Kang Lan was annoyed by his crying, so he pushed him aside, “Crying, crying, crying, a big boy like you only knows how to cry when something happens! What great things can you accomplish like this in the future! You might as well go back early, do some small business to support yourself!”
“Uncle!” Kang Wei’s eyes were red with grievance, as if he might hit his head against something at any moment.
Kang Lan didn’t want to make a scene with him either, after all, despite not being close, they shared the same surname. He could only helplessly wave his hand and say, “Don’t hover around me. Every time I see you, I get angry. If Li Zhen is fine this time, it’s forgivable, but if something happens to him, get ready to face legal consequences!”
“Uncle! You can’t just ignore me!” Kang Wei watched Kang Lan walk further away, then turned his pleading eyes towards Mei Shu, “President Mei, Sister Mei, I was really wrong. I won’t dare to tease girls casually in the future. Could you help me put in a good word with Uncle? Can you stop me from resigning tomorrow? If my parents find out, they’ll kill me!”
Mei Shu had no sympathy for him, her attitude was extremely cold, “You reap what you sow. No one can help you. Li Zhen is about to undergo surgery. You’ll have to fend for yourself.”
With that said, she walked away without even looking back.
Kang Wei’s heart completely collapsed, and his body slumped against the wall and slid to the ground.
Zhao Ping thought sitting around waiting was not a solution, so he pulled Kang Wei up from the ground and urged, “We can’t just sit here waiting. If something really happens to Li Zhen, neither of us can escape. We need to quickly think of another solution. Your uncle won’t speak up for us!”
” What else can we do?” Kang Wei leaned his head wearily, tears almost dried up, but there was no one who could save him.
Zhao Ping thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go find Granny Lin! Our families have been friends for generations, Granny Lin has always been very fond of me. I’ll talk to my mom, let her take us to see Granny Lin, apologize sincerely, explain the situation, and hopefully, we won’t end up in serious trouble?”
Kang Wei shook his head directly after hearing this, “Will that work? Granny Lin is Li Zhen’s grandmother! How could she speak for us?”
“You’re silly. Our families interact so frequently. Unless they want to break ties, they wouldn’t completely disregard us. Plus, we can push all the blame onto Mei Shu in front of Granny Lin. How about that?”
Zhao Ping thought he had come up with a good idea, feeling more confident, he quickly pulled Kang Wei out.
Kang Wei couldn’t resist him and could only go home with him first to explain the situation to his mother.
Zhao Ping’s mother had always doted on him, even if he caused trouble, she was reluctant to scold him, and this time was no exception.
Zhao Ping kept coaxing and begging his mother, “Mom, please help me this time. You can’t just watch your son be sent to jail, can you?”
His mother helplessly pushed away his hand, “This matter is not that simple, and besides, we still don’t know Li Zhen’s situation.”
“Mom! That’s why we need to hurry up and ask Granny Lin to forgive us first! Otherwise, if something really happens to Li Zhen later, won’t we be even more passive?” Zhao Ping sat beside his mother and started coaxing, “Mom, I don’t want to go to jail!”
“You! Always causing trouble outside, this matter, if your dad finds out, he will definitely punish you.”
His mother’s tone was helpless but also carried a hint of pity, “Just saying this won’t guarantee your safety, both of you. Kang Wei, how do your parents feel about this?”
Kang Wei hesitated, fidgeting with his fingers uncomfortably, “1,1 haven’t dared to tell my parents yet, but my uncle already knows.”
His mother rolled her eyes with disdain, “What does Mr. Kang mean by this?”
Kang Wei glanced at Zhao Ping, hoping he would help him out and ease the awkwardness, but Zhao Ping apparently had no intention of doing so. He could only muster the courage to say, “My uncle said we should wait until we know Li Zhen’s condition.”
His mother nodded understandingly, “Alright, here’s the plan. I’ll buy some gifts and take you two to see Granny Lin. Let’s not mention this matter for now, let’s feel out the situation first.”
“Okay! Mom, I’m counting on you this time!” Zhao Ping leaned on his mother’s shoulder, making his mother feel even more affectionate towards him.
The affectionate interaction between mother and son made Kang Wei feel a little sour.
There was a time when he also wanted to have such a good relationship with his own parents, but unfortunately, in his parents’ eyes, the most important thing was always the interests of their family.
He was born to get close to Kang Lan, his name was to please Kang Lan, and now he had to lick his face to ingratiate himself with Kang Lan again. He had never enjoyed a warm life with his parents for a day. All he heard in his ears were his parents’ constant reminders to maintain a good relationship with Kang Lan.
Blah, blah, blah. No matter how obedient he was, he couldn’t help but feel resentful now.
“Hey, what are you thinking? Don’t worry, with my mom’s help, there shouldn’t be a big problem with this matter!” Zhao Ping patted his shoulder and reassured him.
