Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

Chapter 106 Thank you, Mom, for not letting me get a divorce

Hong Lizhu made an outrageous demand, insisting that even if Jin Yuanbao had a million, it would be reserved for his master Liu Yaozu's retirement, but she refused to give it to him. Jin Yuanbao grew impatient and told Hong Lizhu that if she continued like this, it would truly be pointless.

Two months later, Hong Lizhu suddenly told Jin Yuanbao that she had cancer and was going to die, asking him for two million yuan. Upon hearing this news, Jin Yuanbao became anxious and asked his friends to find out if there were any good doctors who could help with the treatment.

Hong Lizhu cried every three days, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot, which annoyed Jin Yuanbao to no end. However, he really couldn't come up with that much money in a short time. It wasn't until Liu Yaozu noticed Jin Yuanbao's abnormality and questioned him repeatedly that Jin Yuanbao revealed the truth, including the truth about Liu Xueli's death back then.

Liu Yaozu remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Yuanbao, why are you so silly?"

Jin Yuanbao sighed and replied, "I saw my father-in-law's actions at the time, and I always felt that if he hadn't kicked him those few more times, Xue Li wouldn't have died, and it would still be your son who took care of you in your old age and saw you off in your final days."

"What are you saying? Xue Li is my son, but aren't you? Back then, your father, Zhu Guangshan, and I were sworn brothers, even closer than blood brothers. So, we said back then that all the children were our children. You're really too naive." Liu Yaozu, on the contrary, was more open-minded than Jin Yuanbao, and instead advised Jin Yuanbao to be more optimistic. He also brought up Hong Lizhu's matter. He said that Hong Lizhu had also asked him for money, saying that Xiao Juan had cancer and needed a hysterectomy, hoping that Liu Yaozu would give her money urgently.

When two people like this get together, it's clear there's something wrong. Hong Lizhu hasn't been serious about the secondhand business over the years; instead, she's been constantly asking Jin Yuanbao for money. Fortunately, Jin Yuanbao and Zhu Hongying haven't officially divorced, and Jin Yuanbao's bank account is still in Zhu Hongying's hands. He even gave Jin Yuanyuan a separate bank card, which he puts into whenever he has money. His personal bank account, on the other hand, is practically empty.

The original plan was to call Hong Lizhu over at a later time to discuss the matter. However, Jin Yuanbao had an accident. The day after the surgery, Hong Lizhu went to Liu Yaozu's house, using the excuse of finding Jin Yuanbao a change of clothes to enter his room. Liu Yaozu, suspicious of Hong Lizhu's actions, secretly moved all of Jin Yuanbao's valuables from the house to his own room, leaving Hong Lizhu with nothing.

When Zhao Zhuoran went to pick him up, he guessed what Jin Yuanbao might say, so he hurried over.

Now that things had come to this point, Hong Lizhu naturally wanted to say a few words in her defense, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Zhu Hongying retorted, "Are you sick or not? If you are, get sick; if not, get out. We don't need you in our family!"

"Zhu Hongying, how can you say that? Yuanbao still likes me." Hong Lizhu must have really taken the wrong medicine, because she was still insisting.

Jin Yuanyuan couldn't help but say, "You should take your medicine right away; it seems you're really quite ill."

"Wait a minute," Zhao Zhuoran suddenly spoke up, asking, "Who in your family is seriously ill? Do you have a diagnosis?"

"Don't you trust me? I've sacrificed so much for the Liu family all these years..." Hong Lizhu was clearly uncomfortable. "Never mind, I'm leaving."

"No, you can't leave. You have to give back the money from Jin Yuanbao." Zhu Hongying disagreed, and it looked like she was about to grab Hong Lizhu's clothes. Cao Xiaoyu was afraid she would get too agitated, so he quickly stayed by her side.

"Cough cough cough cough, that's fine then." Jin Yuanbao also got excited. "This money is what I'm returning to Xue Li, Hong Ying, it's okay."

"Hmph." Zhu Hongying was very dissatisfied.

At this moment, the doctor and nurses stood at the door of the ward again, looking at the group of people.

Taking advantage of this moment, Hong Lizhu picked up her bag, turned around, and left the ward. Zhu Hongying wanted to say something, but she held back.

Liu Yaozu looked at the gold ingot before saying, "Now that this matter has been discussed, let's resolve it slowly. However, don't give Hong Lizhu another penny. We also need to check the accounts of her company. I have shares in it, so it's best to take a look beforehand."

"Okay, I'll find someone to take care of it." Jin Yuanbao nodded, but his eyes were still on Zhu Hongying. Zhu Hongying glanced at him, then turned and left.

Cao Xiaoyu was worried, so he waved to Jin Yuanyuan and followed her.

Jin Yuanyuan was unsure whether to follow Zhu Hongying, but Zhao Zhuoran grabbed her arm and said, "Yuanyuan, come with me to Wanghu Pavilion to get lunch for your father and your master."

"Oh." Jin Yuanyuan glanced at Jin Yuanbao again before following Zhao Zhuoran.

The "infidelity" scandal that had plagued her for twenty years ended like this. Jin Yuanyuan was somewhat bewildered, but she was also carefully considering everyone's position. Who was at fault? Who should be held responsible? It was hard to say.

There are many things in life that cannot be explained or understood. Even if Jin Yuanyuan, as a junior, cannot unravel the affairs of the previous generation, the pressure and torment she has endured over the past twenty years are immeasurable.

At this moment, Zhao Zhuoran's words woke her up: "I think your dad is right. Fortunately, he didn't divorce your mom, so at least your dad's money was saved. Perhaps, this is just my personal guess, your dad didn't actually intend to divorce your mom back then. He just felt that whenever he saw your mom, he would be reminded of what her father had done, and he couldn't get over it. Your mom's personality is indeed too strong, so things have turned out the way they are now."

Jin Yuanyuan originally wanted to retort, but suddenly realized that her reaction was very similar to Zhu Hongying's back then. She immediately shut her mouth, looked at Zhao Zhuoran, and finally nodded.

"Actually, I think my master is the most open-minded. He even thought about checking the accounts. Should I help him?" Zhao Zhuoran asked her.

"How can you help? Should we find an accounting firm?" Jin Yuanyuan really didn't know much about this kind of thing.

"It's not just a finance company, there should also be lawyers. There's a lot to settle." Zhao Zhuoran patted Jin Yuanyuan on the shoulder, even adopting the air of a boss, and said, "Xiao Jin, you still have a lot to learn about running a company. There are relevant talents in our organization in the 'Colorful World' WeChat group. Consult them later."

"Mmm." Jin Yuanyuan nodded quite seriously, completely unaware that Zhao Zhuoran had become an indispensable partner in her life, and that their bond had grown increasingly deep.
