Chapter: 711

If he followed in his mother's footsteps, refused to give her that eight hundred thousand yuan, his mother's precious belongings might not even be left for him in the future.

So, this eight hundred thousand yuan still needed to be spent!

As long as He Lian sold Li Yuechen's suite of Yutian Yinpin real estate, that eight hundred thousand yuan could be given to Grandma Xiao!

Grandma Xiao didn't know what kind of plan Xiang Jian had been cooking up, so she just didn't have the heart to say anything and simply said, "Jian, I raised you from a young age. As soon as you start scheming something, I know it's about to happen. Don't try to drag things out, or I'll tell you that if you don't give me this money, I'll move into Xiang Kun's house tomorrow and leave my life insurance, jewelry, and antique paintings to him after I'm gone!"

Xiang Jian hurriedly soothed her, saying, "Mom, what are you talking about? I promised you this money, and I definitely will give it to you - either today or at the latest tomorrow. Okay?"

Grandma Xiao sat down on the couch with a huff and said, "Okay, then take out the money!"

Xiang Jian held up his hands, saying, "I don't have it now...... but please be assured that I'll definitely give it to you tomorrow!"

He hadn't even finished speaking when Grandma Xiao let out a miserable cry and wailed, "You're such a heartless thing! You always say 'tomorrow' to me, and I've wasted my time raising you this big!"

Xiang Jian quickly tried to intervene, saying, "Mom, please don't shout. The money is really not with me; it's all being held by Hongyan. She'll take care of this matter for you today, and as soon as she gets back, I'll give it to you - at the latest tomorrow!"

Grandma Xiao stopped crying when she heard this and asked, "It's already getting dark outside. When will Hongyan be back?"

Xiang Jian replied, saying, "She should be coming back anytime now......"

Just then, Xiang Jian took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Hongyan: "Old lady, isn't it almost time for you to come back?"

However, the message went out and there was no response after half a day.

Xiao Changkun furrowed his brow and said to Xiao Lao Tai Tai, "Mom, I'll give Hongyan a call."

He then gave Hongyan a ring and waited for her response.

The phone rang with hands-free mode on, and the system's reminder played through the speaker: "Sorry, the user you're trying to reach has powered off."

Xiao Changkun told Xiao Lao Tai Tai, "Mom, you also heard it, the call didn't go through, probably because her phone is out of battery..."

"Keep calling if it doesn't go through; let's just stop when it does!" Xiao Lao Tai Tai said with a disgruntled tone: "I'll tell you, don't even think about giving me any nonsense today. Give me your phone and I'll make the call!"

Xiao Changkun helplessly let out a sigh, handed his phone over to Xiao Lao Tai Tai, and said, "You go ahead and make the call."

Taking the phone, Xiao Lao Tai Tai dialed Ling Hongyan's number again, but the other side still reminded her that it was out of service.

Xiao Lao Tai Tai wondered, "What's going on? How can a good phone be turned off?"

Xiao Changkun said, "Mom, phones turn off automatically when they're dead, which is quite normal. Moreover, she's outside and charging wouldn't be convenient anyway."

Xiao Lao Tai Tai handed the phone to him, grumbling, "Well, keep calling then, until it goes through!"

Xiao Changkun helplessly sat down in a chair, repeatedly hanging up and dialing.

The phone had been in service for over half an hour, but was still prompting "out of service". JrNovels.com
