"Yaoyao, say a few less words!" Chen Jinlong finally stood up, pulled his daughter’s arm, then turned to his wife, just about to calm her down.
Zhou Hui stared at Chen Yao with an exceptionally resolute voice: "I won’t treat this illness! Anyway, living is just suffering! Rest assured, I won’t drag any of you down!"
"Mom!" Zhang Yan couldn’t listen any longer and stepped forward to grab her mother’s hand.
Her voice was choked yet unusually clear: "I will take care of you, and I’ll find a way to pay for the targeted dicine."
Zhou Hui seed to be stabbed, "Mom won’t treat it! Can’t you understand? I have only a few years left to live! Why waste this money!"
Zhang Yan wiped her tears, unprecedentedly stubborn: "We must try, otherwise I will regret and bla myself for a lifeti."
Seeing her daughter’s eyes, Zhou Hui stood dumbfounded, tears streaming down her face, for a mont not knowing what to say.
An indescribable guilt and sorrow surged in her heart.
Chen Shuangshuang looked at this "sister" of hers, bit her lip and started crying as well.
Chen Jinlong’s face was full of sha, but eventually he just sighed heavily.
But Chen Yao seed to have found a way out.
She spoke up: "Don’t worry, even if we really need treatnt, Zhang Yan won’t be the only one paying, we will surely make a gesture."
She didn’t want to push too hard, if it really ca to a divorce lawsuit, the property division would be a huge hassle.
The most ideal state now is to cut the responsibility cleanly, letting Zhang Yan, the biological daughter, logically take over the heaviest "burden."
Zhang Yan nodded silently, not wanting to argue with them over these verbal promises.
Chen Yao’s tone returned to her usual calmness, "Dad, I’ll call my brother, let him know what’s going on here. Let’s also discuss how much money is appropriate to spend later."
Chen Jinlong lowered his head, sighed repeatedly, then stood up and walked toward the corner.
Chen Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, quickly ran over and followed him, holding her father’s hand, seemingly pleading for sothing.
Zhou Hui weakly leaned back in the row of chairs, her blurry eyes tightly shut.
Zhang Yan hung her head, her mind full of her mother’s condition and how to raise money.
Her mom needs to be hospitalized next, needs a full check-up, she definitely has to accompany the whole ti, continuing work is impossible.
Anyway, she probably wouldn’t last long at work today, it’s highly likely she’ll be among the first batch of employees "optimized" by the company.
Of course, before that, she must get back every penny of the three-month performance bonus the company owes, and the travel expenses from her last business trip.
Luckily, the annual fee of 150,000 is not, taken out all at once, as long as she can survive the initial stage, there is still hope.
...
Star Cloud International Group, in the bathroom.
Lulu looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed, eyes bright, pinched her thigh hard.
The clear pain ca, repeatedly confirming that this was not a fantasy created out of unwillingness after a failed interview.
A huge, uncontrollable joy instantly flooded her!
Her mood was like winning a five million lottery, no, even more thrilling!
Not only did she successfully enter the dream big company, but she also found a huge backing! This is simply a "twist of fate" that only exists in TV dramas!
To hell with the fat white man! Aunt won’t serve you anymore!
Hahaha!
She took several deep breaths, finally calming her wildly beating heart, then suddenly rembered sothing and imdiately pulled out her phone.
As soon as she unlocked it, an unread ssage popped up.
[Zhang Yan: "Lulu, sorry, I’ve been busy and just saw your ssage. Could I ask you, after work, to take care of Orange for ? I might not be able to go ho tonight. Also, there are a few drafts that might bother you to help with..."]
Seeing this long ssage, Lulu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She imdiately realized that sothing big must have happened to Zhang Yan!
She had so understanding of Zhang Yan’s complex family situation, now her mother is ill.
Now Zhang Yan needs to accompany and take care, and judging from the tone, it might not be a matter of a day or two, could even cost her job.
Given Zhang Yan’s character, if she can say "please" and "could you", it basically ans she really has nowhere to turn to.
She didn’t hesitate, quickly walking outside while directly dialing Zhang Yan’s phone number.
The phone rang for a long ti, until it was automatically hung up by the system, and it didn’t get through.
Lulu was so anxious that sweat appeared on her forehead, and her heart was also clenched.
She originally wanted to share this great joy with her friend at the first mont, and incidentally tell her about Tang Song, who could have imagined?
Just then, the familiar and gentle voice sounded beside her ear again.
"Lulu, finished the interview?"
Lulu quickly raised her head and saw Tang Song appearing in the corridor at so point.
She hurriedly greeted, "Tang... President Tang, yes, the interview just finished."
Noticing the undeniable anxious look on her face, Tang Song asked, surprised: "What’s wrong? Did you encounter any trouble?"
Lulu hesitated for a mont, looking at the man in front of her with a powerful aura yet inexplicably reassuring, thinking of his relationship with Zhang Yan.
She spoke quickly: "It’s... it’s sothing happening with Zhang Yan."
The relaxed smile on Tang Song’s face instantly vanished, his gaze becoming tense, "What kind of trouble?"
...
A flurry of footsteps ca from far and near.
Chen Jinlong and the other three ca back, each with a face complicated and hard to decipher.
