Chapter 81 Jumping into the Lake "Don't jump! I'll pay off your debt!"...
"Do you want to eat strawberries?" Tian Ruan answered the question irrelevantly.
Lu Qiuyan was about to ask more questions, but suddenly felt Yu Shang pulling her wrist. She stopped asking and took the strawberry and started eating it.
Tian Ruan turned around and glared at Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo took the strawberry from his hand and said, "I'll eat it."
Tian Ruan suddenly had an idea and said to Lu Qiuyan, "My mouth was stained red by the strawberries."
Lu Qiuyan: "This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt."
“…”
It’s better not to explain.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at a suburban hospital, a mental hospital with a beautiful environment.
When we saw the words "mental hospital", everyone was a little bit unbelievable.
"Could it be that your eldest brother had a broken head and became a mental patient?" Lu Qiuyan guessed.
Tian Ruan: “Impossible!”
He's the second male lead in the original book. No matter what, he won't suddenly become a mental patient.
The driver drove into the gate, wrote down the license plate number and let the car pass.
Because it is located in the suburbs, the hospital's front yard is very large, with 20 to 30 parking spaces. It is adjacent to an artificial lake and has vast fields and lush greenery. It looks okay during the day, but at night it is basically the same as the wilderness.
Even if the patients who live here want to escape, they have to run three miles barefoot to see other people.
After getting out of the car, Yu Jingmo held Tian Ruan's hand.
Tian Ruan looked around and saw a nurse pushing an old man with a crooked nose and slanted eyes in a wheelchair. The old man was mumbling something. The nurse patiently responded, "Yes, that's right."
"It doesn't look like a mental illness, but more like Alzheimer's disease," said Yu Jingmo.
Tian Ruan was surprised: "This place is also merging with a nursing home? Then my second uncle can move here, so he won't have to fight with others in such a good nursing home."
Yu Jingmo laughed: "I'll ask Assistant Xu."
This place looks very empty and lonely. If Yu Er moved here, he would be bored to death.
Following the ward number sent by Mrs. Du, Tian Ruan went all the way there. There are even fewer people here than I imagined. There are only a dozen or so people in the hall, all of whom are here to get prescriptions or visit patients.
There are only four floors in total, and the wards are on the third floor. Most of them are empty and the occupancy rate is not high.
"If my second uncle moves here, no one will argue with him even if he has a quarrel." Tian Ruan is very satisfied with the environment here.
Yu Jingmo: "And the nurses and doctors, he can even quarrel with a dog."
“…That’s true.”
Arriving in front of Du Henbie's ward, Tian Ruan stopped, took a deep breath, and held his breath.
Lu Qiuyan didn’t understand: “Go in.”
Tian Ruan nodded, turned the doorknob and opened the door. As soon as he arrived at the ward, a sad voice sounded like a erhu: "Brother! Brother, what's wrong with you? Wuuwuwu..."
Tian Ruan's eyes were red, tears welling up in his eyes: "Brother, you are in such a bad state, your head is broken... Who is it? Who is it? I must avenge you!"
Everyone: “…”
Du Henbie: "Am I dead? Are you mourning for me?"
Tian Ruan paused, "Ah?"
Yu Jingmo looked at Tian Ruan with amusement, "Is my brother-in-law okay?"
Du Henbie leaned against the head of the bed with a bandage on his head, "Not dead."
Lu Qiuyan said to Tian Ruan: "It's too fake."
Tian Ruan: “…”
Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at her eldest son and said, "Xiao Ruan is worried about you too."
Yu Shang handed over the supplements and said, "Boss Du, get well soon."
Poor protagonist, he doesn’t know what to call the second male lead, so he can only call him Mr. Du.
Yu Jingmo: "Why call me Mr. Du? Call me uncle."
Yu Shang: “…”
Du Henbie smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what you call me, as long as the intention is there."
After much hesitation, Yu Shang still said expressionlessly: "I hope my uncle will get well soon."
Lu Qiuyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "...Does Yu Shang have to call me uncle too?"
Yu Shang gave him a cold glance.
Lu Qiuyan was inexplicably frightened: "It doesn't matter if you don't scream."
Madam Du tried to smooth things over: "Seniority doesn't matter. Xiaolu, Yu Shang, and Xiaoruan are all classmates, so they are of the same generation. There is no need to distinguish them so clearly."
Tian Ruan chuckled: "Yeah, yeah." But in his heart he was thinking, the main character, the pseudo uncle and nephew, is too exciting. The overbearing president forces the unruly little uncle to fall in love with him. They are uncle and nephew during the day, and they have sex at night!
"Pah pah pah..." Tian Ruan couldn't help but murmur.
Mrs. Du: "What does 'pa pa pa' mean?"
Tian Ruan suddenly came back to his senses and saw that everyone except Mrs. Du was staring at him strangely.
Yu Jingmo raised his hand and tapped his forehead, "Pour out the garbage in your brain."
Tian Ruan raised his hands and clapped, saying innocently, "Onomatopoeia. I applaud my mother's words."
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "I see."
"Where's He Lan Si?" Tian Ruan changed the subject. "Brother, you took the beating for him, why isn't he here?"
Du Henbie's smile faded a little, "He is in a bad mood and wants to be alone."
"Is the family really bankrupt?"
“Soon.”
"No hope at all?"
"If it was three months ago, there might have been a chance to turn things around," Du Henbie said, "but we didn't know each other at that time."
Three months ago, Yu Jingmo extended an olive branch to Helans, but Helans did not accept it. The He family missed the opportunity to turn things around for the so-called face, and has been doomed ever since.
Yu Jingmo said: "As long as he can get himself out of this, he still has a chance to turn things around."
Du Henbie shook his head, "It's too late, Helansi's parents have escaped."
