Chapter 281 - Pay Back A Hundred Thousand
To put it simply, Xu Lei got pregnant at a dangerous age. Her children were weak, and she gave birth to twins. Xu Lei couldn’t take care of three children at once.
They wanted to announce that their eldest son was adopted once he was born. But now that she had two infants, adopting one in such a hurry would arouse suspicion.
If she didn’t have her children, it would be fine if the eldest was seen as an adopted son. But when she had children of her own, saying that the eldest son was adopted would hinder his growth.
Since they were family, they wouldn’t treat the eldest son differently. But some trolls just loved to fabricate stories. Heavens knew how much that would affect their family.
Xu Lei was exhausted during that period. She got a nanny to take care of her children after she was done with postpartum period. But then that nanny was evil. It was fortunate that Xu Lei managed to stop the torture in time, but since then, she had harbored a distrust toward nannies.
Zhang Yuan kept on taking care of their eldest son. She was the surrogate mother whom Hou Cang and Xu Lei had hired.
Hou Cang’s mother was in bad health. Xu Lei’s parents had passed away. There was also bad blood between her and her siblings. Xu Lei couldn’t possibly ask them for help.
In this time of crisis, Zhang Yuan sought them out. Her ex-boyfriend swindled her fees as a surrogate mother. He also overspent her credit card by a hundred thousand yuan. Obviously, she couldn’t pay up. Zhang Yuan was facing criminal responsibility.
“What?! Why did you give Xiangxiang that much money?!” Song Meng never had that much money in her life before.
“I borrowed it from her around this time last year,” Li Xiangling answered.
Yun Xiangxiang took out her phone to check. She did have a hundred thousand credited into her account. “How did you make this money?”
Li Xiangling cleared her debt of a hundred thousand in a year. At her age, Li Xiangling was supposed to be busy with her studies. Yun Xiangxiang was curious about where she got this money.
“Stocks,” Li Xiangling didn’t hide it from Yun Xiangxiang and Song Meng.
“Why didn’t you take me with you?!” Song Meng went up and pinched Li Xiangling as she interrogated her friend.
“Do you have the capital to enter the market?” Li Xiangling shook Song Meng’s hand off.
Song Meng was speechless.
“I can borrow from Xiangxiang!”
“Can you?” Li Xiangling probed.
Song Meng was annoyed.
She wanted to break ties with Li Xiangling. Song Meng didn’t need a friend like her.
But Li Xiangling wasn’t about to let her go. “Can you discipline yourself?”
Stock trading is hazardous. Those who won a bit would go deeper into it. Many were the stories of people driven to desperation and committed suicide because of their losses in stocks.
