That's how it is.

After giving a brief account of his situation, Wang Qian urged, "If there's nothing else, hurry up and pack your things so we can hit the road together."

"Alright!"

Lin Chao nodded. "Then I'll go tell Yuanyuan that we'll leave tomorrow morning."

After arranging a time with Lin Chao, Wang Qian returned to the city hospital, told his parents to go home first, and then took care of Lu Aiting alone at the hospital.

After all, he was his maternal uncle, and it was only natural for him to take care of him when Lu Chengfeng wasn't around.

Of course, it's mainly voluntary.

Otherwise, he could simply pretend to be powerless, and the matter would then be none of his concern.

His parents originally wanted to go with him, but Wang Qian persuaded them to go back.

After all, his parents were unfamiliar with the city and completely clueless about hospital procedures. Going there would not only be of no help, but he would also have to spend more energy taking care of the two elderly people's daily lives.

It wasn't that he was unwilling, but the purpose of going to Linjiang City was to take his uncle Lu Aiting to get medical treatment, not to go on a trip.

His parents knew that going along would only be a burden to Wang Qian, so they didn't insist.

...

the next day.

Lin Chao and Zhou Yuanyuan got up very early.

The two are now completely honest with each other, and there are no more barriers or shadows between them.

Therefore, all the previous unpleasantness has become a thing of the past. Lin Chao no longer holds grudges, and Zhou Yuanyuan is finally able to face things calmly.

However, just as the two opened for business, two uninvited guests arrived.

Why are you here again?

Upon seeing the two figures standing outside the door, Zhou Yuanyuan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by endless coldness.

Standing outside the door were two elderly people.

The elderly man was tall and thin with prominent cheekbones, and looked like he had suffered from long-term malnutrition; he was so thin that he looked like skin and bones.

As for the other elderly woman, she was thin, hunched over, and had a face full of wrinkles.

The two stood at the shop entrance, smiles on their lips, their eyes burning with passion.

"Yuanyuan, we are still your parents, do you dislike us that much?"

Zhou Quanfu feigned deep sorrow, "You work here, so it's not even allowed for us to come and see you?"

"Enough!"

Zhou Yuanyuan flew into a rage, "What else do you want?"

She made everything clear yesterday.

I originally thought that as long as I gave her a fixed amount of 500 yuan every month until I reached 20,000 yuan, I could completely sever ties with her parents.

Unexpectedly, her parents came to her door again just the next day.

Without a doubt, they'll come looking for trouble again.

“Yuanyuan, we thought about it after we got back yesterday and we felt like we were being taken advantage of.”

Chen Jingying grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, "You only give us five hundred a month. If we encounter any unexpected situations in the future, five hundred yuan won't be enough to solve the problem."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao's eyes widened immediately.

He cast an inquiring glance at Zhou Yuanyuan.

Didn't Zhou Yuanyuan say yesterday that she would only give him 100 yuan a month?

How did it become five hundred when it came from Chen Jingying's mouth?

Feeling Lin Chao's surprised gaze, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Not wanting her parents to reveal more, she quickly said, "We're about to open for business, don't let this affect our business. Let's talk somewhere else."

After saying that, she strode off down the street into the distance.

"Yuanyuan, wait a minute!"

Lin Chao hurriedly chased after him.

But before she could take a few steps, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly turned around and said, "I'll handle this myself. You stay here and watch the shop. When Zhao Xiuchun arrives, you can go to Linjiang City with the boss."

Zhao Xiuchun is one of their newly hired sales clerks.

However, it's not working hours yet, so they usually open the door first, and then Zhao Xiuchun arrives before they do other things.

"this……"

Lin Chao looked extremely unwilling.

From the conversation just now, he had realized that Zhou Yuanyuan had lied to him again.

Perhaps it was out of good intentions, not wanting him to worry.

But the more this was the case, the less he wanted Zhou Yuanyuan to face it alone.

"We're not going anywhere!"

Just as Lin Chao was in a dilemma, Chen Jingying snorted coldly, "Say what you have to say here, in front of everyone."

Zhou Quanfu hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, call your boss Wang Qian over. Your mother and I want to talk to him in person."

"Are you guys never going to stop?"

Zhou Yuanyuan became even angrier.

But seeing Chen Jingying and Zhou Quanfu's nonchalant attitude, she felt somewhat helpless.

She can't get rid of her, and calling the police would make her seem heartless. She's really in a dilemma.

"Yuanyuan, how could you say that?"

Chen Jingying feigned resentment, "I'm your mother. We just want to have a proper talk with you. As long as you give us what we want, we promise we won't bother you again."

"What else do you want?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked through gritted teeth.

"Call your boss, Wang Qian, over here first!"

Chen Jingying sat down on the ground and said in a rogue-like tone, "It's pointless to say anything more to you. We're only going to talk to your boss face to face today. If he doesn't come, I'll just sit here and not leave."

Zhou Quanfu stood at the shop entrance, arms crossed, chin raised, "Either call your boss Wang Qian over, or we'll wait here."

"you……"

Zhou Yuanyuan was furious on the spot.

Faced with such shameless parents, she was heartbroken and truly felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

Beside him, Lin Chao was equally dumbfounded.
