Chapter 873: Chapter 874 Toxic Fatherly Love 6

The agent arrived looking bewildered, “The house is sold just like that?”

The homeowner hummed an acknowledgment, “Yes.” He briefly explained the situation, “Look, you didn’t really put in the effort for this house, the commission…”

The other party was a straightforward person, “Done.”

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking the agent was a decent person, the agent said matter-of-factly, “After all, we are old classmates.”

Alright, so they were acquaintances. Thinking it over, it seemed quite normal; a stranger wouldn’t have offered such a good deal.

With the agent’s witness, they signed the contract. As for the payment for the house, it was too late and the banks had closed, so it would have to wait until tomorrow.

“Transfer the house directly, and everything will be handled by then.” The homeowner took a deep breath, “I thought I couldn’t sell the house before going abroad.”

Only at this point did Zhang Yu finally understand why the other person was so anxious.

The next morning, Zhang Yu first went to see the doctor for the examination report and to hear the final treatment plan given by the doctor.

He originally wanted to stay with the old lady for an IV drip, but she sent him away, “Go sort out the house stuff, and then get the house rented out.”

Yesterday, after talking with the agent and finding him to be a good person, he decided to directly let the agent rent out the house he was staying in.

“We can have money earlier if the house is rented out sooner.” The old lady was understandably anxious; after buying the house, they didn’t have much money on hand.

Even next month, when the rent for the shop space for the next quarter is due, having hardly any money on hand made her feel panicked.

Wu Hao, taking advantage of the midday break, came to the hospital with some tonics, pondering how to recognize Zhang Yu and what to say.

But upon arriving at the ward, he found only Li Cuifen there, which made him feel suddenly anxious.

He truly felt the urge to dash out, but then he thought it over and decided he had to face it.

“Mom.” Wu Hao carried the items cautiously to the bedside.

The patients eating and their caregivers were stunned to hear this “Mom,” knowing that Li Cuifen only had one daughter who had passed away years ago, leaving just the two of them to rely on each other.

Now with a middle-aged man calling her “Mom,” they glanced at each other, wondering if he could be the philandering ex-son-in-law?

Wu Hao didn’t overthink it; all his focus was on Li Cuifen, considering what her reaction might be.

Li Cuifang hadn’t expected Wu Hao to come so soon; she now believed that he really had designs on her family.

“What are you doing here?” Li Cuifen asked with a scowl.

He wasn’t angry, which made Wu Hao breathe a sigh of relief, “Yesterday I came to visit a sick colleague, and I saw Little Yu…”

“You recognize Little Yu?” Li Cuifen asked skeptically, “You’ve been divorced for so many years.”

“You never came back to see Little Yu.” Little Yu had changed so much from her childhood, it wasn’t just a matter of easily passing by and recognizing her, right?

Li Cuifen reaffirmed that Wu Hao and his wife had ill intentions towards Zhang Yu, “Forget it, I don’t want to hear your explanations.”

“You could neglect Li Na who had done so much for you, how could you be good to Little Yu.”

“Don’t tell me how good you were to Little Yu.”

“Take your things and get out quickly.” Li Cuifen said with disgust, “I don’t want to see you.”

How could Wu Hao take his things and leave? If he just walked away with his stuff, he wouldn’t be able to proceed with his plan.

“Mom, I know you’re angry with me…” Wu Hao said this aloud, but in his heart, he was constantly cursing the old lady to hasten her death.

Such a nuisance, this old lady. Wu Hao recalled the nurse informing him about the surgery in the afternoon, and he cursed Li Cuifen again in his heart. She was already suffering from lung cancer, why waste money looking at it anyway.

“Good that you know. Now leave,” she said.

“Why do you want to infuriate me to death, and then use your father’s identity to suppress Little Yu, managing her assets for her?”

“Let me tell you, don’t even think about it. That’s just not going to happen.”

Li Cuifen didn’t get angry with Wu Hao either, her illness couldn’t afford anger, otherwise, it would only worsen her condition, possibly falling into the other party’s trap.

Wu Hao hadn’t expected the other party to be so blunt, actually voicing out his thoughts.

How could that be possible, how did she know? He had just arrived, hadn’t he?

Could it be that she had guessed he would come over? Wu Hao originally thought his arrival would be quite unexpected, that the old lady wouldn’t be able to react in time.

“Mom, how can you think like that.” Regardless, he still had to try to salvage what he could.

“Don’t call me mom.” Li Cuifen corrected again, “After what you’ve done, do you think we can live together peacefully?”

“Alright, leave now. Don’t think about coming over often, trying to provoke me into anger.”

“I will be fine, I will strive to live until Little Yu gets into university, then see her get married and have children.”

If she couldn’t last until then, she had already thought it through, then she would let Little Yu go abroad.

After all, there were no family members left in the country, Little Yu could easily move forward, seeing how Wu Hao’s family would try to plot against Little Yu.

After the old lady said these words, she didn’t look at him anymore, closing her eyes to rest.

Wu Hao felt helpless, wanting to explain, but not knowing how to, he could only helplessly go downstairs to wait for Zhang Yu.

But as he waited and waited, until if he didn’t leave he’d be late for work in the afternoon, he could only leave helplessly.

What was Zhang Yu doing at that time, she had just taken an agent to see a house, “The owner of this apartment is my grandmother.”

“It’s available for full rental.”

“The house can be renovated, but you have to show us the design plans for approval, and after getting our consent, ask the Construction Bureau for a renovation permit before you can start renovating.”

Zhang Yu knew that people renting houses would definitely request renovations, it wasn’t that renovations couldn’t be made, but there were requirements.

The agent kept nodding, “Absolutely, that requirement is reasonable.”

“As for the rent, it’s a deposit for one with three months in advance, and rent must be paid one month ahead.”

“The lease agreement is signed every two years, and after it expires, the rent will be adjusted to market price.”

“If not renewing the lease upon expiration, you must either restore it to its original state or leave the renovations, with no compensation.” Zhang Yu was very straightforward.

Were the terms too harsh? Zhang Yu really didn’t think they were harsh, knowing how sought after the property was.

The agent nodded, “No problem.” A common stance among most landlords.

“What about the things inside?” He glanced for a moment earlier; the house was large, and there were many items.

“I will sort them out in a couple of days.” Some items were useless and could be thrown away directly, but some needed to be kept.

Which specific items to keep would have to be confirmed with the old lady, but Zhang Yu didn’t see it as a big issue, thinking that the house wouldn’t be rented out so quickly.

The agent thought for a moment, “If possible, could you vacate the house by the end of the month?”

What? Zhang Yu was stunned, looking at him puzzled, “So soon?”

The agent hummed a sound of affirmation, “Yes, actually, I have several clients on hand who want to rent this kind of house.”

“Some want to open companies, some want to open studios, and there are also foreigners who want to live here.”

“Really, this house truly won’t have any trouble being rented out.”
