The Blind Lover-Chapter 163 - Harsh Winter

The little scoundrel was in trouble, yet he still worried about his husband?

Ning Chen pursed his thin lips, his smile elegant and gentle as ever. “Even if you teach him a lesson, do you think he’ll behave here?”

Ning Jie’s family was eyeing the inheritance with hungry eyes. Regardless of whether Qin Yu had taught Ning Yu a lesson or not, he would not give up on his schemes against Ning Chen.

Qin Yu’s actions had only brought forward Ning Jie’s plan.

“That sounds about right.” Qin Yu felt a little cold, so she retreated into the blanket, “You have to be careful, Chen. You’re the smartest person I know but those people are hooligans and scoundrels who play dirty tricks. It’s easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Please look after yourself.”

Ning Chen was her role model. She loved him more than she loved herself. She could not imagine what she would do if anything happened to Ning Chen.

“Don’t worry.” Ning Chen reached out and caressed Qin Yu’s soft cheeks. “I just got together with you. I still want to accompany you for the rest of my life. I will take care of those troublesome people and things and I will also protect myself well.”

The cold wind outside the window was frigid. In the blink of an eye, it was almost the coldest time of the year.

For wealthy families, the weather didn’t affect them at all. The ample heating made their rooms warm and toasty.

However, for those who lived a difficult life, this winter was particularly cold.

Shi Xiao curled up in the thin quilt. Her body shivered and her teeth chattered.

It was so cold. Why had she never realized the insane weather in M City before? 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Shi Xiao lifted the quilt up, but she did not feel any warmth in her body at all.

These days, the family had no money on hand. Even they had to beg the landlord to pay rent for only the initial two months. Otherwise, they would be stretched beyond their limits.

Shi Yong suddenly went from a proud and well-known entrepreneur to a poor man. He could not adapt to the current lifestyle. He did not give up and wanted to make a comeback. Relying on connections he had accumulated over the years in M City, perhaps he could even start a business again.

Hence, Shi Yong went looking for his friends and acquaintances who had any business relationships with him in the past every day and shamelessly invited them to dinner.

Most of them immediately rejected Shi Yong. They knew very well that after this meal, they owe Shi Yong a favor. At the very least, Shi Yong would ask them for money, or perhaps he wanted to establish a partnership with them.

Although Shi Yong wasn’t a big shot previously, he still had some capital in his hands and was worthy of their consideration. However, he had now lost all value.

They were no longer people of the same class.

Shi Yong did not realize this. Although he was rejected by man, he felt that they were merely following the trends. In the past, he was their brothers and best buddies in times of glory. Now that he was in trouble… they ignored him, leaving him struggling alone in the darkness.

After he regain his footing, he would teach them a lesson they would never forget!

Shi Yong was filled with resentment and hesitation. He persevered and looked for other people. He did not believe that the people he had befriended for so many years were all heartless people.

There were also some cases where some people did not realize what kind of situation Shi Yong had fallen into. When they saw Shi Yong’s invitation, they even thought that Shi Yong still had some money on him, they also did not know how bad Shi Yong’s debt situation was after his company went bankrupt, so they gladly attended.

Shi Yong checked his wallet and pockets and found the best restaurant within his ability. However, restaurants found all over the streets weren’t up to the standards of these businessmen.

Many people immediately understood the whole picture when they realized where they were having the meal. With that, came the feeling of regret. They shouldn’t have attended.

At the dinner table, although Shi Yong tried his best to communicate to his friends, there were very few people who responded.

After the meal, Shi Yong shamelessly expressed his desire to continue business cooperation with them. They merely changed the topic or painfully expressed that they were unable to do anything in their abilities. Some were very forthright and immediately rejected him.

After the meal, Shi Yong’s heart also turned cold.

After the burning of anger and hatred, there was only bone-deep despair and fear in his heart.

Was that the end for him?

Then what would he do in the future?

Would he have to live the life of an ordinary person that he never knew?

Shi Yong felt dizzy and nearly fainted on the ground.

Shi Yong had spent a large sum of money on inviting people to dinner. Qu Li had asked him for money to buy a few sets of down jackets, but he had not gotten them and she suddenly lost her temper.
