From the time travel, I became extraordinary
Chapter 526 Huge Debt
With the spiritual mark left on Yuan Xiuhua as a guide, it would be easy for Jiang Yao to meet her from time to time, without any difficulty at all.
He had no other intention in doing this, he just wanted to get more familiar with Yuan Xiuhua so that it would be easier for him to find an opportunity to reveal his true identity in the future.
He just hung around in front of Yuan Xiuhua from time to time, and he really didn't expect that Yuan Xiuhua would have such a big reaction to this.
He is the real Jiang Yao, and the Yuan Xiuhua in front of him is his biological mother.
How could Jiang Yao have any bad thoughts towards her?
"She had plastic surgery to look like this, so that no matter where I go, I can run into her every day!"
"Ask yourself, do you really have no other intentions?"
"It's not illegal to come here to drink tea, but what you have done has seriously disrupted my normal life."
"If you really force me to call the police, you can think about the consequences yourself!"
……
Looking directly at Jiang Yao in front of her, Yuan Xiuhua became angrier and angrier, her fingertips almost pointed at Jiang Yao's nose.
However, before she could finish her words, her cell phone placed on the tea table suddenly started ringing wildly.
Still staring at Jiang Yao, she had no intention of going over to answer the phone.
"Okay, I'm leaving!"
"But before I leave, let me reiterate that I have absolutely no ill will towards you." Looking at his mother's arrogant look in front of him, Jiang Yao hesitated for a while and then he sighed.
He even thought about it in his heart that he should directly reveal that he was his eldest son Jiang Yao.
However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up the idea.
After all, his mother was just an ordinary person. She knew too much about the foreign world, which was simply harmful rather than helpful.
Her face is clearly natural, but she thinks it was the result of plastic surgery.
Judging from her reaction, she had already formed a preconceived notion and believed that she was a knockoff with evil intentions.
In such a situation, even if I revealed my identity, I guess she still wouldn't believe it.
With a look of grievance, Jiang Yao looked at his mother Yuan Xiuhua again, then stood up and left.
Standing straight, Yuan Xiuhua kept staring at him.
It was not until he paid the bill and walked out of the teahouse, completely disappearing from her sight, that Yuan Xiuhua, looking very angry, sat back in her original seat.
"Sister Yuan, your phone has been ringing for a long time." Pointing at the mobile phone on the tea table, Qing's mother greeted with a smile.
"I know." Yuan Xiuhua nodded and picked up the phone in front of her and looked at it: "It's not a domestic number, it's an overseas number. Needless to say, it's either a harassing call or a fraud."
After saying a few words, she put her phone back on the table without caring.
She invested in real estate and never really did any business. She never had any business contacts with overseas parties.
When she saw that the phone number was not from China, she naturally had no intention of calling it back.
"What happened to that young man just now? Did he look like that because of plastic surgery?" The one who spoke at this moment was the unknown middle-aged woman.
It is the nature of those aunties to like gossip.
Just now, when Yuan Xiuhua scolded Jiang Yao, both she and Qing's mother saw it all without missing a single detail.
Naturally, they were extremely curious about the reason behind this.
At this moment, seeing Yuan Xiuhua sit down again, the unknown lady couldn't control her curiosity at all. She opened her mouth tentatively and asked directly.
"This is a long story."
"To be honest, I was just an ordinary peasant woman selling vegetables back then."
"My ex-husband fell from a tree while chopping it down and died. I and my eldest son were left to depend on each other. We lived a very tight life at that time. We couldn't even afford to buy meat when we wanted to."
"But our Xiaoyao is very sensible and capable. Back then, he made a lot of money just by fishing and hunting birds. At that time, he kept asking me to stop selling vegetables, saying that he would support me."
"But not long after, he ran away from the county due to some problems. It was eight years later when he came back."
"Although I don't know what he did outside, he was already very, very rich at that time. Lao Zeng and I can live such a good life now because he left us a lot of money."
"It's a pity that after that trip back, there has been no news about him for the past 17 or 18 years."
"If nothing unexpected happened, he should have passed away long ago."
"That young man just now, with a face that is almost identical to my Xiaoyao's when he was young, has been wandering in front of me. Do you think there is no hidden secret? Is this really a coincidence?"
……
It was a rare occasion for Yuan Xiuhua to talk about the past events in front of outsiders. As she spoke, she couldn't help but began to sigh.
