After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Creditor at the Door

TL: YYang

The entertainment options for students living in the dorms were limited, especially after 10 PM when the main gate was closed, forcing them to stay in their rooms.

Huang Haibao’s family was well-off, so his parents had bought him an Alienware laptop, claiming it was for his studies.

Fortunately, his parents didn’t know much about laptop models. If they had known it was a gaming laptop, they would never have bought it for him.

Usually at this time, Huang Haibao was either playing games on his Alienware or organizing an internal tea party in dorm 503.

However, due to the matter with the class beauty, coupled with Li Zhanpeng’s recent provocation, he had no interest in anything and was constantly sighing.

“Old Huang, can you shut the fuck up?”

Shen Yuan was trying to get a good night’s sleep, but this damn Old Huang kept sighing. Anyone who didn’t know better would think something had happened to his family.

“Old Third, I can’t sleep. I bet you can’t either. Let’s chat.”

“No! I can sleep just fine!” Shen Yuan couldn’t be bothered with him.

“Old Huang, if you’re not using the computer, let me borrow it to play a couple of rounds of LoL. It’s my promotion series.”

Cao Shunjin walked up to Huang Haibao and said thoughtlessly.

“Get lost!”

Huang Haibao shouted angrily, “I’m fucking heartbroken, and you’re in the mood to play games?”

“Fuck, you’re heartbroken, not me.”

“…”

Shen Yuan’s sleepiness was completely chased away by these two. He sighed and sat up in bed. “Old Huang, what do you want to talk about? Let’s talk.”

Huang Haibao thought for a moment and said meaningfully, “Actually, I don’t have anything specific to talk about, but these past two days, all I can think about is women.”

“Besides games and women, can’t your filthy mind hold anything else?”

Shen Yuan looked down on him a little.

Huang Haibao spat at him. “Stop pretending, Old Third. We’re all the same.”

Cao Shunjin, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up, “To be honest, besides Old Third, neither of us has ever touched a woman. Old Third, tell us, what does it feel like?”

The after-lights-out tea party was always Cao Shunjin’s most anticipated event, especially when it came to studying female anatomy.

He swallowed, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

This question immediately stirred up Old Huang’s emotions as well. He had wanted to argue, but he had only been to places like foot massage parlors, which didn’t count as truly touching a woman.

So he also wanted to hear Shen Yuan’s real experience. What was it like? “Hmm…”

“How should I put it…”

Shen Yuan thought for a moment. It was really hard to describe this kind of thing.

“Let’s put it this way…”

“Old Third, just fucking say it!”

Huang Haibao’s anticipation was at its peak, and he couldn’t help but urge him on.

“Old Third, just say it. It’s just the three of us. We won’t tell anyone.”

Cao Shunjin was itching with curiosity and added.

“Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

“Damn it, you’ll be struck by lightning for this. Believe it or not, Old Cao will sodomize you!”

Old Huang’s emotions were clearly out of control.

“I don’t believe it.”

Shen Yuan had initially thought they were just joking, but he hadn’t expected Cao Shunjin to actually make a move.

“Damn it, Old Cao, are you for real?”

“This is what you get for teasing us, you son of a bitch!”

Of course, sodomy would not happen. Under Shen Yuan’s desperate resistance, Old Cao and Old Huang did not succeed.

After the battle subsided, Huang Haibao was still not satisfied. His eyes gleamed in the darkness. “Hey, Old Cao, didn’t you get a website last time? Send it to me.”

“Sure, but you have to let me use the computer for a whole day tomorrow.”

“Fuck, you son of a bitch are a good businessman!”

That brief chat had ignited Huang Haibao’s restlessness. But as Huang Haibao put on his headphones, his lecherous eyes staring at the fluctuating computer screen in the darkness, dorm 503 finally returned to peace.

Alright, I can finally get a good night’s sleep!

A smile hung on Shen Yuan’s lips as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next day was Friday, and there was a class on “International Business Communication and Negotiation” in the morning.

However, the teacher for this course was a little old man, and his lectures were very boring. Shen Yuan would just end up sleeping in class anyway, so he decided to sleep in. When Cao Shunjin was about to get up for class at 8 AM, he looked up and saw Shen Yuan and Old Huang still curled up in their beds. He cursed them for being lazy and went back to sleep himself.

