Chapter 216 Besides crying, what else can you do?
The man in black took the bracelet, walked up to Su Yingqing, and forcibly put it on her wrist.
"This is a GPS tracking bracelet. Don't even think about running away," the manager said calmly. "No matter where you go, we can find you."
Su Yingqing looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, a wave of despair washing over her.
She knew she had nowhere to run.
"Zhang Daqiang...you bastard!" she cursed through gritted teeth in her heart. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
The image of Zhang Daqiang's greedy face flashed through her mind, and she wished she could find him immediately and kill him with her own hands.
However, the bracelet on her wrist was like an invisible handcuff, reminding her of the harsh reality.
"I can't escape, and I can't get away..." she muttered to herself, her voice filled with helplessness and anger.
Stepping out of the hotel, Su Yingqing immediately took out her phone and began scrolling through her contacts.
She dialed the first number, her voice urgent: "Hello, it's me, Su Yingqing. I urgently need six million, can you lend it to me?"
An awkward laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Yingqing, six million is no small sum, and I'm a bit short on cash lately..."
Su Yingqing gritted her teeth, hung up the phone, and dialed the next number.
"Six million? Yingqing, are you in some kind of trouble? I can give you five hundred thousand, but I really can't afford six million..."
"I'm sorry, I recently had some investment failures, so I really can't help you."
"Yingqing, you know I can only buy you a few bags at most. Six million... that's too outrageous."
After making more than a dozen phone calls, Su Yingqing felt increasingly disheartened.
She finally realized that none of the men who had once showered her with sweet words were willing to do so much for her.
"Ha, as expected... men are all unreliable." She smiled bitterly, tears streaming down her face.
"I have no choice but to go to my mother..." Su Yingqing wiped away her tears and made up her mind.
She knew that there was an unclear relationship between Chen Yuqin and Zhang Daqiang.
Chen Yuqin also has a responsibility to bear this debt.
She hailed a taxi, got into the back seat, and said in a hoarse voice, "To Vanke City Garden."
The car slowly started moving. Su Yingqing leaned against the window, watching the scenery rushing past outside, her heart filled with anxiety and unease.
"Mom, you have to help me..." she prayed silently in her heart, "Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
Her hand unconsciously touched the tracking bracelet on her wrist, as if it were a time bomb that could push her into the abyss at any moment.
As the car drove towards home, Su Yingqing felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
She knew that every step she took from here on out would determine her fate.
The scene kept replaying in her mind: the man in black's knife, the manager's cold smile, the suffocating bracelet on her wrist...
It all felt like a nightmare, yet it was so real that she couldn't escape it.
"Mom, you must stay home..." she murmured softly, her fingers gripping the bag strap tightly until her knuckles turned white from the force.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of Vanke City Garden.
Su Yingqing took a deep breath, pushed open the car door, and walked quickly towards her home.
Her heart was pounding, filled with anxiety and unease, as if every step she took was on a knife's edge.
The tracking bracelet on her wrist was like an invisible shackle, constantly reminding her of the threat posed by that huge debt.
Just as she reached the door, a servant blocked her way: "Miss, the master has instructed that you cannot go in."
Su Yingqing frowned, her tone icy: "Get out of the way! This is my home, I can come in whenever I want!"
The maid bowed her head, her voice respectful but firm: "Miss, the master said that if you were to return, you must inform him first..."
"Notify him? Ha, I'm his daughter, not his prisoner!" Su Yingqing was furious.
She shoved the maid aside and forced her way inside.
Her high heels made a rapid sound on the floor, as if venting her inner anger.
"Mom! Mom, where are you?" she called out as she hurried toward Chen Yuqin's bedroom.
Pushing open the door, the room was empty, the bed was neatly made, and it was clear that no one had lived there for a long time.
Su Yingqing's heart sank. She turned and rushed to the garden and living room, searching everywhere for her mother.
"Chen Yuqin! Come out here!" Her voice grew louder and louder, and she gradually lost control of her emotions.
A maid cautiously approached: "Miss, Madam is in the annex..."
"The annex? How could she be in the annex?" Su Yingqing's eyes widened, her tone filled with disbelief.
The maid lowered her head, not daring to say more: "It was arranged by the master..."
Su Yingqing's anger was instantly ignited. She turned and rushed towards the annex building, her steps hurried and heavy.
Before she even reached the door, she heard a low sobbing sound, as if it were coming from the annex building.
"Crying again! What else can you do besides cry?" she thought angrily to herself, her disappointment and resentment towards her mother reaching its peak.
"Mom, open the door! It's me, Yingqing!" She knocked on the door hard.
Seeing that there was no movement inside the room, she kicked open the door of the annex.
The door slammed heavily against the wall with a loud "bang".
Chen Yuqin was startled and looked up, her face still streaked with tears.
"Yingqing? Why are you back at this time?" Her voice trembled, and her face showed a hint of surprise.
Su Yingqing looked coldly at her mother, her tone laced with sarcasm: "Why am I here? Do you wish I would never come back?"
She walked up to Chen Yuqin, crossed her arms over her chest, and looked as cold as ice.
"What else can you do besides cry?" Her voice was full of sarcasm. "I came back to ask for your help, not to watch you cry!"
Chen Yuqin sat on the edge of the bed, her face pale from the pain in her waist, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Yingqing, my back injury has flared up again, and I really can't help you..." Her voice was weak, filled with deep helplessness.
Su Yingqing sneered, her tone sharp: "No way? You always say there's no way! I have no one to rely on in the Su family, even you don't care about me, who else can I count on?"
A bitter feeling welled up in her heart.
She suddenly realized her place in the family—she wasn't the Su family's biological daughter at all, but just an outsider.
Chen Yuqin stood up, walked quickly to her daughter, and looked her up and down: "Are you alright? Zhang Daqiang... he didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Su Yingqing's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained indifferent: "What could possibly happen to me? As for you, what can you do besides cry?"
Chen Yuqin lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Yingqing, Mom is so sorry... but Mom really can't do anything..."
