Kiss Husband: Sweet Wife Is a Little Crisp - Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Loan storm (2)

Meng Xinyan’s finger hovered over a contact, the word ‘Dad’ written on it, but was unable to press it.

This number had long been kept on her cell phone, but she had never had the courage to press it.

Dad, after all these years, it’s your daughter who is unfilial…

“Hello? Sister Zhang, can I borrow some money from you?”

“Hello, Editor Yan, can I borrow 250,000 from you?”

None of them were willing, none…

After thinking about it for a while, repeatedly entangled, she still dialed Ling Xi’s number.

“Teacher Ling Xi, there’s a small situation on the stage, so we may have to delay for about ten minutes.”

Ling Xi was still mending her makeup, “Alright, ok, I know.”

It looked like Yizhi would have to wait another ten minutes at home tonight.

Still thinking of this, her cell phone on the makeup table vibrated.

“Hello? Hello?”

After a while, the other side was still silent. “If you don’t speak, I’ll hang up.”

“Don’t… don’t hang up.” Worried that she would really hang up, Meng Xinyan hurriedly made a sound.

This voice was… her stepmother?

Ling Xi’s eyes brightened. She finally called her, she motioned for makeup artist to leave for a while.

“Mom, is that you?”

Meng Xinyan thought that the ‘mom’ she was referring to was her biological mother, so she immediately denied: “No, no, I’m Auntie Meng, Ling Xi, don’t hang up, okay?”

Ling Xi nodded happily, although she couldn’t see her, “OK, I won’t hang up.”

Listening to her, Meng Xinyan was still worried that Ling Xi would hang up when she asked to borrow money. “Ling Xi, Auntie Meng knows that you hate me very much, and I also know that I’m very shameless, very untrustworthy, but just this once, Auntie Meng is really desperate. I beg you, please I beg you, okay? Can I borrow… 250,000? I promise, when we make money, we’ll give it back to you right away.”

Ling Xi’s face changed. She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her stepmother had called her, but when she had just mentioned borrowing money, she mercilessly turned off her phone.

She knew that her stepmother was living a difficult life, but what happened that she needed to borrow 250,000?

Now she only hated herself for being so ruthless in her previous life, and why had she thought that her stepmother forced her to marry Xu Yizhi for money?

Meng Xinyan didn’t hear Ling Xi speak again, and her heart gradually filled with despair.

“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll be right there.”

Because of this words of Ling Xi, Meng Xinyan felt like she was grasping at her last lifeline.

But Ling Xi didn’t know she had moved ah!

She wanted to make another phone call, but was afraid she’d be annoyed.

“Director, I’m sorry. I’m suddenly in a hurry. Do you think you can accommodate it?”

When he saw Ling Xi’s bright face, Jiang Xie thought about it and nodded. “It’s okay. Today, the convenors only need to draw tags. I’ll let Shu Tingting replace you.”

“Okay, thank you director.”

After Ling Xi left, the deputy director next to him began to complain. “Director, she signed an agreement with us. Why did you let her go like this?”

Jiang Xie frowned, “Who hasn’t had trouble at home at one point? What’s more, Ling Xi is so dedicated to her work.” He whispered again, “And more professional than that Shu Tingting.”

On the way to her stepmother’s house, Ling Xi called Xu Yizhi and told him not wait for her, for fear that he would be worried, but he didn’t say anything.

When Ling Xi arrived, Meng Xinyan was standing downstairs waiting for her.

Unable to confirm that this was her stepmother, she waited for her to speak first.

“Ling Xi? Is that Ling Xi?”

“Mom, it’s me.”

Hearing her shout “Mom”, Meng Xinyan stood stunned in place. “You… You… You just now…”

“Mom, it’s me. Ling Xi!”

Meng Xinyan was dull. Ling Xi had never called her “mom”. Was she sick? Was this an auditory hallucination?
