Peerless Cupid System

Chapter 45 I won't let them get away with this!

After moving around outside for a few minutes, Ling Ziqian returned to Su Mingxi's house.

It was already evening; the sun was gradually setting, the sunlight was fading, and the sky was darkening.

The lights were off in the room, and no one spoke. Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong hugged each other and sobbed softly.

The scene was somewhat eerie.

Ling Ziqian walked to Su Mingxi's side and smiled.

Scratching his head, unsure how to begin, he said, "Well, your parents want you to get married, but it's all for money. If you pay them back, they won't be spouting nonsense here."

Su Mingxi looked at Ling Ziqian with teary eyes, not knowing what he meant by saying that.

Ling Ziqian took out 55,000 RMB, which was converted from 55 points of ambiguity, from his pocket.

Su Mingxi and Dou Xiaorong were startled, not expecting Ling Ziqian to take out so much money.

“I just withdrew this money, exactly 55,000 yuan. Of course, it’s not for you, it’s a loan,” Ling Ziqian said. He didn’t continue, leaving it to Su Mingxi’s decision.

The obese man and woman were both quite surprised, not expecting that Ling Ziqian would go out for a stroll and bring back 55,000.

Su Mingxi's parents, on the other hand, had uncertain expressions, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

Su Mingxi was still crying and didn't know what to say.

Ling Ziqian smiled at her, "Just like before, when I invited you to work part-time at my family's cake shop, it was a kind gesture of help. Isn't that how friends treat each other? Don't feel embarrassed. It would be terrible if you made the wrong choice in life because you felt embarrassed."

Hearing Ling Ziqian say that, Su Mingxi laughed.

She wiped away her tears, regained her confidence, and said, "Thank you!"

She took the money from Ling Ziqian's hand, "I'll write you an IOU later."

Ling Ziqian nodded, "I won't ask you for a single penny of interest."

Su Mingxi smiled again, took the money, and walked to her parents to put it down.

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong stood aside and watched.

"Dad, Mom," Su Mingxi took a deep breath, "I don't want to get married so early. I want to go to school and go to university. You can use this money to pay off your debts. Consider it my way of showing my respect to you. In the future, I won't cause you any trouble or increase your burden. I will work hard to do part-time jobs to earn my living expenses and tuition fees."

Su Mingxi's words surprised and embarrassed her parents.

Seeing that things were going wrong, the obese man immediately shouted, "Mingxi, don't be silly! That kid is obviously a rich second-generation. Don't let him take advantage of you. He'll buy you for a mere 50,000 yuan. Don't be so naive!"

"I borrowed this money!" Su Mingxi shouted at the fat man. "Uncle, in your eyes, my friend has bad intentions, but in my eyes, you, as my uncle, have even worse intentions. You are my mother's brother, a member of our family, but what have you done?"

The obese man was somewhat embarrassed by Su Mingxi's loud shout.

The obese woman was displeased. "If we hadn't lent your family money back then, your father would have passed away long ago. Now you're yelling at us and saying we have ulterior motives. You're really biting the hand that feeds you, taking our kindness for granted!"

"If you were kind, why did you lend our family 50,000 yuan a year ago, and now you want us to pay back 55,000 yuan?" Su Mingxi retorted.

"Where can you borrow money without paying interest? If we had invested that 50,000 yuan, we would have made a fortune. Since we lent it to your family, we didn't make any money. What's a little interest?"

The obese woman and Su Mingxi were locked in a fierce confrontation.

Su Mingxi placed the stack of money in front of them. "You're here to collect your money. Here's the money. Show me the IOU!"

The obese woman's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing that Su's parents didn't speak, the obese man quickly smiled and said, "Mingxi, don't be so angry. Your family is in such a difficult situation right now. Now that you have some money, you should use it to improve your life. We're not in a hurry to take it."

Such statements are clearly incoherent.

He used to be clamoring to pay back the money, saying he wanted to buy a house and that he would take the money to court if it wasn't paid back, but now he's saying he's not in a hurry.

Su Mingxi was extremely intelligent, and she guessed some things.

"You didn't bring any IOUs at all. You clearly know our family has no money, but you still came to collect the debt. Your purpose is not to get the money, but to arrange a marriage for someone, right? You want to marry me off, right? Uncle and Aunt, how much of a kickback did you receive from them before you came to deceive my parents and cheat your niece!"

Su Mingxi's prediction came true, and the obese man's face turned very ugly.

Mr. and Mrs. Su were both very surprised, never expecting things to turn out this way.

The obese woman spoke with self-righteousness, "That's right, we're here to play matchmaker. He's a rich man who's taken a liking to you, Su Mingxi. He's got so much money he could bury you alive. We're just trying to be helpful. If you agree, you'll become a rich man's wife. We're not trying to cheat you, we're clearly helping you!"

They actually called black white.

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong exchanged a glance. Dou Xiaorong clenched her fists angrily, as if she wanted to hit someone.

"I don't care!" Su Mingxi shouted, taking out paper and pen from under the coffee table. "Write down a note saying you received the money, put your fingerprint on it, and then our family and you will be even!"

The obese man didn't do anything. If he wrote it down, although he would receive the money, it would mean he would have no connection with Su Mingxi's family anymore, and he would have no reason to come over in the future.

