Chapter 128 - Save Him
Chapter 128: Save Him
“Mom, I originally wanted to sell it and win the money back through gambling a few days later. Then, I could buy the house back. I didn’t think that they would still lend me money after losing so much money, so I wanted to turn the tables. Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely win in a few days. When the time comes, I will definitely get Dad’s house back. Mom, trust me!”
Lan Tingyi cried.
“Tingyi, how could you? This is Dad’s ancestral asset and it must be worth at least tens of millions. How could you sell it so easily?”
Lan Tingyun felt extremely regretful.
“Tingyun, shut up! It’s all because of the two of you. Otherwise, how could I be poor and have to sell Mom’s house?”
Lan Tingyi’s gaze was vicious.
“Hey, Uncle, what are you saying? If my dad doesn’t give you money, you won’t have the money to gamble. Are you blaming us now?”
Lan Anran couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
“Mom, Tingyi just had a moment of folly. We will definitely buy this back house with the money, but we are too tight on cash right now. Why don’t you move into our house? We sold this house so we will support you!”
Xu Yanshan was furious, but he was still her husband and her child’s father. She could only say good things.
“A moment of folly? You insolent thing! Back when you were in jail, it was also a moment of folly! Now you have even sold your father’s house, why don’t you sell yourself? Why don’t you sell your own house? This is the only thing your father left me. How can you sell it?”
Zhao Xiumei had just recovered from a serious illness and her expression wasn’t good to begin with. This made her even angrier.
“Mom, I was wrong. Forgive me, I will definitely buy it back!” Lan Tingyi knelt and said.
At this moment, Lan Tingyi’s phone rang. It was a call for payment and he picked it up angrily.
“Hey! Didn’t I give you the money? What else do you want?”
The voice on the other side of the phone was even angrier and fiercer.
“What? When did you give it to us? Lan Tingyi, don’t even think about going back on your word. Hurry up and hand over the 5 million and we promise we won’t disturb you, otherwise I’ll chop off your arms and legs to pay the debt!” The other party threatened.
“What did you say? Are you trying to cheat me? I sent you the money, how could you go back on your words?” Lan Tingyi said, dissatisfied.
“Lan Tingyi, cut the crap! We said we didn’t receive it. Those in the triads are loyal people, if you repay us, we won’t pester you anymore. Ask around and see when have I, Ah Bao, stopped being loyal and done such things? Were you cheated? I don’t care, I’ll give you three more days to pay the 5 million. If you don’t, I’ll use your daughter as payment!”
The call ended and Lan Tingyi was a little confused.
“What happened?”
“Tingyi, what happened? Where did the money go?” Xu Yanshan asked anxiously.
Lan Tingyi shook his head, wondering if he had been cheated, he sold the house, but he hadn’t gotten his money yet!
Zhao Xiumei was even more furious. This house was at least 10 million yuan, but this unfilial son was selling it for 5 million? She had let her husband down!
“Lan Tingyi! You unfilial thing! I’ll beat you to death! I thought you really wanted to invite me home to be filial to me, but it was all a scam!”
Zhao Xiumei prepared to attack.
The woman then spoke up. “Madam, I can’t interfere with your family’s business. I have given you the money and the house is mine. Please leave and don’t fight in my house, or I will call the police!”
“Bullsh*t! This is my house, my house. I lived here a few days ago!”
Zhao Xiumei refused to leave.
Lan Anran watched everything triumphantly.
“Mom, it’s not about the house now, it’s about Yaxin. If Tingyi doesn’t pay up, Yaxin will be in trouble. She is the Lan Family’s hope!”
Xu Yanshan was a little anxious. She couldn’t wait to swallow this bastard alive, he didn’t know anything other than gambling.
Zhao Xiumei calmed down and looked at her house, then at her disappointing son, who was teary-eyed and pitiful.
“Tingyun, you are the most capable. Can you save your brother? We are a family now!”
Zhao Xiumei was reminded of her rich second son.
“We’re family now? We weren’t a few moments ago, right?” Lan Anran smiled and said.
“Mom, this is a gambling debt, it can’t be repaid. Tingyi will definitely gamble again, he sold the house today, we won’t know what he will do tomorrow.”
Lan Tingyun was obviously unwilling to get involved in this mess.
“Tingyun, don’t worry. As long as you help me pay back this 5 million, I won’t gamble anymore. I’ll find a job.”
Lan Tingyi knelt in front of Lan Tingyun and promised.
“Tingyun, save your brother. This house is a small matter, but Yaxin has a life. What if it falls into the hands of those gamblers? She is the hope of the Lan Family!”
Zhao Xiumei wiped her tears and held Lan Tingyun’s hand, pleading.
“Tingyun, I was wrong. I’m not going to use the retirement fee anymore. It’s my fault, but Yaxin is innocent.”
Lan Tingyi begged.
Lan Tingyun’s heart softened. His eldest brother and mother had begged him, so he couldn’t say anything.
“Okay! My dad can help you, but he has a condition.”
Lan Anran saw that her father was moved, and it wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t let him save his mother and brother, but the money wasn’t going to be for nothing.
