Chapter 1147: Borrowing Money
Editor: Atlas Studios
The two of them sat down before he continued, “I heard that you’re in some trouble and need to borrow money. I can help.”
He had also heard it by accident.
“There’s no need. I can settle it myself. You and Sister Qing have already helped me too much.”
Liu Shuang shook her head repeatedly. Her rejection was obvious.
“It’s like this.”
Seeing that she was unwilling to agree, Song Chen could only take the initiative to attack. “My family is pressing me, but I don’t have any intention of getting married. I was forced to ask you for help. If you marry me, I can borrow you money.”
...
Since he said this, Liu Shuang couldn’t reject him anymore, right?
“Senior, I’m sorry I can’t help you. I’m already married.”
Liu Shuang’s face was full of apology, and her big watery eyes were pitiful.
If her senior had said it earlier, perhaps he would have been a better choice, but now, she was really helpless.
“What? You’re married?”
Song Chen suddenly stood up from the stool, his mind blank. “When did this happen? Why didn’t I know?”
He was still a step too late.
“I got married today. You don’t have to worry about me, I’ve already raised the money…”
Liu Shuang wanted to say something more, but she heard the assistant in the operating theater shout outside, “Doctor Liu, the next surgery is about to begin.”
“Alright, I’ll be right there!”
Liu Shuang put on her surgical gown again and entered the operating theater.
Song Chen sat alone on the stool, his heart throbbing in pain.
He was too late.
If he had been braver and taken the initiative to call this morning, he might have had a chance.
But he wouldn’t give up.
After the surgery in the afternoon, Liu Shuang rode the electric scooter to the Central Hospital again. She was prepared to go to the ward to see her mother and clean her body for her.
The sun set in the west.
The hot air welcomed waves of cool air, and there were more people under the shade of the trees.
Liu Shuang parked the car in the hospital and went straight to the inpatient department on the third floor.
As soon as she entered, she saw the nurse taking her temperature.
“Nurse Liu, is my mother alright?” Liu Shuang asked with concern.
“Everything is normal. There’s not much money left in the account. Pay the hospitalization fees early. If there’s no problem, I’ll leave first,” the nurse said.
The nurse put away her notebook and walked out.
Liu Shuang did not have the time to rest. She quickly brought a basin of hot water to wipe her mother’s body. By the time everything was done, it was already half past six.
She opened the door and walked out with the basin.
A few greasy men strode towards the ward and shouted at Liu Shuang, “Stop! When are you going to return the money your father borrowed?”
Liu Shuang was stunned and said with a straight face, “The deadline is three days later. Why are you here?”
Her biological father had a huge debt outside, and now there was 300,000 dollars on the IOU.
This was the reason why Liu Shuang raised the money.
She did not expect that this group of people would be shameless enough to come and ask for money again. Nothing good happened every time they came.
“We’re here to remind you that your mother is lying in the hospital. You can’t escape.”
The short fat man said maliciously.
“That’s right. You look so pretty. You must look very good when you smile. Come, smile!”
“Beauty, you have to know how to lower your head.”
“If you stay with us for one night, I’ll reduce your debt by five thousand dollars. How about that?”
“You’re so beautiful. We love beauties too.”
A tall and thin man reached out to touch Liu Shuang’s waist. “We’re teaching you how to establish yourself in society.”
The wretchedness on his face was nauseating.
At this moment, Zhuang Xuan had just signed the contract with the director.
When he passed by the ward’s inpatient department, he saw a familiar figure. He stopped and looked over.
“Madam is here.”
The assistant reminded him softly.
The little girl was surrounded by a group of men. Her back was slender and thin, and she held a basin of dirty water in her hand. She was tense and stubborn.

Could it be a coincidence this time?
Zhuang Xuan raised his brow, his expression unreadable.
The men on the other end were still clamoring. It was obvious that they were up to no good.
Liu Shuang only splashed the water in her hand on one of them’s head and shouted, “Someone! Call security!”
As soon as he shouted, people stuck their heads out from the wards.
In the ward next door, a few strong young men walked out. “Who dares to cause trouble in the hospital?”
Many people took out their phones and prepared to record the scene.
Liu Shuang turned around and ran into the ward to lock the door. She looked outside through the transparent glass at the door.
The men looked at each other and ran.
The short and fat man said, “Be careful. If you don’t pay on time, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
The danger was over.
Liu Shuang heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the ward to thank the young men. Her face was filled with relief.
If she wasn’t smart, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.
These people were stubborn.
She was the only one who could protect herself. She hoped that her mother would wake up soon!
