Chapter 904: Chapter 888: Coming for Money Again Chapter 904: Chapter 888: Coming for Money Again “Dinner’s ready,” the door was pushed open again, and Gu Ning walked in, with Tang Yuxin behind him.
He placed the food he was carrying on the table; none of it was purchased from the cafeteria but had been prepared by the family’s housekeeper.
The meals from home were reliable and cleaner as well.
Of course, they were used to eating home-cooked meals.
Regardless of the dish, it always tasted better than anything bought from outside.
The housekeeper had prepared quite a lot, enough to fill them all to bursting.
Gu Ning first took a bowl and filled it to the brim with rice, choosing the best dishes for the topping.
...
Apart from the stir-fried prawns that the patient couldn’t eat, the vegetables were piled high to the rim of the bowl.
Before this bowl was even ready, no one had started eating—neither Ren Li nor Tang Xincheng did.
He picked up the bowl, stood up, and then walked to another hospital bed, setting the bowl down on the care table.
There was a bowl of soup as well, and he arranged the chopsticks and spoon too.
Only then did he help up Ren’s father.
“Eat up for now.
If it’s not enough, let me know, and I’ll keep another portion for you.”
“Thank you,” said Ren’s father, feeling very ashamed and unworthy.
His own daughter had abandoned him, and now, it was this man who had no blood relation to him...
his grandson-in-law.
Yes, Gu Ning could be considered his grandson-in-law, but it’s likely he wouldn’t want to acknowledge Ren.
“No worries, just eat.
First you need to build up your strength before worrying about anything else.”
Gu Ning placed the chopsticks in Ren’s father’s hands before walking over to join everyone else who was waiting for him to start eating.
Once he sat down, everyone else began eating.
Gu Ning placed the shelled stir-fried prawns in front of Tang Xincheng, “Eat up.”
“Sure,” Tang Xincheng especially loved these.
The meals prepared by the housekeeper were the most delicious, particularly this prawn dish.
Not only did he enjoy it, but Xiaobai and also loved it.
The prawns were made for him; after all, he needed to grow.
Gu Ning patted Tang Xincheng’s head, “Eat a little more.”
Tang Xincheng’s smile faded; all of a sudden, he couldn’t eat anymore.
He felt like there was a second half to that sentence.
Eat a little more, and be ready for a thrashing later.
When they finished eating, Gu Ning and Tang Xincheng were the ones to clean up, while the women of the house didn’t lift a finger, save for the patient Tang Zhinian.
It seemed all household chores were done by the two men.
Ren’s father just watched; he too had finished the food in his bowl, and drank the soup as well.
The meal was delicious and the soup savory.
Ren Ying was momentarily befuddled by the sudden question.
“My mom is doing well.
She has others taking care of her, with food and drink, and the hospital is all paid for.”
For the first time, Ren’s father felt that his daughter was incredibly foolish and unfilial.
The hospital, all paid for—she really had a way with words.
Which hospital would do all of that, act like a charity, provide treatment for free, as well as food and accommodation?
Did she even have a brain?
“Dad, give me the money.”
Ren Ying was getting anxious.
Why hadn’t he handed over the money yet?
“Hasn’t Wu Bin managed to get the money?”
Ren’s father felt something was off.
Why was it always her asking for money?
Where were the Wu Family?
Even if they were in a bad situation, they couldn’t just ignore Wu Liangliang, leave her unattended.
“Why bring them up?
They’re of no use at all.”
Ren Ying didn’t want to talk about the Wu Family’s people.
“Dad...”
She urged her father again.
Ren’s father narrowed his eyes.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“Not at all,” Ren Ying’s eyes flickered, “What could I possibly be hiding from you?
There’s so much going on with the Wu Family, and it’s still not settled,” she made up an excuse on the fly, hoping to brush it off.
But it must be said that such an excuse temporarily allayed Ren’s father’s suspicions; of course, he didn’t think much more about it and certainly couldn’t have guessed that the Wu Family’s people had long since known where to go.
It was just as well he knew nothing; otherwise, he might have had another brain hemorrhage from the anger caused by Ren Ying.
“Dad...”
Ren Ying was so anxious she was almost jumping up and down.
She didn’t come here to chat with him; she needed money, was desperate for money.
“Don’t you have a bank card?”
Ren’s father asked Ren Ying, “Where’s your card?”
“Card?” Ren Ying was befuddled by the question again.
Where was her card?
It should have been in her wallet, but her wallet had been empty for a while.
