When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 692: Mu Ke, Let’s Give It a Try (2)

"Once? Where there’s a first, there’s a second. You’re driving me crazy. You’re sleeping on the sofa tonight, and then go apologize to Jiayu, for helping that scumbag."

Xue Lu and Chen Xueli always had a good relationship. Although Chen Xueli wasn’t very romantic, he was genuinely sincere towards Xue Lu, honest and ambitious, and the two of them hardly ever argued.

Sheng Jiayu listened for a couple of sentences and roughly understood that Chen Xueli must have helped Xin Ke.

Back when she and Xin Ke hadn’t divorced yet, they often interacted. There was money to be made together, and since they were both in business, naturally, there was a lot of cooperation.

However, as her relationship with Xin Ke broke down, Xue Lu stood firmly by her best friend and cut off cooperation with Xin Ke.

She didn’t know what had happened this time.

Sheng Jiayu reached out and knocked on the door. It was ajar, so she gently pushed it open and walked in. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The two inside stopped arguing, looking somewhat awkward.

Xue Lu was the first to come over: "Jiayu, how come you’re here?"

Sheng Jiayu smiled: "I had an appointment to discuss something today, and I happened to be near you, so I swung by."

Xue Lu pulled her to sit down and then, with irritation, said to Chen Xueli: "I want to talk to Jiayu privately, you go out."

Chen Xueli greeted Sheng Jiayu and obediently went out.

As soon as he left, Xue Lu grabbed Sheng Jiayu’s hand and said: "Did you hear what we just said? I don’t know what’s gotten into Xueli’s head that he actually agreed to that scumbag."

"What’s going on?"

"It seems Xin Ke’s company has some issues and asked us to lend him money for some turnover."

"Lend money?"

"Yeah, thirty thousand."

Sheng Jiayu frowned. Xin Ke’s company was founded by her and him together. It’s not a publicly traded company, but it’s much larger in scale compared to Xue Lu and Chen Xueli’s. Xin Ke, after all, is worth tens of millions. How could he resort to begging for a mere thirty thousand?

Seeming to notice her doubts, Xue Lu explained: "You might not know this, but over the past half year, that scumbag’s company has been through quite a bit. Not long ago, they were exposed for using substandard materials. Although it was suppressed quickly, you know how it goes in business."

Sheng Jiayu did know that after she left, Xin Ke lost several major deals, but she hadn’t paid attention to things after that. She hadn’t expected that in just a year, the once-thriving company would end up like this.

"Sigh, forget it, let’s not talk about it. Talking about him makes me angry. Someone like that deserves it. He was working with a materials factory that was some relative of Su Wan’s. Getting screwed over is just karma. But for you, no matter what happens with Xin Ke, it has nothing to do with you now. If you act foolishly again, I’ll end our friendship."

Xue Lu’s meaning was clear to Sheng Jiayu. She shook her head with a smile: "He won’t come to me. He still has that bit of pride. Even if he does come, I wouldn’t help him."

"I wouldn’t bet on it. People change. I still say, I’ve never thought of him as someone honorable. For people like him, in the face of profit, pride is nothing. You say you won’t help, but if you do, watch me beat you up."

Sheng Jiayu smiled indifferently. She trusted Xin Ke’s pride; she didn’t believe he could stoop so low as to seek help from the ex-wife he left behind when he was in trouble.

"Alright, how about having dinner together tonight?"