"Sign it." Mr. Su, who had been in an awkward silence, finally spoke up. Now he understood that the obese man had ill intentions.

After Su Mingxi said those things just now, how could he possibly push his daughter into a pit of fire?

Su's mother wiped her eyes with her sleeve. She never expected that her younger brother would do such a thing.

I thought he was genuinely looking out for Mingxi, but it turns out he took money from someone else and had ulterior motives.

The obese man was embarrassed for a moment. He picked up a pen, quickly wrote a note, pressed his fingerprint on it, picked up the stack of money and his phone, and got up to leave.

The obese woman cursed and said some unpleasant things.

Even after walking a long distance, the obese woman was still seething with anger. "Things were almost done, but then this brat came along and ruined everything!"

The obese man had a gloomy expression and didn't say a word. The task wasn't completed, and the money he had almost received had simply vanished.

"No, I can't let them get away with this!" The obese woman was so enraged that she wanted to kill someone.

"Don't do anything reckless, that's my sister!" the fat man roared.

"I don't care who she is. If they make me uncomfortable, I'll make them suffer!" The fat woman glared at the man. "You're such a coward. If you had been a little tougher just now, everything would have been settled. You actually got cornered by a high school student."

As she spoke, the obese woman took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Brother Qiang." The fat woman smiled brightly. "Didn't my sister's family borrow money from you? I heard they even mortgaged their house to you. That house isn't worth much. They just paid off our debts, and it seems like they suddenly have money!"

After fanning the flames, the obese woman hung up the phone, a sinister smile on her face.

The obese man wanted to say something, but it was too late to stop him; he could only sigh.

The two annoying people left Su Mingxi's house, but the atmosphere remained awkward.

Mrs. Su turned on the living room light, and Mr. Su was smoking, seemingly troubled by something.

Dou Xiaorong looked at Ling Ziqian and felt that the two of them should leave.

Su Mingxi walked over, took Dou Xiaorong's hand, and smiled at Ling Ziqian, "Let's go upstairs, I'll write you an IOU."

Mr. Su turned around and said, "Mingxi, I'll pay for this..."

Su Mingxi seemed not to hear, and she pulled Dou Xiaorong upstairs quickly. Ling Ziqian was a little embarrassed and quickly followed.

Not long ago, Mr. Su waved to the fat man, telling him to make a phone call. Mr. Su had decided to marry off Su Mingxi in exchange for a dowry of 300,000 yuan.

Such an action tore an indelible wound in Su Mingxi's heart.

Ignored by his daughter, Mr. Su was extremely distressed. "How could my medical treatment cost so much money? How could I be so incompetent? A grown man like me, I have to rely on marrying off my daughter to make a living..."

Su's father was filled with remorse, and Su's mother wiped away her tears with a somber expression; she was also in great pain.

Chapter 46 He owes you a debt, and I will repay it!

Su's father's voice came from downstairs.

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong were both a little embarrassed.

Su Mingxi gave an embarrassed smile. "Please have a seat first. I'll go get some paper and pens."

After saying that, she went into the room.

Ling Ziqian and Dou Xiaorong sat down in the living room on the second floor.

The two exchanged a glance, both filled with worry.

"What should we do?" Dou Xiaorong asked Ling Ziqian softly.

"We can't help with something like this," Ling Ziqian shook his head helplessly.

Dou Xiaorong responded, after all, Su's father had hurt Su Mingxi, so Su Mingxi had no reason not to be angry.

If it were me, I would get angry too.

Upon entering the room, Su Mingxi didn't rush to grab paper and pen. Instead, she lay down on the bed, hugged her doll tightly, closed her eyes, and took deep breaths.

She felt it was all unreal; her parents were going to marry her off, and then Ling Ziqian suddenly appeared and saved her.

Thinking of what Ling Ziqian had said, Su Mingxi felt a jumble of emotions.

Dou Xiaorong's childhood sweetheart is really something else, constantly owing favors to others!

Taking a deep breath and calming herself down, Su Mingxi got up, picked up a pen and paper, and left the room.

Su Mingxi neatly wrote out an IOU, pressed her fingerprint on it, and handed it to Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian didn't stand on ceremony and put the IOU away.

Although he obtained the money almost out of thin air, it wouldn't matter if he gave it to Su Mingxi, but Su Mingxi would definitely not accept it.

Giving it to her would be tantamount to charity, which is a matter of Su Mingxi's dignity.

"I don't have that much money right now, but I'll pay you back no matter when!" Su Mingxi said, slightly embarrassed.

"Yes, I believe you." Ling Ziqian nodded and smiled.

Dou Xiaorong hugged Su Mingxi tightly, "That's great, but you can't do dangerous part-time jobs."

Su Mingxi smiled apologetically, "I never told you this before..."

"It's okay!" Dou Xiaorong smiled sweetly. "You have your difficulties, and I understand."

"Hehe." Seeing the two so intimate, Ling Ziqian couldn't help but laugh. Dou Xiaorong had fallen ill today because of a misunderstanding and jealousy.

Su Mingxi had no idea what Ling Ziqian was laughing at.

Dou Xiaorong was a little shy and stuck out her tongue at Ling Ziqian.

"Alright, it's time to go back, it's getting dark." Ling Ziqian stood up.

"Wait a minute, I need to talk to Mingxi." Dou Xiaorong hugged Su Mingxi tightly.
