Chapter 552: Chapter 552
Pu Sangzhi hadn’t expected Ye Xi to already know about the debt.
Moreover, after finding out about the debt, there wasn’t a hint of wanting to escape in her mindset.
Just listening to Ye Xi’s words, Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen were deeply moved!
Pu Sangzhi glanced at Chen Huifen, and seeing that she remained silent, she took the initiative to say, "Brother Ye Xi, I didn’t go to Beijing. My mom and I are still in Rui’an... Tonight is okay, there’s nothing more happening. Tomorrow... can you come pick us up tomorrow?"
"No need to wait until tomorrow, I’ll come get you right now."
Ye Xi’s tone was decisive, "Send me your address right away, why are you only calling me now? You should have called me when things happened!"
"Exactly, Sangzhi! I told you to call me if anything came up, didn’t I?"
On the other end of the phone, Ye Qingcao was also shouting loudly, her carefree voice cutting through the call, able to convey a sense of genuine warmth.
In fact, during the time Ye Qingcao stayed at Pu Sangzhi’s home, she had already noticed there were issues in the household.
But Pu Sangzhi refused to tell her and wouldn’t even tell Huo Feng, making Ye Qingcao feel like her best friend was not taking her seriously.
However, Ye Qingcao still managed to overhear the problems at Pu Sangzhi’s home, thanks to her natural eavesdropping abilities.
Upon overhearing, she immediately informed Ye Xi of everything.
As a result, Ye Xi had come back from Beijing earlier than planned.
Yet, when Ye Xi returned, everything at Pu Sangzhi’s home seemed fine, so Ye Xi didn’t say anything.
Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao, the siblings, were actually waiting for Pu Sangzhi’s family to speak up.
Because if the mother and daughter didn’t take the initiative, no matter how much Yi Xi and Ye Qingcao asked, they wouldn’t tell the truth.
It was like during last year’s New Year’s celebration when they kept the debt a complete secret and even concocted excuses to deceive the Ye Family...
Sometimes, you can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
So, Ye Xi and Ye Qingcao had also been waiting for Pu Sangzhi to seek help from their family.
Finally, the day came, and the siblings spared no effort, rushing to the forefront!
Pu Sangzhi heard Ye Xi say on the phone that he was already in the garage, about to drive over.
With their urgent tone, Pu Sangzhi had no choice but to send them the address.
Ye Xi had previously brought Ye Qingcao to the secret base, so once he saw the address, he started the car without hesitation and set off.
After hanging up the phone, the siblings would soon arrive...
Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen got out of bed simultaneously, beginning to pack their belongings, ready to leave the place.
Pu Sangzhi was packing her suitcase when she looked up and saw Huo Feng’s black suitcase.
She remembered that she had just promised Huo Feng to visit him at his house tomorrow, but she was leaving tonight.
"Mom, how about you go with Brother Ye Xi first today?"
Pu Sangzhi was contemplating reneging on her promise, wanting to stay another night for Huo Feng’s sake.
However, Chen Huifen refused, "We should leave together; how can I let you stay behind alone? Absolutely not!"
While Pu Sangzhi was busy packing, she talked to Chen Huifen, "I told Huo Feng I would visit him tomorrow. He was beaten up like that today and even fainted from heatstroke. I must go see him tomorrow; I can’t break that promise to him."
Chen Huifen understood Pu Sangzhi’s meaning, "Then come back tomorrow. Go with mom first today, and you can come back tomorrow."
Pu Sangzhi hesitated, "Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?"
Chen Huifen tried to convince her, "For Xiaofeng, I think you wouldn’t mind the trouble. Go there tonight and just think of it as doing it for me. I don’t want you staying here alone, or I’ll stay with you."
"Mom... Brother Ye Xi is already coming," Pu Sangzhi protested.
Chen Huifen replied, "Yes, he’s coming. How can you stay behind? He won’t let you stay either."
Listening to Chen Huifen persuade her this way, Pu Sangzhi thought it over and finally agreed, "Okay, I’ll just go with you."
Then she’ll just come back tomorrow. Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
After all, the place was so secluded that Pu Sangzhi believed she would be safe going back and forth on her own.
Moreover, the three brutes had been detained by the police for 48 hours and wouldn’t be released by tomorrow.
Therefore, it would still be safe tomorrow.
Chen Huifen said, "Quickly finish packing; we can’t keep them waiting."
