The Days of Spending Money

As Xu Chuxue turned to leave, her phone rang.

The person making the call was Xu Shengze.

Now that Cen Shichuan doesn't like her, she can only rely on the Xu family.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Is Shi Chuan willing to see you?" Xu Shengze asked anxiously.

"No, he won't answer my calls. He only sent a lawyer over and said that the villa I'm living in now is left to me, and that's all."

Cen Shichuan's meaning was very clear: hush money.

If she dares to cause any more trouble, Cen Shichuan will shut her up.

Xu Shengze clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction: "Since he's ignoring you for now, why don't you sell the villa and put the money into the company to help with cash flow?"

Xu Chuxue immediately retorted, "Impossible, this is my villa."

"Chu Xue, our family is facing bankruptcy because of helping you. You and Mom even lied to me about your blood donation, which made me lose credibility with Shi Chuan. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"

responsible?

Upon hearing this word, Xu Chuxue was furious.

Now the Xu family blames her, and Cen Shichuan blames her too, but they were the ones who made the choice back then, so why should they blame her?

"Brother, stop pretending you were deceived in front of me. When I said I fainted while donating blood, you didn't even ask the doctor before you were certain I donated blood, and you were also certain Xu Wantang couldn't have donated blood. Actually, you probably hoped it was me who donated blood, didn't you?"

"After all, although the Third Young Master had feelings for both me and Xu Wantang at the time, Xu Wantang was too young, and you all thought more highly of me, so you trusted me because I could help you."

"No!" Xu Shengze denied it outright.

Xu Chuxue sneered: "I knew you would deny it. No wonder your parents have never been willing to give you important positions. You've been useless since you were a child. When you were young, you didn't do well in exams, so you made up all sorts of excuses. Later, when you didn't do well at work, you made Xu Wantang your scapegoat."

"Have you forgotten that your parents are business people? How could they be fooled by your little tricks? The only reason they were willing to use you later was because they thought you were obedient enough to do whatever they were told. It was good for you to be my tool."

The words fell.

Xu Shengze's rapid breathing came from the other end of the phone.

"Xu Shengze, I call you brother, but you're the real brother to me. If you had helped Xu Wantang back then, I would have respected you as a good brother. But in reality, you were just a stepping stone for me."

Xu Chuxue sneered; she loved the feeling of manipulating others and having them at her fingertips.

But a few seconds later, Xu Shengze also laughed.

"Yes, I was stupid to actually believe that you were sincere towards me, your brother, and that it was nothing for Wan Tang to sacrifice a little for the family. But how much better are you?"

"Xu Chuxue, you're a fool too. You actually believed a man's vow. Now you've not only lost your status, but also your man. I'd like to see how far you, Xina, can go after the Xu family goes bankrupt."

Xu Shengze hung up the phone.

Xu Chuxue stood there blankly, calling her parents, only to find that she had been blocked.

She slid down to the floor against the wall, laughing and crying at the same time.

"We're all idiots! We're all idiots!"

"I don't want this! I will definitely go back to the way things were before!"

……

In the car.

Xu Wantang told Cen Yuan about being chosen as the lead actress.

Cen Yuan wasn't surprised at all: "I knew you would be selected, so I specially booked a restaurant to celebrate for you."

"A restaurant? Are we being that high-profile now?"

"If couples don't flaunt their relationship, are they waiting to be flamboyant when they die?"

Cen Yuan was actually joking; he even laughed first himself.

It seems he was happy about more than just Xu Wantang being chosen as the lead actress.

Xu Wantang leaned closer to him: "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

Cen Yuan took a document from the small cabinet in the car and handed it to Xu Wantang.

Xu Wantang immediately opened it and found it to be the latest gene report from a foreign laboratory.

She couldn't understand the beginning either, but she could clearly see the most important part of the final conclusion.

"Second brother, you...you're not mentally ill! There's absolutely nothing wrong with you!"

"No, that's true. But I do have a very strange history of illness, so I had various tests and examinations done, which is why the process took so long."

"No wonder you were always willing to clean up Cen Shichuan's messes in the Cen family; you were waiting for evidence. So, what was the result?"

"I was given some psychiatric drugs when I was sixteen, but the other party didn't dare to give me too much, so I didn't get sick until I was eighteen. Fortunately, I went up the mountain when I was twenty, and the other party didn't have a chance to make a move, which also shows that the other party just wanted to drive me away."

At this point, Cen Yuan had made it very clear that whoever benefited from his departure was the murderer.

Cen Shichuan.

However, Cen Yuan was sixteen years old, and Cen Shichuan was two years younger than him, so it was impossible for them to have such a meticulous plan.

That is……

"Third Young Master's father? The First Madam said that he was the one who killed her husband and children."

"It was him. He always pretended to be seriously ill, so everyone was less wary of him. Cen Shichuan learned to pretend to be disabled from him."

"Why didn't they fake being crippled in the car accident? The father and son could have gone around harming people."

Xu Wantang frowned in displeasure.

At this moment, the car stopped.

Cen Yuan led Xu Wantang into the main hall.

Xu Wantang immediately recognized the restaurant: "Rooftop restaurant? What made you think of coming here?"

Cen Yuan: "Last time doesn't count."

"..."

Xu Wantang smiled and took his arm as they went upstairs into the VIP room.

This location offers the best city views and the most complete and beautiful fireworks display.

As soon as Xu Wantang sat down, it got dark around her.

"What are you doing? Why are the lights off?"

Cen Yuan sat beside her, holding her hand tightly.

Look out the window.

Xu Wantang looked in that direction and saw a huge firework explode in an instant.

She exclaimed in surprise, "What day is it today? There are fireworks?"

Cen Yuan smiled faintly: "Days of spending money."

Xu Wantang: "You bought it?"

"Um."

"Second brother, you're too much..."

Xu Wantang had just raised her hand when Cen Yuan grabbed it and pulled her in front of him.

As his breath subsided, his lips also fell.

After a moment, he slowly pulled away from his lips: "It's worth spending money on you."

Xu Wantang smiled, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him.

The fireworks in front of me still bloom brilliantly.

But beneath the brilliance lies an undercurrent of tension.

Xu Chuxue received a message from Xu Shengze in the evening saying that the Xu family would be liquidated the next morning.

Unwilling to accept her fall from grace, she wanted to plead with Cen Shichuan for mercy.

Even if Cen Shichuan doesn't want to be with her, at least supporting her isn't a problem.

If that doesn't work, Cen Shichuan won't be able to get rid of her with a villa for plotting a car accident.

Now the dance troupe is laughing at her, the Xu family is bankrupt, and she really has no way out.

But she never expected Cen Shichuan to be so heartless, refusing to even see her once.

Just then, the skyscraper started setting off fireworks, accompanied by the sounds of people talking nearby.

"These fireworks were set off by the second young master for his beloved. The boss personally prepared them last night. Several of the fireworks were specially designed by the factory and are not yet on sale. The second young master bought them all, saying that he would save them so that his girlfriend could set them off whenever she wanted to see them in the future."

"I never expected that the Second Young Master was the one with deep affection. He works quietly and quietly. Being his girlfriend would be the best."

"We can only be envious."

Xu Chuxue looked up, the fireworks reflected in her pupils, burning with jealousy.

All she could hear were Cen Yuan's words to her.
