Chapter 249 - Before Shu Yan could say anything else, she saw Yingying's parents charging at her. (1)
It was great that she didn’t want to take a trip home. Shu Yan first told Aunty that she would not be travelling after all before she called Feng Zeyu immediately after that.
“Luckily, he is okay. That way I don’t need to take a trip back. I have already asked my cousin to give them 1,000 yuan so he can buy or eat whatever he likes.” The three sons could take care of the rest. Their parents had already paid for their houses, their weddings, and looked after their children for them. So what if they had to come up with some money to cover the hospital bills.
“Glad to hear that everything was alright.” A hint of regret flashed through Feng Zeyu but he immediately chastised himself for even feeling that way.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Yan put the clothes that she had packed back to where they belonged. She may not like how original owner’s parents’ strong belief that boys were better than girls, but they were, after all, original owner’s parents. It was best that they were healthy and alive.
That little incident took her entire day. When Shu Yan went into the office the next day, Hu Ruixue asked, “How come you did come to our New Year’s Eve party last night? The programs were amazing and there were a lot of prizes. Such a shame that you have missed it.”
“Since you have asked, my dad fell off the roof when he climbed up to fix the tiles. He was in the emergency room for 4-5 hours. I was already packing for a trip back when my cousin said he was stabilized so I didn’t end up going.” Shu Yan rubbed her temples and looked tired.
“Is everything okay? Why didn’t you give me a call? We could have transferred him over to a hospital in City Nan. Our hospitals here are more advanced,” said Hu Ruixue caringly.
“No, don’t. If it was serious enough that he needs to be transferred to a better hospital, I will have my cousin help bring him over to a hospital in Capital City. I can cover the cost. In no uncertain terms can I let them know that I am here. That will ruin my children’s and my life going forward.” As for covering the entire cost, that was not going to happen. She wasn’t a saint. Her parents would drink her blood if only they could. Why would she rush and offer herself up to them? Original owner’s second sister notwithstanding, all of the three brothers would be in on this. If it cost 10,000 yuan, that’s 2,500 a head; it was 20,000, then 5,000 each.
Hu Ruixue smacked herself on her own forehead and recalled that Shu Yan had mentioned in the past that her parents strongly believed that boys were better than girls. “Your parents are pitiful yet it was difficult for one to feel bad for them.”
“Let’s not talk about them anymore. Didn’t you say that Duoduo wanted to have my sweet soup a couple of days ago.? I’ve made a big pot this morning. Have your chauffeur bring some home in a bit.” Shu Yan did not want to talk about the messy business with the original owner’s family at all.
“Okay, I shall thank Duoduo’s godmother for her then.”
Hu Ruixue brought her child with her to Shu Yan’s on the second day of the new year. Hu Ruixue noticed that Duoduo was particularly quiet when she was around Shu Yan. The kind of comfortable quiet. Neither did she resend Tianbao nor JingJing. Hu Ruixue insisted that Shu Yan be Duoduo’s godmother and also became the godmother of Shu Yan’s two children.
Hu Ruixue wanted to have a banquet too but Shu Yan turned that idea down. She was friends with Hu Ruixue but she didn’t like her brother Hu Ruiyang much neither was she particularly interested in meeting Hu Ruixue’s parents.
Hu Ruixue respected her wish. They have time and, sooner or later, she would meet them.
