Chapter 288 Keep Her Calm First.

When the call was put through, a cry came out from the other end of the line before Xia Yu started to talk. “Xia Yu, why don’t you call me earlier?”

“What’s the matter? What happened?” When she heard her crying, Xia Yu felt that something was wrong. Who was Li Feiran? How could she be so fragile?

“Xia Yu, you must give me a hand this time. I will die if you do not help me.”

“Tell me something about it. I will definitely help you if I can.”

Xia Yu’s heart was lifted to her mouth when she said she would die. What had happened that made it so serious? Li Feiran gritted her teeth and answered. “Wang Yu is a beast as well as a scumbag. Do you remember he wanted to make peace with me, but I refused last time? He was not willing to reconcile so that the beast used my photos and videos on the bed to threaten me. He asked me to give him money, or he would post them in public to make me utterly discredited. If those are released on the Internet, I will be screwed.”

Xia Yu was shocked. She once saw Li Feiran’s boyfriend from a distance at the gate of the company. It was a gentleman whose style of conversation and temperament was good.

Nevertheless, wasn’t Chen Wenxuan the same at the beginning? And that the man could reconcile with her because of the demolition of her old house just proved that he was not a nice guy.

“How much does he want?”

“He wants five million yuan. How can I have so much money? Xia Yu, help me, please. Can you lend me some money?” Li Feiran cried and said so. She almost had a breakdown.

The man named Wang Yu was so despicable that he asked Li Feiran for five million yuan. Didn’t he think that Li Feiran, a white-collar worker of a company, only had a monthly salary of ten or twenty thousand yuan?

Five million yuan, how could he open his mouth?

“He, how much did he ask for?” Xia Yu suddenly woke up and jumped out of the bed directly.

Li Feiran’s crying continued to come over the line. “My house in the county is not very valuable and my father is in poor health. How can I ask them for money? But that bastard listened to rumors from other people that I had affairs with a lot of bosses so that I owned lots of money…”

When Xia Yu first started to work at Tengfei, some people indeed talked about her in the same way secretly. Putting this kind of rumors aside, Xia Yu felt ashamed about Wang Yu’s blatant extortion. “Even if you give this kind of person five million yuan, he will ask for ten million next time. It’s a bottomless pit. Li Feiran, call the police! This is the only solution. You can’t give him the money. ”

“No, I can’t call the police, or he will release the photos and videos online. Xia Yu, I beg you. Please lend me some money. I can only beg you now. Four million is ok. I have some savings that I intend to look for a house and pay the down payment. I will give it to him now.”

Li Feiran was very resistant to call the police and she reacted violently. Once this kind of thing was revealed, she would be humiliated. Also, she didn’t have any other rich friends.

Since Xia Yu was in a relationship with Shen Yan, maybe she had some money. So, she could only ask Xia Yu for help.

Hearing about Li Feiran’s crying, Xia Yu felt anxious and uncomfortable. After all, they were colleagues and she asked Xia Yu for help. Xia Yu decided to help her deal with it, anyway. “Li Feiran, calm down. I will think over it. Try to delay for a few days. Five million is not a small number.”

She was afraid that Li Feiran would be cornered by Wang Yu and went to the extreme to go to a loan shark. Those loan sharks were a group of people who treated others ruthlessly and cruelly. So, she decided to keep Li Feiran calm first.

“Okay, ok, thank you. Thanks.” Xia Yu didn’t refuse her, which made Li Feiran see some hope. Even if Xia Yu couldn’t lend her four million, half of it was ok, too. She would bargain with that scumbag to see if he could not ask for so much money.

Li Feiran only knew that Xia Yu was in love with Shen Yan. But in fact, she never used a penny from him. Not to mention two million, she still owed Shen Yan and Shen Qiang money. How could she have any money left to lend her?

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu thought about it and finally decided to tell Shen Yan. His background was stronger so that it would be faster for him to investigate someone.

When she was about to knock at the door of Shen Yan, it was opened from inside. Seeing Xia Yu standing at the door, he said cheerfully, “We really see eye to eye, Xia Yu. I’m going to see you. Let’s have lunch together, ok?”

After pushing Shen Yan to his room, she shut the door and told that to Shen Yan. Anyway, Li Feiran was also his employee. He should be in charge of this.

After hearing this with his eyebrows frowned, he said to Xia Yu. “I will ask someone to investigate him first. She can’t give him the money because human greed is a bottomless pit. Actually, calling the police is the best choice.”

“She reacted violently when she heard about police and insisted on giving him the money. I couldn’t even persuade her.” Xia Yu also suggested this to Li Feiran, but she was very repulsive about it. So Xia Yu could only respect her choice at that moment.

Since they had to go to work a moment later, they just talked about it simply and came out of the room without delay.

Jiangjiang had already sat at the table and eaten breakfast. When he saw them come out, he came to them at once. “Auntie, I haven’t played with you for a few days, and so it is with my father. Today I want you to drive me to the kindergarten.”

