Not only did Old Wang borrow money from Huang's parents, but other neighbors in the same community also came to borrow.
The day after the meeting between both sets of parents, Huang Xingxing and Lu Chen went to work as usual. Huang's mother arranged to go shopping with Lu's mother, while Huang's father invited Lu's father to the house for tea. Before they even finished their first cup, the second money-borrowing visitor arrived—Old Gu.
Everyone knew that Huang's father had savings.
His parents were both working professionals, he and his wife were the same, and with just one daughter who had been working for several years already, apart from hiring a nanny in the early years, their lifestyle was far from extravagant, with barely any significant expenses.
Naturally, Huang's father was unwilling to lend money, so he repeated to Old Gu the same reasons he had given Old Wang.
