After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 361

Aunt Liu felt a pang of sadness. She knew that Su Qingyan must have encountered an insurmountable obstacle to come to her in such a disheveled state.

But the fact that she was being scammed out of money was indeed beyond her expectations.

Her gaze slowly moved downwards, and she saw Su Qingyan's hands, which were still trembling slightly. The hands that used to hold pens, sign documents, and negotiate business deals had now lost all their confidence.

Aunt Liu sighed softly, the sigh being particularly clear in the quiet ward, as if she were spitting out all the unspeakable disappointment, worry, and love.

After a long silence, Aunt Liu finally reached out and gently patted Su Qingyan's hand. The movement was gentle and slow, carrying a hint of helplessness and a touch of comfort.

Su Qingyan finally couldn't hold back any longer. The grievances, resentment, and regret that had been building up for so long burst forth like a flood.

She choked out, her shoulders trembling violently: "Aunt Liu, do you know, it's all Lin Ling's fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been chased like this."

She raised her hand and wiped away her tears haphazardly, but the more she wiped, the more tears streamed down her face.

“Before, he praised the letter and the salt lake to me in glowing terms, saying it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity that would guarantee profits.”

“I was still a little skeptical, but then I thought that he had been in the business world for so long, with a wide network of connections and a keen eye, so he couldn’t be wrong.”

Su Qingyan's voice was broken and intermittent due to sobs, each word seeming to be squeezed out with difficulty from between her teeth:

"I foolishly believed him and invested all my savings. I also dragged in other investors who trusted me, all the while eagerly anticipating making a fortune."

"But in the end... it was all a scam. The letter and the salt lake were fake, and it has been exposed by the media. All the people behind it have run away, and I can't get my money back."

Looking at Su Qingyan, Aunt Liu sighed heavily, her eyes filled with helplessness.

The girl crying and wailing in front of me is no longer the innocent and kind-hearted Qingyan I remember.

She shook her head and said, "Qingyan, Aunt Liu doesn't want to dwell on it too much. Since someone wants to harm you, then you should stay by Aunt Liu's side, and Aunt Liu will protect you."

Su Qingyan stopped sobbing and stared straight at Liu Ma's face. Her lips trembled slightly. She could tell that Liu Ma didn't believe her.

I didn't even want to hear her continue crying.

Her eyes were filled with disappointment; her once bright and lively eyes now seemed shrouded in a dark mist.

Why, why doesn't even Aunt Liu believe her?

Scenes from my childhood flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

Back then, Aunt Liu would always hold her in her arms with a kind smile, secretly give her sweet candies, and affectionately call her "my dear girl".

When she bumped or bruised herself, they rushed to comfort her and ask how she was doing. That unconditional love was the warmest foundation of her childhood.

But why, at a time like this, would I choose not to believe her?

Su Qingyan's eyes were filled with hatred. This time, Lin Ling almost killed her!

Just then, Lin Tianwu called.

Su Qingyan's eyes lit up.

Lin Tianwu has hooked up with the big star Yang Li; maybe that will be helpful to him.

Afraid that Liu Ma would hear something she shouldn't, she hurriedly left the ward, reached out and swiped the screen to answer the phone.

Almost at the same instant, Lin Tianwu's concerned voice rang out urgently from the other end of the phone: "Qingyan, are you alright?"

Hearing that familiar and long-lost voice, Su Qingyan's tense nerves relaxed suddenly, and she could no longer suppress her grievances, so she burst into tears: "I'm doomed."

Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness. "All my investments have failed, I'm drowning in debt, and those investors are chasing me for money every day. I really don't know what to do."

Lin Tianwu was silent for a moment, then said, "I can help you, but you have to listen to me."

Su Qingyan looked at him with excitement, as if he had grasped a lifeline.

She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears, and said urgently, "Tianwu, you're still the best to me. I... I shouldn't have broken up with you back then."

Unexpectedly, Lin Tianwu would speak up for him at this time.

She was filled with regret, wishing she had never broken up with Lin Tianwu.

He's still the best to me.
