Nanxi immediately picked up the phone without a second thought.
“Cousin!” She called out, her voice anxious.
Liang Qiaoqiao did not respond immediately, prompting Nanxi to continue, “Cousin, please don’t panic, I’m trying to raise the money.
I won’t let you go to jail, don’t worry, I promise I will raise the funds….”
“Nanxi!” Liang Qiaoqiao called out her name, her voice so soft it made Nanxi’s nose sting.
Liang Qiaoqiao continued, “Nanxi, forget it.
The money is not a small amount, even with the help of Zhang Mu and Bai Yuchuan, we might not be able to raise enough…
I’m sorry, Nanxi, I really shouldn’t have called you about this!”
Liang Qiaoqiao’s voice choked slightly.
Nanxi was already in tears.
She responded, “Cousin, don’t say that, we are family!”
“Nanxi, precisely because we are a family, I do not want to burden you further…
This situation is my fault.
I drove under the influence and hit someone, that’s a fact…”
Liang Qiaoqiao paused, then continued, “So I plan on…
turning myself in!
Don’t worry, the sentence will be at most a year or so.
I’ll be fine.
But, Nanxi, I need you to take care of Uncle and Grandma.”
“No!” Nanxi quickly interrupted Liang Qiaoqiao’s words, her heart aching terribly, “Cousin, of course I will take care of grandma and uncle, but I can’t do it by myself.
You can’t be harmed.
Just give me a little more time, just a little.
Cousin, please don’t do anything silly, please…”
“Cousin, when my parents disappeared six years ago, I lost my family overnight.
At that time, I felt like the whole world was against me.
But later on, I found family again.
Over these years, uncle, grandma, and you, cousin, you all have been by my side, taken care of me, accompanied me, and provided me with the warmest support.
Now, you all are everything to me.
Therefore, I won’t let anything happen to any of you…”
Nanxi tightened her grip on her phone, took a deep breath, “So, Cousin, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too, okay?
Don’t put me in the helpless situation I was in six years ago, don’t let me feel powerless again…
Cousin, I beg you, give me a chance…”
Liang Qiaoqiao fell silent.
Nanxi heard sobbing coming from the other end of the line.
The tears welled up in her eyes…
After a long time, Liang Qiaoqiao finally spoke, her voice was very soft.
She said, “…okay!”
…
On her journey back to the university, Nanxi phoned Yang Su and was informed that everyone was doing their best to raise funds, and some had already been collected:
Bai Yuchuan and Zhang Mu had both gone home to borrow money, the outcome was uncertain.
Lan Qiqi and Yang Su had contacted their parents and were awaiting a response…
Nanxi was grateful, but she also knew that this was a large sum of money.
Yang Su and the others, being students in a foreign city far from their families, had no obligation to lend her this money.
It was purely out of goodwill, and Nanxi would forever remember their kindness.
That night, Bai Yuchuan, Zhang Mu, and Yan Chenqing all arrived at H University to meet up with Nanxi and the others.
After totaling the money they had managed to gather, they learned that it was less than a quarter of the total amount needed.
Clearly, it was a drop in the bucket…
“Damn!
My father refused to give me the money because he thought I was up to no good.
It took me forever to scrape together just these few dollars.”
Zhang Mu kicked a tree in frustration, while Yang Su frowned, “Zhang Mu, what the hell is wrong with you!”
If it weren’t for her injuries, she would have kicked Zhang Mu herself.
Zhang Mu looked at Nanxi’s expressions and wanted to say something else but eventually chose to close his mouth.
Nanxi lowered her head, not knowing what to say next.
Zhang Mu was blunt, but Bai Yuchuan and the others must be feeling the same way.
Nanxi felt like she had caused a lot of trouble for everyone.
Lan Qiqi, trying to comfort her, said, “Nanxi, don’t dwell on this too much.
The main issue is that Zhang Mu usually behaves recklessly, which is why his parents do not trust him.
As for Susu and me, we live too far away, so it’s not convenient to transfer large amounts of money in a short timeframe…”
Nanxi nodded and forced out a bitter smile to Lan Qiqi, “Thank you, Lanlan, I understand!”
…
Before going to bed, Nanxi called Liang Qiaoqiao.
Not knowing the specific situation on Liang Qiaoqiao’s end, but from her somber tone, she could tell that her cousin was down.
Nanxi felt melancholy.
She tried to comfort her cousin, urging her to hang in there, which Liang Qiaoqiao agreed to.
She spent the night sleeplessly, ending up with a weary look on her face when she looked in the mirror the next morning.
Her phone rang just when she had returned from the bathroom after freshening up — Yang Su and Lan Qiqi were still on the phone with their families, with Yang Su on the balcony and Lan Qiqi downstairs…
Her friends, her sisters, were all helping her, helping Liang Qiaoqiao!
Seeing this, Nanxi felt grateful, but more than that, she was deeply moved!
She didn’t recognize the number that was calling, and when she answered, a pleasant female voice on the other end said, “Gu Nanxi?”
Nanxi paused, finding the voice familiar, but she couldn’t remember who it belonged to, “May I ask who this is…”
“I’m Li Muyun, Li Weihuan’s second sister…”
