Chapter 420: Borrowing Money From Tan Si
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Cheng choked upon Tan Si’s words. He had not expected to be questioned like this.
In the past, Tan Si had always spoken softly to him, afraid that she would not be gentle and considerate enough. This also made Si Cheng used to the other party’s fawning.
He did not expect her to look at him with such disgust. She even started to roll her eyes. Anyone with eyes could tell that she was impatient.
“Tan Si, you weren’t like this in the past,” Si Cheng lamented.
Unfortunately, Tan Si was not in the mood to reminisce about the past with him. Of course, she knew that she was not like this in the past. That was because Si Cheng’s ident.i.ty was worth currying favor with. She coveted his wife’s status.
Si Cheng was just an ordinary person now. Tan Si was definitely going to marry into a wealthy family, so she naturally did not treat him well.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t talk nonsense here.” Tan Si’s tone was cold. “I’ve been very busy recently.”
Of course, Si Cheng was here to borrow money, but he couldn’t let go of his pride for a moment. He lowered his head and didn’t say a word for a long time.
Tan Si lost her patience and was about to close the door. Si Cheng knew that he could not hesitate anymore and hurriedly said, “Can you lend me some money?”
This sounded like a joke. Tan Si did not know where he got the courage to borrow money from her.
Tan Si looked at Si Cheng playfully. “How much do you want to borrow?”
Si Cheng thought that there was a turning point and said, “Not much. Just five million yuan.”
Tan Si really wanted to send him straight to the hospital to check on his brain. Was five million “not much”?
“Si Cheng, our relationship isn’t so good that we can just lend each other money.” Tan Si sneered.
Si Cheng’s face turned red, but Tan Si was his last hope. He said humbly, “On account of our past relationship, I’m going to use this money to go to the company to make a turnover. I’ll definitely return it to you as soon as the profits come in.”
As a popular female celebrity, Tan Si could indeed fork out five million yuan, but she would not lend a single cent to Si Cheng.
“Relationship? You found a stranger in Ma City to humiliate me and made me think that the child in my stomach was yours. Then, you even made a statement and made me the third party in everyone’s eyes.” Tan Si snorted coldly. “Is this the relationship you’re talking about?”
Tan Si had never really loved Si Cheng. Now that she spoke mercilessly, Si Cheng could not withstand it at all.
Si Cheng looked at her. “You were the one who said that you loved me. You said that even if I was your brother-in-law, you wouldn’t be able to control your heart and would rather follow me without a status for the rest of my life. Have you forgotten?”
“How old are you to still believe such words?” Tan Si said. “I was lying to you. If I really liked you, I wouldn’t have gotten Jiang An to marry you for me back then.”
Si Cheng panicked. The Si family’s bankruptcy had already dealt him a heavy blow. He was determined to make a comeback.
From the bottom of his heart, he still thought that he was still the elegant young master from before. Many people liked him.
Tan Si’s words today almost destroyed all his self-esteem and made him understand that he was no longer the Si Cheng he used to be.
Seeing that he had suffered a huge blow, Tan Si was very happy. “Who are you doing this for? I have nothing to do with you at the end of the day. If you really lack money, ask Jiang An for it. She’s the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and has plenty of money. You have two children between you. She won’t watch you live on the streets.”
It would have been better if he didn’t say this, so Si Cheng just gritted his teeth in hatred.
On the day of the banquet, Zou Bai had made it clear in front of him that the two children were not his at all, but Zou Bai and Jiang An’s.
His wife giving birth to another man’s child was a great humiliation to Si Cheng, but he still had to bear the t.i.tle of the children’s biological father.
If he could, he really wanted to announce the truth, but he couldn’t afford to offend Zou Bai.
If he told anyone about this, he probably wouldn’t be able to see the sun tomorrow. Zou Bai killing people without batting an eyelid wasn’t a rumor.
However, Tan Si did not know about this. She continued, “You chose to look for me because you felt embarra.s.sed to look for your ex-wife. Then you’re wrong. At this point, you should kneel down and beg Jiang An. Why do you still need your pride?”
“If you are able enough, then leave. If you can remarry her, you can have whatever you want. You will be the son-in-law of the Jiang family.”
Tan Si shamed Si Cheng without restraint. The other party suddenly turned around and left without saying a word. She sneered and said, “Even if Jiang An was blind, she wouldn’t remarry you..”
