Chapter: 2

"I think he's just borrowing money, and deliberately trying to ruin Grandma's birthday party. It's true!"

Leaf Chen saw the entire Xiu family targeting himself, insulting him, and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

If it weren't for wanting to pay off the medical expenses for his savior, he would have already left this place. However, thinking about what his father had taught him from a young age - to repay kindness with gratitude - he suppressed the humiliation in his heart and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, saving one person's life is better than building seven levels of pagodas, I beg you to show mercy."

Someone snickered loudly and scolded, "Leafy, stop bothering Grandma like this! You want to save someone? Figure it out yourself and let Grandma help you with her money. What are you even good for?" This was spoken by Xiao Hailong, Xiao's brother.

Xiao initially had a lot of opinions about their cousin, Xiao Churan, who excelled in all aspects. So they loved to seize opportunities to mock Leafy. On the side, Xiao's expression was awkward and he said: "Grandma, Leafy is only 8 years old when his father passed away. The welfare institution's Li Auntie took care of him. He wants to repay kindness with a grateful heart, so please help him..."

Mrs. Xiao scowled and said: "Let me help him? Sure thing! As long as you divorce him and marry Zhang Gongzi, then I'll give him 1 million yuan!" The person she was talking about, Zhang Gongzi, is Zhang Wentian, who has been pursuing Xiao Churan's affections. The Zhang family in Jinling is a prestigious clan, much more influential than the Xiao family. Mrs. Xiao had always wanted to curry favor with them.

Just then, the butler rushed in and announced loudly: "Zhang Gongzi sent someone with a birthday gift! A piece of Buddha's pendant carved from jade, worth 3 million yuan!" Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed, exclaimed excitedly: "Quick, bring it here, let me take a look!"

The butler quickly brought a jade-green jades plaque to the front, and everyone in the room exclaimed in amazement.

This jade-green jades plaque was crystal-clear and flawless, with no impurities whatsoever. It was clear that it was of high quality.

Wang Yunfei, who had received the Jade Buddha, saw this jade-green jades plaque and looked taken aback. He hadn't expected Zhang Wen Hao to be so generous, considering they were unrelated.

Madam Xio welcomed the jade-green jades plaque with great joy, exclaiming: "Ah, Zhang's boy is indeed a kind-hearted person! If he could marry my granddaughter, I'd laugh all the way to dreamland!"

Having said that, she looked at Xiao Junren and asked: "What do you think? Will you consider my conditions?"

Xiao Junren shook his head: "Grandma, I won't divorce Lao Chen."

Madam Xio's expression turned dark instantly. She was furious and scolded: "Don't even look at me! Don't let this useless person cling to me! Get this useless person out of here! My banquet doesn't allow this useless person to attend!"

Lao Chen was utterly disappointed with the Xiao family, and since he had nowhere else to go, he turned to Xiao Junren and said: "Junren, I'll go visit Aunt Li at the hospital."

Xiao Junren quickly replied: "I'll come with you."

Just then, Madam Xio scolded again: "If you're leaving too, then forget about having my grandchild! Take your parents and this useless person and get out of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Churan's expression froze in shock, unable to believe that Old Mrs. Xiao would say something so harsh.

Leaf Chen hurriedly said, "You stay behind, don't worry about me."

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xiao Churan to come back to his senses before turning around and walking out.

Xiao Haifeng laughed haughtily from behind him, saying, "Hey, my good brother-in-law, you're going hungry with an empty stomach? Won't you go begging on the streets? That would ruin our Xiao family's reputation! I still have a piece of money; why don't you buy a steamed bun to eat?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a coin and dropped it at Leaf Chen's feet.

The entire Xiao household erupted in laughter.

Leaf Chen gritted his teeth and walked out without looking back...

He rushed to the hospital and immediately went to the cashier's office to communicate with the hospital about the medical expenses, which would be delayed for two more days. JrNovels.com