After getting up, Shen Yuan checked his phone and saw three WeChat messages.

Two were from Fang Minhui.

“Good morning.” “Why didn’t you come to class?”

“Overslept. Helpless.JPG,” Shen Yuan replied.

There was also one from Zhou Wanting. It seemed she had unblocked him.

“Didn’t your family go bankrupt? Where did you get the money?”

Zhou Wanting was still hung up on this matter. Shen Yuan couldn’t be bothered to reply and blocked her in return.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Shen Yuan saw that Huang Haibao and Cao Shunjin were still fast asleep. He didn’t have the heart to wake them up. After all, they had watched Japanese films for so long last night and must have consumed a lot of vital essence.

He was about to go to the cafeteria downstairs to find something to eat, but then he remembered it was Friday and he had no classes in the afternoon, so he decided to go home to eat.

Half an hour later.

Shen Yuan pushed open the door to his home as usual and was about to say hello when he saw a relative sitting on the sofa.

It was his paternal cousin, Shen Yaode.

Shen Yuan had a deep impression of this cousin because he often visited their home during holidays, always bringing large and small bags.

It was said that Old Shen had helped this cousin in the past.

At that time, Shen Yaode had no money but wanted to open a car wash. Old Shen had lent him 300,000 yuan.

Later, Shen Yaode’s car wash did well, and he paid off the loan in two years.

Then, with this car wash, he bought an apartment in Star City and a 5 Series car. His life had changed dramatically.

Later, when Old Shen’s travel agency was on the verge of bankruptcy, he had borrowed 200,000 yuan from Shen Yaode, who had lent it to him at the time.

So Shen Yuan had a good impression of this cousin. At least he was a relative who knew how to repay kindness.

Unlike some other relatives, who were so frequent in their visits when the family was well-off.

Now that they were bankrupt, they all kept their distance, afraid they would be asked for money.

“Little Yuan is back.”

Shen Yaode greeted him kindly.

“Hello, Uncle.” Shen Yuan replied politely.

“Shen Yuan, go to your sister’s bedroom for a while. We need to discuss something with your uncle,” Shen Heping said.

“Okay.”

Shen Yuan didn’t know what secret matter they were discussing that required him to leave, but he had to listen to Old Shen. Shen Yuan walked straight to Shen Xuan’s room.

Just as he was about to enter, he heard his uncle’s earnest words, “Brother, I know you’re having a hard time now, but with the current economic situation, everyone is having a hard time. If I wasn’t having cash flow problems myself, I wouldn’t be asking you for money.”

Shen Yuan subconsciously turned his head and saw Li Hongjuan frowning, her face looking unpleasant.

And Old Shen’s expression didn’t change much. He said with a smile, “Little brother, you have your difficulties, I understand. But give me some more time. I have a batch of goods that will be paid for soon. I’ll pay you back a portion then.”

“Brother, a portion is definitely not enough. My car wash’s cash flow now…”

Shen Yuan finally understood. He had thought it was something else, but it turned out this uncle was here to collect a debt. And from Li Hongjuan’s temper, he had probably been here at least four or five times.

Otherwise, his own mother wouldn’t look so upset.

This Shen Yaode was indeed a bit ungrateful. When Old Shen had lent him that 300,000, it had taken him two years to pay it back, and Old Shen had never rushed him.

Now, it had only been a few months since Old Shen had borrowed from him, and he was already so eager to get the money back.

And Shen Yuan had had a good impression of him.

“Shen Yaode, that’s not how you should behave. Do you remember who lent you three hundred thousand when you had no money to open a car wash?”

Li Hongjuan stood up abruptly and scolded, “Now we’ve only borrowed 200,000 from you, and you’ve come to ask for it back several times. What do you mean by that? Besides, it’s not like we’re not going to pay you back.”

Li Hongjuan’s emotions got the better of her, and she spoke without restraint.

Logically, she shouldn’t have turned on a creditor like this.

But this Shen Yaode had been just an ordinary migrant worker back then. If it weren’t for Old Shen’s kindness, he wouldn’t be where he was today. She was just too angry.

Shen Heping pulled on Li Hongjuan’s arm and soothed her, “Alright, alright, say a few less words. Your cousin has his own difficulties.”

“Whether he has difficulties or not, he knows in his heart!”

Li Hongjuan turned her head and walked into the room, slamming the door with a “bang.”
