"Xiaoyu! You're really not giving your second aunt any face at all!" Seeing this, the uncle wanted to voice his agreement, but the words were abruptly swallowed back down. He could only swallow hard and say with a trace of awkwardness, "Uncle, it's really not that I'm being heartless. Our comic company has been facing a lot of public pressure lately. I can't possibly keep an employee who isn't performing well and constantly talks back to her boss, can I? That would affect everyone's work efficiency!" Ruan Shiyu put on a helpless expression, sighed, and said, "I'm sure an uncle who is a businessman understands and gets this point, right?"
Her uncle managed a few dry laughs, nodded hurriedly, and then asked with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Well... Xiaoyu, your salary is so high every month. Um... could you lend me some money? My business ran into some financial trouble recently, and your aunt and I are extremely strapped for cash. Look..."
"Oh, Uncle! Are you actually asking me to borrow money?" Ruan Shiyu couldn't help but laugh with extreme helplessness, then said in apparent disbelief, "Back in the day, Uncle, you were as dashing as they come! Not only were you reputed to be a multi-millionaire, but you were also quite the ladies' man. How on earth did you end up in a state of borrowing money everywhere?"
