Luo Qi had to transfer money to her every month; Cui Peng didn’t believe that Luo Qi was not aggrieved by the situation.

Whatever Luo Yu did to her that day, she would pay it back double to Luo Qi.

“If you are busy, I don’t mind coming to your office on the 15th of every month to remind you.”

Cui Peng stood up and said, “I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Luo Qi suppressed her anger and said, “Do you think you can come to my office whenever you want?”

Cui Peng smiled, “Didn’t I tell you, if you have the ability to pay it back in one go, that’s also fine.” 

Of course, she knew that Luo Qi didn’t have the money to pay it back, so she could only bear the indignity of asking her new boyfriend to lend it to her.

But it was still up to the other party to decide whether he was willing to lend it to her or not.

Paying back money to her every month would be very frustrating.

But if Luo Qi opened her mouth to ask a man to lend her the money, then she would fatally damage her self-esteem.

This was the exact effect that Cui Peng wanted.

Luo Qi put down the report she had been reading—she has never felt so disgusted in her life.

“I will repay the money in one lump sum. Take the money and go away. Don’t appear in front of me before December. I have recorded this account against you today, and I will make you regret it.”

Cui Peng was not afraid of the threat and sat down again, “Then I’ll wait here and see.”

Let’s see what Luo Qi could do to her.

The IOU was in her bag. “When the money is paid back, I will give the IOU to you.”

Luo Qi first called her father and then her Eldest Uncle to confirm the assignment of creditor’s rights. Eldest Uncle kept apologizing. By the time he found out, his wife had already signed the house purchase agreement.

Luo Qi received Cui Peng’s ID information. After confirming that it was correct, she sent a message to Jiang Shenghe: [Are you busy?]

At this point, she could only ask Jiang Shenghe to lend her the money.

If you ask her to transfer money to Cui Peng every month, there was no way she could do it.

Five minutes passed, and Jiang Shenghe still hasn’t replied.

Luo Qi suddenly remembered that he had an important contract signing today; his cell phone would not be with him at this moment.

Cui Peng brought her own water tumbler and leisurely opened it to drink some water. “I’m not in a hurry. You can slowly raise the money.” Seeing Luo Qi being forced into this, she felt very happy indeed.

She accidentally glanced at the diamond ring on Luo Qi’s finger—it was inexplicably dazzling.

Luo Qi looked at the time. She would wait a few more minutes; if there’s still no response, she would ask Jian Hang to lend it to her first, and then ask Jiang Shenghe to transfer the money to Jian Hang later.

But just two minutes later, Jiang Shenghe’s text came in: [I was in the middle of a call earlier. Not busy right now.]

Luo Qi had originally thought that it would be difficult to borrow money from Jiang Shenghe, but it wasn’t difficult at all when she was typing it out.

[Can you lend me nine million to pay back the debt my family owes? I need it urgently right now.]

Jiang Shenghe’s call came the next second, “I’ll transfer it to you right away.” He then asked, clearly worried, “Did your eldest aunt say something nasty again?”

“No. She just assigned the debt to someone else.”

Luo Qi was transferred away from the President’s Office. In the eyes of her eldest aunt, she was already far away from the center of power in Yuanwei. There was no need for her to fear reprisal from ‘Mr. Bai’ anymore. After all, ‘Mr. Bai’ would not help Luo Qi threaten her eldest aunt unconditionally.

But her eldest aunt miscalculated. It was not Mr. Bai who threatened her on the phone but Jiang Shenghe himself.

Jiang Shenghe said, “Mr. Bai is still your eldest aunt’s biggest customer now. I just need to say the word.”

“No need. She has always bullied the weak but feared the strong. No matter how you teach her, she can’t possibly change. I’ll deal with her slowly in the future.”

As for the business, they still needed to consider her eldest cousin, and they had to take care that Mr. Bai won’t get dragged in.

Luo Qi took out her wallet to look for her bank card. When she saw one of his black cards as well as his salary card, she suddenly smiled and said, “I have your cash card here. Do you still have one left with you?”

