Chapter 732 Raising a Daughter is to Collect a Debt
Jiang Yuan entered the room and glanced around, her gaze landing on Xia's mother and father.

"Hello." She took off her sunglasses, raised an eyebrow, and smiled. "Is this Xia Lu's house?"

Xia's father nodded, and was interrupted by Xia's mother as soon as he said "yes," "No, you've come to the wrong place."

“How could that be?” Jiang Yuan said with a half-smile. “The two of you look so much like Xia Lu, you must be her biological parents.”

“No,” Xia’s mother retorted, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Jiang Yuan gestured behind her, and Fu Xiaoxiao and Xu Shiling walked in, both wearing sunglasses. Fu Xiaoxiao's expression was extremely arrogant, looking like she was not to be trifled with.

Xia's mother stared at them, her brows furrowed, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart. "Who are you people?"

“We’re here to find Xia Lu,” Jiang Yuan said calmly. “You’ll know once you call her out.”

“We don’t have anyone named Xia Lu here.” Xia’s mother said sternly, urging them to leave. “You’ve come to the wrong place, get out of here.”

Fu Xiaoxiao walked right past her, sat down on the single sofa next to Xia's father, crossed her legs, and said, "Call Xia Lu out. I have a score to settle with her."

"What do you mean?" Xia's father asked anxiously.

Xia's mother said urgently, "I've told you you've come to the wrong place, why won't you listen? Get out of our house right now."

Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at her through her sunglasses, "Stop pretending. You and Xia Lu are like two peas in a pod. You must be her mother."

Xia's mother: "..."

They're not her biological children, so how could they possibly look alike?
Jiang Yuan and Xu Shiling also found a seat and sat down, leaning back lazily with their legs crossed, looking completely relaxed.

Seeing this, Xia's mother was both anxious and angry. "No, what exactly do you mean by this?"

Jiang Yuan said coldly, "Call Xia Lu out."

"No..." Xia's mother said two words, and then saw Xia Lu coming downstairs.

Her expression changed instantly.

Xia Lu's face showed a look of astonishment, "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, she turned around and was about to go back upstairs.

"Stop!" Fu Xiaoxiao shouted immediately.

Xia Lu paused, her body stiffening.

"Xia Lu, running away won't solve anything," Jiang Yuan said slowly. "Come over here and let's get this straight."

Xia's mother looked at her anxiously, cursing inwardly: What on earth has this brat gotten into?

A few seconds later, Xia Lu turned around and looked at the other side, her eyes filled with unease, and slowly walked down.

She pursed her lips and said softly, "If you have something to say, go outside and talk. Don't disturb my family."

“No way.” Fu Xiaoxiao raised her chin and said arrogantly, “Since you don’t have the money, then let your parents help you solve it.”

Upon hearing that it was about money, Xia's mother immediately became anxious, "We don't have any money either, how can we solve this?"

Xia's father frowned, a worried look on his face. "Lulu, what happened?"

Xia Lu opened her mouth, seemingly finding it difficult to speak. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said softly, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I can definitely handle it."

Fu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "If you could handle it, would you need to hide in Shuncheng?"

"I'll figure something out." Xia Lu walked up to Fu Xiaoxiao, her tone pleading. "Sisters, can we talk outside? I don't want my parents to worry." Fu Xiaoxiao took off her sunglasses and looked at her, a malicious smile playing on her lips. "No way. This is the price you pay for not replying to my messages and running off to Shuncheng to try and renege on your debt."

Xia Lu was almost in tears, "Please don't do this..."

"Stop talking, no means no." Jiang Yuan's voice was cold, her eyes indifferent. "Who manages the money in your family? We only talk to the person who manages the money."

"We have no money!" Xia's mother looked at Xia Lu anxiously. "Lulu, what's going on?"

"Yes, Lulu, what did they say about you defaulting on your debt?" Xia's father asked seriously.

Xia Lu pouted, lowered her head, and choked out, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I accidentally fell off my electric scooter on my way to work and scraped against these ladies' cars. They're making me pay for it..."

Upon hearing this, Xia's father frowned and asked, "Lulu, is it entirely your fault?"

Xia Lu nodded. "Yes, it's entirely my fault. Their car was parked on the side of the road."

Upon hearing this, Xia's father remained silent.

Xia's mother looked grave, her heart filled with anxiety.

Fu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Our car was parked there perfectly fine and got hit, it's not unreasonable to ask for compensation, is it?"

"How much compensation do you want?" Xia's father asked.

Fu Xiaoxiao said, "One hundred thousand."

Xia's mother's eyes widened instantly, and she said incredulously, "One hundred thousand? Are you robbing me?"

"My car is a Ferrari, is it too much to pay 100,000?" Fu Xiaoxiao said with a contemptuous look, showing the arrogance of a young lady to the fullest. "This is still a discounted price. The repair cost was originally 150,000, but I saw that you are a young girl and it is not easy for you to work outside, so I gave you a discount of 50,000. But you still won't pay. If I call the traffic police directly, you will be guilty of hit-and-run."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Xia Lu apologized hastily. "I didn't expect the repair cost to be so high. I really can't afford 100,000 yuan."

“It’s okay.” Fu Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you can’t come up with the money, then let your parents do it.”

Upon hearing this, Xia's mother's face darkened, and she said angrily, "We can't do anything about it; our family can't afford that much money."

Xia's father pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

Jiang Yuan scoffed, "Is it that you don't have money, or that you don't want to lose money?"

Fu Xiaoxiao reminded her quietly, "If you don't pay compensation, Xia Lu will be put on the blacklist, unable to take high-speed trains and planes, and may even go to jail."

"I don't want to go to jail." Xia Lu seemed quite frightened. She turned to look at her parents. "Dad, Mom, please help me. I don't want to go to jail, and I don't want to be put on the blacklist."

Xia's mother was burning with anger and said irritably, "Don't you know how to watch where you're going when you're riding your electric bike? Are your eyes useless?"

She still needs to save money to buy a house for her son, how could she possibly take out 100,000 yuan to pay off her debts?
"Mom, I was watching where I was going," Xia Lu explained softly, sounding aggrieved. "It's just that a kitten suddenly rushed out and scared me..."

"Is that all the courage you have?" Xia's mother became angrier the more she thought about it.

The daughter raised by Old Zhang's family came to repay a debt of gratitude; at a young age, she earned hundreds of thousands of yuan to help her brothers back home.

The daughter she raised came to collect a debt; the contrast is infuriating!
"I didn't mean to." Xia Lu's eyes were red, and she lowered her head.

Xu Shiling knew that her current grievances and sadness were an act, but she still couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.

She was glad she was wearing sunglasses so that no one would notice her embarrassment.

"What's the use of saying all this now?" Xia's mother's tone was accusatory. "They've already come to our house and are demanding 100,000 yuan in compensation from you. If you have the money, then pay them. You know our family's financial situation. Let alone 100,000, we can't even come up with 10,000."
