Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Exposure (2)

For a moment, Ye Ling and Xia Yu were deeply troubled, unsure of what to do…

Elsewhere, Qiao Qiao saw Ye Shiqing hang up the phone and worried, “Should we really not intervene in this matter?”

Xia Yu had been kind to her before, wouldn’t it be ungrateful to not help her now?

“Xia Yu’s gambling addiction is beyond help; despite how many times we’ve advised her, she never listened. People need to learn their lesson the hard way! Besides, we have no connection with the Ye Family anymore, what right do you have to interfere? Or are you waiting for Xiandong to return?” Ye Shiqing looked at Qiao Qiao, his gaze growing colder.

Qiao Qiao avoided Ye Shiqing’s gaze: “This is my decision; it has nothing to do with you. I need to return to Qingmu Garden, Su Da just called me…”

“Am I going to eat you up? Just be obedient, finish dinner here before you leave,” Ye Shiqing interrupted Qiao Qiao.

After pondering, Qiao Qiao still made a call to Su Hongxing, telling her that she would be returning home late today.

No sooner had Su Hongxing hung up with Qiao Qiao, she received a call from Ye Ling.

“Sister-in-law…” As soon as Ye Ling started speaking, Su Hongxing felt a chill.

Ye Ling had always disdained her, and now she was calling her sister-in-law? Was she seriously ill?

“Ye Ling, if you need something from me, just say it. You’ve never liked me, why bother with such insincerity?” Su Hongxing responded calmly.

She had no particular fondness or dislike for Ye Ling, who was simply a spoilt young lady, not overly cunning, and her emotions were always clear on her face; such a person was not really harmful.

Ye Ling, unable to recover her pride, still braved herself to speak: “I was immature before, sister-in-law, please don’t hold it against me. But you are smart, you guessed right that I need to ask you for a favor…”

She went on to speak of her desire to borrow money. The matter was significant; without their villa, where would they live?

At times like this, pride was worthless.

“I’m just an employee, earning only a few thousand a month, where can I get twenty million for you? Ye Ling, you think too highly of me,” said Su Hongxing, but it was the truth.

“Didn’t you just remarry recently? That Mr. Ding, I heard he’s a big boss at Jufeng Group, he must be quite wealthy. Could you perhaps, for old times’ sake with my elder brother, ask Mr. Ding for a loan?” Ye Ling asked hesitantly, already feeling that Su Hongxing would likely refuse.

“I have no financial dealings with him, and I can’t ask him that. Also, I don’t think our relationship is that close. I’m sorry, I can’t help you.” This time, Su Hongxing wasn’t taking pleasure in another’s misfortune.

Even if Xia Yu deserved her plight due to her gambling debts, it had nothing to do with her; she had no need to kick someone when they were down.

And the more she thought about it, the less it seemed a coincidence.

“Sister-in-law, I was too presumptuous. You are much better than my other relatives, who mock and scorn us the moment they hear we need to borrow money.” At this moment, Ye Ling felt that Su Hongxing’s refusal to exploit their misfortune was truly exceptional.

“Ye Ling, you’re not young anymore, isn’t it time to start working for yourself? If you earn your own money, you won’t be so helpless in situations like this.” Seeing Ye Ling’s attitude improve, Su Hongxing couldn’t bear to speak harshly, still hoping that Ye Ling could break free from the Ye Family.
