Chapter 277 Gave Me One More Day

"It's true Wu Shiyu is my cousin. You know she won the competition following the regular rules. Honestly, if Wen Xiaoqian and others hadn’t quit, Wu Shiyu might not have signed the contract with us."

"But she is your cousin after all. Since she has already signed the contract, she should follow it through." Of course, Yang Ke'er knew why those people left. Wasn't Wu Shiyu the only hope for Tengfei?

Xia Yu smiled bitterly, "Miss Yang, you are not outsiders. I will be frank with you. If it's good for Tengfei that my cousin stays, she will."

"What do you mean?" Yang Ke'er looked at Xia Yu with her wide-open eyes.

"Don't you know what I mean? If she doesn't quit, she will get law suits. How can she an actress fight against Shen Mo? How can she represent Tengfei when her reputation is damaged?" Xia Yu exhaled. It was not that she didn't think of asking her cousin to stay. She didn't know how.

Of course, Yang Ke'er understood. But they would go after Shen Yan even Wu Shiyu left, "At least stick for a few more days, you can let her go after we figure out a solution."

"Do you think it's possible? I'm not afraid to tell you that she has stuck to this long enough. Shen Mo has talked to her many times. Do you think she can still stick to this?" Speaking of this, Xia Yu tightened her fists.

"Anyway, it's your fault." Yang Ke'er said unreasonably.

"Even if it is my fault. However, it has already happened. We need to work it out." Xia Yu didn't want to argue with her. She only lost her temper because of the irritability at heart.

"Work it out? How? Your solution was letting my brother Yan stick up to Headquarters and Liu Sijie finding Miaoke." Yang Ke'er stared at Xia Yu and said word by word, "It's useless. Liu Sijie can't persuade Miaoke to come back. I have received a confirmed message that Shen Mo asked her to leave as far as she could. Otherwise, she would bear the consequences."

Unreasonable like that? Threatening directly, not just Miaoke, even Xia Yu wouldn't dare to stay.

"Are you scared now? You compete with me on everything. If I'm Brother Yan's girlfriend, the result will be different." Yang Ke'er cast a contempt look at Xia Yu and left.

Yes, if Shen Yan was engaged with Yang Ke'er, it would save him a lot of trouble. But did Shen Yan want this?

Xia Yu found a place to sit down. It was her facing the walls when she went home. It was better to be outside smelling some fresh air.

She sat there until four in the afternoon. Xia Yu felt a little hungry. She found a random restaurant and ate something.

When she went out of the restaurant, she didn't call a cab. She wanted to have a look at her old neighborhood. She wanted to see if it was possible to ask Breakfast Lady about it. So, she went towards her old neighborhood.

She needed to pass an alley going back to her old neighborhood. It was getting dark. Thinking about stuff, Xia Yu didn't walk fast. When she was about to arrive at the end of the alley, there were roaring and begging voices coming from behind.

The voices were closer and closer. Xia Yu looked back seeing three strong men beating up another man. That man was howling and begging, "Brother, big brother, stop. I will pay your money back. Within these days, I will pay you back including the interests."

That man covered his head. But after hearing that voice, Xia Yu was stiff for a moment. That was Breakfast Lady's husband.

He at this moment was no longer fierce like he was before at the shop. He was like a beaten dog begging constantly on the ground. Xia Yu despised this kind of man who abused his wife and kid at home while got abused by others outside the most.

Let these men teach him a lesson for fear that he abused his wife again.

Xia Yu intended to leave. But she heard one of the strong men laughing obscenely and saying, "I know you don't have money. But your wife is kind of beautiful. You ask her to be a prostitute to pay your debt."

The slim tall man kneeling on the ground went stiff. The expression on his face changed at once. He shook his head scarily and said rapidly "No, no. If she becomes a prostitute, she will be cheating on me. No, big brother. I will find a way to pay you back. Just allow me a few more days."

"You piece of sh*t is afraid of being cheated! Hah" The three strong men laughed loudly.

The man's face went red after the humiliation. There was a slice of fierce look in his eyes. But it faded quickly into cowardice and scare. He laughed with those men awkwardly.

"I will give you three more days. If you can't give me 300 thousand within three days. You can choose which to be cut off your hand or your foot!"

One of the three strong men slapping on the man's face threatened him with a cruel look in his eyes.

The man's face went red to white instantly. He nodded and said yes. Three strong men let him go and left.

Seeing the man standing up from the ground and thinking about what those strong men said, Xia Yu was worried. If the man couldn't pay back the 300 thousand, he might really do the animal-like thing.

Only wish the man would have a little bit conscience. Otherwise, Breakfast Lady was too pathetic.

Xia Yu didn't want to go to the shop since the man went back. She didn't want to see him.

After Xia Yu arrived at home, Jiangjiang was all cleaned up by the servant and went into his room. Maybe he heard Xia Yu talking. He went out of his room and played with Xia Yu for a while. Then the servant took him back to his room.