Money can solve 99 percent of the world's problems, and it's true that this worry is real.
But no matter how rich she was, when she thought of her son Jiang Yao, she felt very heavy and it was difficult for her to feel better.
"I see. No wonder you said that person just now had plastic surgery, Sister Yuan."
"If my family was as rich as yours, Sister Yuan, I would definitely suspect that the person had ulterior motives if I encountered something like this."
"Although our Yuan Bo is the deputy mayor of another city, he still has some connections here. Do you want me to say hello and see if he can help and check on the boy just now?"
……
Yuan Xiuhua is worth billions, so naturally, everyone around her is a good person.
After hearing what she said, Qing Ma and the unknown aunt followed suit and spoke in agreement.
Qing's mother, whose son is a government official, directly stated that she wanted her son to come forward and inform the acquaintances here about this matter.
"Although that man just now kept hanging around in front of me, as he said, he really didn't do anything serious."
"People nowadays like to report people online with their real names at every turn, which is different from before."
"Your Yuan Bo has just been promoted to deputy mayor. His future is more important. Even if he says hello, it would definitely not be convenient for him to do too much."
"If that kid is really arrested for such a small crime, at most he will be detained for a few days."
"It's just a small matter, and you don't need Yuan Bo to do you a favor. That's totally unnecessary."
……
Without any hesitation, Yuan Xiuhua directly declined.
It is true that she did not receive many years of education, but with such a wealth, she has already mastered many things after living in the county for so many years.
She and Qing Ma do have a very good relationship, but even so, if she wants Qing Ma's son Yuan Bo to come out and say hello, she will still have to do a favor.
Since ancient times, debts of favor have been the hardest to repay.
She owes Yuan Bo a favor. If one day, he needs political achievements and asks her to go there and invest money, can she refuse?
Seeing her like this, Qing Ma and the unknown aunt looked at each other, but did not mention the matter again.
After they chatted for a while, Yuan Xiuhua's cell phone on the tea table vibrated a few times, and then a crisp message alert sound came from it.
Yuan Xiuhua picked up her phone and took a look. She saw that it was a message from her youngest son Zeng Lin on Fetion. She frowned slightly and quickly opened the message. "Mom, I'm in the casino of the Dajing Hotel in Las Vegas."
"I've had bad luck these past two days. I've lost a lot and owed someone 200 million. Now I'm being held in the casino."
"If I don't pay back the money, they will turn me into cement piles for sea reclamation."
"I'm your precious son, Mom. If you don't want to see me get into trouble, hurry up and give me the money!"
……
There is no other information on Fetion, just a video.
After opening the video and looking at her youngest son Zeng Lin with a bruised face and nose, and listening to what he kept saying, Yuan Xiuhua's face turned pale with anger.
In other words, the phone still needs to be connected to the other side, otherwise, she would just want to smash the phone in her hand to pieces.
Gritting her teeth, she was about to send a message back to Zeng Lin's Feixin when the crisp ringtone of the phone in her hand rang again.
I looked at the phone number and it was the same overseas number that had called me before, starting with 00853.
If she hadn't seen Zeng Lin's video just now, she would have hung up the phone without saying a word for such a suspected scam phone number. But now, after hesitating for a while, she finally pressed the answer button and connected the call.
"Hello, Ms. Yuan."
"My last name is Zou. I'm from Las Vegas. Most people call me Brother Hua, but you can just call me Ah Hua."
"You should have seen the video of Master Zeng that I sent you just now."
"It is only natural to pay back debts, don't you think?"
"We are a formal casino, doing legal business. Mr. Zeng borrowed 200 million from me, but he has no money to pay it back. I have no choice but to detain him here temporarily."
"I'm calling you because I just want to communicate with you, Ms. Yuan, to see how to handle this matter!"
"Also, I have to kindly remind you that if you pay back the money within half a month, I can make the decision and waive the interest. If you exceed this deadline, you will have to pay 90% of the money back!"
……
The voice coming out of the phone sounded polite.
However, no matter how polite the voice was, it could not conceal the hidden threat in those words.
"Two hundred million? Impossible. How could Zeng Lin owe you so much money?"
"Las Vegas? Majestic Hotel?"
"If he really borrowed so much money from you and lost it in the casino, I will take responsibility for the debt!"
