Chapter 888 - Dangerous Proximity
Right now, Xia Shuhua could only hide at home every day, she didn't even dare to go to the nearby mahjong hall anymore. She ate a little in the morning and prepared to buy some vegetables in the afternoon, asking Xia An if she would bring the Young Master Gong back to her house for her to take a look.
Just as Xia Shuhua arrived at the entrance of an alley near the market, he heard a voice call out to her from behind, "Big Sis Xia, buy some vegetables!"
Xia Shuhua turned her head to look and could not help but be scared to the point that her face turned white. It was the manager of the casino with two stout men beside him. He smiled as she walked over, "Big Sis Xia, the one week deadline is almost up. It's not easy to do business in casinos recently, but we've been collecting debts from the outside world! "
Xia Shuhua glared at them, "You casinos are all liars, you must have cheated!"
"Big Sis Xia, you have to be careful of what you say!" "You are willing to accept your defeat. You came here voluntarily to gamble, yet we didn't pull you in. We didn't force you right?"
Xia Shuhua's face flushed red, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have no money right now."
"You don't have money, that's none of our business. If you don't have money, then think of a way! "Don't make things difficult for us, we are also unwilling to do something like killing ourselves." The manager's face revealed a trace of viciousness.
Xia Shuhua was immediately shocked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Big Sis Xia isn't gambling for the first time, could it be that you're still not clear about the rules here?"
Of course Xia Shuhua knew, she was already in a terrible spot from the matter with the Li baldy last time, she only owed 300 thousand, but this time, she owed 2 million, so of course these people wouldn't let her off easily.
"I hear you have a beautiful daughter, don't you?" The male manager suddenly laughed in a very complicated manner.
Hearing that, Xia Shuhua immediately extended her hand to slap him. The male manager was immediately scared and took a step back.
"If you dare to touch my daughter, I will definitely not let you go." Xia Shuhua glared at them furiously.
"Big Sis, do you still have any sense for the money you owe us?" The male bodyguard on the side immediately said fiercely.
The male manager also sneered, "If you don't return the money, then we will deal with your daughter. If you don't want your daughter to be in trouble, then you better return the money quickly. We will come back for you again after this week."
With that, he left with his two subordinates.
Xia Shuhua gasped for breath as she weakly supported herself against a wall. She realized that the situation was much more serious than she had imagined.
She hurried to the neighborhood to buy some vegetables, then called Cheyenne.
"Hello, Mom?" Xia An answered.
"Peace!" Are you done with your work? When are you going home! " Xia Shuhua asked gently.
"I can't leave the studio until around five in the afternoon."
"So it's like that! An Xin, mom has bought a lot of good dishes today. Do you want to make a phone call and ask Young Master Gong if he is willing to come over to our house for a meal? " Xia Shuhua pretended to ask casually.
Xia An was clearly hesitating at the other side. "Mom, let's do it next time!" I don't know if he's free! "
"Why is there no time? You can make a phone call and ask! Maybe he's free! " Xia Shuhua really wanted to see this Young Master Gong to see if he was the type of man that was easy to talk to.
Xia An knew that Gong Yuze knew that his mother had almost given her away and he was very angry.
"Good!" I'll ask him. " Xia An replied.
"Good!" "Then I'll wait for your call!" Xia Shuhua said happily as he hung up.
Xia An was drinking water in the resting room, she thought for a bit, then decided to make a call to Gong Yuze! No matter what, he had to ask him first.
Gong Yuze was in his office taking care of his work, when the phone to his left rang. He took a look, and saw Xia An's name jumping around.
This was because she rarely called him on her own accord. He was the one who usually called her.
He reached out his hand to pick it up, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice. "What's wrong?"
At the other end, when Xia An heard this voice, his heart softened and a feeling of electricity surged through her body. She chuckled lightly and said, "I just want to give you a call and have a chat with you."
Gong Yuze also left his seat and walked lazily to the French window, looking at the scenery from afar, he smiled and asked, "What are you chatting about?"
"Are you free tonight?"
"There is!"
"My mom just called me and said she bought some food. She wanted to ask if you were willing to come to my house for dinner …" Xia Ran cautiously asked from the other side, because she was worried that he was still angry at his mother.
Sure enough, when Gong Yuze heard about this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said directly: "I still don't want to see your mother yet."
Indeed, if it wasn't for her biological daughter, she wouldn't have forgiven him that quickly. However, her mother did the wrong thing, but as her daughter, she couldn't be resented for the rest of her life.
Gong Yuze sighed lightly, "An Jing, don't blame me. Give me some time, I don't want to face your mother yet."
Xia Ran wasn't angry at that. She replied, "Alright, I won't blame you."
"Actually, I'm not free tonight!" Gong Yuze turned and said.
"Ah! You're busy!"
"That's right!" I have a date. " Gong Yuze's voice revealed traces of a warm smile.
"With whom?" Xia An curiously asked.
"With my girlfriend." Gong Yuze joked.
"How many girlfriends do you have?"
Gong Yuze never thought that she would be so serious, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Just you! Fool, I asked you to come out for dinner tonight. "
Xia An snorted and laughed resentfully. "You are making me misunderstand on purpose, aren't you?"
Gong Yuze smiled, "You're jealous. This is a good thing! That means you care. "
"Yes, I will be jealous. If you are with a different girl, I will be very jealous." Xia Shan replied to him through the phone.
Gong Yuze could hear the seriousness in her half-joking voice, and he turned serious as well. "Other than you, I won't be with other women."
Xia An's heart had indeed skipped a beat just now. He thought that there was another girl who had made an offer. But now, hearing his words, the panic in her heart vanished.
"Don't make jokes like that anymore!" Cheyenne pretended to be angry.
