Chapter 23 Borrowing Money
Although six hundred was very different from the tens of thousands that these aristocratic families usually spent, Ji Yao knew that six hundred was enough to live for several days, so she went anyway.

It's just that I don't know what Ji Zimo is worried about this time. He must go to the Lu family mansion to get it himself.

But as long as the money is obtained, there is no need to worry about the mother's illness.

When they went to the Lu family mansion, Ji Zimo was on the second floor. Ji Yao went up alone. He didn't see Mother Lu along the way and didn't know where she had gone.

Going to the second floor, Ji Zimo sat upright. When he saw Ji Yao, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sister, you are here."

Hearing Ji Zimo call her sister, Ji Yao felt inexplicably disgusted and turned her head away. Ji Yao frowned fiercely, with disgust in her voice.

"There are only two of us here, who else are you pretending to show? Don't disgust me."

Ji Yao's words made Ji Zimo almost lose his ability to smile. Isn't this a naked denial of face to himself?
But soon her dark face was well concealed.

"Well, the main reason I came to you today is to talk about money. Didn't I promise you that I would give you money before? Although I have no money, after thinking about it, I will never be a person who breaks my promise, so I still plan to give it to you."

Although she sneered at Ji Zimo's words, when had she ever cared about her reputation, she still raised her chin slightly and waited for Ji Zimo to give her money.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zimo talked a lot of nonsense before giving the money, which made Ji Yao a little impatient. She didn't know what she was feeling today.

"Okay, give me the money quickly, I don't have time to talk to you here."

Ji Zimo glanced at the clock next to him and found that it was almost time. He stood up and walked two steps forward to Ji Yao.

She reached out and took out a bank card and handed it to Ji Yao.

"I'll give you the money, and you can stop pestering me, okay?"

Ji Yao frowned slightly. Ji Zimo's behavior today was very abnormal. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be like this behind the scenes, but today there were only two of them, but they still had to pretend, wondering if there was any conspiracy.

The moment Ji Yao took the bank card, Ji Zimo suddenly stepped back as if he had been pushed, and then fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face.

Ji Yao's eyes widened.

Isn't it?What is this for?

But soon Ji Yao knew what was going on, because rapid footsteps sounded from behind her, and the moment she turned her head, she saw Lu Jincheng passing her, exuding the aura of keeping strangers away from her.

Lu Jincheng frowned fiercely when he stepped forward to help Ji Zimo who was lying on the ground.

"Are you done yet? You've asked for money so many times and now you're asking for it again. You really have no bottom line, right? Isn't it enough to be with two men?"

Lu Jincheng's voice was as cold as a sharp knife thrust into Ji Yao's heart.

Ji Yao pursed her lips tightly. If you look carefully, you can see that Ji Yao is shaking slightly, but she doesn't know whether it is because of fear or anger.

She opened her mouth to explain, but Ji Zimo spoke first: "Acheng... I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Can you take me to the hospital first?"

After she finished speaking, she tugged on Lu Jincheng's sleeves. Her eyes were full of tears, and her pale lips showed her pain at the moment.

Lu Jincheng picked up Ji Zimo and strode out of the house. When he passed by Ji Yao, he said coldly: "Don't let me see you approaching Zimo again!"

He looked like he didn't want to hear his explanation at all, which made Ji Yao hold back the words that were on her lips.It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what they do, even if they are misunderstood, so what, wouldn't it be more chic and neat to leave then?

Ji Yao pinched the bank card, her chest heaving violently, and then she chose to respect the fate of others.

Even so, when Ji Yao left the Lu family mansion, she was still so angry that her stomach ached.

I had told the hospital before that the fee would probably be repaid in the next few days, and the money on the bank card would be enough to pay for my mother's medical expenses.

Ji Yao rushed to the hospital non-stop, but when paying, she was told that the bank card was empty.

Holding the empty bank card given by Ji Zimo in her hand, Ji Yao felt extremely ashamed.

Not only was she tricked today, but her hopes were shattered. At that moment, she really wanted to stop asking for the money and completely ruin Ji Zimo's reputation.

But in fact, Ji Yao calmed down again after a few breaths. She could use this matter to threaten Ji Zimo, as long as she got the money.

But to be honest, once this secret is exposed, although Ji Zimo will be ruined, and Mother Lu will most likely not accept Ji Zimo, given how much Lu Jincheng cares for Ji Zimo, if he really insists on marrying Ji Zimo, Mother Lu really had no choice.

If you don't get the money, you may even be hated by the Lu family and the Ji family. This is definitely the last resort.

Thinking of the last time he helped Xu Ye draw a design draft, he looked approvingly and said he hoped to cooperate with him in the future. Ji Yao suddenly thought that this was a good candidate.

But as for whether others would pay attention to him or not, that was a question, but now it was impossible for Lu Jincheng to borrow money, and he already owed Qi Huaian a lot of favors that he had not repaid.

If you want to get money, Xu Ye's only way is now.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Yao decided to call Xu Ye and give it a try. If he didn't give him a call, it wouldn't be too late to think of other ways.

After dialing the phone number, the other party did not answer for a long time. Even when Ji Yao thought that the other party would not answer her call, the call was finally connected.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ji. I was busy earlier and happened to see the phone call. Do you want to see me for anything?"

Xu Ye's gentle and jade-like voice came from the opposite side, which surprised Ji Yao.

"That's it. Are you satisfied with the last design draft?"

Speaking of this, the other party laughed, and the laughter made people feel happy just hearing it.

"Of course I am satisfied. It is indeed Miss Ji's design. I think Miss Ji's ability is now comparable to that of the chief designer."

This can be regarded as a high praise for Ji Yao's design.

Ji Yao didn't expect that Xu Ye would comment on her design like this. She was happy for a moment, and then quickly remembered the main reason for her call.

"It's like this. Do you still need the design drawing? I'm short of money recently, so I can give it to you cheaper."

Xu Ye was in trouble at this time. To be honest, he didn't need it much recently, but Ji Yao needed money at this time. If he helped Ji Yao, he would be giving her a favor.

So next time when she is in need, Ji Yao will be too embarrassed to refuse for the sake of this favor, right?

He was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that he was out of town now and might not be able to give Ji Yao any help.
