Chapter 198 Useless at the crucial moment
Qiao Xing subconsciously put her phone in her pocket, smiled at him, and said, "It's been a few telemarketing calls."
Qin Ce shifted his gaze to her face, but didn't say anything. He nodded slightly and said, "Let's go eat."
"good."
Qiao Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got into the car.
But the thought of Lin Yu made her feel annoyed again. Qin Ce was always bothered by all the trivial matters around her. What if he knew that Lin Yu was also harassing her?
I wonder what he's thinking, after all, Lin Yu is different from her relatives; he's her ex-boyfriend.
No current partner would be completely indifferent to their ex...
Qiao Xing was at a loss as to how to resolve this matter. Did he really have to help him reconcile with Fang Ya before he would let him go?
On the other end, Lin Yu saw that Qiao Xing had hung up on him again, and he was so angry that his face turned green.
This damn woman is taking him less and less seriously now. Thinking back to how she used to reply to his messages and answer his calls instantly, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
He drove his car to the used car market yesterday, and they were only willing to give him 80,000 yuan. He bought the new car for 150,000 yuan, and they only offered him 80,000 yuan!
Lin Yu was so angry that he drove the car back. This morning, he went out again and looked around several secondhand markets. It seemed like these people were in cahoots, offering either 80,000 or 90,000 yuan.
The hospital was also pressing him for payment, threatening to sue him if he didn't pay soon. Lin Yu was a proud man, and he couldn't allow himself to be so humiliated.
If others find out that he's being sued for owing medical bills, he can forget about working in Chongqing anymore, and who knows what people at the company will think of him.
Fang Ya also blocked him. Now that he can't raise that much money, he can only try to get it from Qiao Xing.
but!
He never expected Qiao Xing to become so ruthless. She was nothing like before, when she was always meek and submissive when she was with him, never arguing with him no matter what he said.
Lin Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Just then, the doctor came in again, smiling, and asked him, "Mr. Lin, when will you be able to pay your medical bill?"
Lin Yu was still angry, and he said irritably, "What's the rush! I'm still here, aren't I? Can't you afford to keep your hospital running?"
The doctor wasn't annoyed and continued to smile: "We're just following the rules, so Mr. Lin, when do you plan to pay? Just tell me a specific time, and I won't have to come and ask every day."
Lin Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. With so many people around, he couldn't continue to lash out. He suppressed his anger and said, "Don't come looking for me for the next three days!"
"Okay, I'll come see you again the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yu angrily cursed at his back, then noticed that everyone around him was staring at him.
They seemed unable to imagine that such a respectable-looking person could be unable to pay medical bills and have such a terrible attitude.
If they couldn't afford the medical bills, they would have to beg and plead with the doctor. How could they dare to be so arrogant?
Undeterred, Lin Yu called Qiao Xing again, but unfortunately, Qiao Xing had blocked his number once more.
Lin Yu sat on the hospital bed, his expression constantly changing. He was so angry that he wanted to throw his phone, but then he remembered that he had no money and slowly lowered his hand.
So he changed his clothes and left the hospital.
He went directly to Fang Ya's house.
Fang Ya's home is in a villa area, which is full of high-end villas. Luckily, he knew her address when he bought her a gift before, otherwise it would have been quite difficult to find Fang Ya's home among all these identical houses.
Meanwhile, Fang Ya's home was also deathly quiet. Fang Sheng sat on the sofa sighing all day long, and Fang Ya didn't dare to make him angry. She hadn't left the house for the past few days.
Seeing him sitting there, smoking one cigarette after another, Fang Ya's mother couldn't help but ask, "Honey, are there any results yet?"
Fang Sheng's eyes were stinging from the smoke. He squinted, a cigarette between his fingers, and said, "No."
"Didn't you pull some strings last time? Why hasn't it been resolved yet?"
Fang Sheng said quietly, "What do you mean? That old man always brags about how invincible he is, but he didn't solve a single problem."
It's a shame that he tried so hard to curry favor with people and gave so many gifts, but it was all for nothing when it mattered most.
"What should we do then?"
"Let's wait and see." Fang Sheng sighed and took another drag of his cigarette. "Anyway, we've done everything we could. Right now, it's just a business suspension for investigation. Let's see when Qin Ce will give in."
"You mean he's just going to keep blocking you like this? If this drags on for a year or two, our hotel will go out of business."
Fang Sheng sighed again, "Who knows? It's better for the hotel to go bankrupt than to go to jail."
It's clear he's given up entirely. This outcome is only possible because he pulled some strings; without them, he'd probably be wearing a silver bracelet by now.
Old Zheng had said before that this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve. Qin Ce had given him face, so how things would go next depended on his mood.
The whole family looked worried and upset, and someone was ringing the doorbell outside.
Fang Ya immediately ran to open the door and found Lin Yu standing outside with a fruit basket. Her face instantly darkened.
What are you doing here?
Lin Yu gave what he thought was a very gentle smile. "I came to see you and also to pay my respects to your uncle and aunt."
"Who wants your visit? Get lost! I'm annoyed just looking at you!"
Fang Ya was about to slam the door shut when Lin Yu, quick as a flash, grabbed it. "Xiao Ya, what's wrong? Did Qiao Xing say something to you? I can explain. Don't believe that woman. She just can't stand to see us doing well!"
Fang Ya laughed in anger. Before she could speak, Fang Sheng came out of the house, grabbed a broom from somewhere, and smashed it down on Lin Yu without saying a word.
"So you're the one who's been bothering my daughter, aren't you? You actually dare to come here? Perfect timing, I'll beat you to death today!"
The broom was placed on Lin Yu's arm. His injury hadn't fully healed yet, and this blow made Lin Yu scream in pain.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" Lin Yu staggered a couple of steps away, dropping the fruit in his hand to the ground, scattering it everywhere. He even stepped on an apple and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
"Shut up!" Fang Sheng pointed his broom at him. "Don't try to pull any strings with me. I'm telling you, kid, if you dare to harass my daughter again, I'll beat you to death!"
Lin Yu clutched his arm, a flash of resentment in his eyes, but he managed to suppress it well.
He said, feeling wronged, "Uncle, Xiaoya and I are truly in love, you..."
"How dare you say that!" Fang Sheng angrily grabbed a broom and rushed out. Lin Yu naturally didn't dare to stand there and let him hit him, so he turned his head to dodge.
"Uncle..." Lin Yu called out as he dodged, unwilling to give up.
Fang Sheng was instantly furious. He rushed forward, wishing he could beat Lin Yu to death.
As a result, he didn't notice his footing, stepped on an apple on the ground, slipped, and fell straight down.
"dad!"
