Chapter 99 Courage
Fang Lanxin had only been away for about ten days when she noticed that the area was more bustling than before, with even more small vendors and hawkers, indicating that the port was developing rapidly.
After sitting down, Ling Ye didn't hesitate at all and handed the menu to Fang Lanxin: "Order whatever you like, it's on me!"
In the port city, the line of people who want to treat Fang Lanxin to a meal could stretch from this pier all the way to France, but Ling Ye is probably the only one willing to treat her to a street food stall.
Seeing Ling Ye's generous and open manner, Fang Lanxin couldn't help but smile and then nodded before ordering.
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin always believed in the way of health preservation and almost never ate oily and salty foods. But now that she has been reborn, Fang Lanxin has realized that the five flavors of life are all in these heavy flavors. If you miss out on these delicious foods, there is no point in living.
Ling Ye was initially worried that Fang Lanxin might not be used to this environment, but to his surprise, she seemed to be very familiar with it, as if she had been here many times before.
"Madam, do you usually come to places like this to eat?" Ling Ye asked Fang Lanxin with some curiosity.
Fang Lan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It was about twenty years ago. At that time, I had just taken over the Huo family. Many people were not convinced, especially the low-level workers. They looked down on me. The dockworkers even went on strike one by one, saying they didn't want to be managed by a woman. I lived and ate with them at the dock for more than a month. Later, they were convinced, and the matter was finally put to rest."
Fang Lanxin wasn't born the head of the Huo family, and the Huo Group didn't trust her from the beginning.
Fang Lanxin really expended a lot of patience and energy back then in order to appease and suppress these people.
The Huo Group is what it is today because of Fang Lanxin's fearless spirit, which makes her unafraid of hardship or death.
Although Ling Ye never met Fang Lanxin back then, he still feels envious whenever Fang Lanxin talks about her.
"Madam, you are truly remarkable, such a brave woman!"
Ling Ye looked at Fang Lanxin very seriously, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
"And you? Do you often come here to eat the good food too?"
"By the way, how is your mother doing? Is she settling in well at the nursing home?"
Fang Lanxin picked up a meat skewer and stuffed it into her mouth without any hesitation. She had to admit that the food from these places had a kind of indescribable deliciousness.
Ling Ye smiled slightly, blushing shyly: "Thank you for your concern, Madam. My mother is doing well now. The doctor said her condition has improved and she may be able to live a healthy life in the future."
Although the possibility was slim, Lingye still held onto hope. What if? What if a miracle really happened?
"Yes, it's good that you have this idea."
“I’m thinking about whether we should find some foreign experts to come and consult on your mother’s condition.”
Fang Lanxin spoke casually, looking at Ling Ye with some concern.
Fang Lanxin had wanted to do this for a long time, but she knew very well that Ling Ye was only eighteen years old. Children of this age are particularly proud, and she didn't want Ling Ye to feel that she was doing him a favor.
Upon hearing this, Ling Ye immediately perked up: "Madam, are you serious or not? It would be wonderful if we could have a consultation! However, I don't have that much money right now, but I will definitely have it in the future. When I become a world champion, I will definitely be able to afford it!"
"Are you really willing?" Fang Lanxin asked, somewhat surprised.
Ling Ye is usually very wild, rebellious and disobedient, but I never expected him to be so insightful in this matter.
"Of course I'd like to, she's my mother!" Ling Ye said so smoothly and naturally.
But every word and phrase felt like a sharp blade, piercing Fang Lanxin's heart.
She originally thought all children were the same, but she never expected that they were actually quite different!
Even a rebellious person like Ling Ye would bow his head and beg for his mother's sake, but what about Huo Qibang?
In her previous life, she poured her heart and soul into giving this child everything she could, but what was her fate?
"Madam? Madam! What's wrong? You look so pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Madam, are you alright?"
Ling Ye suddenly realized that Fang Lanxin seemed to be acting strangely, and hurriedly spoke up, as if afraid that something might really happen to her.
But Fang Lanxin's eyes reddened, and she shook her head vigorously: "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
"Damn it, can you guys keep it down? What are you yelling about?" The blond-haired guy next to him suddenly threw a bottle at him, cursing angrily.
The bottle exploded at Fang Lanxin's feet, cutting her ankle.
"Damn it, are you crazy?!"
"Fuck your mother!"
Ling Ye immediately started cursing, stood protectively in front of Fang Lanxin, and grabbed a chair to smash it over her head.
The two sides immediately engaged in a chaotic fight. Fang Lanxin quickly got up, grabbed the chair she was sitting on, and smashed it hard.
She wasn't good at fighting, but she didn't back down either. She fought alongside Ling Ye, and in the end, she got injured and they were both taken away by the police.
Sitting in the small interrogation room, Fang Lanxin felt both amused and exasperated.
She never dreamed that at forty years old, she would end up here because of something so outrageous.
Looking at the serious-looking police officer, she said somewhat awkwardly, "They really did strike first. We had no choice but to fight back to protect ourselves."
"Auntie, you're so old, how could you get into a fight with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old?" The policewoman looked at Fang Lanxin in confusion. "Judging from your clothes, you should be someone of status. How embarrassing is that?"
Fang Lanxin didn't need anyone to tell her; she already felt ashamed enough.
But she still smiled slightly and then said, "Yes, it's all my fault. So how do you plan to handle this matter?"
“This isn’t your fault. All you need to do is have your family come and claim the body, pay the medical expenses, and everything will be fine.” The policewoman took the statement, had Fang Lanxin sign it, and then led her to the communications room: “Now you can call your family.”
Well……
Fang Lanxin was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she finally called Hu Zi. She was still a little guilty when she told him what had happened: "Uncle Hu, that's about the gist of the situation. Just come and pick me up as soon as possible!"
