Chapter 123 Collapse

Lin Yi'an never expected that a so-called male lead would have such poor mental resilience.

She said, "What right does someone like that have to push you out and take your body?"

Zhou Mingshi's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Could it be a golden finger given to him by heaven?"

Lin Yi-an: "Even if he has a cheat code, he shouldn't be given it."

Zhou Mingshi raised an eyebrow: "I wonder if his dream gave him a warning that he would fall down the stairs and become crippled."

Lin Yi'an laughed: "I don't think so, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen down the stairs."

Zhou Mingshi: "It seems that this cheat code has both advantages and disadvantages; if used improperly, it can be a death warrant."

After he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

It's hard not to feel disgust towards someone who constantly wants to take over his body and possess everything about him.

Lin Yi'an opened her eyes slightly: "You're right. If he hadn't had those dreams, he might have lived a peaceful life. Although he wouldn't have been wealthy, at least he wouldn't have been disabled..."

Zhou Mingshi: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. With his mentality and ability, if he were to become me, the Zhou family would only face bankruptcy."

Lin Yi'an: "He always fantasized about becoming you, becoming the heir of the Zhou family. He even wrote in his diary about the things he would do after becoming you, like ignoring Zhou Mingyuan, divorcing me, taking back the shares I got from my parents, and marrying his white moonlight. When he suddenly heard that you were giving me the house, he lost his composure and panicked. Now that he's disabled, I don't know if he'll break down..."

collapse?

Sun Caijie has not only collapsed, he has gone mad.

Falling down the stairs is fine, but why become crippled? If he's crippled, why not use this opportunity to make him Zhou Mingshi?

He yelled and screamed from his hospital bed, blaming not only Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Jia, but also Sun Yurong: "Why do you have to get together all the time? What's wrong with missing a meal? Your whole family is a menace..."

If Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Jia hadn't been talking nonsense, how could he have fallen down the stairs?

He clearly remembered that he became Zhou Mingshi after a car accident. Now he couldn't move from the waist down. Could he still drive like this? Could he still get into a car accident?

He could have been very wealthy and powerful, but Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Jia ruined his life.

How could he not hate them? He hated them to the core.

Sun Yurong was initially heartbroken that he had been crippled and worried about his future, but after hearing his words, she knew that he was holding a grudge against her family, and she became angry as well.

She retorted, "You fell like this because we didn't push you, so how can you blame us? Besides, who doesn't have celebrations or entertain guests? Who told you not to be careful going down the stairs? Why did you fall when no one else did? What were you thinking when you were going down the stairs?"

For so many years, she has worked hard to support her family. She would lend them money whenever they asked. When her nephew said he was short of money to buy a car, she gave it to him without hesitation. But when something went wrong, the blame was placed on her.

She couldn't help but feel disheartened; all her years of effort had been in vain.

Upon hearing her words, Brother Sun hurriedly said, "Caijie fell like this, he's heartbroken, don't take it to heart."

He couldn't afford to offend his sister; his son was crippled and would have to rely on her in the future, so he could only appease her.

Sun Yurong snorted, "Forget it, he's already like this, how can I lower myself to his level? He's still my nephew, after all. Sigh, it breaks my heart to see him like this, I can't bear to see him like this..."

After all, he was her nephew whom she had doted on for many years, and now he was disabled. Even if he said a few words to her, she couldn't just ignore him.

Sister-in-law Sun came in from outside with the payment slip in her hand: "Dad, the hospital is urging us to pay the bill. Go pay it, I'll stay with our son."

Brother Sun stood there awkwardly, clutching the order form. His family business had been struggling for over a year, and the warehouse was overflowing with goods. Last month, he borrowed two million yuan from his sister. Part of it went to pay salaries, part to pay off debts, and part to cover daily expenses. Where would he get the money?

He looked at Sun Yurong: "Yurong, our family business isn't doing well, we don't have much money. You're my only sister, so I can only ask you for help..."

My sister spends tens of thousands of yuan on a single piece of clothing for that pretty boy, and hundreds of thousands on a single bag. The money she spends on a single piece of clothing for that pretty boy doesn't even cover my nephew's medical expenses. She doesn't just lend money; she'd give it to him directly if she were feeling generous.

Sun Yurong's expression stiffened: "I'm divorced now, I have no income, and the money in my card is dwindling with every penny I spend. I don't have much money left."

