She had no choice but to take her daughter back to her parents' home, where her parents could barely help take care of the child.
More importantly, she was persuaded to resign from her original company in order to have a child. After a two-and-a-half-year career gap, it was difficult for her to find a formal job and she could only work as a temporary worker such as a cashier or waiter.
Over the years, Shen Qingyao's mother worked two jobs, acting as both a father and a mother, and only then was she able to raise her daughter.
Who would have thought that when the daughter just turned eighteen and was about to see the dawn of hope, she was diagnosed with leukemia due to overwork, pushing this family, which was already on the verge of breaking up, into the abyss of darkness.
If she died, the family's only labor force would be gone, and without a source of income, Shen Qingyao, who was still in high school, would have to drop out of school - although she would not die, her future would be ruined.
Therefore, Chen Ming's assistance was equivalent to saving the future of her entire family.
Shen Qingyao's mother was naturally very grateful.
Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. It's just 500,000 yuan, a small amount of money. Qingyao is my girlfriend. Her family is in trouble, so it's only right to help her!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao's mother looked at her daughter, then at the confident and calm man, and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Her daughter is an adult now, so she doesn't object to her dating life. Perhaps before, she was worried that her naive daughter would meet the wrong person and be cheated on by a scumbag and then abandoned...
But now, she is relieved!
Because judging by Shen Qingyao's mother's life experience:
Whether a man loves you or not cannot be determined by what he says. No matter how sincere and sweet words he says, they are useless!
You have to see what he did.
Therefore, Chen Ming's act of providing assistance with real money successfully won her favor.
Even if there are additional conditions - such as asking his daughter to be his girlfriend.
She also felt that it was acceptable, as it was better than her daughter borrowing from online loans and loan sharks.
Moreover, she believed that Chen Ming was definitely not an ordinary man since he could easily come up with 500,000 yuan to treat her illness!
My daughter's relationship with this guy is considered to be marrying above her status, and it can even be said to be a blessing in disguise!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyao's mother looked at Chen Ming with more favor and started chatting about family matters.
"Xiao Chen, can auntie call you that?"
Chen Ming nodded when he heard this: "Yeah! It's okay, Auntie, just call me Xiao Chen..."
Shen Qingyao's mother continued with a smile on her face.
"Xiao Chen, what do you do for a living? If I rashly spend so much money on my treatment, will it be a burden on you financially?"
?
When Chen Ming heard this, he developed some post-traumatic stress disorder - although he had never been married, his parents had arranged many blind dates for him when they were still alive.
The result, of course, is being criticized and rejected.
Therefore, he had some stress reaction to the mother-in-law's household registration-style questions - if it was back when he was a poor security guard, faced with this situation, he could only introduce himself awkwardly, go through the blind date process, and then run away.
But now Chen Ming has enough confidence, no matter whether it is financial resources or combat power, he is fearless!
So, facing this situation, he was not at all intimidated and replied calmly, "Don't worry, Auntie. I give Qingyao 20 yuan in pocket money every month, so 50 yuan won't be a burden to me... As for my job, I work in the power industry, generating electricity, charging, nuclear power plants, etc..."
Chen Ming is the most honest person, so everything he says is true!
Every day I am either charging or on the way to reach my charging goal...
As for the nuclear power plant, there's one in another world, and it's a controlled nuclear fusion reactor...
But his words could easily be misunderstood.
Shen Qingyao's mother's thoughts went astray—what? The power industry? Nuclear power plants? Isn't that a state monopoly? Got it! He's the son of a powerful official!
If I give my girlfriend 200,000 yuan in pocket money every month, then 500,000 yuan is really nothing. It is just pocket money for two and a half months.
Shen Qingyao's mother's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. Seeing Chen Ming's calm and composed manner when he spoke, coupled with the 50 as a prelude, these words were extremely credible!
Suddenly, she became more and more accepting of this future son-in-law.
Although she did not hate Shen Qingyao's dead father, the hard life day after day made her regret her marriage, especially in the recent period, this feeling became stronger.
Ever since she was diagnosed with leukemia, she had to shamelessly ask everyone she knew for money, and endured perfunctory and cold treatment. It was a really unpleasant feeling.
