Yao Na never imagined that the photos she took would ultimately backfire on her.
There's absolutely no way to defend myself!
She lay in her hospital bed, tears of resentment streaming down her face.
She was covered in bruises. When the nurse saw her, she asked if she had been a victim of domestic violence and whether she should report it to the police. She could only shake her head bitterly.
Grandpa was someone she couldn't afford to offend!
I thought that once I raised 100,000 yuan, he would spare my life, but who knew that someone would retaliate and send the old man the photos.
The photo was only given to Wei Shufen, could it be her?
Having known her for so long, if she were that smart, she wouldn't have been scammed out of 20,000 yuan.
If it wasn't her, then she must have had a highly skilled person guiding her; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find out about her relationship with the old man so quickly and put her in such a difficult position.
Just as she was lying motionless in bed, Yin Ke, with one hand in a cast, appeared at the door of the ward.
He came in looking completely bewildered when he saw Yao Na's bruised and swollen face.
"Nana, what happened to you?" He also had injuries on his face, and speaking made his mouth hurt.
But seeing Yao Na like this, he still felt sorry for her and sat down next to her, holding her hand.
Yao Na withdrew her hand:
"How did you end up like this?"
Yin Ke, whom Lu Wanqing found greasy, was a handsome man in Yao Na's eyes.
If you're looking for someone to spend your life with, of course you should find someone handsome.
But his face was covered in bruises, and he looked anything but handsome.
Yin Ke knew that she withdrew her hand to avoid danger, so he quickly sat up straight:
"I'm fine. I just went to cause trouble for that Lu Wanqing, and that's how this happened."
Upon hearing this, Yao Na's face darkened:
"Why are you causing him trouble? Really..."
She didn't tell him about the money blackmail using the photos.
He's more trouble than he's worth. If Lu Wanqing suspects him and follows the trail, then we'll be in real trouble!
Thinking of this, she urged Yin Ke to leave quickly, so that no one would know that they knew each other.
Yin Ke left reluctantly, unaware that Huo Xiao had already witnessed the scene and even filmed it.
When he showed the photos to Lu Wanqing, he was quite proud of himself, thinking that he had a talent for stalking people.
Lu Wanqing was genuinely shocked to see Yin Ke and Yao Na together. So these two knew each other?
Could it be that Yin Ke was the one who blackmailed Wei Shufen?
The fortune teller's line was in the wrong direction?
Her expression was serious, and she instructed Huo Xiao to continue keeping an eye on Yin Ke and Yao Na.
"But where did you get your camera?" Lu Wanqing found it incredible that he could take photos and develop them in such a short time.
Huo Xiao's salary as a security guard was only a little over forty, so he couldn't say it was his own. He lied and said that a friend of his owned a photo studio.
Lu Wanqing didn't think much of it and told him, "This camera has such good image quality, it must be imported and definitely not cheap. Be careful not to break it. Your salary can't afford to pay for it!"
"Hmm!" Huo Xiao came out and wiped his sweat.
Sigh, he just wanted to experience life, and he almost got exposed!
When Lu Wanqing got home from get off work, Wei Shufen appeared at the courtyard house again.
With a worried expression, he asked her if she had raised the money yet.
"Auntie, don't worry. I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to drink a sip of water. How can I have time to raise money?" Lu Wanqing said innocently.
Wei Shufen was furious. There were only two days left, but she wasn't worried at all. Did she really want to see the Han family ruined?
If they're not related by blood, they'll never truly be tamed!
Since that's the case, don't blame her for threatening you.
"Wanqing, if you don't take this seriously, I'll have no choice but to break them up and let Lin Xiaocui know that she's not worthy of marrying into the Han family!" Wei Shufen's eyes flashed with malice.
Lu Wanqing gestured for them to proceed.
"Auntie, please. You've already made your point, so there's nothing more for us to say! Have you thought things through regarding Xiao Cui? She's not worried about getting married, so don't push your own son to his death!"
What era are we living in? Why do people still insist on parental orders? Breaking up your son's happiness like this is tantamount to slowly and painfully killing him.
Seeing that her threats were having no effect, Wei Shufen quickly stopped the courtyard gate from closing, her tone softening considerably:
"Wanqing, I spoke without thinking just now. Please, I beg you, you really need to find a way to raise the money!"
Lu Wanqing glanced at her and dismissed her irritably:
"Let's go, I know what I'm doing!"
With that, he locked Wei Shufen outside the courtyard gate.
She wandered aimlessly down the street, her spirit on the verge of collapse.
These days, she can't eat or sleep well, and she's anxiously waiting for the outcome.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of Lin Xiaocui's hot pot restaurant. Through the glass door, she saw Lin Xiaocui flitting around the hall like a butterfly.
She was full of energy, with a faint smile on her face, seemingly enjoying herself despite being busy.
A girl like this, regardless of her family background, is better than my own daughter in every other way.
Just as Lu Wanqing said, Han Lei was attracted to her by her personal charm and impressed by her optimism and ambition. If he missed her, Han Lei would find it hard to find such a compatible partner again!
Was she really wrong?
So what if Li Qin came back from studying abroad? If she can't win my son's heart, then she's worthless.
Just as I was lost in thought, the restaurant door opened, and Chun Tao came out smiling to greet me.
"Madam, it's you! Come in quickly! Sister Xiao Cui said she'd come to see you when she's not busy!"
Wei Shufen gave an awkward laugh and was pulled into the restaurant by Chun Tao.
Lin Xiaocui came downstairs and greeted Wei Shufen with a smile when she saw her come in.
She can greet others with a smile, so why can't she greet her future mother-in-law?
Although Wei Shufen tried several times to introduce Han Lei to potential partners, she ultimately did not speak ill of her.
If she was destined to become family with Han Lei, she didn't want to put him in a difficult position!
"Auntie, please come upstairs quickly, I'll have the kitchen make you some hand-pulled mutton rice!"
During the last gathering, she saw her praising the hand-pulled lamb rice, and she remembered it.
Wei Shufen looked a little awkward, but she couldn't refuse the hospitality and followed them upstairs.
Lin Xiaocui carried the mutton rice to her, and also served her a bowl of mutton soup. She watched her eat and chatted with her for a few minutes.
When Han Lei got off work, he went to the restaurant to find Lin Xiaocui and saw the two of them sitting face to face chatting.
He pinched himself, thinking he was seeing things.
It wasn't until Wei Shufen saw him and invited him to have dinner together that he finally saw him.
After a hearty meal filled with laughter and conversation, Wei Shufen felt much more energetic and relaxed.
People are often able to feel the most primal emotions when they are feeling down.
However, the problem remained unresolved, and she remained on edge.
Hopefully, Lu Wanqing really has a way to resolve this!
Another day has passed, and the deadline for paying the extortion money is drawing ever closer.
Instead of going to work, Lu Wanqing disguised herself and went to the hospital to find Yao Na.
