Wu Bi raised his eyebrows handsomely. “I was still wondering if I should prepare a set for you. I didn’t expect you to come prepared.”
Jian Ai shrugged and didn’t comment.
The cocktail party was in the evening three days later. It was said that this cocktail party would be held once every year in Baiyun City. All the top celebrities in Baiyun City would be around, and even many rich people from other provinces would take part.
…
At Wang Yunfa’s house.
Ever since he got alcohol poisoning the last time, Wang Yunfa had been recovering in the hospital for a month. Now, he was finally discharged and home.
After this incident, although Wang Yunfa didn’t die, he scared himself half to death. After all, he didn’t really want to kill himself. He was just in a bad mood and drank too much alcohol. He didn’t expect to almost drink himself to death.
Li Xia had long cleaned up the house. Wang Yunfa almost died. Even if Li Xia was angry, she could not vent it out now.
“Dad, Mom, sit down first. I’ll go wash apples for you.” Li Xia called for the two elders of the Wang family to sit on the sofa, and she turned to go to the kitchen.
Seeing this, the old lady quickly said, “Xia, don’t be busy. Sit down first. Your father and I have something to say.”
When Li Xia heard this, she could not help but be stunned. She subconsciously looked at Wang Yunfa, who was silent.
Although she was puzzled, she still sat on the sofa obediently.
The old lady sighed first. She looked at her youngest son and then at her daughter-in-law. Then, she said, “Your father and I know that you guys are unhappy because of the house, but since things have already come to this, no matter what you do, it won’t help, right?”
“About this matter, Yunfa suffered a loss, so it’s reasonable for him to feel upset. But no matter what, we can’t risk our lives, right? Your father and I are old, and we can’t afford to be frightened like this.”
“Mom, Yunfa didn’t do it on purpose. Fortunately, it was just a scare but nothing dangerous. Don’t worry, I’ll look after him in the future and let him drink less.” Li Xia was good at talking. She immediately comforted the old lady.
The old man nodded and looked at the old lady. “Alright, stop talking about these things. Let’s get down to business.”
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Li Xia couldn’t help but look at him strangely. Even Wang Yunfa looked up curiously.
Business?
What business?
The old lady took out a red bankbook from her pocket and placed it on the table. She sighed again and said, “Your father and I are giving you this money. Your brother is rich, so we don’t have to worry about him in the future. After South City is demolished, your father and I can’t spend the demolition fee. We’ll give it to you!”
“Demolition fee?” Wang Yunfa was shocked. He quickly reached out to take the bankbook and opened it. His eyes widened when he saw the balance column.
Five… five hundred thousand yuan!
Wang Yunfa felt his head heat up. He didn’t even have time to control his expression as a silly smile appeared on his face.
The old man said, “They have not paid the demolition fee yet. Your mother and I borrowed this money from your brother. We’ll return it to him when we receive the payment for the demolition fee.”
Li Xia took the bankbook, and she was pleasantly surprised to see the numbers on it. However, she was much more reserved than Wang Yunfa, so she only pretended to be shocked. “This… Dad, Mom, are you giving this to us?”
It was not fifty thousand yuan or one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, but five hundred thousand yuan!
In this era, five hundred thousand yuan was undoubtedly an enormous sum for an ordinary family!
