It's Complicated

As Xiao Jianying continued talking to Xiao Luo over the phone, it became harder for her to control her emotions, and she suddenly broke down. She recounted to him what had been happening of late. Whenever she received a call from Ding Zhenyun, he would ask her for money to make an investment. It started with a sum of 100 thousand, and later it came down to 30 thousand. It had come to a point where she was now afraid of receiving any calls from Ding Zhenyun.

Aunt Jianying's family wasn't wealthy, and even the house loan they made a few years ago had not been entirely paid off. They simply didn't have the money for Ding Zhenyun to make an investment.