Tian Ruan opened his eyes wide, "What do you mean by escaped?"
"He severed ties with the He family, fled abroad, and took away the remaining 50 million of He Lan Si. Mr. He is ill, and only He Lan Si can inherit the estate and assume the debts."
in the country, inheriting an estate means voluntarily taking on the family's debts.
Some small companies that are about to go bankrupt will falsify their account transactions at the last minute and be acquired by large companies. Once acquired by large companies, they become hot potatoes, with only an empty shell left, and the large companies have to pay off the debts of the small companies.
By the same token, if the He family chooses another heir, that heir will inherit the debt.
Helans' parents were originally the first heirs, but now the throne falls to Helans.
"...How can there be such parents?" Tian Ruan was very angry.
Du Henbie said calmly: "Merchants value profit over separation, and family affection is just icing on the cake."
Tian Ruan was stunned: "Is the Du family the same?"
Du Henbie shook his head, "Every family has its own problems. In the Du family, you can trust me and my mother."
Du Danren, who was far away in the city center hospital, sneezed suddenly, rubbed his nose, and continued playing chess with the brother next door in a daze.
Tian Ruan did not comment, "What about He Lan Si now?"
A complete dead end. It turns out that this was Helans' situation in the original book.
In the book, there is no detailed description of how Hollands went bankrupt or what happened to his family. It turns out that if there is no description, there is no family around him, and soon he no longer had any family around him.
Yu Jingmo said calmly: "Helansi is too proud."
Because of pride, he is unwilling to be inferior to others. He would rather fall from the altar of the favored ones than ask for help from others.
Tian Ruan walked to the window and suddenly saw a tall figure standing by the lake. He was wearing a pink casual suit decorated with colorful sequins, dazzling white pants, and champagne-colored long hair. Who else could it be but He Lans with such a flashy outfit?
Hollands stood by the lake, swaying in the wind.
Tian Ruan was shocked: "He Lan Si is going to jump into the lake to commit suicide!"
After saying that, he ran out quickly, and Lu Qiuyan followed closely behind him. Yu Jingmo and Yu Shang, who had reacted, also followed.
Mrs. Du went to the window and took a look. Her face turned pale. "Why is this child so depressed? He hates to leave..."
Turning around, her eldest son came to the window, took a step with his long legs, and jumped directly from the third floor.
“…”
Mrs. Du hurried to see, only to see her eldest son running towards the lake ahead of the others. His heartbeat, which was about to jump out of his throat, slowly subsided.
But seeing Tian Ruan “the divine soldier descending from the sky” was not so wonderful, because his father Du Henbie almost jumped on his head!
"Ah ah..." Tian Ruan was so scared that he braked suddenly. Lu Qiuyan was caught off guard and collided with him, rolling into a ball.
Tian Ruan felt as if Lu Qiuyan had kissed her on the face, "..."
Lu Qiuyan: “…accident…”
The next second, Tian Ruan was lifted up from Lu Qiuyan by Yu Jingmo with a cold face.
Tian Ruan's heart was also lifted. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard Yu Jingmo say, "No need to explain. It's okay."
As he spoke, Yu Jingmo rubbed Tian Ruan's soft, dusty face with his thumb.
Tian Ruan hurriedly looked up at the sky and listened carefully, "Why is there no thunder?"
Yu Jingmo: “?”
“It’s not fair!!” Why did thunder strike when he accidentally kissed Lu Qiuyan, but not when Lu Qiuyan kissed him?
Even when Yu Shang felt a little jealous, he didn't even complain.
Tian Ruan was so angry that he jumped up and pointed at the sky, "Thunder for me!"
Yu Jingmo: "Don't care about Helan Si anymore?"
"Oh, right..." Tian Ruan looked over hurriedly, only to see that He Lan Si had been caught by Du Henbie, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay."
The lakeside is covered with green grass, willows swaying, and the lake is shimmering. It is a sunny and nice day.
Even though winter has come, Helans is still wearing cool clothes, standing tall and leaning towards the lake, like a melancholy artist trapped in love, looking like he is about to jump into the lake.
But in fact, Helansi was just admiring his own beauty in the water... He looked so good while smoking.
He Lans couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take a few selfies. It turns out that melancholy men are the most handsome.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of the front camera. The next second, he was caught by Du Henbie, and his phone was thrown away and fell into the water.
He Lansi subconsciously wanted to fish it out——
Du Henbie yelled, "Don't jump! I'll pay you back!"
Hollands: “???Ah?”
The cigarette butt burned Du Henbie's hand, but he did not let go of Helans.
He Lans quickly loosened his fingers, and the cigarette butt fell into the ground. He looked at the burn on Du Henbie's palm and said, "Let go."
"No." Du Henbie led the man to the shore, his strength as strong as an iron hoop, his face extremely cold, "It's just a debt of 200 million, is there any need to commit suicide?"
He Lan Si was still confused, "My phone fell into the water."
"If it falls off, I'll buy you a new one."
He Lan Si was confused, "Are you really going to help me pay off my debts?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Now that I've said this, you don't have to worry." Du Henbie brought the man to a concrete space some distance away from the artificial lake, and then he loosened his grip a little.
He Lans turned around and saw Tian Ruan and the others, "Are you guys watching the monkey?"
Tian Ruan advised: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. If you die today, you will have nothing."
He Lan Si slowly reacted and laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "You think I'm going to jump into the lake? Hahahaha... How could I jump into the lake? I'm just admiring my beauty by the water... Hahahaha, even Yu Jingmo was fooled..."
“…………”
Yu Jingmo: "Return 50 million to me within three days."
Hollands' smile disappeared instantly.
Du Henbie was helpless: "I'll pay it back for him."
The more Tian Ruan looked at her, the more he felt that Helan Si would become his sister-in-law. Alas.
