After the interview, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou had little to say to each other, and they didn't smile at each other.
Sun Xiaohao was the first to break the deadlock and asked Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou, "Dad, Mom, where are you staying this time?"
Zhan Jinhua replied, "Oh, don't mention it. In order to catch up with today's interview, we booked a midnight train ticket so that we can stay in the hotel for one less day and save some money.
We originally wanted to book the 5 a.m. high-speed train, which would arrive in just over two hours. But it's a lot more expensive than the regular train tickets. We don't mind a little extra money, but the difference of two hours means the train tickets for several people will cost a few hundred more. We save a little bit, and we're used to being frugal, so we can't bear to waste that money.
Sun Xiaohao rolled his eyes inwardly. This damn old woman had been talking about money all the time since the beginning of the interview, constantly looking for opportunities to complain about her poverty. He didn't know if she was truly that broke or just pretending. Anyway, when he met her over a decade ago, she was all slicked up and dressed in makeup, looking like a real person. Now she was wearing dusty clothes, probably to create a pauper persona, so he wouldn't ask her for money.
After hearing what Zhan Jinhua said to Sun Xiaohao, Yuan Jie couldn't help but retort, "During the live interview, I saved your face and didn't expose your lies in public. Now that the reporters have left, is there any need to hide this from your own son?
Do you know how we found your address? It was a lot of work. You own more than a dozen properties, so which one do you live in? It really took us a while to find it.
Oh my god, this old woman who always said she was from a poor countryside actually had so many assets? Shi Xuejiao couldn't believe her ears.
Shi Xuejiao, who had previously been indifferent to Zhan Jinhua, immediately changed her attitude and smiled flatteringly in front of Zhan Jinhua, "Mom, my wife and I are not the kind of people who are greedy for money. I just want my husband to find a suitable bone marrow donor as soon as possible to save his life. Although we don't have any special skills, we will try our best to find a way to pay for the treatment.
If that doesn't work, we can still ask the hospital for compensation. After all, they gave the wrong baby away, so they have to pay it no matter what. If you can get the family to come forward and match Xiaohao's blood type, we would be very grateful."
As she spoke, Shi Xuejiao burst into tears: "If it means my husband can survive, I will definitely save him even if I have to sell blood..."
Shi Xuejiao's parents, Shi Erguang and Li Chunfen, were delighted when they heard Yuan Jie's description of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou's assets. They immediately followed their daughter forward and flattered her, saying, "My dear in-laws, my dear mother-in-law, what a great fate it is for us to be able to become a family."
As she spoke, Li Chunfen pushed two children, all under two years old, in front of Zhan Jinhua and said, "Look at these two children. They're so cute and look so much like their grandmother. Three generations of you share the same face. Just imagine how amazing these genes are!"
Afterwards, Li Chunfen squatted down and said to the two children, "Grandma's two big darlings, you will have your grandparents to love you in the future. Aren't you happy?"
Shi Erguang also echoed: "These two children are lucky. Both sets of grandparents are rich. If nothing unexpected happens, the two children will never have to worry about food and drink in their lives. They are the lucky stars of our families, hahahaha..."
Li Chunfen and Shi Erguang's words sounded awkward to Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin. Although they had great affection for the two children, wasn't calling them "little lucky stars" a bit too much?
What's going on? The old man has money, is it because of the two babies? Sun Xiaohao has found his biological parents, and the two children have their own grandparents. Does that mean he still has to make selfless contributions to this family?
Especially when Qian and Zhan have such substantial assets, shouldn't they be held responsible? Does the Shi family intend to continue sucking blood from him?
Sun Xiaohao glanced at them casually and saw that Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin looked very unhappy at the moment, and he had already guessed the reason.
If you want these two people to continue to give to you unconditionally in the future, you can't act capriciously like before. Instead, you have to coax and flatter them, make them feel comfortable, and naturally more money will slip through your fingers into your pocket.
Sun Xiaohao quickly spoke up to smooth things over, saying to Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, "Mom, Dad, don't listen to their nonsense. I know you've spent a lot of time and effort on my illness, and you've spent a lot of money. I'll always remember all your kindness. If I could live a few more years, I would definitely do my best to repay your kindness in raising me."
"I was too ignorant before, I didn't know how to be considerate of you. After being taught a lesson by you last time, I thought a lot. I was really a piece of shit before. I didn't know how to cherish such good parents. Meeting you is the blessing I cultivated in my previous life. If there is an afterlife, I will work like a slave for you..."
After this series of flattery, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin's frowns gradually relaxed. This was the first time Sun Xiaohao had said such words to them in all these years, and they were quite touched, but also a little uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the child finally grew up, but died soon. If the Qian and Zhan families could take the initiative to save the child's life, they would not pursue the past and live in peace in the future.
In recent days, Sun Xiaohao didn't need to be hospitalized. After coaxing Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, he pulled them to a corner and whispered, "Dad, Mom, I think you feel the same way as I do. The parents over there don't seem to be very enthusiastic about donating bone marrow or paying. I wonder if it's because we haven't had enough contact and there's no emotional connection?"
Can I let them live in my house for a few days so I can build some relationship with them? Chenchen and Beibei are still so young, and I really don't feel safe leaving them like this. You paid for the house, so if you don't agree, I'll just let them stay in a hotel."
After hearing what he said, what else could Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin say? Besides, the couple only lived there during the day, and with them taking care of Sun Xiaohao, they could relax for a few days. If Sun Xiaohao developed a close relationship with them during these few days, it would also facilitate his treatment. Therefore, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin had no reason to object.
The two agreed with Sun Xiaohao's suggestion, and Yuan Jie even carefully instructed, "It's okay to let them stay, but your illness is quite special, so you have to pay more attention to your diet, daily necessities, and environment. You should know all the precautions better than anyone else, so don't be bothered to explain them to them."
My work has been delayed for a long time, and your father's restaurant also needs staff. If they can take good care of you, we will have more time to get our work back on track in the future."
