Jiang Chuan explained slightly: "My acquaintance with your father hasn't been long, back then, he was running a barbecue stall."
"Oh, I see! So it was those annoying guys!"
Upon hearing this, Du Zihan showed a look of obvious disgust on her face.
She stopped, pointed her finger at Jiang Chuan's nose, and scolded disdainfully: "I wonder why you people are so shaless? Because you got to know my father during his hard tis, you just co around repeatedly to borrow money. Co on, have so self-respect, will you!"
Jiang Chuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, vaguely guessing that Du Zihan might have misunderstood him once again.
It seed that when Du Chuan was down and out, those friends he had t took advantage of his newfound success to flock to him and borrow money.
"Tell , how much do you want to borrow? Is two hundred enough?"
Du Zihan took out two hundred yuan from her wallet and tossed it at Jiang Chuan's feet, saying contemptuously: "Pick it up quickly and leave, opening your mouth to earn two hundred bucks, how nice!"
Despite Du Zihan's rude tone, Jiang Chuan didn't mind much.
First, Du Zihan was Du Chuan's daughter. Jiang Chuan and Du Chuan had a close friendship, so his daughter was like a junior to him.
Secondly, it was evident that Du Zihan misunderstood him, and she had probably been harassed a lot by those people recently.
Hence, Jiang Chuan didn't mind and calmly explained: "I'm not here to borrow money. I really have sothing to discuss with Du Chuan."
"Discuss sothing? What could you possibly have to discuss? Is your stall facing cash flow issues, or are you out of money for inventory? What, do you think these two hundred are too little?"
Du Zihan looked full of disdain, not believing a word.
Jiang Chuan didn't bother to explain further. He said to Du Zihan: "Your father should be back soon. I'll just wait for him at your house, and you'll see whether I'm telling the truth."
Although Du Zihan didn't want Jiang Chuan to co into the house, her father had just instructed her, so she couldn't disobey.
"Fine, co in then! Make sure to take off your shoes! This is imported flooring, be careful not to damage it!"
"Those flower arrangents over there, don't touch them; if you break them, you can't afford to pay!"
"I'm telling you, we don't have tea or water at ho, just sit there and wait!"
Du Zihan was very rude to Jiang Chuan, both scolding and warning him.
Jiang Chuan furrowed his brows but still said nothing.
Du Zihan noticed Jiang Chuan's expression and sneered coldly, saying: "What? Dissatisfied? Want to show you respect? Sure! But respect is sothing you earn yourself, not given by others! If you want respect, get out yourself! Why are you shalessly staying here?"
"I really don't know how my dad got to know a scoundrel like you, borrowing money even at our ho."
"Oh, borrowing money isn't accurate; it should be called demanding money. You people never intend to return it, do you?"
Jiang Chuan felt a bit displeased, thinking that Old Du's daughter seed quite ignorant of the world.
He couldn't help but retort: "Your na is Du Zihan, right? Isn't your statent too absolute? Are all Old Du's friends like this? I highly doubt it."
"Doubt it? Hmph, nine out of ten are like this!"
Du Zihan snorted with dissatisfaction: "My dad's friends, especially those he t during his difficult tis, what else do they co for other than borrowing money? They're all trash!"
"Of course, there are exceptions. There is a Mr. Jiang, oh, also surnad Jiang, just like you, but he's a world apart in character!"
"This Mr. Jiang is truly a hero! During my father's hard tis, it was his support that helped my father make a coback. My father often tells never to forget Mr. Jiang's kindness."
"Mr. Jiang can be considered my family's benefactor. By the way, why am I even telling you this? Compared to that Mr. Jiang, he is like the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars, and you are like a crawler on the ground."
Jiang Chuan listened with great interest and suddenly asked Du Zihan: "Have you ever t that Mr. Jiang?"
