Hidden Moth

Chapter 140: Stirred Emotions and Lingering Affections


He Shan changed color and said, "Wasn't it because that company had an incident... how did you know?"

He Kao: "Xinda Internet Finance Co., Ltd., is this the one? Indeed, last year there was an issue, but after penalties, it didn't close down; it's still operating normally now.

If you think you can avoid debt because of this, weren't you first borrowing money from a different company? The previous one recommended borrowing new to repay the old, so then you borrowed from them to pay the old debt.

Even if they reduce the interest, can you avoid repaying the principal? The police don't have the power to stop you from repaying, right? Have any police come to verify with you?

To be honest, it was Xiaopang who heard about it, went to that company voluntarily, and helped you repay the debt. The loan contract and everything were taken back; that was more than half a year ago!"

He Shan looked at Xiaopang and said, "How did he find out?"

He Kao: "I told him. I have a lawyer friend who last year helped a student's parents with a similar case. That student's situation was much like yours; she found out, and then I told Xiaopang.

After Xiaopang heard it, he pulled me along to that company and helped you pay off the debt..."

As He Kao spoke, he sighed inwardly, thinking that this girl really has a big heart, owing so much money to a loan company. The other side hadn't been chasing the debt for suddenly more than half a year, and she acted like nothing happened.

Many of He Shan's habits can hardly be said not to be influenced by her aunt.

Aunt secretly hid prohibited and dangerous items in He Kao's house, thinking it would be okay. She wasn't thinking about what would happen if the police found out, but rather was gambling with luck, substituting reality with lucky imaginations.

He Shan's problem is the same, gambling with luck, thinking that since the other side hadn't chased the debt for months due to certain changes, they wouldn't come back to demand it again.

She hasn't told the family about this matter until now, nor has she thought of clarifying the exact situation. A chance encounter on the street today finally exposed the inner story, and He Shan's reaction seemed like a long sigh of relief.

She looked at Xiaopang bashfully and said, "Thank you, really, thank you so much! But right now, I still don't have..."

He Kao interrupted her and said, "I know you don't have money now, obviously working outside, but then you were called back to help with the family's business, and Aunt doesn't even give you a salary monthly but just some pocket money, saying she'll buy you whatever you want..."

While speaking, he also sighed inwardly again. At least Xiaoshan understands gratitude; her first reaction was to thank Xiaopang, rather than anything else.

Xiaopang interrupted him again and said, "Say a few less words, will you? We know what the situation is at her house."

He Shan plead pitifully, "So, can this matter please not be told to..."

He Kao interrupted her again: "I'm not saying this to urge you to repay immediately, but with such a matter, you clearly couldn't handle it yourself. You should've told the family long ago, otherwise, it wouldn't have snowballed for years into such a huge debt!

Your IOU has already been retrieved, and tomorrow I'll let Mrs. Chen take it to your house. Think first about how to explain to Aunt when you go back."

He Kao unleashed a big move at last, planning to give He Shan's IOU to Mrs. Chen and tell her about the matter. Can Xiaopang, who voluntarily paid 150,000 for the girl, keep this under wraps?

Xiaopang might agree, but Mrs. Chen couldn't possibly agree.

Of course, all this somewhat stems from He Kao himself having some trepidation towards Aunt, not wanting to deal with her because of this matter.

He Shan panicked upon hearing this: "No, this past half-year I've saved up almost twenty thousand, I'll repay Xiaopang first, and the rest I'll return slowly!"

Xiaopang also got a bit anxious: "No, don't tell my mom."

He Kao decisively stood up and said, "You guys discuss it slowly here; I'm leaving now!"

Who knows what He Shan and Xiaopang discussed, but in any case, when Xiaopang returned home, He Kao had already come and gone. His mother was not yet asleep, just sitting on the sofa waiting for him, with a stack of documents on the coffee table in front of her.

Seeing Xiaopang return home, Mrs. Chen picked up the documents and asked him what was going on. He Kao had already briefly explained it, and after a lot of effort, Xiaopang managed to clarify.

He Kao went back to the city early the next morning, as if he had stirred up a hornet's nest and ran away. Who knows what fuss Aunt could still kick up, Xiaoshan getting scolded is unavoidable, but some things just have to be made clear.

If Xiaopang really has feelings for He Shan, then it would give him a chance; if not, then it would be better to cut off the notion early!

In He Kao's view, whomever wants to be with Xiaoshan, in a proper way, has to pass Aunt's test. The key is not to go along with Aunt, but to subdue her, otherwise, even if they get involved with Xiaoshan, there'll be no good days ahead.

Xiaopang either can deal with Aunt or should just retreat and back away... but that would be a pity for Xiaoshan.

He Kao has somewhat contradictory and complicated feelings toward Aunt's family; deep down, he values family bonds greatly, but also really cannot tolerate certain things.

As the saying goes, "Even a fair judge finds it hard to resolve household affairs," and now as a Hidden Moth Sect Tier Three Explorer, who has taken down the Huiming Shi Family, he still doesn't have any good solutions for his aunt's household.

By noon the next day, Aunt indeed called him. He Kao had to lower the volume, or he felt like the phone's screen would explode.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen had taken the IOU materials over to Aunt's house. Mrs. Chen is a well-respected, genteel person in town, speaking in a very gentle manner, clarifying that she wasn't there to demand debt repayment.

She just got to know about this matter, then delivered the items to the He Family, also mentioning that both kids were so ignorant that they hadn't told the family all this time. Luckily, Xiao Kao remembered it.
