At three o'clock in the morning, the emergency phone rang. Liu Xianglian stared at the word "Dad" dancing on the screen, her fingers stiff. The eighteenth missed call, the sound of smashing glass could be heard in the background.
"Lian... They want to take off dad's legs... And drag you to pay off the debt..."
The blood all over her body froze instantly.
Five years. She carried dishes and swept toilets in the city, climbed from a waiter to a clothing store manager, and had just saved up enough for a down payment, but her fiancé Zhang Hao's engagement ring was still lying on the bedside table——
"How much do you owe?"
"Eight, eight hundred thousand..."
Xiang Lian's head buzzed. With a monthly salary of eight thousand, she had to go without food or drink for sixteen years to fill this hole.
"Dad, wait for me."
She packed her luggage in three minutes. Zhang Hao was not woken up, and no note was left. She knew that with this departure, the marriage would definitely be ruined.
But she had no choice.
