What should she do?
Unable to secure a loan, the Wen Family could only wait for bankruptcy!
Her parents had been giving orders all their lives, never worked for someone else. If the Wen Family really fell, they would have to rely on jobs to support themselves, but they were already so old. Just the thought of it made Wen Laibao's heart ache unbearably.
Who could tell her what she should do?
At such a time, not even a person to discuss things with was available, which was truly despairing.
After a long while, Wen Laibao moved, taking a set of pajamas and going into the bathroom.
Once she had undressed, Lai Bao looked at her chubby body in the mirror and suddenly felt an urge to cry.
Since childhood, she had always been chubby and never slim.
As a child, her chubbiness was cute, and in kindergarten, she received gifts from boys every day. Even in elementary and middle school, numerous boys liked her, but after high school, no boy ever gave her a gift again.
Except her fiancé, Gu Chen!
Actually, she wasn't ugly, and she wasn't extremely overweight either. But with a height of 170 centimeters, any weight gain made her look very sturdy. In winter, her clothes made her appear bulky and she had a large frame. Although many older people who met her complimented her as having a fortunate appearance, men didn't like that.
Gu Chen wouldn't like it either!
She had tried dieting before, eating many diet pills, but the results were minimal. She hardly lost any weight, only to weaken her body. Even weakened, she was flabby, and her originally rosy cheeks turned pale and even bounced back worse.
She had also tried fasting, which resulted in developing stomach problems and a week's hospitalization. She was scolded terribly by Wen Cheng and Zhao Yufen. Later, her stomach recovered, but she gained even more weight.
After that, Lai Bao never dared to bring up dieting again.
Zishu was right; she and small sizes were never meant to be.
The only consolation was that she had good skin, fair with a rosy glow, resembling a freshly peeled egg, glistening with a healthy sheen.
She had just come out of the bathroom when she heard her phone ringing.
Wang Zishu!
Lai Bao's best friend, who was also a junior in college like her.
"Baby, I've heard about your family, and that Gu Chen is really no good, just a total jerk. After so many years together, he just turned his back on you so easily. I used to have a secret crush on him," said Wang Zishu, chattering away before asking with concern, "What are you planning to do now?"
Warmth spread through Wen Laibao's heart as she responded in confusion, "To be honest, I don't know what to do!"
Wang Zishu's family was just comfortably off and she was still a student; she wouldn't be able to help with this kind of problem, so Lai Bao hadn't contacted her to avoid causing her distress and worry.
Wang Zishu was silent for a moment, then suddenly, with excitement, said, "Baby, you could ask Mu Bai for help! After all, you were his desk mate in elementary school, which sort of counts for something, right? That amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him."
Right, she could ask Mu Bai.
Lai Bao's eyes brightened; the name Mu Bai shone like a star in the endless darkness, giving her a glimpse of hope.
She immediately went to the storeroom, and after rummaging through a pile of books, found her middle school yearbook. Luckily, Zhao Yufen had kept it for her, with all the books neatly arranged by category, so it didn't take much time.
She flipped to the last page where, in youthful handwriting, appeared the name, gender, age, family address, and contact number, all complete. There was also a yellowed photo.
In the photo, the boy's features were incredibly delicate, even prettier than a girl's.
