Huo Yuhao didn’t care what Wu Peiling thought, as for the Yao Family, only Yao Chengxuan could be considered upright, but who doesn’t have their own selfish motives?
As for Wu Peiling, when there’s no conflict of interest, she’s quite nice, but the selfishness in her bones can’t be hidden.
With Yao Lili, that selfish spirit, stirring up trouble, it’s a wonder if things could be good.
Huo Yuhao put away the IOU written by Yao Chengxuan: "Then it’s nothing, I’ll leave first. If there’s anything, just contact directly. Sister Luo is my benefactor, her matters are my matters, don’t be polite."
After sending off Huo Yuhao, Wu Peiling started complaining in the room: "Huo Yuhao talks nicely, telling us to find him if there’s anything, saying that Luo Qiao’s matters are his, yet borrowing money has to involve an IOU, clearly not trusting us, what kind of person is that?"
Yao Chengxuan didn’t respond to Wu Peiling’s words, counting out two thousand from the ten thousand yuan, and handed it to his eldest son: "Peng Fei, hurry to the hospital to pay the fees, we can’t have anything go wrong again."
Yao Pengfei took the money: "I’ll go right now."
Wang Linlin, who was on the side, said: "Wait."
Then she looked at her father-in-law: "Dad, just pay one thousand first. Firstly, I’m afraid the hospital will see a lot of money on the account and do unnecessary tests without concern. Secondly, I’m worried that relatives might see we’re generous with paynts and later ask for more."
Yao Chengxuan nodded at his daughter-in-law’s words: "You’re right. Just pay one thousand first, and we’ll see after the expert consultation."
Just then, Yao Pengrui, who had been looking for soone outside, returned.
Wu Peiling saw her younger son return: "Peng Rui, you’re finally back. So, did you find the person? Did you get the money back?"
Yao Chengxuan looked angrily at his wife: "Can’t you let him have a drink of water first, let him warm up before he speaks."
Turning his head, he looked at his elder daughter-in-law: "Linlin, go and make a bowl of noodles for Peng Rui, let him eat sothing hot first."
Wang Linlin nodded: "Alright, I’m on it."
As she walked out, she kept thinking: "The younger brother hasn’t started a family yet, and he still gives a little money to the family. He often buys things for his nephew, and the family hasn’t ntioned separation before; she’s comfortable and hasn’t thought much about it.
But now that the younger brother lost money, if he can’t find that heartless partner, he would still have to follow up on debts for God knows how long. Separation is imperative, but how to bring it up, and who will bring it up?"
Inside, Yao Chengxuan saw his son’s miserable appearance and knew that he hadn’t found the person.
Yao Pengfei poured a glass of water for his brother: "After drinking, tell us the situation now. The family is worried sick."
Yao Pengrui took the water, drank a few sips, and lowered his head: "I didn’t find the person. Their house is locked. I went to their hotown, and people there said they hadn’t seen them return."
Wu Peiling anxiously slapped the table: "It’s truly treacherous. How could you be blind enough to make such friends, isn’t this harming us?"
Yao Chengxuan’s face wasn’t any better; now with no funds circulating on that construction site, they might not be able to complete it on ti. But they couldn’t ignore the injured in the hospital.
Luo Qiao lending ten thousand is really not a small amount, it’s impossible to ask for more.
But now, what should be done?
After slapping the table, Wu Peiling started slapping her younger son: "You speak, what should I say about you, what do we do now?"
Yao Pengrui knew that this ti, he really let his family down, not only making them worry but also bearing the brunt of neighbors pointing and gossiping; it’s normal for everyone to be angry with him.
Not long after, Wang Linlin ca in with a bowl of noodles: "Peng Rui, eat first, whatever matters, talk about it later."
Taking the noodles: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Wang Linlin was thinking about how to bring up the separation issue, but she heard voices from outside in the courtyard: "Yao Family, has your Shuang Shuang returned?"
Wu Peiling quickly stood up and walked out, and upon seeing her little daughter in the courtyard: "Shuang Shuang, you’re finally back."
Wang Linlin, afraid her mother-in-law might say sothing she shouldn’t in the courtyard, quickly said: "Mom, it’s cold outside, whatever you want to say, say it inside. Don’t let Shuang Shuang catch a cold."
Turning to the aunt standing in the large courtyard with a smile: "Aunt, why don’t you co in and sit for a while?"
That woman could obviously tell it was polite talk; besides, the Yao family’s little daughter just returned, they must have things to talk about, she didn’t want to be an unwelco intruder: "No, I have things at ho too, hurry and greet Shuang Shuang, it’s rare for her to co back."
Wang Linlin went along: "Alright, Aunt, co over when you have ti."
Seeing the person leave, she turned and went back inside. Her mother-in-law was talking with the sister-in-law about Peng Rui’s matters. Seeing this, she turned again and went into the kitchen to continue with the noodles.
******
Huo Yuhao’s subordinates were indeed efficient; news arrived in the evening that the person had run off with the money to Capital City with his sister for a liver transplant surgery.
This explains why Yao Pengrui couldn’t find them; no one would have thought they’d run to a hospital.
