“Jiang Chen, it’s enough that you’re here, no need to buy so much stuff.”

Seeing Jiang Chen enter with his arms full, Xue Mingqin quickly came forward to greet him and took the bags from his hands, not forgetting to scold her daughter.

“Rui Rui, you too, he’s not an outsider, there’s no need to waste like this.”

Before entering, the two had a thorough conversation, so they both appeared nonchalant about such comments.

“Mom, it’s just some nutritional supplements, they didn’t cost much.”

“Yeah, they didn’t cost much.”

Jiang Chen agreed.

“But with your dad like this, he can’t eat them anyway.”

“You can eat them, though.”

Li Shuru said.

“You child.”

Xue Mingqin shook her head and looked at Jiang Chen, “Don’t do this next time.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.

“Mom, Jiang Chen and I came over today to take you to look at some houses.”

“Look at houses?”

Xue Mingqin was startled.

Li Shuru looked at her father on the hospital bed, “Dad doesn’t know how long it will take for him to recover, you can’t keep sleeping in the hallway, can you?”

Xue Mingqin felt a bit embarrassed; such conversations between mother and daughter were fine in private, but Jiang Chen was also present.

“Auntie, Shu Rui and I want to rent a place for you nearby, we came today to take you to see it.”

Jiang Chen interjected timely.

“Rent in East Sea is so expensive, it’s not worth wasting the money, I’m quite alright here.”

Xue Mingqin forced a smile.

Li Shuru glanced at Jiang Chen.

Her mother wasn’t always so frugal, but now that her father was seriously ill and the astronomical medical bills were still unclear, her mother naturally became extra careful with every penny in such a critical time.

“Auntie, no matter how expensive the rent is, it’s not as important as your health.

If you wear yourself out, what will Uncle do?

Please listen to me on this matter, I’ve already picked out a few places, you just need to come with us and take a look.”

Jiang Chen displayed the right amount of assertiveness.

“Mom, don’t stand on ceremony, Jiang Chen has been looking at houses these days, you can’t let his efforts go to waste, right?”

Caught between the two, Xue Mingqin had no choice but to nod.

“Okay, but you guys can pick the house, just make sure it’s small.

It’s only me living there, I don’t need a large place.”

Li Shuru neither agreed nor disagreed and asked, “Mom, Uncle has called me, he said you’re selling the house.”

Xue Mingqin’s face changed, “Didn’t I tell him not to tell you?”

“Mom, Uncle meant well.

If you sell the house, where will you live afterward?

Will you rent again?”

“You child, there will always be a way.”

Xue Mingqin said urgently, while sneakily glancing at Jiang Chen, clearly because she didn’t want to reveal their family’s predicament in front of an outsider.

“Auntie, are you selling the house because of Uncle’s surgery fees?”

Who knew Jiang Chen, like a young fool, would just blurt out the sensitive matter.

Even though she was distraught, Xue Mingqin still had her pride, especially as an elder.

“Jiang Chen, this is our family’s personal affair, it’s none of your business.”

“Auntie, I didn’t mean to offend.

What I’m saying is, if the issue is really the surgery costs, there’s no need to sell the house at all.”

Xue Mingqin frowned, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Jiang Chen pulled out a bank card.

“Auntie, Uncle is ill, and there’s not much I can do to help.

There are two million in this card, please consider it a small token of my concern,” Jiang Chen said.

With that manner and presence, it was hard to believe he wasn’t a wealthy heir.

An ordinary person would hardly doubt it.

Xue Mingqin was inevitably stunned, staring at the card for a long while, with her eyes trembling intensely.

Her daughter had told her that this young man’s parents were no longer alive.

Consequently, she subconsciously thought his family must be in financial difficulty.

She had never imagined he could casually offer a whopping two million!

Xue Mingqin’s mind went blank for a moment.

She didn’t know what to say and looked involuntarily toward Li Shuru.

Li Shuru nodded at her.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t tempted.

After all, accepting this money would mean there was no need to sell the house, hence no risk of homelessness, yet Xue Mingqin eventually resisted the temptation.

“Jiang Chen, no, I can’t take this money.

You and Rui Rui are just dating.

If I accept it, what will others think of our family, of Rui Rui?” Xue Mingqin kept shaking her head.

“No, I absolutely cannot accept it.”

Facing such a vast sum, not everyone has the willpower to refuse, especially in a nearly desperate situation.

Jiang Chen now somewhat understood why Li Shuru had asked him to help with the money.

“Auntie, please don’t feel any pressure.

This money is just a loan.

Once Uncle gets better, you can return it to me.

This sum is just a number in my account.

Why not use it where it’s needed?” he said.

“Mom, Jiang Chen has already said it.

Just accept it,” Li Shuru added.

“Auntie, if you really don’t want to accept the money and feel you must sell the house, then maybe consider this,” Jiang Chen proposed.

“Why not sell your house to me?

Since it’s going to be sold anyway.

What do you think?” Jiang Chen suggested.

Xue Mingqin was taken aback.

“Jiang Chen, this…”

“You also find it problematic, right?”

Eye to eye, Xue Mingqin gave a wry smile.

Under their perfectly coordinated persuasions, she was clearly being swayed.

“Doing this… fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

How could I feel right about it?” she said.

“You don’t need to be polite with me,” Jiang Chen replied.

He gave Li Shuru a meaningful look.

“We’re family,” he said with depth.

Watching the two young people, Xue Mingqin fell silent.

Li Shuru was also silent.

In the end, Xue Mingqin eventually accepted the card.

Seeing how Xue Mingqin looked, it was obvious she had something to discuss with Li Shuru.

Jiang Chen, understanding as always, offered to find a doctor and took the initiative to leave the ward.

“Exactly what kind of family does Jiang Chen come from?

How can he have so much money?” Xue Mingqin couldn’t help but ask as soon as the door was nearly shut.

“Weren’t both his parents gone?”

“His parents are gone, but they left him a substantial inheritance,” Li Shuru improvised, not entirely clear on Jiang Chen’s circumstances herself, but had to come up with a story before her mother.

“Inheritance?”

Though surprised, the explanation was plausible, and Xue Mingqin quickly accepted it.

Picking up the card, she then asked, “Did you ask him for this money?”

“No,” Li Shuru said decisively.

“He offered it on his own initiative.”

“Really?” Xue Mingqin scrutinized her daughter.

Li Shuru met her gaze calmly and openly, “Mom, if he weren’t willing, do you think I could force him to give up so much money?

We’re talking about two million here.

To put it bluntly, I, your daughter, am probably not worth that much.”

“Nonsense, my daughter is priceless!”

Distracted by the remark, Xue Mingqin’s focus shifted, and she mused, “But to think that he would be willing to spend so much for you in such a short time of being together.

It’s your good fortune to meet someone like Jiang Chen, you mustn’t let him down.”

Li Shuru, who could only maintain silence, suddenly felt like she was selling herself for money, and yet her parents were still grateful to the buyer.
