“What will you do if I insist on taking this girl away with us?” Chuxue Ye said with her chin tipped.
“That’s easy. If Miss Ye can pay the debt for this woman, we can let you take her away.”
“How much does she owe you?”
Henry tried to stop Chuxue, but Chuxue only ignored him.
“Three million.” That man smiled.
Chuxue frowned. She said: “Three million?” She thought it was at least ten million.
That man laughed. “Yes. I think that means nothing to Ye Family.”
Chuxue answered: “Ye Family is rich, but my father worked very hard to earn the money. So three
million is not a small sum.”
The girl then begged frantically. She said: “Miss Ye, please help me. I will work very hard, and I will pay
the money back to you in the future!”
Chuxue felt dizzy. She didn’t know what to do next. She patted on the car and said: “Jingyan, get off
the car! What should I do next?”
Jingyan sighed helplessly. He got off the car and patted on her head. He said: “You should know you
are not capable of dealing with these things before you stick your nose into this business.”
Chuxue smiled. She said: “I am not worried, because I know you can always help me.”
These men looked at each other when they saw Jingyan getting off the car. They felt very glad because
they thought Jingyan would pay them the money.
The girl was shocked when she saw Jingyan. She called out: “Mr Ye!”
Jingyan was still somber, even though he also had a lot of alcohol. He said in a cold voice: “I am not
going to give you the money. You have two options. First: You leave this girl alone. Second, I will call
the police.”
“Mr Ye, don’t you think you are being unreasonable?” That man said.
Jingyan then took out his phone directly and called the police. He said through the phone: “Hello, police
station?”
These people were frightened before Jingyan even finished himself. They said to the girl: “Today you
are lucky! But you won’s escape from us! We will see you tomorrow!”
And within a few minutes, these men all disappeared from view. Jingyan also hung up his phone.
Chuxue had sobered up a little bit. She said: “Did you really call the police?”
Jingyan glanced at her and pushed her back into the car. He said: “No. I was just bluffing.”
Chuxue leaned against the window and stared at Jingyan with her sparkling eyes. She said: “Big
brother, why are you so smart?”
Jingyan stroked her nose and said in a soft voice: “I am so flattered. I can’t even remember the last
time you said something nice about me.”
Chuxue then pointed at the girl they just helped and asked: “What should we do about her?”
“We are not the Saviour.” Jingyan said. “We can help her this time, but we can’t help her all the time.
She must learn to save herself.”
Chuxue said: “But she will be beaten to death!”
“Don’t worry. They won’t kill her. If they still want the money, they will have to keep her alive.”
Chuxue thought about it and nodded.
“Uncle Zhang. Let’s go.” Jingyan said to Henry. He ignored the girl who was still on the ground. He was
about to get into the car, but the girl got hold of his leg all of a sudden.
“Don’t you remember me? Mr Ye!” The girl looked at Jingyan expectantly, and her eyes brimmed with
tears.
Jingyan’s brow furrowed. He said: “I don’t know you!” He tried to break away from the girl but he failed,
because the girl was grabbing him so tightly.
“Mr Ye, don’t you remember? We met each other when we were still kids!” The girl said.
Jingyan laughed coldly. He said: “I have met so many people when I was younger. Should I remember
every one of them?”
“No, that’s not what I mean.” The girl stood up. She looked at his angelic face and continued: “When I
was younger, I found a small robot. On the way back home, a group of bigger kids tried to snatch the
robot away from me. At that time, you appeared. You fought with these kids and you drove them away.
Then you said you want to buy that robot and you can pay me five thousand yuan, so I sold it to you.
But later I learned that robot is worthy of thousands of yuan. Don’t you remember?”
Jingyan suddenly remembered this incident when the girl brought the robot up. He remembered his
father, Kerry, scolded him severely for buying that robot. And after that incident, he began to focus on
his study.
The girl knew he remembered that incident from his expression. She felt glad and she said: “So, do you
remember now?”
“That indeed happened.” Jingyan said.
The girl then smiled brightly. She said: “I remembered your face because you are very good-looking,
and I never thought we would meet again. What a coincidence!”
Jingyan’s dislike for this girl diminished. He said: “It’s late. You should go back home.”
The girl’s smile faded. She said: “I can’t go back home now. Those people know where I live. So they
are must waiting for me at the door.”
“So, what’s your......”
“It’s okay. I will go back to school. They won’t go to the school to find me.”
“Oh. You are still a student.”
“Yes. I’m a senior student. I will graduate soon, and then I will work. I think life will be better when I can
make some money.” The girl said confidently.
Jingyan gradually developed a fondness for this girl. He always likes girls who are confident and
independent.
“I see. If these people find you again, do remember to call the police. Don’t reason with them. They are
unreasonable.” Jingyan said.
The girl nodded. “I know. Thank you, Mr Ye.”
“Goodbye.” Jingyan turned around and was about to get into the car. But the girl called him again. And
Jingyan looked at her.
“Eh, I will need to find a job after graduation. So, can I go to your company to work?” The girl asked
shyly.
Jingyan replied: “Yes. Yehuang Group is hiring new staff in the near future. You should give it a try. If
you are good enough, you will get a job in the company.”
“Thank you. Mr Ye. I will try!” The girl bowed to him slightly and ran to a bus stop. “Mr Ye, my name is
Xuan Zhao! Don’t forget me!” She shouted back.
Jingyan shook his head and smiled. Why should he remember her. He thought.
Henry looked after the girl as she left, and he felt very confused.
