Chapter 311 Gao's Mother Asks for Money
Before we knew it, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
When Gao Cheng's parents and brother were not around, the four of them had a pretty good chat.
Just when Jiang Duoduo checked the time on her phone and hinted to Zheng Jingsi that he could withdraw.
The door of Gao Xing's room opened.
Gao's mother came out holding the empty bowl in her hand.
She saw Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi stand up from the sofa, and it seemed that they were about to leave.
Gao's mother quickly pulled her eldest son Gao Cheng aside and asked him to borrow some money from these two rich friends so that his younger brother Gao Xing could buy the house first.
"Mom, do you know how expensive houses are in downtown W? A small house of 70 square meters costs over a million yuan. You want me to borrow over a million yuan from Gao Xing? Even if someone is willing to lend it, can Gao Xing afford it?"
Gao Cheng was really speechless. He didn't expect that his mother had already set her sights on borrowing money from Zheng Jingsi and Jiang Duoduo.
Gao's mother secretly glanced towards the living room, and pulled her eldest son Gao Cheng, tears streaming down her face.
"Chengzi! Mom really has no other choice! Our relatives are all broke, and it would be great if each family could lend us a few thousand."
"I just asked Du Hongmin about your two friends in the kitchen. They're the bosses of a hotel, so they're definitely not short of money. We won't lend you the full amount, just ask your brother for a down payment. You can help your brother pay it back later, and that's no problem."
When Gao Cheng heard his mother's wishful thinking, his eyes widened. He really couldn't believe that these selfish words came from the mouth of his thrifty mother.
In the past, he thought that although his mother was partial to his younger brother, she would not be so biased.
Now she actually asked her to borrow money from a good friend she hadn't seen for many years for her younger brother Gao Xing.
And the amount of money borrowed is hundreds of thousands.
Gao Xing can't even support himself now, so the money was definitely lent to him in the hope that he would pay it back.
Gao Cheng felt that his mother really overestimated him.
I am now penniless and unemployed, and I have parents and children to support at home. How can I afford to help my younger brother Gao Xing pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars?
"Mom, forget it. Jingsi and I haven't seen each other for years. Do you think it's appropriate for me to ask someone to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars right away?"
"That's it! My friends are leaving, I'm going to see them off."
This was the first time Gao Cheng rejected his mother so firmly.
"Chengzi, you can't just ignore your brother like this! Your father and I are old, and whether your brother can get married really depends on you!"
When Gao's mother heard her eldest son Gao Cheng finish speaking, he went straight to Zheng Jingsi and Jiang Duoduo.
She was reluctant to miss such a great opportunity, so she followed him.
Jiang Duoduo, Zheng Jingsi and Du Hongmin all heard a little bit and felt that this mother was a bit suffocating.
What do you mean by whether the younger son can get married depends on the eldest son? Isn’t this pure moral kidnapping?
Du Minhong also began to waver at this moment.
Her own family was poor, and so was her ex-husband's family. Not only was it poor, but her ex-husband also liked to abuse her after drinking.
Although Gao Chengren was honest and capable, and treated her well, his parents and brother, if they relied on Gao Cheng for everything, even a giant like him would eventually fall.
Du Hongmin doesn't want to get married again and still live a messy life.
"Mom, can you please stop talking? I have friends here! Go back to your room first. We'll think of another way to deal with Gao Xing's problem."
Seeing that Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi were both a little embarrassed, Gao Cheng pushed his mother and asked her to go back to her room first.
"Auntie, we'll go back first. Sorry to bother you today."
Jiang Duoduo and Zheng Jingsi didn't want to make things difficult for Gao Cheng, so they wisely planned to withdraw.
"Gao Cheng, I'm going back with them. Talk to Auntie nicely and don't make her angry."
Du Hongmin also took the opportunity to follow Jiang Duoduo and the others.
Otherwise, after they left, it would be embarrassing for her to stay here alone and watch the mother and son quarrel.
"Xiao Zheng! Wait a minute, Auntie has something to say to you."
"I heard Gao Cheng say you're his best friend. Originally, I shouldn't have asked you this, but Gao Cheng is too shy to ask you for money."
"Our family is really in trouble. Can you lend us Gao Cheng 300,000 yuan? Don't worry, we'll write an IOU, and Gao Cheng will definitely pay you back in the future."
Seeing that her eldest son was determined not to borrow money from these two people, Gao's mother had no choice but to do it herself.
She felt that her family had missed out on Gao Cheng's two wealthy friends and that they really couldn't borrow money to buy a house.
If he can’t buy a house, his youngest son’s marriage will be called off.
Her youngest son is so stubborn that he insists on marrying her.
What Gao's mother hates most is seeing her youngest son suffer any injustice.
"Mom, what are you talking about! When did I ever say I wanted to borrow money from Jingsi?"
"Jingsi, Duoduo, I'd better take you downstairs first! My mom has been a little crazy lately! Just leave her alone."
Gao Cheng was really mad at his mother. How could she completely disregard her own face?
Although Zheng Jingsi and I had a good relationship in Qiansong at that time, so many years have passed after all.
Who would ask someone to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars as soon as they meet? Isn't this a surefire way to ruin the friendship?
"Oh, okay. We'll be leaving first then! Goodbye, Auntie!"
Zheng Jingsi definitely has 300,000 yuan in spare money. If Gao Cheng asked him to borrow it, he would definitely lend it without saying a word.
But now Gao's mother is obviously blackmailing Gao Cheng morally. Why should Gao Cheng be responsible for what happened to his brother Gao Xing?
So Zheng Jingsi pretended that he didn't understand and planned to withdraw Shunzi Gaocheng's proposal.
As soon as Jiang Duoduo saw Gao's mother, she felt that she was very much like Grandma Jiang, and she doted on her youngest son without limits.
She thought she was doing it for the good of her youngest son, but in fact she had ruined him.
Through this episode of daily life, Jiang Duoduo felt that Gao Cheng had a big weakness in his character, which was that he was too easily kidnapped by family affection.
If he doesn't separate himself from his original family, he will probably be dragged down by his younger brother for the rest of his life.
"Hey...why did you leave?"
"Gao Cheng, please send them off. Regarding the loan..."
Jiang Duoduo and the others went out, but Gao's mother was still nagging behind them.
"Jingsi, Duoduo, I'm so sorry for today. Next time we go out to eat, I never thought my mother would be so shameless."
Gao Cheng sent them to the gate of the community with an apologetic look on his face, and then called a taxi for the three of them on his mobile phone.
The house Du Hongmin rented was very close to the hotel where Jiang Duoduo and her husband were staying, so the three of them took one car back.
"Gao Cheng, if you really need money, just tell me. I still have three hundred thousand! But I don't want you to be kidnapped by your parents! Your brother Gao Xing is already an adult. He is not your parents' responsibility, nor is he your responsibility."
Zheng Jingsi said it very tactfully, but also very sincerely.
"Okay, I know."
"Hongmin, please send them off for me!"
"Okay, go back!"
Du Hongmin felt a little depressed. She felt that her relationship with Gao Cheng might not be able to continue.
