Chapter 206: Leaving the near for the distant
Xu Lengyu's lips twitched involuntarily as she looked at Yuan Yangyang with suspicion, somewhat speechless.
Yuan Yangyang really dares to dream of a national-level nursing home.
She could guarantee that her father had absolutely no intention of retiring there when he did this.
Honestly, who would want to retire in jail?
Isn't the outside world more appealing?
Only someone with Yuan Yangyang's unique way of thinking would have such an idea!
How is this head structured? I really want to cut it open and see if its structure is different from others.
"What kind of look is that?" Yuan Yangyang felt uneasy under Xu Lengyu's gaze.
I have a feeling that it's a bit creepy.
Xu Lengyu: "It's nothing. I was just surprised to hear so much about my dad."
Yuan Yangyang looked Xu Lengyu up and down, and was somewhat skeptical of what Xu Lengyu had said.
Surprised? She seemed pretty calm!
But then I thought, Xu Lengyu should be the kind of person who keeps a low profile.
Perhaps they were surprised inside, but just didn't show it.
That makes sense.
In the courtyard, Han Fei's weakness was clearly exploited by Du Yan.
He pointed at Du Yan and uttered a string of harsh words, displaying a moment of impotent rage.
Then he turned and left without even going inside.
Watching Han Fei leave cursing, she looked at Du Yan in the courtyard, who seemed triumphant as if she had won a battle.
Yuan Yangyang suddenly had an idea.
[Du Yan and Han Fei have completely broken up. Judging from Du Yan's behavior, it's hard to say whether she truly loved Han Fei or was just after his money.]
If someone were to run up to her right now and tell her to hand over the evidence against Han Fei in exchange for a reduced sentence for her son, Du Yan would probably hand it over without hesitation!
[Xu Junhao wants Han's shares, right? If he uses Han Fei's incriminating evidence in exchange, Han Fei, unless he's stupid, would choose to give up the shares rather than go to jail!]
Yuan Yangyang glanced at Xu Lengyu, whose expression was inscrutable, and sighed inwardly.
[Forget it, I'd better not give any advice. Xu Junhao almost got into trouble; it would be hard for him to accept signing a letter of forgiveness!]
Yuan Yangyang thought about it and prepared to leave with Xu Lengyu.
After all, the main characters have left, and this show should come to an end.
Unexpectedly, Xu Lengyu walked straight out and pushed open the door to enter the courtyard.
"Xu Lengyu? What brings you here?"
Du Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her.
Xu Lengyu walked in unhurriedly and with an air of nonchalance, looking so relaxed that anyone who didn't know better would think she was strolling through her own backyard.
He commented, "Your place is too shabby. Don't you even hire craftsmen to maintain it? You've been with my dad for so many years, he shouldn't have mistreated you!"
Look how desolate this place is! Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd been banished to the cold palace!
A flash of jealousy crossed Du Yan's face, and a bitter feeling welled up inside her.
God is really unfair.
Why is it that some people are born with everything?
She worked hard for half her life just so she could live a life of luxury.
But now.
Looking back, I realized I hadn't gained anything.
The daughter wouldn't listen to her, and the son ended up in that terrible state.
Men, huh, not only are they unreliable, they're probably thinking about how to cause her trouble right now.
Finished!
As if struck by a thought, Du Yan looked up in a panic, her voice trembling as she asked.
"when did you come?"
Seeing the wariness and suspicion on Du Yan's face, Xu Lengyu felt relieved.
With her lips slightly parted, she uttered without any attempt to conceal what Du Yan was most worried about.
"You mean to ask if I heard you threatening my dad, right?"
Du Yan's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned deathly pale.
Xu Lengyu: "Don't worry!"
“I heard every single word!”
Looking at Du Yan's expression, Xu Lengyu added, "Isn't it a bit too late to worry now?"
"Instead of worrying about me, shouldn't you be more worried about my dad?"
"Don't worry, even if I knew all this, I wouldn't do anything."
Hearing Xu Lengyu say this, Du Yan breathed a sigh of relief and felt somewhat at ease.
But it only made me feel a little relieved.
After all, entrusting secrets to someone else for safekeeping is not something that people can feel at ease with.
Xu Lengyu added, "But my dad is different. If you threaten him with these things, he won't let you off the hook!"
"I should worry about how he might retaliate against me!"
Du Yan was suffering inside, but she couldn't say it in front of Xu Lengyu and could only force herself to endure it.
With a cold face, she replied, "You don't need to worry about that, Xu Lengyu. Go back to where you came from, and leave my house now!"
Xu Lengyu was puzzled.
"Is this really your home? I just heard my dad say that if you upset him, he'll kick you out of here!"
“I’m also very curious about how deep your feelings are for my dad. You’ve been by his side for so many years, working hard without asking for a house or shares. It’s not easy for my dad to find such a selfless person as you.”
Yuan Yangyang listened outside the gate, her lips twitching involuntarily.
Seeing Du Yan's constipated appearance made him even happier.
[Ouch, that hurts! It's not that she doesn't want those things; it's clearly your dad who's keeping them tightly under wraps and refusing to give them to her!]
[Speaking of Du Yan, she's really had a tough time. Over the years, besides a little pocket money, a few pieces of jewelry, and some pretty clothes, she probably hasn't lost anything.]
[A person with ambition might plan ahead and save some money, but judging from Du Yan's behavior, she probably spends all the money she gets immediately and won't be able to save anything.]
[Besides, it's been so long, and there isn't a single servant in the yard. Could it be that she exhausted all her savings to save her son, and now she doesn't even have the money to hire a servant?]
It has to be said, Yuan Yangyang is right.
Since her son went to jail, Du Yan has been exhausted and her temper has gotten worse.
Whenever she gets angry, she takes it all out on the servants in the house.
I used to tolerate it because of the salary.
As a result, in order to free up money to save her son and save expenses, Du Yan came up with the idea of cutting back on the servants' wages.
With a single word, he cut the servant's salary in half.
All the servants quit their jobs.
Du Yan did not look for her again.
On the contrary, because I save a lot of money every month, I feel it's quite a good deal.
After all, they all resigned voluntarily, so they didn't even need to be given compensation.
But it saved her a lot of money.
But now Du Yan has some regrets.
If she had known that Xu Lengyu would laugh at her, she would have sold the jewelry instead of skimping on the servants' money.
Seeing Du Yan's increasingly unpleasant expression, it was clear that his patience was wearing thin.
Xu Lengyu felt the time was right and then revealed her ultimate goal.
"I heard you've been pulling strings everywhere to save your son. You must have spent all the savings you've accumulated over the years!"
"I don't know what you're thinking, but as long as my brother doesn't give in, you'll beg anyone."
"Instead of going to great lengths, you might as well ask me. If I just ask, my brother's letter of forgiveness will be a piece of cake!"
Du Yan: "You'd be willing to help me? Are you kidding me!"
