Chapter 236
Tears streamed down Lavie Sue and Emma Werdy’s cheeks. They didn’t have the face to walk out of the restaurant, but the security guards behind them drove them away.
Helplessly, Emma Werdy covered her face with her bag and rushed out with her daughter.
The two of them fled in a mess, like disgusting rats.
A week passed.
Gaojian was taken back to the police station to sue, and all his property was confiscated by the court.
Lavie Sue could only live in a small rental house of only one hundred square meters. She and her mother huddled up on the bed. In front of her was a very simple notebook, which was filled with rows of numbers.
Staring blankly at the notebook, Emma Werdy put the phone beside her ear. She didn’t know that she had made hundreds of calls.
Finally, the phone was connected. She cried hoarse these days. “Hello, is that third uncle? I’m Emma . Didn’t you say that you treated me as your own daughter before? Now I…”
Before she could finish her words, a displeased male voice came from the other end of the line, “I used to want to treat you as my own daughter, but how could your husband cheat me? I own 1/3 of the shares of the company of the Gao family. He didn’t discuss with me when he tried to do some stock tricks. Now he made me lose hundreds of millions! I don’t deserve your daughter!”
“No, third uncle. Gaojian is out of his mind. But it has nothing to do with me and Lavie Sue. We don’t even have money to eat now. We…”
Speaking of this, Emma Werdy couldn’t help but shed tears again. She said in a hoarse voice, “Mr. Gao has offended all the members of the Cao family again. No one is willing to help us and our daughter.”
“Who can be blamed for this? It’s all because he thought that the Gao family’s company could rise up and be supercilious, and he didn’t take your uncles and relatives seriously at all. Now the retribution is coming!”
The conversation between Emma Werdy and third uncle was on speaker, so Lavie Sue, who was sitting at the desk, heard every word clearly.
She couldn’t stand it anymore. She took out the last few hundred dollars from the drawer and held it tightly in her hand. “I’m going out to buy rice and food.”
Then she walked out of the room and slammed the door, as if the only way to vent her emotions.
Emma Werdy was so frightened that she shrank her shoulders and advised her to be careful with tears in her eyes.
Lavie Sue was wearing a coat. As soon as she went out of the building, she put on her hat and zipper. She wished she could pull the zipper to her nose and bury her face deeply in case of being recognized.
She went to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities. She had to keep an eye on the price of the goods in case that she didn’t have enough money to pay the bill later.
A look of hatred and helplessness appeared on her face.
When did Lavie Sue have to check the price of a supermarket?!
When she bought all the things and pushed a cart of things to line up, the two young people in front of her were still talking about the stock of the Gao family.
“Damn it! It’s all that man’s fault. How dare he play tricks in the stock market? He can go bankrupt and be arrested. What about us, the shareholders who buy shares with him?”
Another man raised the snacks in his hand and said angrily, “don’t mention it. I borrowed a large sum of money from my friend to buy the stocks of the Gao family. I also said that I would wait for me to make money and invite them to have a meal. As a result, I could only take these snacks to comfort them. Shit!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
The more he said, the angrier he became. He kicked the special goods bar beside him.
Lavie Sue hadn’t had a good sleep recently. She was already a little weak and trembled with fear, and the things in her hands almost fell down.
When the two men in front of them paid the bill with curses, Lavie Sue poured the things in her hands to the checkout counter and said, “settle it.”
“Okay.”
When she bought it, the price was just 435, holding five hundred in her hand and lowering her head.
The receptionist quickly settled the bill and smiled, “Hello, miss. It’s 553 in total. What’s your payment method?”
Hearing this, Lavie Sue raised her head abruptly, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. Then she lowered her head in a hurry, afraid of being seen. “Are you wrong? I bought a total of 435 things. Please calculate again.”
“Okay.” The receptionist had a good temper and gave up.
“Miss, this time, the total is 535.”
“What?” Blinking her eyes, Lavie Sue looked at the things she had bought and wanted to figure it out by herself.
The people waiting in line behind her were not as good tempered as the receptionist. Someone began to speak unhappily, “what’s wrong? I just got a few more dollars. I calculated for you two times, and you can pay directly. How can you waste everyone’s time?”
“I’m sorry.” Embarrassed, Lavie Sue blushed. Her fragile self-esteem was hurt again. “I’ll take one.”
“Hurry up. I have something to deal with when I pay the bill!”
“Yeah, can’t you afford anything with a few dollars?”
After Lavie Sue picked out one thing, it was 486 dollars in total. She left the five dollars and walked out in a hurry.
As soon as she walked out of the door, someone reached out and tripped her. All the things in her hands were scattered on the ground. Her knees hit the floor heavily, and the pain instantly spread all over her body.
She screamed in pain, “ah!”
The passers-by gradually surrounded her, and someone helped her pick up things.
Lavie Sue took the bag in a hurry and wanted to run away.
However, someone recognized her and shouted, “isn’t this Lavie Sue, the daughter of Gaojian in the news?”
“Yes, yes. It seems to be Lavie Sue, the one who still wants to marry into Black family!”
Hearing the noise, Lavie Sue was like a frightened bird. She ran away without taking anything.
“Catch her! Don’t let her run away!”
Most of the group of people were playing stock. When they heard the name of Lavie Sue, they chased after Lavie Sue desperately, as if they had seen the enemy who had killed their father.
“Stop!”
Lavie Sue was so scared that she crossed the road all the way, causing the traffic to be paralyzed. The cars behind her roared four times, and as they shouted the slogans of Lavie Sue, a large group of people popped out from nowhere, as if they wanted to fight against the landlord. The whole area was in chaos.
She ran around like a headless fly. At last, she got into a tall building, squeezed into the elevator and pressed the button to the top floor.
That was her subconscious reaction in panic, as if only the top managers could get rid of them.
In the elevator, Lavie Sue leaned against the innermost corner, pulling the brim of her hat to cover her whole face. She ran so fast that her heart beat so fast as if she was about to jump out of her throat.
Ding.
As the elevator door opened, Lavie Sue took a few steps forward and stood at the junction of the stairs and the door.
In front of them was the rooftop, where the sun was shining thousands of miles.
Behind him was the staircase with gusts of cold wind.
She looked around blankly and found nothing.
So far, she still didn’t understand why she had fallen into such a situation. A few days ago, she had thought that everyone in the world wanted something!?
There was a rush of footsteps behind her, accompanied by the rough shouts of the men.
“I saw her take the elevator to the top floor. Someone has gone to the other stairs. We can surely block her if we go to this stairs.”
“Damn it! If we find her, we must ask her to pay for our stock market speculation. If she doesn’t have money, we will let her pay it. Anyway, she is not a clean thing!”
