Xiong Miao was also shocked, drawing in a sharp breath.

“Are you robbing me? The sofa was just slightly scratched, a tiny bit of damage and you want a hundred thousand! Be careful, I might accuse you of taking advantage of a crisis!” Su Mumu, with her explosive temper, was not someone to be taken lightly.

“Sue me? You do realize, President Zhan’s sofa is a limited edition, a one-of-a-kind crocodile leather sofa. Each chair costs a million. Even minor repairs can cost up to six figures. Asking for a hundred thousand from you is already the minimum.” Gu Yi spoke patiently.

At this, Su Mumu fell silent.

Poverty had limited her imagination.

She didn’t understand the life of the rich. X

iong Miao also cringed at the price. She knew how expensive and extravagant Zhan Yeling’s belongings were.

So, Xiong Miao mouthed and gestured to Su Mumu: Play pitiful.

Su Mumu understood her intent and immediately switched to a pitiful tone: “Big brother Gu Yi, could you be a bit more forgiving.”

“Too old, I’m not even married yet.” Gu Yi responded displeased.

Su Mumu was stunned for a moment, then changed her address: “Little Brother Gu Yi, could you be a bit more forgiving?”

On the other end of the phone, Gu felt something was off when he heard “little brother,” but he couldn’t point out on what it was.

Seeing he didn’t argue, Su Mumu continued to whine: “Look at me, a simple woman, alone to care for six children. It’s already not easy to make ends meet, where will I get so much money to pay a hundred thousand.”

“Where is the father of the children?” Gu Yi asked. Su Mumu looked towards Xiong Miao for guidance.

Xiong Miao crossed her arms and mimed diving and swimming.

Watching Xiong Miao’s actions, Su Mumu told the phone, “He jumped off a building and committed suicide.”

Xiong Miao: “…”

She meant to say, drowned. Jumping off a building was too harsh.

Gu Yi : “…”

After a few seconds of silence, he said, “Fine, then pay fifty thousand.”

Before Su Mumu could respond, he added, “That’s the lowest I can go.”

Su Mumu quickly said, “Thank you, big brother, uh, I mean, little brother. I’ll contact you when I’ve raised the money.”

With that, Su Mumu quickly hung up the phone. Xiong Miao sighed deeply.

It was one thing after another.

It was exhausting.

“Xiong Miao, I’m sorry. It’s all because I brought the kids and caused trouble. How about this, the twelve thousand you borrowed from me, you don’t have to pay back. Consider it part of the fifty thousand compensation. I should take some responsibility too.”

Su Mumu was also poor, with no money.

Otherwise, she would share the burden with Xiong Miao.

“No need, it is what it is. You were just thinking of us. Besides, you’ve helped me with the kids, I’m already very grateful.” Even in her hard times, Xiong Miao would never take advantage of a friend.

“Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to earn money and sort everything out.” Xiong Miao patted Su Mumu’s shoulder, comforting her.

“Achoo!” Just as she finished speaking, Xiong Miao let out a big sneeze.

“Miao Miao, do you have a cold?” Su Mumu noticed something was off about her.

Xiong Miao shook her head, “Just a little cold, nothing serious. But I will have to trouble you to take care of the kids. I need to go to the office for a meeting.”

Doing all the work by herself would certainly tire her out. She needed to delegate some tasks to others.

Just as Xiong Miao arrived at the office, she noticed a group of people huddled together, gossiping.

However, this time, the gossip wasn’t about her.

“Have you guys heard? Our President Zhan is actually an illegitimate child.”

“Yes, the President Zhan’s mother doesn’t have a proper status. Only the eldest young master Zhan is the rightful heir and most prestigious person in the Zhan family.”
