Where It All Began

Ning Xi's expression instantly changed. "So, something really did happen at home?"

When Tang Nuo saw that he could not hide it anymore, he clenched his fists and bit his tongue in an attempt to stop the words from pouring out, but because he was worried that Ning Xi would think that he thought her as an outsider, he started to stutter, "Something d-did happen at home... You know our father is easily persuaded. Some time ago, he met someone at the construction site and was tricked into lending a huge amount of money... B-but... Now we can't get it back…"

"How much did he lend?" Ning Xi frowned to ask.

"P-probably... All of his savings... Even the money you sent back home previously. About $ 600,000 in total... We were planning to buy a house in town... But now, we don't even have enough for my school fees... Grandma has fallen sick from being so angry earlier... All the medical fees are on loan. " The more he spoke, the worse he looked.
