It was as if a huge, black hole-like vortex was slowly devouring him, pulling him into a dark, bottomless abyss.

The end of the world came without warning. Is this the end of my life?

Before they could even enjoy freedom and happiness, their fate was forcibly altered!

I don't want this, I don't want this to happen! Is there anyone who can help me, help me...?

Su Mingxi's home is in the old town of Haitang City.

Dou Xiaorong led Ling Ziqian to a courtyard with a two-story villa in the courtyard.

The small villa is a bit old; you can tell it was built more than ten years ago.

The courtyard gate was open, and the two went inside.

Voices came from inside the house. Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong were standing outside when they heard words like "getting married" and "300,000 yuan".

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong were dumbfounded, guessing what had happened inside the house.

Someone was trying to persuade Su Mingxi's parents.

Su Mingxi's parents remained silent, falling into an unsettling silence.

If I agree, I'll be letting Su Mingxi down; if I refuse, it will only make things worse for this family.

This is the moment that will determine Su Mingxi's fate!

Chapter 44 Could it be that he has given up?

Let eighteen-year-old Su Mingxi stop studying and get married!

Even if Ling Ziqian were just a passerby, he would feel angry upon hearing such a thing.

Moreover, he wasn't a stranger; he was Su Mingxi's friend!

With the courage bestowed upon him by Cupid, Ling Ziqian was incredibly bold. He glanced at Dou Xiaorong, reached out, and knocked heavily on the door.

Dou Xiaorong stood to the side, her fists clenched. She was a little nervous, but she unconditionally supported Ling Ziqian!

In the unsettling silence, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Su's mother came to her senses and got up to open the door.

When the door opened, a young boy and girl appeared in the doorway. Su's mother did not recognize Ling Ziqian, but she recognized Dou Xiaorong.

She wasn't surprised; instead, she was extremely astonished. "Xiao Rong, what brings you here?"

Su Mingxi hid in the kitchen and cried silently. Hearing the sounds coming from outside, she wiped away her tears and hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

However, when she stepped out of the kitchen, the first person she saw was not Dou Xiaorong, but Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian stood at the door, his face full of anger, as if he had come seeking revenge.

Upon seeing Su Mingxi, Ling Ziqian smiled at her.

Su Mingxi was stunned and confused, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Mingxi!" Seeing Su Mingxi's face covered in tears, Dou Xiaorong ran over in a flash, feeling so sad she wanted to cry.

Both of them had red and swollen eyes, looking like sisters in distress.

The arrival of Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong made the atmosphere in the living room somewhat awkward.

The obese uncle laughed, "Oh, they're Mingxi's friends. You two go have fun, we're talking about something."

Ling Ziqian looked at the fat man, whose eyes were cold. He took a deep breath and walked over.

Su Mingxi noticed Ling Ziqian's actions. She didn't know what Ling Ziqian was planning, and she became nervous.

"Do you want to marry Su Mingxi off?" Ling Ziqian questioned the man.

"You heard me? Kids shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing. Go play." The fat man waved his hand dismissively.

Ling Ziqian remained unmoved. "I'm not a child. I'm Su Mingxi's friend. I want to talk to you."

"What are we talking about?" the obese man chuckled.

"Hehe, you wouldn't happen to be Mingxi's boyfriend, would you? You got nervous because you heard Mingxi is getting married." The fat woman next to him gave Ling Ziqian a teasing look.

Immediately, Mr. and Mrs. Su looked at Ling Ziqian warily.

Ling Ziqian ignored the obese woman and turned to look at Su Mingxi's parents.

"I'm just Su Mingxi's friend. My purpose in coming here is simple: you want to marry Su Mingxi off to someone else. You're not marrying off your daughter, you're selling her. If you insist on doing this, I will stop you!"

"Hehe, you still say he's not your boyfriend? If he's not your boyfriend, why are you so nervous?" the obese woman said with a laugh.

Su Mingxi's parents believed the obese woman even more; in their eyes, Ling Ziqian was Su Mingxi's boyfriend.

Su Mingxi, who is still in high school, has actually fallen in love, which annoys them.

Mr. Su waved to the obese man, "Make a call, I agree to this!"

The obese man burst into laughter, while Su Mingxi's face turned ashen, as if she had instantly fallen into hell.

She wanted to scream, she wanted to rebel, but she couldn't utter a single word.

The obese man took out his phone, intending to make a call. Ling Ziqian was furious. He stepped forward and snatched the phone away from the man!

Ling Ziqian wanted to smash his phone on the ground, but Huan Yue stopped him, "Don't be impulsive!"

"What do you think we should do now?" Ling Ziqian knew that smashing the phone was wrong, but he couldn't think of any other solution, so he could only try everything he could to stop it.

