Chapter 50 - Who saved her?
Chapter 50: Who saved her?
For several nights, Chi Luoxi had been staring at the ceiling from night to dawn.
This was a kind of pressure that ordinary people could not understand. It was like walking into a dead end, and the end was a bull’s horn. The road became narrower and narrower, and there was no turning back.
Everything that she had to face made Chi luexi feel suffocated. She did not know how much longer she could hold on.
After school, Chenchen saw that her mommy was not downstairs. She did not even put down her school bag and ran upstairs to look for her.
The door to the room was half open and the light inside was dim. It was already evening and the lights were still off. The little guy saw his mommy lying on the bed and walked over quietly.
Chi Luoxi waved at the little guy and tried her best to force a smile.
Seeing that her mommy was not asleep, Chenchen switched on the bedside lamp. Under the light, Chenchen suddenly felt that her mommy had lost a lot of weight recently. Her eyes were sunken, and the expression on her face was not as bright and energetic as before.
The little fellow touched Chi luexi’s forehead and kissed her cheek. He asked in concern,””Mommy, are you sick? Where are you feeling uncomfortable? You don’t seem to have a fever?”
Not wanting the little fellow to worry, Chi Luoxi forced herself to sit up on the bed.
“Mommy isn’t sick, so Chenchen doesn’t have to worry.”
The little guy held his mommy’s hand and furrowed his brows.”
“Then mommy should be happy. Are you still angry about those bad things online? Don’t bother with those bad people. Mommy doesn’t have to go to work. Didn’t we agree that I’ll take care of you?”
A faint smile appeared on Chi Luoxi’s lips. It was really heartwarming to have a son like him. He would look for his mother and show concern for her first after school every day.
However, he was still a young child. What could he understand about the troubles of adults?
With no one else to confide in, Chi Yuexi’s heart felt suffocated. She thought that since the little fellow did not understand what she was saying, she might feel better if she told him her grievances.
Chi leixi stroked the little fellow’s fluffy head and said,”
“The adult world is more complicated. You’ll understand when you grow up. Mommy’s not only unhappy because of the bad things on the internet, there’s something even more serious. ”
“What is it? Mommy, are there bad guys who are bullying you and attacking you?”
The little guy was very worried about his mommy. He was eager to ask for more details. If he could not help, he could ask his daddy for help.
Chi yaoxi shook her head gently.”It’s not what you think. It’s because mommy didn’t go to work, so she has to compensate the company with a lot of money. If she can’t afford it, there will be a lot of trouble.”
The little guy thought about it carefully and felt that he understood.
“Mommy, you don’t have to be so polite. You can use all the money I gave you. Isn’t that enough?”
Chi Luoxi shook her head with a bitter smile.”It’s not enough. There’s still a lot to go. It’s alright, Chenchen. Thank you for coming up with this idea for mommy. Just be good and I’ll think of a way myself.”
In order not to worry the little fellow, Chi Yuexi forced a smile and accompanied him for dinner.
After dinner, the little guy quietly went to his room and picked up his phone to call his daddy.
“What’s wrong, son? Daddy just finished his business and is about to go home. ”
“Daddy, we’re in big trouble! You have to promise to help me. ”
A childish and exaggerated voice came from the other end of the phone. Li Jingjing couldn’t help but smile. What kind of wicked idea did this little guy have again?
“Okay, go ahead. I’ll help you as much as I can.”
Li Jingjing listened carefully to the little guy’s words and frowned.
The little guy said that his mommy was dying. If she didn’t go to work, she would have to pay the company money, a lot of money. If she couldn’t afford it, her mommy would be in big trouble, even more so than the trouble caused by the bad guys on the internet.
Li Jingjing agreed and hung up the phone.
So that’s how it was. Chi Luoxi didn’t go to work, so she probably had to pay a large sum of liquidated damages to her partner company.
Li Jingjing understood the seriousness of the matter. He felt a little guilty. He should have thought of these things earlier.
It was no wonder that during this period of time, Chi Luoxi’s expression had become worse and worse. She was also listless. It turned out that she was not only sad and sad about being betrayed by her family, but she had also encountered a greater difficulty.
This was easy.
Li Qingqing immediately called her assistant, Ling Li, and asked him to contact a few companies the next morning to check the amount of the penalty and transfer it directly.
The next day, Chi Luoxi still took the risk to go out. She had to find another real estate agent and sell her house at a low price as soon as possible.
Just as he put on his hat and was about to leave, sister Ming called again.
Chi leixi knew that he was here to collect debts again. It was really unlucky this early in the morning.
She picked up the phone and said,”sister Ming, I’m about to go out ...”
Before Chi yaoxi could finish her sentence, sister Ming’s long-lost cheerful laughter came from the other end of the phone.
“Luo Xi, haha, congratulations, you’re so awesome! I knew that the heavens would not leave a way out. ”
Chi luexi stopped in her tracks with a dumbfounded look on her face.”What do you mean? Did the company say you can go back to filming?”
Sister Ming interrupted the conversation and continued excitedly,””That’s not a big deal. I mean, I’m impressed that you’ve collected the debt so quickly.”
He raised the debt?
Chi leixi was even more confused. Wasn’t she just about to go out and sell her house? Even if he sold it, he might not be able to raise the debt!
Hearing that Chi Luoxi didn’t respond for a long time, sister Ming thought that this woman was too slow. She smiled and said quickly,”
“There’s good news this morning. I just received a few phone calls. Two companies called and said that the penalty for your breach of contract has been confirmed!”
Chi Luoxi was stunned and could not believe it.
This was a huge matter, how could he not know about it! The penalty for breach of contract would probably add up to tens of millions from the companies, and it was already in his account? Paid off?
After hanging up the phone, Chi yaoxi still couldn’t believe it. After all, the amount was too large and it felt unreal. She called sister Ming again.
“Sister Ming, I think you should call the company’s finance department again and check if the money has been transferred.”
Upon hearing Chi yaoxi’s words, sister Ming realized that she did not know who had paid the penalty and helped her so much.
“Luo Xi, I didn’t believe it at first either. I’ve already called the company to confirm it, and then I called you. The news is real and confirmed, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Chi luexi heaved a sigh of relief and instantly felt relaxed. Her face was filled with surprise as she kept guessing in her heart.
Who would be so kind? To save him at the critical moment, he was simply his Savior.
Could it be Xiao Ye? He was the first person that Chi Luoxi thought of.
She remembered the scene of the commercial shoot last time. When she saw the director making things difficult for her, he threw a check of a few million Yuan for the breach of contract directly at the director’s face. That was called forthright!
However, after some careful thought, Chi leixi felt that it shouldn’t be him. After all, Xiao Ye’s company had just expanded and he had invested a lot of money. How could he have so much money on hand?
Moreover, the amount of liquidated damages he owed was huge. Several companies added up to tens of millions. Not everyone had the ability to transfer the money directly.
Other than Xiao Ye, Chi Yuexi could not think of anyone else who would spend so much money on her and save her from a crisis.
