Papa Duan was a man of his word. Duan Shao'an lost everything in just one night.
He had promised Bai Xinlan to bring her to order a custom-made ring. But now he had only one hundred dollars in his pocket, and nothing else.
But he believed that Bai Xinlan loved him sincerely. She would not mind him being poor. So, early in the morning, he still went to Sheng Ting University. But this time, he did not drive there.
When Bai Xinlan saw this, she asked, "Why didn't you come by your car?"
"Something went wrong." Duan Shao'an touched his nose and answered.
"Let's go. I have made an appointment with the designer. We should go and get the ring done now."
Duan Shao'an did not say anything and went to the jewelry store with Bai Xinlan. In the past, he would never blink even for a second when he looked at all those jewels. But now, he had no money at all. On the other hand, Bai Xinlan seemed very happy. She was discussing the design with the designer.
It was only when the price was finalized did Duan Shao'an look very uneasy. But Bai Xinlan did not notice the changes in him.
"Miss Bai, how would you like to make the payment? By credit card or by cash?"
Bai Xinlan took the bill and passed it to Duan Shao'an. However, Duan Shao'an did not move.
"What's wrong?"
"Xinlan... Actually, I have no money." Duan Shao'an could not hide it anymore and confessed. When Bai Xinlan heard him, her face changed.
"What are you talking about? You are the young master of Duan Group. Why would you have no money?"
When the designer heard them, he knew that the deal was off. He rolled his eyes and walked away.
Duan Shao'an took a deep breath. He did not want the people to see and laugh at him, so he dragged Bai Xinlan out of the jewelry store quickly. "Xinlan, actually all my things have been confiscated by my father, including my car."
"What do you mean?"
"My family may go bankrupt, because..."
When Bai Xinlan heard the word "bankrupt", she was dumbfounded. "Because of Lu Qianqian?"
"Yes, the Lu family is planning to destroy my family..
." Duan Shao'an admitted.
"You should have told me earlier. If you told me you have no money, then we will not have come here and embarrassed ourselves." Bai Xinlan said angrily. "Do you know how embarrassed I was just now?"
"Xinlan, you told me you love being with me!"
"Come on, why would I be with you if you have no money?" Bai Xinlan shook off her hand and called for a taxi. She did not expect Lu Qianqian to be this ruthless. She came to the school to embarrass her at first, now she even cut off all business of Duan Group. It looked like she had really made up her mind. She was a strong-headed character.
She should avoid her at all costs just to be safe.
Duan Shao'an thought that Bai Xinlan was just angry. So, he took a taxi to the school and waited for her to finish her classes.
But Bai Xinlan did not even care about him. She had a long list of contacts of the rich men in her phone. Why would she waste her time on a punk?
Soon, there were rumors in school.
"I heard news saying that Bai Xinlan's rich boyfriend has gone bankrupt. Did you see that he has been taking a taxi to school recently?"
"What happened? What is it?"
"I heard that it's his ex-fiancée taking revenge on him. Her family caused their bankruptcy. They acted so fast."
