Late Summer Engagement

11

No one answered on the other end of the phone, only the sound of electricity flowing through. Li Huiling impatiently urged, "Why don't you talk?"

The house she was interested in will be open for sale in a few days. The down payment was still 50,000 yuan, so I was waiting for an emergency, but Gu Nianyi never responded.

Lu Jinan leaned against the wall with his pockets in his pocket, his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes deep, "Yiyi is taking a bath."

He kept his ears on the sound of the bathroom, worried about any accidents.

Li Huiling was stunned for two seconds, took the phone away, confirmed that the phone number was not wrong, and changed her face, "Oh, it's Jin'an, I'll call back later."

"Okay." The phone was called like this. After hanging up, his mother-in-law didn't directly ask him for money.

As soon as Gu Nian came out of the bathroom, there was no power in the house, and several nearby buildings were also without power.

The surroundings were no longer brightly lit, but were equally plunged into darkness.

"It was your mother's call just now." Lu Jinan didn't say much. Smart people don't need to be too thorough.

Gu Nianyi wiped his hair with a dry hair towel, "I understand, please excuse me."

The property management company sent a notice in the group that a line was dug out during road construction and repairs were being carried out.

Today in the 21st century, blackout is a distant word.

The flashlight of the mobile phone was turned off, the waxing moon was half hanging in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured in.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

The light is dim, and the sound of wind occasionally comes from the distance. In the quiet and soft air, people are quietly waiting for the arrival of light.

Gu Nian sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, pretending not to care, "What did my mother say?"

Lu Jinan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him. When she was nervous or looking for something to do, she would pick at this and that with her fingers.

"She asked you when the money will be transferred?" He told the truth, without any subjective emotion in his tone.

Gu Nian paused for a moment, digging into the sheets with her fingers, "I don't want to be beaten, I have no money."

The voice was extremely cold, as if it had nothing to do with him.

She didn't want to be a good girl wearing a mask. Even if she didn't tell Lu Jinan and never transferred the money, Li Huiling would do everything possible to be miserable and win sympathy.

Gu Nian raised her head with a sincere look, "If they ask you to borrow money, I beg you, please, don't give it."

She didn't know what her parents would do and whether they would come to Nancheng. The Lu family gave them money at that time. Most of the bride price was in her hands, and her parents took almost a million.

If it wasn't enough, he wanted to squeeze out all the money she had.

The marriage between her and Lu Jinan was not strong, as if it was made of straw and would fall apart in the wind.

The dowry money was only kept by her for a short time.

Lu Jinan nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
