Chapter 426: Taking Advantage
Translator: Henyee Translations I Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Kang didn’t get the money.
After the two of them quarreled, Nan Xuan finally slammed the door and left.
Nan Xuan said all the resentment that had acc.u.mulated in his heart today. He also saw that Nan Kang was a rotten person who only knew how to cause trouble.
He ran around every day, working a few jobs to earn money to support the family. He was so tired, but this was all he got.
When Nan Jin was hospitalized, Nan Kang didn’t appear even once. Nan Xuan didn’t need to guess to know that he definitely didn’t care or even know that Nan Jin was sick.
Nan Xuan was completely heartbroken by Nan Kang this time.
After he left, he even called the landlord.
“Yes, I won’t renew the lease next month… Yes.
He hurriedly ended the call after saying a few words, his heart calm.
If not for the fact that Nan Kang had blown up this time, Nan Xuan wouldn’t
have such thoughts.
He had no money to begin with, and his pockets were clean after paying for the surgery. Since Nan Kang was like this, there was no need for Nan Xuan to hold back his last bit of pity. He directly canceled the rent renewal.
in any case, he was no longer living in that house. As for how Nan Kang would survive, he had to think of a way himself.
This argument made Nan Kang furious, especially when he saw how Nan Xuan defended Murong Qiao and criticized him. He was so angry that he wished he had never given birth to this son.
But the problem of money had to be resolved.
Even if he wanted to drink now, he couldn’t find any money after searching his pockets. The last 20 yuan had been used by Nan Kang to buy a box of beer to drink.
Nan Xuan had left in a hurry. The door was not closed tightly just now, leaving
a gap.
Nan Kang went to close the door, but when he saw the utility bill stuck to the door, he frowned and kicked the sofa beside him in frustration.
Murong Qiao’s side was impossible, and Nan Xuan didn’t give him any money. Nan Kang couldn’t find anyone to borrow money from.
After that, he wanted to humble himself and take the initiative to call Nan Xuan. Then, he would play the emotional card and get some money.
In the end, after calling a few times, the mechanical female voice reminded him that the phone was switched off, the line was busy, or something else. After calling many times, Nan Kang understood that he had been blocked by
Nan Xuan.
In the end, Nan Kang had no choice but to smile and call his so-called “friends” to ask for help.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but my business is not doing well now…”
“That’s right, that’s right. Everyone is in trouble now. My business partner even ran away some time ago and I lost a lot of money.
“I’m sorry, you called the wrong number.”
“Don’t tell me you still think you’re the head of the Nan family? You’re so poor—”
■■I just accepted a big project recently and really don’t have much money. I’m sorry, Nan Kang.”
After making more than 20 calls, Nan Kang smiled until the corners of his mouth were about to twitch, but he didn’t receive a single cent.
At the mention of borrowing money, everyone avoided him. There were even people who went overboard and mocked him. As soon as they heard Nan Kang mention his name, some immediately hung up.
They were mocking and sarcastic. They used to call each other brothers with smiles on their faces and talk about their ambitions to climb mountains of blades and cross seas of fire. Now, their att.i.tudes had changed drastically.
That unfamiliar att.i.tude was like a slap that could make Nan Kang’s face swell.
They were all businessmen. Talking about relationships was not good for the wallet.
Nan Kang had no benefits to offer them now, so everyone naturally didn’t intend to maintain this fake brotherhood. Some people even added insult to injury and laughed at him.
The day Nan Xuan left, he cut off the lease for the flat. In the end, the landlord came over with a prospective new tenant to look at the house the next day. Seeing that the house had been ruined by Nan Kang, the prospect immediately didn’t want to rent it anymore. The landlord even threatened Nan Kang to compensate him.
However, this house was the cheapest in the vicinity. If Nan Kang couldn’t live here, he would probably have to sleep under the bridge. He had pleaded with the landlord and only managed to extend his stay here for three days, but he ended up running into a wall everywhere.
just as Nan Kang’s heart was like dead ashes, someone really smiled and said that they could lend him money.
“It’s fine to borrow it, but how are we going to calculate the return?” That person asked.
Nan Kang immediately perked up. “I naturally know about repaying kindness.” It’S better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing to the cake. Now that the other party vaguely revealed that he could help, Nan Kang immediately a.s.sumed a flattering face.
“I don’t care about those useless things.” The other party snorted with disdain. “They say that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, Nan Kang.
I can lend you this money, but—”
Nan Kang was not a fool and immediately understood.
This was really asking him to return the favor multiple folds.
Nan Kang thought for a moment before gritting his teeth and taking the initiative to say, “Lend it to me and I’ll return three times the amount.” “Five times.” The other party raised the price directly. Clearly, he was not satisfied with Nan Kang’s words.
How was this sending charcoal in the snow? This was clearly taking advantage of the situation!
Nan Kang cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he was still smiling and flattering the other party. This was really the only person who was willing to lend him money. Nan Kang had no choice but to agree. When he gritted his teeth and agreed, his heart was bleeding.
When his company was resurrected, he would be able to repay this bit of money. Nan Kang comforted himself in his heart. When he made a comeback, those people would still come back to curry favor with him.
However, Nan Kang had probably forgotten that those people were currying favor with him because he had a relationship with the Murong Family. They also seemed to be especially confident in him and actually thought that he could return to his past state.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.” The person chuckled in satisfaction and hung up.
The matter of the quarrel had come to an end for the time being. After Nan Xuan slammed the door and left, he calmed down alone before returning home.
He didn’t say anything about this and only lived and worked as usual. He didn’t let the trash affect his mood. Nan Xuan still placed the focus on the natters ahead of him.
Nan Jin had also returned to his job after being discharged from the hospital. This at least helped Nan Xuan relieve a lot of pressure.
However, it was different from before. Nan Jin’s face was more smiling and energetic now. He was different from his previous depressed appearance. Even his colleagues who worked with him teased him and asked if he was in love. Why was he in such a good mood recently?
‘Tm not in the mood to date,” Nan Jin replied casually. “Let’s not talk about it.
I’m getting off work.”
He picked up his coat and walked out.
“Why are you getting off work so early? Isn’t the overtime pay good?” The colleague was puzzled.
However, Nan Jin only waved at him with his back facing him. “I have something on.”
Of course, it was good to work overtime, but Nan Jin was about to go and see his Little Sister.
Ever since the nurse told him that Murong Qiao had come to take care of him for a few days, Nan Jin had determined that Murong Qiao was not as cold as she looked.
Nan Jin could be said to be very familiar with Hui University’s location. He even knew the shortcut nearby.
The time he got off work was at sunset. Nan Jin had heard the students mention the cla.s.s schedule once and estimated that he could rush over after work. It should be the end of the last cla.s.s in the afternoon, the time when the students were dismissed.
There was a high chance that he could see Murong Qiao come out.
Nan Jin calculated in his heart. Seeing that the students were already coming out of the school gate, he hurriedly hid to the side to weaken his presence.
“Wuhu! School is over! Let’s eat—” A student cheered.
Nan Jin only took a few glances before he saw Murong Qiao in the crowd. But he didn’t go forward. He just stood there and looked at Murong Qiao quietly.
He remembered his decision and didn’t want to add so much trouble and worry to his Little Sister’s life because of his existence, so Nan Jin decided to come and try his luck every day after work.
Seeing Murong Qiao’s smile made him feel extremely satisfied.
There were many people coming and going after school. Murong Qiao was beautiful and was a frequent visitor on the forum. It was inevitable that the students would take a second look, so Nan Jin’s gaze was mixed in and was not discovered..
