Chapter 202 -202 Wen Nianyou’s Defenses Are Broken

Wen Nianyou looked Meng Li up and down, then suddenly realized something. She quickly stepped back two meters, her face showing undisguised disgust: “You got it on yourself? Meng Li, how disgusting can you be! Covered in crap, and you come looking for me?”

“No, no, it’s not like that, I’ve changed my clothes already, I just haven’t taken a shower yet, I…”

Wen Nianyou, unable to bear it, interrupted her: “If you haven’t taken a shower, then hurry up and go shower. Why come here to disgust me!”

She turned to leave, but Meng Li immediately stepped forward and grabbed her.

Wen Nianyou almost screamed as she shook off Meng Li’s hand: “Meng Li, you dare to touch me? You’re so filthy!”

“Youyou, I really had no other choice but to come to you, can you take me in for just one night? Just one! The landlord of the place I rent suddenly sold the house, and now I have nowhere to stay, please, let me stay for one night!”

Wen Nianyou covered her nose and mouth, backing away continuously: “Get away from me! Stay away! You think with that stench you can stay in my villa? Don’t even think about it!”

Meng Li refused to leave, advancing step by step: “I’ll take a shower and I won’t stink anymore, right? Youyou, over the years, I’ve done many things for you. I’m at the end of my rope, won’t you help me at all?”

“What do you mean at the end of your rope? I see it as purely coming to make me sick! Lin Chuyi did this to you, go settle the score with her. What are you doing looking for me?”

“Why would Lin Chuyi want to harm me? Don’t you know why? Who was it that made me put laxatives in her drink? Who instructed me to change her college entrance exam preferences? And all those other things, do you want me to list them one by one?”

Wen Nianyou’s face changed: “You better stop spouting nonsense. Those were all your doings, they have nothing to do with me!”

“Fine, if you won’t admit it.”

Meng Li didn’t dare to say too much, she knew better than anyone how ruthless Wen Nianyou could be. Crossing her could lead to a lot of trouble.

She shifted back to a more humble tone: “Youyou, if you don’t want me staying at your place, could you lend me some money to tide me over? I’ll stay in a hotel, and once I’ve earned some money, I will pay you back very soon.”

As soon as Wen Nianyou heard Meng Li ask to borrow money, she became furious, fuming: “I don’t have money! Money, money, money, you all come to me for money, were you all reincarnated as beggars? Do you think I’m a money printer? Right now, I have nothing but my life left, if you want money, come and take it! Come on!”

Meng Li was shocked by her enraged and screaming demeanor, not understanding what was going on. Why did she suddenly break down like this? Asking for a loan was like poking her lung, she was almost jumping up to curse.

Wasn’t Wen Nianyou the one who always liked to show off her wealth in the past? Treating people to meals without batting an eye no matter how much it cost.

Of course, Meng Li knew nothing of Wen Nianyou’s current predicament; if she did, she would never dare to bring up borrowing money.

The reason for Wen Nianyou’s towering rage was that she was being extorted by a mysterious person again and again.

Just yesterday, she had transferred ten million to this person, and today, he was demanding another twenty million! Moreover, she had only three days to come up with the money, or he would expose her fake heiress status!

If it were just that, it might be bearable—twenty million, she could come up with that amount by gritting her teeth; after all, Lady Wen had given her sixty million to start a business and open a company.

But Qi Yunfan was also pressing her to come up with fifty million to compensate for the losses at Golden Sand Beach!

Where would she get so much money?

She had already invested twenty million into the company. The medical industry requires high initial investment costs, and that twenty million vanished without a trace.

She had given five hundred thousand and then one million to the mysterious person, and had also bought herself a limited edition Hermès mini “little house” bag for one and a half million, as well as a bunch of new clothes and shoes.

From the original sixty million, there was just over twenty million left, but the shortfall was a staggering seventy million!

Meng Li coming to borrow money at this critical juncture was akin to poking a hole in her lung.

Unfortunately, Meng Li knew none of this. She only thought that Wen Nianyou was very wealthy since she had recently flaunted many of the latest luxury summer items, each showcased in photos on her social media.
