I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating-Chapter 105 - Huge Debt in One Night

In university, she didn’t have much money. Once, she accidentally dirtied a classmate’s canvas bag. When she found out that the canvas bag was worth several thousand dollars, she gritted her teeth and paid for it.

She felt that she had to make up for her mistakes. Even if others said that it was not necessary, she didn’t want to owe others a favor. If she did something wrong, she had to make up for it. This was her principle.

But she could afford to pay for the canvas bag. She could not afford to pay for the eight-digit luxury watch no matter how hard she gritted her teeth!

Even if it was not eight digits, even if it was seven or six digits, it was still a test of her endurance!

If she had known that she would get into such trouble when she was drunk, she would not have eaten even a piece of alcoholic chocolate in her entire life!

The only fortunate thing was that she was only here for an interview and to go through the entry procedure. She did not need to go to work. Otherwise, with the knowledge that she owed a huge sum of money, she would not be able to bear it.

She walked out of the company in a daze and went to the car to enjoy the cool air from the air conditioner for a long time before she managed to pull herself together.

She did not know what it felt like to wear a luxury watch that was worth as much as a big house in the city center. However, she knew what it felt like to be in debt of tens of millions overnight.

Xiang Xiaoyuan actually wondered if Lu Wanggui was trying to extort her, but this thought only lingered in her mind for two seconds before she denied it. Would Lu Wanggui, the richest man in the world, lie to extort her? To extort money from her?

No one would believe it.

Xiang Xiaoyuan drove home. She didn’t even have the mood to go to Yang Liu’s place to get her luggage. When she got home, she climbed up the stairs with a dispirited expression. Her state gave Butler Liu a fright. Although Butler Liu was old, his body was still strong, he followed Xiang Xiaoyuan in two or three steps and asked worriedly, “Madam, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan had used up all her strength on the drive home from the suburbs. She waved her hand weakly and said, “Nothing, I’m just a little tired.”

She felt that she was overwhelmed by a huge debt.

She bent down and said with a weary expression, “Oh right, you don’t have to call me for dinner. I don’t want to eat.”

Butler Liu was stunned. He said subconsciously, “Today, the kitchen has prepared your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as caviar and fresh steak that were just flown in from abroad.”

If it were in the past, Xiang Xiaoyuan would have replied, “Okay, please call me for dinner on time tonight.” But now, she was thinking about her huge debt and could not muster up any appetite, so she waved her hand, “I don’t want to eat. I want to rest.”

Butler Liu was stunned. What had happened to make the madam, who had always loved delicious food, lose her appetite?!

Xiang Xiaoyuan liked the Lu family’s chefs the most. In the past, she was more excited than anyone else when it came to eating. Therefore, during this period of time, all the butlers and servants in the villa knew that the madam did not have any other hobbies, other than going out every day and eating!

But now, she did not even want to eat, which showed how serious the matter was. If it were not for his experience, Butler Liu would have called an ambulance to get Xiang Xiaoyuan to the hospital for a check-up!

Lu Bei arrived home more than an hour later than Xiang Xiaoyuan. When he pushed open the door of the villa, the sun was already setting. Generally speaking, during the winter and summer holidays, Lu Bei’s schedule was very irregular. He usually played games until late into the night, then got up in the afternoon the next day. His meal time was also not fixed, so he did not meet Xiang Xiaoyuan quite often in the past.

But this time was not quite the same. He went to work every day to move bricks. He was also used to seeing Xiang Xiaoyuan in the restaurant after work. Although the two of them did not communicate much, they ate dinner together.

Therefore, when Lu Bei went upstairs to take a shower and washed off his fatigue, he found that he was the only one with a pair of chopsticks in the restaurant. He paused and asked casually, “Uncle Liu, is she not back yet?”

Routine… was a scary thing. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Just like how he had decided to stay out of Xiang Xiaoyuan’s way, but they lived under the same roof and met every day. After a long time, it would become a habit.

Butler Liu sighed and said worriedly, “Madam came back early, but she said she didn’t want to eat.”

Lu Bei looked surprised and realized the seriousness of the matter. “What happened to her?”

Based on the situation yesterday, his father had carried her in from outside in the middle of the night. Although he felt that it was very awkward to bump into them, he guessed that his father had dealt with the rumors on the internet.

Then what was the situation now? Why did she suddenly not want to eat?
