Chapter 145: Can’t eat and walk around
"You are so brave," a male voice said angrily.
"You're not paying back the money, and you're still right?"
Another man immediately asked back, his words filled with indignation.
"I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back."
The third man tried to defend himself, sounding anxious and helpless.
Then, a crisp slap sounded, "Why are you hitting people?"
The person being beaten protested, but the other party showed no sign of stopping: "People who borrow money and don't pay it back should be taught a lesson."
Then, the quarrel was accompanied by a woman's painful cry, which sounded particularly sad.
Originally, Su Yanqing wanted to ignore it and continue her dream journey. However, as a highly sensitive reporter, Xiao Qin always maintained an almost intuitive attention to such complex disputes, which forced her to put aside her personal thoughts and start thinking...
She looked at Su Xiyao for a while, pondered for a few seconds, and said slowly: "You are deliberately hiding it. It's not you that Big Brother likes, but her."
There was a hint of helplessness and blame in her tone, and it was obvious that she had discovered some unspeakable secret.
Su Xiyao sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. "So what if I like him? Today, in front of everyone, the old man announced that I am his future daughter-in-law, and Su Yanqing is also Xiao Anxun's girlfriend. Are you going to make it clear to everyone that our Xiao family is such a mess, and the second young master's girlfriend is actually the eldest young master's sweetheart?"
Her tone was full of threats and provocations, as if warning Xiao Qin not to act rashly.
Xiao Qin was speechless for a moment, and her face turned pale.
She knew that if this news really got out, the impact on the Xiao family would be unimaginable.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel panic in her heart.
Su Xiyao smiled upon seeing this, appearing confident. She patted Xiao Qin's shoulder, her voice tinged with joking, "Third Miss, it's better not to say certain things. Since the eldest young master doesn't..."
She didn't finish, but the look in her eyes said enough.
Just then, there was a loud, deafening bang outside her apartment door. It was obvious that someone had hit the door.
This sudden situation stunned everyone in the room.
At this point, it's impossible to ignore it.
Su Yanqing cheered herself up and walked towards the door.
Although she was a little scared, she still plucked up the courage to see what was going on.
She looked out through the peephole and saw a woman curled up in the corner, crying and trembling all over.
Several burly men were surrounding her, some of them rolled up their sleeves and were about to attack her, and one even grabbed the woman's chin with an extremely obscene look in his eyes.
"If you can't pay back the money, at least let us have some fun."
A burly man smiled evilly, his voice full of threats.
"Don't come here!"
The woman's voice was filled with tears and she was obviously on the verge of collapse.
Su Yanqing couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and the anger in her heart was completely ignited.
She flung open the apartment door, grabbed the umbrella next to her, and glared at the men: "There are so many of you, bullying a girl late at night, are you done yet?"
Her voice was firm and powerful, with no regard for her own safety.
The men were stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, they looked at each other, and then turned their gaze to Su Yanqing almost at the same time.
One of the tall and burly men rolled up his sleeves without hesitation, revealing the conspicuous tattoo on his arm. He glared at Su Yanqing and shouted, "Where the hell are you from? Stop meddling in other people's business here and get out of here!"
Su Yanqing ignored the man, her eyes full of determination and calmness.
She quickly reached out and pulled the crying woman behind her, protecting her. Then she picked up her umbrella, gripped the handle tightly, pointed at the men and shouted in a firm tone, "I've called the police. If you don't leave quickly, you'll be in big trouble when the police show up! You'll regret it then!"
The men were obviously shocked by Su Yanqing's sudden momentum. They looked at each other and hesitated.
Finally, the leader glared at Su Yanqing fiercely, cursed a few unpleasant words, then turned around and left the scene with the others.
When they entered the elevator and confirmed that Su Yanqing was no longer visible, they began to communicate in low voices.
"Do you think Miss Huang's method is effective?"
one person asked.
"If her methods don't work, why would anyone keep her? Miss Huang has always been resourceful in her approach, so it's best we don't ask too many questions."
Another person replied.
On the other side, Su Yanqing carefully brought the frightened woman back to her apartment, gently closed the door for her, and poured her a glass of warm water.
The woman's name is Chen Yue, and her name is well known throughout the community.
It was said that she owed some debts and was just being chased by several debt collectors.
As she slowly introduced herself to Su Yanqing, she looked around Su Yanqing's simple yet tidy residence, trying to find a sense of security.
After listening to her story, Su Yanqing felt a surge of sympathy in her heart and couldn't help but sigh, "Wait until those people are far away before you go out. It's still too dangerous to go out now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue's eyes immediately turned red. Looking at Su Yanqing with a face full of grievance, she said, "I have nowhere else to go. My parents are both dead, and I borrowed a lot of money at all costs to pay for my father's medical treatment. And now, I'm all alone, and it seems that the only people left in this world are these debt collectors who constantly harass my life."
As she spoke, big tears rolled down her thin cheeks and dripped onto her hands, which made people feel very distressed.
Looking at Chen Yue's pitiful appearance at the moment, Su Yanqing couldn't help but think of her own difficult experiences in the past.
After a moment's silence, Su Yanqing finally sat down next to Chen Yue, took out a clean tissue from the drawer beside her, handed it to her, and whispered to her in a soothing voice, "If you don't mind the simple conditions here, you can stay with me temporarily. At least it's safer here, and no one will come to hurt you."
Chen Yue slowly raised his head, with an unbelievable light in his eyes, and looked at Su Yanqing in surprise: "Is it really possible? Can I really live here?"
Su Yanqing pursed her lips, as if hesitating about something, and then revealed an embarrassed but sincere smile.
Her expression told Chen Yue that this was not just talk.
Chen Yue threw herself into Su Yanqing's arms, hugged her tightly, and her face was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Su. You helped me a lot, I don't know how to repay you."