After he was settled down, the servant came out and said to Xia Yu with a smile, "Miss Xia, did you eat? If you didn’t, I will warm up something for you."

Both Shen Yan and Liu Sijie didn't come back. The servant cooked a lot. She and Jiangjiang only ate some. And there were a lot of leftovers in the refrigerator.

"I have already eaten outside. Don't bother." Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Not bother at all!" The servant said, "I took Jiangjiang to the hospital to see his grandmother. His grandmother saw how good his grandson was taken cared by you guys. She was both grateful and guilty. She said she would take Jiangjiang back to their countryside home when she got out of the hospital."

The servant knew a few about the relationship between Jiangjiang and Shen Yan. People said that the rich people weren't kind, and they bullied the kind and innocent people. The Young Master of Shen Family was actually nice. He raised the kid of the woman who framed him.

"Aunt Xie has a hard life. It's just that Jiangjiang never lived in the countryside before. I'm afraid he won't be used to it." Xia Yu took a look at Jiangjiang's bedroom. She was worried about Jiangjiang's future.

A patient took care of a kid. It was hard to imagine how Jiangjiang's life would be in the countryside.

Especially it was a place like Xie Village. It was surrounded by mountains. All the young people went outside for jobs. Only a few old people left. They didn't even have cellphones.

"It's true. Even like us who work in the city for a long time aren't used to the countryside life. Not to mention it's the little kid like Jiangjiang." The servant felt the same. She talked to Xia Yu about Jiangjiang for a while and then went to do the housework.

Xia Yu sat on the sofa for a while and didn't watch TV. She thought about how to get close to Wen Xiaoqian. She was entranced in thought and didn't even notice Shen Yan and Liu Sijie coming back.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Yan sat beside Xia Yu. Liu Sijie sat opposite to her.

Judging by their postures she knew they had something to talk to her. Xia Yu braced herself up and said, "Nothing. I met an acquaintance today. I have some feelings when I saw her getting beat up badly by her husband. What about you guys? Any progress?"

Liu Sijie exhaled and said, "It's not just bad."

Xia Yu wasn't surprised. She heard from Yang Ke'er. Shen Mo wanted to play it the hard way without any disguise.

"Old Madame doesn't even restrain him." Liu Sijie was really upset. When he went to see Miaoke, Miaoke was so scared that her face was white. She kept saying that she didn't dare to cross with either one of the Shen Family Young Masters. She begged to leave her alone. She even asked whether it was enough that she quit the entertainment business. Her pathetic look made Liu Sijie sulk inside.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Last time after we exposed Jiang Yayan's swindle in the Press Conference, who didn't know that Jiang Yayan was manipulated by Shen Mo? Old Madame didn't restrain him that time. There is no way she will restrain him in the future."

"Does she want to let him bring down Shen Group?" Although Liu Sijie knew it was useless whining about it. He was disgusted with Shen Mo's unscrupulous behavior.

"I think he has lost his mind. If he keeps doing these crazy things, the board members will lose faith in him sooner or later. He is digging his own grave." Shen Yan said in a calm tone.

"But before that our lives will be hard." Liu Sijie pulled his tie off and threw it aside, "What do we do now? They are coming at us like crazy dogs. We have to deal with them."

"There must be a way. Give me one more day." Xia Yu said. She had made up her mind. She needed to find Wen Xiaoqian the next day one way or another.

"OK. I will give you one more day!" Shen Yan stood up and went towards his study. If the worst came to the worst, he would fight him head on, didn't his Shengda have enough vulnerabilities?

"Then it's up to you tomorrow. It's getting late. Just go to bed." Xia Yu was injured. She couldn't work overtime. Liu Sijie also went into Shen Yan's study after saying this.

The next day morning Xia Yu arrived at the breakfast shop again. She wanted information from Breakfast Lady for sure. But she was also worried about her. Xia Yu was worried since she heard the talk in the alley last night.

When she arrived at the shop, the door was closed. She knocked but no answer. Xia Yu went to the shop next to it and bought two steamed stuff buns and a cup of soybean milk.

When she was about to leave, she saw Breakfast Lady coming from the opposite side of the road. Her head drooped and there was a plastic bag in her hand. When she was close, Xia Yu found out it was a pharmacy's bag.

Xia Yu stopped and waited for her. When she was near, she didn't see Xia Yu because of her drooping head. Xia Yu called her.

"Miss Xia, good morning!" Breakfast Lady greeted her and drooped her head again. It looked like she didn't want people to see her face.

"Breakfast Lady, I want to talk to you about something. Can we go into your shop?" Xia Yu thought about it. She decided to tell her about what she heard in the alley last night.

If her husband didn't have the money and was forced to say yes to those men, Breakfast Lady would be prepared.

Breakfast Lady said yes and opened the door. Xia Yu followed her in.

"Miss Xia, what do you want to talk about?"
