Flash Marriage: The Prince's Contract Wife Novel - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Staying at your place
Only then did Chi Jianming understand li Lijuan’s intentions. This damned old woman wanted to mortgage her house. Now that she couldn’t pay it back, she wanted him to tell Chi Luoxi.
“This … This house doesn’t belong to Chi Luoxi. She definitely won’t agree to this.”
“I have to agree even if I don’t agree! Chi Jianming, why are you always so cowardly? you have to understand that this amount of money isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between Chi yaoxi’s teeth. It’s only a fraction of her advertising fees. ”
Seeing that Chi Jianming still didn’t agree, li Lijuan was a little anxious.”
“It’s not as complicated as you think. Do you need me to teach you? “If she can ‘t, she can just say that she’s poor. Anyway, she’s really poor. Tell her that the living expenses she gives us occasionally are not enough. Tell her that her father is so poor that he doesn’t have a house to live in and is about to sleep on the streets, and let her pay the mortgage!”
Chi Jianming knew that this old woman had a sharp tongue. If he didn’t agree, she would Jabber on from noon to the afternoon and then to the evening.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll try, but don’t get your hopes up. You know that my relationship with her has never been very good.”
Seeing that Chi Jianming had finally agreed, li Lijuan didn’t waste any more time. She taught Chi Jianming a few words and told him to take a nap so that he would have the energy to go and find Chi Luoxi in the afternoon.
The two of them went to the room. Li Lijuan was used to taking a nap when it was time, and soon she started snoring evenly.
Chi Jianming couldn’t sleep because he had something on his mind. He thought about it and felt that this afternoon’s matter wouldn’t be easy to handle.
The old lady had actually taught him to ask if he could move into the villa with Chi Luoxi other than paying off the loan!
Chi Jianming himself felt that this request was too much.
After more than half an hour, li Lijuan had woken up. She turned around and saw that Chi Jianming’s eyes were still open.
At three in the afternoon, Chi Jianming took a taxi to Chi Luoxi’s company office at the address li Lijuan gave him.
Chi yaoxi was looking through the information sent by sister Ming when she heard a knock on the door. She said,””Please enter!”
The person who pushed open the door and entered was her father. Chi Yuexi was a little surprised and her mind was spinning quickly. Her father had come to the company directly, so it must not be anything good.
Chi Luoxi beckoned her father in and asked,””What’s the matter for you to come over at this time?”
Chi Jianming knew that he would have to say it sooner or later, so he didn’t care too much and simply went straight to the point.
“I’ve come today to ask for your help. You also know that our family’s financial situation has been tight. Recently, we mortgaged that house to the bank for a loan. The money is used, but it’s a big problem to pay off the loan every month. If we can’t pay it back, the house will be confiscated, and we won’t have a place to live. ”
Chi Jianming sighed as he spoke. When he saw Chi Luoxi looking at him calmly without saying a word, he added,”
“AI! I’m going to be homeless soon, don’t you think it’s tragic? Girl, if you really can’t pay the mortgage and have no home to return to, can you stay in your villa for a while? anyway, you have enough rooms there, so just give us two. ”
Chi luexi was dumbfounded. What was he saying? Why? She had bought the villa with great difficulty for her grandmother. She wanted her grandmother to have a small yard where she could plant anything she wanted.
How could she let her father Chi Jianming and stepmother li Lijuan move in? Besides, they might even have brought along that pretentious woman, Chi Jiaojiao!
Chi luexi rejected him immediately.”That’s impossible. Don’t even think about it. I bought the villa for grandma to live in.”
Chi Jianming actually knew long ago that it was impossible for him to move into Chi Yuexi’s Villa. The old lady had just made him ask on purpose.
Upon seeing Chi Luoxi’s firm opposition, Chi Jianming coaxed her in a good tone,”
“Luo Xi, I know that it’s impossible to move to your villa. How about this arrangement? you help me change for the mortgage so that I can still live in a house and you don’t have to keep moving, okay?”
Chi leixi looked at her father coldly, feeling more and more disappointed in him.
She had long known that her slow-witted father was often used by her ruthless stepmother, li Lijuan. Her father coming to talk to her and making these rude requests must have been her stepmother’s idea.
Chi luexi did not speak and only stared coldly at her father. She waited for him to finish explaining all the important principles before she said slowly,”
“It’s hard to imagine how the few of you have been living. Two old people with a pension can still live like this. You even mortgaged your house for a loan. Do you know where the money went?”
Chi Jianming lowered his head unnaturally when he heard Chi Yuexi’s question.
“Let me ask you again. You’ve been married to li Lijuan for so many years. Do you know her nature? Did you know that she’s always liked to gamble?”
Chi Jianming thought for a moment. He knew that li Lijuan liked to go out and play mahjong when she had nothing to do. He heard that it wasn’t a big game, and she basically won and lost. Chi Jianming really didn’t know about it.
“Luo Xi, I know that you don’t have a good relationship with your stepmother. She’s a naggle, but most of the time, she doesn’t mean it. Don’t be calculative with her.”
Hmph! What did he mean by saying it without meaning it? This explanation was too disappointing!
On second thought, since li Lijuan was her stepmother and an elder, she decided to put her aside for now.
“He actually mortgaged his property to take out a loan. Let Chi jingjiao use all that money!”
Chi Jianming felt guilty and didn’t dare to make a sound.
The more Chi luexi thought about it, the angrier she got. It was really ironic. Who didn’t get a good life through their own hard work? Chi Jiaojiao was not one of them.
Recalling what li Lijuan and Chi Jiaojiao had done to her and her grandmother, Chi Luoxi was furious. She looked at Chi Jianming coldly and said sarcastically,
“You and Li Lijuan’s daughter, Chi Jiaojiao, is really lucky. She’s always fishing and fishing. She has never officially worked before and is living a carefree life. Just let him pay for the mortgage, what’s so difficult about it!”
Chi Jianming continued to reason with her shamelessly when he saw that Chi Luoxi refused to help pay off the bank loan.
“Luo Xi, look at how well your career is developing now. You even bought such a big villa. Chi Jiaojiao can’t compare to you. She doesn’t have much ability, so you should give in to her and don’t hold it against her. Please help me with the bank repayment. It’s not much money, it’s not even a fraction of your appearance fee.”
Her father was still unforgiving. It was as if he had been sitting there and talking for a long time. If he refused to accept Chi Luoxi’s payment of the bank loan, he would not give up and would not leave.
The more Chi Luoxi heard, the angrier she got. It was as if her money would come without any effort, as if it had fallen from the sky! This was preposterous!
Why did they keep asking him to help them? This ignorant and slow-witted old father was beyond saving!
Using his own hard-earned money to help li Lijuan pay off her bank loan? That was absolutely impossible!
Chi leixi knew that she still had many debts to settle with li Lijuan. When her grandmother’s health got better, the next step would be to settle those debts with li Lijuan!
Suddenly, she thought of a question and turned around. She looked at Chi Jianming coldly and asked,”
“Dad, I want to know the truth. Tell me the truth! Ten years ago, did you know that I was dragged by li Lijuan for surgery and sold my testicles?”
