“Then I’ll say I can’t cure this illness and bring your mother home. I’ll see if she’ll contribute this money!” Old Man Lu said angrily.
“But what if she really sues us?” First Uncle said, worried.
Second Uncle hurriedly added, “Yes, she was a top law student back then and had even been a lawyer. Moreover, backing her now…. That big figure is probably there. If they really sue us, we probably won’t be able to win the lawsuit.”
Old Man Lu rubbed his chin. His expression was ugly as he said, “Then you three sum up the remaining three quarters of the medical bill.”
“You want us to cover the expenses?” Third Aunt hastily asked.
“What else? Wait for that brat to sue us?” Old Man Lu glared angrily at his daughter. “If you don’t contribute to these medical expenses, don’t think you can get a single penny from the coming expropriation compensation!”
Third Aunt did not make a sound anymore. Although she was a daughter who had already married off, the family said before that they would give her a small sum from the expropriation compensation.
Now the whole family had their hopes pinned on this expropriation compensation!
If Ling Yiran really started a lawsuit, then maybe Ling Yiran could have a piece of this expropriation compensation pie too.
The large family all looked at each other. Finally, they could only come to the decision to pool the money from the three families.
…
Ling Yiran returned to her grandmother’s ward. Her grandmother had already fallen asleep, so Ling Yiran sat by the hospital bed and silently watched her grandmother’s sleeping face.
Back then, the person who always protected her was her grandmother, but now she had gotten old and needed Ling Yiran’s protection.
Gu Lichen had clearly spotted Ling Yiran too. His eyes lit up slightly. Then, he walked over and said, “What a coincidence.”
“It is a little coincidental,” she said before going around him to leave.
However, in the next moment, he reached out a hand to stop her. “Speaking of which, last time I treated you to a meal, I made you encounter some unpleasant things. How’s this… I’ll treat you to another meal today. Take it as an apology for the matter last time.”
Ling Yiran knew that Gu Lichen was talking about how she had met his ex-girlfriend, Zhong Rongrong, when they ate together last time.
Speaking of which, she used to see news about Zhong Rongrong often on media online, but in recent times, there had been absolutely no news about Zhong Rongrong online. It was like there was no such person in showbiz.
“What happened to that ex-girlfriend of yours?” Ling Yiran could not help asking, but she regretted it after the words left her mouth. This was not something she should be asking.
