3218 How Much Do You Want to Borrow?
Leng Xiaoyao understood that Wang Xiangyang was scared right now, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t return. After all, Old Mrs. Wang was behind his back.
Old Mrs. Wang was Wang Yiming’s mother, so it was useless even if they called the police if she came to make things difficult for him. Besides, Wang Yiming’s reputation would be affected by then.
Once Wang Xiangyang left, Wang Yiming and his wife were relieved. Although they knew that Wang Xiangyang wouldn’t really hit him no matter how terrible he was, they were still furious upon hearing his words.
“Thank you so much.” Wang Yiming thanked Leng Xiaoyao and the other students. He was especially grateful to Leng Xiaoyao because Leng Xiaoyao had saved his life.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Wang.” Leng Xiaoyao said, “Oh, this is our good wishes for you.”
Leng Xiaoyao took out a red envelope and gave it to Wang Yiming. They brought him the students’ donation along with fruits and milk.
The moment Wang Yiming saw the thick red envelope, he rejected it. “I can accept the fruits and milk, but not the red envelope.”
He understood that the students in his class were from either rich or powerful families. There must be a lot of money in the red envelope, so he couldn’t take it.
“Sir, please take it. We hope you recover quickly. If you don’t accept it, we’ll be hurt. This task was assigned to me. If you refuse to take it, I’ll disappoint all the classmates and they’ll blame me.” Leng Xiaoyao directly squeezed the red envelope into Wang Yiming’s palm. She didn’t give Wang Yiming any chance to reject it.
“Well…”
Because Leng Xiaoyao said that, Wang Yiming was in a dilemma.
“Mr. Wang, please take it.”
“Right, there isn’t much money. It just represents our good wishes for you.”
“Right!”
The other students chimed in.
“If so, thank you all!” Because Wang Yiming didn’t want to disappoint them, he accepted the red envelope in the end.
Although the students in Class 8 were all bad at studying and were troublesome, they got along harmoniously these past few years.
That happened mainly because Wang Yiming didn’t dare to restrict them and let them do whatever they wanted to. Therefore, they didn’t bother to make things difficult for him.
Leng Xiaoyao and the other students left after staying in the ward for a while, because they needed to attend classes in the afternoon.
…
Wang Xiangyang called Old Mrs. Wang right after leaving the hospital. He made up a story of what had happened in the ward and told his mother.
He said that Wang Yiming refused to give him money and Wang Yiming’s students swore and beat him, but Wang Yiming did nothing.
Old Mrs. Wang was aware that Wang Xiangyang made up the story, but it had probably happened similarly. Otherwise, Wang Xiangyang wouldn’t be so angry. Therefore, Old Mrs. Wang was furious too.
After having the call with Wang Xiangyang, Old Mrs. Wang immediately called Wang Yiming.
Wang Yiming understood why Old Mrs. Wang called him, but he still answered it.
Without surprise, once he picked up, Old Mrs. Wang criticized him heavily. “Yiming, I heard your students beat Xiangyang in the ward and even threatened him. Why didn’t you do anything? He’s your younger brother! Why didn’t you help him?”
“Do you even know what he did to me? I’m injured and in the hospital right now. I badly need money for my treatment, but he asked me for fifty thousand yuan as soon as he came. I don’t have so much money to give him. I only get ten thousand yuan every month. I give you a monthly allowance of two thousand yuan and I still need to pay for the car and house loan. I barely have any money left. We are barely affording our living expenses. We don’t have twenty thousand yuan, let alone fifty thousand yuan. You always ask me for everything, but have you ever cared about my life?” Wang Yiming complained in anger. “My students couldn’t stand it and argued with him. He wanted to hit her. Everyone saw it. Luckily, the girl is good at kung fu and wasn’t hurt by him. Let me tell you, my student didn’t injure him at all. She only grabbed his hand. There are surveillance cameras in the ward. All my students are from either rich or powerful families. None of them are easy to bully. It’s normal that they threatened Xiangyang. Do you want them to chase Wang Xiangyang out of City Chang with their families’ connections?”
Hearing that, Old Mrs. Wang was struck dumb. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
Hearing that Wang Xiangyang had offended those rich and powerful heirs, Old Mrs. Wang was scared. Fortunately, Wang Xiangyang didn’t injure anyone, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to live in City Chang any longer.
After all, they were ordinary people and could not go against powerful people.
However, Old Mrs. Wang was still unwilling to give up. “You could have persuaded him to stop!”
“Don’t you know Wang Xiangyang’s character? Would he listen to me?” Wang Xiangyang retorted instead.
Old Mrs. Wang was silent.
That was true, so she didn’t continue to argue with Wang Yiming.
“Alright, since you don’t have money right now, I’ll borrow some from your uncle. You can help me return it after you have received the compensation,” Old Mrs. Wang said.
Wang Xiangyang didn’t really have a job. He made a little money with his friends by doing tasks sometimes. Accordingly, the two thousand yuan Wang Yiming gave him was only enough for daily expenses. Old Mrs. Wang also didn’t have any money.
She stumbled and was in the hospital now, but it wasn’t serious. It would only cost her several thousand yuan.
She told Wang Xiangyang to ask Wang Yiming for more money simply to have some savings.
However, she only told Wang Xiangyang to ask Wang Yiming for twenty thousand yuan, but Wang Xiangyang wanted fifty thousand yuan. It was understandable that Wang Yiming was furious when Wang Xiangyang asked for so much money at this moment.
However, Old Mrs. Wang still didn’t blame Wang Xiangyang because he was her biological son.
“How much do you plan to borrow?” asked Wang Yiming. He remembered that Wang Xiangyang just asked him for fifty thousand yuan. If he didn’t make it clear, he would definitely be trapped.
“Twenty thousand yuan for the time being. If it’s not enough, I’ll borrow more at that time,” Old Mrs. Wang said.
“I can call uncle and ask him to see you. He can pay for your medical fees first. I’ll pay him back then,” Wang Yiming said. Wang Xiangyang asked him for fifty thousand yuan, while Old Mrs. Wang said she needed twenty thousand yuan. Wang Yiming figured out what they actually wanted to do!
He should take care of his mother since his mother was in the hospital, but he was in trouble now too.
During these years, he supported Old Mrs. Wang and Wang Xiangyang all the time and his own family was affected. His wife was also unhappy about that mainly because it was never enough. However, Wang Yiming didn’t know what else he could do.
He could leave Wang Xiangyang behind, but he had to look after Old Mrs. Wang. As long as he couldn’t leave Old Mrs. Wang, he couldn’t get rid of Wang Xiangyang.
Old Mrs. Wang was displeased. “What do you mean? Do you think I’ll cheat you out of your money?”
