illicit relationship

Jie and her mother headed to the terrace after hearing Luo and Hualing's voices. Dali also followed them to the terrace.

Hualing instantly yelled at Dali when she saw him. "Give us the compensation money now!"

"Yes. Today is the day you promised to compensate us." Luo added.

Jie, her mother and Dali were panicked because they still did not have enough money to compensate them.

"Miss Hualing, Mister Luo, we still don't have enough money to compensate both of you." Dali pretended to be afraid of them.

"Miss Hualing, Mister Luo, can you give us a few more days?" Jie told them that they only had 150,000 Yuan.

They could only get 150,000 Yuan from selling some of the furniture and their savings.

​ She also told them they had tried to borrow money from their friends, but they only got a little money from them.

Of course, Hualing and Luo refused because this was what they wanted.

They wanted Jie and the others to be unable to compensate them, so that they would sell their orphanage to Teng Qigang to get more money.

Yes, this was what Cao Song had planned!

At this moment, some of the orphans were terrified, while others were angry. For this reason, Jie's mother told them to enter the orphanage.

Like before, Jie still asked Hualing and Luo to give them a few more days to compensate them.

"Miss, please give us three more days. We promise to compensate you later." Dali uttered.

"I've already given you three days and you still want me to give you three more days?" Hualing raised her voice. "I'm sure you will repeat the same thing if I agree to your request."

"That's right!" Luo added.

At the same time, the sound of a car reverberated in the entire area. Jie and the others turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

*Thud…

After closing his car door, an old man walked toward the front yard of the Kindred Hearts Orphanage.

That old man was fat and had little hair. But even so, he walked confidently as if he was a good-looking man.

That man was none other than Cao Song's subordinate, Teng Qigang.

He decided to come to the orphanage again because he knew that Jie and the others needed money.

"Oh, you have two guests, Mrs Jie?" Teng Qigang pretended as if he did not know who Hualing and Luo were.

"Who are you? And why did you come to this place?" Luo asked in annoyance.

"Mister, did I annoy you? Why does it sound like you are angry at me? I'm sure this is our first meeting." Teng Qigang was not surprised by Luo's behavior because that was his role. "Oh, I came to this orphanage because I want to buy this place."

Luo shifted his gaze from Teng Qigang to Jie and the others. "There! Just sell this orphanage to him so that you will have enough money to compensate us."

"That's right. Just sell this orphanage to him!" Hualing added.

"No!" Jie and her mother responded in unison.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?" like before, Teng Qigang pretended as if he did not know anything.

Hualing pointed her right index finger at Dali. "He did not want to compensate us!"

She explained everything to Teng Qigang as if he were a police officer who wanted to interrogate the car accident.

"I see." Teng Qigang nodded his head. "Mrs. Jie, how about you sell this orphanage to me? With this, you can compensate them and solve this problem immediately."

"No!" Jie refused instantly because she did not want to lose her orphanage.

"Just sell this orphanage to him and compensate us using that money!" Luo forced Jie and the others to sell their orphanage.

Not long after that, Jie's neighbors came to the orphanage. They wanted to know why there was a commotion in the orphanage.

Hualing and Luo were at a disadvantage when her neighbors came to the orphanage. For this reason, they decided to leave.

Of course, they did not forget to threaten Jie and the others. They said they would come with the police if they did not compensate them tomorrow.

Teng Qigang also left shortly after that because it was no longer a safe place for him. He was afraid something bad would happen to him if he stayed at the orphanage.

Li Café, VIP Room.

Cao Song was currently in the VIP room with Teng Qigang, Luo and Hualing. The trio told him what had happened at the orphanage earlier.

"I see." Even though Cao Song was unhappy but he kept his anger in check.

"What should we do now, young master Cao?" Luo inquired.

Instead of answering Luo's question, Cao Song looked at Hualing and inquired, "Hualing, did Dalil give you any information about their financial condition?"

"Dali said they would not be able to compensate us later." Hualing responded, "He also told me that he would keep me updated later."

"Alright. We will only monitor them for now. Of course, we will stop them from getting more money." After saying that, Cao Song looked at Teng Qigang. "Qigang, you go to the orphanage again tomorrow. They are in tight situation, so there is a possibility that they will sell the orphanage later."

"Understood, young master." Teng Qigang responded.

Kindred Hearts Orphanage, Living Room.

Jie was currently in the living room with her mother and the other caretakers. In total, they had ten caretakers, including Dali.

They were discussing how to get more money to compensate Luo and Hualing because they did not want to sell their orphanage to Teng Qigang.

"Jie, how about we ask Nichang for help?" one of the caretakers inquired.

Leng Nichang was their only hope now, so she suggested they ask Leng Nichang for help.

"But she has helped us many times. I don't want to trouble her again." Actually, Jie also wanted to ask Leng Nichang for help, but she felt bad if they kept asking for her help.

"Nichang is our only hope now." the red-haired female caretaker uttered, "She also grew up in this place, so I'm sure she doesn't want to lose this orphanage too."

"That's right." Another caretaker added.

Jie looked at her mother and inquired, "Mother, what do you think of their idea?"

It took Jie's mother several seconds before she could answer her daughter's question. "Let's inform Nichang about this."

"I will call her now." after saying that, Jie rose to her feet and headed to her bedroom to take her smartphone.

----

Leng Nichang was currently in a café with Xi Ran. They decided to go to a cafe after Xi Ran finished filming the movie.

As they were chatting, Leng Nichang's smartphone suddenly rang. She immediately picked up the phone when she knew the one who called her was Jie.

"What?!" Leng Nichang was shocked after Jie told her that the orphanage was facing a huge problem. "I will prepare the money and immediately go to the orphanage."

After Leng Nichang hung up the phone, Xi Ran inquired, "What's wrong?"

"It's like this…." Leng Nichang gave a short explanation. "Ran, let's go to the bank now."

"Alright." Xi Ran agreed.

At the same time, Dali called Cao Song and informed him that Jie would ask Leng Nichang for help.
