Recollections｜Chapter 1289: It Is only Natural to Pay Back Debts

No. 1801, Molan Apartment, Huyuan Road.

He Xiyan stared at the line of words on the screen and read it several times until she could recite it backwards.

She looked up at the ceiling, thinking about what to do.

She really liked this boy, although she had only seen him six or seven times, all on that playground. But she couldn't forget him more and more, and sometimes she would dream about him.

She hadn't been in a relationship yet, but she knew that this was love, because every time she saw him, she would blush and her heart would beat fast, and sometimes she would even fantasize about how nice it would be if she could be his girlfriend.

She had recently thought about actively pursuing him. It was said on TV that it was easy for a girl to pursue a boy.

But she was afraid of being rejected by him, or even laughed at by him. After all, in all aspects, she was not worthy of him, especially since he used to be a student at Harvard University.

She used to think that she was not worthy of him in terms of appearance, and now she was not worthy of him even in terms of academic qualifications.

Would he really like her like this?

He Xiyan was in trouble. She rubbed her temples and felt a headache.

That night, she didn't sleep well again. She thought about many things. In addition to thinking about the boy she fell in love with at first sight, she also thought about her future life and how to pay back the money quickly.

She wanted to show him a better appearance so that the gap between them would not be so big.

The next day, He Xiyan got up early.

Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away.

She guessed that her uncle and aunt should have returned to their hometown, and she would definitely see her uncle and aunt at her grandmother's house.

She had to ask her uncle and aunt to pay back the money, whether they were willing to pay or not, she would ask.

After breakfast, He Xiyan set off. She didn't bring anything with her, only a small schoolbag with her mobile phone, wallet, etc.

Her grandmother's house is in the countryside, more than 30 kilometers away from the city.

Although it is in the countryside, the living conditions here are not worse than those in the city. Many families live in small houses built by themselves and have bought cars.

As soon as He Xiyan got off the minibus, she saw her uncle's house, a three-story villa that looked very grand. A black car was parked in front of the villa.

Heh... He remembered that his uncle used to drive a white Volkswagen. Did he change to a new car this year?

He Xiyan quickly walked towards the grand house. When she arrived at the door, she found that the door of the hall was open. She could vaguely hear someone talking in the house, as if her grandmother and aunt were chatting.

"Mom, she shouldn't come this year, right?" The person asking the question was her aunt He Min.

"I don't know, that child is also very pitiful. If you have money, pay her back tens of thousands of yuan." Then her grandmother's somewhat old voice came out.

"Where do we have the money? You know, Lu Liang invested a lot of money in his business this year, and we also helped to cover a lot of it. We also owed tens of thousands when we renovated the house, and we just paid it back a few days ago."

"Then she comes to you every year to ask for money, what should we do?"

"Don't worry about her. If she comes, I'll say I have no money."

...

He Xiyan felt cold in her heart when she heard what her aunt and grandmother said.

Thinking about how her mother had been so devoted to them, she felt hateful.

She didn't call anyone, but walked directly into the hall.
