After waking up in the hospital, Liu Li paid a large sum of money and left the hospital with a lot of anger. When he got home, he found his parents sitting in the living room. The atmosphere was very heavy, and his mother was wiping away tears.
Liu Li was extremely annoyed, thinking the old couple were arguing again. He slammed the door shut impatiently and asked gruffly, "What is it now? I'm telling you, you two are so old, and you're arguing every three days and having a small argument every two days. Isn't it annoying?!"
After saying that, he frowned and glanced at Liu's mother. After their family became rich, his father had indeed become dishonest and had visited prostitutes several times. He, as the son, had even encountered them twice. However, he didn't think it was a big deal. Isn't this the kind of fun that men have when they have money? His mother was giving up her good life and was still jealous and arguing with his father at over sixty years old. How ridiculous!
Even if it was his own mother, he couldn't bear to see her old face crying and questioning, "How could you do this to me?" It was too much to bear.
Hearing her son's words, Liu's mother cried even louder: "It's all your father's fault, that old bastard! Not only did he mess around outside, but he also gambled! I told him to give me his money to keep for him, but he wouldn't. Now look what happened, he's lost it all! We're going to lose the house too! Waaaaaah! Why is my life so miserable!"
Liu Li was stunned for several seconds before he realized what his mother had said. He looked at his father, who was holding his head and not saying a word, incredulously: "Dad?? Is what Mom said true?"
Liu's father seemed not to hear him. Liu Li rushed forward and grabbed his father's wrist tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and asked, "Say something! Have you really gambled away all our family's money?"
Liu's father seemed not to hear anything, remaining silent and cowering like a quail, letting Liu Li shake him incessantly. Liu Li's mind was buzzing, and he rushed into his parents' room like a madman, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, constantly muttering, "Where's the bankbook? Where did you hide the bankbook? Where did you hide it!"
Liu's mother cried out, "What savings account! We don't have a single penny left, and we still owe someone over a million yuan. The casino wants to use our house as collateral..."
With a thud, Liu Li fainted again.
Tang Xiaoxiao, far away in City A, was completely unaware of the farce unfolding at the Liu family's home; she was on the phone with Han Yunqi.
The villa renovation is nearing completion, with only a few minor details remaining. In addition to the villa itself, she plans to build a glass conservatory in the yard, so she can sit and enjoy the view in winter. Although the scenery inside her space is even more beautiful, she believes that sharing is better than keeping it to herself, and the fact that her space cannot be known to outsiders diminishes some of the joy of sharing.
The layout of the courtyard was enough to reflect the owner's taste. Tang Xiaoxiao's expectations for the finished result of the courtyard renovation even exceeded those for the villa itself.
Tang Xiaoxiao explained her needs to Han Yunqi in detail over the phone. He also said he could buy some materials that Han Yunqi didn't have and send them over. Tang Xiaoxiao naturally didn't object, since he knew the other party wouldn't cheat her.
"It will probably take two days to prepare the goods. I will drive and deliver them to you in two days." After Han Yunqi agreed, the two hung up the phone. In the afternoon, the sky over Luoxia Town became gloomy, and a heavy rain poured down. Tang Xiaoxiao rarely let her mind go, and sat by the window quietly looking out. A spider web had appeared outside at some point, and it had become tattered and broken by the wind and rain. A rather large spider was hiding in the corner of the windowsill, occasionally moving its slender legs.
Unbeknownst to her, more than a year had passed since she was reborn.
