Cloud City, early winter.
In the early winter morning, the sky was a little grey. Ye Qingyin was wearing a thin black windbreaker. The wind blowing against her face made her shiver all over.
Twenty minutes ago, her self-esteem and pride were all trampled under her feet and shattered into pieces.
"Shen Heng, I..."
"Qingyi, I've already broken up with you. I'm now Song Man's boyfriend. Our private meeting will cause misunderstandings." Shen Heng frowned, and there was a hint of blame in his tone.
Ye Qingyin's heart was filled with sadness. She tugged at her clothes with almost undetectable fingers, but her voice was still calm. "I know that I'm not here to reunite with you. I just want to..."
"No matter what the reason is, I'm sorry, I can't help you." Shen Heng interrupted her directly. There was an obvious embarrassment in his expression. He turned to the servant and said, "Send Miss Ye out."
Ye Qingyin bit her lip. Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, she subconsciously stood in front of him. "Shen Heng, I..."
The reproach in Shen Heng's eyes became more and more obvious. "Qingyin, you've never been a persistent person."
Looking at the worried look on his face, Ye Qingyin sneered after a while. "Shen Heng, do you think I'm here to make up with you? You think too much. I'm just here to borrow money from you."
"Sorry, I can't help you." Shen Heng refused her request without hesitation.
"I've been with you for three years. You know how much benefit the Shen family has gained by relying on our Ye Family. You should know how to repay kindness. I don't want you to repay me now, but my father needs 200,000 yuan for the operation. I hope you can lend it to me." Ye Qingyin lowered her eyes and said in a low but clear voice.
When the Ye Family was at its peak, she and Shen Heng were the envy of everyone. Now that the Ye Family was in dire straits, no one could avoid them. If it weren't for the fact that they had no other choice, she wouldn't have come to find him.
Back when their engagement was still there, Shen Heng had been walking with Song Man behind her back. He had been the one who had let her down.
"I'm sorry, Qingge. I can't help you." Shen Heng shook his head and seemed to be persuading her. "If you continue to pester me, I can only ask someone to invite you out. We are all adults. There are some things that we shouldn't do."
Ye Qingyin took a deep breath and looked at his indifferent face. In the end, all her emotions turned into a sneer on the corner of her mouth. "I'm here today to humiliate myself."

Coming out of the Shen family's villa, Ye Qingyin walked forward with a heavy heart. She reached out to take a taxi, but the phone in her pocket vibrated at this moment. She took it out and picked it up. "Uncle Zhou, how is dad?"
"Miss, it's still the same." Uncle Zhou's voice sounded a little cautious. "Is your money enough? The hospital said that if you can't pay for the medicine before noon tomorrow, the old master's medicine will stop."
Ye Qingyin's face turned pale. In the cold wind, her face was a little pale. After a long time, she reluctantly said, "Dad's medicine must not stop. You tell the hospital that I will make up for the cost of the medicine before noon tomorrow."
200,000 medical expenses was nothing to the Ye Family a month ago. But now, she didn't have enough money to pay 20,000 yuan for everything she had.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingyin stood on the side of the road. The cold wind blew from all sides and easily penetrated her clothes. She couldn't help feeling cold all over.
"Miss Ye, with your looks, as long as you are willing to put down your pride, it will be very easy for you to earn 200,000 yuan."
The words echoed in her mind all of a sudden. Ye Qingyin's face became paler and paler, and the knuckles of her hand, which was holding the phone, turned white. After the Ye Family's decline, they came to pay their debt. When she was in a desperate situation, someone gave her advice.
At that time, she felt that it was a great shame. But at this moment, she suddenly remembered that nothing could happen to her father. She had to save his life no matter what.