Pu Sangzhi hastened the packing of her luggage.
She hadn’t touched Huo Feng’s black suitcase at all.
She planned to leave it there and, when she returned tomorrow, take it back to Huo Feng...
About 20 minutes later, Ye Xi had already parked the car near their secret base.
He and Ye Qingcao hurriedly got out of the car and rushed into the secret base.
Just at that time, Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen were carrying their luggage of various sizes and backpacks downstairs.
Ye Xi quickly walked over, took the luggage from Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen, and also said to Sangzhi, "Give me the backpack."
Pu Sangzhi, with a heavy backpack on her shoulder, felt obliged to hand it over to Ye Xi, but she refused, "No need, Brother Ye Xi, let’s just go."
"Sangzhi, let me carry something for you! I’m empty-handed!"
Ye Qingcao, eager to demonstrate her willingness to help, noticed that she hadn’t taken anything and also clamored to take the backpack from Pu Sangzhi.
"Really, it’s okay, let’s go," Pu Sangzhi still refused.
Afterwards, the Ye siblings helped them out of the secret base with their mother and daughter, and brought them to his car.
Pu Sangzhi and Chen Huifen got into the car, and after Ye Xi had put the two suitcases in, he hurried back and took the driver’s seat.
Ye Qingcao sat in the back, beside Sangzhi, affectionately holding Sangzhi’s hand, her little hand rubbing up and down Sangzhi’s arm.
"Sangzhi, you must have suffered a lot today..."
Ye Qingcao looked at Pu Sangzhi’s exhausted face with particular sympathy, "Look, you didn’t even get to enjoy your trip, you must have had a hard time. Ah, that’s so pitiful, let me give you a hug..."
Before Pu Sangzhi could say anything, Ye Qingcao had already hugged her, blinking her watery eyes, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.
Pu Sangzhi felt warmth from all around today; Huo Feng’s kindness alone had made her heart melt.
Ye Qingcao was the same.
Brother Ye Xi as well.
She and her mother were not as helpless as they had been in Shanghai.
There were still many people who cherished them, willing to offer them support, to give them a shoulder to lean on.
Pu Sangzhi tilted her head slightly, gently resting it against Ye Qingcao’s forehead.
Ye Qingcao was silent for a while, then asked again, "Sangzhi, what about Feng? Since you didn’t go on the trip, where is he?"
Upon mentioning Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi felt a twinge of pain in her heart, and her distress was still very evident...
"He went home," Pu Sangzhi said.
"That’s good, Feng must have had a hard day too."
Without Sangzhi needing to say much, her best friend Ye Qingcao could independently guess a lot and understand that both Pu Sangzhi and Huo Feng must have had a tough time.
Therefore, Ye Qingcao hugged Pu Sangzhi even tighter, her eyes turning red with heartache, wanting to cry desperately...
"Sangzhi, it’s good that Feng was with you today. Otherwise, you and auntie would have suffered even more. Ah... I can’t help you at all, I am such a useless sister... sorry, Sangzhi..."
Ye Qingcao held Pu Sangzhi and murmured to herself.
Pu Sangzhi’s face pressed against Ye Qingcao’s head, gently rubbing, "Today, I really wronged Huo Feng... I am so sorry to him..."
For some reason, whenever she brought up Huo Feng, she felt an unbearable heartache, her eyes would redden, her nose would sting, and she would feel like crying...
By the end of that sentence, Pu Sangzhi’s voice had taken on a crying tone, overwhelmed with sadness...
Hearing Pu Sangzhi about to cry, Ye Qingcao, who was already steps ahead of her in sorrow, quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said in a chocked voice, "Sangzhi, don’t cry, when you cry, I feel like crying too..."
"I will come to see Huo Feng again tomorrow. He was bruised all over today and even fainted. I feel so distressed and heartbroken seeing him like that..."
As Pu Sangzhi spoke, tears quietly streamed down her face, and despite her deep breaths, it seemed she couldn’t control her emotions.
Hearing her so heartbroken, Ye Qingcao felt even more pain, hugging Sangzhi tighter, with tears falling nonstop, "You have suffered, Sangzhi... you’ve really gone through hardship... Feng has too... Ah, my heart aches for you both..."
For a moment, the two girls in the back seat had red, tearful eyes, shedding many tears.
Ye Xi, who was driving in the front, glanced at them through the rearview mirror, gripping the steering wheel tighter, his mood equally heavy.