She herself is not afraid of death. After working two jobs every day, death would be a relief.
She was just worried about her daughter. What would happen to her daughter after she died, without a source of income?
For the sake of her daughter's future, she had no choice but to kneel down and borrow money. God knows how much she wanted to have someone to rely on at that time.
But everyone who knew her knew the situation of her family - the only pillar of the family had fallen, who would dare to lend her money?
That feeling of despair and helplessness made her regret more and more...
So Shen Qingyao's mother hoped her daughter wouldn't follow in her footsteps. Good looks and so-called potential stocks were truly unreliable. She had experienced this deeply...
Still, the second generation like Chen Ming who is powerful and rich is much more attractive. He is at the peak of his career and does not need potential or good looks.
Now it seems that my daughter has better vision than me and has found a man she can rely on for the rest of her life.
However, she understood her daughter's simple character, so she planned to teach her daughter a few tricks privately after she was discharged from the hospital.
After thinking about this, Shen Qingyao's mother did not continue to ask about Chen Ming's background.
Household registration-style questioning is only suitable for ordinary people.
When facing an outstanding man like Chen Ming, just ask enough questions. Asking too much will cause disgust.
Just based on Chen Ming's answer, she already had a clue in her mind...
Shen Qingyao's mother smiled with relief: "If you don't have any burdens, then Auntie will be relieved. Xiao Chen, you are really young and promising..."
"No, no, Auntie, you're too kind!"
Shen Qingyao, who was standing aside, watched her mother and Chen Ming chatting harmoniously. Although she was a little confused, she still felt very happy - she had gained her mother's approval. From today on, she didn't need to sneak around to find Chen Ming anymore!
The previous model of being kept by Chen Ming was inconsistent with the concept of love that Shen Qingyao had developed since childhood.
Now with the support and blessing of her mother, she feels like she has found true love!
[Ding, Shen Qingyao's favorability increased by +10, currently at 95!]
This sudden increase in favorability made Chen Ming overjoyed - there was hope in the main world as well, and he could get a tenfold increase in charging to 100 points of favorability!
Although he was a little confused - the higher the favorability, the harder it was to improve. Why did Shen Qingyao suddenly rise 10 points?
But this is not important. What is important is to find a way to increase the remaining 5 points of Shen Qingyao's favorability.
As a result, the conversation between Chen Ming and Shen Qingyao's mother became more harmonious - because both sides wanted to get closer.
It wasn't until the nurse reminded them that they had been chatting for too long and that the patient needed to rest that Shen Qingyao's mother said, "Xiao Chen, it's getting late. I'm a little worried if Qingyao goes home alone. Could you please take her home?"
Chen Ming almost answered directly: Auntie, you are worrying too much, she will go home with me tonight.
But that would be too arrogant, so he said tactfully: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely send Qingyao home safely..."
Anyway, he didn't say which house to deliver it to, so it's not a lie.
After Shen Qingyao's mother heard his statement, she nodded with satisfaction: "That's great, Xiao Chen, Qingyao is in your care..."
Chen Ming always felt that his mother-in-law seemed to have hidden meanings in her words.
However, whether it was expressed in words or implicitly, he expressed his support, so he would not be polite.
"Okay, Auntie! I will take good care of Qingyao!"
After hearing this, a smile appeared in Shen Qingyao's mother's eyes. She felt that talking to this man was very easy. She didn't need to explain too clearly, and the other party would understand what she meant. So she nodded with satisfaction.
Then the two said goodbye to Shen Qingyao's mother and left the hospital.
After getting in the car, Chen Ming immediately leaned towards Shen Qingyao, then reached out to take the seat belt and help her fasten it.
Then he turned his head to look at the pretty face of the girl who was so close to him. He didn't say anything, but just gave the girl a "you know" smile.
Shen Qingyao did not reject the feeling of being pressed against Chen Ming, and said in a sweet voice:
"Thank you, uncle. I don't know how to thank you..."
Chen Ming immediately felt the fragrance, and the smile on his face became even wider:
"No, you know."
