Chapter 97: Ingratitude

e met."Dude, wanna smoke"Wang Aiguo said, stood up, and took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of the clothes hanging nearby. He wasn't very tall and walked with a limp."I don't smoke." Ye Bufan...Having seen Bi Haiquan leave, Guan Dongping sighed: "Boss, we've offended Xingyao Media. Things might get complicated for us in the future."

Ye Bufan said: "It's okay, he's just a thug. Don't take it to heart. Don't say they can't control everything, even if they monopolize this media industry, it's nothing."

By the time our houses are built and ready for sale, everyone will be lining up to buy them. We won't even need to advertise.

Guan Dongping sighed again, wondering where this young boss got his confidence from.

But he was a practical man, didn't think much about future things, and ran back to the construction site to get busy again.

To calm the workers' emotions, Ye Bufan stayed with them until late afternoon, working alongside them. Only after everyone had finished work did he leave.

The next morning, when he returned to the Zui Jiangnan Restaurant, he found that his mother's attire had been completely revamped from head to toe.

Since he could remember, life at home had been incredibly tough. His mother never bothered with her appearance; she never bought any cosmetics or even cared about what clothes she wore.

As the saying goes, "Buddha relies on gold ornaments, and people rely on clothes." Today, Ouyang Lan's outfit doesn't look particularly luxurious, but it immediately sets off her temperament. High-end clothing does make a difference when you wear it.

After dressing up like this, she looked at least a decade younger, just like a beautiful woman in her thirties. It goes without saying that this was all thanks to Qin ChuChu's efforts.

Although he's wealthy now, he's completely clueless about women's clothing and style. It seems like he'll need to have Qin Chuchu come over more often in the future to give his mother a proper makeover.

Seeing her son looking at her like that, Ouyang Lan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong Does Mom look bad in this dress"

"It's not that you're not good-looking, it's just that you're too good-looking." Ye Bufan laughed. "If you went out on the street now, you would definitely captivate a whole crowd. People would even believe you were in your thirties."

"You child, you're starting to talk nonsense again."

Ouyang Lan said so, but a smile bloomed on her face. No woman doesn't love beauty.

She went on to say, "These were all bought for me by ChuChu. I offered to pay, but she refused and wouldn't even let me see the price."

"Mom, this is my girlfriend. It's only right that I buy her some clothes."

Ye Bufan secretly admired Qin Chuchu's intelligence and understanding. These clothes, with prices starting in the five digits, if his mother saw the price tag, she definitely wouldn't buy them.

"Xiaofan, let me tell you, Chuchu is a good girl. You can't wrong her in the future."

Whenever Ouyang Lan mentioned Qin Chuchu, she would grin from ear to ear, clearly very pleased with her daughter-in-law.

Mother and son had finished breakfast, just as Ye Bufan was about to leave, Ouyang Lan's phone rang.

After the phone call connected, a woman's sharp voice came from the receiver: "My good elder sister, when are you going to pay back the 3,000 yuan that you owe our family"

Although the phone was in Ouyang Lan's hand, the room was silent. Ye Bufan's six senses were exceptionally acute, allowing him to hear the contents of the call clearly. He immediately frowned.

The person who called was Ouyang Lan's youngest sister, Ouyang Hui. This woman is sharp-tongued and mean, and she has bullied Ouyang Lan a lot over the years.

When Ye Bufan was in college, his family simply couldn't afford the tuition. Ouyang Lan pleaded with everyone, enduring all kinds of humiliation, and finally Ouyang Hui threw 3,000 yuan onto her elder sister's face.

He remembered the scene vividly; it was something he would never forget.

A few days ago, Ouyang Lan was seriously ill and hospitalized. She had also called Ouyang Hui, but this woman simply didn't care about her own sister's life or death.

As soon as he heard about the loan, he immediately hung up the phone. Unexpectedly, he came to collect the debt so soon.

