Hearing Qian Rong talk about Jiang Xinsheng's miserable current situation, Pei Qiuxia felt indescribably happy in her heart. A heartless person deserves to swallow ten thousand needles.

But Qian Rong changed the subject: "...Qiuxia, I think Xinsheng still misses you."

Hearing this, Pei Qiuxia just felt disgusted. She wanted to tell Qian Rong not to compare her name with Jiang Xinsheng in the future.

But when she met Qian Rong's inquiring eyes, her heart suddenly paused.

"Xiao Rong, don't talk nonsense. The freshman and I are a thing of the past."

Seeing her melancholy and sadness, Qian Rong couldn't help but feel secretly happy: This girl really hasn't forgotten Jiang Xinsheng!

"Really, Qiuxia, Jiang Xinsheng got drunk a few days ago and kept calling your name. He also said that he was sorry for you and should have married you earlier."

Pei Qiuxia asked leisurely: "How do you know this?"

"Gee, that's not important."

Qian Rong held her arm and continued to talk about Jiang Xinsheng: "I think he definitely hasn't let you go, otherwise he wouldn't have been looking for a new partner..."

Bullshit, his reputation is ruined, his job is not so good, and he is in debt. Which blind woman would like him?

Pei Qiuxia pondered in her heart, and looked at Qian Rong with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Qian Rong did not notice Pei Qiuxia's mood change, and continued to talk to herself: "Tell me the truth, you haven't let him go yet, right? I can understand, after all, you two have been together for five years, and he is still your first love."

"He's in this state now. Even an outsider like me can't bear it, let alone you. Jiang Xinsheng is a capable man. If you are willing to help him, he will be able to turn things around soon."

Pei Qiuxia wondered: "How can I help him?"

"Don't you have some money for the bride price? Jiang Xinsheng's biggest problem right now is his debt. As long as he pays off his debt, he can get back on his feet and work hard."

I want to pay off his debt? You're dreaming!
Pei Qiuxia narrowly avoided cursing, but then an idea popped into her mind.

"How much does he owe?"

Hearing Pei Qiuxia's question, Qian Rong was surprised, "Are you really going to pay off his debt?"

Jiang Xinsheng probably really had no other choice, so he went to her to borrow money a few days ago. Qian Rong of course refused to lend him the money, so he took the opportunity to say that Pei Qiuxia had money.

Upon learning that Pei Qiuxia had a considerable sum of money for marriage, Jiang Xinsheng was as excited as a hungry dog ​​smelling shit. He immediately asked Qian Rong to help him borrow money from Pei Qiuxia and also promised Qian Rong a commission.

Qian Rong went to talk to Pei Qiuxia about this matter, but she actually didn't have much hope.

Based on her understanding of Pei Qiuxia, it was good enough that she didn't add insult to injury, and she would never lend money to Jiang Xinsheng.

"After all, we know each other, so let's help if we can."

Qian Rong had been intending to facilitate this matter, and when she heard Pei Qiuxia's words soften, she immediately said, "About fifty thousand."

Pei Qiuxia was in a dilemma: "I can't take out that much. I've spent a lot of money on renovations and furniture during this period. I only have 50,000 yuan in total. I have to keep some for subsequent renovations. I can only take out 40,000 yuan at most."

"Forty thousand is fine!" Qian Rong said immediately.

Pei Qiuxia looked at her and said, "Why don't you lend me some, and I'll get 50,000 yuan for him."

Without waiting for Qian Rong to refuse, he continued, "We are best friends, you won't refuse to help me, right?"

Qian Rong was skeptical, "Are you really going to help Jiang Xinsheng pay off his debts?"

"If you are willing to lend him ten thousand, I will help him."

Qian Rong agreed without much thought.

Pei Qiuxia has a good income, and her cousin and sister-in-law are also wealthy people, so there is no need to worry about not getting the money back if she lends it out.

What's more, Jiang Xinsheng also promised to give her a kickback.

Most importantly, she really wanted to see how Pei Qiuxia would explain to her in-laws after lending the betrothal money to her ex-boyfriend.

With an ulterior motive in mind, Qian Rong withdrew all her savings from the bank that day and gave them to Pei Qiuxia.

That night, Pei Qiuxia, accompanied by Qian Rong, met with Jiang Xinsheng.

Arrived outside the meeting cafe.

Seeing Jiang Xinsheng already in the cafe, Pei Qiuxia turned to Qian Rong and said, "Xiao Rong, wait for me outside. I'll go in and give him the money and come out." "I'll go with you so that I can be a witness for you. Fifty thousand is not a small amount, so he won't default on his debt in the future."

"No need, he still has some character."

After a pause, he said, "I have a few words to talk to him alone."

Hearing this, Qian Rong showed an "I understand" expression, "Then I'll go across the street to wash my hair, you two can chat slowly."

"Ah."

After watching Qian Rong enter the hair salon opposite, Pei Qiuxia turned around and went into the cafe.

Fifteen minutes later.

Pei Qiuxia came out of the cafe and went to the hair salon across the street.

Qian Rong had already washed her hair and was sitting in a chair while the hairdresser was doing her hair.

Seeing Pei Qiuxia coming in, she hurriedly asked, "Did you give him the money?"

"Give it."

After getting the definite answer, Qian Rong silently thought about two things in her mind.

One was how to let Shen Zhemin know about this, and the other was to ask Jiang Xinsheng for a bribe.

After separating from Pei Qiuxia, she immediately called Jiang Xinsheng.

I called him for three consecutive days, but Jiang Xinsheng didn't respond.

She suspected that Jiang Xinsheng was ungrateful and didn't want to give her any bribes, so she couldn't help but feel very angry.

In addition, she would hang around the criminal police team whenever she had free time.

Her hard work paid off, and she really met Shen Zhemin who was returning to the team after handling a case.

……

In the evening, Pei Qiuxia and Shen Zhemin made an appointment to have dinner at a newly opened Mongolian barbecue restaurant.

"Do you have enough money?"

When Shen Zhemin asked about the money, Pei Qiuxia slowly swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking:
"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Shen Zhemin put the freshly grilled lamb skewers that were sizzling with oil on her plate and replied, "We've spent a lot of money on furniture renovations recently, and you've borrowed some money. I'm afraid you don't have enough money, so I still have some."

The two had obtained their marriage certificate two days ago and were legally married.

But because there was no wedding and the bridal chamber has not been decorated yet, they are still living separately for the time being.

Pei Qiuxia bit her chopsticks and looked at him, "How do you know I lent money out?"

Shen Zhemin: "I ran into Xiao Qian when I returned to the team yesterday. She mentioned it a few times and even said that you asked her for 10,000 yuan."

"Oh."

Pei Qiuxia ate a piece of roast lamb.

It is cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Take a bite and the gravy soaked in fragrant cumin spices bursts in your mouth, instantly satisfying your taste buds.

"What do you think about me lending money out?"

Shen Zhemin took a sip of tea and said, "It's quite a blow to me."

Pei Qiuxia looked at him, "Why?"

"We've been together for so long, and apart from taking you out for a meal and a drink, I haven't given you anything else."

"You are the only one who is busy with such a big thing as marriage. You can't count on me when you encounter problems. You handle everything by yourself and don't even tell me when you need money."

In Shen Zhemin's view, borrowing money is a family matter between the couple, not Pei Qiuxia's alone.

Pei Qiuxia was silent for two seconds before she spoke: "It's not that I didn't want to discuss it with you, it's because I didn't lend money to Jiang Xinsheng." (End of this chapter)
