Chapter 979: The radiance of human nature

Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao standing there in a daze, the hospital cashier asked, "Are you still paying? If you don't pay, we might have to ask you to discharge the two patients."

Old Mrs. Xiao immediately took out other bank cards, chose one, handed it to the other party, and said, "Try this one!"

The cashier nodded, took it, and swiped it. After Old Mrs. Xiao entered the password, he shook his head and said, "This one is also frozen."

"Then try this one!"

Old Mrs. Xiao handed over all her cards one after another, but the result for every single card was that it was frozen!

This left Old Mrs. Xiao feeling completely devastated!

Just when she was at a loss, a call came in. She hurriedly answered, only to hear the other party say, "Hello, Madam. I am calling to notify you that all your real estate, including your companies, villas, vehicles, and antique calligraphy and paintings, have been seized by our court. Please repay Mr. Wu Donghai's investment funds as soon as possible; otherwise, all your assets will enter the auction process!"

Old Mrs. Xiao cried, "You... you are trying to force me to death!"

The other party maintained an official attitude, saying, "I'm sorry, we are also acting according to regulations. The debt amount claimed by your creditor far exceeds your assets, so if you don't repay the debt in time, we will sue you!"

Old Mrs. Xiao choked, "Your son and grandson are in the hospital now; you should at least let me pay the hospital fees, right?"

"I'm sorry, you are currently a negative asset holder, and if you have money, you need to repay Mr. Wu Donghai first."

"You're talking nonsense!" Old Mrs. Xiao roared in fury, "How is this any different from drinking human blood?!"

"I'm sorry, repaying debts is a matter of course."

Old Mrs. Xiao roared, "Heaven your mother, go to hell! Bullying an old lady like me, you won't die a good death!"

With that, Old Mrs. Xiao immediately hung up the phone in anger.

On the side, the cashier said awkwardly, "Old lady, are you paying or not? If you're not paying, please move aside, because the people behind you still need to pay."

Old Mrs. Xiao said with a dark face, "Not paying! We can't even afford to eat, why would I pay?!"

With that, she immediately used her phone to call Wu Donghai.

Although she didn't know what Wu Donghai's situation was, she still held onto the attitude of trying it out and dialed his number.

Unexpectedly, the call was answered quickly.

After Wu Donghai answered the phone, he asked in a bad tone, "Old woman, what do you want?"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said fawningly, "Oh, Mr. Wu, it's like this. Mr. Wu, why did I hear that you suddenly want to withdraw your capital? Didn't we agree to long-term cooperation? How can you suddenly withdraw your capital? What should I do? Could there be some misunderstanding in this?"

Wu Donghai said coldly, "There is no misunderstanding. I have completely lost faith in your family, so I don't expect you to do anything for me anymore. Since that's the case, why wait to withdraw the capital?"

Old Mrs. Xiao immediately begged pitifully, "Mr. Wu! Is it because of what my son and grandson did today that you are dissatisfied? If they didn't do well enough, just tell me, and I will definitely make them correct it next time. Please give our family another chance!"

Wu Donghai said impatiently, "I gave you chances, but the key is that you are not up to the task! So don't come begging me again."

Old Mrs. Xiao was in despair, suddenly thinking of the villa, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wu, regarding the villa, we signed an agreement back then. You agreed to lend it to us to live in for 10 years. You can't go back on this! Otherwise, our family will have to sleep on the streets!"

Wu Donghai sneered, "The villa can be lent to you for a while longer, but you must make it clear to your son: if he dares to divorce Qian Hongyan, I will immediately kick your whole family out!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said indignantly, "Mr. Wu, you don't need us to deal with Ye Chen anymore, so why do you insist on making my son stay with that dirty woman Qian Hongyan? You also know that what a man hates most is being cuckolded by his own woman. As long as Qian Hongyan is still here, my son will never be able to get over this hurdle..."

Wu Donghai said with disdain, "Whether your son can get over this hurdle has nothing to do with me. I am determined to protect Qian Hongyan. If you don't want to, you can move out of Tang Chen Yi Pin directly and leave the villa for Qian Hongyan to live in."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao immediately realized that she couldn't say anything more. If she continued to talk to Wu Donghai, it was very likely that she wouldn't even be able to keep the right to live in the villa.

Old Mrs. Xiao had experienced the taste of sleeping on the streets, so she never wanted to live that bitter life again.

She couldn't help but think to herself, "As long as I can keep the right to live in the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa, even if my son has a green hat on his head forever, I can accept it. I'm so old, I don't have many years left to live, and I don't want to suffer that kind of hardship in the remaining years!"

So, she could only grit her teeth and agree, saying, "Mr. Wu, don't worry! I will definitely keep Qian Hongyan in the Xiao family!"

Wu Donghai snorted, "You're sensible! Don't call me to bother me again in the future."

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wu, don't hang up yet, I have one more thing I want to ask for your help..."

"Speak."

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "My son and grandson are both seriously injured and have no money for treatment. Could you please lend us a few hundred thousand to save them?"

"Lend you a few hundred thousand?" Wu Donghai said with disdain, "Don't forget, your Xiao Group still owes me tens of millions. At a time like this, you still have the nerve to ask me to borrow money. How thick is your skin?"

Old Mrs. Xiao cried, "But my son and grandson can't just drag on like this..."

Wu Donghai said, "I heard they are no longer in danger, and the plaster casts are on. You can take them home to recuperate slowly."

Old Mrs. Xiao choked, "But neither of them can take care of themselves now, and hiring a caregiver costs a lot of money..."

Wu Donghai smiled and said, "For this, you don't have to worry. I will tell the hospital that you don't need to pay for their treatment fees, and you can take them back at any time. In addition, I have arranged three helpers for you. Just wait, these three people will help you well."

At this moment, Old Mrs. Xiao felt a glimmer of human nature in Wu Donghai, thinking, "No matter what, Mr. Wu can still leave the villa for us to live in and arrange three helpers to come over, which is not bad. Maybe he was really angry this time, which is why he decided to withdraw his capital. Perhaps when he is in a better mood in the future, he will reinvest in the Xiao family!"

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said gratefully, "Then thank you so much!" ===== CHAPTER 980 =====