Ouyang Lan said into the phone, “Xiao Hui, don’t worry, I’ve already got the money we owe you. I’ll pay you back when I go home to pay respects to my ancestors in a few days.”

She was a kind person and naturally didn't like owing money to others. After becoming wealthy, she had already prepared the money owed to relatives and planned to repay it all in one go when she returned home in a few days.

Ouyang Hui said, "No need. Xiaogun and I are already on our way to Jiangnan City. We'll be there in two hours. We'll go find you then to get the money. Just tell me your address."

Ouyang Lan's hometown is in Wufeng County. Although it also belongs to Jiangnan City, the county town is very far from the city center, about 200 kilometers away.

Ouyang Lan said: "Then you come to Zui Jiangnan Grand Wine House, big sister will treat you to lunch."

Ouyang Hui said, “Big sister, don’t think that you can get away with not paying by treating me to a meal at a big restaurant. You have to pay today.”

Ouyang Lan said: "Xiao Hui, how can you talk like that Am I the one who never pays back my debts Things are things, eating is eating, and paying back money is paying back money."

Ou Yang Hui let out a cold snort over there, didn't say anything, and directly hung up the phone.

After Ouyang Lan hung up the phone, she said: "Xiaofan, your aunt and Xiaojun are here. Let's reserve a private room for lunch and treat them to a meal."

Ye Bufan said, "Mom, don't bother with this kind of person. Just return her money and that's it. There's no need to invite her to dinner again."

Ouyang Lan said, "Look how you speak to her, she's my sister after all. It's nothing for a family to have a meal together."

Ye Bufan said: "You treat her like your own sister, but she doesn't treat you like her own."

The other day, when you were hospitalized due to illness, I called her, but she didn't care about your life or death at all. Instead, she told me that even if you died, the money still had to be repaid. What kind of sister is she

Thinking back to that feeling of utter hopelessness, with no way up or down, a surge of anger welled up inside Ye Bufan.

If I hadn't been lucky enough to obtain the inheritance of the ancient medical school, I'm afraid I would have already parted with my mother.

Ouyang Lan sighed and said, "Son, everyone has their difficulties. Perhaps your aunt didn't have any money at the time."

"Let's put that aside for now, but what about these people coming to collect the debt Back then, if it weren't for your hard work and sacrifices, they wouldn't be where they are today."

Ou Yang Lan has six siblings in her family, three brothers and three sisters. She is the eldest.

When they were teenagers, their father passed away. Later, their mother became seriously ill from overwork, and eventually the burden of the whole family fell on her shoulders.

Due to poverty at home, he gave up his first-place score in the middle school entrance exam and started working to earn money to support his younger siblings' education.

When the youngest, Ouyang Hui and Ouyang Fei went to university, although all three uncles had already entered society to work, they still didn't care about their tuition fees. It was still borne by Ouyang Lan alone.

By then, Ou Yang Lan was already of marriageable age, but she had not married in order to support her family.

To prevent her two younger sisters from giving up halfway, she endured humiliation and married Jiang Shaotien, the playboy son of a wealthy family in the county town. She exchanged herself for 50,000 yuan, allowing Ouyang Hui and Ouyang Fei to graduate from university smoothly.

Back then, both Ou Yang Fei and Ou Yang Hui were very grateful to Ou Yang Lan, and their relationship was quite good.

But later, Jiang Shaotien indulged in gambling and debauchery, squandering his family fortune. He then left Ouyang Lan's mother and daughter to fend for themselves, turning to another wealthy woman for support.

Besides, she adopted Ye Bufan as well, making life even more difficult day by day.

At that time, Ouyang Hui had already graduated from university and entered the county pharmacy bureau with great fanfare.

As the gap between the two sisters' lives widened, Ouyang Huifei not only offered no help but increasingly looked down on Ouyang Lan, completely forgetting her elder sister's kindness to her in the past.lly two mothers."
