Chapter 981: Penniless again

~7 min read 1,330 words

When Old Mrs. Xiao heard these words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood there in a daze!

She said helplessly and pleadingly, "Two young men, please make a call to Mr. Wu and say that our family is now at the end of our rope. Beg him to have mercy and leave us a way out, at least leave us this Bentley..."

After saying this, she hurriedly added, "Even if it’s just lending it to us for a few years, that would be fine!"

The other party said expressionlessly, "I’m sorry, Mr. Wu said that a family like yours is simply not presentable, so he doesn't want to have any more interest entanglements with you. Letting you live in the villa is already his greatest benevolence. If you still don't know what’s good for you, then I’m sorry, Mr. Wu can take back the villa at any time!"

Old Mrs. Xiao’s heart twitched with pain, but at this moment, she didn't dare to say anything rebellious.

Xiao Weiwei on the side couldn't help but choke, "Please, you two, talk to Mr. Wu again. Look at the state my dad and brother are in. Our family has worked hard, even if we haven't achieved anything, we’ve at least put in the effort..."

The other party said coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, then the villa will really be gone."

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Weiwei, stop talking! Hurry up and take out the car keys!"

Xiao Weiwei was extremely angry, but she didn't dare to continue resisting, so she could only cry and take out the car keys, handing them to the other party.

The man took the keys and said to the Xiao family, "Alright, the ambulance has been arranged for you. The five of you, hurry back. We’ll take the car first."

After saying that, the two of them got into the Bentley and drove away from the scene.

At this moment, a dilapidated ambulance drove up to the family and stopped. The driver rolled down the window and asked, "Are you the ones going to Tang Chen One?"

"Yes..." Old Mrs. Xiao nodded dejectedly and said, "Please take the four of us to Tang Chen One A04."

The driver and a young man in the passenger seat got out of the car, helped them lift Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong onto the ambulance, and then said to Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei, "You two follow in the back and squeeze in."

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said to Xiao Weiwei, "Weiwei, this ambulance is a bit high, help Grandma."

Xiao Weiwei wiped away her tears, rubbed her red eyes, and choked, "Okay, Grandma..."

Qian Hongyan hurriedly followed and said fawningly, "Mom, I’ll help you too!"

Old Mrs. Xiao slapped her hand away and scolded angrily, "Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Qian Hongyan didn't expect the old lady to suddenly get angry with her and asked with some grievance, "Mom, where did I offend you again?"

Old Mrs. Xiao cursed through gritted teeth, "You offended me everywhere! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't have ended up like this today! If it weren't for you, Changqian’s ten-plus million wouldn't have gone down the drain! If it weren't for you, Changqian wouldn't have been constantly mocked and ridiculed by Ma Lan!! If it weren't for you, Changqian wouldn't have laid a hand on Ma Lan. He and Hailong are so miserable now, this is all your fault!"

Qian Hongyan burst into tears immediately.

She also felt extremely aggrieved in her heart and cried, "Mom, I know you’ve been holding a grudge because I got pregnant in the black coal mine, but I was truly doing it for survival at the time; otherwise, I might have been dead long ago!"

"Besides, the matter of those ten-plus million back then wasn't something I subjectively intended to lose!"

"My original intention was to cheat Ma Lan out of her money and villa to improve our family’s living conditions! All the efforts I made and all the sacrifices I paid were for this family!"

When Old Mrs. Xiao heard her mention the pregnancy, she felt as if she had been slapped twice and immediately cursed, "You shameless bitch, how dare you mention the pregnancy! You are simply corrupting the family style, morally bankrupt, and utterly shameless! If it weren't for Wu Donghai protecting you, I would have kicked you out of the house long ago!"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her breathing rhythm was disrupted, and she gritted her teeth, "And! When you came out of the black coal mine, you didn't just get pregnant with a wild seed! You also caught a venereal disease! And you passed it to my son! Did you think I didn't know?!"

Qian Hongyan’s face turned red.

Just when she didn't know how to fight back, the driver asked impatiently, "Are you family going or not? If you want to argue, take those two patients off the car and argue with them. We’re waiting to get off work, we don't have time to waste here with you!"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao immediately cowered and hurriedly said, "Driver, don't be angry, we’re going, we’re going right now!"

After saying that, she glared fiercely at Qian Hongyan, and then, with Xiao Weiwei’s help, climbed into the ambulance.

Although Xiao Weiwei felt some sympathy for her mother, she didn't dare to defend her at this time and could only signal her mother to get in the car first.

Qian Hongyan also knew very well that she had no other place to live except for the Tang Chen One A06 villa, so she could only swallow her anger and get into the car, sitting in the corner submissively.

After the five family members got into the ambulance, it immediately headed toward Tang Chen One.

In the car, Xiao Changqian lay on the mobile hospital bed, looked at Old Mrs. Xiao, and asked with painful tears, "Mom, what are we going to do in the future? Our family is penniless again..."

Old Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears and said with extreme pain and melancholy, "I don't know what to do either. Now our family doesn't have a single cent, and you two are injured like this. The future treatment, medication, and rehabilitation will all cost a lot of money. We are truly at the end of our rope..."

Xiao Hailong cried, "Grandma, why don't we go back to Tang Chen One, see if there’s anything valuable, and sell it! There are quite a few good things in that villa. Just the good wine in the wine cellar should be worth a lot of money!"

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, "If there’s really no other way, that’s all we can do!"

Xiao Weiwei asked at this time, "By the way, Grandma, those two people just said that Mr. Wu arranged three helpers for our family. Where are they?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was also at a loss, "I don't know, maybe they were arranged but haven't arrived yet?"

"Sigh..." Xiao Weiwei sighed, "If three helpers can really be sent over, it means Wu Donghai still has a little bit of conscience. Otherwise, with Dad and Brother injured like this, it’s really hard for the three of us to take care of them."

"Who says otherwise..." Old Mrs. Xiao sighed, "I guess Wu Donghai is indeed angry with us, but he should still have some hope for us. It’s just that he’s currently in a fit of anger. If we have a chance in the future, we must perform well, and we should be able to regain his trust!"

Xiao Weiwei nodded and sighed, "Sigh, I hope the three helpers he arranged arrive quickly. It would be best if they were already waiting at Tang Chen One. Otherwise, we won't even know how to get Dad and Brother back to their rooms..."