Shen Qingyao was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this. She looked around the spacious interior of the car and her pretty face suddenly turned red...
Chapter 80: The tunnel is dug!
Although Shen Qingyao had never charged her phone in a car, she had done so at home with Chen Ming. She had also just promised him that as long as he agreed to pretend to be her boyfriend, she would do anything...
So she kept her promise and nodded in agreement consciously.
"Yeah~ Uncle, it's OK~"
Chen Ming pinched the girl's nose and said with a smile: "Qingyao is so good, let's go home and recharge!"
After all, this is a busy hospital parking lot, and even though the car windows have reflective film, the vibration is still too obvious.
As his first canary, Shen Qingyao gave him all her purity!
Chen Ming still has special feelings for her and is reluctant to do anything wrong.
As for the Mercedes-Benz climbing a tree, Chen Ming would ask Cheng Yu to try next time. She only has one power bank and can stand up and pedal.
Just like the time when they sang in KTV before, he couldn't bear to do that to Chen Suyan and Li Xiangling, who belonged to him completely.
Hearing Chen Ming say this, Shen Qingyao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really?"
She really feels a little scared about charging in the car!
Although she kept her promise, she could suppress her fear and take risks in order to make her loved one happy.
But being able to go home and recharge is naturally better, and it feels like being pardoned.
"of course it's true."
As Chen Ming spoke, he fastened his seat belt, then stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
On the way, he asked, "How long will Auntie stay in the sterile laminar flow ward?"
"Because it's an allogeneic transplant, the doctor said it usually takes 4-6 weeks to observe the rejection reaction..." Shen Qingyao said.
Chen Ming added, "Wait until Auntie is transferred to the general ward, then you can arrange for her to be discharged. I have a better way to recover."
He learned the healing magic [Water of Life] after Shen Qingyao's mother underwent surgery.
He wasn't sure how long it would take him to learn healing magic, so he didn't try to persuade Shen Qingyao not to undergo the surgery. If Shen Qingyao's mother died because of the delay, Shen Qingyao's favorability would definitely plummet! After all, she was kept by Chen Ming to raise money to save her mother!
Now that Shen Qingyao's mother was in a sterile laminar flow ward, it was not convenient for him to cast magic in public - before he could physically withstand a nuclear bomb, he still needed to be more stable.
So we can only wait for the other party to be transferred to the general ward and be discharged from the hospital at that time. No one will care.
As for why he did this, it was of course to boost Shen Qingyao's favorability. After all, her favorability was already 95 points, about to reach the maximum value...
The higher the favorability, the harder it is to improve. The last five points must be some shocking stuff, such as showing extraordinary power to treat Shen Qingyao's mother, which is a very good shocking stuff!
"Uncle, are you going to transfer my mother to a better hospital?"
When she said this, Shen Qingyao's face showed surprise. It was obvious that she also wanted to provide better medical conditions for her mother.
"You'll know then!"
Chen Ming smiled mysteriously and continued driving.
He did not do as Shen Qingyao guessed - drive the car to a quiet place, suddenly connect the charging cable, and charge it.
Instead, he drove the car safely back to the lakeside villa.
As soon as the Mercedes-Benz entered the garage, Chen Ming slapped away the pair of slender hands that were automatically finding their way, "Don't worry, come with me into the house and meet some sisters first!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingyao stuck out her tongue and grinned, "Okay, uncle, actually, I can still accept this in my own garage~"
"Let's try it together after dinner."
As Chen Ming said this, he got out of the car to scan his face. Just as he opened the door connecting the garage to the villa, the lights in the living room suddenly went out.
?
What are these three girls doing?
As Chen Ming was thinking this, he discovered that the living room was not completely dark, and there was still a faint flicker of candlelight.
He walked over curiously, and when he passed the entrance, he saw a circle of heart-shaped candles in the living room, with three beautiful girls standing in the middle of the heart...
Chen Suyan on the left is wearing a white silk JK, Li Xiangling in the middle is wearing a nude apron, and Han Xueyi on the right is wearing an ancient costume of a personal maid. Each of them is holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands.