Xia Yu remembered that Xie Gendi would take Jiangjiang back to the countryside some days later when she was discharged from the hospital. Thinking about this, she felt reluctant in her heart. So, she agreed. “Well, I will drive you to the kindergarten with your father.”

Jiangjiang’s little eyes were full of passion when he looked at Shen Yan. “My aunt promises me. What about you, Dad!”

“Promise me, Dad, please!” Shen Yan put a small steamed bun in his bowl. “But you have to promise Dad to eat this first!”

Shen Yan picked up another steamed bun and gave it to Jiangjiang when he saw Jiangjiang didn’t eat much. He was afraid that Jiangjiang would get hungry in kindergarten.

“Okay, I eat it!” Jiangjiang couldn’t help dancing when Shen Yan agreed on his requirement. He could eat two steamed buns, not just one.

“Drink another glass of milk, Jiangjiang.” Xia Yu persuaded him aside.

“I’m full now!” Jiangjiang acted mischievously this time.

Xia Yu pretended to be angry and said. “Why do you agree to eat only when dad asks you to do so, but not listen to Auntie?”

“Don’t you understand this? Dad is more intimate than an aunt.” Shen Yan showed off on the side.

After they sent Jiangjiang to the kindergarten and returned to the office, Li Feiran made a phone call. She was panicked and said helplessly on the phone. “Xia Yu, Wang Yu that bastard posted several bed photos of me on the Internet, and fortunately there were mosaics on them. He threatened me that I only had three days, and if I couldn’t get five million in three days, there would be no mosaics on these photos and videos.”

She chocked with sobs when she said the last few words. Her voice was trembling due to fear.

“Lend me five million, Xia Yu. I am going to be crazy. I promise I will give it back to you afterward. Please lend me.” She cried and begged Xia Yu.

“Li Feiran, where are you now?” Xia Yu did not answer her directly. She just asked.

“I am at home. I asked for a leave this morning. Now I can’t go anywhere. Once I go out, some hooligans conducted by Wang Yu will follow me.” Li Feiran’s voice faltered.

“I am going to stay with you. Don’t be afraid.” She was now on the verge of collapse. Wang Yu had already released the photos. Although these were mosaics, it was undoubtedly pushing her to a dead end. At this moment, she was more likely to go to extremes. Someone must accompany her. Otherwise, there would be an accident.

Xia Yu stood up decisively. Then she came out and told a few words to Cai Yanyan. “I have a very important personal matter to deal with. Yanyan, call me if you have any problem.”

“Okay, call us when you need help.” Although Cai Yanyan felt very curious, she did not ask. Xia Yu usually did not take time off for private matters. Since she said so now, it must be very important.

“Not now!” Xia Yu said while walking outside. Her steps were quick and fast.

In the car, Xia Yu sent a message to Shen Yan and told him something about the current situation. Not long after the message was sent, his phone call came.

“You must be careful.” He said with concern.

“Ok, I know.”

“You must keep her calm first. I think we will quickly find out who Wang Yu colludes with.” Shen Yan said quickly. They even appointed some hooligans to monitor Li Feiran, which showed that this was premeditated. He could not ignore it.

“I know!” Xia Yu arrived at Li Feiran’s community soon. When she got off the bus, she saw three young men standing in the doorway and chatting while smoking. This reminded her of Li Feiran’s words.

These men might be those people who were hired by Wang Yu. Xia Yu pretended to be making a phone call and then approached them successfully, standing one meter away from them. So, she heard their conversation.

“Hey, that one whose surname is Li only looks pure outside. Although she is the executive of a big company, she is so coquettish that even the hookers outside can’t match her when she takes off her clothes.”

“This is because Wang Yu that little white face can seduce women. By the way, do you think that woman will give him five million?”

“Hey, does she dare to refuse? Those photos…” The voice suddenly stopped. Xia Yu took a glance at them and found that they were looking at her with defense and fierceness.

Xia Yu’s heart sank. She continued to pretend that she was making a phone call calmly until she arrived at the security booth. After explaining her intention to come here with the security guard, the guard called Li Feiran to check it and then let Xia Yu enter the community.

After entering, she looked back at those three young men and saw that they did not become suspicious about Xia Yu before she walked inside with confidence.

When Xia Yu came into Li Feiran’s apartment, Li Feiran held her and burst into tears. Even her voice broke. Xia Yu soothed her for a while until her mood became calm.

Xia Yu went to the bathroom to wet the towel. Then she took it out and asked Li Feiran to wipe her face. After that she found some ice from the refrigerator and wrapped it in a towel. Then she applied it to Li Feiran’s eyes. Her eyes were swollen, and her face was pale.

“Do you eat anything?” Xia Yu asked.

Li Feiran shook her head and said in a hoarse voice. “Boo-hoo, how can I be in the mood to eat?” She used her hands to cover her face and cried again.

Xia Yu sighed and comforted her for a long time.

Then she cooked some porridge for her and forced her to eat a bowl of it.

When Xia Yu finished cleaning the kitchen, Li Feiran couldn’t wait to ask Xia Yu about the money.
