Why are you messing with her? Her mission is to bully the scumbag
Chapter 259: The Female Supporting Character with Nothing in the Top Story (1)
The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the slits in the curtains and streamed into the room, Dongfang Shuo and Chu Xiaoxiao jolted awake almost simultaneously. Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they picked up their phones and were instantly stunned by the countless missed calls and pop-up messages flashing across their screens. The phones continued to vibrate, seemingly swallowing up the tranquility.
Chu Xiaoxiao first opened the family group chat and was flooded with messages, almost every one of them @ing them. She scrolled through the screen, her face gradually turning pale. On the trending search list, the topic of Shuanghe Technology's margin call topped the list, garnering an astonishing number of clicks.
"Dongfang Shuo, look!" Chu Xiaoxiao's voice trembled as she handed the phone to Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo took the phone, his eyes instantly drawn to the eye-catching trending headline. He glanced at his computer in disbelief, his fingers trembling as he tapped the keyboard, attempting to access the stock market page. However, when he finally saw the data on the screen, he was struck by lightning. Shuanghe Technology's stock had completely vanished, taking their investment with it.
"How is that possible?" Dongfang Shuo muttered to himself, his voice filled with disbelief. He checked again, but the result was still cruel. At this time, the CEO of Shuanghe Technology issued a public statement, announcing that the company had suffered a technological failure, resulting in the termination of the technology project and a plummeting stock price.
This series of news hit Dongfang Shuo's heart like a heavy hammer. He stood there in a daze, not expecting that all this would come so suddenly.
Chu Xiaoxiao could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
"I told you that you could withdraw before, but you insisted that it was normal! Now look at it, is it normal?" Chu Xiaoxiao's tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and her voice was full of grievance and anger.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the crying Chu Xiaoxiao, his heart filled with irritation and self-blame.
He scratched his hair irritably, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in his heart.
"Do you think I want this? I just want to make more money!" Dongfang Shuo's voice was a little hoarse. He knew that his defense seemed so pale and powerless at this moment, but he still couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
The two men looked particularly lonely in the smoke. They were facing unprecedented difficulties, owing huge debts, and the 300 million yuan that they could have easily obtained was gone.
At this moment, they seemed to be thrown into the abyss by fate. It was pitch black all around them and they could not see any way out.
"What should we do now?" Chu Xiaoxiao asked with a sob, her eyes full of helplessness and confusion.
Dongfang Shuo was silent for a while, then slowly said: "There will always be a way!"
"What else can we do? We have no other options!" Chu Xiaoxiao sat on the ground, her eyes full of despair.
The messages in the family group were still refreshing frantically, and every message was calling Dongfang Shuo's name and asking him to pay back the money.
Those relatives who once trusted Dongfang Shuo because of his "wisdom and courage" now stared at him like a group of hungry wolves, as if ready to tear him to pieces at any time.
Dongfang Shuo looked at the news with mixed feelings.
He knew his current situation and the worries and anger of his relatives.
But he really couldn't face all this and couldn't bear the heavy pressure.
So, he made a decision - to turn off the phone. He pressed the power button directly, and the screen instantly turned black, and the noisy messages disappeared.
Afterwards, Dongfang Shuo lay on the bed, covered his head with a quilt, trying to block out all external interference.
He needs time to calm down and think about what to do next.
But on Chu Xiaoxiao's side, the situation was completely different.
She looked at the flashing caller ID on her phone, took a deep breath, and then began to answer the calls one by one.
She patiently explained the current situation, comforted the anxious relatives, and tried to keep them calm.
However, this explanation did not have much effect.
Those relatives were still very emotional, and some even started to speak ill of each other.
Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes gradually turned red, but she still held back her tears and continued to answer the next call.
Dongfang Shuo was lying on the bed, listening to the voice coming from Chu Xiaoxiao, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.
He felt sorry for Chu Xiaoxiao's hard work and grievances, but also felt angry and guilty about his own incompetence.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, sat up suddenly, and rushed to Chu Xiaoxiao's side.
"What's there to explain? Even if you're not annoyed, I am!" Dongfang Shuo snatched Chu Xiaoxiao's phone and threw it to the ground.
The phone shattered into pieces instantly and the screen went black.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Dongfang Shuo in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She had never seen Dongfang Shuo so out of control, which made her feel both scared and unfamiliar.
"You...how could you do this?" Chu Xiaoxiao's voice trembled a little. She couldn't understand Dongfang Shuo's behavior.
"What's wrong with me? Are you going to let me watch you being humiliated by them like this?" Dongfang Shuo's voice rose a few degrees, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness.
The two of them just stared at each other, and the air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
After a long while, Dongfang Shuo took a deep breath and his tone softened a little.
"I'm sorry, I... I'm just too irritable. But we have to calm down now and find a way to solve this problem." He stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Chu Xiaoxiao's hand, but Chu Xiaoxiao subconsciously dodged.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Dongfang Shuo, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She knew Dongfang Shuo's mood at the moment, and she also knew that he didn't really want to hurt her.
But she still couldn't forgive his behavior immediately, nor could she forget how out of control he was just now.
"I know you are very upset now, but I also have my own bottom line and dignity." Although Chu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm, there was a firmness in her tone.
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang suddenly in the quiet air. Dongfang Shuo frowned, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, and he whispered to himself, "Who would come at this time?"
The voice outside the door seemed to sense his vigilance and quickly replied, "I'm a delivery man. A Miss Ling asked me to give you a gift!"
"Ling Yurou?" Dongfang Shuo's heart trembled. The name flashed through his mind, bringing up a series of complex emotions.
He pushed the door open carefully and saw an exquisite greeting card lying quietly outside the door, as if telling something.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out to pick up the greeting card and slowly opened it.
A line of beautiful handwriting came into view, but it was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
"How does it feel to have nothing?"
