Chapter 40 Writing an IOU
"He Yongsheng, do you think I'm just bored and have nothing better to do than come here?"
"Or do you think I want something from you? Is it the smell of smoke from you, or your warped values?"
Mu Xiaowan's beautiful eyes turned cold. "He Yongsheng, you wouldn't have pocketed all that money, would you?"
"Mu Xiaowan, don't try to pin this on me. I didn't do it, and I'd rather die than admit it."
"So you're saying we're not getting the money today?" Mu Xiaowan's eyes gradually sharpened, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a threat in her words.
He Yongsheng believed he hadn't taken it, and he was quite assertive about it.
Yesterday, the whole family almost came to blows over this money, and they started to suspect each other.
He knew what kind of person his ex-mother-in-law was.
Let's not even talk about whether she took the money or not. Even if she did take it, getting it back from her would be like climbing to heaven.
“I swear, I didn’t take any money, and as for the others, they are not my concern.”
“We didn’t take any money. If we had, would we still be here?” He Yongli quickly defended herself.
Having learned from the previous experience, Mu Xiaowan didn't go inside, but paced back and forth at the door.
“Yesterday, Chu Junbai said that such a big matter should be resolved by calling the police. I was thinking that since the amount of money was so large, if it was found out that you really took it, you would probably be in jail. I was still thinking about that relationship.”
"Since you all say you didn't take it, then let's not wrong you. I think we should call the police."
Seeing Mu Xiaowan's firm tone, the group of people present became suspicious again. Was the money really lost?
Could it be that the person present took the money?
When Liu Guilan heard that calling the police might mean going to jail, she became frightened.
She didn't take the money, but who knows if Mu Baogui did? What if he gets arrested?
Wouldn't that cost her her life?
"Don't threaten us with calling the police all the time. What evidence do you have that we took your money?" Liu Guilan always spoke with such confidence.
At this moment, Mu Baogui quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Guilan aside, saying, "Mom, if you took this money, tell me where you put it right away. I'll hide it, and then you can insist that you didn't take it, and they won't be able to do anything to you."
"As long as I'm alright, even if you're locked up, there will be people watching over you, right? Besides, didn't you take that money for me?"
Liu Guilan angrily slapped Mu Baogui, "What are you thinking? If I took this money, would I still be sleeping on the floor?"
There was only one bed and one sofa here, and the group of them had nowhere to sleep, so they had to sleep on the floor.
Because of this, Liu Guilan scolded Mu Xiaowan quite a bit.
If it weren't for Mu Xiaowan, she could have stayed in the Chu family and enjoyed good treatment; she wouldn't have stayed for more than ten days or half a month.
"Could it be that He Yongsheng really took this money?" Mu Baogui's suspicions grew stronger in his mind.
"He must have used that money to support that rich girl!"
Mu Xiaowan said, "He Yongsheng, I saw you enter our room that day with my own eyes. You can't deny it."
Mu Xiaowan's sharp voice, with its uncompromising tone, momentarily stunned He Yongsheng.
“Your motive is also very clear: you are short of money, and you need to pay for Ge Qingran's food, drink, and even her basic needs require high expenses. What do you think will happen if this investigation is conducted?”
"Furthermore, if people find out that Ge Qingran and you are living together before marriage, and that this kind of illicit relationship and immoral behavior gets out, and Ge Qingran has someone protecting her, how far do you think your career will go?"
She needed to give He Yongsheng some strong medicine so he could win over Ge Qingran and get married as soon as possible; she couldn't wait.
Mu Xiaowan sneered and was about to walk out when He Yongsheng called her back before she had taken three steps.
"I can't come up with the money right now, but I'll give you an IOU."
That bitch has him completely under her thumb.
He needs to submit a marriage application to Ge Qingran as soon as possible. Once the marriage application is approved and they get their marriage certificate, he will never admit to it, no matter what.
No matter how much Mu Xiaowan threatened him, he was no longer afraid.
Even if he realizes that Mu Xiaowan has framed him, there's nothing he can do about it now.
Mu Xiaowan was so confident because she knew exactly what was wrong with him.
That bitch, wait until he marries Ge Qingran, then we'll see how she threatens us.
“He Yongsheng, I knew it was you. You really know how to spend money. It hasn’t been that long and you can’t come up with any more.
Mu Xiaowan wasn't worried that He Yongsheng would sign an IOU and then not pay. As long as it was in black and white, no matter where he went, he would still have the money. She had plenty of ways to deal with it.
"Fine, I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge even when I'm in the right."
He Yongsheng quickly wrote a note.
Mu Xiaowan asked him to sign and put his fingerprint on the document.
“I’m taking this note. You have 10 days to raise the money, or I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait and will come after you to collect the debt.”
"Mu Xiaowan, you bitch, you're deliberately messing with me."
He Yongsheng was filled with remorse; he never expected Mu Xiaowan to be so despicable.
"He Yongsheng, you're overthinking things and overestimating yourself. What do you think makes me go to such lengths for you?"
Mu Xiaowan's gaze swept over her family.
“I advise you to go back as soon as possible. This is not a place for you. Otherwise, you might not even be able to go home.”
Liu Guilan cursed, "You brat, are you really not going to care about me anymore?"
"I made myself clear enough yesterday."
After saying this, Mu Xiaowan turned and left.
With Chu Junbai around yesterday, I felt a bit restricted, but today I feel really relaxed.
She was satisfied with the money; whether these people left or not didn't matter to her. As long as he didn't care, no one could do anything to him.
He Yongsheng probably won't keep them for long, since it would cost money to keep them.
As soon as Mu Xiaowan got home, Chu Shaoqing summoned her.
Chu Shaoqing got stuck halfway through his act and desperately needed Mu Xiaowan's guidance.
Mu Xiaowan didn't keep anything from Chu Shaoqing either.
She was very patient and meticulous, and Chu Shaoqing studied diligently.
After spending the whole afternoon, I finally got the tape recorder working.
Chu Shaoqing was so excited that he couldn't speak when he succeeded in doing something for the first time.
He almost hugged Mu Xiaowan and spun her around.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so happy!"
Thank you! Thank you so much!
"Why thank me? This is your own talent. You'll have another skill to make a living from now on. I've already found a house today. If you're not busy tomorrow, come with me to the site to do some planning, then we'll go to the building materials market, see how other companies are doing, and look for supply channels."
"Okay, I won't go anywhere for the next two days, I'll just stay with my sister-in-law."
Chu Shaoqing's upturned lips couldn't be suppressed even by an AK.
At night, living room.
Chu Shaoting walked along, humming a song as she carried a tape recorder. Seeing Mu Xiaowan, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you like music?" Then, she looked surprised, "Oh, I forgot, sister-in-law, you've probably never even seen a tape recorder before!"
"Logically, we're family, so I should lend it to you to play with, but this thing is quite expensive, and it would be troublesome if you broke it."