"But how can I be sure that this is not a telephone scam?" Yuan Xiuhua bit her lips until they were almost bleeding, and she responded coldly.
In the early years, news about telephone fraud was widely reported in the country.
After such a long period of news bombardment, even Yuan Xiuhua has developed some awareness of fraud prevention. It is difficult for her to confirm the authenticity of this matter with just a video or a phone call.
"Ms. Yuan, you think too much."
"Here, I have a bunch of IOUs signed by Master Zeng himself."
"If you just want to confirm whether this is true, it's very simple. You can come in person or send someone over. I can show you the IOUs one by one."
On the other end of the phone, the guy who called himself Brother Hua laughed and explained.
In the past, he went to this part of the country to collect debts from a boss on someone else's territory. Not only did he not get the money, but he was also beaten up by the boss. He had personally experienced this.
As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. After suffering such a loss, he naturally became much more cautious in his actions.
Knowing that Zeng Lin's family was entrenched in the small county town and was a large landlord, he would definitely not come over here, but would directly detain the person cleanly and efficiently.
Zeng Lin owed him 200 million yuan. He must have used some tricks to lose so much money. However, everything he did in Las Vegas was reasonable and legal. It was also his own territory. Even if Zeng Lin's family sent someone over, he was on the right side.
After talking on the phone for a while and negotiating a few words with this Ah Hua, Yuan Xiuhua finally hung up the phone.
"Qing Ma, Lao Huang, let's stop here today. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first!" With a very unhappy look on her face, after saying hello to her two companions, Yuan Xiuhua hurried away.

In the Magic City, on the eighteenth floor of a certain building, at the headquarters of Yaoshi Media Company, in the chairman’s office.
Zeng Tiantian, wearing a professional suit, sat in a boss chair. She took the documents on the desk in front of her, opened them, and read through them carefully page by page.
Covered by exquisite makeup, she is already in her forties, but still looks beautiful.
However, after removing her makeup, crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes and there were also some chloasma spots on her face.
She is completely different when she is without makeup and when she is with makeup on. There is nothing she can do about it. She is already at this age. The hydrated and collagen-filled face she had when she was young is long gone.
She knew that her family was rich, and she was also aware that the money came from the gift from her adopted brother Jiang Yao when he left.
Having left home at a young age to work hard in the bustling city, she was not willing to accept this charity, and even more unwilling to stay at home and be a parasite.
If you really do that, not to mention others, even Zeng Tiantian yourself will look down on yourself.
Of course, although she had never thought of taking money from her family, her family had billions of assets, so she would naturally feel more confident in doing anything outside.
After working in the entertainment industry for a few years and stopping being a celebrity, she founded Yaoshi Media.
After working hard for so many years, her wealth must be over 100 million.
But wealth is wealth, and if we really talk about cash deposits, I estimate that she can only take out about 10 or 20 million at most.
Zeng Tiantian hadn't even finished reading the document in her hand when the cell phone in front of her suddenly started ringing wildly.
"Mom, I'm at the company and I'm busy now."
"As I recall, you rarely call me during my working hours."
"You're calling me at this time, is there something?" After looking at the caller ID, Zeng Tiantian answered the call directly.
It is true that Yuan Xiuhua, her stepmother, has always treated her very well, but she is not her biological daughter after all.
Zeng Tiantian always felt there was a gap between her and her, and she could never open up to her completely.
"What? Xiaolin went to the casino and owed a huge debt of 200 million. Now he is being held there."
"Yeah, I know what happened!"
"I'll book a flight right away and head to Las Vegas this afternoon..."
Listening to Yuan Xiuhua's words on the other end of the phone, Zeng Tiantian's whole face changed color in an instant.
Yuan Xiuhua and Zeng Dazhuang were a couple, although they were rich, but they lived in the county town and were just like big landlords, and had never seen the world.
When they go out traveling on weekdays, the couple would just visit various domestic tourist attractions at most and never like to go out.
They might have some connections in the small county town of Taoyuan, but once they got outside, they were completely in the dark and had no idea where to go.
They had to go to the casino to confirm whether Zeng Lin really owed 200 million yuan and was detained in the Dahua Hotel. As they were already so old, they naturally thought of their daughter Zeng Tiantian first.
After finishing her call with Yuan Xiuhua, Zeng Tiantian hung up the phone, got up and walked out of the office. (End of this chapter)