Jiang Shenghe also smiled, “Yes. I have a small treasury.”

Luo Qi joked, “Ahh, I see you’ve been saving up secretly. I will have to check your accounts when I get home.”

“Okay, I’ll show you all my spending details.”

Cui Peng sneered coldly at this show of affection.

Looking at the black card in Luo Qi’s hand, it was even more dazzling than the diamond ring. 

She wondered if the man on the other end of the phone was out of his mind. He had given Luo Qi his black card and savings card—he was obviously not right in the head.

Luo Qi reported her card number to Jiang Shenghe, “If it’s inconvenient for you to remember, I’ll take a photo of it and send it to you.”

“It’s convenient, I’ve written it down.” Jiang Shenghe said to the phone, “Luo Qi, thank you.” 

She was willing to ask him for the money, and she thought of him immediately when something urgent happened to her.

He didn’t know that the creditor was in her office, so he didn’t hang up the phone and stayed chatting with her, “I was on the phone with Mom just now, and she said she would like you to take me home for dinner when you are free.”

Luo Qi heard this and was thoroughly confused, “Why does your mother want me take you home for dinner?”

If she went to their home, he would be the one taking her.

Jiang Shenghe explained, “I wasn’t talking to Professor Liang.”

Luo Qi: “…”

It turned out that the ‘Mom’ he mentioned was her own mother.

“What did my mother say to you on the phone?”

“Mom also has to take my preferences into consideration when designing the terrace,” he said.

Jiang Shenghe asked, “So when will you take me home for dinner?”

“Let’s wait for a holiday break. You can’t just change how you call her to ‘Mom’ when I take you home.”

“I know, I will still call her ‘Aunt Jiang’.”

But in truth, when she heard him call her mother ‘Mom’, she had never felt so close to him.

She was so busy chatting with her husband, she almost forgot that there was someone else in her office.

“You transfer the money to me first, and we can talk more when we get home tonight.”

Jiang Shenghe asked her to wait for two minutes. He hadn’t transferred money in a long time and couldn’t remember his password. His first attempt failed, and he had to try again.

After talking to Jiang Shenghe on the phone, Luo Qi’s heart—which had felt terribly blocked by this disgusting situation—suddenly felt relieved and at ease.

While waiting for the money transfer, Luo Qi poured herself a glass of warm water and resumed reading the report in her hand while drinking.

Cui Peng couldn’t stand her pretentious posture and demeanor, “Can you still stand to read right now?”

“Do you think I’m like you?”

“Heh,” Cui Peng scoffed and said, “You won’t have a good time if you stay in Ruipu. But I can make it easy for you. Let’s make a deal. If you cooperate with Shu Rui’s work, I promise not to show up in front of you again.”

“Such deep feelings, does Shu Rui know?”

“You don’t need to worry about my affairs.”

“This is exactly what I want to say to you. You don’t have to worry about my affairs. You might as well plan more for yourself when you have some free time.” Luo Qi raised her head to drink water and glanced at her, “I hope you are lucky enough to get Shu Rui before December.”

After a pause, she continued, “Unfortunately, Shu Rui doesn’t like you.”

Cui Peng: “…”

That mouth was not only arrogant but also poisonous!

Cui Peng’s expression changed again and again, and finally she said with indifference, “Shu Rui already knows that I have something to do with you and Pei Shixiao breaking up, do you still think you can provoke him with this?”

Luo Qi took a sip of water and said, “You have such a big face to think that I would spend time provoking people because of you.”

Cui Peng really wanted to throw the water from her tumbler to Luo Qi’s face, but she still had to chase Shu Rui, so she could only to endure it.

Luo Qi’s phone vibrated: Jiang Shenghe had transferred the money.

Luo Qi also transferred the money to Cui Peng directly. She felt bad luck just by entering Cui Peng’s name and account number. Ugh.

The money has been repaid in full, and the IOU was returned to her hands.

Luo Qi ripped up the IOU and said, “The next time I talk to you, it will be when I personally deal with you and get you kicked out of Lingjia Capital. Two months. You can be happy until then.”