"In the end, they're just after money. If you put up some money, I think things will be resolved smoothly." Huan Yue's suggestion was quite good.

However, Ling Ziqian had no money, and Su Mingxi's parents' debts could not be small.

"Ask them how much money they owe."

"it is good."

Ling Ziqian put down his phone and looked at Su Mingxi's parents. "Just how much money do you owe them that you would sell your daughter like that!"

Su Mingxi's parents were very unhappy that a teenager would speak to them in such an attitude, and they did not answer Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian, for his own sake, boldly walked in to stop things from happening; he too had to be brave!

Su Mingxi spoke up, knowing how much her family owed her uncle. "Fifty thousand, our family owes my uncle fifty thousand yuan."

The obese man shook his head. "No, with interest, it's fifty-five thousand in total!"

Su Mingxi's parents looked very grim.

Generally speaking, when relatives and friends lend money to each other, they don't mention interest.

The obese man borrowed money from his sister's family, but instead took the opportunity to lend money at exorbitant interest rates!

Huan Yue's voice was somewhat cheerful, "It's only fifty thousand yuan."

Ling Ziqian was puzzled, "I don't have 50,000 yuan!"

"You have it, have you forgotten about the value of ambiguity?"

Can "ambiguity points" be exchanged for money?

As soon as he asked the question, Ling Ziqian realized how idiotic it was.

"Ambiguity level isn't omnipotent, but it's only slightly less so," Huan Yue said smugly.

"I understand." Ling Ziqian nodded and looked at his silver watch.

The ambiguous feelings I had with Su Mingxi this morning were taken away by Cupid.

But not long ago, he was with Dou Xiaorong, who was wrapped in a bath towel.

He hugged Dou Xiaorong and even kissed her, thus collecting 59 points of flirtation value!

Ling Ziqian was startled.

Huan Yue became smug, "See? Earning ambiguous points is such a simple thing! If it had been Su Mingxi wrapped in a bath towel earlier, the ambiguous points earned would have doubled!"

The image of Su Mingxi wrapped in a bath towel appeared in his mind, and Ling Ziqian quickly shook his head, "How much RMB can 59 points of ambiguity be exchanged for?"

"If it's 55,000, it will only cost 55 points of Ambiguity Points. It will take a little time to convert it into RMB, so please wait a moment."

"it is good."

Ling Ziqian and Huan Yue's conversation proceeded rapidly in his mind.

The obese man's phone was snatched by Ling Ziqian, and he kept staring at Ling Ziqian, intending to take the phone back.

Ling Ziqian ignored them and looked at Su Mingxi's parents instead. "I don't know what you were thinking when you decided to marry Su Mingxi off, but there are some things I have to tell you!"

Everyone looked at Ling Ziqian, thinking that he was about to confess his relationship with Su Mingxi.

"Su Mingxi's grades are extremely good. She is absolutely capable of getting into university, and a very good one at that. She will have an incredibly bright future. Are you going to ruin her life?"

“I don’t know if you know, but every day after class she rushes home to cook for you. I’m not familiar with her, and I only found out today. I met her on the street today. She’s working so hard for this family. She’s handing out flyers on the street, getting harassed by thugs, and being scolded by her boss. Did you know about these things?”

"She studied hard, tried to get scholarships at school, worked hard at part-time jobs, and tried to help the family and ease your burden. How could you marry off such a good daughter? You are incompetent and unable to give her a happy life. You even want to ruin her life!"

Ling Ziqian's words caused Su Mingxi to burst into tears.

Dou Xiaorong hugged Su Mingxi tightly, not knowing how to comfort her. She herself was also in tears. She had only recently learned about Su Mingxi's part-time job.

Mr. and Mrs. Su looked somber. They were already conflicted, and after hearing what Ling Ziqian said, they felt even more ashamed and guilty.

Seeing his sister and brother-in-law lower their heads after Ling Ziqian's words, the obese man realized the situation was not good and became nervous.

He shouted anxiously, "Sister, brother-in-law, what did you say when you lent me the money? You said you would pay me back immediately when I needed it. Now I want to buy a house, and if you don't pay me back, I'll sue you in court!"

The obese woman chimed in, "Hmph, we kindly helped Mingxi find a wealthy and powerful family, but you should know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A daughter is born just to exchange for dowry money, so it doesn't matter whether she marries early or late!"

Mr. and Mrs. Su are torn between money and their daughter.

Huan Yue's voice came through, "Conversion complete."

Ling Ziqian felt something in his pocket, and when he touched it, he found it was a thick wad of cash.

If someone suddenly pulls out 55,000, everyone present would probably be surprised.

Ling Ziqian said he was going out for a bit and turned to leave.

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi were stunned, wondering what Ling Ziqian was doing outside. Could it be that he had given up?
