Xu Qiaoqiao listened intently as the doctor answered the phone and then, to her surprise and anger, exclaimed loudly: "What, lost again?"
"I've told you, don't come looking for my son, I'll pay off the usurious loans!"
"How much money is needed this time? Alright, wait for me, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she hugged her mobile and paced back and forth a few times. Eventually, she stopped, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. As soon as the call was connected, she began speaking flatteringly with a smile: "Mrs. Ning ah..."
Calling Mrs. Ning?
Was this a plea for help?
