On the phone, Li Zhinian blushed and spoke cautiously, finally managing to say the words about borrowing money to her parents.

If it weren't for a last resort, Li Zhinian would never open her mouth to her family again.

But the situation is urgent now. If we can't come up with the money by the 14th, then it will just be compound interest again.

Li Zhinian borrowed a total of 27000 yuan in the past few days, only 76000 yuan was left, but just in case... he finally borrowed 77000 yuan.

He further stated that he would repay a total of 8 in the future.

When Li Zhinian asked to borrow money, her parents were very surprised and also very troubled.

"Chinen, what happened to you? Why do you need so much money all of a sudden?" Chen Yuan, the mother, asked worriedly.

The father, Li Bowen, was equally anxious: "Yes, Zhinian, what exactly happened?"

For a moment, the elderly couple thought something terrible had happened to Li Zhinian.

Li Zhinian had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep her voice as low as possible.

"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom. I was confused for a moment and thought I could make money by investing in stocks, so I got involved."

"As a result... not only did I lose all my savings, but I'm now also in debt to outsiders."

"So, I had no other choice but to ask you for help."

Li Zhinian didn't reveal that Xiao Feng lost money in the stock market. Instead, she lied and said that she had been momentarily blinded by greed and had invested in stocks.

Upon hearing Li Zhinian's explanation, her father, Li Wenbo, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. I thought something serious had happened. If it was stock trading, then at least we can pay back the money. It's good that nothing serious has happened."

However, Li Zhinian's mother, Chen Yuan, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Chen Yuan frowned: "Zhinian, tell Mom the truth, is it really you who's been investing in stocks? Or is it Xiao Feng who's been investing and then sent you to borrow money from us?"

Li Zhinian and Xiao Feng have been together for more than three years, and both sets of parents know about each other.

However, Li Zhinian's parents have always opposed the two being together.

The main problem is that Xiao Feng always gives people the impression of being idle, unable to work hard, and always having unrealistic ideas.

Therefore, her parents always felt that if Li Zhinian were to be with Xiao Feng, it would be difficult for her to live a stable and happy life in the future.

Naturally, they didn't think the two of them would be a good match.

The parents' idea is certainly not wrong; everyone hopes that their daughter can be with a reliable person.

And it seems that this is indeed the case, because according to Xiao Feng's previous life, the final result was indeed very unsatisfactory.

After all, Li Zhinian eventually fell seriously ill, and Xiao Feng gambled away her only 10 yuan.

Of course, Xiao Feng wasn't gambling at the time; he was just hoping for a chance.

But that's a story for another time.

But the current situation seems to have suddenly revealed the truth to Chen Yuan, the mother.

"Is it or isn't it?"

Faced with her mother Chen Yuan's persistent questioning, Li Zhinian panicked and stammered.

"Mom, please don't ask anymore. Just help me this last time. I promise you, there will never be a next time."

Hearing Li Zhinian say this, her parents understood completely and there was no need for further words.

He naturally knew that Xiao Feng had incurred debts outside.

Chen Yuan sighed with heartache: "Oh, Chinen, what can we say about you? I told you long ago that Xiao Feng is unreliable and always has unrealistic ideas."

Li Wenbo added, "It's not a bad thing that Xiao Feng is ambitious, but he's too young, which might actually harm him."

"Because he doesn't realize that in this society, without connections or family support, it's very difficult for ordinary people to rise above their circumstances."

"Even if you manage to get back up by sheer luck, you can't withstand any storms. That's the truth."

"If you really want to be with him, you'll only suffer in the future."

Chen Yuan continued, "Although we've said that you're in charge of your own life, we can't just stand by and watch you jump into a fire pit."

"Your dad and I will chip in the money. You know your brother's situation; we don't have much savings, so it will have to be done later..."

"But don't worry, I'll definitely get the money back by the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I'll transfer it to you then. You won't have to pay it back."

"But, daughter, I hope that after this incident, you will seriously consider breaking up with Xiao Feng."

"It's also for your own future, for your future happiness."

The call ended abruptly after he finished speaking.

Clearly, the parents were disappointed.

Especially the last few words, which were an advice to Li Zhinian and Xiao Feng to break up as soon as possible, also for the sake of Li Zhinian's future happiness.

Although the words may be unpleasant to hear, they are perfectly normal.

Who wouldn't want their daughter to be happy and find a reliable partner?

However, even though her parents were disappointed, they still made it clear that they would definitely transfer the money to Li Zhinian by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

This made Li Zhinian feel even more guilty, especially towards her parents.

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would be a good son to his parents from now on, and...

And no matter what happens to me in the future, I will never ask my parents for help again, nor will I trouble them.

This is the first and only time.

Of course, Li Zhinian remained steadfast in her decision to break up with Xiao Feng despite her parents' advice.

Never break up!

She had already decided that Xiao Feng was the one for her.

Even if, as my parents say, I've jumped into a fire pit in life, I'll accept it.

Moreover, Xiao Feng has changed a lot in the past few days, which has given Li Zhinian hope and made her more determined in her choice.

In short, Li Zhinian was stubborn and only had eyes for Xiao Feng.

No one can replace him.

Take a look at the time.

It's 9 p.m. now.

Li Zhinian sent a message to Xiao Feng.

[Li Zhinian: Young Master, it's almost time~]

However… Xiao Feng did not reply to the message.

Out of concern, I'm posting another one.

[Li Zhinian: Reply to this message if you see it. Have you had too much to drink? I'll come pick you up.]

There has still been no reply.

After receiving no reply to two consecutive messages, Li Zhinian got up and prepared to go out to pick up Xiao Feng and take him home.

As she got up, she dialed Xiao Feng's number.

however…

"Knock knock knock".

"Wife, open the door!"

Uh…

It was Xiao Feng's voice.

As the door opened, Xiao Feng appeared drunk, clearly having had quite a bit to drink.

When Xiao Feng saw Li Zhinian open the door, he, still half-asleep, immediately hugged her in his arms.

He kept muttering about his wife, while also muttering explanations under his breath.

"Honey, I was already downstairs when you messaged me, so I didn't reply."

"Honey, have you missed me?"

Anyway, Xiao Feng was drunk, and he kept calling her "wife" so naturally.

Li Zhinian was a little embarrassed by the way she called him.

The main reason is that... it's very rare to hear Xiao Feng use that title.

But for some reason, although I was a little shy, there was a moment when I actually enjoyed the nickname.

Looking at Xiao Feng after he got drunk, Li Zhinian not only didn't say a word of blame, but was even gentler than usual.

"Why did you drink so much? Doesn't your head hurt?"

Faced with Li Zhinian's thoughtfulness and care, Xiao Feng, under the guise of being drunk, finally revealed his childish side.

His steps were unsteady, yet he still managed to flirt with Li Zhinian.

"It hurts, I need a kiss to feel better."
