Chapter 16: Beautiful Stepmother vs. Stepson's Two-Way Redemption (16)

“If it were just about money, we would be willing to sell everything we own. But the condition has worsened. By the time we found a kidney donor, most of the cancer cells had spread. If we could have been there five days earlier, there would still be a 50% chance. We are here to pray, not for money, but just to increase our chances of having the surgery.”

"5 days earlier?"

Yun Lian was overjoyed. With the recovery, her body could return to the state it was in a week ago. Didn't that mean the chances of the surgery being successful had increased significantly?

"Yes, now we just hope that the gods and Buddhas can have a change of heart and give my son a little more chance."

Yun Lian took out her phone.

"How about we make a bet? Longshan Temple is very efficacious; perhaps your wishes have already been heard by the gods."

I'll give you two million. If your son's surgery is successful, your whole family will work for me for three years and you won't have to pay me back.

"If... I'll forgo the money. How about it, dare to gamble?"

"really?"

It's a deal.

hotel.

Huo Ye couldn't remember how many times he had been to Yun Lian's room.

There was never any reaction.

Huo Ye only got up when his phone sent him a notification of a charge.

Is Yun Lian not in the room?

"Yun Lian, where are you?"

Huo Ye dialed the phone, and looking at the lunch that had been prepared in advance next to him, he felt particularly annoyed.

"I went to the hospital to do a good deed today."

Yun Lian learned about the family's situation in detail at the hospital, and learned that the only thing they hadn't sold was their old house; they had sold everything else they could.

The reason the house hasn't been sold is that it's too remote and no one wants it for the time being.

They have lowered the price repeatedly.

However, very few people can come up with such a large sum of money at once.

As Huo Ye listened to Yun Lian's cheerful voice, he couldn't help but recall her time at the bar, where she had also been a good person, inviting a bunch of people to drink and even reading their palms and abs.

Could it be that she's keeping a lover?

He was secretly angry, but his speech remained gentle and polite.

"Huo Yuan is home. Do you want to come home with me, kind man?"

"Huo Yuan?"

Her legendary second son is a genius e-sports player; just thinking about it is exciting.

A son like that shouldn't have any worries, right?

"Okay, where are you? I'll come find you."

"I'm almost back to my hotel room. Just come to the hotel and find me. I'm staying next door to you."

Yun Lian arrived quickly, and Huo Ye, with his keen sense of smell, instantly detected the unique temple-like scent emanating from her.

It also smelled of disinfectant.

Where exactly did she go?

How can someone who has nothing to do be busier than someone with a job?

Huo Ye took the suitcase from Yun Lian. The suitcase was very light, probably containing only a few sets of clothes.

"Huo Ye, have you finished your work?"

"Hmm, do you want to play some more?"

"No, no, I don't think there's anything fun around here."

There are too many people suffering, it's really depressing to see.

Huo Ye's long, slender fingers, gripping the suitcase handle, give the illusion that he's walking the runway.

The suitcases instantly look high-end.

Seeing the half of his wrist that was exposed, Yun Lian remembered that she had asked for a bracelet for each of the three brothers on the mountain.

"This is a gift for you. See if you like it."

Yun Lian asked him for a cinnabar bracelet, symbolizing wealth and prosperity, a gold-threaded pumpkin bracelet, and an agate safety buckle bracelet.

The other two are for ensuring safety.

Huo Ye immediately took off his watch, which was worth 30 million, and put on the Yunlian bracelet instead.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

"If they like it, that's good. The other two skewers would also suit them well."

Lying in the car, Yun Lian suddenly remembered that there was one thing she hadn't done on the mountain: she had gone to the Guanyin Temple to find the water that could help one get pregnant.

Yun Lian angrily banged her head against the seat.

Huo Ye asked, "Did you leave something behind?"

Yun Lian looked miserable: "I bought the string of pearls, hung up the red ribbons, and watched the sunrise, but how could I forget the most important thing?"

"I haven't had any water yet, Huo Ye. Why don't you go back first, and I'll come back after I've had some water?"

Huo Ye gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Did she go to the temple with other people?

She was trying to deliberately shake him off.

No way.

"I'm not in a hurry, how about I come with you?"

Yun Lian nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay! Waaah, Huo Ye, I love you to death, thank you."

As long as the problem of having children in Yun Kingdom can be solved, she will definitely burn more money for Huo Ye in the future so that he can continue to be a CEO even in the underworld.

Huo Ye's lips tightened and then curved slightly: "You're welcome."

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, Yun Lian tried to rush to the top without stopping, but Huo Ye stopped her in time.

"You've been working hard all day, do you want to eat something first, so you don't run out of energy and can't climb up?"

Yun Lian waved her hand directly: "No need, I'm in great physical condition."

A woman cannot say "no".

Huo Ye quietly bought some bread and milk at the foot of the mountain.

In just a short while, Huo Ye was left far behind by her.

Huo Ye, dressed in a sharp suit, stood in stark contrast to the lightly dressed hikers, attracting considerable attention along the way.

When Yun Lian climbed halfway up the mountain and stopped to wait for Huo Ye, she couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Huo Ye, shall I wait for you at the top of the mountain?"

Huo Ye took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned three buttons on his shirt, and rolled up the sleeves.

"No need, don't worry, I definitely won't let you leave me behind."

"I hope your will is as strong as your mouth."

The journey took almost an hour, as the temple was very high with 1,080 steps and some unpaved paths that took more than ten minutes to walk up.

When they arrived at the temple, Yunlian's legs were almost weak; she was too tired.
