Chapter 343
Inside the bar's office.
The proprietress Mengluo is answering the phone.
That delicate face looked a little nervous at the moment, because the person who called was no ordinary person - it was Hussein, the adopted son of the gambling addict.
"Mengluo, it's time to pay back the money you owe me!" Hussein's voice came from the other end of the phone, cold and without a trace of warmth.
Hearing this, Mengluo's heart trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.
Because she owed Hussein a loan shark.
She quickly put on a smile and said anxiously to the person on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Hou, you know business has been tough lately, with so few customers. Can you give me a little more time? Just give me a little more time, and I promise I can get the money back!"
However, Hussein did not buy it.
His tone grew colder. "You want more time? I've already given you plenty of time! Every time I asked you for money, you told me you were going to raise it, but now I haven't seen a single cent! Don't you have any intention of paying it back?"
"Of course not. As long as I have the money, I will definitely pay you back." Meng Luo said hurriedly, "Give me some more time, and I promise to pay you back with interest."
Hussein said coldly, "You now owe 200 million including principal and interest, but I will send someone to collect some interest tonight. If you can't pay it back in the remaining week, you will have to stay with me for three days. It's up to you!"
"Hou..." Hussein hung up the phone before Mengluo could finish her words.
Hearing the dead tone coming from the phone, Mengluo's expression instantly became solemn, as if a heavy burden was pressing on her delicate shoulders.
For an ordinary woman like her, a loan of two million at high interest rates was simply an insurmountable mountain, and it was impossible for her to repay it in a short period of time.
But that hateful Hussein only gave her a short week, which made her feel extremely desperate and helpless.
When Mengluo thought that Hussein would send someone to collect high interest tonight, her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and she was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat.
She hurriedly took out all the sales money for the night and began to count it with trembling hands.
However, after she counted all the bills, she was horrified to find that the money was not even enough to cover the interest!
For a moment, she sat there blankly, her mind blank, completely unsure of how to deal with the horrific situation before her.
Just then, a rapid knock on the door suddenly broke the deathly silence in the room.
"Madam, someone is looking for you outside." The waiter's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Meng Luo was startled and thought to herself, "Could it be that Hussein's men arrived so quickly? The phone just got disconnected not long ago!"
She forced herself to remain calm and quickly asked, "Did the other party tell her what they wanted to talk to me about?"
"No, the other party just said that he must see you." The waiter's answer made Mengluo feel even more uneasy.
"Okay, I understand." Mengluo took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Although she was filled with fear and was afraid of seeing the ferocious men sent by Hussein, since they had come to her, she had no choice but to face them.
He stood up slowly, tidied up his messy hair and clothes, and then walked out of the office with heavy steps.
The waiter noticed that her face looked very bad, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Meng Luo tried not to look bad, and then asked, "How many people are there?"
The waiter said, "Only one person has come, but he must see you."
"only one?"
After hearing the news, Mengluo not only did not relax, but became even more nervous.
Maybe there are several people hiding outside.
Her mind raced, thinking about how to deal with the next dilemma.
When you step into the bar hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the lively scene.
Flashing lights, dynamic music, and the sounds of people laughing and chatting together create an atmosphere full of energy and passion.
However, all this could not attract Meng Luo's attention for the time being, and she even felt that it had nothing to do with her.
The waiter beside her glanced at the bar, then lowered his voice and said to her, "Madam, the gentleman sitting at the bar said he wanted to see you."
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Shen Lang. Meng Luo looked in the direction the waiter pointed, and saw a figure sitting quietly in front of the bar.
She nodded slightly, "I understand, you go ahead and do your work."
After receiving the instructions, the waiter responded respectfully: "Okay, boss lady."
Then he turned around and threw himself into his busy work.
Meng Luo took a deep breath, then walked towards Shen Lang with elegant steps and slowly sat down beside him.
He turned to the bartender at the bar and smiled, then said softly, "Please give this gentleman a drink. It's on me."
After saying that, he turned his gaze back to Shen Lang, still with a kind and charming smile on his face.
She started to greet him, "Hello, sir. I'm Mengluo. I wonder what you want to talk to me about tonight?"
Hearing Meng Luo's question, Shen Lang did not answer immediately, but first looked up and down the woman in front of him with his sharp eyes.
I have to say, Mengluo's outfit tonight is really stunning.
She was wearing a bright red long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her movements, like a blooming red lotus;
Even the hair accessories on her head are in red, which complements the overall look.
Such a gorgeous outfit made her look a bit like a bride about to enter the marriage hall.
Although she is not a real bride at the moment, Shen Lang can guarantee that after tonight, she will become his bride.
"I never come here for no reason!" Shen Lang said softly with a faint smile.
He stared at Mengluo in front of him with a burning gaze and continued, "Miss Mengluo, we are all sensible people, so let's not beat around the bush. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't speak in secret, and a gentleman doesn't hide anything. I came here this time..."
However, before he could finish his words, Mengluo interrupted him and said, "I know."
She gently bit her cherry-like lips and hesitated for a moment.
Then he said, "This is not the place to talk, and I'm ready. Why don't we go to my office and have a good chat?"
Now that there are more and more customers in the bar, it would be really embarrassing and awkward if others knew that you owed debts in public.
Therefore, Mengluo thought to herself that it would be better to invite this person to the office first and then discuss it in detail.
No matter what, we must find a way to stabilize the other party first.
Shen Lang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was secretly surprised in his heart: Meng Luo had actually already made preparations?
It seems that people as outstanding as me, no matter where I am, are like fireflies in the dark night, particularly eye-catching and dazzling.
Look, I just arrived here, and Mengluo has already prepared everything. This trip is not in vain.
On the way to the office, Mengluo was thinking about countermeasures.
Arriving at the office door, she opened it and said, "Please."
Then step in first.
Shen Lang followed him in and closed the door.
Just as Mengluo was thinking about how to start, a hot body came up from behind and put his arms around her slender waist.
She was suddenly horrified: "You, what are you going to do? Didn't I say everything was ready? Why are you still messing around?"
"Didn't you say you were ready?" Shen Lang didn't think about it in any other way. He just thought Meng Luo was role-playing.
I don't know if she is going to play the role of an agent who will never obey.
Seeing her panic-stricken expression, Shen Lang also became interested and said, "Yes, yes, that's it, this expression, keep it..."
After a pause, he added, "Sister-in-law, don't look back."
