The CEO's wife, suffering from terminal cancer, is filled with regret!

“When you were hospitalized last time, I went to visit you and happened to run into her. I asked her for 300,000 yuan, and she readily gave me 500,000 yuan.”

"Son, your wife is so rich, two million three hundred thousand isn't much, she'll definitely give it to you!"

"Mom was also deceived. You can't blame me entirely. You have to save me this time, I promise..."

Before Zhang Guifen could finish speaking, a commotion arose, followed by the arrogant and roguish voice of the man from before.

"Do you have any money or not? If you don't, I'll push your mother off the building right now and make her pay with her life!"

I pursed my lips and asked in a low voice, "Where are you?"

“In your house! You have half an hour. If you don’t come in half an hour, you can expect to see your mother’s corpse.”

"I'll be there right away."

After I hung up the phone, I started the car and drove towards my home.

I never expected that while I was unconscious, Shen Zhixia would give my mother 300,000 yuan without saying a word, and she never mentioned it to me again afterward.

Was she trying to make up for her guilt?

On my drive home, I thought about a lot of things.

I'm planning to sell the house where my mom lives to pay off the debt. That house was bought for my mom after my studio made a profit, so that she could live out the rest of her life without any worries.

With the property, my existing savings, and the sale of the car, I should be able to get 2.3 million.

Twenty minutes later, I returned to my mother's house.

The place was smashed to pieces, and my mother sat slumped on the ground with her hair disheveled.

The person who vandalized my house is currently sitting on the sofa with a stick, idly tapping it intermittently.

"You're Zhang Guifen's son?"

Before I could answer, my mother excitedly exclaimed, "Yes, he is my son, my own son! He will help me pay back the money. His wife is the president of the Shen Group, she's very rich!"

My brow furrowed even more, and I asked through gritted teeth, "Do you have an IOU?"

I don't know who the other party is, but I think if I see the IOU, I might be able to find out who these people are.

If it's usury, it's illegal in itself, and police assistance can give us a much-needed respite.

But they are not.

The leader, smoking a cigarette, smiled mockingly at me as if he could read my mind.

"Young man, we are a legal and compliant lending company, and our lending rates are all standard."

After he finished speaking, he winked at a young man next to him, who immediately took out a contract and handed it to me.

The contract is compliant, and the interest rate and everything else are compliant.

I took a deep breath, closed the contract, and looked at the leader.

"Could you give me another half month? I'll sell the house and the car, and then pay you back the money I owe you?"

When Zhang Guifen heard this, she lowered her head, slumped to the ground, and remained silent.

Just as I was wondering about her behavior, the leader spoke first, "Your mother mortgaged this house to us a long time ago, didn't you know?"

"what?"

I looked at Zhang Guifen in shock. "Mom, is what he said true?"

Zhang Guifen nodded and answered me softly.

"It's true. I... I originally owed more than three million, and they said this house could be used to offset more than one million, so I sold the house to them."

"Nanchen, Mom knows she was wrong, Mom really knows she was wrong, you have to save me! I don't want to die!"

As I watched her cry her heart out in front of me, I felt a surge of anger. I was about to agree when I suddenly remembered something, and my hand froze.

"So, what you told me about investing before was also a lie?"

Zhang Guifen was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting me to suddenly ask this question.

She pursed her lips, a helpless expression on her face. "Son, let me explain. I was originally planning to invest with a few of my girlfriends, but then something unexpected happened, so... so that thing fell through."

"You have to believe me, I'm your mother, I always think about what's best for you, and I want your life to be better, otherwise I wouldn't have..."

Before she could finish speaking, I angrily questioned, "Is this what you call doing it for my own good?"

My dad used to be a heavy drinker and gambler, and my mom would occasionally show some concern for me.

Why is it that now that our lives are getting better and better, she no longer cares about me?

She wasn't like this before.

Zhang Guifen froze for a moment, clearly sensing that something was wrong with me.

"Nanchen, you are my son. I raised you with great difficulty. Even if I haven't done anything special, I have still put in a lot of effort. You won't just abandon me, will you?"

"I...I promise you, this is the last time. I promise I will behave well from now on and will do nothing but eat, drink, and have fun every day. I promise."

She kept repeating her request for my forgiveness, which made the group of people sitting on the sofa a little impatient.

The leader of the debt collectors rolled his eyes in annoyance and shouted, "Are you ever going to stop? Are you going to pay this money today or not? If you can't, you can let this old lady jump off this building!"

"No!"

Zhang Guifen immediately turned to me, looking devastated, "Nanchen, you...you call Shen Zhixia. You can't come up with the money, but she definitely has it."

“She’s your wife. If you just ask, she’ll definitely give you the money! She’s not…”

"enough!"

I interrupted her before she could finish speaking, and turned to look at the man sitting on the sofa. "Brother, it's really difficult for me to give you two million three hundred thousand today. Could you give me a few more days, just a few days, like I just said?"

I hate my mom for being so naive; she actually got scammed out of so much money.

But she is still my mother, and I can't bear to see her die in front of me.

Zhang Guifen slumped to the ground. Hearing this, she nodded in agreement, "Please, give us a few more days. My son is rich. It's only 2.3 million. We can definitely pay it back."

Before the man sitting on the sofa could speak again, I said once more, "Brother, if someone dies, you'll be embroiled in a murder case. You'll be the ones in trouble then, don't you think?"

The man paused for a moment, then finally nodded.

"Then I'll give you ten more days. If you still can't pay back the money within ten days, I'll bring some people to smash up your studio!"

As the man passed by me, a wicked smile crept across his lips. "If I were you, with a mother like that, I'd rather jump off a building and kill myself!"

After saying this, he left with a large group of people, laughing and joking.

In the living room, I stood amidst the mess, looking up at the disheveled Zhang Guifen.

"Did you tell them where my studio was?"
