Chapter 47 Pavlov's Dogs
After learning that her father had gambled away her family savings and car, Zhuang Yuqian finally got out of love.

Her mind was in a mess, as if a large-scale software was running, the fan was rattling, and the frame rate of the picture was only in single digits.

Zhuang Hongyi said again that he embezzled tens of millions from the company, and if he didn't pay it back within two days, he would go to jail.Zhuang Yuqian's brain stopped completely, and she stayed where she was, unable to make any movements except breathing.

Finally, Zhuang Hongyi begged his daughter to help him.

"What can I do?" Zhuang Yuqian's voice was very low.

"Go find Xia Qiu."

Unexpectedly, in the current trouble, she would hear the person related to the previous trouble, Zhuang Yuqian blinked and looked at her father.

She felt a little more relaxed, because part of her attention was shifted to Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu is the saccharine of her thinking.For more than two years, Zhuang Yuqian thought about Xia Qiu in her free time, and wanted to make her happy.Over time, the reason of Xia Qiu bypassed the process and was directly connected with the result of joy.

She is Pavlov's dog, who salivates at the sound of a bell.

Because of yesterday's incident, this conditioned reflex added a lot of bitterness, but now I was shocked by my father's confession, but instead reconciled sweetness and bitterness, and it became a coffee-like taste.

"Why are you looking for Xia Qiu?" she asked.

She felt hopeless, the relatively good family situation was her pride, one of her capitals, and now this capital went bankrupt and became her debt.

She was further away from Xia Qiu.

"You don't know the situation of his family?" Zhuang Hongyi started from the morning, saying that Xia Qiu had at least 500 million in savings, and that Xia Qiu must have a pair of big capitalist parents.

"So you want me to ask him to borrow it? Why should I ask him to lend it to me?" Zhuang Yuqian asked her father.

"I know it's impossible, but there's no other way. I really have no other way. You don't want Dad to go to jail. The house we live in now will be put up for auction, right?" Zhuang Hongyi took out the The acting skills honed by deceiving women, looking at the little daughter beggingly.

His efforts were in vain, Zhuang Yuqian didn't pay attention to his father's expression at all.

The girl felt ashamed, the same shame as yesterday, but when she thought that she could use this excuse to contact Xia Qiu who was alienated by shame, she felt happy again.

Compared with the sorrow caused by Xia Qiu, her father's confession hit her harder. The 1000 million arrears imposed a death sentence on her future materially. The spirit is the child of the material, and the sins of the material must continue to the spirit. She has fallen into the abyss both materially and spiritually.

Maybe it's the lesser of two evils, maybe it's because the worries about Xia Qiu haven't been settled yet, the former is always on her mind.

She thought that her current mental state might be very problematic.After stealing the ID photo that Xia Qiu was going to hand in, so that Xia Qiu had to ask for leave to go home to get the photo, she thought her emotions were not healthy.

All kinds of emotions flashed in her mind, often before she could see what it was.

She spends more time thinking about Xia Qiu, and the rest of the time thinking about her father and the future.

The sky outside the window turned dark at some point, she was sitting on the sofa, and her father was sitting next to her, constantly persuading her.

She sighed.

"I see, I'll ask him." Zhuang Yuqian said.

Zhuang Hongyi was overjoyed, he urged: "Go, go now!"

Zhuang Yuqian took out her mobile phone and unblocked Xia Qiu on QQ. She didn't know where she got the courage to block Xia Qiu.

"Can you come out for a while?" She texted Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu replied quickly, and they made an appointment to meet in a small park.

On Monday, there were few pedestrians in the park, and the trees on the side surrounded by the water were lush and green, and the pale moon was reflected on the water surface, shining like white light.

Zhuang Yuqian had no hope at all, or she tried to lie to herself that there was no hope.

She wanted to make an end of it. Xia Qiu's affairs mixed with her father's affairs and drove her crazy. She thought that after being rejected by Xia Qiu, she would be more comfortable.

So, when Xia Qiu came and stood in front of her, she raised her chin.

"Lend me 1000."

She didn't have a begging attitude at all, and her tone was a little arrogant.Maybe it was the last conversation, and she wanted to keep a reserved memory.

She thought that Xia Qiu would look at her in surprise, and then call her crazy.

"Okay, where's the card number?" Xia Qiu took out her phone.

Zhuang Yuqian was surprised and suspected that she was hallucinating. She repeatedly confirmed her memory: "Are you mentally ill?"

"It's fine if you borrow money and act like a jerk, and you still curse?" Xia Qiu looked at her in disbelief.

"No, it was you, why did you..." Zhuang Yuqian couldn't hold back her reserve, she stammered, "Why did you borrow it, it's 1000 million!"

"You report the card number first, what if I am teasing you?"

"Oh." Zhuang Yuqian frantically took out the card her father gave her before going out the door.

Xia Qiu took a photo of the card number and asked the secretary to transfer the money.

Three to five minutes later, an unknown black bird flitted across the white river, and Zhuang Yuqian's cell phone rang.

It was Zhuang Hongyi who sent the message.

"Amazing, daughter!"

There is a screenshot of the bank account below the message, and 1000 million has arrived.

Are you kidding me?
Zhuang Yuqian's brain went on strike again.

It’s not as good as the picture freeze at noon and the fan howling. This time the fan spins briskly and the picture is smooth, but no matter what file is clicked, a startup failure prompt pops up gently.

"It's a bit cold, let's go to the lounge over there." Xia Qiu said.

Zhuang Yuqian nodded blankly, and followed behind him like a puppet.

This is a sports park. There is a small lounge next to the supermarket in the park. In summer, many young people will rest here with the air conditioner.

There was no one there today. Xia Qiu bought two bottles of water at the supermarket and handed one to Zhuang Yuqian.

After receiving the water, Zhuang Yuqian reflexively rejoiced, and then realized that now is not the time to care about this.

She looked at Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu also looked at her.

"Why did you lend me?" Zhuang Yuqian covered her forehead and glanced at her phone.

Her father sent her a series of celebratory messages, and she was very excited, but she still can't accept this reality.

"You said you wanted to borrow it, but you're not happy if I borrowed it from you?" Xia Qiu tactically drank water, avoiding the girl's gaze, which was too direct.

"But me, yesterday..."

"I was wrong about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't say that about you. I'm sorry."

"Ah? No..."

Zhuang Yuqian unscrewed the bottle cap, gulped water, and coughed until she choked.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Qiu hadn't figured out the logic of Zhuang Yuqian's behavior, since she ran away yesterday afternoon.

"It's nothing."

Zhuang Yuqian thought, these two things bothered her the most, the two biggest crises in her life passed away so smoothly?

She worried about the two things all night and morning, and all afternoon, and it ended like this?
"Thank you," she said first, then "Why?"