Brother Sun didn't believe her at all and asked disappointedly, "Do you think Caijie is beyond help now, so you don't want to take care of him anymore?"

Sun Yurong: "I really don't have any money." If she had money, she would definitely lend it to them.

Sun Caijie slowly clenched his fist, his nails digging into his palm. He felt no pain at all, and secretly vowed that when he became Zhou Ming, he would not let go of anyone who looked down on him, especially Zhou Mingyuan.

Brother Sun pleaded, "Why don't you ask Mingyuan and Jiajia? Caijie can't be delayed here..."

Sun Yurong sighed: "I'll ask Mingyuan."

Zhou Mingyuan did have money, but he didn't want to lend it. Sun Yurong advised, "After all, he fell in our house. Let's not lend too much; let's just cover the immediate medical and surgical expenses first..."

In the end, Zhou Mingyuan only transferred 100,000 yuan to her.

Sun Caijie was being treated at a private hospital, and the medical expenses were expensive; 100,000 yuan was simply not enough. Sun Yurong then called Zhou Jia. When Zhou Jia heard that her third brother had borrowed 100,000 yuan, she borrowed 100,000 yuan as well, out of respect for her uncle and aunt.

Looking at the 200,000 yuan transferred from his sister's account, Brother Sun realized the difference between his sister before and after the divorce. Before the divorce, whenever he asked his sister for money, she would transfer him at least 200,000 yuan. Now that his nephew was hospitalized and needed money, she actually had to borrow from her nephew and niece. It seemed that she really didn't have much money left.

Thinking of this, he panicked a little. He used to borrow money from his sister when he was short of money, and it had become a habit over the years. Now that his sister was also short of money, who should he borrow from?

Knowing that Sun Caijie was disabled, Zhou Kanghui said to Zhou Jia, "Your mother is shrewd and calculating, but she's completely devoted to your uncle. He often borrows money from her, and over the years, I don't know how much he's borrowed, but I've never seen him pay it back. When your mother and I divorced, she should have had over 20 million yuan in savings. Now that we're divorced, she's so smart; she definitely won't be as extravagant as before. She can live on her own for a few more years. You don't need to worry about her asking you for money now..."

Lin Yi'an was reading a book, and Zhou Mingshi was sitting next to her drinking tea. Upon hearing this, he said calmly, "It's not necessarily true that two people can afford it."

Zhou Kanghui looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Mingshi left with just one sentence and then fell silent.

Zhou Jia actually knew her mother had found a boyfriend. She had seen her mother shopping with him, and she even secretly followed them for a while. Her mother and the man were very intimate; they even shared a cup of coffee...

Zhou Kanghui then asked, "What did you mean just now?"

Seeing that her second brother remained silent, Zhou Jia pursed her lips and whispered, "My mom found a boyfriend."

Zhou Kanghui's eyes widened: "We've only been divorced for a short time, and she's already found a boyfriend?"

Was the movement that fast?

Zhou Jia: "It should be, it should be right after you got divorced, that's when she started looking for someone, right?"

After she finished speaking, she shrank back, not daring to look at him at all.

Zhou Kanghui's face flushed with anger: "It seems your mother has absolutely no feelings for me except for money! She can't wait to find someone new right after the divorce..."

"No, even if she were to find someone else, it wouldn't be that quick. Could she have already found someone before she was even divorced?"

Zhou Jia: "It shouldn't be. My mom's boyfriend is very young, he looks to be only around thirty years old."

Zhou Kanghui: "...Heh, she even found a young one, I really didn't expect that...Looks like she was secretly complaining about how old I am..."

Zhou Jia kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Zhou Kanghui grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slammed his hand on the table, startling Lin Yi'an, who was reading a book.

Zhou Mingshi quickly patted her back and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Zhou Mingshi glanced at Zhou Kanghui.

Zhou Kanghui chuckled awkwardly, "I'm just angry..."

"Angry?" Zhou Mingshi scoffed. "It seems you don't have a clear enough understanding of yourself."

Zhou Kanghui angrily replied, "I am very clear about my own situation."

Zhou Mingshi looked at him and said, "Besides money, what other qualities do you have that are worth keeping?"

Zhou Kanghui: "........."

He thought about it carefully, and indeed, there really wasn't.

Zhou Mingshi: "So what's there to be angry about?"

Zhou Kanghui: "......."
