Evening had fallen at the Platinum Sharp No.1 Villa.
Mo Han was in the kitchen, donning an apron, preparing dinner.
Chen Chen had ntioned in the morning that he wanted to eat hairy crabs, so Mo Han had specifically gone to the seafood market, bought more than a dozen big crabs, planning to feast to his heart’s content.
His wife and Luo Shanchuan were sitting on the newly purchased redwood sofa watching TV, enjoying a harmonious atmosphere.
"Dad, Mo Han accompanied you to buy this furniture, right? It feels pretty good, quite high-end."
Luo Ning touched the redwood sofa, feeling quite satisfied, and spontaneously comnted.
"Indeed!"
Luo Shanchuan said with joy, "This furniture is made from Yellow Rosewood from Qiongzhou Island and is worth over a million. How could it not be comfortable!"
"That expensive?"
Luo Ning replied, and then cautiously asked, "Then how much did Mo Han spend to buy it?"
Ding dong!
Just then, the doorbell rang from outside, and the sound was sowhat urgent, as if soone was continuously pressing it.
Luo Ning frowned and said with displeasure, "What’s going on? Who is it, pressing over and over again?"
With that, she rose from the sofa and went out of the living room to open the front gate.
Creak...
When the courtyard door opened, Old Lady Luo, Luo Yuantu, Luo Xuanran, and Luo Zitong stood outside.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, looking quite disheveled, especially Luo Xuanran.
At this point, Luo Xuanran’s face was swollen and bruised, his hair was ssy like a bird’s nest, and he was limping on one leg, as if he had just been beaten up.
Luo Ning’s delicate brows knit together as she spoke, "Grandma, Uncle? What are you doing here?"
Old Lady Luo didn’t even glance at Luo Ning; she pushed past her and stepped into the living room.
Yang ifeng had just finished posting a video to her friends’ circle to show off and had co out to see what the commotion was about after hearing the doorbell.
As soon as she ca out, she saw Old Lady Luo marching in with an imposing manner.
Yang ifeng imdiately stood in front of the old lady and said angrily, "What are you doing! Why have you co again! Get out!"
"I ca to see Shan Chuan; it’s none of your business! Get out of my way!"
The old lady was frustrated; the 800,000 she had gotten was snatched away before it had even ward in her hand, and her inner turmoil could only be imagined.
Even more so, to vent her anger, she had made a special trip to the police service center to file a complaint, accusing Yu Wei of robbery.
But to her surprise, after the investigation, the police service center stated that there was a debt dispute between the Luo Family and Baihua Bank where Yu Wei worked, and that Yu Wei’s possession was legal, not robbery.
This infuriated Old Lady Luo even more. She then accused Yu Wei of arranging soone to beat up her grandson Luo Xuanran and demanded her detention.
The police checked Luo Xuanran’s injuries and confird that they were minor. Such cases typically involve civil liability, where the parties usually just need to agree on a compensation amount for dical expenses. If they can’t reach an agreent, they should proceed to court.
Expect Yu Wei to pay compensation? Go to court?
Neither option was acceptable to Old Lady Luo. After repeatedly explaining, the police ran out of patience and asked them to leave.
Upon leaving the police service center, Old Lady Luo, Luo Yuantu, and the others all had dejected looks. They stood aimlessly under the sky, unsure of where to go.
They only had about three thousand yuan on them, which wouldn’t last more than a few days.
It was Luo Yuantu who suggested they go to Platinum Sharp No.1 again. After all, Luo Shanchuan shared the Luo Family’s blood, and he definitely wouldn’t leave them to die.
After so thought, the old lady figured they had nowhere else to go, so trying their luck at the second son’s house was worth a shot.
However, she knew Yang ifeng all too well.
This woman bullied the weak and feared the strong. This ti they couldn’t be as ek as last ti—they needed a strong presence.
"You’re here to see Shan Chuan? Who are you trying to fool!"
Yang ifeng sneered, her arms crossed over her chest, "What now, think you sold the furniture too cheap and you want more money?"
"I warn you! Our house is not your ATM! Get out!"
Luo Ning heard this and was taken aback before asking, "Mom, what are you saying? The furniture in our house ca from Grandma’s?"
"It was your grandfather’s!"
Yang ifeng said impassively, "Seven years ago, your grandfather bought a set of redwood furniture, but for so reason, it was left unused."
"Recently, with the bankruptcy of Luo Group, your grandmother and the others, in order to survive, sold your grandfather’s redwood furniture."
"At that ti, your father and I saw it at Yunfang Furniture, where they were only willing to pay 650,000 for it."
"Shan Chuan is kind-hearted, and I felt pity for her, so we paid 800,000 to buy this set of furniture..."
Luo Ning nodded slightly, beginning to understand, but she was a bit puzzled. She had clearly given Mo Han 300,000. How did they co up with 800,000? Could it be that her mother had a change of heart and took 500,000 out of her own purse?
At this mont, the hairy crabs Mo Han had prepared were ready, and their fragrance wafted from the living room all the way to the door, "Ning’er, Chen Chen, Mom and Dad, the hairy crabs are ready, ti for dinner..."
Old Lady Luo sniffed and her stomach growled.
Her favorite dish was hairy crabs, especially after they were stead. Paired with a sauce made of ginger, garlic, sesa oil, and vinegar, then dipped in, it was simply a divine taste.
At lunch, her grandson had insisted on eating KFC, which was too greasy for her liking.
Moreover, in an effort to save money, the Old Lady Luo and her family had walked all the way to Platinum Sharp No.1 from the police station, and they were now extrely hungry.
Now, slling the aroma of the hairy crabs, Old Lady Luo could hardly restrain herself, her mouth watering.
Following behind, Luo Yuantu, Luo Xuanran, and Luo Zitong didn’t look much better; their eyes glistened and they swallowed their saliva, clearly starving as well.
Yang ifeng, observing the expressions of the four, let out a cold chuckle, "Tsk tsk tsk, so you ca here not just to visit but because you slled the hairy crabs outside, huh? What, you want to beg for food at our house?"
"Sure, take a bowl and wait outside. After my family and my dog have eaten, I’ll pour the leftovers out for you!"
