An Jingzhi sat behind Old Lady Zhu and winked at Boss Liu frantically. Boss Liu glanced at him and said, "Old man, this is the market price. Your son and grandson are worth this price. Don't worry. The source of this money is clean."
Old Mrs. Zhu felt a little embarrassed by what the other party said. She had nothing to say and could only quickly offer the other party some water.
"We don't usually have tea leaves at home, so please don't be offended, Boss Liu."
"No problem, no problem. I came here to visit you and to give them their advance salary."
He took the package from the bodyguard, placed it directly on the table, and pushed it in front of Old Lady Zhu.
"This..." Old Mrs. Zhu hesitated.
An Jingzhi opened it and found that it was full of hundred-yuan bills, totaling 40,000 yuan.
"Mom, don't you need surgery? I figured since I already have a job, I'd ask Boss Liu for an advance on this month's salary. Boss Liu was kind and agreed."
Old Lady Zhu's eyes were red. "You can just save up this much money. Use it to buy a house in the city and find a wife for Xiaohao. I'm old and don't need to treat any illness."
"Mom! If you say that again, I'll be unhappy." An Jingzhi deliberately put on a stern face.
"Why are you so fierce!" Old Lady Zhu lost her composure and slapped him on the head.
An Jingzhi rubbed his head and didn't dare to argue with the old lady.
After sitting for a while, Boss Liu got up and left.
Before coming, he really didn't expect that An Jingzhi actually had a mother.
It seems that he listens to the old lady very much.
He doesn't look like a criminal.
Sitting back in the car, Boss Liu muttered to himself, "So he's trying to raise money for his mother's surgery." With that said, his extreme approach is understandable.
An Jingzhi and An Wuhao's filial piety made Boss Liu have a better impression of them.
"Boss, are you gone? Come visit often." Seeing the car slowly driving out, the older sister who had previously given directions to Boss Liu was still standing at the intersection, greeting him enthusiastically.
Boss Liu smiled slightly and greeted the other party.
After everyone left, Old Lady Zhu returned to the room and brought out an iron box.
He took the iron box to the dining area and opened it in front of the two of them.
"There is a note in this box. It was left in there when I picked you up. Your name is also written on it." Old Mrs. An said to An Jingzhi.
His eyes were lost in the memories of those years.
"When I was young, I was destined to be unlucky and childless. When I found you by the river, you were still a child, so I raised you as my own son. Later, you got married and I had a grandson."
Old Lady Zhu looked at An Jingzhi with cloudy eyes, "I have never hidden the fact that I picked you up."
"You should save up the money you earn and buy a house in the city. Don't waste it on an old woman like me who is half buried in the ground."
"After you are settled, you can go find your biological parents if you want." After saying that, Old Lady Zhu handed the note in the iron box to the other party.
An Jingzhi held the yellowed note, on which besides his own name there were some words thanking the kind-hearted person for taking him in.
He felt in his pocket, found the lighter, and burned it in front of Mrs. Zhu.
Before old lady Zhu could stop it, the old note was devoured by the raging fire and turned into ashes.
"What are you doing?"
An Jingzhi took back the lighter and said with a smile, "Mom, in my eyes you are my mother. The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. You are my biological mother. And you must treat this disease, otherwise I will gamble away the money."
Mrs. Zhu was anxious, "You dare!"
An Jingzhi smiled, "You know whether I dare or not."
Old Lady Zhu glared at An Jingzhi fiercely, and then she was like a deflated ball, "How come you don't know what's good for you, kid?"
Although she had told the original owner that she was not her biological daughter, she still had some selfish thoughts and had not shown the note to the original owner. Now she thought that she had a tumor in her brain and would not live long, so she wanted to make arrangements for her funeral, but her reckless son was worrying and refused to cooperate.
"Mom, there is no end to the money. As long as Xiaohao and I complete this deal, we will have more money in the future. You don't have to worry about the medical expenses. We want a big house, and we can't neglect our health. Just listen to me, okay?" An Jingzhi squatted in front of Grandma Zhu and said gently.
Old Lady Zhu laughed in anger and ruffled his hair. "Now that you say that, what else can an old lady like me do? I didn't earn this money anyway."
Who would be willing to die when they can live?
…
Boss Liu was so frightened by the kidnapping that he took a few days off, delivered the money and went straight home.
"How are you, Old Liu? Is everything going well?" Boss Liu's wife asked hurriedly when she saw someone come in.
"fine."
Boss Liu told his wife what he had seen.
After a long while, Boss Liu's wife said with emotion,
"So, these two are filial. That's good. Those who have no worries are scary."
After a few peaceful days, Boss Liu went back to his business with a few more people around him. In addition to An Jingzhi and An Wuhao, father and son, there were also several professional bodyguards he hired from Hong Kong.
Although his visit to An Jingzhi's home had changed his opinion of the father and son, Boss Liu was still worried about letting the two of them get close to him, and he always let them stay at the end of the team.
An Jingzhi had no objection, so he and An Wuhao strolled leisurely at the back of the team every day, completely out of tune with the well-trained bodyguards in front.
Boss Liu went in to discuss business, and the bodyguards ate in another room.
The bodyguards all disliked the father and son, who seemed so sloppy and unprofessional.
An Jingzhi ignored him and told An Wuhao to eat quickly.
"Tsk tsk, has it been hundreds of years since you last had good food?"
One of the bodyguards couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"That's right, taking him out would embarrass Boss Liu."
Seeing that the two of them didn't refute the other bodyguards, they couldn't help but join in.
An Jingzhi was busy working and ignored them. Seeing this, An Wuhao did not take any action.
When the bodyguards had finished their meal and wanted to pick up some food, they found the table a mess. Everything that was supposed to be eaten had been eaten up, and the leftovers had been ruined to the point where they couldn't eat them.
An Jingzhi smiled at them and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten anything good before, and I accidentally ate too much."
The bodyguard glared angrily, but felt that he was in the wrong, and his breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
They had no choice but to pay out of their own pockets and ask the hotel to provide some more things.
After eating, An Jingzhi and An Wuhao leisurely waited at the door of Boss Liu's box. When the other party came out, he only saw the father and son and asked curiously, "Where are the others?"
"They should still be eating. It doesn't matter if my son and I eat less. Boss Liu's safety is the most important." An Jingzhi looked honest.
