Chapter 1942: Left With No Choice
Xiao Yuqian finished with what she wanted to say and looked at Xiao Lan.
“What money? The pay she got from all that acting was only enough to cover her tuition fees.”
Xiao Lan’s reaction was what Xiao Yuqian had expected.
“If you can’t help, then stay quiet.” Xiao Yuqian sighed. “Just let me take care of it.”
Xiao Yuqian then turned and went back to her room.
She leaned against her door and closed her eyes. She was tired of what had been happening for the past few days.
She only had three days left. She couldn’t think of anyone that could help her anymore.
Xiao Yuqian went and took a shower to remove all the stench that the man had left on her.
She looked at herself in the mirror. The bruises that covered her body reminded her of the night she spent with Ma Haodong.
She quickly closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to dismiss the thought. After refreshing herself, Xiao Yuqian drove to Huayin Entertainment.
Even though her family business was in jeopardy, she still had to work. If things really went sideways in the end, at least she still had a job.
The moment she returned to her office, her phone rang. It was from her brother, Xiao Yuche, asking about the situation.
“Everything is fine,” Xiao Yuqian replied. “I’ve already found a way. Just focus on your studies… Yes, someone is taking care of dad at the hospital. Don’t worry about it… Yeah, bye.”
Xiao Yuqian hung up the call and sighed. She lied to her brother because she didn’t want him, still being in college, to worry.
The truth was that she was out of options.
Xiao Yuqian took a deep breath to calm herself down and turned her computer on.
News popped up on the screen as soon as the computer was on. It was news about Ma Group’s president, Ma Hangcheng. The name reminded Xiao Yuqian of her mother, Tang Qingyuan.
She’d taken a peek at her mother’s diary in the past and learned that Tang Qingyuan had a relationship with Ma Hangcheng when they were younger. Ma Hangcheng was Tang Qingyuan’s first love. The diary mentioned that they were deeply in love with each other, but circumstances kept them apart.
Xiao Yuqian then had a bold idea.
She wondered if she could ask Ma Hangcheng for help if he knew she was Tang Qingyuan’s daughter.
Xiao Yuqian picked her phone up and called Ma Group. She then informed the secretary who picked the phone up that she wanted a meeting with Ma Hangcheng, using her mother’s name.
As Xiao Yuqian had expected, she got a call back an hour later. The secretary told her to meet Ma Hangcheng at a hotel and gave her a room number.
Xiao Yuqian quickly took leave from her job and drove to the hotel.
She told the reception of her name, and they gave her a key card.
She went to the room that she was told and used the key card to get into the empty room.
She waited for an hour, and no one came.
Two hours passed, and she was still alone.
Three, then four hours passed. Xiao Yuqian was already tired, and her eyes were closing when the door opened.
