"Mom, don't worry, don't listen to their nonsense. I'm going to borrow from my friends, and I'll call them in a moment. I can still borrow this amount of money," Xu Miaotong assured her mother.
She then glanced coldly at her sharp-tongued aunt. If it hadn't been for the consideration that the aunt was an elder, she would have berated her already.
"Really? That's not a small amount. Don't end up making things unpleasant!" Ju Hong felt slightly relieved to hear her daughter could borrow the money, but still she was somewhat anxious.
"Don't worry, a few of my friends are quite well off, they won't mind this amount. I've just always been too embarrassed to ask them, but you can rest easy, Mom!" Miaotong said.
