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

"Mom, give me a little more time, I'll collect it all."

I desperately wanted to pull Zhang Guifen away from here, but she seemed to read my mind and forcefully broke free from my grasp.

She said, "Don't lie to your mother. Do you think I don't know how much money you have?"

"All the money you've earned over the years, besides buying me a house and covering daily expenses, has all gone to buying things for Shen Zhixia. Now those people suddenly want more than two million, where are you going to get the money!"

At this point, Zhang Guifen's eyes widened as she stared intently at me. "I'm your own mother. You wouldn't really just watch them drive me to my death, would you?"

"No, I will definitely find a way to borrow the money."

I just haven't decided who to borrow money from yet.

Actually, on the day I sold the car, I was thinking of selling the only valuable thing I owned: my shares in the studio. But now the studio is in a bad situation, the stock price has already plummeted, and the shares are not worth much anymore. I'm afraid that if I talk to my partner about selling the shares now, it will only make things worse for him.

I gritted my teeth, reached out and grabbed Zhang Guifen's hand tightly. "Let's go home!"

I held her hands with all my might to prevent her from breaking free again.

Zhang Guifen was stunned for a moment, and then, after realizing what was happening, she shouted even louder.

“I’m not going home. You and Shen Zhixia are a legally married couple. Now that I’m in trouble, what’s wrong with Shen Zhixia giving me some money?”

“Son, look at this office. Even the chairs are leather. Shen Zhixia is much richer than we imagined! She’s cheated on you so much over the years, what’s wrong with her giving us some money to compensate us!”

Green hat?

Over the years, I seem to have gotten used to hearing this word, and I thought I no longer cared.

But for some reason, the way Zhang Guifen said that word sounded incredibly jarring to me.

Those few seconds of stunned silence seemed to Zhang Guifen as if she had found my weakness.

She rushed to the office door, flung it open, and her wailing echoed throughout the senior management of the Shen Group.

"You all come and judge for yourselves. Shen Zhixia is my Ji family's daughter-in-law. I can forgive her for not being filial to me all these years, but now that I'm in trouble, what's wrong with her helping me?"

“Over the years, my son has spent all the money he has earned on his own family. Now that there are some problems at home, she doesn’t care anymore. What kind of daughter-in-law does that?”

"My life is so miserable! How did I end up with such a daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Guifen complained with tears streaming down her face, and the employees who were originally sitting at their workstations all craned their necks to look at her, their eyes full of gossip.

My face flushed red and then turned pale. I angrily grabbed her hand and dragged her back into the office.

"Mom! What are you trying to do?!"

"I told you, I'll find a way to raise that money. Do you really have to embarrass yourself here?!"

By the end, my voice was almost a scream.

Zhang Guifen stared at me blankly, seemingly not expecting me to get so angry, but I really couldn't control my temper.

I was already thinking of all sorts of reasons to divorce Shen Zhixia; I didn't want to owe her anything, but...

Just as my thoughts were in turmoil, the office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

"boom!"

Shen Zhixia walked into the office with a cold expression and slammed the door shut behind her.

"Have you had enough trouble?!"

I clenched my fists at my sides and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'll take my mom away right away."

After regaining her senses, Zhang Guifen frowned and glared at me unhappily. "Why are you leaving? I came here today to get my money!"

She turned to look at Shen Zhixia, a slightly ingratiating expression on her face.

“Zhixia, Mom didn’t mean to make a big fuss about it. It was just an emergency. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so I had no choice but to come to your door.”

Shen Zhixia gave me a mocking look, a look that made me feel instantly ashamed.

"Tell me, how much does it cost?"

"Not much, just three million will be enough."

Zhang Guifen looked at Shen Zhixia with a smile, as if she wasn't the one who had just thrown a tantrum.

As soon as I heard her speak, I turned around and glared at her. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

She only needed to borrow 1.4 million from Shen Zhixia, but she actually asked for 3 million!

Zhang Guifen rolled her eyes at me, grabbed my hand, and scolded me in a low voice.

"Don't speak! If you won't save my life, can't I save myself?"

I frowned and turned to look at Shen Zhixia, saying with difficulty, "No... I don't need that much, Shen Zhixia. Please lend me 1.4 million yuan. I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Shen Zhixia smiled sarcastically, "Who said I was going to lend you money?"

I stood there stunned, not able to react, when Zhang Guifen went crazy first.

"What? You're not going to give us the money? Aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble again?"

Hearing this, I felt embarrassed again.

Shen Zhixia laughed even more freely.

She sat leisurely in the chair closest to her, casually playing with her nails.

"Ji Nanchen, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve lately, all sorts of strange and endless ones. What's the point? Money?"

"I'm not your ATM, why are you asking me for money in all sorts of different ways?"

"Last time you staged a scene at the hospital with so many people, and this time you brought your mother to cause trouble at our door. What will you do next time?"

My brows furrowed even more, and I quickly shook my head.

"No, I didn't, I..."

"You don't want money anymore?"

Shen Zhixia asked me a question indifferently, leaving me speechless.

After regaining her senses, Zhang Guifen immediately stepped forward, "We want our money back! We want our money back! Zhixia, this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so foolish, I wouldn't have been scammed out of 2.3 million yuan. Those people threatened me, saying I had to pay it back within ten days, or they would kill me."

"Mom is only in her fifties and doesn't want to die. Please, you must help me."

Shen Zhixia looked at Zhang Guifen with amusement and asked indifferently, "So what? You owe them two million three hundred thousand, what does that have to do with me?"

I pursed my lips and awkwardly stepped forward to grab Zhang Guifen's wrist again.

"Mom, let's go. I'll figure out how to handle the money."

What can you possibly do?

Zhang Guifen forcefully shook off my hand, turned around angrily, and started cursing at Shen Zhixia, "You're my son's wife, and now that I'm in trouble, what's wrong with you helping me?"

“My son has been so devoted to you all these years, but how have you treated him? You’ve been having affairs with other men, you’re hardly ever home, and there are scandals about you everywhere. Look at any other daughter-in-law who is as shameless as you.”

“My son only earns so little money a month, and he spends it all on you. What’s wrong with you giving us some money now?”
