Chapter 669 - 669: Zhao Guo'an Borrows Money

"It's really a shame that scumbag Bi Quan got away. When I have the time, I'm going to give him a proper lesson," Xiao Feng said with a look of regret.

Lu Yao chuckled, "Brother Yanhuang, I checked earlier and in a few days, Shihan's favorite singer is performing in Jiangcheng, right? Bi Junxian's company is hosting the event, and there's a rumor he will be there in person."

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. If that's the case, he wouldn't have to go looking for them.

Just then, Zhao Guo'an's phone rang.

Zhen Jinghan glanced at it and saw the screen displayed "Grandson."

"Hello, grandson, why are you calling me?" Zhao Guo'an asked in a feigned tone.

A young man's voice came through the receiver: "Do you know what day it is today?"

"What day?" Zhao Guo'an was puzzled. "I don't think today is any significant holiday, right?"

"Hehe, you're done for," the young man sneered.

"Bullshit!" Zhao Guo'an roared angrily, "You're the one who's done for."

The young man wasn't fazed, his tone playful, "Let's just wait and see."

From his tone, it seemed like he was ready to hang up.

"Wait!" Zhao Guo'an panicked and asked, "What exactly is today?"

The young man didn't keep him in suspense and revealed the answer, "Today is my grandfather's eightieth birthday. He just told everyone that Little Anzi would definitely bring him a special birthday present.

You know, my grandfather loves saving face the most. If you embarrass him in front of everyone, you know what the consequences are."

"Damn!"

Zhao Guo'an shivered in fear and quickly checked the calendar. After confirming the date, a cold sweat began to seep visibly across his forehead.

At this time, the young man added, "Don't say I didn't warn you, handle it yourself, bye."

"Wait, wait, wait! You quickly go buy a gift, and I'll transfer the money to you later," Zhao Guo'an said while wiping his cold sweat.

The young man refused without hesitation, "Forget it, when you say later, it pretty much means never. Don't even think about me fronting the money for you."

"Don't just watch me flounder, grandson, I've always treated you well," Zhao Guo'an pleaded.

"Who's the grandson now?"

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

The young man prompted, "I'm asking you, who did you say is the grandson?"

"Me, me, me, I'm the grandson, alright? Just help me out," Zhao Guo'an conceded.

"Then transfer the money promptly," the young man retorted.

Zhao Guo'an had no choice but to agree, saying, "Fine, I'll transfer one million to you later. You can choose a birthday gift."

"One million, hmm... that should be enough," the young man chuckled, "but let me state up front, you give me a million, I'll only buy something worth around half a million for you."

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious? The other half million is my service fee, can't expect me to run errands for free, can you?"

"Fifty thousand for running an errand, do you have no shame?"

The young man remained unfazed, "Watch your tone and language, right now you're the one asking for my help, not the other way around. If you piss me off, I might just tell my grandpa that you actually forgot his birthday."

"Do you think my mentor would believe that?"

"Hehe, I have a recording."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

After fuming for a while, Zhao Guo'an asked, "Where are my parents?"

"With my grandpa, chatting over tea. Honestly, if it wasn't for them asking me, do you think I'd call to remind you?" the young man laughed. "Give up any illusions, right now, the only one who can and will help you is me."

"Fine, grandson, just you wait!" Zhao Guo'an gritted his teeth.

The young man seemed indifferent, chuckling lightly, "I'm waiting... waiting for you to send the money."

Then, he hung up.

Although the details weren't clear to everyone, the general gist could be understood.

Simply put, Zhao Guo'an forgot his mentor's birthday, and was being extorted by the mentor's grandson.

"Old Zhao, you even forgot your mentor's birthday. It seems you're not just morally questionable, you lack personal integrity too," the young girl taunted directly.

Zhao Guo'an had no mood to argue with the young girl and instead ran over to Xiao Feng, rubbing his hands, "Old Xiao, I'm in urgent need, lend me one hundred and fifty thousand first. I'll pay you two hundred thousand back later."

"I heard it clearly just now, your mentor's grandson said when you say 'later,' it's basically never," Xiao Feng chuckled. "And do you remember how you responded when I tried to borrow money from you recently?"

"That time was my mistake. Now you really can't just watch me suffer. You don't understand my mentor's temper, it could really become a problem, really!" Zhao Guo'an pleaded eagerly.

Xiao Feng chuckled, "Goodbye!"

With that, he turned and left, his steps carefree.

Finally, he avenged himself!

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

What goes around comes around. Karma is relentless. It used to be him saying goodbye, now it's the other way around.

The young girl saw Zhao Guo'an looking at her, and immediately declared, "Don't look at me, I'm still young and don't have one hundred and fifty thousand."

"I actually have..." Lu Yao said.

Zhao Guo'an's eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Lu Yao was dragged away by the young girl.

Lin Zhiyan shook her head with a smile, "I could lend it to you, but I'm curious, won't even one hundred and fifty thousand do you have?"

"I have one hundred and fifty thousand," Zhao Guo'an smiled bitterly. "But I was afraid Old Xiao would ask me for a loan, so I turned it all into a fixed deposit. Now I can't access it."

Lin Zhiyan was speechless, "Alright, I'll transfer it to you now."

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Guo'an said, full of gratitude. "This really saves me, as soon as I get the money out, I promise the... "

Before he could finish, Lin Zhiyan started searching in her pocket, puzzled, "Eh? Where's my phone?"

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

So he had been happy for nothing.

He didn't suspect Lin Zhiyan of trying to mess with him this way; it was most likely the phone was lost, or it was taken by Xiao Feng or the young girl.

But regardless of the possibility, he could not get the one hundred and fifty thousand.

"Wait a moment, I'll go find it," Lin Zhiyan turned around and left.

For a moment, Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness; was this not a case of shooting himself in the foot?

Not long after, Zhen Jinghan came out of the room and asked, "Shihan told me you needed to borrow money? How much, I'll transfer it right now."

"Ahem, it's not necessary," Zhao Guo'an shook his head and declined.

He knew that if he asked Zhen Jinghan, not to mention one hundred and fifty thousand, even fifteen million would be transferred in an instant.

But as a grown man borrowing money from his girlfriend, wouldn't that make people think he was living off her?

Zhao Guo'an felt he couldn't stand such humiliation, so he absolutely couldn't borrow the money!
