Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

1803 How Can We Believe You?

“How many complaints have you received this month? Do you think you can excuse yourself by saying that you’re careless? Are your apologies of any use? If you continue to be like this, I won’t be able to keep you!”

“I’m sorry!” the waitress immediately whispered.

Su Bei and Yue Ze were too embarrassed to stay any longer in witnessing other people’s embarrassment, so they turned around and walked out in another direction.

“Brother Yue Ze, don’t you think that the waitress looks a little familiar?” Su Bei remembered that this waitress was the one who had accidentally dirtied her sleeve previously.

Yue Ze thought for a moment and said, “She used to be an artist in our company. You might not remember her.”

“No wonder she looks a little familiar.” Su Bei nodded. “However, even if our company’s artistes terminate their contracts, why would they come to a restaurant to be waiters?”

She found it really strange.

Yue Ze shook his head and smiled. “When you were overseas, this artiste was terminated because of drug abuse. However, I’m not too sure what happened. After all, she was an artiste signed by President Lu.”

In that case, Su Bei did not think too much about it.

She and Yue Ze chatted as they went to the parking lot.

Just as she was about to get into the car, a figure rushed over.

Yue Ze quickly walked over and protected Su Bei.

Only then did the two of them see that the person kneeling on the ground was the waitress from before.

Yue Ze could not help but be a little angry. “Zhang Xinran, what are you doing?”

The waitress’ name was Zhang Xinran. Seeing that Yue Ze recognized her, she couldn’t help but cry and say, “President Su, Brother Yue, can you lend me some money? My mother is sick. She’s really sick. I’ve been trying to raise money recently, but I haven’t been able to raise enough. Please help me.”

Yue Ze gave Su Bei a look, indicating that people who smoked drugs loved to lie the most. There was not a single word of truth in their mouths. What they said could not be trusted at all. It would be best if they did not believe a word.

Su Bei did not say anything and waited to see what would happen.

Seeing that they obviously didn’t believe her, Zhang Xinran hurriedly said, “I’m not taking drugs. I’m really not. I was framed previously. President Su, Brother Yue, please help me!”

Yue Ze said calmly, “Is what you said true? How can we believe you?”

“This is my mother’s hospitalization bill.” Zhang Xinran quickly took it out and held it with both hands. “I’ll work hard to pay you back in the future!”

Yue Ze took it and looked at it. “How much do you want to borrow?”

“500,000.”

Yue Ze sneered imperceptibly. “I need to investigate whether your mother is sick or not first. If she’s really sick, I can lend you the money, but I’ll transfer it directly to the hospital’s account, not to you.”

Zhang Xinran immediately nodded. “Sure! As long as you’re willing to lend it to me, I’ll definitely return it to you in the future.”

“See you here tomorrow, then,” Yue Ze said, letting Su Bei get in the car first.

Zhang Xinran was a little disappointed, but she still believed him and said, “Then I’ll wait for you here tomorrow.”

Yue Ze drove away, leaving Zhang Xinran behind.

“Do you really believe her?” Su Bei asked.

“It’s hard to say. If she’s really taking drugs, there’s no need to believe her. I won’t even show her any sympathy,” Yue Ze said.

However, he still got someone to check if Madam Zhang was sick and hospitalized.

Su Bei smiled. Yue Ze was indeed kind.

Even if he didn’t believe her, he would still find out the truth and not jump to conclusions.

“Aren’t you still busy with Ji Rufeng’s upcoming work? There’s also the management of the entire company. Leave this matter to me,” Su Bei said.

Yue Ze thought that this was just a small matter and Su Bei would have no difficulty handling it, so he did not refuse.

Soon, Su Bei received news that Mrs. Zhang was indeed hospitalized and seriously ill. Zhang Xinran was working hard to earn money, but she had yet to gather enough.

Zhang Xinran always made mistakes when she worked in the restaurant. It was probably because she was distracted.

She also learned that after Zhang Xinran’s contract with Nirvana Entertainment was terminated, she never signed with another company. It was probably because they heard of her drug abuse, so no one dared to hire her.

However, her resume was quite strange. Logically speaking, if she was really taking drugs, such a beautiful woman could easily rely on her body to earn money.

Even if she was unwilling, someone was pushing her down that path and she would have no choice.

However, according to the information Su Bei received, she was a part-time worker in a restaurant. Other times, she ran errands and delivered food. It could be said that she was working hard.

With such doubts, Su Bei took some money and directly transferred it to the hospital to pay for Madam Zhang’s fees.

The next day, she went to see Zhang Xinran on behalf of Yue Ze.

Zhang Xinran had already received a call from the hospital saying that there was an extra sum of money in her mother’s account.

As soon as she saw Su Bei, she choked and said, “Thank you, Mr. Su. I’ve already received the hospital’s notice.”

“Then how are you going to pay me back?” Su Bei asked.

“I’ll work part-time and try my best to gather the funds,” Zhang Xinran quickly said.

Su Bei found a place to sit down. “Did you go to a film academy?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you taking drugs, then?” Su Bei asked directly.

Zhang Xinran shook her head. “I’ve never taken drugs! Really, Mr. Su! Please believe me! I had no idea what was going on when I was suddenly taken into custody for 15 days. After I came out, my contract was terminated and I ended up in this situation.”

She twisted her hands cautiously, her face full of grievance and embarrassment.

Su Bei said, “I don’t know if I should believe you.”

“I can go to the hospital for a check-up! In order to prove my innocence, I can do anything! President Su, I’ve wanted to ask you for help for a long time. Since you could help Ji Rufeng prove his innocence, you can definitely help me too, right?”

Zhang Xinran asked hopefully.

Then she took a few steps back in shame.

After all, Ji Rufeng was an A-lister. It was just a matter of whether he could stabilize it.

As for her, she was just an ordinary newcomer. She was not very outstanding in the film academy either. After joining Nirvana Entertainment, she had only played a small role. She had no fans or fame. She had never brought any benefits to the company.

How could she compare Ji Rufeng to herself?

She lowered her head cautiously.

Su Bei thought for a moment and said, “Then does anyone around you take drugs?”

“No, not at all. My mother raised me alone. I grew up in a single-parent family, and I just happened to get into a film academy. I didn’t stand out much even after studying at university for a few years. My intentions were very simple. I wanted to film and earn some money so that my mother and I could live a good life.”
