"I'm not at home, why don't you come directly here?" Li Mingli sent over a location.

"Brother Min, you really have a way," Siyan said, suddenly delighted.

"Alright, enough of that, let's hurry over," Zhou Min urged.

Immediately, the three of them hailed a taxi and headed to the address Li Mingli had sent.

Half an hour later, Siyan and the others finally saw Li Mingli; the moment she saw Li Mingli, Siyan's tears were about to fall.

At this moment, Li Mingli's eyes were listless, her cheeks were sunken, and her already thin frame now looked like a willow branch, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

The lively and cheerful appearance she once had was completely gone, and her entire demeanor appeared incredibly dejected.

"Lili," Siyan called out, her voice trembling.

Li Mingli came back to her senses, and upon seeing Siyan and the others, a smile finally appeared from the bottom of her heart at the corners of her mouth, though the smile was very stiff, as if she hadn't smiled in a long time and had forgotten how to.

"You're here. I'm sorry, there's something going on at home, so I didn't go to pick you up. Please don't mind," Li Mingli said with a smile.

Looking at Li Mingli's smile, Siyan's tears could finally no longer be held back and streamed down.

Li Mingli, Zhou Min, and Huang Yi were all her roommates, and they had spent four years of college life together.

During those four years, the three of them had helped her a great deal; they had to consider her self-esteem while also helping her, and it could be said they treated her like their own sister.

After Siyan got married, even though she had encountered several instances of cold treatment, they still came over a few times; it was only because time had passed that they hadn't been in much contact.

It could be said that the three of them were truly devoted to Siyan!

Seeing Siyan's tears, the smile on Li Mingli's face suddenly vanished, and she lowered her head and said, "You know?"

Otherwise, Siyan wouldn't be crying, nor would she be asking about her situation.

Zhou Min sighed, "We know. We went straight to your house just now."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I lied to you." Li Mingli's voice was dry; she wanted to cry, but she couldn't, because during this time, her tears had already run dry.

Siyan hugged her and said, "No need to be sorry, we are good sisters, we will bear whatever happens together!"

Siyan spoke with deep emotion, but Li Mingli didn't seem to appreciate it at all; she raised her head and said with a straight face, "You guys go, you don't need to worry about my family's affairs!"

After saying this, she pushed Siyan away and turned to leave.

Siyan grabbed Li Mingli, "Lili, you know my situation, I'm not short on money, really!"

Li Mingli looked at Siyan's sincere eyes, and this time she truly couldn't hold it back anymore; she suddenly hugged Siyan and began to wail, crying her heart out!

During this time, Li Mingli didn't even know how she had managed to hold on.

Borrowing money time and time again, being chased for debts at home, being blocked at the company entrance, and even her boyfriend had broken up with her!

All of this made this young girl feel like she didn't want to live anymore, and this feeling wasn't an impulse, but came from the bottom of her heart!

The fragmentation of her family, the end of her love, and her friendship also seemed to be disappearing!

All of this made her feel like she couldn't catch her breath!

Every day when she opened her eyes, she didn't see light, but darkness—incredibly deep darkness with no end in sight!

Siyan and Zhou Min both said nothing, only holding Li Mingli tightly, letting her feel a glimmer of warmth.

"Yanyan, I..." After half an hour, Li Mingli finally recovered slightly.

Siyan interrupted her and said, "Lili, I really am not short on money, don't treat me like an outsider."

"Thank you." Li Mingli didn't know how to express her emotions.

"Let's go, we're going to your house to pay back the money now." She didn't ask exactly how much was owed.

Li Mingli led Siyan and the others to a civilian house and opened a small room; inside, it was dilapidated, full of trash everywhere, and had a sour smell.

Li Daliang was drinking at the moment, and it looked like he had been drinking for quite a while; he didn't even lift his head when he heard the commotion.

"Uncle, Auntie, hello," Siyan and the others greeted them.

Upon seeing them, Li Mingli's mother was a bit flustered, her eyes still red.

"Oh, hello, I'm sorry, please excuse the mess." Li Mingli's mother didn't know where to put her hands at that moment.

Just as Siyan was about to speak, Li Mingli walked straight up to Li Daliang and said expressionlessly, "I've borrowed the money, go find those people."

Li Daliang immediately looked up and said, "Really?"

"Yes," Li Mingli replied stiffly.

"Give the money to me, I'll go pay them back," Li Daliang said with pleasant surprise, then stood up and reached out for the money.

A look of mockery appeared in Li Mingli's eyes as she said, "Give it to you? To go gamble? I'm telling you, after this time, no matter what happens, don't come looking for the two of us again, can you do that?"

"I just wanted to win back my losses last time, don't worry about it, where's the money?" Li Daliang urged.

But Li Mingli still looked at him expressionlessly, with no intention of taking out the money.

"I'll be damned..." Li Daliang was about to hit her, but seeing the coldness in Li Mingli's eyes, he finally stopped.

"If you don't want to pay back the money, then forget it," Li Mingli said coldly.

"Fine, fine, fine, I'll go find them right now." Saying this, Li Daliang prepared to go out.

"Make a phone call," Li Mingli said.

Seeing this daughter who seemed like a stranger, Li Daliang ultimately chose to make the call.

An hour later, a group of young men with tattoos rushed in.

"Heh, Li Daliang, you sure know how to hide; you actually found this place," the leading youth sneered.

"Tian Ge, it's not that I didn't have the money, I called you the moment I got it," Li Daliang said, bowing and smiling obsequiously.

"Alright, where's the money?" Tian Ge said impatiently; he assumed Li Daliang had borrowed a few more tens of thousands, so he didn't pay much attention.

"Bring out the IOUs," Li Mingli said coldly.

"Oh ho, looking to pay it all off at once?" Tian Ge's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes, pay it all off at once. Let me tell you, Tian Ge, my daughter's friends are not short on money; their family are relocatees from Shanghai, they got hundreds of millions just from the relocation," Li Daliang said as if showing off.

Once these words were out, Tian Ge's eyes lit up even more as he looked at Siyan and the other two.

The look Li Mingli gave Li Daliang was as if she were going to kill him!

She did not introduce Zhang Siyan to Li Daliang, but Li Daliang had seen Zhang Siyan before, and plus, after Li Mingli returned from Shanghai, she had mentioned some of Zhang Siyan's situation, so Li Daliang guessed it directly.

PS: There will be more later.
