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

"Enough! When will you stop?!"

I could no longer control my temper and snapped at Zhang Guifen in a fit of rage.

"What I have with Shen Zhixia has nothing to do with you! I've already said I'll find a way to pay the money you owe, why won't you believe me!"

“I told you before not to fall for those scams, did you listen? You never listened to me, and now you’ve been scammed out of so much money, who can you blame!”

"Zhang Guifen, you're coming home with me right now. If you don't come with me, I'll never take care of you again!"

My mother stood there, stunned, turning to look at Shen Zhixia, then at me.

Shen Zhixia chuckled and clapped her hands, "Well done, one played the good cop and the other the bad cop, very good."

“Ji Nanchen, I’m not stupid. I won’t let you fool me a second time after you’ve fooled me once. I’m not your ATM. If you need money, go get a loan yourself.”

After saying this, she got up and walked towards the office door. As she opened the door, she paused and glanced sideways. "When your mother came to the company to cause trouble, there were negative rumors about Shen's Group online. I have already asked Shen's Group's public relations department to take action to deal with the situation immediately."

"You can do whatever you want with the rest, it doesn't matter."

After saying this, Shen Zhixia opened the office door and left.

"boom!"

The office returned to silence.

I reached out and clutched my stomach, forcing myself to sit on the nearest chair, my eyes lowered as I gasped for breath.

What happened today was completely unexpected.

Shen Zhixia thought that I had orchestrated all of this myself. I don't know when I started to become so despicable in her eyes.

No, or rather, in her heart, I have always been this despicable.

After regaining her senses, Zhang Guifen walked slowly to my side and looked at me cautiously.

"Nan Chen, I... I didn't expect things to get this serious. I know I was wrong. Please don't abandon me."

I gave a mocking laugh.

My illness has relapsed. I can feel large drops of sweat dripping from my forehead, and my face is very pale.

But my biological mother didn't notice anything unusual about me; she only cared about herself.

I gritted my teeth, my hands trembling as I took out the special painkiller Dr. Lin had prescribed for me, poured out two pills, and swallowed them.

After I calmed down, I got up and walked outside. "Let's go."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back with you."

Zhang Guifen dared not make a fuss anymore and followed me cautiously, afraid that I would ignore her.

She originally thought that if she made a scene today, Shen Zhixia would give her three million yuan because of what others said. But what she didn't know was that Shen Zhixia never cared about her life or death.

As we walked out of the Shen Group building, I was about to reach out to flag down a car when Zhang Guifen suddenly tugged at my sleeve.

"Nan Chen, do you think those people are the same ones who came to collect debts the other day?"

When I turned my head, I saw Zhang Jie smiling broadly as she greeted the group of people as they walked into Shen's.

Does Shen Zhixia know that group of people?

Could something have happened to the Shen Group that's why she needs to find someone to take out a loan?

"son?"

"Let's go back."

I hailed a taxi and took her back to her hotel.

Later that day, I approached my studio partner and proposed selling my shares to him. He readily agreed and bought them at the original market price.

The studio's shares were sold for 600,000.

I currently have 1.5 million, and there's still a shortfall of 800,000.

On the sixth day, I went to the bank to apply for a loan of 800,000 yuan.

After all the formalities were completed, the bank staff told me that the review results would take two days.

Two days later, a bank employee called me and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, your loan application has not been approved. We have verified that you do not currently have a stable income and your bank statements show low turnover, so we are temporarily unable to approve your loan application."

"My income has been stable for the past year, is that not allowed?"

My hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and my palms were already damp with a thin layer of sweat.

The next second, an unexpected voice came from the phone, "That's all in the past. What do you have now?"

"Xu Jin?"

I never expected to hear Xu Jin's voice on the phone.

Was my loan application rejected because of his interference?

"Ji Nanchen, you're so smart, you recognized my voice right away."

Xu Jin's voice carried a hint of smugness. I frowned and was about to hang up when Xu Jin's voice came again, "Your house and car are gone, your studio is gone. What do you have left besides yourself?"

"If I were you, I'd rather jump off the roof!"

I caught my breath and suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

How did Xu Jin know these things?

Has he been having people follow me all along?

I frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How do you know all this?"

"Guess."

As Xu Jin finished speaking, a strange laugh came from the phone.

I hung up the phone with a sullen face, and suddenly remembered the scene when Zhang Guifen and I left Shen's Group that day, and saw Zhang Jie receiving that group of people.

A terrible thought suddenly arose in my mind.

Could it be that all of this was a setup by Shen Zhixia?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when I dismissed it.

Shen Zhixia couldn't possibly be that kind of person.

I turned to look out the window, took a few deep breaths, and then continued making calls to other banks to prepare for loan applications.

It was too late, because my mother was kidnapped by that group of people again.

As soon as I answered the phone with my mother, I heard her wailing cries, "Nanchen, save your mother, please save your mother!"

"Mom, where are you?"

I got up and walked towards the door, getting downstairs as quickly as possible.

The next second, that arrogant and mocking voice came from the phone, "We're all at your house."

"Didn't we agree that you'd give me ten days? Only eight days have passed, why did you suddenly take my mother away?"

I tried to calm myself down, but my whole body just wouldn't stop shaking.

I don't like Zhang Guifen, but she is my only family member in this world, and I can't lose her.

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and continued, "Because I'm in a bad mood today, I want to punish you debtors who don't pay your debts in advance."

"Brother, don't get agitated, I'm coming right away."

The phone was hung up as soon as I finished speaking.

On my way to my mother's house by taxi, I called Meng Jinghuai.

I still asked him for money.

I said, "Jinghuai, my mother owes 2.3 million yuan, and I'm still short 800,000 yuan. I... I went to the bank to apply for a loan, but my loan application was not approved. I really have no other choice. Could you lend me 800,000 yuan first?"
