Chapter 24: 024: Paternal Cousins (2) At the Lin Family House...@@@@ The sight of their daughter eating pricey cakes like common snacks, along with his mother's indulgence, welcomed Lin Xiyu and his wife as well. However, what pleased them more was Mama Lin's improved complexion compared to this morning, when they had seen her pale and with bloodless lips. Not only does she now look rosy, but her appetite has returned. Papa Lin, filled with joy, revealed the truth to his son and daughter-in-law. Although Lin Xiyu was initially skeptical that Xue'er had actually treated his mother, he eventually came to accept the result and felt compelled to believe it as well. However, when Lin Xiyu and his spouse discovered that Xue'er had misdiagnosed Mama Lin's previous physician, they began to suspect something was not quite right. Saint Angeles Hospital. They remembered that Lin Xiyu had insulted one of the affluent young masters in their district. The district is ruled by the Chen, Tian, Shi, and Du clans. The third young master, Shi Lang, was a well-known prodigal son who enjoyed making moves on women who caught his eye and spending his money at the casino. Lin Xiyu and his spouse are employed at a five-star hotel's casino. Lin Xiyu is an area supervisor in the casino, while his wife is a hotel receptionist. If Xue'er, a Divine Doctor, says that the diagnosis was incorrect, then the doctor was in fact at fault. It was that one night when Lin Xiyu saved a young staff member who was being molested by Young Master Shi Lang. Both Lin Xiyu and the hotel had long since forgotten about it since it was an everyday occurrence. Additionally, they knew that Young Master Shi Lang is the son of the owner of Saint Angeles Hospital. After speaking with their parents, Lin Xiyu and his wife discussed this issue briefly with their son Lin Tianyu, and the young Lin Couple discussed Young Master Shi before going to bed. Lin Xiyu's wife said, "Xiyu, do you think Young Master Shi did it intentionally? But how can he do that? Mom had nothing to do with what happened in the casino!" "Maybe it had nothing to do with him," said Lin Xiyu in denial, but his expression says otherwise. "Don't tell Ma and Pa about this. We can try to solve it ourselves." "Okay, I won't tell Mom and Dad, but... what should we do? If your cousin goes to Saint Angeles Hospital tomorrow, would she be okay alone? I heard she is a young, beautiful lady. What if that bastard takes a liking to her as well?" "Don't worry. I will tell Xue'er not to go to the hospital first and ask her to meet us. Let's ask for a half day off tomorrow at work," said Lin Xiyu. "That's okay. We should also return the money she gave to Tianyu." "There is no need for that. That's a gift she had given the children. She would feel embarrassed if the gift she had given to them were returned all of a sudden. Just think of it as an accumulated gift for the children from their aunt. But we should also open a bank account for Ra'er as A'Yu has," said Lin Xiyu. "Good to sleep now. I will send a message to Xue'er tomorrow morning." "I think it's better to send it tonight. You told me she is a low-blooded person. She definitely would have a hard time waking up in the morning," said Lin Xiyu's wife. His wife's advice was so reasonable that Lin Xiyu agreed without thinking otherwise. "I will send the message now." --- At the Fu Family House... After a few hours of waiting, the sound of an engine outside the house stopping in front of the Fu family house let everyone know that Fu Rue, the person they had been waiting for, had finally arrived home. The children in this house had all gone to sleep, but the adults remained awake and eagerly awaited the return of the family member. After a long night of driving, Fu Rue entered the house quietly, not expecting his parents, big brother, and sister-in-law to be up waiting for him. The metal gates changed as soon as the sound of the engine stopped in the nearby parking lot. "All the mansions in these folders are mid-size mansions within the central region, and most of them seem to have been bought, as the exact details of the mansion, including the secret rooms and attics, were displayed. Ma, Pa, why did Xue'er give this to us? Don't tell me...!" said Fu Rue as he thought of something. Then Fu Rue stared at the folders in his hands and the expensive-looking cakes saved to him by the family, as well as the exquisite fruit basket that cost more than 1000 rmb. He does not think it is such a coincidence, though, because everyone in the Yue family knows that Uncle Yue's family was recently having a hard time with daily expenses. They had to borrow money from them multiple times, though those debts were recently fully paid one day. Mama Fu sighed and said, "Xue'er left those. She told us to pick a house each for one family, including the Lin family next door and the Cen family." "Xue'er said we can't decline since we've promised to accept her gift. We called you two to ask what you thought. I suggest accessing it. Xue'er is right. The current house is too small for the children to live in. She wants us to consider it a big gift from your Uncle Yue's family. All the mansion in that folder is bought by her, she told us to choose which ones we want and call the number printed here and the other side would process the ownership to us," said Papa Fu. Fu Rue asked, "Did Xue'er tell us to pick a house and each lot? Are these mansions from the Central Region all hers?" "I'll ask you Uncle Yue tomorrow. Tonight, think about what to do for now. It's okay for us old couples to choose after you guys did. Don't forget to let your sister Cen and her husband choose as well. If possible, let all daughters of the Cen family choose one each as well," said Mama Fu. Fu Ruan asked, "Is that alright, Ma? Even if there are lots of empty houses in this place, what if Xue'er has to bring over her other relatives? We can't occupy everything from the Yue Family." "It should be fine. I've checked that most of these mansions are located in the same area, the left-wing area of the central region. If Xue'er plans to have Aunt Yue's relatives move over, they might choose the houses on the right wing instead," said Fu Rue. Papa Fu said, "That's better then. I am more worried about your Uncle Yue Pei instead. His children all have houses on their own, so there is no need to move, but I will just ask Xuya what he plans to do with his elder brother's family." "If possible, I want to meet Xue'er," said Fu Rue. Papa Fu said, "I don't know where she had gone or if she went home afterward, but it is better if you ask your aunt Lin next door, as they were the ones who last saw her." "Then I'll drop by tomorrow morning. Tomorrow, I have a day off. I can visit Xue'er as it's been a while since I saw her," said Fu Rue. Mama Fu said, "I'll cook her favorites. Bring them over to her to eat." "That's right, she likes your pork blood stew. She will love it if I bring some for her tomorrow," said Fu Rue. Fu Ruan thought for a while and said, "I will go with you tomorrow. I can take half a day off too." "I want to see Xue'er too! But I guess we can take a day off together. Say hi to her for me," said Qu Wenxi. Fu Ruan said, "Don't worry, we can visit them together next time." "Okay. Let's bring Wenya and Ruya at that time," said Qu Wenxi. The night had returned to its calm, and only when they had concluded their chat did they return to their individual chambers to slumber.
