kitchen and was surprised to see Ye Xiaotong.
Didn't my daughter say she wanted to ask Boss Lin for help? Why is it that girl next to her?
But it's the same, as long as someone comes, that's enough.
"Miss Ye, you've arrived. Please have a seat."
"Hmm." Ye Xiaotong gave a faint "hmm," glanced at the sofa, frowned in disapproval, and carefully settled into a small space.
"Auntie, I'm here today to help my boss collect debts."
She gave the security guard a wink.
The security guard immediately produced the IOU.
Tang Xiaoqiang immediately reached out to take it, but was pushed back by another security guard.
Ye Xiaotong said, "Just look, don't do anything."
"Okay, let me take a look."
The security guard held up Tang Xiaoqiang's phone to look at it, and when he saw that the loan amount was five thousand, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
"Manager Ye, why did you borrow so much?"
Ye Xiaotong said calmly, "When your sister came to borrow it, she said it was for your mother's medical treatment. We didn't ask what the specific illness was, but that's all there was to it."
"This..." Tang Xiaoqiang looked at his mother, "Mom, why did you borrow so much money?"
Tang's mother slapped her thigh and started crying loudly, "Oh God, I can't live, I can't live! So much money, even if I were sold, I wouldn't be able to pay it back!"
Tang Xiaoqiang: "..."
"I heard from Xiaofen that I borrowed some money for medical treatment, but she said it was only two hundred yuan and that she had already paid it back. What's going on? How come I borrowed so much?"
Tang Xiaoqiang then remembered that the good-for-nothing in the family had been keeping these things from the old lady.
Now that's alright, the old lady knows.
"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang..." The old lady grabbed Tang Xiaoqiang's arm and said, "Your sister can't pay for this. It's a man's duty to support his parents. You're the head of the household, so you have to take on this debt."
Tang Xiaoqiang's eyes widened. "What did you say? You want me to take on a debt of five thousand yuan? Are you trying to kill me? You think I'd be worth five thousand if you sold me?"
"I don't care, you're my son, you should pay for it." Tang's mother slapped her thigh in desperation. "Good heavens, my life isn't worth that much money! If my son won't help me pay it back, I... I don't have the money to pay it back myself. I might as well kill myself and give you my life back."
As she spoke, she was about to bang her head against the wall.
Tang Xiaoqiang was terrified, thinking, "Is this how debts are repaid? Even if you die in the accident, you still have to pay back the money, right?"
He was so frightened that he quickly hugged Tang's mother from behind.
"Mom, what are you doing? If you were going to hit something, you should have done it sooner. Now that you've hit something, all our money will be wasted."
Tang's mother: "..." Damn it, I'm so glad I came out to be with my daughter.
Otherwise, if I really got sick, that damned thing would probably be hoping I'd run into a wall and die every day.
With tears streaming down her face, Tang's mother said, "Don't pull me away, let me die. I have no money to pay off my debts, and my son doesn't care. I can only give up my old life to repay them."
