Song Yingqing had also seen the text message and cursed loudly on the spot.
"Your uncle is really shameless! He's racked up a huge gambling debt and let others come to you for money. He has the nerve to ask you for one million as if he isn't shameless enough. Why doesn't he just rob a bank?!"
Nan Yu's face darkened as she walked to the balcony and called her uncle directly.
The phone was answered in less than three seconds.
"Xiao Yu, has the money been transferred?"
Her uncle couldn't hide his excitement, his voice wheezing like a male duck, grating to the ears.
Nan Yu's eyes dimmed as she spoke coldly, "I don't have a penny. If you want money, you should go ask your sister and brother-in-law for it."
"They just received a cash dowry of one hundred million, and Nan Qingqing has become the long-lost wealthy daughter of the family. They have as much money as they want now."
She paused, her eyes flashing, "Uncle, didn't they share any money with you?"
A moment of silence on the other end.
Then a roar erupted, "Nan Yu, are you telling the truth or lying? Did they really get that much money?"
Nan Yu's eyes conveyed a profound message as she whispered, "Uncle, you raised me. Don't you trust what I say?"
The other side cursed impatiently, "Damn it, those two dogs. The night they came to pick you up, they gave me only ten thousand, claiming the company was in difficulty and that was all they could afford. They lied to me!"
"I've been hounded by creditors every day, almost getting my limbs chopped off. They live a carefree and comfortable life with so much money."
"I'm going to call them now for the money. If they dare not give it to me, I'll chop them up!"
Slam!
The call ended abruptly.
Nan Yu lifted her head and turned to see Song Yingqing in the room, looking at her with concern.
She walked in, with an apologetic smile, "Yingqing, if those creditors come again today, just tell them I'm at the Nan Family home and they should go there to ask for the money."
Seeing Nan Yu's troubled expression, Song Yingqing's heart ached as she reassured, "Don't worry, next time they come, I'll tell them this house has been sold. It'll save you from them possibly not getting the money from the Nan Family and coming back here to wait for you."
Nan Yu thought about her uncle's relentless, shameless madness and said after careful consideration, "I'll go look for an apartment to move out tomorrow, just in case my uncle goes crazy and shows up to make trouble."
Song Yingqing wanted to say more, but Nan Yu didn't give her the chance, smiling at her, "Yingqing, I'm a bit hungry. Let's go out to eat."
Song Yingqing knew that Xiao Yu had made up her mind and wouldn't change it easily.
She pursed her lips, sighed secretly, and finally responded, "Okay."
Elsewhere.
Xu Qi stood in the company lobby with a smile, holding a beautifully crafted box.
Xia Xing hurried out of the elevator, stepped up to him, and said nervously, "Housekeeper Xu, President Huo is in a meeting. Give the item to me, and I'll pass it on to President Huo."
Xu Qi handed the item to Xia Xing, patting his shoulder seriously, "Xia Xing, the old madam has repeatedly stressed how important this is for the Young Madam. Make sure to tell the young master that he must deliver it personally to the Young Madam."
Xia Xing felt the warning in his words and promised, "I'll relay the message to President Huo."
Xu Qi grunted, appearing to say casually, "Xia Xing, do you know where the young master and Young Madam plan to live after their wedding? Is it the marriage house in the South District arranged by the old madam, or the apartment the young master usually stays in?"
Xia Xing's alertness rose instantly, his smile forced, "Housekeeper Xu, President Huo hasn't asked me to handle the marriage house matters, so I'm not quite sure."
Xu Qi looked at him strangely, "Isn't the young master always asking you to handle his personal affairs? Why didn't he ask you about the marriage house?"
The pressure on Xia Xing surged, and his smile stiffened, "Housekeeper Xu, whatever President Huo asks me to do, I do. I really don't know about the marriage house."
He hastily glanced at his watch, looking for an excuse, "Housekeeper Xu, President Huo only gave me ten minutes, I need to get back to work."
Once Xia Xing was gone, Xu Qi stepped out of the company building and called the old madam.
"Old madam, I've asked him, and Xia Xing said he doesn't know."
"So I'll follow your arrangements and have both sets of keys ready. Tomorrow I'll give them to the Young Madam to choose an apartment to move into."
