Chapter 987: With Big Brother Here

You can only thicken your skin and say, “Uncle, I’m really out of options, you’re my only relative…”

Aunt is causing a fuss again, uncle said a few words, Ye Wanting didn’t hear clearly, then there was the sound of a door closing, he should be coming to the corridor now.

He didn’t speak immediately, presumably because he didn’t know how to start.

The wind blowing between floors all seeped into the phone.

Ye Wanting’s heart was all twisted up, “Uncle, please help me, I’ve really run out of money.”

“You…haven’t saved any money at all?” uncle probed.

“No, really none left.”

“Wanting, you know my situation.

Your aunt is quite formidable.

My salary card has been with her all these years, I have to ask her for money even to buy a pack of cigarettes, I personally really don’t have any savings, I have my difficulties too.”

“I know, just consider it as me borrowing from you, I’ll pay you interest, is that okay?”

“This…”

Uncle’s tone wasn’t one of persuasion, more like stalling for time.

“You too, before calling you should’ve sent me a message first.

I could’ve avoided your aunt answering.

Now she heard, and caused a scene, making it even harder for you to get money from her.

If I had a way, I would help you.

I heard tonight you bought two thousand worth of stuff for your aunt.

Well, I only have two hundred here, I’ll transfer it to you later, so you can handle the emergency first.”

Five hundred thousand for the surgery.

What’s two hundred gonna help with!

Ye Wanting felt a chill in her heart.

She heard her aunt’s voice again, “I warn you, if you dare give them a single penny, I’ll die for you to see!”

Uncle hurriedly hung up the phone.

Ye Wanting listened to the dial tone, put the phone down, looked up at the sky, and took a few heavy breaths.

If it weren’t for being pushed to the brink, who would endure such humiliation.

That was her own uncle.

Yaen Chi didn’t expect, upon seeing this girl again, she’d be so wretched.

He’s been following her the whole way.

Since she started making calls.

He smoked two cigarettes, neither finished, just a few puffs, before breaking them off.

He stood there watching Ye Wanting in her bewildered state, and her clothes stained with blood, his face growing more serious.

Later, she made several calls, all rejected, only her senior sister was willing to lend money, but only a few thousand.

She accepted, thanked her profusely, and even proactively promised interest.

Yaen Chi couldn’t stand listening anymore.

“Why didn’t you come to me?”

The suddenly sounding male voice startled Ye Wanting.

She was sitting beside the Flower Terrace, when she turned to look and saw no one, she stood up to glance around, just as Yaen Chi walked into her line of sight, her first reaction was actually to hide.

“Brother Chi, why are you here?”

“I had dinner with Xu Shu, he got a call for emergency shift, he didn’t drive, I dropped him here.”

Yaen Chi didn’t plan to go into details, he asked, “Who’s in trouble?”

Ye Wanting’s throat choked.

When she called to borrow money earlier, she didn’t mention it to anyone, Ye Cheng wasn’t worthy of her calling him brother, the very mention dirtied her mouth.

But if she ignored it, should she let her mother handle it?

Yaen Chi thought she was reluctant to say, he pinched out the cigarette, lifted her shoulder and didn’t move his hand away, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her inside.

“No worries, you have a brother here.”

After taking a few steps, he realized Ye Wanting was almost powerless, purely being dragged along by him, and he instinctively slowed his pace.

Near the payment counter, Ye Wanting suddenly reacted, moving sideways from under his arm.

“No, I can’t take your money.”
