Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 2167: Chapter 2176: I Only Have Thirty Thousand, Take It or Leave It

Qiao Yimo doesn’t want to hear anything now; her heart has already grown cold after repeatedly being asked for money. She’s become numb and indifferent to her mother’s explanations.

”I’ll answer the phone. You go back first.”

Tonight there’s going to be some party on the beach, and she still has to go help.

Besides, the place where they’re standing isn’t far from the beach. If someone hears her arguing with her family here and it reaches the manager, she might lose this job too.

The middle-aged woman saw that Qiao Yimo truly didn’t have One Hundred Thousand yuan, and her face suddenly showed a panicked look. She initially thought Qiao Yimo would definitely have money, maybe not One Hundred Thousand, but at least 70,000-80,000. She planned to add up the 20,000-30,000 yuan she saved, just enough to make One Hundred Thousand. She didn’t expect Qiao Yimo truly didn’t have that much money, even just Thirty Thousand. Her heart tightened while thinking about those fierce people who had come to their home in the past several days, and recalling the harsh words they left behind. She instantly clung to Qiao Yimo’s arm like grabbing a life-saving straw, ”I can’t go back. If I go back, what about your brother? Those people said if the money isn’t gathered by tomorrow, they will chop off your brother’s hand. Yimo, could you try to think of another way?”

”They said they would chop off my brother’s hand?” Qiao Yimo didn’t expect them to be so ruthless, leaving such vicious words. She comforted herself, and the middle-aged woman, saying, ”Impossible, they wouldn’t dare. Now is a law-governed society, if they do that, they’ll go to jail. They are just trying to scare you with words.”

”It’s true! Those people aren’t ordinary, they’re loan sharks! They’ll do anything, and if the money isn’t ready tomorrow, they’ll really chop off your brother’s hand! Before, when they came to the house, they even threw a person’s finger in front of your brother, saying it belonged to someone who didn’t repay the money on time. Yimo...”

”How did he get involved with loan sharks? Didn’t he usually gamble with friends?” Qiao Yimo still didn’t know the cause and effect. When she received the phone call last night, she thought her brother, as usual, was tricked out of money by his group of unreliable friends. It was only now she knew he not only lost money but also got involved with loan sharks.

”His friend took him there... Your brother... At first, he said he wouldn’t go, but his friend said the place was interesting and that he made quite a bit of money there. Your brother thought it’s not easy for you, a girl, to support us, so he wanted to take a chance. If he won money, you wouldn’t have to give us money every month. That way, things would be easier for you too. Your brother also said he wanted to win money to buy you a bag, so you can be like other girls and take a pretty bag to work, instead of using fakes. Your brother said, when you were kids, you often played house together, and he said when he grows up, he would buy you pretty clothes and bags. He always remembered.”

Qiao Yimo knew these were made-up stories by her mother, or maybe her brother got scared and told her those nice-sounding words to ask for money back. Her heart still twisted a bit. She tightened her lips and shook her head, ”I don’t have that much money, maybe you should call the police.”

”They said if we dare to call the police, they’ll run him over with a car...” The middle-aged woman’s eyes turned red, and she cried, ”Yimo, I remember you said your manager liked you, why don’t you ask your manager to lend you some money?”
