The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 516 - 517: Collapse and Helplessness

Gu Wenjuan soon found out.

Because the Zhuang Family started asking her for the three million.

Gu Wenjuan panicked.

To her, three million was an astronomical figure.

In recent times, in order to fit in with the wealthy lives of He Yong’er and others, the items she had bought were all of the same standard as theirs.

She had also followed their lead in treating everyone to meals at high-end entertainment venues. Plus, she had been cornered by Gu ZhenGuo on the road, forcibly taking one million from her. Now, Gu Wenjuan absolutely couldn’t come up with three million.

Gu Wenjuan conveyed this to them.

But the Zhuang Family members completely ignored her, only saying, "It’s only been barely over twenty days, not even a month yet. Even we couldn’t possibly spend that much money. You, coming from poverty, should be even more frugal, so how could you possibly be unable to produce the money!"

One female relative thought for a moment, but still felt it was too harsh to completely annihilate her. Behind Yu Chen, who was supervising, she secretly said to Gu Wenjuan, "You saw the situation yourself just now; we must take back that three million. However, I also understand you need to spend money. So, keep two hundred thousand for yourself as a token of our brief kinship. After all, when you came back, everyone did give you red envelopes, and it all added up, didn’t it?"

Gu Wenjuan became anxious. "Those red envelopes hardly had any money in them. My money is really almost all gone, I..."

The female relative darkened her face, "What use is telling me this? The Family Head said you’ve always been thrifty. Even if you spent, how much could it be? Keeping so much money is useless too, just hand it over— everyone will be better off."

Gu Wenjuan sobbed bitterly, feeling utterly desperate and helpless.

However, the relatives from the Zhuang Family didn’t want to talk to her anymore. They just waited for Gu Wenjuan to hand over all three million, then clear up their relationship with her for good.

Gu Wenjuan was left feeling completely powerless.

As they had said, Gu Wenjuan was just a poor girl—how could she possibly produce so much money?

But with so many people in front of her, each one staring intently, as if they would watch her die if she didn’t hand over the money.

Gu Wenjuan had never suffered such treatment before and simply couldn’t bear it.

With tears in her eyes, Gu Wenjuan tried to borrow money from a close friend she had made during this time.

By now, the only person who might have three million was He Yong’er.

But He Yong’er was already in detention, and to show her independence, Gu Wenjuan had been avoiding He Yong’er’s friends these past few days.

What Gu Wenjuan hadn’t expected was that now, she realized that all the people she knew were He Yong’er’s sisters.

Gu Wenjuan sat blankly on the sofa, flipping through her contacts, but after trying one by one, there was not a single person willing to lend her money.

Most would just hang up after answering the call. A few, with a softer tone, politely refused, and some even laughed heartily, reveling in her misfortune, saying, "Gu Wenjuan, do you think I’m a fool? Who would dare lend money to a poor country girl like you? The only thing of value you had was the Zhuang Family name, and now that even they don’t want you, what else could you possibly have to repay me?"

Gu Wenjuan’s hands and feet turned cold.
