CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

Before they could express their opinions, Su Jingsong directly sat in the driver’s seat, and the roar of the engine was deafening.

Then he sprayed them with exhaust, before finally speeding away.

Han Chunli spat several times and started cursing: "What kind of person is this, he doesn’t offer to give us a ride, and treats us like this. Just watch how I deal with him next time."

Ji Linfeng watched the car disappear into the distance: "Chunli, you should tone down a bit in the future, don’t you feel that Second Brother’s attitude towards us has changed?"

Han Chunli retorted indifferently: "Alright, you’re overthinking it. Second Brother surely feels embarrassed facing us; that’s why he’s acting like this. Now since we’ve put our house up against the money we borrowed from Second Brother, let’s see what Big Brother and Third Sister have to say."

The two took the bus back to the hospital, and Ji Xiaowen saw them coming in: "Dad, Mom, why were you gone for so long?"

Han Chunli didn’t want to affect her daughter’s mood, so she didn’t mention today’s events, only said: "Are you hungry, what do you want to eat? Let your dad get the food."

Ji Xiaowen shook her head with a smile: "I had some fruit bread that Auntie sent over, so I’m not really hungry. Dad, get me some plain congee, anything else is fine."

After Ji Linfeng left, Ji Xiaowen then whispered: "Mom, did you borrow the money for the surgery?"

Han Chunli nodded: "Everything is ready, don’t worry."

She tried hard not to show any flaws, but inside she was cursing Brother Han, Second Brother, and Third Sister profusely.

Meanwhile at the Mechanical Factory, Yu Xinyan can finally rest for a day tomorrow.

Originally, Teacher Cao wanted her to go to school for a special session tomorrow, but after Yu Xinyan explained her situation, Teacher Cao could only let her take some papers home to do in her own time.

After evening study, Duan Ruilian came over: "Xinyan, let’s go together today."

Yu Xinyan nodded with a smile: "Sure."

The two initially chatted about their studies, later Duan Ruilian whispered: "Hey, I heard Qiu Qingmei has a very influential relative in the Capital, regardless of her scores, she can get into university."

Yu Xinyan laughed: "I doubt pies fall from the sky."

Duan Ruilian also laughed upon hearing this: "I think so too, those two sisters-in-law of Qiu Qingmei have been bragging outside these days."

Yu Xinyan chuckled softly: "If it were true as they say, that would be nice. If not, Qiu Qingmei might end up hating them."

The two laughed merrily, not noticing He Jinxuan patrolling at the factory gate.

He Jinxuan turned around after hearing familiar voices, just in time to see Yu Xinyan chatting and laughing as she walked by, feeling happy, he couldn’t help but smile himself.

Yu Xinyan seemed to sense the gaze from behind, turned her head to look back, and despite the poor lighting, she clearly saw the person after all this time together.

Their eyes met, Yu Xinyan nodded to him, turned, and entered the community with Duan Ruilian.

After they were out of sight, He Jinxuan then retracted his gaze, and this scene happened to be seen by Lu Haibo coming back by car, he stuck his head out and said to He Jinxuan: "Buddy, they’re gone, what are you still looking at?"

He Jinxuan immediately recognized the voice and straightened his expression: "Don’t talk nonsense."

Lu Haibo naturally knew not to talk nonsense in front of others: "I’ve brought some stuff for Sili and Siyan, come over after you’re done."

He Jinxuan nodded to him, indicating for him to hurry up and give way to the cars behind.

Lu Haibo winked and smiled at him, then drove away.
