Chapter 45 Hu Xiyu's Mother
Chapter 45 Hu Xiyu's Mother
Xiao Qiyuan was so angry he laughed at himself.
Just then, his stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and Xiao Qiyuan angrily ordered six dishes, which he then ate right there at the Chenxi Hotel.
When it was time to pay the bill after the meal, Xiao Qiyuan was filled with regret.
That one meal cost him almost half a month's salary!
Back in her suite, Song Qianyi had no idea that someone had been waiting for her downstairs for ages.
Song Qianyi then opened the system's rewards.
She's going to F country after the New Year, and now that we have this estate, Hu Xiyu can make arrangements in F country in advance.
She will need someone from her own side to be stationed in F country, but it is unknown whether Hu Xiyu is willing to be stationed in F country.
It's 9 p.m. now, not time to sleep yet. It's best to make arrangements for things in Country F as soon as possible.
Song Qianyi called Hu Xiyu directly.
To everyone's surprise, no one answered the phone.
Song Qianyi checked the time and guessed that Hu Xiyu might be taking a shower.
Just as Song Qianyi was about to make another call, her phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Hu Xiyu.
"Miss Qianyi, I'm so sorry, I just ran into some trouble."
Hu Xiyu's voice came through the receiver, carrying a hint of urgency and apology.
"What trouble? Has it been resolved?"
Song Qianyi frowned slightly, her tone revealing concern.
Hu Xiyu was about to take a shower when someone rang the doorbell. When she opened the door, she found it was her mother.
Moreover, her mother had a beaming smile on her face, which was very unusual.
Hu Xiyu paused on the other end of the phone and explained, "My mom is here."
After they finished speaking, both of them fell silent. Song Qianyi knew that Hu Xiyu's mother was a person who favored sons over daughters.
Song Qianyi had always known that Hu Xiyu frequently sent money back home, but since Hu Xiyu didn't say anything, Song Qianyi didn't want to overstep her bounds.
Song Qianyi broke the silence first, her voice soft yet firm, "Sister Xiyu, you can tell me anything."
Then Song Qianyi asked, "So, what brings your mother here?"
Hu Xiyu hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone, "Miss Qianyi, I don't know why she came this time. Her smiling face is making me feel uneasy."
Song Qianyi hesitated for a moment, "Sister Xiyu, don't panic. See what she wants to say and adapt accordingly. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
Hu Xiyu replied, "Okay, Miss Qianyi. Thank you for your concern."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Xiyu took a deep breath and turned to face her mother.
Hu Xiyu forced a smile and asked, "Mom, why did you come all of a sudden? Is something the matter?"
With a beaming smile, Hu's mother took Hu Xiyu's hand and said, "Pan...Xiyu, Mom has come to tell you some good news."
Hu Xiyu's doubts deepened. When had her mother ever called her Xiyu? This was probably not good news at all.
So he asked, "What good news?"
Hu's mother said mysteriously, "Your brother recently met a big boss who really appreciates him. He said he'll give him a great opportunity to make a lot of money."
Hu Xiyu felt little joy upon hearing this. She knew that whenever her mother mentioned her younger brother, it was never anything good.
Sure enough, Mrs. Hu continued, "But this opportunity requires some capital. I was thinking that since you work in the city, you must have some savings. Why don't you help your brother out and give him some capital?"
Hu Xiyu's face turned somewhat pale, and she said, "Mom, I transfer money to you every month, but I don't have any savings now. Life isn't easy for me in the city, and my remaining salary is just enough to cover my expenses."
Hu's mother's smile vanished, replaced by displeasure.
"How can you be so useless? You've been working in the city for so long and you don't even have any savings? Your brother has such a great opportunity now, if you don't help him, who will?"
As if she had thought of something, Hu's mother lowered her voice again.
"Xiyu, it was my tone that was off. Didn't you just call your boss? Why don't you ask her to lend you some money?"
Hu Xiyu stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
"Mom, how could you let me borrow money from my boss?"
Although Miss Qianyi would definitely lend her money, she didn't want to lend money for her so-called younger brother.
However, Hu's mother disagreed.
"Why not? Your boss must have money. Just say nice things to her and ask her to lend your brother some money. Once your brother makes a lot of money, he can pay her back right away."
Hu Xiyu was trembling with anger, and she tried her best to suppress her emotions.
Regardless of whether he can make money or not, even if he does, his mother will definitely make him pay it back.
"I won't do that."
Upon hearing this, Hu's mother's expression immediately changed, and she began to shout and curse.
"You heartless wretch! Your brother's future is ruined because of you! If you don't help him, don't call me your mother anymore!"
